“Wait. We don’t have a form teacher anymore.” Lu Shu suddenly realized.
The species research specialization in the Luo Shen Cultivation College was an agonizing specialization. They should have been dissecting specins in the laboratory and conducting research on mutated species. But they had to go all over the country, just to catch their own specins. Not only that, they even had to catch specins for the other Cultivation Colleges.
They had accepted this fact. But they had just started school and their form teacher was already gone...
“Brother Shu.” Cheng Qiuqiao asked anxiously, “Has our specialization been cursed?”
Lu Shu sat by the window and calmly said, “You’re right. Our specialization has been cursed.”
“Who cursed us?!” Cheng Qiuqiao was dumbfounded. It was a casual statent, but they had really been cursed. Who did this?!
Lu Shu looked out of the window. “We’ve been cursed by Nie Ting...”
Cheng Qiuqiao was speechless.
Lu Shu scrolled through the Golden Foundation forum. He wanted to follow the news about the mutated creatures in the city. What made him surprised was that even though the Heavenly Network had made preparations, mutated creatures still appeared in an endless stream.
Most of the mutated creatures in the city were either mice or insects. These animals were harmless. So were even able to live in harmony with humans. So dostic spiders had mutated, but did not attack humans either.
Throughout the process of evolution of the natural order, humans did not seem to be the target. The mutated mice did not attack humans. They ate everything else. Other species were afraid of them.
So people suggested that mutated cats should be used to tackle the mice. In reality, it would not be difficult for them to catch the mice, but they were much more dangerous than the mice.
So people were worried that the cats would start to attack humans. Others said that cute animals like cats would never do such a thing. The intensity of the debate was like the debate over whether soft bean curd was better sweet or salty.
There was an interesting news article. An old lady was suddenly attacked by a vengeful crow. At first, no one understood what had happened. Later on, they discovered that after the crow beca intelligent, it wanted to drink water. It saw a bottle of mineral water and used a stone to break the water. But when water flowed out and it could finally drink, the old lady took the bottle of water and the stone away.
Thus, the crow bore a grudge against the old lady and attacked her everyday...
To be honest, the old lady was in the wrong. After all, the crow had been very busy. But earlier, Lu Shu had said that the evolution of the natural order had nothing to do with justice and evil. This was a process that every species had to go through, to fight for their place in the world.
The train was about to arrive at the station. When Lu Shu saw the words “Welco to Luo City”, he felt very touched. They were finally back.
“Lu Shu, we have no more food at ho.” Lu Xiaoyu drowsily said, “Let’s buy so before going ho.”
“Okay.” Lu Shu nodded his head.
Lu Xiaoyu was in charge of what food to buy. At first, Lu Xiaoyu wanted to slack off and make Little Fury buy the food. But Little Fury flashed a look of grief and indignation, showing that it had no way to buy food. It would scare the sellers.
Cheng Qiuqiao headed towards the Luo Shen Cultivation College. He heard that Chen Zuan would be staying with Lu Shu and requested to move in there as well. On the other hand, Cao Qingci had a house in Luo City.
Lu Shu had heard about Cao Qingci since the dawn of the magically rich era. Her family was not wealthy. The clothes she wore to school were shabby and she did not have any pocket money. Her family situation only improved after she joined the Heavenly Network and received a salary.
It could be said that Cao Qingci was the breadwinner of the family, even before she graduated. Chen Zuan and the rest had been quite generous in buying snacks for them on the train, but Cao Qingci did not buy any drinks or food throughout the entire trip.
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Co and have a al with and Lu Xiaoyu. I’ll make so food for you.”
Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan agreed. Lu Shu thought that Cao Qingci would reject his offer, but she did not.
Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu to buy food. They bought a perch, a chicken, three kilograms of ribs, and a pile of vegetables. This ti, Lu Shu was not stingy. Everyone was fatigued after coming back from Death Valley. As the leader, he had to reassure everyone. After all, he had made the decision to go to the Kunlun Mountains.
Lu Shu was greedy for money because he was scared of being poor. He could not feel safe if he did not have money...
Lu Shu could now be considered a rich man, right?
When they were at the cashier, Lu Shu asked the boss, “How much?”
“202 dollars,” said the boss.
“Xiaoyu, bargain with him,” said Lu Shu softly. He was not good at bargaining, but he knew that Lu Xiaoyu had a talent in this area.
Lu Xiaoyu calmly said, “Boss, can you round off the zero?”
The boss laughed. “Sure, no problem.”
Lu Xiaoyu took out 22 dollars and passed it to the boss. She was about to walk away with Lu Shu when the boss pulled Lu Shu. “Please wait. To be honest, in my twenty years of selling vegetables, this is my first ti seeing a custor round off the zero in the middle...”
Lu Xiaoyu bargained again. Eventually, they got their goods for 180 dollars.
Lu Shu sighed with emotion. “Xiaoyu, teach how to bargain.”
“You have no talent. You can’t,” rejected Lu Xiaoyu with a triumphant look on her face.
“From Lu Shu’s distress, 199!”
When they returned ho, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao had sohow found a gaming device and started to play on Lu Shu’s television while waiting for food. Cao Qingci was sitting on the sofa and reading a book. The title of the book was “A Brief History of Ti”.
Lu Shu rembered that he had sensed the ability to change the laws of nature from Cao Qingci. He had also suspected that Cao Qingci’s awakened ability had sothing to do with ti.
Lu Shu helped Lu Xiaoyu wash the vegetables in the kitchen. She looked very cute wearing her little apron.
For so reason, Lu Shu suddenly felt that the feeling of ho had grown stronger. The oil in the pot started to heat up slowly. The cut garlic and scallions crackled in the pot. Outside, Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan were shouting as they played their ga.
Everything was peaceful.
Lu Shu had very few friends as he had never thought about making them. He was fine as long as he had Lu Xiaoyu.
But now, all of them could be considered his friends, right? Lu Shu felt that this experience was quite good.
Lu Shu carried a plate of freshly cooked food out. Suddenly, soone knocked on the door. A clear voice sounded from outside the door. She spoke in awkward Chinese. “Hello, is anyone ho?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. The voice sounded distant, yet very close to him.
He felt as if the last ti he had heard this voice was in his previous life. Coral.
