Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu didn’t have the time to argue with Ye Lingling. He was pondering over his remaining 8000 distress points. How should he use them? Buy celestial fruits directly? It didn’t seem like there was a need for it now though. His training wasn’t considered slow, so even without the celestial fruit, he was slowly improving.

At this point in time, the two snowmen in the garden had already melted into two stacks of snow. They looked nothing like they did, and Lu Xiaoyu even mentioned that it would be good if there was snow again, so that they could rebuild the two snowmen.

In the darkness of the room, Lu Shu suddenly smiled. He previously had a question. Lu Xiaoyu didn’t have any method of training or ability cultivation, so even if she was given the refresher fruit, there was no way to tell if she has reached the limit of the use of the fruit.

But come to think of it now… There’s no harm in that, it could just be to strengthen her body and improve her health!

“Lu Xiaoyu! Lu Xiaoyu! Wake up!: Lu Shu went over to knock on Lu Xiaoyu’s door…

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +399!”

Lu Xiaoyu opened the door gloomily and silently stared at Lu Shu. Lu Shu took out a refresher fruit and passed it over to Lu Xiaoyu, “Eat it.”

Only then did Lu Xiaoyu’s expression brighten, turning back into her room after receiving the refresher fruit.

Not long after, Lu Shu knocked on her door again, and Lu Xiaoyu annoyingly exclaimed, “Lu Shu, are you doing this on purpose? Why can’t you give me everything in one shot? What do you want!”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +666!”

“Hahahaha,” Lu Shu handed the remaining 7 refresher fruits over to Lu Xiaoyu, and then trudged to the kitchen to cook eggs.

Now he only had a little over 1000 distress points left, but he was still feeling good.

However, he can’t keep gaining distress points from Lu Xiaoyu like that, as she will soon retaliate in some way.

Having given Lu Xiaoyu 8 refresher fruits, he estimated that it was more than enough for her. If he could devise some method for her to train in future, he could continue researching with Lu Xiaoyu if she should eat more refresher fruits.

Having eaten the refresher fruit, Lu Shu felt and looked different. In the past, he would only feel healthier after eating, but eating to the limit this time, even the birthmarks on his body had disappeared, and his skin and complexion had also improved.

Looking directly at him in the mirror was what seemed like a reborn teenager.

This feeling was great, who didn’t wish to look better?

And after Lu Xiaoyu ate the refresher fruits and washed up, Lu Shu was stunned. Lu Xiaoyu seemed much more refined than before, and it felt like they were advancing towards breaking the physical limits of humanity.

Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu, and Lu Xiaoyu stared back. She didn’t know where these fruits came from, but she understood that they definitely didn’t come easily.

Most people would keep the good stuff for themselves, but Lu Shu gave her so much at once.

“What is this?” Lu Xiaoyu asked calmly.

“It should be considered as something which improves your aptitude for abilities. In future, if you could train and cultivate skills, you would understand its use,” Lu Shu explained.

Aptitude for abilities…

Lu Xiaoyu walked to the dining table and waited while Lu Shu cooked. Currently, there was a huge commotion outside. Not just over the awakening of metahumans, but over training as well. Many people already went to temples and monasteries to look for masters, but not many succeeded.

Some of these places were originally meant for tourists, but now they have shut their doors to visitors.

How much aptitude is needed? Even if she didn’t train, Lu Xiaoyu wanted to know.

She suddenly said, “Actually there’s no need to make me eat them in a rush. I have yet to start training anyway.”

“It’s okay,” Lu Shu said, “Having eaten this, you wouldn’t fall sick in future. It’s a good thing as well.”

“Mm,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head.

She didn’t say words of gratitude directly, but she will remember all these acts of kindness and remember this person well.

At this time, Lu Shu brought the food over, “Where’s the work you were doing yesterday? Bring it over to let me check. Don’t think that you can relax after the new year. What if you can’t keep up with the academic workload in school when you’re admitted to school at 16 years old? Even if you can become a metahuman, you still have to learn. It’s not to let you learn math or governance for you to use them, but to build up your logical and thinking skills. There’s a difference between being a civilized person and one who is not.”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +67…”

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly felt that this person was not good at all! She unwillingly went back to her room to retrieve her book for Lu Shu. She had yet to complete the work assigned to her by Lu Shu…

Lu Shu didn’t think that grades and results mattered much, but the process of learning was essential.

This morning, Lu Shu didn’t let Lu Xiaoyu follow him to sell eggs, and instead wanted her to self-study. He will be back at night to explain to her whatever she didn’t understand.

Lu Xiaoyu could be considered as an unregistered resident. She wouldn’t have her own account until she was 16. Even if she wanted to go to school, Lu Shu didn’t have the ability to send her, and they didn’t have the money as well.

Thinking of this, Lu Shu felt that he should think of ways to earn more money using his special gift. Lu Xiaoyu staying at home, not learning anything or interacting with people made him feel slightly depressed.

But Lu Xiaoyu, was similar to him, in the way that she was also rather eccentric. Going to school didn’t mean she might make friends.

The difference between them was that Lu Shu liked being alone and he felt that interacting with people was exhausting. As for Lu Xiaoyu, she felt that people of her age were too stupid and immature….

When Lu Shu closed his shop to report to school, it was already late. He dragged his stuff to school, and once he entered the class, he noticed that Liu Li was no longer as excited and lively towards him, probably because he had given up on him.

He just wasn’t used to others being so warm without reason. Why were people so hypocritical, as they all had a reason for being nice to someone.

Everyone was surprised to see Lu Shu bring the small pan and the stool into class with him. They didn’t expect Lu Shu to wake up to sell eggs even after being selected for the Daoyuan class.

Perhaps the poorest metahuman had given up and accepted his position as a reserve?

To everyone else in Daoyuan class, he was just a reserve metahuman.

Lu Shu was initially admired by other people, but now those admirations have slowly cooled down; there was nothing much to admire about a person cooking eggs anyway…

Regardless, Lu Shu was always different in the eyes of other students.
