Chapter 281: C-Grade! (Part 2)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
While Lu Shu was strolling in the forest, he suddenly received a large sum of distress values…
He did not care what the rest thought but in the future, he would just say that he got lost while chasing the cheetah which fulfils his portrayed image since he joined them: crazy, well-abled, experienced and extremely daring.
To be honest, Lu Shu found acting alone more enjoyable as when he followed the team, he could only passively wait for animals to approach them but since he left, it was different. He could attack them!
Whenever he saw an animal, he would immediately pull out his spear, subdue it then pull out a tooth. This was his set of standard actions.
The amount of distress values Lu Shu had with him were not just enough to light up seven stars. After another few more days of activities, he could definitely make the first star of the third level of Nebula. What a great feeling.
He found a giant tree and sat down, beginning to trade for celestial fruits!
As he was with the group that few days, he did not have the opportunity to break through the second level of Nebula. It was as uncomfortable as being unable to redeem a $5 million-worth lottery!
320 thousand distress values was equivalent to 320 celestial fruits.
Looking back, the first level of Nebula begun with only single-digit worth of celestial fruits yet the first Nebula on the second level already needed 10 of them…
Then would the third level of Nebula have a starting requirement of 100? If it was so, then he really needed to continue sourcing for a greater supply as even if he could have enough for the third level, what about the fourth and higher levels?
He also did not know if anyone could produce more than 1000 distress values. If it was not possible, then he had to think of something to increase the number of people…
Lu Shu happily ate each and every one of his celestial fruits.
320 celestial fruits. The only time Lu Shu ate heartily was last year when he brought Lu Xiaoyu to a shopping mall basement to eat at a conveyor belt hot pot buffet. He felt that buffets were the best for Lu Xiaoyu and himself. However, it cost the $49 per person and since then, they had never been there again as they felt it was too expensive.
When they ate and left, the cashier looked at them oddly.
At that time, to some people $49 do not mean much but to Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, it was their entire week’s food allowance.
Recalling about their tough times, the corner of Lu Shu’s lips rose to a smile, thinking where Lu Xiaoyu was.
After eating 320 celestial fruits, they will evolve into celestial energy, gather in Lu Shu’s body like in a galaxy then be received by the celestial map.
As though a black hole appeared in the galaxy, all the stars would be spiralled into the hole.
Lu Shu watched the seventh star slowly brightened up as the celestial energy in him was activated once more. If the day before he could only use The Corpse of the Dog seven to eight times, then at that moment, he definitely could use it at least seventeen to eighteen times, and for a longer time.
At that moment, Lu Shu finally became a C-grade powerful metahuman, no longer a fake one but a real C-grade powerful metahuman!
However… Lu Shu waited for some time but still felt as though something was still missing from the celestial map!
Something was not right. Why was it unlike the first level: all the stars surrounded the seventh star while it became a stellar and the others became planets then the seventh star condensed into the sword of seven souls of instinct.
It did not make sense that after the first level, the second level would be different.
Lu Shu chose not to believe something was amiss. He redeemed another 10 celestial fruits worth of celestial energy but the celestial energy from these fruits did not help him open the third level. He only entered the celestial map and floated around without entering any Nebula.
Lu Shu was shocked. He always thought he would not meet any setbacks throughout his practicing journey and he had to do was eat some fruits.
In the end, he reached a bottleneck at the second level of Nebula and was entirely clueless… Where did this bottleneck come from, how should he overcome it? He had no clue.
Lu Shu tried very hard to recall the situation when he broke through the first level of Nebula as he wanted to find out what he was missing but after trying for an hour, there was no reaction!
Oh no, would he be stuck at the second level of Nebula?
Suddenly, crystal-like light rays shone around him. Lu Shu was shocked and wondered if the celestial was undergoing some changes. In the end, he looked towards his side and saw the weird trees beside him brighten…what was going on!
He stood up and admired these weird trees in detail. When Lu Shu realised that they would not attack him, he even thought that these trees were quite lovable and beautiful.
Undeniably, with these weird trees shining, the forest in the night was brighter than during the day… if only these weird trees could provide him with distress values, how great would that be?!
His previous aim of reaching A-grade no longer seemed practical as he was stuck at the second level and his second sword of seven souls of instinct was also missing.
Lu Shu laughed bitterly. This was the drawback of acting alone as he had no previous experience to refer to.
He continued to walk into the forest. Lu Shu felt that the only way to console himself at that point in time was a bunch of little animals gathered at an empty ground…
In the end, after walking for what seemed like half a day, he did not see a single empty ground. Lu Shu was depressed…
Just then, Lu Shu suddenly heard some rustling sound from behind which seemed to be left behind by animals moving in the forest.
Lu Shu was surprised at what was happening. Was there really an animal in the forest that could pass through it alone at night? An animal with no magical energy?
He climbed up a tall tree quietly, hid within the dense branches and observed the situation below him.
Initially, he was nervous but when he saw what walked into his sight, he froze completely…
It was a walking tattered linen cloth with gold thread sewn on it… Lu Shu was puzzled. Wasn’t that Li Dian’s treasure?!
The tattered linen cloth wrapped around the person under the tree. As it was not considered big, the person could only squat down and slowly adjust it… so at first glance, it looked like a walking tattered linen cloth…
Lu Shu suddenly recalled the unique characteristics of this cloth. Was it the ability to isolate magical energy? Lu Shu did not know to cry or to laugh as who knew this tattered linen cloth could be so useful in the relics as it could hide people from the weird trees!
He suddenly roared ferociously, “Who is it that invaded my enchanted forest?”
He saw the cloth shiver intensely…
“From Li Dian’s distress, +999…”
