In fact, heroes like Zhao Yongchen were not few in number. Many of them had had their foundation harmed in exchange for the greater benefit of their organization. Then, they would be honored and respected. Lu Shu admired them too because it was unimaginably difficult to be willing to put one's own life at risk for a selfless cause.
In any case, however, the reality was cruel as Zhao Yongchen could no longer ascend beyond Class C.
Currently, most organizations had developed far enough since the start of the magical era decades ago and many of them would soon witness a boom of powerful individuals. Members who had one or two years of cultivation experience would be able to reach Class C or even higher levels in the near future.
This was not just a possibility, but more of a certainty.
As a result, Class C's would no longer be as precious as before. Even the little fatty Chen Zuan was about to become a Class B.
To the rest, cultivation was synonymous with an abundance of opportunities, as long as they were still alive.
But to people like Zhao Yongchen, there was no more hope for them. They could only watch as their comrades became stronger over time.
In other words, they had no future.
Lu Shu pondered about how to help them overcome that, although the solution was rather simple for him – the refresher fruits. However, the question was, how to do it without exposing this secret of his?
Would he be willing to offer his refresher fruits if Liu Xiu were still alive? Probably yes, as Liu Xiu had saved his life. Without Liu Xiu, Lu Shu would probably have died back then.
Nonetheless, Liu Xiu was a special case as he was the only one who had saved Lu Shu. Yet... Lu Shu still hoped that he could help the others.
Zhao Yongchen had no idea what Lu Shu was thinking about. Suddenly, he asked, "Lu Shu, will you be interested in running a mini mart with me? It may get rejected by Zhong Yutang if I propose it by myself. But with you, he'll probably nod his head. Don't underestimate the potential profits that can be earned as a mini mart owner. Let me explain... Hey! Don't walk away from me!"
Lu Shu went home. He was slightly annoyed. After the farce caused by Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao, he had been approached by Zhao Yongchen for some mini mart business plan!
Based on Zhao Yongchen's personality, it would be impossible if he was not planning to sell fake products! Honestly speaking, though, Lu Shu had indeed entertained the possibility, but then he realized that even he would not be able to persuade Zhong Yutang.
Or rather... Zhong Yutang would probably send You Mingyu to find trouble with Lu Shu again.
On the same day, competing teams from other Cultivation Colleges had arrived in Luo Shen Cultivation College one after the other. Luo Shen Cultivation College had been selected to be the hosting campus because of its central location in the country which made traveling easier for the candidates from various colleges.
As Lu Shu was standing along the corridor outside the lab, he saw a group of people passing beneath him. Lu Shu had never seen them before.
By now, almost every student at Luo Shen Cultivation College had attended Lu Shu's lessons. Thus, the fact that Lu Shu found them unfamiliar meant that they were from other schools.
The leader was a young man. As though having sensed that Lu Shu was looking at him, he looked up and stared right into Lu Shu's eyes. Judging from his face under his cap, the man should be around 21 to 25 years old.
To Lu Shu's consternation, the man had a set of earphones around his neck and a keyboard in his hands. He looked more like a professional e-sports player.
Nevertheless, his energy waves were close to the peak of Class B!
The young man smiled at Lu Shu. His look was as warm as a friendly boy next door. After a short pause, Lu Shu said, "You forgot to zip your pants."
"From Feng Yeming's distress, +88!"
Lu Shu drew a startled breath. So this was the Feng Yeming that everybody talked about? But he did not look anything close to a Heavenly King in this kind of attire! He was more like a gamer boy! This was pretty scary, actually. If Lu Shu had managed to guess his age correctly, that would mean that Feng Yeming had probably become a Heavenly King in his early 20s, or even earlier.
No wonder Chen Baili had once told him that Feng Yeming was not fond of violence, as it was probably because he was too busy with gaming! As the team leader, Feng Yeming looked more fashionable than his team members in his bright yellow hoodie and sweatpants. Even his keyboard was hot pink.
Lu Shu was confused. Why was he here, since he was not from Luzhou Cultivation College?
In fact, Lu Shu was the reason. On the Cultivation College forums, many stories had over-exaggerated how cruel Lord Lu was. Thus, when Feng Yeming was busy playing his game, the principal of Luzhou Cultivation College suddenly paid him a visit in person and requested him to follow the students, just in case Lord Lu would inflict harm on them as well.
Moreover, the situation was the same for many other Colleges too... Actually, the principals of most of the colleges were very familiar with Lu Shu's personality as they were key members in the Heavenly Network.
Lu Shu continued looking at Feng Yeming, but the latter dismissed his joke with a wave and left with his team. In fact, Lu Shu was rather amused to learn that one of the Heavenly Kings was a gamer boy...
Could he be a pro in e-sports? In the past, Lu Shu had played one round of a shooting game at an internet cafe in the Capital and he was the Champion of the entire server.
Suddenly, feelings of admiration welled up in Lu Shu's heart. Even though he was a Heavenly King, Feng Yeming could still be himself and play his games, and Nie Ting had never forced him to go overseas. So why was Nie Ting so pushy about Lu Shu?
At this moment, Lu Shu's phone rang. He picked it up and heard You Mingyu ask, "Well, which team are we sending for the competition, Lu Shu?"
"The Species Research Specialization, of course, " replied Lu Shu, "Do you have any objections?"
"Yes, I do. Violent objections, " said You Mingyu.
Lu Shu paused for a long moment... Ha, no choice then. He replied in a firm voice, "It has to be the Species Research Specialization. Else, I'm not joining."
This was a perfect chance for gaining distress points! Even if he was not joining, Lu Xiaoyu could help him do the same job as well!
"You said it yourself..." You Mingyu emphasized, though he was slightly disappointed for not being able to piss off Lu Shu. But jokes aside, all the colleges were worrying about Lu Shu's decision at the moment...
Perhaps, only Lu Shu could make the entire system of colleges so concerned...
