As the train started, the vendors maintained order while pushing carts to sell train lunches for two hundred yuan each.
Every now and then, soone would open their own lunchbox and begin eating roughly on the train.
For a mont, the scents of various food spices, the oil and sweat from miners who had just co down, and the powdery perfu from won mixed together, spreading throughout the carriage in a sll not too pungent but not pleasant either.
Though not pleasant, it had a sense of life.
Xu Shu didn’t mind.
Because only in such an environnt, after several consecutive days of life-and-death battles, could he feel that the place he lived was not just a chaotic battlefield but a true human world.
This human world, of course, needed vitality.
He sat down comfortably, adjusting to a relaxed and secluded posture, silently unfolding a small square the size of a spectacle lens in front of his eyes to browse through.
Throughout the day, he had accumulated thousands upon thousands of friend requests indicated by red dots.
The ssages were so many they had folded, showing only a simple, abbreviated header ssage: [Notice: You received a ssage from...]
"Indeed, after reaching the third tier, my popularity has increased trendously! This scene almost rivals the situation when I made statents as ’Tai Chu’ with explosive news."
"But thinking about it, after becoming a Human List Expert, in other people’s eyes, I beca soone they could try to cling to, naturally more popular than when I was in the first tier or second tier."
"In this bustling world, everyone seeks benefits, which is entirely understandable. Haha~"
While shaking his head and laughing, Xu Shu realized his mindset had shifted too, no longer feeling smug because many people added him, instead feeling detached, calm, and uninterested.
This is the natural change of mind that cos with an altered status and strength.
He casually ’emptied with one click,’ then opened the private chat channel to view several ssages from friends.
Riches don’t erase the past; Xu Shu was quite patient with friends made during his weaker tis.
"Congratulations, Director Xu, for advancing rapidly." — Tang Ying, Second Order Assassin.
It was her; so long hadn’t seen her, thought she had t an unfortunate fate, haha... Xu Shu’s mind imdiately recalled those two idiots in ’uniform temptation’ back then.
"Congratulations to you too~"
For so reason, seeing these congratulations, Xu Shu always felt an illusion like graduating for several years, getting married first, receiving blessings from forr classmates.
Of course, ssages from old friends who survived the catastrophe always made people feel more nostalgic.
He replied: "Yingying, how have you been?"
Tang Ying said: "Father respected the wishes of most family mbers, rooted in D8B4 District, joined the Hunter Association here.
"The main families of Song and Wei also ca over here, but the local situation is more complicated than back ho, with more people, making it much harder to truly gain a foothold; our three families were severely hit, so we’ve temporarily united to advance and retreat together, I can’t relax easily."
"Stay strong, surviving ans everything will get better." Xu Shu encouraged.
"Mm-hmm, thank you, Director Xu." Tang Ying replied.
Why does she seem more obedient, quieter... Xu Shu saw from her words a trace of resentnt towards ’the King of Competition,’ making him laugh silently.
He rembered Tang Ying used to love achieving rits.
Now given the chance to actually create achievents, why doesn’t she have the sa drive as before?
Ah, indeed, it’s like the tale of ’Ye Gong loves the dragon.’
But after all, DB84 is a Second-class Safe Zone, how can D8B3, a third-tier small town, compare, and this district seems to be at a critical point of downgrading right now? Competing a bit is normal... uh, wait.
D8B4, isn’t that where Teacher Pan and my aunt went?
As Xu Shu’s thoughts raced, his eyes lit up.
He deleted the reassuring ssage to his forr subordinate and asked: "By the way, the Gu family also moved over there, have you seen them?"
Tang Ying quickly replied: "I’ve heard about it, but haven’t seen the Gu family yet, they haven’t joined the local Hunter Association.
"However, the Wei Family Head specifically ca to find , asking about your situation, seeming like he wants to continue following you, but couldn’t reach you; should I pass the ssage for you?"
Hmm, the Wei family?
I was only their boss for a re two days, and for no reason, so loyal to ?
Is it admiration for the strong?
That doesn’t seem right; judging by Tang Ying’s words, the Wei family asked her about so ti ago.
At that ti, I hadn’t ascended to the Human List, and they probably didn’t know I reached the third tier, right?
Strange...
Xu Shu’s expression froze, past mories surged, trying to think about the reasons.
But felt awkward.
Because he found his mories of the Wei family pathetically scant.
The only thing rembered was that back when he served as a High-level Prosecutor in the Judgent Departnt, over 90% of his subordinates were from the Wei family?
Who would rember such trivial matters without thinking carefully...
Xu Shu shook his head, deciding not to dwell further, replying: "There’s no need to pass it for now. Keep an eye out for ; if you see mbers of the Gu family over there, especially anyone nad Gu Pan or Gu Yue Ming, inform ."
"Understood, I’ll notify you promptly if I find them." Tang Ying agreed.
