Chapter 441: Chapter 383: Tremendous Influence

Talking on the phone with Gu Wei.

Lu Li sensed the situation over at Diamond Home and realized that Liu Kexin seemed to be waking up soon.

Having had the most intimate encounter with her just last night, he couldn’t let her wake up alone in the morning. That would be truly terrible boyfriend behavior.

Besides, she was already pregnant.

Lu Li definitely couldn’t be that guy.

He wasn’t that kind of person!

Well, he was kind of a jerk. Like, when something similar happened with Julia Giannini recently, he straight up disappeared and hasn’t visited her since.

Come on, would you treat your girlfriend and a “running buddy” the same way?

Lu Li left the first “Savior” mecha he had built to guard the super AI Nuwa, and headed back to Diamond Home himself.

Master bedroom.

Liu Kexin slowly woke up.

Before she even opened her eyes, she instinctively reached out to hug Lu Li, only to find he wasn’t there.

In that instant, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Li, dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at her.

Liu Kexin asked, a bit perplexed, “Why did you get up so early?”

Lu Li leaned over and got closer, “I had some things to deal with, so I got up a bit early. If you’re still sleepy, you can go back to sleep. It’s not time for work yet anyway.”

“No more sleep.” Liu Kexin reached out and wrapped her arms affectionately around Lu Li, “I don’t know why, I was really tired last night, but now I feel so energized this morning.”

Of course you feel energized!

You practically ate my “Tang Monk’s meat.”

Plus, I kind of “flashed” your body with energy.

Lu Li didn’t explain, he just said with concern, “Kexin, now that you’re pregnant, you need to take special care of your body. How about delegating work at the company to others and taking it easy at home instead?”

“What?” Liu Kexin was a bit dazed, “I’m already pregnant?”

If someone else had said this, Liu Kexin might not have believed it. But since Lu Li, who was practically a “god,” said it, she knew it had to be true, naturally believing it without doubt.

Lu Li gave her a peck on the cheek, “Yes, so can you set aside the company’s matters and stay by my side these days?”

Liu Kexin made a face, “I was planning to have kids after we got married, and now I’m pregnant! Am I going to get married while already pregnant?”

Lu Li: “…”

To be honest, he had never seen Liu Kexin speak so playfully despite being with her for so long.

It seemed like once their relationship reached a certain depth, Liu Kexin really let her guard down.

Lu Li hadn’t even had time to respond.

Liu Kexin suddenly thought of something and anxiously turned her head, “Lu Li, you are going to marry me, right?”

Lu Li said, chuckling helplessly, “Do I look like someone who would abandon you after messing around? Just let your dad start prepping for the wedding. I know you guys have a big family, and it takes a while to organize a wedding.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Kexin happily cupped his face and gave him a big kiss, “I knew you were the best.”

Then she turned around excitedly to get her phone, “I’m going to call my dad right now and tell him to start preparing the wedding.”

Lu Li grabbed her hand and said, “Hey, no rush. You just woke up, shouldn’t we do something else first?”

Liu Kexin shot him an exasperated look, “Are you insatiable? Thinking about that first thing in the morning?”

Lu Li rolled his eyes, “Are we doing it or not?”

Liu Kexin sighed and said, “You’ve already promised to marry me, so I’ll have to listen to you from now on. But let me wash up first.”

Lu Li teased her, “Can you start calling me hubby now?”

Liu Kexin blushed slightly, “I can, but… I just can’t say it.”

“I don’t care,” Lu Li said playfully, “I want to hear it.”

“Alright, alright, I can’t win against you.” Liu Kexin obediently acquiesced, her face flushed as red as an apple and whispered in a voice softer than a mosquito, “Hu… Hubby.”

Lu Li said, “What? I couldn’t hear you.”

Well, with his incredible hearing, there was no way he couldn’t hear her, he was just teasing Liu Kexin.

Liu Kexin, being very obedient, mustered up her courage and said a bit louder, “Hubby.”

Thrilled, Lu Li gave her a peck on the lips and patted the bed, “Go wash up, I’ll be waiting here for you.”

“Got it, you big perv.”

Liu Kexin hummed a tune, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.

…

The relationship developments between Lu Li and Liu Kexin were indeed heartwarming.

However, outside, things got pretty interesting as someone speculated that Lu Li wanted to dominate Earth.

The online buzz in Huaxia was truly explosive at that moment.

In a certain WeChat group, many people were discussing this matter.

“Hey, did you hear?”

“What?”

“Great God Lu Li is going to dominate Earth!”

“Why are you so happy about him dominating Earth?”

“Hey, are you really that dense? If Great God Lu Li dominates Earth, which country’s people would benefit the most? He, being a Huaxia citizen, has repeatedly made significant contributions to our nation’s scientific research, meaning he wouldn’t do anything to us Huaxia folks, so naturally, we’d benefit the most!”

“Oh right, if we support him now, maybe when he rules Earth, we’ll be hailed as the ’heroes who helped him rise.’”

