Chapter 25
This question had to be asked, whether it was for Lu Xiaoyu's sake or for some other reason. First, he had to respect Lu Xiaoyu's opinion.
Lu Xiaoyu nodded, "I want to!"
"Relax, I will think of a way," Lu Shu smiled warmly and replied, "Wake up and eat your sweet potato, leaving only a quarter for me."
Lu Shu did not specify how he would find his way and Lu Xiaoyu did not dig any deeper. Their relationship was not something that was built in a short period of time and since Lu Shu claimed that he would think of a method for her, she strongly believed that she would practice what she preached.
The current Lu Xiaoyu was the healthiest one ever. Without the Refreshing Fruit, perhaps Lu Xiaoyu would have to suffer from the injection and medicine for a week to recover a little from this fever which would also cost him a fortune.
Lu Xiaoyu happily watched the television while holding the sweet potato. Lu Shu stared at the clothes aired on the veranda as she could hardly believe that this little girl also had such a wish.
This girl was very mature compared to children her age, otherwise she would not have helped Lu Shu in her egg selling business.
Although Lu Xiaoyu did not openly reveal it, Lu Shu knew clearly that since they relied on each other to survive, she always wanted to do something for him and did not always depend on him to take care of her.
A relationship in which one party always gives while the other always receives will not last long.
Both were poor orphans and they knew very well how cruel and cold this world was.
"Xiaoyu, if you become a metahuman, what do you want to do?" Lu Shu curiously investigated.
"I might .. will get the money. Then I will go shopping and finally, I will find a place to stay," Lu Xiaoyu replied after thinking for a long time.
Lu Shu smiled as it was the same answer he had told the little boy this morning. This was probably the reason why the two of them were injured together.
Currently, he had around 3000 distress points and it might be time for him to continue his research on this system.
Lu Shu originally planned to continue the consumption of the refreshment fruit and after each of them ate it, he would practice heavenly powers to see if there was a change in the speed of activating it.
Only the answers to these questions would clear his mind: Is there a connection between his proficiency in abilities and the Fruit of Refreshment? What role does his prowess play in his ability to practice his strength and does prowess really form the basis of one's strength?
Lu Shu understood that this world was unfair and after eating two Refreshing Fruits, his talent for abilities could probably be what others had when they first started.
But because he knew of such injustice, he could make extra efforts to fight for whatever he could get.
While the others were sleeping, he was out selling eggs.
While others wake up at night playing games, she is out working as a waitress at a BBQ shop until 2 a. m. in the morning.
All these events are not important, the outcome is important.
Lu Shu went for the lottery wheel again and got nothing from the previous ten tries, he felt better prepared about what could happen next …
However, something he never expected happened. This lottery system actually gave him three pieces of Refresh in a row without a single failure!
At this point, Lu Shu's hand shivered as he did not dare to continue with the lottery. This damned probability level was something he had experienced before and he had already learned from it. He understood how difficult it was to win prizes consecutively from this lottery.
Slowly ... slowly, Lu Shu finally came to the conclusion that he did not need to pass the risk anymore since he already had three Refresher Fruits on hand. Wouldn't it be fine to use the remaining 2,700 distress points to redeem the Heavenly Fruit, why go through trouble just to add to his own suffering. . .
Lu Shu took out one of the Refreshing Fruits from his system and this red-colored fruit was coated with a layer of crystal-clear honey. Consuming it, the fruit actually has no taste but is able to provide a sense of comfort directly to a person's body. This sensation is even more direct and intrinsic than it feels.
The previous time Lu Shu practiced his celestial power, he estimated that 15 days of training would produce an effect similar to consuming a Heavenly Fruit.
Thus, using this estimation as a reference, he would use this opportunity to gauge the positive effect that the Refresher Fruit had on its ability to train its strength.
After eating the fruit, Lu Shu returned to the room to sing a lullaby softly. If Lu Xiaoyu heard that, wouldn't she die from laughter?
The moonlight felt like a sprinkling and there was no snow or wind outside. However, the starlight looked like snowflakes as it quickly descended from the sky.
Lu Shu looked up and saw that starlight had connected to him in the darkness, with a scene that resembled a large spiral galaxy.
While Lu Shu was directing light towards the third star, he was suddenly very happy to know that the speed of starlight was much faster than before.
If he needed 15 days of practice before, it had been reduced to just 9 days now!
Of course ... .. of course!
Lu Shu found it hard to suppress his excitement from within. If he could continue to increase the speed of training his ability, it would reach a point where it would not delay his training speed even if he did not have any more distress points.
During this time, the Heavenly Fruit and his own training would complement each other to increase the speed of his ability's progress. Perhaps, the time in which he would complete the first nebula and become an E-Class was not too far away!
While everyone believed that Lu Shu would never become a metahuman; and when his classmates could only discuss this matter and not really awaken their power, the, he had already opened a higher level!
After eating other fruits, 9 days have been reduced to 6. As he looked up once more, Lu Shu could see that the rotating galaxy had been speeding along with the descending starlight which seemed like a torrential rain now.
After another one, the 6 days were reduced to 2. The spiral galaxy suddenly let out a bright burst of light, resembling an actual nebula!
With each fruit of refreshment he ate, the spiral galaxy formed faster and his body's speed accumulated that starlight also became faster.
Up to this point, Lu Shu had undeniably confirmed what effect the Refresher Fruit had on its ability to ability. Maybe it's something that can really change one's foundation.
From just two days of practice, he would be able to obtain the effects of the Heavenly Fruit. He's become big. At this stage, the Refreshing Fruit was probably the one he needed the most.
Lu Shu felt that he needed to slow down and even if he wanted to continue with the lottery, he would have to wait until tomorrow. There was a moment of silence whenever something significant happened and Lu Shu felt that she should use this time to calm herself down from the rewards tonight.
It was not confirmed that something shocking would happen all the time during training and he needed to get into the mood for him to withstand the stupidity and loneliness of training.
This type of power was considered an F-Class and in this class, everyone only had brute strength. However, if Lu Shu could break through to the E-Class, would he possess such overwhelming power as an element-type metahumen?
Perhaps every person who practices their strength is the same because it is claimed that if one wishes to reach a higher class of metahuman appraisals, he will be able to possess unwavering abilities. If so, what would his future strength be like?
Lu Shu was filled with hope as he waited for the future.
