After Lu Shu and Chen Zuan hurried away, everyone else stood, staring at one another in disbelief.
“Was the guy just now really the Lu Shu that our teacher mentioned?”
“I think so… I didn’t notice it at first. Think about his shirt.”
Everyone was trying to recall Lu Shu’s shirt…
What the hell! Was it not printed there, Lu Shu’s coming and Lu Shu’s gone?!
He was really that legendary Lu Shu?
Speaking of which, how did Chen Zuan come to know him? They turned to look at the hole in the wall, damn, his power must be beyond Class D, or even Class C!
Moreover, when Xu Wenxin reached out to stop the lance, her intention was obvious. But Lu Shu had already backhandedly hurled back the lance before she could even react.
That speed… was indeed not of the same class.
The young man who challenged Lu Shu for a fight earlier sighed, “I was too impulsive.”
“Haha, don’t be. Who knew he’s so pro!”
“But thinking about it, he stuffed our Wenxin’s hand with seeds and held his breath to wait for ‘three breaths’. I think he’s quite weird. Plus the prints on his shirt, why do I feel like he’s a joker from head to toe…”
“Haha, geniuses all have unique personalities. Come, let’s resume our training. After the summer holidays, I’m gonna tell my classmates that I met a real pro today! Even the Heavenly King came in person for him!”
The crowd dispersed. Some of them were still discussing softly what assessment it was that Nie Ting had mentioned just now.
Only Xu Wenxin did not leave. Suddenly, she crossed her knees and finished her melon seeds. Her eyes were shining while her thoughts loitered elsewhere. When only two seeds were left, she hesitated and put them in her pocket.
She did not finish them all.
Unexpectedly, she rose and walked to the boxing ring, “Who else dares to fight me? Quickly. Don’t make me wait.”
The others exchanged surprised glances at one another. Didn’t she say one match per day?
…
“Brother Shu, what now?” Chen Zuan followed Lu Shu onto the street. He did not even dare to drive his car outside. All his belongings were put inside the car so that there was no need to be surrendered to people in charge too.
Chen Zuan would probably have cut corners if somebody else, not Nie Ting, had come to pass down the message. But since it was Nie Ting who came, Zuan immediately behaved out of the awe he felt for that name.
Then, Lu Shu stopped to ponder how to earn money in the Capital.
There were actually many ways available. For example, a roadside stall. Even if the police came, they would not be able to catch them anyway. The Daoyuan Class geniuses were all concerned about the Heavenly Network’s possible ban on their use of power, but Lu Shu did not care at all. Without their power, how could they quickly find a way to survive in this city with their bare hands?
Maybe some people really had such abilities. Those big men in the 90’s who had seen the real world, for instance, might have many business talents.
But Daoyuan Class geniuses were talented in cultivation, not business!
And the question was, how could he get his starting funds?
Lu Shu was a serious person at work and he was never a fan of impromptu actions. Focused on the formulation of his plans, he stood still for half an hour straight.
By his side, Chen Zuan was dumbfounded, “Brother Shu, are you thinking about how to make money?”
“If not you think I’m making wishes?”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199!”
Chen Zuan was confused, “How come you know so many lame jokes?”
Lu Shu sighed, with a tinge of sadness crossing his face, “I’ve been out in the world for long, and lame jokes are the lessons I’ve learned.”
Actually, Chen Zuan was crystal clear about his current situation. After all, it was an assessment only for people with Class A aptitude! Thus, its significance to his prospects was apparent.
Chen Zuan had lost his interest in his family matters. If he could really go beyond Class C, or even attain Class B one day, he would not even think twice before leaving his home.
In any case, he had adored his granduncle Chen Baili since he was young. When he was still a kid, he constantly pestered his granduncle to bring him uphill for cultivation, and did not stop until he got a bad thrashing from his mum.
Despite being dragged into this pitiful state, Chen Zuan was actually grateful to Lu Shu for helping him get the opportunity.
He thought, with contradicting emotions, although Lu Shu never failed to bring him bad luck, in the end it would always turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
“Uhm… Brother Shu, you won’t leave me, will you?” Chen Zuan calculated his chances of survival, which were rather slim if he was left on his own.
Lu Shu shot him a glance, “Am I that kind of loser? Rest assured, I won’t starve you.”
But even Lu Shu himself could not be so sure about that. Though he was indeed cunning, the methods he used to adopt to make money were actually nothing fancy, such as selling boiled eggs and fermented tofu.
However, now it was no longer that simple. He knew very well that they were under constant monitoring by Nie Ting and his team, so it would not be very nice to steal. Moreover, besides the ingredients, they had no cooking utensils too.
But Lu Shu got another idea.
“Come. Let’s go and uphold social justice,” Lu Shu was already on the go with Chen Zuan. First thing first, he needed his starting fund.
After thirty minutes, squatting besides a bus station, Chen Zuan suddenly turned to Lu Shu, who was also squatting there, and asked, “So, this is the ‘upholding social justice’ that you talked about?”
Lu Shu’s initial plan was to catch a thief at the bus station. But they had not seen any after so long. Since when was public security in the Capital so good?
As a matter of fact, they had purposely picked the place with the largest volume of commuters. Lu Shu had thought of going on the metro, but then they realized they could not even afford the metro fares.
“Brother Shu!” Chen Zuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, “Over there!”
Following his eyes, Lu Shu saw a man sneakily walk behind a white-collar lady in the crowd, his eyes targeting her bag.
“Here comes the business!” Lu Shu anticipated the theft. As long as he caught the man stealing, Lu Shu could stop him at once and return the stolen items to their owner. After that, he would ask the thief for some money.
Chen Zuan and Lu Shu stood up. The man’s hand was already in the lady’s bag when she was getting on the bus!
However, before they could take action, two middle-aged men suddenly shouted, “Don’t move! We are the police!”
In the next second, the thief was already subdued and lay on the floor, not giving Lu Shu any opportunity. Those were plainclothes policemen!
“Brother Shu… Any more ideas?” Chen Zuan asked, still in shock.
