Chapter 104: Crepe (Part 3)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
What was all that training for? To Lu Shu, it was for a better standard of living.
Every time he lit up another star, Lu Shu would feel an indescribable sense of happiness.
As usual, he opened the lottery to spin for the stinky tofu…
Under normal circ.u.mstances, breakfast stall owners would need to wake up early at about 5 am to start preparing. After a busy morning, their day would finally end at 10 am.
There were some exceptions too. For example, the bun stall owner would need to wake up at 3 am to process the flour and fillings.
Cooking had become simpler with ready-made ingredients being sold.
But some owners did not wish the spend that extra money and continued to make it themselves.
Uncle Li’s stall even sold wonton. Lu Shu had once tried making them and could at most make 8 within a minute while Uncle Li could make 40.
Based on Uncle Li’s judgement, Lu Shu would make a loss selling wonton. The filling could not be too little or customers would not revisit. But too much filling also meant lesser profits.
Lu Shu always felt that in the adult’s world, earning money was never easy for anyone.
And compared to his business, the stinky tofu was gotten from the lottery and no time was wasted. How incredibly lucky.
He also considered stocking up on some stinky tofu ingredients. If not, someone might find out that he could magically make stinky tofu appear. But thinking about it, the ingredients he bought would go to waste as how could he and Lu Xiaoyu finish all of it by themselves? No matter how big of an appet.i.te they had, it was impossible!
But this was the era of metahumans. So what if he had awakened a power to produce stinky tofu? Was it illegal?!
A bunch of people on the Golden Foundation forums had mentioned that a myriad of weird powers exists. It wasn’t just one or two cases, someone could even weave his green hair into a hat!
Another man’s power was to cause females who came within a 3-meter radius to have an intense migraine.
His family line should be ending here. He could change his s.e.xual orientation but carrying on his family line would be impossible…
But Lu Shu was thinking, what if this guy were to level up, he would become an anti-female metahuman and pract.i.tioner being…
In reality, it was very difficult for a metahuman to awaken the second time. The example from last night was a very rare occurrence.
If only that man had a good nature, his name would definitely go down the history of metahumans. What a pity.
Lu Shu never considered breaking the law but also had no intention of relying on the Daoyuan cla.s.s’ resources. The Daoyuan cla.s.s’ training method and resources were of no use to him. Even with the given magical stones, Lu Shu could not put them to use unless a black market was to appear one day.
So how should Lu Shu proceed? Go with the flow and become a law-abiding pract.i.tioner with a 9-5 job?
He felt that was too underachieving…..
This era was a blessing to the better and stronger as their special powers could be magnified but this era was also a curse for the weaker as in times of catastrophe, they would have no power to defend themselves.
In the morning, Lu Shu went over to the old man’s for his training and returned home to shower. He looked at himself in the mirror.
The old man had said something accurate about him this morning, that within a day span, he had gained confidence and his vitality was richer.
Lu Shu did not reply. He knew that this was because of that punch which gave him a boost in confidence. Even a relatively strong criminal could not withstand a punch from him.
Confidence was to be built up slowly over time.
It was aa form of manner, from weak to strong and from poor to rich, one day it would s.h.i.+ne brightly like the stars.
Lu Shu began today’s lottery and that was why he saved up that 5000 distress points. But while he was doing the lottery at a quick pace, something that wasn’t a stinky tofu flashed past.
A jolt of excitement hit him and from what he thought he saw was a yellowish color, could it be a golden paper again?
When was the last time I got something good? I’ve gotten those d.a.m.n stinky tofu every single day till I’m about to puke!
Haha, finally something different appeared today!
He opened his bag in the system to look for that item but was disappointed- a crepe.
What the f***! You’re actually giving me a crepe?! And at a 1 in 50 chance?!
What a scam!
Lu Shu almost threw the crepe onto the floor!
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu, in her pajamas, came out rubbing her eyes, “Lu Shu, I dreamt about the smell of crepes…. Hm, a crepe!”
Lu Xiaoyu could not believe her eyes, “Lu Shu! You said you can’t make crepes!”
Lu Shu almost vomited blood. How does your brain work, should that be the first thing you say?
“I didn’t make this,” Lu Shu was annoyed.
Lu Xiaoyu completely ignored his words and took a bite of the crepe, “Can you make some soybean milk tomorrow?”
“I said I did not make this!”
“And an egg!”
“Hehe.”
Still agitated, Lu Shu asked, “Have you completely a.s.sembled that man’s soul?”
“Done, look!” Lu Xiaoyu brought out our her new soul puppet.
Sh*t! Lu Shu almost spat out the porridge inside his mouth, “Why is he not wearing anything?! Close your eyes and don’t look!”
Lu Xiaoyu reasoned, “That’s really disrespectful to the nature of the human body. At birth, we bring nothing and at death, we take away nothing, why should a soul wear clothes?”
“Why are you suddenly lecturing me about philosophies?!” Lu Shu was freaking out, “Can your power grant him some clothes? At least have some decency!”
“I can’t…” Lu Xiaoyu waved her hand, “What can I do, I’m disappointed too…”
This was driving Lu Shu crazy. The man was quite a giant and you… just in what kind of situation a young lady would bring a naked giant with her to battle?!
But given that there’s no way around it, he had to accept reality. Lu Shu suddenly found what Lu Xiaoyu said very logical. Indeed, at birth, we bring nothing and at death. we take away nothing so a soul should not be wearing clothes!
Lu Shu thought, “If giving him clothes was not possible, would it be possible to erase certain parts? At least have some sort of censors.h.i.+p!”
“I’ll try,” Lu Xiaoyu absorbed back the soul and after awhile, “done!”
Lu Shu took a glance and finally heaved a sigh of relief… That part is gone and replaced with a flat surface… at least this is acceptable! He suddenly thought that Lu Xiaoyu’s power to absorb soul, would it be leveled up as training progressed?
