Chapter 57: Liu Li’s Ambitions
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
After selling his stinky tofu, Lu Shu headed to school. When he arrived, classes were already starting and he noticed a sense of excitent in the atmosphere. Instead of the usual unmotivated looks, everyone was busy discussing sothing.
Lu Shu thought that he must have missed sothing important.
He asked his deskie Jiang Shuyi, who was reading a book, “What are they talking about?”
Jiang Shuyi silently took out his phone and showed Lu Shu a video.
The video was a comrcial by a leading overseas sports brand. In the video, there were 11 people playing a ga of soccer and all of them seed to have so kind of special ability, playing the ga with all kinds of beautiful techniques.
This leading overseas sports brand had hired 11 tahumans to appear in their comrcial!
The comrcials ended with the words- ‘nothing is impossible’.
Oh my god. Lu Shu was stunned. He had been too caught up with discussing training thods with Lu Xiaoyu the previous night followed by his routine night training and in the morning, he was outside selling stinky tofu. He had no ti at all to surf the internet and who knew such an incident would happen.
The content and the last words of this comrcial only emphasized one point. That’s right, with the appearance of tahumans, nothing was impossible anymore.
While the local situation was still conservative, foreigners had already started using tahumans as part of comrcials!
He returned Jiang Shuyi his phone, took out his own and started surfing online forums. Indeed, everyone was talking about the comrcial.
In fact, there was another similar basketball comrcial but it wasn’t as exaggerated as this which explained why it wasn’t as hot a topic for discussion.
In that comrcial, a strength type tahuman was featured leaping from the middle line of the court and dunking.
The scene was absolutely ridiculous. Previously, no one could have ever thought such a feat was possible but now, tahumans could.
Lu Shu had a sudden realization that those two comrcials represented the way tahumans could be absorbed into society- their comrcial value.
It was proven that foreigners were better at making use of the comrcial value of tahumans. Striking while tahumans was a hot topic worldwide, they allowed these attention-seeking tahumans to be the center of attention.
In the forums, everyone was coming up with crazy ideas such as whether the NBA this year would be dominated by tahumans!
And from now on, the Olympics will be a stage for tahumans too!
There were so truths in this. Based on Lu Shu’s enhanced body, even if the Olympic gold dalist was twice as good, he would still run slower than him.
In badminton, if a normal being faced off with a tahuman, there was no doubt that the awaken would wipe the floor with his opponent.
The appearance of tahumans might not incur a war after all.
But Lu Shu was thinking about sothing else. Every country had around 100 thousand tahumans and was it possible for all of them to be satisfied with earning money this way?
Probably not. Not everyone was so peace loving!
Based on this point, Lu Shu was leaning towards the thods of the black coats to prioritize the country’s stability and safety instead of riches and prosperity.
So also said in the forums that large companies overseas were trying to get their hands on the limited number of tahumans by offering a very attractive price. Even if they had no plans for them yet, the companies just wanted to recruit them first.
This was never going to happen locally. Be it tahumans or the trainees, they were all under the control of the black coats.
But soone did ntion that in their Daoyuan class, there were cases of big companies recruiting the tahuman trainees. So class A aptitude student had leaked his abilities and was offered an attractive deal by a big company. As of now, the Daoyuan class’ confidentiality regulations only prohibited the sharing of contents taught in class but did not ntion anything against sharing about your own powers as well as having any form of employer-employee relationships!
Not only class A aptitude trainees were targeted. From class A to F, those big companies did not seem to discriminate and so were recruited as spokesn while others, as bodyguards.
Amongst the tahumans, a special kind had appeared. This kind of tahumans had enhanced brain powers and was just as good as a calculator. All kinds of big companies deed them as a must-obtained resource but they were very rare.
This feeling was just like when the internet first started becoming popular and it was the main topic of almost all conversations. Everyone wanted to experience using the internet…
Now it was the tahumans’ era. It seed like the norm for every company to have at least 1 or 2 tahumans with them.
Lu Shu did not understand one point. Even though the governnt had beco more humane and lenient when dealing with societal issues, why would they let tahumans, this kind of valuable resources, be taken away from under their nose?
Anyways, Lu Shu was not interested in being in the lilight as the saying went, ‘the ones in the lead usually bear the brunt of attack’.
If he were to be part of a comrcial, when the day of chaos arrived, everyone would know about his power and his advantage would be gone.
On the forums, a new topic was started regarding the pros and cons of awakening.
The pros ntioned that tahumans could further improve society, speed up the process of science and production, as well as provide lifestyle entertainnt.
The cons mainly talked about the fear of tahumans misusing their abilities.
Lu Shu was more concerned about the cons. His opinion was that there were definitely bad people out there and most tahumans also had a sense of superiority.
While Lu Shu was still reading the forums, Jiang Shuyi was curious, “What are you looking at?”
“The forums! I’m interested in what other people have to say about tahumans and seems like so of their information are quite accurate,” Lu Shu explained.
“Send the link. I want to read too,” Jiang Shuyi requested.
“Sure,” Lu Shu replied. He was surprised that Jiang Shuyi had never read the forums.
At this mont, the class representative Liu Li walked over, pulled out a chair and sat beside Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu. Lu Shu was baffled and wondered what he was up to.
“Let’s cut to the chase,” Liu Li said, “My family owns a company and after so discussion with my dad last night, we are interested in signing agreents with so tahumans. You will be paid a monthly inco and in other words, we would like to recruit so tahumans as our employees.”
Lu Shu was annoyed. Did he think tahumans could be recruited just like that? tahumans willing to beco bodyguards were already the minority and not to ntion being a normal employee. He must be joking. Lu Shu felt that Liu Li’s dad could be serious in recruiting tahumans but sohow hearing it from Liu Li, it all seed like a joke…
Having said those words, Liu Li stared at Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu with a serious face.
“Ahem,” Lu Shu cleared his throat, “Your look of seriousness, it looks so fake…”
Liu Li, “???”
“From Liu Li’s distress, 377!”
