Chapter 57: Liu Li's Ambition
After selling his rotten tofu, Lu Shu went to school. When he arrived, the class had already started and he felt excitement in the atmosphere. Instead of an unmotivated appearance as usual, everyone was busy discussing something.
Lu Shu thought that he must have missed something important.
He asked his desk, Jiang Shuyi, who was reading a book, "What are they talking about?"
Jiang Shuyi secretly took out his phone and showed Lu Shu a video.
The video was an advertisement from a leading overseas sports brand. In the video, there are 11 people playing a football game and all of them seem to have special abilities, playing this game with all sorts of beautiful techniques.
This leading overseas sports brand has hired 11 metahumans to appear in their ads!
The ad ends with the words – 'nothing is impossible'.
Yes God . Lu Shu was stunned. He was too busy discussing training methods with Lu Xiaoyu the night before followed by his regular evening practice and in the morning, he was outside selling rotten tofu. He had no time at all to surf the internet and who knew such an incident would happen.
The content and the last words of this ad emphasize only one point. That's right, with the emergence of metahumans, nothing is impossible anymore.
While the local situation is still conservative, foreigners have started using metahumans as part of advertising!
He returned Jiang Shuyi his phone, took out his own and started surfing in online forums. Everyone is talking about advertising.
In fact, there are other similar but not exaggerated basketball ads like this that explain why the topic is not as heated as the discussion.
In the ad, a metahuman power type is shown jumping from the court's midline and dipping.
The scene was ridiculous. Previously, no one could think such a feat was possible but now, metahumans could.
Lu Shu suddenly realizes that the two ads represent the way metahumans are absorbed into the society — their commercial value.
It is proven that foreigners are better at capitalizing on metahuman commercial value. Striking while metahumans are a hot topic around the world, they let these attention-seeking metahumans take center stage.
On the forums, everyone comes up with crazy ideas like whether the NBA this year will be dominated by metahumans!
And from now on, the Olympics will be the stage for metahumans too!
There is some truth to this. Based on Lu Shu's enhanced body, even if the Olympic gold medalist was twice as good, he would still run slower than her.
In badminton, if a normal person is faced with a metahuman, there is no doubt that waking up will sweep the floor with his opponent.
The emergence of metahumans may not have led to war at all.
But Lu Shu thought of something else. Each country has about 100 thousand metahumans and is it possible for all of them to settle for earning money this way?
Probably not . Not everyone is so peace loving!
Based on this, Lu Shu leaned towards the black mantle method of prioritizing the stability and security of the country over wealth and prosperity.
This will never happen locally. Be it metahumans or trainees, they were all under the control of a black coat.
But someone did mention that in their Daoyuan class, there were cases of large corporations recruiting metahuman students. Some A-grade talent students have leaked his abilities and were offered an attractive deal by a large company. As of now, Daoyuan's class secrecy regulations only prohibit the sharing of content taught in the classroom, but do not mention anything that is against sharing about your own strengths as well as having any form of employer-employee relationship!
Not only class A trainees are targeted. From class A to F, those big companies don't seem to discriminate and some are recruited as spokespeople while others, as bodyguards.
Among metahumans, a special type has appeared. These metahumans have better brain power and are as good as calculators. All types of large companies consider it a resource to be acquired but it is very rare.
This feeling is like when the internet first started to become popular and it is the main topic of almost any conversation. Everyone wants the experience of using the internet. . .
This is the metahuman age. It seems like the norm for every company to have at least 1 or 2 metahumans with them.
Lu Shu did not understand one thing. Although governments have become more humane and tolerant when dealing with social issues, why do they allow metahumans, this kind of precious resource, to be taken from under their noses?
By the way, Lu Shu had no interest in being in the limelight as the saying went, 'the ones in the lead usually bear the brunt of the attack'.
If he became part of the advertisement, when the day of chaos arrived, everyone would know about his strength and his profits would be lost.
In the forum, a new topic began regarding the pros and cons of enlightenment.
Pro says that metahumans can further improve society, accelerate the process of science and production, and provide lifestyle entertainment.
The cons mainly talk about the fear of metahumans abusing their abilities.
Lu Shu was more concerned about the cons. The opinion is that there are definitely bad guys out there and most metahumans also have a sense of superiority.
While Lu Shu was still reading the forum, Jiang Shuyi was curious, "What do you see?"
"Forum! I'm interested in what others have to say about metahumans and it seems like some of their information is quite accurate" Lu Shu explained.
"Send me the link. I also want to read," Jiang Shuyi asked.
"Sure," Lu Shu replied. He was surprised that Jiang Shuyi had never read the forum.
At this moment, class representative Liu Li walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down beside Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu. Lu Shu was confused and wondered what he was doing.
"Let's get it done," Liu Li said, "My family owns the company and after some discussions with my father last night, we were interested in signing an agreement with some metahumans. You will be paid monthly income and in other words, we want to recruit some metahumans as our employees. "
Lu Shu was upset. Does he think metahumans can be recruited just like that? Metahumans willing to become bodyguards were already in the minority and not to mention normal employees. He must be kidding. Lu Shu felt that Liu Li's father could be serious in recruiting metahumans but somehow heard it from Liu Li, it all seemed like a joke. . .
After saying those words, Liu Li looked at Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu with serious faces.
"Ahem," Lu Shu cleared his throat, "Your serious appearance, it looks so fake …"
Liu Li, "???"
"From Liu Li's distress, +377!"
