Chapter 1 You Can't Always Trust What You See, Hear, or Smell

In an illusion, even if the Enlightenment Tree were right in front of Chen Luo, he might not even know it.

To break an illusion, you must find the flaws within it, or use brute force to destroy it.

The first method takes quite a bit of time. If Caroline discovers him and gets into a fight with Chen Luo, it would be impossible for him to break the illusion in a short period.

As for using force, forget about it. His attack power is too weak.

Chen Luo's heart turned cold. This was different from what he had imagined before coming. He had never stolen this kind of "vegetable" before!

I'm just stealing a vegetable; do you have to put up this kind of defense?

Chen Luo didn't have time to waste here, looking for loopholes.

In a few days, when the Enlightenment Tea matures and is distributed, it won't be easy to snatch it.

A small, almost imperceptible voice entered Chen Luo's ears.

"Yuri, hurry up, faster!"

Yuri was briskly carrying dung, a special kind of dung similar to honeybee droppings, which was very beneficial to plants and trees.

At this moment, Yuri, a peak-level Emperor, could easily carry thousands of tons a day.

It wasn't tiring, but the humiliation deeply stung Yuri.

These people used to be obsequious to me, but now they're shouting at me.

I really want to slap them in the face!

Chen Luo looked at Yuri in disbelief.

Yuri?

Didn't you go wandering in the interstellar space as a mercenary?

How could you be here?

Life is truly amazing.

Chen Luo had wanted to grab someone and ask about the situation here, but he didn't expect to meet Yuri.

Chen Luo was also very curious about how Yuri ended up here.

After Yuri finished his work, he hid in a quiet place, a blade of grass in his mouth. Chen Luo directly put Yuri into his ability space.

Yuri was frightened, and then he saw Chen Luo laughing in surprise, pointing at him.

"Yuri!"

Yuri was stunned for a moment, and tears couldn't help but flow down his face. He sobbed, "Chief, you've finally come! Do you know what I've been through these past three months? Wuwu…"

Chen Luo laughed and said, "How did you end up here? You're not a Nature-type, so how could they want you here?"

Yuri briefly explained what had happened.

Chen Luo was dumbfounded. Yuri's life was truly full of ups and downs. He had actually recognized Eugene as his adoptive father.

Pitiful, the adopted son of a Nature-type big shot is actually carrying dung.

Yuri cried, "I wanted to escape, but I couldn't! If you hadn't come, I would have been slaughtered by Eugene like a pig to feed that Yuan'an."

Chen Luo patted Yuri on the shoulder, feigning concern, "How dare they bully my people? Don't worry, I'll help you get revenge."

You dare to bully my little brother?

Then it wouldn't be too much to steal a little something from you, right?

Perfectly justified.

Yuri rolled his eyes, wanting Chen Luo to take him away. Knowing Chen Luo's character, Yuri knew that he had to make some kind of contribution.

I've already thought this through.

I'm familiar with this place. I know which grasses are valuable.

I know exactly where the Enlightenment Tree is and how to get in.

After all, it was me, Yuri, who suggested that Eugene strengthen the defenses against Chen Luo.

Chen Luo was overjoyed. Yuri actually knew the main nodes in the illusion, allowing them to avoid it.

Unexpected, unexpected, Yuri actually made such a great contribution.

Yuri whispered, "Later, you let me out. When the time comes, I'll take you there. Don't worry, as long as it's not Caroline, no one in the illusion will see us."

"From what I've observed, Caroline always does a two-hour beauty treatment in the afternoon, without fail. That stinky woman, she's so vain."

Chen Luo smiled and pointed at Yuri, "Okay, you take me into the village, no, take me over there."

He released Yuri back to his original spot, and Chen Luo quietly waited, beaming.

Yuri returned to the pile of grass and looked around.

Yuri didn't know how awesome Chen Luo was. He was still stuck on the time when Chen Luo stole Norton's ring.

Yuri believed that after stealing from Eugene, Chen Luo would only be able to run away and evade capture.

And after I lead the way for Chen Luo, Eugene will realize what happened. Maybe Eugene will hate me even more than he hates Chen Luo.

Being targeted by a big shot like Eugene, can there be good fruit to eat?

I'll just put the blame on Yuan'an.

You used to pass the buck to me, didn't you?

