Chapter 407: 407

Everyone was having difficulty getting their head around the situation . Lu Shu’s performance today was totally beyond their expectation . First off, the all-time slacker suddenly became a proactive hero, and then, he acquired the ability to speak English all of a sudden .

They recalled their past interactions with Lu Shu . Indeed, he had repeatedly acted dumb . Given his talented acting skills, what was he doing in the remains? Hollywood would be a more suitable place!

Coral took a careful approach, “Then, how much do you think is appropriate?”

Lu Shu deliberated for a long moment . Actually, his main target was the gargoyles, and saving lives was only incidental . Thus, it would not be nice of him to quote a high price, but he would feel sorry if it was too low…

Therefore, he replied cleverly, “Up to you . “

Coral’s eyes lit up at the answer . Her eyes were shining, like a sea glimmering in the sunlight .

To her, it was not actually money that Lu Shu wanted . If it was, he would have thrown a huge sum at her directly .

Thus, she thought he was only using it as an opportunity to admit his English abilities, thus making it more convenient to communicate with herself!

In the meantime, however, Lu Shu was pondering whether to make her produce an IOU immediately, just like what Chen Zuan did…

But the sincerity in Coral’s eyes convinced him otherwise . Since she brought up the idea herself, she should be trustworthy, right?

When other people were resting at the campsite, Lu Shu sat on a black stone, arranging his train of thoughts of the current discoveries regarding the remain . Firstly, there was a uniform distribution of Spirit Qi, rendering it impossible to locate the core region .

Secondly, the howling would launch indiscriminate attacks at night .

And thirdly, gargoyles would become less alert after sunset . Lu Shu had suspected the black rocks to be another possible snack for the divine water, but reality showed otherwise…

Although the water was able to corrode black rocks, it would not increase in size . Lu Shu speculated it was due to the absence of the black smoke .

Just when Lu Shu was in deep thought, Coral took a seat beside him . The rock was big enough to accommodate two people . Upon closer inspection, the girl indeed had a pretty face and an attractive build .

A youthful lady in her early twenties, Coral was enjoying the prime time of her life . Both cultivation and power awakening had effects on postponing the onset of aging . Thus, she would have no issues in staying young and beautiful for a few more decades .

There were already posts on the Golden Foundation centered on Practitioners’ and Metahumans’ longevity . It was a serious research project with data gleaned from volunteers of both types, and had reached a bold conclusion that experts of Class B and above could well live beyond a hundred and eighty years . Currently, they had insufficient samples to research on Class A’s .

Lu Shu gave it careful consideration . Truly, the old man seemed increasingly younger ever since the restoration of his foundation . Actually, as someone who had lived for almost as long as a century, Li Xianyi looked only about sixty years old . Who knew if he would become even younger in the future…

What the heck? Maybe they would get to see a new version of the old main in his forties or fifties!

Coral smiled at Lu Shu, “A more formal self-introduction, I am Coral Johnson from Sweden, a Class D Metahuman . I have awoken to the Titan bloodline of the Deities, but we can only find out our true powers after ascension to Class B . Thus, you can take me as an ordinary strength-type Metahuman, though we are slightly weaker . Just slightly . “

In Sweden, 80% of the Swedish population were also English speakers . Hence, it was completely normal that Coral was fluent in English .

But it took Lu Shu a long while to digest the concept of the Deities and the Titan bloodline . Were they not from the Scandinavian myth? And the Ruler of Deities was Odin . In October 2010, there was a new movie trailer for Thor, who was the God of Thunder in Scandinavian mythology .

According to them, Titans were the most primary form of life, from whom the deities were born . However, at the same time, Titans were the deities’ biggest enemy, and a battle between the two eventually culminated in the end of the Era of Gods .

It was said that Titan blood flowed in every deities’ veins . Therefore, Coral’s outstanding physical strength and aptitude could probably be attributed to her awakening of the bloodline . As for which deity she had inherited the power from, it had to wait until she reached Class B .

Following the same vein, then was it true that Northern Europe was currently teeming with strength-type Metahumans?!

It seemed that the Deities were most active in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Netherlands, but information about Metahumans in other parts of Europe was rather restricted .

Coral smiled, “I didn’t manage to catch your name and where you are from . Now’s your turn . “

Lu Shu hesitated . He had never encountered anyone as proactive as Coral, “I’m Lu Mu, from China . Strength type, Class E . “

Coral seemed to have expected better of him . It sounded hard to believe that a group of Class D’s being chased around by gargoyles were actually saved by a Class E .

Now looking back, Lu Shu’s speed was not incredibly fast . But he seemed to have the capability of creating legends .

Many male Practitioners were paying attention to Coral for her heavenly appearance . Hearing Lu Shu admit his Class E abilities, they thought Coral would give up her pursuit of a Class E rookie .

Although admittedly, Lu Shu’s movement just now was pretty awesome, the fact that he was only a Class E could not be changed . Most Metahumans had speculated that their elemental powers could easily inflict harm on Lu Shu, whose magical defense was weak, despite their minimal damage to the gargoyles .

Instead of stronger, they thought Lu Shu’s strength was simply more suitable given the unique conditions here .

However, to their astonishment, Coral could not care less about Lu Shu’s level of capabilities . In her opinion, in spite of her higher level, she could not have done the same as Lu Shu earlier, be it due to the fear of gargoyles or the lack of skills . Thus, she was still impressed .

Others despised Lu Shu for his abilities, but Coral thought otherwise . It was precisely his low level yet skillful movement that made him all the more powerful!

Coral turned to gaze at Lu Shu’s side profile, admiration swelling up in her eyes . She took the initiative, “Lu Mu, could you teach me Chinese?”

Lu Shu mused for two seconds, “200 dollars per lesson . “

Coral, “???”

“From Coral Johnson’s distress, +200…”
