Chapter 42 — What's wrong with this world

Lu Sheng sat at his desk, browsing information on the internet.

After receiving the official Level 2 Martial Artist certification from the Martial Arts Association, Lu Sheng found that he could log into a website called “Martial Artist Home.”

This website detailed the various powers official martial artists held.

Beside the monthly allowance that people envied, the official artists enjoyed many other privileges.

For example, martial artists and their families did not need to queue up when going to the hospital, and they could enjoy special discounts when buying houses and cars. Their children also received extra points when applying for schools and taking college entrance exams, etc.

And there were also the obligations that martial artists needed to fulfil.

Which was only one. When the country was in need, the official martial artists needed unconditionally respond to the call and head to the frontlines for battle.

In addition to information, Martial Artist Home provided many other services. Its main business was to provide a wide range of services to martial artists, such as selling a variety of “martial artist only” potions, supplement, weapons, and other materials.

There were even online classes that taught martial arts, but one had to pay to watch them.

“The permission martial artists have varies with the levels. The higher the permission, the higher content and resources they have access to …”

Lu Sheng turned off the website and said to himself, “This is similar to the Fireseed Repository.”

He had the crystallized wisdom of the entire human martial civilization of more than 10,000 years, this so-called Martial Artist Home was really of little use to him.

He wouldn’t use it unless necessary, and he needed it to answer some of his queries. But if even the Fireseed Repository didn’t have the information he was looking for, it was impossible for it to be here.

Lu Sheng stood up from the computer and dragged out a small wooden box of one foot square from under the bed. This box contained some of Lu Sheng’s memories. The toys that he played with when he was a child, confession letters from his female classmates, old photos and so on.

Now Lu Sheng used it to fill it with medicinal supplements.

He opened the box to find twelve neatly placed vials, of which eleven were empty.

Lu Sheng took out the last vial. The light green liquid looked like flowing emerald through the sun's light.

Lu Sheng pulled off the cork and drank the liquid from the vial in one go.

“The last one …”

Lu Sheng felt the gradually surging hot flow in his body and silently started to perform the starting posture of "Stellar Body Refining Technique".

“Got to prepare another batch of supplements.”

Lu Sheng had the money from Xiao Yuhe, who had given him a million yuan as a bonus, the monthly allowance, and the “title fee” remitted by the Red River Martial Arts Academy.

For the time being, he no longer needed to worry about the money to buy medicinal supplements.

He could even afford the machines that were required to blend the medicines ingredients to creates potions and other medicinal supplements.

…

"How come you suddenly want to go to Shuhai City? Shuhai City is not bigger than our Baihe City. What things do you have to buy there …" Zheng Yufen rambled on as she was packing Lu Sheng’s things.

Lu Hai sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, looking at his child, whom he was most proud of, and said, "Oh, he has grown up and has his own plans. Why do you care so much about him? Just let him go."

Zheng Yufen nodded and said, “It’s good to go out for a few days, to get away from the wind …”

These days, Lu Sheng’s family had become the “star family” of the whole neighbourhood. They didn’t know how many people visited them every day.

Even when Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen were walking on the street, they would be stopped by people who would praise them or ask for advice.

At first, Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen enjoyed it, but they soon became overwhelmed. Now Zheng Yufen was even afraid to go out and buy groceries.

Lu Qinghe was in a similar situation. As soon as she entered the school, she would be surrounded by the whole school who wanted to know more about Lu Sheng, the famous martial artist genius.

This had become a daily occurrence for her. Every day, she received requests for Lu Sheng’s autograph, or asking him out for dinner, or to hand Lu Sheng confession letters. Just the confession letters were enough to fill a whole drawer. With her cell phone inbox always showing 999+.

Even, Senior Sister Yang Yuan began to consciously or unconsciously ask her about her brother’s affairs since yesterday.

“What the hell is wrong with this world!”

Lu Qinghe sat at the dining table and took a bite of the bread in her hand, sadness flowing in her expressions.

In just a few days, her brother, who only knew how to skip classes and sleep every day, had become a martial arts genius and the star of the city.

And his genius sister, who was always seen as an example since she was a child, had become a pathetic little girl that no one cared about.

If even his family was treated like this, let alone the party concerned, Lu Sheng.

This was also one of the reasons why Lu Sheng was ready to go out today.

“Okay, I’m heading out, if I dally any longer, I’ll miss the bus.”

Lu Sheng pulled the zip of the suitcase and said to Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen, "Mom and Dad, I won't come back after I finish my business in Shuhai. Chairman Xiao said that the induction ceremony will start in two days, so I’m afraid I won’t be coming back for a while.”

“How long will this training go on for …”

“About a few months, I’m not really sure …”

Duration of the training camp could vary. It would sometimes be short, while other time be long. Xiao Yuhe had told him that the longest the training camp went on for was a half a year.

“Then you have to be careful out there alone, pay attention to the climate. Do you have enough money on you? Do you want to bring a few more sets of clothes with you? …”

Zheng Yufen had a worried expression on her and kept nagging.

After staying back for a few more minutes, Lu Sheng went out.

Before leaving, Lu Sheng saw Lu Qinghe sitting at the table, eating breakfast in a sulky mood. He couldn't help but walk up to her and rub her head hard. "I'm leaving. Remember to listen to Mom and Dad at home, study hard, and stay out of trouble …"

To his surprise, Lu Qinghe didn't argue with him this time. Instead, she softly replied with an "Oh".
