Chapter 154: Generous-Li (Part 1)
Li Yixiao looked at Zhong Yutang suspiciously but Zhong Yutang’s undisturbed demeanor showed that he had no fear of this fatty .
The final number of people going down was a little over 300, which was to say that a large portion of the heavenly network was staying to protect the daoyuan students . After all, not anyone could obtain a weapon .
Based on Zhong Yutang’s words, one could not even protect himself without a weapon down there .
Just when Jiang Shuyi was about to follow Lu Shu to the group which was going down, Zhong Yutang suddenly said, "Student Jiang Shuyi, your class is too low, it’s better for you to not go . Stay up here to protect the other students . Follow instructions . "
Jiang Shuyi was stunned and stayed silent . He then went over to the other group rather unwillingly .
Lu Shu felt that something was wrong . It was clear that Jiang Shuyi could fight and he had weapons as well . Why was he not allowed to go? Based on ability, many of the members of the heavenly network were probably not as good as Jiang Shuyi .
And although Jiang Shuyi was unwilling, he did not disobey orders . Lu Shu suddenly thought of an issue . Why did Zhong Yutang point out Jiang Shuyi specifically? Was it because of his brother?
Speaking of which, what position did Jiang Shuyi’s brother hold within the heavenly network . How did he have so much information?
Lu Shu didn’t know .
Following that, everyone regrouped into small teams . Students from every city gathered together and every group had an assigned leader .
Lu Shu was looking from the side when Li Yixiao came over suddenly . Fatty Li was intrigued by all that gold and bling on Lu Shu, "Aren’t you tired from carrying so many watches?"

Lu Shu looked at him expressionlessly, "Nope . "
"What about the gold chains . I’ll wear one for you?"
"Haha . "
"From Li Yixiao’s distress, +35…"
Li Yixiao pondered momentarily . He knew this teenager was different, and it wasn’t with respect for his ability in battle . After all, Lu Shu’s little ability was insignificant compared to his ability as a class B heavenly king .
This difference referred to his ability to earn money .
Actually, Lu Shu sold all his items at a low price . Those spears could probably fetch a few million dollars outside . But would the heavenly network allow him to sell these weapons to anyone outside? Definitely not .
So Lu Shu was selling his idea of exchanging credit for rewards earlier . He was clearly exploiting the loophole . Stuff like fake credit was definitely not allowed but the heavenly network was still a newly built organization and had yet to notice this loophole .
If he handed in everything, the heavenly network would definitely reward Lu Shu . But how much rewards could he get? Before Lu Shu sold his items, he had more than 30 different equipment with him!
Which was why Li Yixiao thought that this kid was rather witty .
He thought before saying, "Do you want to follow me on a big business!"
The heavenly network’s salary was pretty pathetic . Although there were sufficient training resources, once someone reaches Li Yixiao’s level, what he needed was not just training, and he wasn’t like an old man with no yearnings or greed for money .
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, "What business?" he couldn’t believe that Li Yixiao would bring him along to a business, both of them opening a chain of stinky tofu shops?
Li Yixiao glanced over at Zhong Yutang and spoke softly, "There would definitely be other remains . Under the recent magical circumstances, there would be numerous more ancient remains opening . Yuzhou, being the land of rich culture and history, would definitely have plenty . Just think about it, you've already earned so much from this one remain . What about the numerous remains in future? But the problem lies in the fact that you are a daoyuan student . What right do you have to go into remains, isn’t it? But it’s okay, with me Li Yixiao around, there will be no remains in Yuzhou which you can’t enter! And just think about it, you wouldn’t need to go and steal stuff with me around!"

Damn, Lu Shu was really stunned this time . So Li Yixiao had been noticing his methods of making money within this remain and thought of that . In the future, he would bring him into remains and have him do business there?!
This sort of trading business was rather unsightly for a heavenly king such as Li Yixiao to carry out, so he was looking for a business partner? To help him sell weapons?
This thought actually captivated Lu Shu . Let’s not think about whether or not they could obtain anything in the remains . With Li Yixiao around, there would definitely be things to sell . Lu Shu didn’t have this worry as his main concern was entering the ancient remains!
There were too many things within an ancient remain . Apart from weapons, there were a huge amount of fruits and herbs which were worth Lu Shu’s efforts!
This was the most important!
Lu Shu was in deep thought . Li Yixiao asked anxiously, "So yes or no? Say something!"
Lu Shu was speechless . A heavenly king still had to earn money from selling stuff . . .
He then replied softly, "How do we split?"
"We’ll split 9-1 . 9 for me 1 for you," Li Yixiao said sternly .
Lu Shu’s face turned dark immediately, "Heavenly king Li, our ancestors had claimed that people with your name were all very generous . Why are you such an outlier? How could you go against the great expectations the ancestors had for people with your name?"
It was Li Yixiao’s turn to be stunned, "My name? When did ancestors praise my name? Why should I be generous?"
"Haven’t you heard of the pun? Generous-Li!" Lu Shu said with some dissatisfaction . 9-1 was way too unfair!!
Li Yixiao heard Lu Shu’s words and was rather confused, "Did generous-Li mean Li should be generous? Did the ancestors claim that? Don’t think you can bullsh*t me just because I’m uneducated!"
"From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!"
Lu Shu was unimpressed, "5-5 . Haven’t you considered the risk a class E like me is undertaking when I follow you into the ancient remains? Is my normal life worthless to you heavenly king Li?"
Li Yixiao considered upon hearing this . It made sense as Lu Shu’s ability was indeed too low . Although a strength type metahuman couldn’t be considered as simply a class E, the dangers of entering a remain was still rather high . Lu Shu’s words were as if insinuating that his life was not valued by Li Yixiao, which made the latter extremely guilty . . .
"So how do you think we should split?" asked Li Yixiao .
Lu Shu said calmly, "After all, you’re a heavenly king and I would be looking up to your ability to explore the remains in future . As I never liked to take advantage of people, and neither do I want you to lose out, how about 5-5?!"
Li Yixiao was annoyed . Aren’t I losing out?!

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Lord Of The Flora
Gray , the only heir to one of the world's largest companies. And who just gave the test, to find out that his ability is related to plants, is suddenly taken to another world where a goddess Gaia, who claims to be the world itself, tells him that his goal is to kill every human on the planet, to start anew. He of course, refuses. But will he be able to hold onto his conviction as he keeps on witnessing the atrocities that humans can commit? What even are these cultivators? How could one human just kill another based on strength and "strong preys on the weak"? He finds respite in getting to know more women who don’t have such ‘evil’ inclinations, but how long will that last? As he finds out a way to go back to his world, would he even want to go back anymore? The litrpg elements come into play after the 11th chapter. AND there's plenty of comedy and comedic moments in it but i could only add so many genres. NOTE: I have every intention to finish writing this novel in a proper way. Where the story is going, is clear to me. The image is a concept art of a creature from an online rpg game long forgotten. Text added by me using paint 3d.

Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.
