Chapter 809: Dirty Thing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Many people said that it was like spring all year round in Luo City. It was very suitable for living. But to Lu Shu, spring was like the four seasons in Luo City.

When it was cold in winter, people did not want to go out. When it was hot in summer, it was ridiculously hot.

Chen Zuan lay down in the house and fanned himself. He looked as if he had nothing else to live for. He was drenched in sweat. The newly-installed air-conditioning was of no use.

The house that Lu Shu was living in had been renovated by the landlord. There was a heat insulator in the roof. The water pipes and electricity cables had also been replaced.

But the house that Li Xianyi had lived in was different. Li Xianyi and Aunty Liu were not materialistic. They lived an ascetic life. Thus, the electricity cables in this old house could not support an air-conditioner. If they turned on the air-conditioner, the electricity would trip…

Chen Zuan had spent almost all of this month’s salary to buy the air-conditioner…

This broken and tattered place. Chen Zuan had never imagined that he would have to dig for his lunch. If he was in the capital, he would find the best restaurant to eat at!

Chen Zuan was very annoyed. He was a standard tyc.o.o.n, yet he could only fan himself in this place. Why could his childhood friends enjoy themselves in the Capital? He had been chased out of his house to Luo City. He had wanted to stick to Lu Shu… but Lu Shu had secretly ran off…

But there were some benefits as well. Chen Zuan was now detached from that group of friends, as he was the only one out of all of them who was a Cla.s.s B expert.

He had to thank Lu Shu for this. Without Lu Shu, he would not have been able to join the Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude military training. He would not have been able to drink the magical liquid at the Kunlun Mountains either.

After Chen Zuan had advanced to Cla.s.s B, he wanted to return to the Capital as soon as possible. He would gather all his old friends and bask in their praises…

Cheng Qiuqiao returned home. When Chen Zuan saw Cheng Qiuqiao, he suddenly asked him in a nervous tone, “Are you brave?”

Cheng Qiuqiao was dumbfounded. “Quite. What’s wrong?”

“Then let me tell you something!” Chen Zuan sounded very mysterious. “There is a dirty thing ¹ in our house.”

Cheng Qiuqiao looked around. “Was my grandma right?”

Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “What did your grandma say?”

Cheng Qiuqiao laughed coldly. “Ha ha, my grandma said that dogs can see things humans can’t.”

Chen Zuan was rendered speechless. “Brother Shu can speak like that because he is so strong, no one can defeat him. But if you speak like that, let me tell you, I am a Cla.s.s B!”

Cheng Qiuqiao slammed his hand on the table. He was upset. “Get yourself together. You were the one who insisted on watching a horror movie last night. You started screaming when you saw just a few zombies. How can a Cla.s.s B expert be afraid of zombies?”

Chen Zuan seemed like he did not want to continue with this subject. “Back to the main point. There is really a ghost in our house. Since you said that you are brave, if you get rid of the ghost, I will acknowledge that you are braver than me!”

Cheng Qiuqiao was very puzzled. Was there really a ghost in their house. But it was not bad that Chen Zuan would acknowledge that he was braver than Chen Zuan. Cheng Qiuqiao happily asked, “I can’t see the ghost either. How should I get rid of it?”

“You can see it. It’s in the kitchen,” Chen Zuan said with confidence.

Cheng Qiuqiao walked around the kitchen. He remained silent. “Was the dirty thing you were talking about your undone dishes?!”

Chen Zuan beamed in joy. “That’s right. If you wash them, I will acknowledge that you are braver than me.”

The species research specialization had been liberated again. Since they had no teacher, they had to come up with ways to pa.s.s the time. Zhao Yongchen came, but only for one lesson before he went to the Changbai Mountains as well.

Cheng Qiuqiao was still decent. He went to school out of his own initiative and attended cla.s.ses from other specializations. On the other hand, Chen Zuan was completely free. He did not even go to school.

Back then when Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were around, they were very happy, playing in the laboratory. But now that Lu Shu had secretly disappeared, the entire species research specialization gave up playing…

“Why don’t we go to the Changbai Mountains?” Chen Zuan suddenly said, “It feels empty now that Brother Shu has left. Anyway, no one is looking out for us. We might be able to help if we go to the Changbai Mountains. Ordinary students might create trouble, but we are not ordinary students.”

All the students in the Cultivation College were being managed and controlled. The teachers were worried that their students would become enthusiastic and run off to the Changbai Mountains. But… the species research specialization had no teacher…

“Go to the Changbai Mountains?” Cheng Qiuqiao thought about it. To be honest, after Lu Shu left, it felt as if their lives were missing many things. Typically, when they had to make difficult decisions, they would unconsciously find Lu Shu. Now that Lu Shu was gone, it felt very strange.

“That’s right. We can call Cao Qingci and Xiaoyu. It would be a waste if the three Cla.s.s B’s did not go and help.” Chen Zuan felt a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Network. He did not feel a.s.sured knowing that many others were dying in the Changbai Mountains, while they were still going to school.

If Chen Zuan was only a Cla.s.s D or Cla.s.s C, it would still be fine. But since he was a Cla.s.s B, he could not enjoy this peace with a clear conscience.

Furthermore… Chen Zuan suddenly felt as if the species research specialization had become an entire team. If they were able to work together in battle, it would definitely be very meaningful.

Chen Zuan dragged Cheng Qiuqiao to find Lu Xiaoyu. They knocked on her door for a very long time, but there was no answer.

“Hm? I came back together with Xiaoyu. After she went in, I never heard the sound of the door opening,” said Cheng Qiuqiao.

Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “Did you forget that she has earth-type abilities. I think that… she might have gone to the Changbai Mountains herself!”

Chen Zuan felt that his was normal. The chemistry between Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu was so strong that they were like a whole. Since Lu Shu had gone to the Changbai Mountains, how could Lu Xiaoyu be at ease?

He called Cao Qingci. He felt that only Cao Qingci could accompany them. But he suddenly realized that Cao Qingci had turned off her phone!

Cao Qingci was always by her phone. Chen Zuan was as well, as this was an order by the Heavenly Kings to the Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses. They might allocate missions for them at any time.

But Cao Qingci had turned off her phone. Chen Zuan was slightly annoyed. “Did Cao Qingci go to the Changbai Mountains too? Why didn’t she say anything?”

Cheng Qiuqiao thought about it and said, “Maybe they thought that you aren’t reliable.”

Chen Zuan was unhappy. “They didn’t tell you either, right?”

“Maybe it’s because I’m involved with you,” Cheng Qiuqiao said in a serious tone.