Yuri walked to a corner and saw Yuan'an sleeping soundly under a tree.

Yuan'an had stayed up too late playing games last night, so he was sleeping during the day. He was afraid of being scolded by Eugene if he was seen, so he hid to sleep.

Yuri coldly looked at what Yuan'an was wearing, returned to his own residence, and put on an identical set of clothes.

These were clothes that Yuan'an had asked Yuri to wash; there were several identical sets.

Yuri and Yuan'an looked very similar, but their expressions and temperaments were different. Yuri was occasionally sneaky, but Yuan'an seemed very纨绔 (wán kù, spoiled and dissolute).

Yuri grinned, becoming Yuan'an.

When the appointed time arrived, Caroline was indeed doing her beauty treatment, completely focused, not at all careless.

Chen Luo directly appeared in the illusion. According to Yuri, all the surveillance equipment here was ineffective.

"Yuan'an" appeared, a look of fear on his face, as if he was being coerced by Chen Luo.

Yuri skillfully led Chen Luo to the Enlightenment Tree and pointed at it.

"This is the Enlightenment Tree. I've observed it. It doesn't need Eugene to take care of it. It can live in any other place. Just take the whole thing away."

Chen Luo glanced at Yuri. Are you teaching me what to do?

Chen Luo was originally hesitant whether to steal the tea leaves or take the entire tree.

If I take it away, can the Enlightenment Tree still live? I shouldn't do things that harm others without benefiting myself.

With Yuri's words, he immediately decided to take the whole thing.

Chen Luo didn't expect the Enlightenment Tree to be such an inconspicuous tree. If Yuri hadn't told him, Chen Luo wouldn't have guessed.

The Enlightenment Tree was sleeping. Chen Luo stepped forward and pulled it out of the soil.

The Enlightenment Tree woke up, and before it could ask what are you doing?, Chen Luo stuffed it into his ability space.

Having an inside man makes things go smoothly.

Chen Luo said, "What other good things are there?"

Yuri hesitated for a moment, "Those things are not like the Enlightenment Tree. They need Eugene to cultivate them. If you pick them by force before the time is right, they won't have any effect. And you don't like ordinary things."

Chen Luo stroked his chin, wondering if he should have Yuri continue to be my inside man here?

When they mature, find a way to contact me, and I'll come back to get them?

But Yuri wants to leave with me.

A fierce look flashed across Yuri's face, "Let's frame Yuan'an for this. You take me out to show my face, and then I'll tamper with Yuan'an's memories."

Chen Luo looked at Yuri in surprise. You can tamper with memories? That's amazing!

Yuri sneered, "It's a little difficult with someone at the same level, but Yuan'an, a weak-willed trash, is easy to deal with."

Criminal. (Internet slang, meaning "you're terrible!")

Chen Luo took Yuri through the void to where Yuan'an was sleeping and saw Yuan'an, whose face was a little pale and whose eyes were dark.

Chen Luo asked, "How many times has he rewarded himself?"

Yuri felt angry when he heard this. That maid was originally mine.

A thought suddenly appeared in Yuri's mind.

Why am I suddenly so unpopular?

Isn't it because this only direct descendant, Yuan'an, suddenly appeared?

Following Chen Lao Liu (Chen the Sixth - Chen Luo), although I can avoid being killed by Eugene, I won't have any resources, and my life will probably be like that forever.

But, if Yuan'an dies, will Eugene put his "love" back on me? Will I be able to live the life of a young master again?

Danger and opportunity coexist. I'll gamble.

If I lose, I'll just lose my head; if I win, I'll have嫩模 (nèn mó, young models).

Yuri has always been bold. After all, he dared to throw dung at Chen Luo's base, threatening him for potatoes.

Yuri's eyes flickered, and he suddenly pulled out his defensive dagger, covered Yuan'an's mouth, and stabbed him 888 times.

I'll teach you to slap my face, teach you to bully my maid, teach you to make me carry dung.

What is your status, and what is my position?

Yuri vented all the anger he had been holding in during this time.

The pitiful King-level Yuan'an was held down by the Emperor-level Yuri and beaten to death.

Chen Luo was dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"

Chen Luo just came to steal things; he never thought about hurting anyone.

Yuri said sinisterly, "You killed Yuan'an. I'm Eugene's only cub. I'll continue to be your inside man. Is that okay?"
