Chapter 35: Metahumans Don’t Need Sleep

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At this point, Lu Shu had a total of 8000 distress points available to him.

Lu Shu might not have cash and didn’t live a lavish lifestyle, no car, and even buying a bag of fries for Lu Xiaoyu came after some heavy calculation. He even had to think when buying sweet potatoes.

Most people would think such a person was really pitiful, but Lu Shu was very happy. Every dollar and cent was earned through his sheer hard work. He didn’t have any huge capability when it came to earning money. He and Lu Xiaoyu stayed alive through his hard work in cooking eggs. Despite all that, he was still a very happy person.

Except that he would feel some unease occasionally. This was probably due to him not being sure about his future. If he didn’t have business, he might struggle to even afford rent.

If…

So many things which weren’t certain caused him insecurity.

However, these 8000 distress points gave him a massive sense of security, and it suddenly felt like he was at ease.

This feeling was peculiar. He was, in fact, a very poor student but he felt especially rich all of a sudden…

Just when everyone was hoping to enter Daoyuan class, when everyone was waiting eagerly for the name list, he was looking forward to it as well.

Lu Shu wasn’t a saint. He was just an average teenager and having so many people belittle him, to think that he definitely couldn’t awaken, he really didn’t enjoy that feeling.

Why? What makes all of you think that you have a chance to awake but not me.

However, he couldn’t reveal himself on impulse. That’s why he hoped that he could enter Daoyuan class at this time, haha, imagine the distress points he would amass from his classmates.

Then, he would be rather joyous and excited, as well as a little lonely.

That also explains that in the past, Lu Xiaoyu would sneak out of the orphanage to visit him, but he would send her back cold-heartedly, which was an act he would always regret.

It was only after a period of time when he thought that he could provide for two people, and he no longer had to send Lu Xiaoyu back to the orphanage.

He also didn’t know when he could ever buy whatever Lu Xiaoyu wanted to eat without any hesitation.

He didn’t even know if there would be markets in the future. Would they sell items that metahumans needed? This way, he could take advantage of the refresher fruit…

Upon the announcement of the name list of the Daoyuan class, the class chat group settled down. Those who were not admitted didn’t have the mood to talk, while those who were selected felt that to chat in the class group felt like they were gloating and being arrogant.

This sort of silence seemed rather awkward. Lu Shu had thought about it, if the metahumans went public, it was likely that there would be a segregation between normal humans and them. It was a segregation that was unofficial, but everyone would slowly lose common topics and eventually separate into these two factions.

Would metahumans exist peacefully with normal humans in future? Perhaps, perhaps not. Who knows?

Lu Shu went onto various forums online with his phone. Although the media was silent, the Daoyuan class was something that everyone already knew.

He suddenly found an interesting post saying that a colleague awakened while being scolded by the boss during a meeting.

However, adults were still relatively more mature. They did not beat up the boss like the incident with Li Qi, but suggested the resignation and till date, the person was uncontactable.

The word uncontactable was fundamental, Lu Shu thought. Could it be that he was brought away by the black coats?

Come to speak of it, what role did the black coats play in all of this.

They formed the Daoyuan class for students, to gather all these people. As for adults, they were brought away immediately?

Could it be that students were more easily influenced, and they could be nurtured and taught?

The word nurture, come to think of it, was interesting. The correct word should be to guide.

And when teenagers suddenly gain powers, they indeed do things regardless of consequence, not knowing the importance of their actions. Adults, in contrast, would think more and have more considerations.

He thought about Liang Che, who performed acrobatics and tried to stay low key after awakening.

And Li Qi? Beating up the form teacher…

And if his hormones acted up and he went to flirt with a girl, wouldn’t it spell trouble for her?

Once awakened, most people would feel that they were the center of the world. To think that in an instant, they would captivate the hearts of all girls was nuts.

Come to think of it this way, it seemed that this was why there would be trouble in society if teenagers awakened…

Of course, all the trouble could not be attributed to just teenagers. Teenagers who awakened, after all, only ate, slept, and beat up their teachers. All minor stuff, and they would only, at most, get into small brawls outside.

Past major crimes in the country definitely weren’t caused by teenagers, but those truly evil people who were sick in the mind.

If those people manage to awaken, the world would be very scary. Who knew what they could be capable of?

Lu Shu was hoping that the topic of metahumans would gain momentum, but he also wanted stability for society, else everyone would get tired.

If he really bumped into those cold-blooded murderers who committed evil sins, will he have to fight them?

Lu Shu thought of an easy solution. Fight if he could, and forget it if he wasn’t a match. Anyway, the black coats were probably much stronger than many people.

He was currently an F class. Any elemental metahumans started off at E class!

Thinking of that, Lu Shu didn’t despise the black coats as much now. They had their risks while carrying out their jobs as well. But nevertheless, he didn’t want to be brought away by them.

His phone suddenly lighted up. Lu Shu glanced at it, and it was a message from Ye Lingling.

He had trained the entire night, and it was 6 am in the morning. His deskie woke up so early? It’s your own problem that you wake up, why send me a message.

He opened the message to see her note: Forgot to congratulate you on being selected for Daoyuan class.

Lu Shu raised his eyebrows and thought there must be some motive behind this. What motive did she have?

“Thanks,” Lu Shu didn’t agitate her but felt compelled to thank her for her congratulatory message.

“You wake up so early too?” Ye Lingling replied.

“I didn’t sleep. Metahumans don’t need sleep,” Lu Shu put down his phone after sending that message.

“From Ye Lingling’s distress points, +199!” Ye Lingling was stunned over the phone. She wanted to ask Lu Shu what was his secret to being selected for Daoyuan class. After all, Lu Shu didn’t seem like a metahuman in any way. If there was some secret, she might be able to get selected as well.

But now you’re behaving like you’re already a metahuman, was there anything else to discuss?

Then she noticed that Lu Shu didn’t reply her anymore…

“From Ye Lingling’s distress, +17, +11, +12…”

…
