Chapter 172
Chapter 172: Parent Meeting (Part 3) The electronics at home were all replaced with brand new ones. The first device Lu Xiaoyu experienced was the television. Lu Shu had even subscribed to a cable television and changed the receiver, the cable tv also came with broadband and there was even wifi at home now.
Lu Shu was suddenly feeling blessed, and life had become more comfortable…
Letting Lu Xiaoyu enjoy her newfound happiness from the new television, Lu Shu went back to ponder the things he wanted to do in the future.
Training was definitely of top priority as only the strength from training could be beneficial in keeping a footing in this era, only then could Lu Shu settle down.
Just from the money-earning incident during the remains, he could not have accomplished that without strength. In other words, if he had followed the daoyuan class’ training method, he couldn’t have earned that sum of money.
Although Lu Shu was going along with the flow, he had independence. The others relied on the heavenly network to impart training methods and resources but Lu Shu didn’t need them. The magical stones and magical energy were things he had not much use for.
Lu Shu wasn’t unambitious, just that his objective wasn’t to obtain benefits or power but to have the ability to assure his safety and freedom.
After thinking about training, it was about daily life. Daily income was still essential as chances to earn money in remains wouldn’t come by so often.
This could be compared to the lottery. If someone happened to win the lottery by luck, he would feel as if he could depend on it for his living. He might even give up his normal life to spend his fortune on the lottery, ultimately ending up in debts and breaking his own family apart. Such cases weren’t uncommon.
Lu Shu had always been more practical. He wouldn’t bet his hopes on the next remains and how much money he could earn from it. Selling stinky tofu to feed his family was still an option.
In the future, once the grey area for practitioners appeared, he could rely on selling his things, such as magical stones, on the black markets.
Only at that time would his material needs be fully satisfied.
Speaking of remains, who knew when the next remains would resurface in Yuzhou, and Lu Shu felt the need to establish a closer connection with Li Yixiao. After all, he was still a normal daoyuan student and whether he could enter the next remains would be solely dependant on this unreliable principal.
A collaborated business with the school principal just felt weird…
Considering his standard of living, Lu Shu thought and finally allocated studying as his third priority.
Education background wasn’t important, a diploma wasn’t important, but heritage was.
In fact, through his conversations with Jiang Shuyi, he understood that the level of a country’s heritage could very likely determine its position and strength in this era.
But Lu Shu was curious, what exactly did that mean?
From the looks of the daoyuan training method, this was the work of that heavenly king Shi Xuejin to provide an effective system for imparting training methods based on individual levels. Everyone would just need to follow the class’ training methods to increase their strength.
Many other prospering places with a high level of education also had such a way of heritage, giving their own local practitioners an easier time.
This didn’t mean that other places wouldn’t have practitioners, but just that the practitioners in these places would have a much harder time figuring out the training on their own.
Cultural heritage didn’t determine the current position but would come into effect after the full recovery of magical energy and would determine a country’s practitioners strength as a whole
Lu Shu jokingly asked that wouldn’t there be some evil plotting western-church like the Holy See cultivating their strength as well?
Jiang Shuyi gave a weird look and nodded but didn’t dare to say anything else. In the organization behind the Holy See, the followers were controlled by the Cardinal Secretary of State and half of the cardinal were already practitioners…
Lu Shu almost choked on his water, whatever he thought of really happened!
From cultural heritage to education, Lu Shu had always emphasized on Lu Xiaoyu’s homework as he felt that education was important. In the era of practitioners, many daoyuan students had given up on their cultural studies but Lu Shu didn’t
At this moment, the heavenly network had yet to mention anything about the high school exam. Would it be that the high school students would give up schooling and join the heavenly network right away or to continue their training in university?
Lu Shu felt that not going to university was impossible. The squad was now recruiting undergraduates to join them and why would the heavenly network want to stop their normal education?
And so learning was still important and it would be good to have a backup plan. And it would help when taking the entrance exams into university as well. It wouldn’t be as appealing to say that you’re from some low-ranking university.
At this moment, the future was still a blur. Lu Shu wasn’t the only one with no idea what’s in store, the members of the heavenly network didn’t know too.
During these few days in the remains, Lu Shu was lagging behind in his homework which was something he’s not used to.
Lu Shu thought and sent a message to his group chat- Really envious of those who can go to school. Can anyone tell me what the lessons had covered so that I can self-study?
On the other hand, the normal students in school were envious that the daoyuan students could have a break until next week when they say Lu Shu’s message!
“From Li Qingyu’s distress…”
“From…”
Lu Shu felt that something was not right, why is today’s distress points so little? Where’s the distress points from Ye Lingling…?
She must have blocked me. Does she not treasure our friendship as classmates?
Lu Shu then sent the message to everyone individually…
“From Ye Lingling’s distress, +666…”
At this moment, Lu Shu received a notification from Xi Fei about a parents meeting to discuss the incident!
At this point in time, the parents that had lost their children to the remains were still begging and crying in devastation outside Mt Beimang camp.
The media had censored this incident but it didn’t mean that it could just pass by like this. The number of student casualties in the remain was 300+!
Now that the daoyuan class had suddenly notified the surviving students of a parents meeting, what could have happened? Lu Shu went onto the golden foundation forum to take a look, and it turned out that not only was Luo Cheng affected, but the daoyuan class in other places were holding a parents meeting too!
Something major was going to happen!