“I’ve decided, I want to be Great God Lu Li’s first minion in ruling the Earth!”

“Get lost, what makes you think it’ll be you? If we’re talking about the first minion, it’s gotta be me!”

“Quit arguing, I’m definitely being the minion!”

A bunch of people started stirring up trouble in the WeChat group, full of jubilation.

As if when Lu Li ruled Earth, they, too, would rise with him.

Though, for the most part, they were just having harmless fun online.

It’s just that some people’s mental circuits are a bit different, actually bringing the “reality” out of the web.

…

The rural hometown of Lu Li.

His mom and dad had just gotten up and were preparing to take a trip to Shanghai to look after the Huazhou Junting apartment for their son.

But as soon as they stepped out the door, they saw four or five teenagers, about 17 or 18 years old, from nearby homes.

At first, Lu Li’s parents didn’t understand, wondering what these kids were doing blocking their way early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, the moment they appeared, the kids surrounded them immediately.

“Uncle, Auntie,” a tall boy said eagerly, “I heard Brother Lu wants to conquer the Earth. Does he need any help? I can fight for him.”

“Right!”

“I can help too!”

“I’m willing to do anything for Brother Lu!”

The boys spoke with conviction.

Lu Li’s parents were dumbfounded, never expecting this situation.

They could only persuade these kids not to entertain such ideas and to focus on their studies at school.

…

Not only Lu Li’s parents encountered such a situation.

Lu Li’s close friend, Qin Liang, faced a similar circumstance.

He had just woken up and hadn’t had time to freshen up when his phone rang.

Answering, Qin Liang said: “Xiaocai, what’s up so early?”

This Xiaocai is the younger son of another business tycoon, Cai Rujin, and is only 16 or 17, often playful.

Xiaocai was excited on the phone: “Brother Qin, I heard you’re close with Great God Lu Li? He’s planning to conquer the Earth, right? Could you introduce me, so I can be a pioneer for him?”

Qin Liang replied irritably, “What are you thinking all day? Conquer the Earth? No such thing exists! I’ve got a lot on my plate, stop ranting.”

With that, he hung up the phone directly.

…

Such incidents continued to unfold.

Many young people, not yet mature in their thoughts, approached those who knew Lu Li, like relatives and friends, offering to serve Lu Li in his global conquest, seeking to gain glory by aligning with him.

All of Lu Li’s relatives and friends were at a loss, just like Lu Li’s parents, persuading and hoping these people could drop the idea.

Unfortunately, many young individuals were stubborn in their thoughts, not giving up and planning to form an alliance to support Lu Li’s conquest with actual actions.

This immediately became a burden on society.

Many cities had to increase law enforcement to maintain stability and order.

…

In Diamond Home.

Lu Li, with his super perception, naturally witnessed all these scenes.

Frankly, he was speechless.

He had never even thought of conquering the Earth.

It was just a group of people on the internet speculating and spreading rumors.

How could it cause so many problems?

In the country, impulsive teenagers wanted to follow him and fight for the country.

Abroad, panic was rife, with people scrambling for supplies.

It seemed the entire world was in chaos because of this “rumor.”

Lu Li, having tight schedules, never planned to address this issue.

But seeing the global chaos and his relatives and friends unnecessarily troubled,

he thought if he didn’t respond now, a series of man-made disasters might occur before gamma-ray bursts arrived.

It wasn’t just speculation.

With his super perception, Lu Li saw some impoverished and underdeveloped countries seemed to showcase an “end of the world” scene.

Some lawbreakers, emboldened, were engaging in burning, killing, and looting.

These culprits acted as if saying tomorrow they would be ruled by Lu Li, not knowing life and death outcomes, better to resort to violence to seize resources and enjoy life.

Things were better domestically.

After all, Lu Li was from Huaxia.

People believed he wouldn’t cause harm to Huaxia.

Other countries were truly in turmoil, with dire situations.

“Looks like I need to step forward and respond to calm things down,”

Lu Li pondered, “Otherwise the global chaos is one thing, but my family and friends won’t have any peace, and my parents will definitely seek me out, disrupting my focus on resolving the gamma-ray burst.”

Just as he was thinking this, the bathroom door opened, revealing a freshly showered Liu Kexin wrapped in a towel, walking out gracefully.

She was more open compared to last night, blinking and said, “Lu Li, I’m ready. Are you going to shower and then…”

Lu Li looked at her and said, “Later, I need to deal with some matters first.”

Liu Kexin climbed into bed and curiously asked, “What matters?”

Lu Li said, “I need to respond to the rumors outside. Many people are spreading that I want to conquer the Earth, and the whole world is in chaos. If I don’t respond, the situation will worsen.”

Liu Kexin smiled with her mouth closed, “Look at your strong influence. It’s just a rumor, yet it causes such a stir.”

Yes indeed.

His influence was too massive.

Even a rumor could cause global panic!

Lu Li, both amused and irritated, immediately commanded Nuwa from afar to issue a response on his behalf.
