Chapter 298: Ending of the Remains (Part 1)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lu Shu had already given up contending for the Matrix Eye. This time he had given up completely. Now, other than the fact that one could fly, he knew absolutely nothing about a Class A.
Moreover, looking at Chen Baili’s speed of flying, by the time Lu Shu sprint over, everything would have already been over…
The purpose of life was not to acquire everything we come across, and good fortune does not come by all the time. Lu Shu was already very contented.
“Brother Lu Shu, may I ask? Why did Second Master say our Chen family would have other good fortune when I mentioned my merits? Who is that white man? You fought with him before?” While traversing the forest with Lu Shu and Xiaoyu, he still decided to broach this question.
Lu Shu replied happily, “Don’t worry. Your merit this time is so great that you may even be overwhelmed by it… the guy who was punched to death was a Class B master. He had started out with fighting your Second Great Uncle and was mortally wounded…”
“Wait a moment…” Chen Zuan stopped Lu Shu, “It should be Second Uncle, not Second Great Uncle…”
“Any difference?”
“I always have this feeling that you are scolding me!”
“Oh. After your Second Great Uncle dealt him the heavy blow, I started fighting with him. He was near death when he took flight, before running into you. However, there is no need for you to worry. Since your watch is now mine, I would simply pretend never to have seen him…” Lu Shu said.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199!”
Chen Zuan felt sore for long after that. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, “That was a Class B master?! You fought him till he was near-death?!”
He could not determine now if it was Chen Baili who dealt him such a great blow, or was Lu Shu really so powerful?
Lu Shu only replied calmly, “While fighting the white man master, I was accidentally awakened and is now Class C.”
Chen Zuan almost choked on his breath. What is this “accidental awakening”, and skipping a Class? Between this pair of siblings, are any of them not the devil?
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +399!”
Actually, Lu Shu had his reasons for being so willing to sell out this huge merit. Just like what Chen Baili had said, his credit was already so large that even with more, the reward would not be any more substantial.
Just the one credit of restoring Chen Baili’s foundation and helping him to break through into Class A straight was enough to let the inner circle of the Heavenly Network give the green light on the privilege of granting him the magical stone, weapon and cultivation techniques.
Even though he had only found that one fruit and gave it to Chen Baili, the inner circle of the Heavenly Network rewards according to the outcome and not the process.
To heap upon him the credit of battling a Class B now would only make his achievements glitter just a little more. Hence, to him it would be better to exchange it for more material benefits.
Chen Zuan suddenly thought of a question, “Brother Lu Shu, after you reach Class C, don’t you have to go to the capital to report your progress to Heavenly King Nie Ting? Isn’t it supposed to be done at the peak of Class D?”
Lu Shu only thought of it now. What the heck, there is still progress report such a thing.
The rule laid down by the Heavenly Network at that time was for practitioners to go to the capital to report their progress upon attaining a certain tier. All Class C and above would receive their cultivation techniques from Nie Ting personally so as to ensure good control of the techniques.
Among those who enter the capital for progress report, Lu Shu would not be the first, and surely not the last too. However… even though he had reached the level for progress report, he had no need for the cultivation techniques!
In the eyes of the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu was a contender who only wished for awakening but not practice. Yet, this guy had really relied on simply awakening to reach Class C capabilities. This had become awkward…
However, Lu Shu reckoned that progress report was an inescapable procedure.
The capital…. Lu Shu fell into contemplation.
Chen Zuan was, unlike Lu Shu, not thinking so much. He gave a smirk, “When you come to the capital, remember to let me know! I will then bring you to have a look at our bustling capital!”
He was sincerely hoping to befriend Lu Shu. Such a capable and daring fighter was truly hard to find. Moreover, they were of the same age. Such a capable fighter could surely put up an impressive fight in the capital. To bring Lu Shu around, it would certainly gain him much face.
Furthermore, he knew very well that Lu Shu was regarded highly as a talent by Second Uncle.
Lu Shu was undecided for a very long time. Just as Chen Zuan was suspecting that this guy was not really keen on getting to know him, Lu Shu suddenly asked, “Meals and lodging all provided for free?”
Chen Zuan, “Yes, meals and lodging provided for free.”
“Okay, I will definitely go find you once I reach the capital!” Lu Shu smiled brightly. He had heard that in such a big city, even the express hotels are much more expensive than the ones in Luo Cheng.
How good are you in living life?! When you reach the capital, would the Heavenly Network not provide for your meals and lodging? However, Lu Shu did not know this. He had been used to staying prepared in order to avert any possible peril.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199!”
At this moment, Lu Shu had plunged into deep thoughts. He had actually saw Nie Ting once. Then, Lu Xiaoyu and he were in their own dwelling and had looked out through the curtains and saw Nie Ting. Nie Ting realized that immediately, but did not care much.
However, the fierce aura about Nie Ting was still fresh in Lu Shu’s memory. To be honest, Lu Shu did not want to enter the capital for progress report. He would rather huddle at home with Lu Xiaoyu and catch TV shows and stuff.
Or he could study the Seal of Lands and the likes to see if he could surreptitiously produce a magical farm to farm some chives. If he could just find a black market; demand for this delicacy would surely surpass supply…
Just at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly felt the change in the remains. Magical energy started to churn all of a sudden!
Lu Shu experienced this before, hence he knew very well, the old priest had found the remains.
Everything was suddenly frozen in time, everyone seemed to have been bound by a law. Then, everything shattered into smithereens and surged wildly towards the center of the remains.
In the next moment, the whole world went topsy-turvy and everyone was back at the salt lake, as if the remains never happened. As everyone entered on their own accord this time, they were also distributed randomly upon leaving, unlike the time at Beimang remains whereby they reappeared at their original spot.
Lu Shu had just got out when he heard little fatty Chen Zuan’s voice, “Brother Shu! Brother Shu!”
Lu Shu felt sickened and almost wanted to hide himself.
At this moment, Gao Shenyin had also caught sight of Lu Shu. He was holding three live wild boars by their trotters and came over with them in tow.
Gao Shenyin looked at Lu Shu, “What, you ended up with nothing? Do you need me to give you a wild boar to boost your credit?”
However, it was Chen Zuan who interjected in disdain, “You call this merit? I fear you may die of shock if I reveal my merit. You know nothing about power!”
Gao Shenyin gave him a sidelong glance in contempt. He did not know from where did his confidence come, “What else do you know another than wetting the bed?”
“Scram, scram!”
