Chapter 197: 197、Is He Laughing at Us?!(Part 2)
To Lu Shu, his actions previously did give Lu Xiaoyu some doubt . For example, why swap the test tubes back to their original positions when they had already swapped it successfully?
This was because the old man advised them to swap the test tubes, and if the soul puppet was revealed, even if the test tubes were swapped successfully, the old man would know that the soul puppet had something to do with Lu Shu!
If the soul puppet went over right after the old man had just said the test tubes had to be swapped, it would be ridiculous to not be able to draw the link between Lu Shu and the soul puppet .
Lu Shu did not think that the old man would miss this point out . After all, in this world, there was a price to pay for underestimating someone .
So Lu Shu would rather swap the test tube back and ask the old man for help than to reveal the secret of Lu Xiaoyu and him . He did not have the slightest tinge of regret .
As to what will happen after this, Lu Shu had no idea . He could only wait as he had no idea if others would draw a link to him .
The crucial thing was that he had no bullet wound and everyone knew that he was a strength type metahuman .
This time, his identity as a strength type metahuman protected him once more .
This incident gave Lu Shu a warning: to never underestimate heroes of the world .
He was just a high school student and when up against more experienced people, he would be extremely disadvantaged .
If he could do it again, Lu Shu would definitely be more meticulous in his planning and be more careful in the execution .
He had to learn, even if it meant enlisting in a military school . As a common citizen, he had much to learn about battles and strategies as he had almost no contact with such stuff at all .

Unless he was a class B or a class A, he had to make full use of all resources available to him and prepare himself well .
Lu Shu never felt that knowledge was useless . People who thought this way, to him, were the true idiots .
. . .
At this moment, Li Yixiao was already standing at his office . The entire building was cordoned off by the heavenly network and Li Yixiao stood in front of numerous practitioners, frowning .
Someone broke the silence, "There's nothing here, why would anyone break into this place?"
"But we can't eliminate the possibility that although we know that there's nothing here, the other party might not think this way . After all, this is the training ground for daoyuan class . It's likely that outsiders do not know the situation here . " One person analyzed after some thought, "Look, take that class D strength type criminal for example . We might think that his actions were incredibly stupid, apart from robbing the bank, his escape route was not well planned . He avoided the capital and came here instead, thinking that there would be more law enforcers there . This was a huge mistake, but a logical one, as more of us would likely be situated in the capital . He didn't know that most of us would be situated at Luo Cheng instead . This is the result of not having correct information . "
This possibility definitely existed . With the discreet handling of information by the heavenly network, the public and commoners were clueless about many things and it was likely that they might commit stupid mistakes .
Some people might think that they were extremely powerful or even invincible after they awakened! But in truth, there were countless people who were much stronger!
It had to be mentioned that information was especially useful . In today's world, there was not much difference between not having information and being blind .
Someone turned and asked, "Heavenly King Li, is there anything special in your office that might tempt people into breaking in to steal?"

Li Yixiao frowned and pondered for a long time . In actual fact, he was a bold and cautious man, a point which was exemplified during his incident with the spies in the remains . He thought of something suspicious, but he was not really willing to follow up on his suspicions .
But this incident was quite major . The act of breaking into the school was definitely intolerable . Moreover, a guiding principle of the heavenly network was to be in control and not allow any unregulated force or organization to be lurking outside .
Li Yixiao then pointed to the test tube on his table, "Check if there are my thumbprints on this test tube . "
If his thumbprints were not there, it could only mean one thing: Someone swapped the test tubes .
The surrounding people were confused, "Isn't this just a blood sample of a student? Who would break in for no reason just to swap the blood sample?"
Li Yixiao remained collected, "This is just a guess and I have not eliminated the possibility of the other party breaking in purely because this is my office and thinking that there might be some magical instrument or sorts . What you guys mentioned might be correct but hey, there's no harm checking . "
Lu Shu probably did not expect Li Yixiao to be so meticulous and cautious as his usual loud demeanor did seem to suggest otherwise .
Someone came over with gloves and collected the test tube as well as Li Yixiao's fingerprint sample for further testing . Not long after, a message returned: Li Yixiao's fingerprints were present, and they were the sole fingerprints there .
Li Yixiao was relieved . From his heart, he did not want to think that this incident was related to Lu Shu, but only through evidence could he confirm this fact .
He then said merrily, "What a dumb thief . Are there anymore clues? Everyone, come together and let's have a meeting to analyze the situation . "
"Yes . The security guards have video recording devices equipped on them and we have sightings of the perpetrator in the footages . We can take a look," One of the practitioners said, "The only clue we have now is the footages . That metahuman was hit by a bullet, but there doesn't seem to be any trace of blood left behind . We have never seen such a metahuman in our records and have no idea what actually happened . It could likely be a new type of metahuman . "
"Let's go take a look," Li Yixiao led the group to another classroom . The footage was then broadcasted by a visualizer in the classroom .
The footage was short as only the specific encounter was presented . The footage started from the point when the patrolling security guard encountered that black figure all the way until he was knocked out .
Initially, everyone thought that they would be able to see some concrete details such as the appearance of the other party or what he was wearing, but it was all rather underwhelming in the end . His facial features were a blur and it was hard to make anything out . He was also laughing constantly!
As for his clothing… he was not wearing anything at all!
The other party never spoke in the footage and the only words came from the security guard .
"You… you… where are you from, metahuman! Why… why aren't you wearing any clothes!"
"Hands on your head and stand against the wall!"
"You… why are you laughing, stop laughing!"
Everyone was deep in thought . Just then, Li Yixiao sighed suddenly and everyone's gaze was fixated on him, anticipating what his thoughts were .
Li Yixiao then stroked his chin, "yeah, why was he laughing…"
He then broke out in a huge rage, "Was he laughing at us?!"

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/

Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.

While this is now tagged romance, it’s not a healthy one! Who knew throwing in with the first core to pay you any attention wasn’t grounds for a healthy relationship… While I plan to keep things light, ‘two impulsive power hungry users have to work together’ is kind of the backbone of this story.
