Spare Me, Great Lord!

The first crime by metahumans which shocked the entire country had happened, and more might be on the way. These three people were still on the run. According to some news, when the men of the Heavenly Network arrived, the three people had already retreated to the forests, as though they were extremely familiar with the escape route.

Based on Lu Shu’s judgment, only six to seven black coats were involved in this incident. For some reason, Lu Shu always felt that Luo Cheng had been prioritized by the heavenly network since the start of the era of the metahumans. There were far more black coats in Luo Cheng compared to other places, and this was information Lu Shu found from his time lurking on forums on the Golden Foundation.

In many cities, some Daoyuan classes were huge. So huge that there were more than 200 students in a class.

Luo Cheng, on the other hand, had only 50 people per class. This also showed that the heavenly network’s presence in Luo Cheng was much more prominent.

Why? Luo Cheng might have been an ancient capital, but it did not have any political importance now.

Lu Shu felt something was not right.

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Shu wished that these 3 offenders were caught and apprehended. Once society stabilized, normal people would be happy and at ease. Who could have peace if such criminals were on the loose?

At least if there really was chaos one day, Lu Shu did not have to worry about Lu Xiaoyu’s safety as she already had methods for self-defense.

Lu Shu wasn’t particularly ambitious and he just longed to live freely. He did not want to see the world in chaos even if it could benefit him.

Lu Xiaoyu was still moody as she went to do her work after having her meal. Lu Shu was helpless. Based on Lu Xiaoyu’s personality, her mood would not improve until she sees the first plate of tomato egg.

Li Xianyi was curious as to why Lu Xiaoyu was angry, “Xiaoyu, why do you look so angry?”

Lu Xiaoyu kept quiet and did not speak a word. Her mood was extremely bad and she felt like taking it out on someone. But Lu Shu just reminded her yesterday not to anger Li Xianyi.

To Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, at least the kindness Li Xianyi was showing them did not involve any complications. Even when Lu Shu rejected his conditions, Li Xianyi was still willing to treat them compassionately.

Li Xianyi treated Lu Xiaoyu very well too. Be it buying food for her or helping her with work. Aunty Liu had told Lu Shu the old man was learning primary school math. Once he masters it he will teach and guide Lu Xiaoyu…

Such a good man, it wouldn’t be nice to get distress points from him.

Lu Shu thought about giving the old man a refresher fruit to improve his body. After all, the refresher fruit really was a mysterious fruit which worked wonders.

But how could he explain the origins of the fruit?

So Lu Shu did not do it. The refresher fruit was, apart from the celestial map, probably his biggest secret, and one which he could not afford to reveal.

Hearing Lu Shu’s words, Lu Xiaoyu was reflecting too. So even if she was very angry now, she did not take it out on the old man. Instead, she apologized and offered a potato chip.

Li Xianyi was moved by Lu Xiaoyu’s actions. Although Lu Xiaoyu angered him a lot, Li Xianyi felt that the action of offering a potato chip by Lu Xiaoyu was forgivable. Be it Lu Xiaoyu or Lu Shu, both of them were good kids in the eyes of Li Xianyi.

Just then, after struggling with herself for some time, Lu Xiaoyu broke the potato chip into half. She handed Li Xianyi one half… I’ve already apologized, one half would do!

Lu Shu had just packed his stinky tofu and was about to set off for work when a new line of distress points came in…

Ahh, good luck old man.

As he walked past their yard, aunty Liu was hanging the laundry and Lu Shu smiled, “Aunty, do brew more tea for grandpa! It can help him relax and cool his body.”

Li Xianyi, who was by the side, did not feel like it was extremely apt. Why did he feel like he was gloating?

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +17…”

…

After setting up his shop in the morning, Lu Shu saw a small police car driving towards him. Two policemen alighted and looked at him, “Are you the one selling stinky tofu here? Someone has reported to us about you.”

Lu Shu’s face turned green, “What is there to report about?”

In this day and age, everything was an affair of the police. The police are far more dedicated now, as could be seen from this.

A fly appearing in your meal in a restaurant could involve the police. Public brawls involved the police. To summarize, everything which was true could be reported to the police.

One of them smiled slightly, “Someone called us to report that even after you have finished selling, you still stay here to act. People are reporting that you are cheating their feelings!”

Oh, Lu Shu was annoyed. Who was so free to report over such a minor incident? I just want to earn some distress points, why call the police?

The other policeman continued, “It’s okay, don’t worry. We were just kidding! No one called the police. We’re actually here to buy stinky tofu from you.”

Lu Shu was relieved. As long as there was no trouble, anything was fine. Even if they really were looking for trouble, it was such a small matter… His identity as a student of Daoyuan class would probably be enough to protect him.

However, it seemed like his act to earn some distress points was getting infamous. Would this affect his business?

Lu Shu received the money from the two policemen and handed them two portions of stinky tofu. After pondering for a long time, Lu Shu decided to use a new method!

As the tofu was selling out, Lu Shu put the last piece out on display. Its pungent odor spread to as far as tens of meters, and distress points were amassed that way.

At this moment, someone noticed the stinky tofu and walked over. As he walked over, he was thinking. At least this little boss was not acting today, he’s even displaying his tofu.

“Boss, one portion please,” The man said as he withdrew 5 dollars from his wallet.

Lu Shu laughed unreservedly, “Not selling, I have none left.”

The customer was confused, “Isn’t there one right here?”

“This is a sample.”

“Since when did stinky tofu need a sample to sell?”

Do you think you’re selling phones?

From Li Teng’s distress, +117…”

Lu Shu had planned it all. Even if no one came to ask him about it next time, as long as one portion was there spreading its scent, he would gain distress points. Only after earning 5000 distress points, would he leave!

He was this stubborn!

After some time, the two policemen came back and said to Lu Shu with confused faces, “This time someone really reported to us about you…”

This time, Lu Shu showed his pass from Daoyuan class and the two policemen were dazed. A few days ago, they were informed that anything related to Daoyuan class students were to be handed over and handled by Luo Cheng international school, and the person’s contact number, 139…

Hand it over? And the reason for Lu Shu’s crime was cheating the feelings of others by selling tofu? No way!
