What Happened to the Distress Points?
What Happened to the Distress Points?
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 would sit in front of their desks but actually took in nothing and when they were done, they packed up their learning materials so seriously it was 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.
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 wore thick gold-color eye shadow and a pretty blush and looked just like the Monkey King!
Lu Shu was frustrated… Could the Heavenly Network please do something about it?
That girl wore a simple outfit last time, but now even her backpack was branded.
It was likely she had been recruited by some important family. Now that she was 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.
In fact, the girl was studying his blue hair while he was examining her makeup… Despite the fact that much of the color had already faded and black hair became visible again, the light blue in his hair was so eye-catching, it was as though it glowed…
The two of them 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's Heavenly Network for his work attitude. If not for the burden that was Li Yixiao, Lu Shu thought that Zhong Yutang could have gone further…
"From Zhong Yutang's distress, +66…"
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, how come you felt distress the second you saw my face?! This was so wrong!
Speaking of which, Zhong Yutang must have been close to the peak of Class C the last time they met half a year ago for him to have done his job well as the Chief Manager of Yuzhou. Then why had he not 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 could not 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 not cause any trouble. Since there's still a few minutes before the train's arrival, you can introduce yourselves."
After that, Zhong Yutang stepped aside to make a phone call to some unknown person and left behind the six people to talk 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 personnel 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 the 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 Cheng Qiuqiao, who was very tanned.
Lu Shu was amused upon his first sight of Cheng Qiuqiao… 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 such 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, "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 any further about that."
Lu Shu was unhappy. What did he mean by he could not go any further about that? Was he not 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 the Yuzhou students, they were at the head of the carriage while he was almost at the rear…
Lu Shu was on the brink of frustration, he was not sure if this was Zhong Yutang's plan. However, 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 was his 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…?
Lu Shu sat alone in his compartment and was in deep thought for ten minutes. Damn this arrangement! Apparently those people did not want him to distract those geniuses from their cultivation!
Did someone report him? Lu Shu went back into deep thought again…
At that moment, the train had started moving. A student with a tiny build appeared at his door, "Eh, are you the only one in this compartment? Glad to meet you, I am Yi Ran."
