Chapter 19: Day Training

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When Lu Shu had sold almost half his eggs, an old lady and a child came by. It was winter break and the grandma must have brought the child out for breakfast.

The child wanted to eat eggs and his grandma brought him to Lu Shu?s stall, ?You?ve already eaten your breakfast. After this egg, let?s go home to finish your homework.?

?Okay,? the little kid nodded.

As soon as he finished one, the kid wanted more of the delicious eggs but grandma was not happy. It was unhealthy for kids at this age to be eating too much.

?Please granny, eating more will help me awaken!? The kid argued.

Lu Shu was surprised to see such a young kid talk about awakening. ?Just how much influence does this golden foundation?s website have??

Grandma did not seem surprised and attempted to convince the kid, ?Eating too much will make you fat and stop you from awakening.?

Lu Shu could not help but ask, ?Little fella, why do you want to awaken??

?I want to fight for world peace!? The kid replied with a serious look.

?Haha… protecting world peace eh,? Lu Shu said sarcastically, ?That?s really ambitious…?

In reality, most boys turned out just like this from watching too many cartoons. But Lu Shu did not have this opportunity as the only television in Fu Li orphanage was always playing the channel the dean liked.

?Big brother, if you were to awaken, what will you do?? The kid asked.

Lu Shu was stunned. This question was something he had never thought about.

Lu Shu contemplated and replied, ?Probably earn some money first and then travel to the places I want to visit.?

In school, he had always been jealous of his friends who had parents to bring them out to different places to play. He never did and in this whole world, he had only been to Luo Cheng.

Curiously, the kid probed, ?What else??

?Then I?ll find a quiet place to live in,? Lu Shu replied quite seriously as this was his heartfelt words. Thinking about it, watching TV shows and spending everyday messing around with Lu Xiaoyu without any woes or worries was quite meaningful.

?So unambitious! A person like you won?t be able to awaken.? From the kid?s perspective, he already had an upper hand over Lu Shu with regards to their ambitions.

Lu Shu had enough, ?Have you finished your homework, if not quickly follow your grandma back and do so!? He then told the old lady, ?Nowadays you can buy homework answers outside so it?s better to watch over the kid, or else he won?t benefit as much from his homework!?

The old lady was surprised, ?There?s such a thing?!?

The little kid was confused and shocked. Somehow Lu Shu had gotten him into deep sh*t!

?From Yu Li?s distress, +90…?

In the end, the kid did not get his second egg and hurried home with his grandma to complete his homework.

In the meantime, Lu Shu saw a group of his classmates walking past the street but they did not even acknowledge him, as though he was a stranger to them.

This distant relationship with them was just nice as there were no feelings of stress or burden.

It was the first day the adults had gone back to work after New Year?s holiday which gave Lu Shu prosperous business. And the distance to class takes about 20 minutes which gave him more than enough time to go home to put down his stuff and walk back to school.

Back then, he had rented this house because of how convenient it was.

As he returned home, Lu Shu made sure that Lu Xiaoyu had finished the food on the table before he packed his things to get ready for school. He was looking forward to seeing how the people in school were reacting to the incident on the golden foundation?s website.

Even on the roads, he could hear chatter about the awakening incident. Some were just envious and jealous whereas others were speculating about specific and in-depth methods on how to awaken…

These speculations, generally about awakening and related topics, were purely based on the videos found on the golden foundation?s website.

But most of the methods mentioned included receiving some sort of shock that resulted in awakening.

It seemed like there was not a better method.

A huge commotion was brewing in school, although only Grades 11 and 12 had started school at this time of the year.

The golden foundation?s website was never closed down and they even started a forum for discussion. Everyone started to realize that awakening was very real and happening which explained such a commotion.

Especially to those hot-blooded teenagers who were in this rebellious phase where they yearn for nothing but freedom, the awakening was something they all dreamt of achieving.

Awakening meant that they can finally escape the control of their families.

They were not mature enough to have any clue what they wanted to do after they had really escaped from their homes. To them, the awakening was just really cool and something to show off.

As Lu Shu walked on, he suddenly had a thought, ?Can I practice using the map in the day??

Although the stars were only visible at night, it was a modern knowledge that they were just other galaxies in the space.

Not being able to see them in the day did not mean that they were not there.

Lu Shu sneaked into an uncrowded place and sang ?Twinkle twinkle little stars? softly. Indeed, he suddenly felt the map within him start to conform with the sky!

But this time there were no falling stars, only a ray of sunlight which penetrated his body. At the same time, numerous spots of bright lights appeared inside him and started moving towards his heart. Their target was the flame of his heart.

That was strange. So using the map in the day had another effect?

The appearance of this flame, then obtaining the golden paper, followed by this new method of training his map all felt closely related. Did all these happen because of his pendant?

Lu Shu had always wondered who gave him this pendant and what magical secrets were hidden in it.

But he never figured it out. He did not even know who his parents were, where could he start searching?

The flickering white flame did not seem to have changed much, maybe… a little more intense?

Lu Shu felt that the day training must have its own uses. It was less energy consuming than the night one which required him to lead the movement of the stars.

At that moment, Lu Shu was being wary of the people around him but it seemed like no one realized him practicing his powers and he finally relaxed.

For some unknown reason, the abnormalities of his body were very hidden. He was able to detect the waves surrounding Liang Che, a slight amount from the black coats but no one seemed to be able to detect his.

Could it be due to his lack of training?
