Chapter 63: The Mysterious Chives (Part 1)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“Lu Shu, when can we watch a movie again?” Lu Xiaoyu asked as she held Lu Shu’s hand while leaving the movie theatre.
Lu Shu thought for a mont and replied, “As long as you study hard, I can bring you here more often.”
“Okay!” Lu Xiaoyu was delighted as Lu Shu always kept his promises.
They did not have the duck blood and vermicelli soup for lunch as Lu Xiaoyu said she was full from the popcorn…
Lu Shu resud his daily training the mont they got back. With a total of 8900 distress points, 4900 were used on the lottery to obtain stinky tofus while the remaining 4000 were exchanged for 2 celestial fruits. Lu Shu was surprised. It seed like for the second nebula stage, the celestial energy required to light up the first star was equal to that of 10 celestial fruits.
This let him heave a sigh of relief. The last star of the first stage required 16 celestial fruits and if the next star was twice of that, then the number of celestial fruits required for all 49 stars would be enormous.
But from the looks of it, this wasn’t the case.
Indeed, the first star in the second nebula also looked smaller than the last star in the first nebula…
Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu’s speed of training would have been the sa. But with the existence of celestial fruits, the difference was significant.
Take, for example, Lu Xiaoyu’s daily training could generate celestial energy equivalent to that of 2 celestial fruits but Lu Shu easily ate more than that amount of celestial fruits every day.
Night had fallen and Lu Shu found out that after unlocking the second nebula, his daily training generated 4 celestial fruits worth of celestial energy!
His guess was right on. After he had upgraded his training thods, the speed of training also increased and this would probably apply to Lu Xiaoyu next ti too.
That night, Lu Shu only needed 2 more celestial fruits before he could light up the first star in the second nebula.
He stared at his phone, hoping to find an opportunity to earn a sum from the 3 group chats so as to quickly complete the first star and see its effects. But his classmates were relatively quiet, not giving him an opportunity…
Swiping through ‘ssage in a bottle’, even the teens with raging hormones were gone…
Life had beco so lonely!
As of now, he had 3 group chats- his Sophomore class 3 group, the group that Li Qi created for all Luo Cheng international’s tahuman reserves and the Daoyuan F9 class group that Xi Fei created.
Lu Shu pondered for a mont and decided to send Xi Fei a friend invite but was rejected.
So unfriendly… Can’t even add as a friend?
Lu Shu then ssaged Jiang Shuyi, asking if he had added Xi Fei. Jiang Shuyi replied that he had tried adding as well but to no avail.
So this was the case, Xi Fei never accepts anyone.
Forget it. It was important to be patient under such situations and training cannot be rushed as there was still a long way to go.
That very sa night, everyone witnessed: The Golden Foundation website had added a new ‘forum’ feature.
Previously, everyone was only interested in discussing tahumans and the discussions were spread across many different forum websites. This made the discussion really confusing as there were different content being posted everywhere.
And to Lu Shu this kind of ‘observer’, he had to scroll through one forum at a ti in order to finally read sothing interesting.
At that point in ti, no one knew which forum was best to discuss on and what was allowed to be disclosed. Anyways, the discussions were all over the place.
It was very ti and energy consuming to Lu Shu.
But now things had gotten better. The forum feature on the golden foundation website had only been released 2 hours ago and there were already tens of thousands different users posting comnts. How scary…
All the various topics and discussions about tahumans were now gathered here! The Golden Foundation must be trying to provide the main platform for everyone to interact!
In order to post comnts, you are required to register an account, an ordinary account that just required the verification with your phone number. Lu Shu thought about it and still never registered after half a day. He had planned to buy a new sim card the next day before considering. Even buying a new sim card at the shop required identification.
Needless to say, Lu Shu was being very prudent as he always lived by the rule that one can never be too careful.
Just what is the Golden Foundation? Even with all the other dia platforms silenced, they could still release such a forum targeting topics on tahumans.
Would there one day be a forum that only allowed access to tahumans? Maybe even a platform for special transactions?
There were already people wanting to sell items and such posts were quite common.
“I picked up a rock that can glow. Putting it on the windowsill, the pot of flowers at the side blood overnight- 200 dollars (non-negotiable)”
“My bunny’s eyes suddenly turned green and survived 20 days without food or water- 200k!”
“My hogrown chives suddenly beca very delicious and eating them gave a warm, fuzzy feeling. n having eaten them were irresistible to won and won who ate them were irresistible to n. If both n and woman ate them, the bed would irresistibly break. Deal face to face in the city, 40k per pound!”
Everyone was trying to rip one another off and the reason for that was no one knew exactly how much these items were worth, neither the sellers nor the buyers knew!
But no one was really going to purchase these things. Many other users were questioning the legitimacy of each item and this drove the original posters mad. Lu Shu also wanted to follow suit to earn so distress points but he had yet to create an account.
Lu Shu noticed that those with lesser secrets to hide were those who were more daring, and those who knew little were the most naive. To even dare to sell the chives like that, Lu Shu definitely would not dare to do the sa with the refresher fruits, not to ntion registering under his real na either.
Having lived as an orphan for so many years, he had developed a gift for getting people where it hurts and also a strong determination and careful character…
Lu Shu thought that the chives incident seed legit. Could it be that the place of growth had so much magical energy that caused the chives to change? If not for the arrogant tone of the post, Lu Shu almost believed it!
How good would it be if his stinky tofu also had so sort of special effect?
Actually, that’s not right. If the stinky tofu really had special effected, then he did not have to go to school anymore. The police would have caught on to him.
The more he read, the more he understood about this world. Lu Shu knew that the refresher fruit was sothing he could never let anyone see, let alone selling them, and even taking them out would be dangerous.
He should not let his impatience cloud his judgnt and at that mont, Lu Shu had totally given up on the idea of selling refresher fruits.
Going back to selling stinky tofus was a better idea but what if there was a limit to stinky tofus as well? Could he find sothing else to sell?
Talk about it when it happens.
Suddenly, the person selling chives updated his post: The chives are sold, no need for more sarcastic comnts.
This stunned Lu Shu. Were the ntioned effects of the chives so attractive? And how did sothing get sold so easily on such an untrusted platform?
