Chapter 343: 343
Besides Cheng Qiuqiao, Lu Shu did not manage to find anybody else . In any case, they all had scattered for a living by themselves . Even the most self-esteemed person would understand the importance of survival after two days .
However, Lu Shu was still uncertain about the purpose of the assessment . No one would be so silly as to do something unlawful, while being fully aware that they were being assessed by the Heavenly Network .
Actually, instead of an assessment, maybe it was more of a boot camp to dampen their pride .
And Lu Shu agreed that it was definitely meaningful and necessary to mold those geniuses from ambitious individuals with puny abilities to people who were willing to get their hands dirty in the delivery of optimal performance .
If they were still unable to let go of their “geniuses’ burden” during battles, it would become their greatest flaw .
When Lu Shu returned, Du Xuemei had already left . Seeing Chen Zuan cheerfully counting money beside the road, Lu Shu froze, “It’s sold out? So fast?”
“Haha, take a look at who’s the seller,” Chen Zuan’s nose was in the air, “It’s Du Xuemei!”
“Based on the first half of your sentence, I thought you were walking on air,” Lu Shu said, his face expressionless, “Let’s go . Big money awaits!”
Chen Zuan’s face lit up, “Big money? What big money?”
In five minutes, Chen Zuan grumbled as he picked up stones, “Lu Shu, are you kidding me? You are using your power to make money again even though we already have the starting fund?”
“They said we can play by fair means or foul . Am I not following the instructions given?” Lu Shu was irked .
“I have a feeling that you have hidden agendas,” Chen Zuan had a bad hunch . As soon as Lu Shu came back, he was resolved to perform at the metro station again . It was too abrupt!

They were picking stones all the way to the previous metro station, where the middle-aged man named Wang Xianda still sang there .
The man sang, “Today, an empty shell is all I have, to embrace the golden ages, to hold tightly my freedom in the wind…”
In that instance, he almost stopped when he turned and saw Lu Shu and Chen Zuan . Hold tightly his freedom in the wind? He’d rather hold tightly to himself…
In fact, he was a bit hesitant on his way there the day before . At this metro station, which was the most populated around the region, he would get a fair earning every day . But at the same time, scarred by Lu Shu’s ability to break stones with his bare hands, he surely did not wish to see that weirdo again .
After one day of waiting, Wang Xianda was finally certain that the two kids would not come again . Thus, he had decided to stay .
However, here they were . The sack in the young man’s hands already frightened him .
Lu Shu did not bother to waste his time on the man either . Quickly and decisively, he started his performance…
“Enduring a lifetime of struggle…”
“Ka”
“Confidence can change the future…”
“Ka”
Wang Xianda could not bear it any longer, “Young man, you can’t go on like this! How about we keep a distance between us…”
Leaning against Wang Xianda, Lu Shu smashed another stone with his forehead, “What? I can’t hear you…”
“You won…” Wang Xianda left at once with his guitar and called the police at the same time, “Hello? Police? There are two crazy people at the metro station . A commotion has already started!”
As for Lu Shu, he also planned to get it done fast and leave once they earned 200 yuan .

Admittedly, breaking stones on his forehead was indeed a brainless job and the only requirement was a hard head . His audience too were very horrified to learn that all the stones he used were real…
The pair left immediately once they got the money . Things would become too complicated when the police came…
“Lu Shu, please tell me the truth . What are you going to do…” Chen Zuan frowned . In fact, Zuan was a typical braggart with greater ambitions than guts . He used to boast about his flirting skills, but when Du Xuemei was there, he could not even speak properly .
But he was not always a coward either . Unlike those candidates who almost jumped out of their skin at the Beimang remains, this fellow still had some courage .
In general, he was just a horny little fatty…
Now, he had a feeling that Lu Shu’s ultimate goal was not making money at all . If it were, based on his personality, would he have left at only ¥200?!
With no intention to frighten the little fatty, Lu Shu did not tell him .
At nightfall, Chen Zuan urged, “Let’s hurry . The furniture mall is closing . We’d better go in early to hide first as they have replaced the rooftop door last night . ”
“No rush,” Lu Shu walked together with Chen Zuan on the streets, further and further away from the mall which intensified Zuan’s ominous feeling .
In the end, they walked until midnight . Chen Zuan struggled to stay awake, “My dearest Brother Shu, can we please go back to sleep? Where on Earth are you going?”
“Waiting!” seeing that the time was about right, Lu Shu was elated . Honestly speaking, he was not too sure whether they would be coming or not, but if they did, was it not additional income? The two would run once they got the money, and Nie Ting could not possibly hunt them down over and over again .
At that moment, they suddenly heard the roar of car engines coming from the empty streets behind them . Lu Shu was buoyed, they were finally here!
However, something was wrong . Why did it sound like a fleet of cars?
Within a few seconds, a total of ten black cars emerged into view and screeched to a stop in front of them .
A person jumped out of the first car, a familiar face, Hao Zhichao .
Following that, an average of five to six people alighted from each car . Counting the drivers… There were over sixty people in total?!
Lu Shu drew in a cold breath .
And Chen Zuan almost fainted on the spot .
Sneering at Lu Shu, Hao Zhichao hissed, “Beat him up!”
Among them, everyone was dressed in black with a black mask on their face .
The aggression from the sixty plus people was clearly obvious . They were a group of true fighters! The best of the best in the Heavenly Network!
Suddenly, Lu Shu felt a gush of strong wind, as though all his rivals were riding on the wind to increase their speed . He even sensed a distortion in his vision, as if those people were powerful enough to change the passage of light…
Who knew how many pros among these experts had been training in both cultivation and power awakening…
“Lu Shu, I’m getting nervous…” Chen Zuan shivered .
“Yea, me too…” Lu Shu was almost desperate . Did Hao Zhichao not say that he would only bring twenty something people next time? What happened to trust?
Screw you, Nie Ting!
