Chapter 33: Chapter 33

When classes were over at noon, Liu Li invited the students over to celebrate their enrolment into Daoyuan class. In addition, he wanted to improve his relationship with his fellow classmates who had enrolled in the same class.

Judging from the current situation, more than 90 students from Luo Cheng International School. And based on the situation outside of the school, it seemed like most high school students were selected followed by the junior college students, while rarely any primary school students made the cut.

According to the rumors, in certain primary schools, only 1 student was selected to enter the Daoyuan class.

While in Junior colleges, 4 to 5 were selected. High schools, on the other hand, had massive amounts of students chosen for the Daoyuan class. One school could have tens of students selected and even in such a big school like Luo Cheng International School, having over 90 students chosen was considered to be more than average.

Could it be an issue with puberty? Could age have played a factor in their possibility of awakening?

In the 3 small cities within Luo Cheng, the total number of citizens was considered relatively small. The Daoyuan classrooms were located in the Music building which was right beside the Main Teaching Building. That being said, the higher-ups must have made calculations based on the number of personnel enrolling in the class and realized there were enough classrooms to host them all.

Liu Li, Yuan Lingqi, Li Qingyu and Lu Shu were the few selected from Sophomore Class 3. From the looks of it, Liu Li had wanted everyone to get along long before their becoming of metahumans; and not only after the metahuman situation had arisen.

However, the interesting thing was that Liu Li did not choose to invite Lu Shu and seemed to have explicitly excluded him.

Lu Shu, nonetheless, could understand that it was not due to Liu Li’s pettiness. The crucial fact was that it was pretty common to have a shadow of bad impressions cast upon someone who constantly insults him and that person was none other than Lu Shu… …

Lu Shu happily packed his bag and headed home. It was a great day today as the weather after the Chinese New Year had gotten warmer and after class, the calming orange sunset was extremely soothing.

He then headed to purchase 2 dollars’ worth of sweet potatoes. Right before he left, Lu Shu decided to purchase another smaller sweet potato to signify a small celebration.

Celebrations with students like Liu Li usually involved going to big hotels, KTV or having a large steamboat party. To Lu Shu, it would be too hypocritical for him to say that he was not a little envious of those who were given the comfort of allowance by their parents.

But he felt that his situation was not that bad either where he had always lived with the different circumstances he had encountered in life.

At least… … it was interesting.

It was rumored that the students in the Daoyuan class did not have to pay for their school fees and Lu Shu pondered for a while, thinking to himself, “There is no need…hopefully?”

Since the Physical examination was free, it seemed like the budget of the school was plentiful. Lu Shu, however, was still uncertain.

In the event whereby he had to produce a sum of school fees, Lu Shu realized that he really could not afford it.

Although in the eyes of his classmates, Lu Shu had a sh*tty personality; Lu Shu had always felt that he had a good nature. Even though he had already awoken to immense strength, he was wary and careful to not step out of line to do unnecessary things.

He knew he had the ability to climb up houses barehanded to steal valuables but he also knew that he would never do something like that.

For example, if Liang Che had provoked him, he would have definitely retaliated. In the case that Liang Che had burned him that day, he would hunt him down for life when he gets stronger in the future.

But without any provocation, he was mild and gentle. At least based on his own values, he was.

But according to Lu Shu’s reputation in the outside world, those were just his personal thoughts of himself. Those that he had angered did not feel the same way as he did… they definitely felt that he was in no way morally upright at all!

Lu Shu returned home to see that Lu Xiaoyu was watching the television and he raised up his hands to reveal the sweet potatoes within the plastic bag.

Lu Xiaoyu instantly rushed to him. Seeing her act like a voracious wolf, Lu Shu sniggered and commented, “You have really grown fatter have you not? A lady cannot be too fat. You are starting to look like a dessert.”

“Dessert? What dessert?” Lu Xiaoyu peered up at Lu Shu with shining eyes.

“Go, go, go, go and have your sweet potatoes… “Lu Shu hushed. Subsequently, he changed into his slippers and made himself comfortable on the couch, covering himself with the blanket pre-heated by Lu Xiaoyu.

The house was chilly and they were unable to afford the air conditioning to heat up the room. As such, a blanket was always required when they were watching the television on the couch due to the extreme cold. Between the both of them, they were not very particular about each other and hence, it was not weird that Lu Shu was using the blanket that she had just left her body warmth on.

Lu Shu nested on the couch lazily, watching the broadcast of the movie << Lurking>> from last year and it was one of his favorite movies from 2009.

There was however not much excitement as he had watched it many times with Lu Xiaoyu.

Flipping through the sea of records of distress points obtained in his mind, he was impressed that the largest contributor to distress points was by none other than Ye Lingling. His deskie had managed to be the hero in his training journey!

The distress points accumulated from his 2 circles of friends had already given him over 13000 points. While within this period of time, he had continued to accumulate about 1000 points more, leading to a total of over 15000 distress points.

A bold idea suddenly struck Lu Shu- Since he had accumulated such a great amount of distress points, he would be able to test the limits of the refresher fruit on himself.

Lu Shu was grateful to be able to achieve the effects of consuming one celestial fruit from two days of training. What if it continued to increase? Shortening the time frame to a day? Half a day? Or perhaps… …even an hour?

Lu Shu realized that his growth rate increased each time he had lighted up a star. The increase was however not as significant as the effects a refresher fruit would have given him.

To the lottery!

Planning to participate in the lottery with a budget of 5000 distress points, Lu Shu was determined to stop after he had finished the 5000 points. The remaining 10000 distress points would then be saved for future use, either for celestial fruit exchanges or to enter the lottery again. He had planned it intricately and gotten it all under control.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu noticed a change in Lu Shu’s mood as he had seemed to have gotten uncomfortable. She curiously asked, “Lu Shu are you alright?”

Lu Shu subconsciously replied, “Thanks for participat… … Erm no… it’s nothing… just continue watching your television.”

There were so many “Thank you for participating”. Lu Shu felt the stings in his heart.

He had the determination to finish participating in the lottery regardless of the outcome. Ruthlessly, he burned through the 5000 distress points on the lottery.

At the last draw of the lottery, Lu Shu took in a huge breath. As he opened the bag in the system, he only saw 4 refresher fruit. The average odds of obtaining a refresher fruit would be around 1000 points but there were anomalies. There were times where none would get drawn at all or instances where it was drawn many times consecutively. Only with the increment in a number of draws in the lottery would he then be able to ascertain the true probability of drawing a refresher fruit.

What a sh*tty system this is, what a sh*tty system!

Lu Shu thought to himself once again and compared himself to the other Metahumans. He had the means to strengthen his own ability and with that being said, he could make up for the difference in their abilities as he slowly strengthened himself.

With such thoughts, he felt much better about himself.

Although having more merits, he needed to put in more effort than other metahumans to discover the secrets of his body and master them. As such, he already had thought of a sort of systematic plan to strengthen himself.

Such an approach would never be feasible for Metahumans such as Li Qi.

From another perspective, Lu She had already found a way to his final, perfect form and believed that Metahumans with the ability to improve their abilities would be more reliable even though they had to start off with weaker prowess.

This would be Lu Shu’s greatest advantage.
