Chapter 324 - What Happened to the Distress Points?
For the entire journey, there was no conversation between Lu Shu and Cao Qingci, as though they were two strangers whose seats were adjacent by chance.
Lu Shu would become very focused once he concentrated on learning, even if it was Japanese which he would use together with the head-twisting gourd for name revelation purposes in the future.
Some students were even better. They sat in front of their desks but actually taking in nothing. When they were done, they packed up their learning materials so seriously as if they had just finished a news broadcast…
As soon as Lu Shu alighted from the bus, he saw Zhong Yutang already waiting at the platform. Behind him, there were four students with swords in their hands, looking like Class A geniuses too.
Lu Shu had met most of them outside the Beimang remains and he knew they were all native geniuses from Yuzhou. He could still recall that previously, one of the girls had no makeup at all, but now she was wearing thick gold-color eye shadow and a pretty blush, looking like Monkey King!
Lu Shu was frustrated… Wouldn’t the Heavenly Network please do something about it?
That same girl was wearing simple outfit last time, but now even her backpack was branded.
Likely she had been recruited by some family. Now that she’s rich, she could easily show off, Lu Shu thought.
Although he did not entertain the idea, it was none of his business. After all, every one could make their own decisions.
Actually, the girl was studying his blue hair too while he was examining her makeup… Despite the fact that much of the color had already faded and black hair emerged visible again, the light blue in his hair was so obvious as though it was glowing…
They two were pretty much the same.
“Long time no see,” Lu Shu greeted Zhong Yutang casually. He was well disposed towards this Chief Manager of Yuzhou Heavenly Network for his work attitude. If not for the burden, Li Yixiao, Lu Shu thought that Zhong Yutang could have done even better…
“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +66…”
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment-how come you felt distressed the second you saw my face?! This was so wrong!
Speaking of which, Zhong Yutang must have been nearing the peak of Class C the last time they met half a year ago for him to do his job well as the Chief Manager of Yuzhou. Then why hadn’t him ascended yet? Was it really so difficult to upgrade from Class C to B?
However, when Lu Shu studied him closely, he sensed the weakening in Zhong Yutang’s waves of Spirit Qi. Lu Shu was shocked. Could it be that his cultivation abilities had regressed due to overwork?
It couldn’t be. Lu Shu suddenly felt that something was not right. Instead of weaker, Zhong Yutang’s waves were actually more condensed, which gave the illusion that Lu Shu felt previously.
Eh, this was a bit weird.
Zhong Yutang started the introduction, “All of you are Yuzhou Class A aptitude geniuses. This time, you will be reporting your progress to the capital. Hence, I hope that the six of you can work together and do not cause any trouble. Since there’s still a few minutes before the train arrival, you can introduce yourselves.”
After that, Zhong Yutang stepped aside to make a phone call to some unknown person, leaving behind the six people talking awkwardly at the platform.
A thought suddenly struck Lu Shu-was it really okay for such a big group of Class A aptitude geniuses to gather on the same train? After all, the Beijing-Guangzhou line was a densely populated area. It was possible that half of the Class A aptitude geniuses from the entire country were clustered on this railway line.
If something happened to this train full of geniuses, the competence of the Heavenly Network might experience an awkward gap in the future.
To the Heavenly Network, it was highly likely that geniuses of Class A aptitude were one of their most important resources.
After self-introduction, Lu Shu learned that the makeup girl was He Xie and the other girl was Liu Xueruo. The two boys were Wang Li and Qiu Qiao, who was very tanned.
Lu Shu was amused upon his first sight of Qiu Qiao… Louis Koo, was that you Louis Koo?
Despite their dissimilar appearance, they were equally dark…
Judging from then, Yuzhou’s Class A aptitude geniuses consisted of three girls and two boys, excluding Lu Shu. Just a while ago, there was discussion on the Golden Foundation Forum about whether boys had a better chance at cultivation, which was contrary to the actual observation now.
But of course, one could not make a sweeping statement solely based on the five people from one single state.
Zhong Yutang hung up the call when he saw a train arriving from afar, “Still, please be reminded that you are representing the honor of the entire Yuzhou. Thus, you are expected to be in your optimal state all the time. Also, although Lu Shu’s aptitude is only at the lowest level, I hope you can still feel free to approach him for help whenever necessary. I can’t go further about that.”
Lu Shu was unhappy. What did he mean by he couldn’t go further about that? Wasn’t he intent on mocking him by only mentioning his aptitude but not his abilities?
But before Lu Shu could protest, Zhong Yutang pulled him aside, “The superiors have said, your abilities and military ranking are confidential.”
Why on earth must he hide it since he awakened to his powers by himself… Could it be the Heavenly Network had some special arrangement for him?!
Moreover, Lu Shu was a little confused. Why did everyone keep referring to them as the representatives of Yuzhou? Were they going to compete against students from other states or what? They must be joking!
Zhong Yutang arranged them to board the No. 12 carriage once the train arrived and everyone started looking for their own bed according to their tickets in the soft sleeper carriage.
Immediately, Lu Shu noticed that it was as if his ticket number was purposely separated from the rest of Yuzhou students-they were at the head while he almost the rear…
Not sure whether it was Zhong Yutang’s plan, Lu Shu was on the brink of frustration. He would never believe it if Zhong Yutang denied any awareness of it.
Based on the fact that there were already a number of students in the carriage, it seemed that the entire soft sleeper section had been booked by the Heavenly Network. When Lu Shu made his way along the long aisle, he received several curious stares from students in other compartments. They were all aware that this carriage was full of teenage geniuses just like themselves.
When Lu Shu found his own bed, he was about to jump. Other people’s compartments all had at least four people, but why his was totally empty?!
Why? Worried that I might disturb their cultivation?! Lu Shu almost flipped his table.
What happened to the distress points?!
Could it be another arrangement from the Heavenly Network…?
Sitting in his compartment alone, Lu Shu was in deep thought for ten minutes. Damn the arrangement! Apparently those people did not want him to distract those geniuses from their cultivation!
Did someone report him? Lu Shu went back to deep thought again…
At that moment, the train had started moving. A student of a tiny build appeared at his door, “Eh, are you the only one in this compartment? Glad to meet you, I am Yi Ran.”
