Lu Shu gleefully watched the income of distress points and was deeply grateful for this class rep of his. No one else could contribute so much distress points at once!
Maybe it was due to an accumulation of his hatred over time?
Similar to Zhi Wei who constantly contributed +1+1 distress points, but after the second encounter with him, it increased to +2+2… Lu Shu even received a +2 distress points from Zhi Wei this morning.
He pondered and decided to send the class rep another message, only to see a notification from the chat application: Daoyuan class Liu Li had privated his account and you are not his (her) friend. Please send a friend request first and only after the other party has accepted, you can then message him. Send a friend request.
‘Daoyuan class Liu Li’ was the account name Liu Li gave himself. Hehehe, announcing he’s from Daoyuan class so he can boast about himself to others?
Someone on the forums mentioned that recently, there were people doing this to ask girls out.
The last line of the notification ‘send friend request’ was a hyperlink that could be clicked on.
Lu Shu took a deep breath, look, this is the fate of the sheep you captured, all of the wool on the sheep’s body had been pulled out!
As he bitterly reflected on his actions, he clicked ‘send friend request’.
Class rep, don’t be too depressed. Although you’re not that tall, your hairline is really up there!
Liu Li had a pretty face and was dressed fashionably but his height was only 170. This had always been the class rep’s point of weakness.
Liu Li was on the verge of snapping, you still dare to send me a friend request, just what kind of power have you unlocked, I bet it must be something indecent!
He swore to himself that once he rose to Class E, the first thing he would do was to humiliate Lu Shu!

From Liu Li’s distress, +1000!

Hoho, another 1000, are you trying to break him? Gotta stop agitating him or else he’d really awaken…
Lu Shu suddenly realized that under normal circumstances, 999 was the limit but with a bit more push, 1000 was possible too.
This meant that the real limit of each contribution of distress points was 1000.
Lu Shu was expecting Liu Li to block him straightaway. He had tortured that sheep to death…
But the class rep must be unable to swallow this insult so there might still be a chance…
Lu Shu did not care more as buying the house was the current priority.
The landlord was surprised how Lu Shu could have earned the money but Lu Shu said that he was a Daoyuan class student and the landlord dropped his suspicions. From this, it seemed that Daoyuan class students were a really special existence.
This situation only seemed natural as having superpowers would eventually equate to a high status.
In addition, the Heavenly Network had a high standing in the society and there was a high demand for Daoyuan class students amongst the rich people. Prices of magical energy-related items were also surging on the markets and all these were linked to the Daoyuan class.
Lu Shu was also not interested in purchasing magical energy-rich land as he had always stayed in that house. The landlord knew that Lu Shu had always wanted to buy the house but just did not have the money.
The old landlord was a reasonable person and both parties were very understanding. Coincidentally, the landlord’s son had just migrated abroad and the landlord was about to move over with him. Even the landlord’s own house was listed on the market to be sold.
Both parties discussed for an hour and Lu Shu had overestimated the price of the place. Although the location was good, the house was already an old building from the 70s and the housing prices in Luo Cheng, a third class city, were not surging that quickly.
Including the contract tax and furniture, it cost 242k and after some haggling, the final deal was 238k.
The deed was done and in the afternoon, Lu Shu took leave to settle the contracts with the old landlord. Lu Shu only had 1 leave each week and the service center for mediating this exchange was not open on weekends.
Lu Shu planned to settle this by today and also to buy a second-hand phone for himself and Lu Xiaoyu so that they could contact each other.
Buying a house sounded simply but the process was much more complicated. Mainly, there were many documents and items to be prepared.
After a busy day, Lu Shu held the agreement document and walked out of the service center. The process was not so simple and the house deed was still not collectible on the day. As he stood just outside the service center in the evening, he found the sunset in Luo Cheng to be alluring. This was a milestone in his life.
His household register had been changed from the orphanage to this house and once Lu Xiaoyu turned 16, hers would also be changed. Lu Shu was also the house owner, haha, what a great feeling.
Lu Shu excitedly went to the resale market and bought two handphones and one SIM card for Lu Xiaoyu.
Once he reached his own yard, Lu Xiaoyu and Li Xianyi were sitting around a round table doing homework.

Lu Shu, why are you back and what are you holding?
Lu Xiaoyu was curious.

From today onwards, this house belongs to us,
Lu Shu calmly replied but under his stable and unwavering voice were strong waves of emotions.
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment,
Really? Don’t you bluff me, Lu Shu!

Lu Shu raised up the agreement contract in his hand,
Really, I’ll be collecting the house deed in 15 days!

Lu Xiaoyu jumped onto Lu Shu,
You really bought it?! Lu Shu, how did you get the money? Did you borrow it? I’ll stop eating snacks and we can earn money together! I’ll help with the stall!


Haha, you don’t have to give up your snacks. Come, let’s look around our new house.
Lu Shu carried Lu Xiaoyu, who was already clinging to him, along and entered the house. Upon entering, Lu Xiaoyu curiously started touching this and that as though it was a foreign place.
In fact, she had been living here for over a year but… the feeling was different.
In the past, it was a rented place but now, it was their own home.
Although the summer was hot and the winter was cold, this was their home.
Home… They finally had their own home!
Li Xianyi stood in the yard next door as he watched this closely-bonded sibling and thought, in this cold-hearted world, how rare is such a sight?
He smiled,
Xiao Shu bought this house down? I’m envious of your family.

Li Xianyi had been wandering around the world his whole life until his illness struck him which forced him to remain here. There wasn’t any feeling of family as his family wasn’t around.
In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoyu had a scene with Li Xianyi as she wanted to rest but Li Xianyi wanted her to finish the last 10 questions first. How annoying!
Lu Xiaoyi scoffed as she pulled Lu Shu’s hands and entered the house,
Let’s not talk to this senile 60 year-old who can’t even do math questions!

Li Xianyi,
???

We were clearly having a moment!

From Li Xianyi’s distress, +188!
