Chapter 347: Friends For Life

Translator: Atla.s.studios Editor: Atla.s.studios

Chen Zuan fell asleep on the carpet in the furniture store. As someone from an affluent family, he had been sighing with emotion about happiness and life. But the reality showed that he was simply too free.

Once one became busy with securing a living, he would not even have the time to care about anything else. What is happiness? Happiness is the ability to sleep when you are sleepy…

Lu Shu had forced himself to stay awake for three days. Although he could boost his energy by singing ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ but in these circ.u.mstances how could he do it. Sing it when he was being chased by Hao Zhichao’s team? Then how could he keep his foothold in the Heavenly Network in the future?!

After two hours of being badgered, Hao Zhichao’s people were finally clear that someone had s.h.i.+fted the blame onto them. Without asking the women, they already knew who was behind it, but they could not figure out why there had been no message from the Heavenly King.

On the eighth day of their urban survival, Hao Zhichao did not come for Lu Shu and Chen Zuan at all. Lu Shu wondered, was something wrong? Are they no longer coming after us?

Lu Shu was the kind of person who prayed no more once he was ash.o.r.e. He could not wait to fight again after the good night of rest, but his rivals did not appear for a second time.

All the way until the tenth day, there were no longer any pursuers at night. It seemed that the battle had finally come to an end.

Stood on the streets, Lu Shu was in high spirits, “As I expected, this era needs more heroes, to fight against all injustice…”

Chen Zuan was judging him, “Are you always this serious when you brag?”

At that moment, a black car came into sight. Lu Shu was slightly stunned, one car of fighters were no match for him at all. Could it be that the Heavenly Network was taking risks again, and believed that he could be taken down by so few people?

However, the car stopped right in front of them. The window slid down and Hao Zhichao shouted to them from the driver’s seat, “Get in. The a.s.sessment has ended ahead of the schedule… Don’t touch me! I don’t have money!”

“Oh,” Lu Shu was disappointed. For the past few days, their savings had been increasing steadily from selling Pleasant Goat balloons, and Lu Shu had not had enough of the satisfaction of making money. But this time, Hao Zhichao came alone with the message, and dishearteningly did not even bring any money…

Why did the a.s.sessment end before the stipulated date? Was it because Nie Ting was certain that everyone had let go of their arrogant airs?

Lu Shu agreed that once the ultimate goal had been achieved, there was no point in continuing the a.s.sessment anyway.

The car was s.h.i.+fting swiftly on the road towards Lingjing Lane. When they reached their destination, Chen Zuan pulled open the door and got off the car, followed by Lu Shu. The little fatty froze instantly and Lu Shu drew in a cold breath of air as well.

Not good!

At that moment, dozens of men in black walked out from both ends of the Lane and waved their fists with a ferocious grin.

“c.r.a.p,” Lu Shu was shocked, and threw a punch at the driver’s window. Despite its bullet-proof material, the entire gla.s.s panel cracked at once. Due to the immense force of impact, the car almost toppled. It was not even Lu Shu’s full strength.

Surrounded by so many Heavenly Network fighters, Lu Shu realized that they had been tricked. Using early ending of the a.s.sessment as an excuse to trap them? Such a low move!

Did they not have any bottom lines at all?!

After making sure that the car was alright, all of them laughed hideously, “Hahahaha, what a surprise!”

Hao Zhichao gave out a roar of laughter, “Beat him up!”

In that instance, Lu Shu lowered his waist and shattered the car door with his fist and held Hao Zhichao in one hand. No car material was strong enough to defend against a fist from a Cla.s.s C fighter of the strength type.

Lu Shu grinned, “Hahahaha, what a surprise!”

“From Hao Zhichao’s distress, +666!”

Hao Zhichao swallowed his saliva, “The a.s.sessment really is over. This is our greeting present for you.”

Actually, their intention was not to give Lu Shu and Chen Zuan a sh.e.l.lacking, but it was meant to be more like a way that veterans employed to put the newbies in their place.

As a matter of fact, the veterans did not benefit from the chase earlier as well. After all, it was not an honorable story that over a hundred veterans could not even manage to catch two rookies.

To tell the truth, they did not like those so-called geniuses at first. Their pampered manners were disdained by the veterans. However, through the fight, Lu Shu had won himself respect among the existing comrades.

The chase had caused much trouble to Hao Zhichao’s team too, as Lu Shu had taken advantage of those who got lost from the main group and beat them up.

With his true power shown, Lu Shu had earned himself their recognition.

Thus, at that moment, Lu Shu found it ironic, it was not a surprise at all. He, Lu Shu, would never be weaker than anyone else.

To him, he was the winner of this fight, and this was the only truth that mattered to him.

With a foxy smile on his face, Lu Shu started to walk out slowly, “Thank you. I didn’t expect to receive such a warm welcome. Hahaha, glad to meet all of you!”

Hao Zhichao hissed, “… Let go of me!”

“Friends for life…”

“From Hao Zhichao’s distress, +666…”

Hao Zhichao almost blurted out the next line of the lyrics!

Suddenly, Nie Ting arrived from the air in his black cloak and landed quietly in the Lingjing Lane. He shot Lu Shu a cold glance, “Let him go. Everyone, follow me and tell the other groups to quickly bring the rest back.”

Only then did Lu Shu release Hao Zhichao’s arm. He did not dare to defy Nie Ting.

But, he could be certain now that the a.s.sessment was indeed over and the others were on their way back too.

Lu Shu relaxed at once, although the veterans became gloomy.

After that, they all went down into the base. It was Lu Shu’s first time to be in a base, not even in Luo Cheng did he get to go into one. Although his exceptionally high ranking granted him permission to enter, he never had the opportunity to go in, and he did not request it as well.

He heard cars entering the Lane from the surface, one after another. Then, the students were all reunited. Lu Shu had a strange feeling, he was even secretly happy.

After all, the rest did not seem to have lived any better than him.

One came back with an ap.r.o.n still on, another’s hair was as messy as a bird’s nest, some were as tanned as coal and others were covered with paint and dirt from head to toe. It was obvious what they had been doing for a living.

Before they were forced to face survival, it seemed that there were many ways to do it and they had the liberty of choosing something decent.

But the reality was, the world would never give you much preparation time nor many choices.

What you could choose, however, was whether to live with it or not.
