Spare Me, Great Lord!

From the looks of things, there were some people who labeled themselves as ‘Daoyuan class students’ on social media as means to attract the attention of girls; some were even liars who used such labels when they were actually not part of it.

The trend was no longer to impersonate a kid from a rich family but to impersonate a Daoyuan class student…

In reality, the majority of Daoyuan class were sophomores that under the strict controls of the black coats.

This meant that most Daoyuan class students did not have the time to do such things and students tend to be rather shy. If a pretty senior came over to flirt with boys in Daoyuan class, the boys would probably be too shy and run away.

Not everyone was born to be an expert in love.

There were even rumors that students of the Daoyuan class had become better and stronger in certain aspects after training…

Some nightclubs even had hiring advertisements that said: High salary! Strength type male metahuman needed in public relations… There were more dishonest than decent such cases.

Anyway, the current society was just like this, there were bound to be good and bad people and in order to stay out of trouble, you had to be quick-witted.

It was undeniable that… Metahumans quickly adapted to the society and this was mankind’s unique ability: to adapt.

If humans could not adapt, mankind would not have been on top of the animal chain.

Of course, there were people who questioned: would metahumans disrupt social stability?

There weren’t only good comments about metahumans on the forums. Someone revealed that in South America, there were already cases of metahumans committing crimes. And so were cases in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Australia which were widely broadcasted by their local media.

But locally, cases like these were really rare…

It was a fact that the local public security had always made top 10 amongst all counties in the world and it was not surprising that the appearance of metahumans did not change that.

With regards to this, Lu Shu was grateful for the black coats’ prowess and first-class methods in maintaining social stability.

Having mentioned the black coats, what could their sector be called? It couldn’t just be ‘related sector’, right?

At this moment, Lu Shu noticed a girl 2 rows away listening to class when she suddenly started crying and even kept her head down so that the teacher could not see.

Looking closely, she was just secretly reading a romance novel…

Wow! Lu Shu had a sudden flashback. He had read some novels before and some plots were really disgusting. Maybe he could… use writing novels as a way to earn distress points?!

However… Lu Shu was troubled. Even though his grades were always good and even topped the class in the previous exam, his essays were consistently poor and never excelled in that area!

Damn it! Lu Shu felt like he had just discovered a mountain of treasure but just could not retrieve it, how frustrating! He should have read more novels!

Most writers had read large numbers of books. Perhaps the imagination part relied on talent but the writing required a long time to develop.

What was meant by writing? Was it the use of bombastic and pretty terms? No.

Writing was the ability to pen down the world, characters and the storyline inside your mind. This looked simple but it was actually not.

Even though Lu Shu had read a few novels, these ten years, others were busy living their lives while he was busy trying to make ends meet, so where to find the energy to read that much?

A student who also worked odd jobs until 2 am, where could he find that much leisure time to read novels?

What he read the most were news. The habit to read the news was because he wanted to be updated as sooner or later, he had to go into the society and find a job to feed his family.

At that point in time, he had to do whatever he could with his fragile body so as to fight for a living for him and Lu Xiaoyu. Instead of reading a novel, he would rather have some sleep.

Lu Shu did not have options in life since he lacked the basic material foundation.

The rule of this world was that everything was controlled by destiny and everything was already decided. His living standards already decided that even if Lu Shu were to write a novel, no one might even read it; or if written too poorly, no one would.

Things like distress points relied on the people and if no one read, there would not be any distress points.

But Lu Shu’s life wasn’t that bad… He still had his adorable classmates.

This afternoon, Lu Shu did not bring his stinky tofu to the canteen but instead, he took a public bus to a second-hand phone market that was 5km away. He wanted to buy a new SIM card to use for the Golden Foundation forum.

The second-hand phone market was located in the heart of Luo Cheng city which used to be bustling with activity but had later on been reduced to a low-class business district.

A few years ago there were still people carrying a bag and asking around, “Anyone wants movies, imported ones? There are all sorts- Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Korean!”

But such people were no longer seen and a new business took its place: Second-hand phones, selling lost identification cards, phone SIM cards, etc.

This place had no regulations or control and it was a mess.

But Lu Shu liked this kind of messy environment. Wearing his hoodie and walking on the streets, he casually found a portable stall and managed to buy a SIM card with just 70 dollars.

The phone he was using was also a second-hand one and now, his SIM card was also bought using someone else’s identification. With the tens of thousands of users on the Golden Foundation forum, it was almost impossible to find out his real identification.

On the way back in the bus, Lu Shu was scrolling through the forums and came upon a new post. The original poster seemed familiar, it was the one selling chives!

The post said: Not only were the chives sold out, even his house was sold at a high price.

Lu Shu was stunned and continued reading. Apparently, after the buyer bought the chives, he was not satisfied and decided to offer a price that was 30% higher than the market rate to buy the house that the seller lived in, claiming that he needed to grow his own chives to achieve the effects…

Lu Shu looked at the post in disbelief. Why were some people so weird, buying a house to grow chives to eat? Did this guy not care about his money?

That’s not right… Lu Shu had suddenly thought of another possibility.

If the idea that different places in the world had different Feng Shui was right, then could it be that the house that those special chives grew in was richer in magical energy?

Thinking about it, Lu Shu understood what happened. The buyer had bought this place to carry out his training!

Daoyuan class had resumed at night and Xi Fei started off with checking everyone’s progress.

Liu Li’s hopes to complete two cycles were destroyed as those who tried practicing in the day realized that the speed of training was much faster at home.

At this moment, Xi Fei asked Jiang Shuyi for his progress and he calmly replied, “Progress, 2 cycles completed.”

Everyone was taken aback. Jiang Shuyi did not only have tier B aptitude but could also complete 2 cycles so quickly?

But everyone also noticed that Xi Fei was not surprised…
