Chapter 24
It was already at night once school was over. The sun set on the horizon, and a speck of red could be seen floating right above the indigo color of the horizon.
The passing of the new year on the moon also means that summer is approaching.
Lu Shu prefers autumn because the weather is better, cooler, and refreshing.
He was most afraid of winter when he was young because of his weak body. The thermal wear and tear of social services is not bad, but the blanket is thin and uninsulated.
He usually wakes up with a cold nose and cold feet, and at that time he is very prone to illness, so he especially hates winter.
After all, to appreciate the winter and admire the snow, it is an activity for the rich who do not have to worry about food or warmth.
In the past, Lu Shu would sneak out with Lu Xiaoyu to buy sweet potatoes on the street. They don't have a lot of money, only 2 dollars and 5 dollars notes, and most of their money comes from volunteers from the social service.
But one yam was not expensive. 2 dollars was enough to feed the two of them, and Lu Shu ate less so Lu Xiaoyu could eat more.
On the way home, Lu Shu meets an old man who sells sweet potatoes. The stove was warm and on it there were already some sweet potatoes.
He greeted the boss and looked at the cooked yam. He wanted to choose one that was well cooked.
Lu Xiaoyu loved to eat sweet potatoes, and the best ones were the golden ones and full of juice.
The boss, holding one yam, said, "2 dollars and 60 cents, 2.50 will work."
Lu Shu gladly paid the yam, decided to give the little girl in the gift house tonight.
Back home, the two snowmen in the garden had already melted. But more important was to look at his cooking tomatoes he had grown, and that gave him a kind of happiness.
He took the key to open the door, "Lu Xiaoyu! Did you kiss her?"
No one responded and Lu Shu was curious. Logically speaking, Lu Xiaoyu would run away once she smelled the sweet potato scent.
He stepped further into the house, "Lu Xiaoyu?"
He opened the door of Lu Xiaoyu's room and found Lu Xiaoyu hiding in his blanket, her face deathly pale.
Lu Shu panicked and touched Lu Xiaoyu's forehead. So hot! This little girl has a fever!
Lu Xiaoyu had just started saying, "Is sweet potato well cooked ... Don't buy one that is not well cooked, not tasty …"
Lu Shu sighed in relief, "Still greedy for yams, why are you suddenly in a fever?"
"I washed the clothes you were wearing for a week, and the water was a bit cold .." The little girl, not as advanced as she used to be, said softly.
"Why do you wash your clothes on a cold day?" Lu Shu complained and pulled out the thermometer from the closet, "Put it under your arm."
Lu Xiaoyu listened obediently, and within 5 minutes, showed Lu Shu the thermometer. His eyebrows shot up, 39 degrees!
Just as he was preparing to search for common medicines at home, he realized he did not need to use the usual means to solve such a problem.
Lu Shu had thought about this before, if he could help Lu Xiaoyu develop skills as well, would he let it go?
The answer is yes, definitely yes.
Perhaps through the cultivation of skills, one could be immortal and long-lived. If he had to see Lu Xiaoyu die in just ten years, while he could live a long life, it didn't seem to be very beneficial to him.
Although he did not have many training and planting methods until now, he might be able to teach Lu Xiaoyu in the future.
Be it Daoist training and cultivation skills in the video, or whatever, Lu Shu could still put in the effort.
And now, Lu Xiaoyu could eat some refreshment fruit. Although it would not give him any significant expertise or improvement, at least it could make him healthy.
Healthy was what Lu Shu felt when he ate the freshener fruit.
And now, since Lu Shu earned 4109 distress points from what happened today, it was a huge sum for him and probably enough to get some refresher fruits for Lu Xiaoyu and him.
Lu Shu was happy to spend all these points …
The heavenly fruit could wait a bit, because he could practice even without the heavenly fruit and it could be replaced.
Fresheners, on the other hand, are irreplaceable. Lu Shu had no other method to achieve what the fruit could provide.
Okay fine!
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Shu, who was by his side, agitated, as if something was about to happen.
"Lu Shu, why is your face so black?"
"Maybe I am African," Lu Shu replied indifferently.
Lu Shu thought he might find a system that tricked him!
the last 10 lottery attempts all failed with 'thank you for participating!' Only on the 11th effort did the refreshment appear!
The lowest prize of the lottery is a fruit of refreshment? So in the future when Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu did not need it anymore, could it be sold outside? Strengthening the limbs and joints, many people outside might need them.
Trading what he doesn't need to survive seems like a good idea.
He is just not clear about this lottery system. Could it give him a different gift like a new skill or training method?
He also did not know if the refresh resulted in an expiry date. Of course, the current Lu Shu did not have the points or ability to experiment with refreshment fruits. . .
He gave Lu Xiaoyu a refresher, "Eat, this is for you."
Lu Xiaoyu stared at the refresher fruit and her eyes widened. This fruit looks really good, just seeing it taste good.
He took the fruit and put it in his mouth, and shouted in surprise, "Lu Shu, what are you giving me? Why did it disappear as soon as it got into my mouth!"
Lu Shu did not respond, but carefully observed Lu Xiaoyu's changes. As soon as he ate it, he started sweating, and his complexion turned from pale to red and bright once again, it was incredible.
This could prove that the fruit he got through his points could be shared with others as well. That supports his opinion that it can be sold.
Even if he didn't sell it to a metahuman, he could sell it to those who were sick? He simply did not know how many diseases this fruit of refreshment could cure.
He measured his temperature again, he had recovered his normal temperature. Lu Xiaoyu, as if she sensed something, looked at Lu Shu with her wide, glittering eyes, "Lu Shu, have you woken up?"
Although he had not heard of any special ability that involved producing fruits, a mysterious fruit, it must have something to do with metahumans.
Lu Shu thought for a moment, "I don't know if I was considered to be awake, but I am definitely not weaker than an ordinary human now. Do you want to be a metahuman too?"
