Chapter 337: 337
It was unexpected that there would be hand wash left in the IKEA toilet . Considering the situation at hand, hand wash could be a makeshift shampoo as well .
Honestly speaking, Chen Zuan had never been through this kind of life before, but Lu Shu was calm, “Cultivation brings hardships . If the apocalypse is doomed to befall upon us in the future, there won’t be any hand wash on the battlefield . Getting used to it earlier is good for you . “
Chen Zuan watched as Lu Shu put the money in his pocket carefully after he was done with his hair wash . Hesitantly, he asked, “Lu Shu, it must have been hard for you after you and Xiaoyu left the orphanage, wasn’t it?”
“Really?” Lu Shu smiled, “As long as there’s food and shelter, I don’t think it’s hard . “
But Chen Zuan was suddenly saddened . Some people were born to face the hardships in the world, and Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu encountered the coldest apathy on this Earth, their birth parents abandoning them at the orphanage . A sign that they no longer loved them .
Then, Lu Shu said, “Next time when we go to the remains, remember to bring more friends, especially those with watches . They may easily get a promotion . “
At that moment, it suddenly came to Chen Zuan’s mind that his watch was worth 420 thousand yuan . Instantly, he started to feel sympathetic for himself .
Now, Chen Zuan could see Lu Shu’s second quality . Although life had indeed not been kind to him, he still had the tenacity to live in this world with positivity . It was hard for someone like him to arouse compassion, but it inspired admiration .
“Can I change it into cash? Actually I don’t have much pocket money…” Chen Zuan asked .
“Money hurts friendships! Sleep!” Lu Shu grinned . He then took a pillow and put some toilet paper on top before leaning his head on it .

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199…”
At that time, it was already pitch black in the furniture mall, but Chen Zuan did not feel sleepy at all . His homesickness started to creep in .
…
Finally, the Daoyuan Class geniuses did not manage to find a job as well, though they did have something for dinner . In the end, they ran out of choices and went to restaurants one by one in search for vacancies for hourly workers . However, even low-level jobs like that were not easy to find .
Those employers were clever people, who could see straight away that the students were almost totally inexperienced and could not add much value to their stores . Moreover, they wanted long-term contracted workers . Who would waste their energy on hiring someone for half a month, only to hire another one for replacement later?
Fortunately, however, the lady in the last store was kindhearted enough to let them take away all unsold buns that night . Now, although exhausted, at least their dinner was settled .
Gathered underneath the bridge, the group complained about the hard floor . How does anyone even sleep like that? Without a pillow, they had to rest on their arms! Furthermore, there were cars and trucks rumbling nearby . Not only would they kick up dirt, the noise would keep the geniuses awake all night too .
The Class A aptitude geniuses were suddenly like angels fallen from Heaven . Screw the pub musical performers, screw the white-collar workers, only buns were true and tangible happiness!
There were around one-hundred and twenty buns, which were divided into, on average four per person . Most of them had finished two and decided to save the other two for breakfast .
It was not that they could not sustain through hardships, but that they had never been forced to, until this stage . Human beings’ adaptability was awesome . One who cannot endure destitution is one who was simply spoiled .
However, right at the moment when everybody was tortured by sleepiness and hunger, over twenty people in black suddenly jumped off from the bridge .

Instantly, the air froze in the sweltering summer heat .
With their faces half covered by black masks, the intruders’ eyes were cold as ice . All Daoyuan Class students immediately jumped to their feet but before they could react, the leader curled his lips, “Rob them!”
Like wolves, the men in black attacked . In spite of their extraordinary powers, the geniuses were no rivals for their attackers . Some observant ones noticed at once that there were at least five Class C experts in this group!
Actually, their key strength was in their teamwork instead of their power . Due to their flawless collaboration, the geniuses could not harm any of them .
The students had never encountered such enemies before . Why did so many Practitioners suddenly attack them in the Capital? What on Earth did they want?
In the blink of an eye, the plastic bags in many students’ hands were taken away, together with the buns inside!
And in the next second, everyone’s buns were gone!
Then, the leader shouted, “Retreat!”
Just as how it was described, light come light go . No one could stop them .
The students were both confused and totally frustrated . Now, everybody knew that it was the Heavenly Network’s idea . But why did they rob our buns at night? What for?!
Are they insane? Who the hell suggested that idea?!
I should have eaten all my buns! Now? Great! We’ll have no breakfast tomorrow . Excellent!
Suddenly, all of them began to miss their home . Two girls wept with their arms hugging their knees, “I want to go home! I’m not playing anymore!”
Haha, who are you playing with? Can you afford your ticket back home?
…
Meanwhile, outside the IKEA, Lu Shu and Chen Zuan’s hiding place, a car parked in the distance . Five people in black alighted from the car and all wore black masks .
One smiled, “Is it necessary for all five of us to take down two students? Only twenty-two people were deployed to deal with thirty students there . “
“Don’t underestimate them . The Heavenly King’s own instructions will never go wrong . Inside there, there is a Class C Metahuman of the strength type . Also, flying daggers are not allowed if we are really going to fight . As the only Class C in this team, I can’t even be sure whether I can defeat him alone,” the leader said .
“Is he the newly promoted Major from Luo Cheng? Oh my goodness, it’s him!” one person was shocked for a second .
“Correct . Our objective is to rob all the money he earned today,” the leader replied .
“So where are the two of them?” another person asked .
“According to the Heavenly King, they are sleeping inside the furniture mall right now . “
“Wah, they surely know how to enjoy their lives! At least they are better than those bunch of nerds!”
“Don’t get too used to calling them nerds . Those are all Class A aptitude geniuses . Who knows, maybe one day some of them will become our superiors . “
“Fine, fair enough,” the group approached the main entrance secretly .
However, upon their arrival, a problem suddenly emerged . Lu Shu and Chen Zuan had sneaked in during its opening hours, but now the door was locked . So, how should they enter?
What the…
This was surely a headache . The leader had examined the structure of the mall before they came . But, dishearteningly, he realized that all the windows could only be unlocked from the inside with designated keys . This was the case in most shopping malls, and some windows could not even be opened at all .
The iron roll-up door was already down at the main entrance . But they could not just dismantle it with their flying daggers, could they?
“These two kids…” one person’s head was throbbing, “They certainly picked the right place!”
“Go up the stairs . There’s a passageway leading downstairs!”

Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal. Summary: A spell of arctic weather. A mysterious death. The reading of a will. Strange tracks in the snow. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow accepts his life, such as it is. His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February. Toothy little goblins that are sneaky, vicious, and hungry. Goblins that take a particular interest in Danny. Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.
