Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 129: Witnessing True Human Nature under Adversity (Part 4)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhao Yu was confused. Did I ask him this?!

He sized up Lu Shu who was in front of him, noticing that although this expert looked dirty and rugged like his own people, he didn’t have a single injury unlike them while his people were rife with injuries and scars.

How strong must he be to accomplish that? Is he really a daoyuan student?

Apart from a small number of tier A aptitude prodigies in daoyuan class who attained methods of training after the mysterious senses chapter, the rest of the students were stuck at the mastery of the mysterious senses chapter.

Everyone had the same thought arising from this: Abilities and skills were not groceries and weren’t given just when they were wanted.

As for how those below tier A aptitude could obtain new skills, no one knew yet.

So Zhao Yu’s doubt and surprise were not without reason. If Lu Shu, as a daoyuan student, was able to wander about the remain unscathed, was he a tier A prodigy?

Class E practitioners would have at least gotten injured even if they didn’t die from the waves of skeletons.

Zhao Yu asked suddenly, “Expert, are you of tier A aptitude?”

Lu Shu didn’t really want to hold this conversation… Everyone already treated him as an expert of experts, how could he claim that he had tier F aptitude?

The Luo Cheng daoyuan student at the side already recognized Lu Shu early on, confused over Zhao Yu’s question, “He has tier F potential and he’s just a class E strength type metahuman…”

Lu Shu stared at him, ahh, what a big mouth…

If it wasn’t for the arm-wrestling incident, he wouldn’t have recognized Lu Shu. In fact, Lu Shu was much more well-known compared to tier B prodigies such as Jiang Shuyi…

“Why are you guys left with this few people?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

Zhao Yu fell silent and a decent looking girl suddenly said angrily, “After you gave them the ax, they actually fought over it! While fighting, a skeleton appeared and chased us for our lives!”

Lu Shu was stunned. Previously, he had left them the ax as he felt it was quite effective and would be of great help to them. Instead, it caused them even more trouble.

Indeed, only through hard times will a person’s character be tested. Common friendships would be proven to be a lie during such a tough scenario.

But Lu Shu didn’t agree that man was inherently evil. Human nature depended on circumstances, weren’t there good people such as Uncle Li and the rest?

Even if he was not to think of uncle Li, there were still people such as Li Xianyi and the rest of the golden foundation who had ideals to uphold peace in the world.

He didn’t think highly of Zhao Yu and his group. Initially, he looked down on them for being cowardly and his disrespect for them was even greater now that they got into a fight over an ax.

But how did Lu Shu know, in this terrifying environment, that Zhao Yu and his company assumed that it was that ax which made Lu Shu seem so inhumanely strong and capable? Only when they obtained the ax did they know that it was not the ax, but the wielder himself was powerful.

But Lu Shu didn’t vocalize his opinion of them. Instead, seeing that they looked weak and skinny, he asked out of curiosity, “How many days have you guys not eaten?”

“Three days…” The decent looking girl said gravely, “We hid here in fear of going anywhere else after escaping those skeletons. Luckily, some of us were holding onto water bottles when we entered the remain or else we would have died of thirst here. We don’t even have water now… As a fellow daoyuan student, could you at least stay and protect us since you are so competent…”

“You’re funny…” Lu Shu broke her sentence off.

A train of thought developed in his mind as he heard her words – Who are you? Who are you to question my values, no one had the audacity to talk about values here alright. Lu Shu hadn’t even started criticizing them for fighting over the ax.

Lu Shu planned on resting here for a night before setting off once more. Since these people had stayed here for two or three days, it should probably be quite safe.

Although he had the energy and vitality to run for a long period, he couldn’t possibly run forever.

Lu Shu sat on an edge, not knowing what to say to these people as he didn’t want to have too much to do with them. At night, he retrieved a green fruit from his back and took one sumptuous bite of it.

Everyone around him noticed it!

Having been hungry for three days, Zhao Yu and his group were going crazy seeing that Lu Shu had food.

Before this, they were guessing what Lu Shu had in that bag of his. In contrast to their skinny and frail selves, Lu Shu was radiating with vitality and he was obviously well fed.

It was now proven that Lu Shu really had food!

Just the sight of him retrieving his food earned him an insane amount of distress points… He was just ten thousand distress points away from lighting up his fifth star!

Lu Shu’s eyes lit up, he could actually earn distress points from this! In reality, he didn’t do it on purpose as he didn’t want to share his food with this group of people. After thinking for a moment, he spoke, “This fruit was picked on the way here. If you guys are fast enough, it will take about two days to get there, but be careful of wolves! Don’t advance anymore after seeing the forest.”

He was willing to tell the group how to get the fruits but wasn’t willing to give them any. How many days could his bag of fruits last so many of them?

It wasn’t just the issue of eating the fruit as he still wanted to bring some home fro Lu Xiaoyu to taste… What a loser Lu Shu was, thinking of Lu Xiaoyu everytime he tastes something delicious …

But these words weren’t well-received by these students. Upon hearing they had to walk up to two days and the wolves, how could they go?! They might not even dare to walk across the soil with skeletons!

Everyone looked at each other. Evidently, Lu Shu wasn’t willing to share his food with them.

That decent looking girl deliberated before going to Lu Shu’s side pitifully, asking him, “Does it taste good?”

Lu Shu replied without thinking, “It’s not bad and it tastes like pear. But it’s finer than pear, sweeter as well. It’s really juicy and eating it feels like drinking a bottle of beverage. It’s really rejuvenating.”

The girl swallowed her saliva which welled up in her mouth and listened in pain, why did you describe it in such detail! Now I’m even more hungry!

“From Li Hui’s distress, +555…”

At this stage of high school, boys and girls were still quite simple. They could only act pitiful and hint for food. Couldn’t she maybe lower her collar or something… Tsk.
