Spare Me, Great Lord!

Panda Novel

The place where the incident occurred was actually not very far from the Capital, only four hours by train. But the location was slightly tricky as it was hard for the Heavenly Network to deploy any emergency assistance there in a timely manner.

Moreover, after the completion of their mission, the opponents could easily go downstream with minimal delay, leaving almost no trace behind for the Heavenly Network to track.

However, they had made a very serious mistake and had lost their lives.

The air was suffocatingly tight aboard the military truck. Everyone was slowly putting back on their airs but Lu Shu was still pondering whether Nie Ting’s help was intentional.

His own take was a yes. First of all, he was not someone who always took chances. It was never wrong to expect the worst and strive for the best.

To Lu Shu, it was his positivity towards life, always think about the worst case scenarios but never lose hope.

If Nie Ting had indeed intended on helping him hide his power and even give him a magical item of the same level as deep sea white sand, then he must have even bigger plans for Lu Shu later on.

But the thing was, as a Class C strength-type newbie, what was the use of him even if the other party was aware of his double awakening?

The truck drove straight to the Capital station. A person from the Heavenly Network jumped on board, “Surrender all your personal belongings, including your wallets, hand phones and weapons, now. Remember what I said, ALL your belongings.”

Some people were reluctant, “We are here for progress report, not imprisonment. Why must we hand up our phones!”

The Heavenly Network person smiled, “Don’t worry. All of you will be the future mainstays of our Heavenly Network. I won’t mind if you want to remember my face and give me a hard time then. But right now, you have to do as I say. Else, I will take it as your withdrawal from the Heavenly Network.”

Everyone’s face froze. Actually, all of them had been reminded by high-position masters like Zhong Yutang to behave and not to disgrace their hometowns.

Everyone was clear that they were in the Capital for some assessment. Could it be the start of the assessment already? At the train station?! To help other people carry their bloody luggage?

Despite their grudges, they still had to do as instructed. Now, they were wondering, would the unauthorized possession of items be reflected in the performance report too?

Originally, as Class A aptitude geniuses, they could even obtain Class D techniques without any military contributions. Thus, they had the feeling that they were receiving special treatment in the Heavenly Network. All of them thought that such treatment would continue in the Capital.

But the reality showed otherwise. Despite being described as the future mainstays, they were clearly not being taken seriously at the moment.

After everything had been surrendered, the person smiled, “Very good. These items can be claimed after the completion of your task.”

Someone hesitated, “Task? What task?”

“The task is, to survive 15 days in the Capital on your own. No restrictions on what you can do. Now, alight, everyone,” then, the person got off the truck. After everyone had alighted, the truck drove away.

No teachers, no friends, no communication devices, no money. How to survive 15 days in the Capital like this?

“Didn’t he say no restrictions? Haha, it doesn’t seem a big deal to us. I’ll go and find a place to make a phone call,” the makeup girl He Xie laughed.

Lu Shu complained in his heart, could you please use your brain? Apparently the Heavenly Network wanted to examine everyone’s character?!

Perhaps none of them had ever gone through poverty. But Lu Shu knew that only in adversity could one manifest their true nature.

If the Heavenly Network wished to test them this way, besides a character evaluation, there should not be a second reason.

Some might see it as a piece of cake, but you would think otherwise when problems arose. Without your identity card, you would not be allowed to even get a legal job. But if you worked illegally, would you fight back when bullied?

Lu Shu looked around. Who the hell would know whether there were talented people from the Heavenly Network acting like pedestrians and monitoring them.

No, he could not follow his team. It would make an easy target. Furthermore, in terms of survival, this bunch of geniuses might become his burden.

Also, to tell the truth, Lu Shu had the least concern about the Heavenly Network’s character evaluation on him. He did not aspire to be a Heavenly King after all!

Unlike the geniuses interested in furthering their career in the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu did not need to care about the Network’s comments on him at all.

Now, knowing that Nie Ting might have other plans for him, Lu Shu was certain that it would not cost him much if the Heavenly Network had a bad impression of him. In any case, he was already a Major.

Without money, the group of geniuses who had never stepped into society were suddenly flustered.

With money, they could always find food and accommodation wherever they were. But now, it remained a question as to where they should go to eat or stay.

No money, no sense of security. This was also applicable to the Daoyuan Class geniuses.

“In my opinion, since the Heavenly Network put us together, they certainly hope we can work together to figure out a way. So, let’s brainstorm. What can we do?” most of the geniuses were not stupid.

“Also, I think the Heavenly Network always discourages us from getting what we want by using our power in front of civilians. So, we’d better not show our own abilities,” someone suggested, “Maybe this can add bonus points.”

Yi Ran laughed, “How about we state our own strengths? So that we can plan out what we can do. I don’t believe a group of geniuses together can be defeated by life.”

“Piano!”

“Piano!”

“Accordion!”

“Painting!”

The group listed a long string of talents. Unsurprisingly, there were some similarities in the geniuses’ families as their hobbies were all about cultivating their temperament.

Lu Shu mused, maybe this bunch of kids could really form a band! Then what could he do? Whistling?

But they didn’t even have any musical instruments!

It was Lu Shu’s turn, but he did not know how to play any instruments. While other people were all talking about Western instruments, would it be too degrading if he said he could whistle?

Lu Shu went quiet. Yi Ran urged, “What is your talent, Lu Shu?”

He pondered for a while, “Breaking a rock with my chest?”

This should be high-level enough?

However, everyone else almost choked on his reply. Why did he seem like such a misfit among them!?
