Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 349: Chapter 348 Lowering Flags and Silencing Drums [Second Update]

Seeing Lu Xiaobu posted on Weibo, his supporters suddenly found their backbone!

”The trolls are here, and our Young Master Bu never dodges a battle!”

”That’s right, let them see what true positive energy is!”

”Don’t think you can show off here just because you learned the phrase ’failure is the mother of success’!”

”Young Master Bu said, let you guys know what real positive energy is!”

”...”

They’ve found their backbone, and those brainless idiots immediately went to find their own!

That guy who publicly gave a speech scolding Lu Xiaobu!

His name is Zhu Zhixi.

His credentials are pretty intimidating, mentioning Harvard University, Department of Philosophy graduate, and a double PhD from Cambridge University.

Plus, he’s listed as a guest professor at some big university, with a lengthy bio that makes your head spin.

I won’t go into details, and won’t chase after whether it’s true or false.

Basically, in one sentence, this guy is impressive, at least he appears that way.

This is also one of the reasons many people follow his lead!

Zhu Zhixi seeing Lu Xiaobu ”bubble up”, didn’t avoid it but chose to confront him head-on.

But, the tone he used made people uncomfortable.

”Knowing your mistakes and correcting them is true goodness. Young people, it’s better to promote real positive energy. But remember, positive energy is not just grandiose nonsense; it needs depth and implications!”

Look at how he said it, all high and mighty, acting like he’s lecturing the younger generation!

Constantly calling him a young man, emphasizing depth.

Translated into plain words it goes like this — Kid, don’t overestimate yourself; I’ve consumed more salt than you have eaten rice!

Zhu Zhixi posted this on Weibo and smirked.

Yes, the above translation is exactly what he meant!

He’s not bluffing; he prepared for this for a long time, studying and analyzing famous quotes from ancient and modern times.

As long as Lu Xiaobu dares to say any of them, he can rebut them and express better and more correct statements.

That’s his confidence.

Hearing Zhu Zhixi’s Weibo.

His brainless supporters also got tough.

”Did you hear that, Lu Xiaobu? That’s what a real educator says, learn a thing or two!”

”Teacher Zhu is also for your own good, don’t fight over your ability!”

”You should listen more to Teacher Zhu’s lectures! You’re a student too, why cause trouble for yourself?”

”...”

Zhu Zhixi’s side, everyone looked down on Lu Xiaobu, even waiting for him to embarrass himself regarding his positive energy.

But Lu Xiaobu’s side did not retaliate much.

Honest to say, they were also somewhat lacking confidence in Lu Xiaobu.

Although Young Master Bu often creates miracles, he has never been known to talk about literary stuff.

After all, Young Master Bu’s best skill is cursing people, and suddenly he’s supposed to educate people.

They really are lacking confidence!

However, just when everyone doubted him.

Lu Xiaobu’s first statement of positive energy came out.

”In the journey of life, there is one path that everyone must take, and that is the detour of youth. Without falling down, hitting the walls, experiencing some head-breaking and blood-shedding, how can one develop an iron frame, and how can one grow?”

This was something the system found for Lu Xiaobu on Earth, it doesn’t exist here!

Profound in meaning.

When this was said!

Instantly, the noisy internet fell into a short silence.

Everyone was savoring this sentence carefully.

Then.

The internet burst into applause!

”Great! This statement truly has strength!”

”Yes, it looks simple and straightforward, but it’s full of power!”

”All the elders like to share their experiences with young people, but if young people just follow the instructions step by step, are they still young?”

”Young people need to have the drive, the audacity, not afraid of taking detours, even if it means head-breaking and blood-shedding. What we gain is growth!”

”Just like Lu Xiaobu said before, those toxic motivational quotes, poisonous? Severely! But if you withstand them and get through, what you gain will be a strong heart, unbreakable and indestructible by others!”

”Who says Lu Xiaobu can’t be positively energetic, come out!”

”Yeah! Just this one sentence is worth more than the hundreds of times you guys repeat ’failure is the mother of success’!”

”Zhu Zhixi, come out and talk!”

”...”

However, Zhu Zhixi’s Weibo remained silent!

Talk?!

He won’t say shit!

He has never heard such a phrase!

How can he offer advice on something he has never heard?

If he advises wrongly, wouldn’t that be like lifting a rock to crush his own feet?

At last, all he could do was post a Weibo: ”Worthy of praise, youth is to be feared!”

Still that lofty tone, expressing admiration towards Lu Xiaobu as a senior!

This kind of swollen-faced pretending and the condescending tone of schooling others made people very uncomfortable!

Seeing that Zhu Zhixi had posted on Weibo.

Those from Zhu Zhixi’s camp immediately followed suit.

”Not bad, it seems Lu Xiaobu isn’t entirely ignorant! At least that’s something!”

”Young people should be like this, although not comparable to Teacher Zhu, but at least there are some correct ideas!”

”Worthy of praise, being praised by Teacher Zhu, Lu Xiaobu you must be excited!”

”...”

These words infuriated those who supported Lu Xiaobu!

”If you can’t speak, then don’t pretend to be a know-it-all!”

”Teaching Young Master Bu?! What right do you have?!”

”All of you posing here? And Young Master Bu excited? Excited my ass!”

”A bunch of imbeciles!”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu was also amused by the anger.

Not bad!

Still pretending?

Pretend well, are you acting as my teacher?!

Well, you better sit tight, be careful not to be kicked off by me!

The system continued to send Xiaobu positive energies about youth.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaobu’s Weibo exploded.

”Youth is the time for cultivating habits, hopes, and beliefs!”

This is said by Ruskin on Earth.

The netizens were slightly stunned upon seeing this deep and meaningful statement.

Not bad!

”What you plant in youth, you will harvest in old age.”

This was said by Ibsen on Earth.

Netizens swallowed hard.

No way, they hadn’t heard it at all!

Could these incredibly heart-stirring phrases all be written by Lu Xiaobu himself?!

Does Lu Xiaobu really have such high literary standards?!

”Young people! For the sake of future memories, carefully outline the picture of your present.”

This was said by Bing Xin.

Netizens’ mouths twitched, there’s more!?

Wait, besides being a negative energy vending machine, are you also a positive energy printer?!

”Youth can first turn the Heavenly Dynasty into a vocal one: speak boldly, act bravely, forget all consequences, and express your true feelings by pushing aside the ancients!”

This was said by Lu Xun.

”Pfft!”

All the netizens spit out a mouthful of old blood!

They were convinced!

They had nothing to say; any of these phrases were worth a hundred times more than the phrase ’failure is the mother of success.’

There’s so much said already!

They simply have no right to critique or comment!

They could only look up to their Teacher Zhu!

However, could their Teacher Zhu even comment adequately?!
