Chapter 86: Deal (Part 3)
Lu Shu suddenly thought of his past wish- to buy the house over .
If he could sell two magical stones every month, wouldn’t this wish be fulfilled very quickly?
Since he was a student of Daoyuan class, the origin of his magical stones was not in doubt, so there wouldn’t be any problem with him selling them .
At least it’s better than selling the refresher fruit . Should someone find out about him selling the refresher fruit outside, he would be risking his livelihood .
Lu Shu thought to himself, this was like a sort of subsidy to him from the Daoyuan class!
However, he couldn’t put it this way to Jiang Shuyi . He thought and said, "I want to know the price for the stones first . Training emphasizes on being focused . If I have to worry about my own livelihood and survival, I’m afraid that my take a big toll on my training . "
Knowing Lu Shu’s family background, Jiang Shuyi naturally believed him . Even then, he felt that this was not right, "After selling the magical stones, do you know how much longer and harder you have to train?"
"Wouldn’t there be another distribution next month? You tell me how much money one can fetch me first," Lu Shu felt it would be better to deal with someone like Jiang Shuyi or have him help with his business .
If he really went to the Golden Foundation’s forum to sell, with the nosey and gossipy people there, who knew what would happen?
Jiang Shuyi thought for a moment before saying, "Due to the heavy control of the stones, they are extremely valuable . That’s why each stone costs approximately 100 thousand dollars each . There’s none on the market and the price is dictated by the seller . "
Lu Shu was stunned . It’s worth so much? It can’t possibly be true!
He then thought again . Not a single stone could be found outside, and this was the first time Daoyuan class was distributing it . It is indeed very rare and valuable .
He continued thinking, one small cycle of training would only result in an increase of 100 pounds of strength . It was not very worth it to give up 100 thousand dollars for it . After all, once a star in his celestial map is lit, the amount of strength he would gain far exceeds that .

But… Other people would not think this way .
What if it was someone in the Daoyuan class with a lower aptitude and a rich family? This 100 thousand dollar is peanuts to them! If 900 thousand dollars could allow their child to improve his skills to a Class E, not only would the child be able to practice new skills, he would be able to be the alpha of Daoyuan class and lead it . Why not?
Thinking from this perspective, 100 thousand dollars did not seem as expensive anymore .
"Do you want them? I’ll sell mine to you if you want," Lu Shu said to Jiang Shuyi .
Jiang Shuyi hesitated before replying, "This amount can’t be settled by me alone, wait for me after school . "
Lu Shu pondered for a moment . Jiang Shuyi was right, it would be too extreme if a high school student could just take 200 thousand dollars . At this stage, even if someone comes from a rich family, there were still some people who don’t even spend anything in a month .
He then quickly said, "But we can’t have that price . How about this, you can have both for 240 thousand!"
Since it was something which had a price without the market, it was normal for its price to fluctuate . But this was not the main reason for him asking for that price . The most important reason was that 240 thousand dollars could allow Lu Shu to buy over his house!
Never in his life did Lu Shu save more than 10 thousand dollars . To be able to have 240 thousand dollars suddenly gave him a feeling of surrealism . This felt unrealistic yet it fuelled the hope he had towards life and his future .
The completion of his goals one after another, to build on his life he worked so hard for . If he could buy the house, he wouldn’t be depending on someone else for a roof over his head .
He wouldn’t have to care about anyone’s dirty looks . He wouldn’t have to worry about being chased away . Even if he had to sell tofu for the rest of his life to provide for Lu Xiaoyu, he would be content .

Coughs, those were just passing thoughts . If I could train, I would still train . That way, life would be much more meaningful .
After school when most people had left, Jiang Shuyi made a call in front of Lu Shu, "A classmate of mine wants to sell two magical stones . 240 thousand . "
Lu Shu heard a stern yet posh voice over the phone saying, "Bank number . "
Wow, that was straightforward . Lu Shu gave his bank account number, and Jiang Shuyi ended the call .
Lu Shu passed the magical stones over to Jiang Shuyi, "Nice working with you . "
"The money hasn’t been transferred to your account yet . Aren’t you worried I might rob you of your stones?" Jiang Shuyi asked curiously .
"I trust you," Lu Shu waved goodbye and left . He had to rush to the ATM at the bank to check the if the transaction was through… Leaving Jiang Shuyi dumbfounded on the spot .
Handing the magical stones over directly was a matter of trust, but it was also a sort of doing Jiang Shuyi a favor . After all, he had learned much from Jiang Shuyi during their time together .
240 thousand dollars exactly . Sitting idly in his bank account . As he stared at the chain of numbers on the screen of the ATM, that feeling of disbelief and surrealism resurfaced .
He really had 240 thousand dollars? He and Lu Xiaoyu no longer need to depend on someone else’s roof?
Lu Shu wasn’t considered as very capable . Even after leaving the orphanage, he could only make ends meet by selling his cooked eggs . At that time, he didn’t even have a bench and could only squat beside his little pot while waiting for strangers to buy boiled eggs for a dollar and fifty cents .
In front of his sister, he couldn’t put up the respectable character of an older brother . Lu Xiaoyu was never able to resist the temptation of good food, but Lu Shu always gave in to Lu Xiaoyu’s wants .
Even if Lu Shu continued giving Lu Xiaoyu a better life . . .
But… He was already working very hard . . .
In the past, he used to think that if he became rich in future, he would throw some money at his parents if he ever bumped into them to show how well he was even without their care .
He didn’t think that way anymore . His entire world revolved around Lu Xiaoyu and himself .
Lu Shu, standing in front of the ATM, looked up at the night sky . His celestial map, as if one with the stars above, started consuming the essence of heaven and earth .
He suddenly had a question in his mind . Wasn’t it only Class A metahumans who could communicate through heaven and earth? He could use the stars for training, does that constitute as communicating through heaven and earth?
That night, Lu Shu did not mention the buying of the house to Lu Xiaoyu as he wanted it to be a surprise .
He even went online to check if an underaged individual could legally buy a house . After all, a contract had to be signed .
He then confirmed afterward that underaged individuals of age 16 to 18 could exercise their civil rights to possess a house if they did not depend on the finances of their parents .
He fitted that description exactly . Which orphan had parents? His entire life was built upon his own hard work without anyone to depend on at all .
Since this was the case, Lu Shu was at ease .
Who knew what Lu Xiaoyu’s reaction would be when she finds out that they own their own house . Their landlord used to justify increasing the rent by saying that he would be better off selling the house if the rent stayed the same . Evidently, he had the intention of selling the house .
This was also why Lu Shu had always thought that buying the house was very important, only to be held back by the high inflation of the price of houses .
Luckily this was considered to be a third-tier small city . . .

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment.

However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time?

Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows?
