Actually, the saying ‘the better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off’ made a lot of sense. Usually, the people who liked to show off did it for a sense of superiority and presence and the really capable ones would not need to show off since these feelings came naturally. This was the logic.
But yet Lu Shu said that the more you show off, that meant that you had to possess more to do so. This was not a philosophy… but it was the truth!
In the gang that Li Qi had built, the gang leader was still affected by his tier F aptitude while Liu Li had somehow been roped into it. To make things worse, Li Qingyu had been expelled and had left the gang.
And so only Liu Li and Yuan Lingqi were participating in the conversation with Lu Shu. After Lu Shu had sent the message, the two of them suddenly had a feeling of Déjà vu, it was just like that time in the class group chat…
“From Xu Yuan’s distress, +141…”
“From Yuan Ling Qi…”
These people were basically those of lower aptitude and they all felt like they had this common enemy and that as long as they grouped together, they did not have to be afraid of those with higher aptitudes. But Lu Shu’s one deadly message caused everyone to be momentarily speechless.
Those with higher aptitudes were of course fine with it but how rare were tier B aptitudes in the whole school?
Also, not all the low aptitude students were affected by it. The message was quite subjective.
But still, it was the group chat for the whole of Luo Cheng international school’s metahuman trainees which meant that over 70 people were in it and in the blink of an eye, Lu Shu had earned more than 3000 distress points!
As Lu Shu was walking to school, he continued looking at the group chat with glistening eyes. If everyone continued chatting, he would be able to break through the first level of the nebula in no time!
However… no one was talking…
Lu Shu sent another message, “Why is no one replying? C’mon, let’s chat!”
Some people in the chat were mind boggled! Lu Shu had spoilt the mood in the chat with his message and what the sh*t did he want them to reply?! As to why no one was replying, shouldn’t he be aware of the reason?!
“From Yuan Lingqi’s distress, +47…”
Another wave of distress points was added and just within the morning, Lu Shu’s distress points had accumulated to over 13000 and this was the fastest ever distress points he had received!
Lu Shu was stunned speechless for a moment. Truthfully, he only wanted the conversation to continue and did not expect this much distress points…
Hehe, these classmates were too cute!
Thinking about it, although the stinky tofu was considered a mass-affecting weapon, but unlocking future nebulas would require many more celestial fruits and since he did not have the recipe of the stinky tofu, he should still stick to the plan of relying on and making use of the people.
Arriving in class, the first thing Lu Shu did was to ask his deskie Jiang Shuyi, “The metahuman trainees from your school, did they form a gang? If you all have a group chat, can you add me in please?”
Jiang Shuyi instinctively felt that something was wrong. Bringing Lu Shu into the group would definitely result in something terrible and so he immediately rejected.
Lu Shu was persistent, “Cmon, I just want to join a group!”
For some reasons, the other classmates in class found it hard to communicate with Jiang Shuyi and thought that he was quite heartless. But Lu Shu thought otherwise as he could always hold a normal conversation with him.
Everyone had also starting realizing Jiang Shuyi’s real gender and thinking about how they had asked him for his number and to add him to various social media, they all cringed.
Everyone also noticed that this Jiang Shuyi was quite eccentric. In class, he seemed to only be able to hit it off with Lu Shu and he could never speak more than two sentences with others.
Deep down, Jiang Shuyi felt that although his deskie Lu Shu was quite toxic, having spent a long time with him had made it more comfortable to be around him.
It was a strange feeling. No matter what Jiang Shuyi said, Lu Shu did not judge or get offended and the same applied to whatever Lu Shu said. Because of this, they were able to become friends…
But… very little people could do that…
During lunchtime, Lu Shu opened his lunchbox and in it were some fried vinegar potato strips and rice. Fried vinegar potatoes were Lu Shu’s specialty which many other always failed in bringing out the sweet and sour taste no matter how much vinegar they added.
The trick to it was to soak the potato strips in vinegar before frying it and you would achieve the flavourful potatoes.
Although the local culinary industry was quite profound, there were still some dishes that were easy to figure out. But those that you can’t figure out, it was impossible to replicate the same taste.
Lu Shu was pondering as he ate his lunch, “If I can earn a hundred over or even a few hundred dollars every day from the stinky tofu, how should I spend the money?”
“Should I bring Lu Xiaoyu out to play on labor day? Or maybe summer break?”
Lu Xiaoyu had never been out of Luo Cheng and Lu Shu had always wanted to change that. Previously, he did not have the resources to do so but now he could.
Lu Shu felt that going somewhere far on labor day was not as worth it and there would also be dangerous people around during that time.
During summer break, Luo Cheng’s weather would be sweltering but the green tea lake that Lu Xiaoyu had always wanted to go would be very cooling and be most suitable to spend the summer.
He should discuss and come up with a plan with Lu Xiaoyu that night.
Even though they had some money, they should still plan out the details meticulously as they had no other income to rely on.
Lu Shu was consistently doing the day training. Although the sun rays would always merge with the flame within his heart, there were still no visible changes.
The night training had a more visible progress and Lu Shu had stayed up all night yesterday again. It was common knowledge that sleep was important and in the winter, even waking up was a struggle. But now that he did not need to sleep, he can’t help but feel strange about it.
A whole night of training was equivalent to that of one or two celestial fruits and the progress of lighting up the 6th star was at 25%. Should he buy a celestial fruit to complete lighting up the 6th star?
Lu Shu felt that this was a possibility.
But he was still unsure when Daoyuan class would start teaching them about training methods. This was bound to happen but as of now, it seemed like the objective was still to brainwash the students.
They were already using extreme methods to warn the students and as a result, most people no longer dared to breach the confidentiality regulations.
What could their next move be?
