As per morning routine, Lu Shu went over to Li Xianyi’s for his swordplay training and made food for Lu Xiaoyu before heading out to sell stinky tofu.
Selling stinky tofu had become an easy task as the last serving was used as a sample for viewing and placed there. There was no need for a performance and if anyone approached to ask, he would just say that the sample was not for sale and this would generate distress points.
After finished selling the stinky tofu and placing the sample there, he started messing around on the Golden Foundation forum. Commenting on every post he saw, he wasn’t trying to cause distress but to make his ID well-known.
Lu Shu felt that he should make his ID well-known before he could begin his next plan. If not, once he posted a comment, it would be buried instantly.
He felt that doing so wasn’t a waste of time but a slow and constant effort that would accumulate and one day reward him.
There were new hot topics appearing on the forum every day and even the incident about the metahuman criminals had become old news.
No one was still interested in the number of casualties in the chase or how the 3 of them died. It was like a fast-food era, everyone forgets fast.
After magical lands had become a vital training resource, that had become the hottest topic right now.
Everyone was discussing suspected magical lands in their own cities which became very popular and the landlords would wait out for the price to rise before selling.
Within a short time, prices of magical lands had skyrocketed which was discouraging to many.
This was the market. When an item became popular, its price would follow suit until the trend died down and its price would be reasonably reconsidered.
People on the forums would be talking about a magical land from this place being sold at this price to the CEO of so and so company and that his two sons were both in Daoyuan class. There were also rumors that the two sons liked to use their status as a Daoyuan student to seduce female students…
There were all kinds of gossips and this was what’s expected when everyone was gathered on one single platform.
Posts on magical lands were mostly about which wealthy man bought something really pricey. Although this was very different from a normal life, everyone was still willing to discuss it.
Lu Shu also saw an interesting post about a certain someone who bought a bunch of mutated plants and placed them at his doorsteps to pose as a magical land so that he could sell for a high price. In the end, these mutated plants died as soon as they were placed there…
There were really all kinds of people. Phone scams, fake advertisements, there were so many different ways and ideas about fake magical lands now.
People these days…
The mutated plants relied heavily on a magical-energy concentrated surrounding which led to people turning to mutated animals instead. This time, there were people who actually got scammed.
After several such cases, another precautionary step had been added to the process of buying magical lands- buyers would request to personally test out the place by carrying out their training to check for validity.
As a result, property companies started hiring Daoyuan students to test for magical lands and a new kind of job had emerged…
Some of the smarter students who knew that they wouldn’t be able to afford magical lands would shamelessly pretend to be interested in the magical land. They would then train there for a whole night and not purchase the house, all these just for training……
This was the reason why humans made it to the top of all living things…
Just as Lu Shu was still scrolling the forums, someone came over to buy stinky tofu, “Boss, how much is one serving?”
“This is not for sale, it’s a sample”
“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +21…”
Upon seeing this update, Lu Shu immediately looked up at the annoyed Li Yixiao who, while biting his gum, said, “I may be uneducated but you can’t trick me. Since when did selling stinky tofu need a sample?”
Lu Shu was frightened, why is this guy here? Since when do Heavenly Kings come to such normal places? And don’t the Heavenly Network have their own cafeteria…
“Haha, I’m kidding. Of course I’m selling, 5 dollars per serving,” Lu Shu immediately gave up his plan to earn distress points for that morning…
Li Yixiao smiled brightly as he took out money for the stinky tofu. As soon as he ate it, “I heard that your stinky tofu is delicious and they’re right! It’s the best I’ve ever tasted, you’re really good!”
Lu Shu suddenly had chills down his spine, this guy better not be coming down here every day at this time to eat my sample stinky tofu…
There was no way Lu Shu could reject a Heavenly King’s request. Even if he really did not sell, the other party might not say anything but just in case.
Lu Shu would not risk anything over this matter…
Li Yixiao added, “Hmm, you look familiar. Have we met?”
This stunned Lu Shu. Since yesterday, they had only met twice and he was also standing in the middle of the rows of students. So how did he find him familiar? Lu Shu could only think of two possibilities- one was that he had a super memory that could remember everyone’s faces after just one encounter or two, it was because Li Xianyi was his neighbor and the Heavenly Network had researched information regarding him.
Lu Shu was never naive enough to think that he could live beside Li Xianyi without others investigating him.
“I’m a Daoyuan student and we’ve met yesterday,” Lu Shu replied.
Li Yixiao’s eyes lit up, “So you’re a Daoyuan student. That’s great. Then could this stinky tofu be a treat for me? Hahaha, you can look for me if you have any problems in school!”
Lu Shu rolled his eyes, this… what kind of Heavenly King would scrimp on a cheap serving of stinky tofu…?
In the end, Uncle Li couldn’t stand it anymore, “What is wrong with you? Xiao Shu here is an orphan and has to study and work at the same time. He even has a younger sister to feed so how could you not pay for his stinky tofu?”
It was Li Yixiao’s turn to be dumbfounded and speechless for a while before taking out a 100 dollars bill, “Sorry about that, this 100 dollar is my compensation for not knowing about your situation. You still can look for me in school should you have problems.”
Lu Shu didn’t decline his offer to provide assistance in school but returned him the 95 dollars change, “The stinky tofu costs 5 dollars, I don’t want the excess.”
