Chapter 117: Strange Star Tower, Unparalleled Childhood Friend (First update, 5000 points each, a little short)
11/23, afternoon.

The day after killing the Chosen One...

…… (Note 1)

[You picked up your sister in a black long straight skirt and threw her directly into the lake. She screamed and thrashed in the water, shouting what she had done wrong to have you do this to me, and then she drowned. You, a newborn, followed by the normal attack (epic) launched by the Star Tower to protect itself from being hurt by you: Feed the pig with fresh food~……]

[You are dead, this journey is over, settlement in progress...]

[Evaluation: You are still evaluating your mother's evaluation. You have such a lovely sister, why don't you hurry up and play orthopedics? Why do you play on the earth? Taichujuan thinks you are hopeless, you'd better die. ]

[You get the item: Self-severing meridians (epic)]

"How the hell can a pig that eats feed be fresh? Uh, it seems like it won't be full if it doesn't eat feed...

"But the Star Tower seems to be back to normal now. In the three tests today, no matter if I tried to synthesize the doctor's curse and go out to chat with the waiter, or throw the narrow-sleeved Guanyin out to hit people, or I secretly hit the receptionist's butt and interacted with her slightly, it found and killed me in an instant! I didn't have time to cause any substantial damage.

"How do you fight that damn Demon Chosen? You have to wait until it kills a lot of people and I can't even fight it, and then you attack?"

"You come so quickly just because I hit you?"

"That's weird... There's something wrong with its instructions. Is it targeting me?"

Xu Shu touched his chin, washed his hands, and walked out of the public toilet on the side of the road.
My younger sister Zhou Shiyu was waiting outside and looked over calmly: "Are you ready? If you are, take me to school quickly."

She was wearing a black and white plaid shirt and a pleated skirt today, and over-the-knee socks on her slender white calves.

She also fixed her hairstyle, adding some accessories, and picked out small, thin braids on both sides of her shoulders. When she walked, the braids swayed in the long, straight black hair that fell on her shoulders, making her look indescribably youthful and beautiful.

Xu Shu took a look and frowned slightly.

The sun is shining brightly at this moment. It is clearly winter, but the temperature on the ground is at least 35 degrees due to the sun.

My sister has been busy with her adoptive mother all morning preparing for the move back home. With this outfit, I guess her feet must be very smelly, right?
It is now almost three o'clock in the afternoon on the 23rd.

He was woken up in the middle of the night by the inexplicable vibration of his underwear, and found out that the update of the Qingyun Ranking quickly pushed him to the 404th place. After chatting with netizens, he changed the new message reminder back to "Do Not Disturb", and until now, he has tried three of today's journey simulations.

They were all opened in the safe zone, in front of the star tower, and they jumped madly in front of the star tower.

The result, of course, was a miserable death.

"That is to say, there is no problem with the Star Tower itself."

"The problem lies with the 'Unclean One' who holds the title of the Devil's Chosen One?

“I don’t know which school he belongs to, but fortunately, Xingta was just a little slow for a while. They still couldn’t escape the lock after all.”

"A secret cultist... Killing one of these guys will actually reward you with 100 contribution points. This is a pleasant surprise, but it's a pity that it hasn't arrived yet."

Thinking about last night's gains, Xu Shu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Once the 100 points are credited to your account, you can purchase the 'Realm of Virtual Reality' and successfully activate the trading function.

Well, when the time comes, I will pay back the 30 points I owe Song Nian first. As for the rest, I will check the price of Erosion Crystals online. If possible, I will slowly purchase Erosion Crystals to upgrade myself. This is the most important thing.

Secondly, I have to pay attention to the corresponding curse seals. I don’t know if anyone is selling epic curse seals, how much they would cost, and whether they are willing to barter with me...

"Brother, please hurry up, the train is coming soon. If I miss this one, I'll have to wait another half an hour. I also have to go to school to catch up on my homework."

While I was thinking, my sister urged me.

"coming."

Xu Shu walked over and walked with her. Looking at her cold expression that seemed out of place among the other little girls along the way, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Some things are easy to change but difficult to change back. There is always a long time to go.

Today is actually Sunday.

However, for a poor senior high school student, it is normal to go home after school on Saturday at noon to rest for a day, and then go to school early on Sunday afternoon or evening.

The future is promising.

The middle school in the safe zone is located in the southeast direction (5, -3), covering an area of ​​ acres. It is arranged in the shape of a "藟" character. Each building with a clear sense of hierarchy is as high as possible to maximize the use of space in order to accommodate all the students in the safe zone.

This area is fully equipped with necessary facilities such as dormitories, canteens, and school hospitals.

Xu Shu also studied here.

Looking up at his "alma mater" where people were coming and going, Xu Shu's memory became a little dazed.

No matter what, in this doomsday situation, everyone in the safe zone has enough food to eat and can go to school, just like before the disaster. Just based on this point, people can't find any fault with the Administration at all, so it's okay if the taxes are a little higher.

The high school area is located at the north gate of the school. At this moment, there are people coming and going, and students are constantly entering the school.

"I'm going in. Please be careful on your way home, brother." Zhou Shiyu lifted her skirt slightly and bowed politely to Xu Shu. Then she joined the crowd entering the school and went to the school gate to punch in and verify her identity.

Xu Shu watched her go for a few seconds, thinking that after what happened yesterday, it would be safer for his sister to be in school, so he turned around and left slowly.

Suddenly, I heard a surprised voice behind me: "Xu Shu? Why are you here?"

"Ok?"

The female voice sounded familiar. Xu Shu stopped and looked back. He saw a pretty girl, who was about as tall as his chest, standing there.

She was also about eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate features, fair skin, and short hair. She was wearing a tight white dress, revealing her long white legs, and she was standing behind him very brightly.

She was actually quite pretty, but she wore overly bright lipstick, had her hair permed and dyed, and wore expensive, flashing necklaces and earrings on her neck and earlobes, which made her look tacky.

The way she is dressed does not look like that of a high school student who just turned 18. Instead, she looks more like a princess in a nightclub whose selling point is her innocence.

Coincidentally, this person is none other than the neighbor girl, Hu Xinrui, who is considered a childhood friend of Xu Shu.

In the heart of the young and ignorant Xu Shu, she was like the "white moonlight". At that time, Xu Shu was weak and had a crush on her for several years. He felt that she also had feelings for him, but he never spoke up to express his feelings.

Until later, when his adoptive father Zhou Junjie fell ill and Xu Shu's family fell into poverty, and when he saw that Xu Shu found a boyfriend right after graduating from high school, he completely let it go.

Xu Shu is not a person who holds grudges. This is the fate of the world. Everyone's circumstances and personalities are different. He will not hold grudges because of such a small matter.

But after all, they were childhood friends, even if their relationship had faded, but since they had run into each other and the other party had recognized him and called him, Xu Shu casually asked, "Oh, is there something..."

He only said half of the word "ma".

The girl, who was dressed like a white lotus sister, interrupted him with a bit of complaint: "I know, wait a moment!"

"?"

Xu Shu was a little confused.

What do you know?
However, Hu Xinrui stepped back a few steps and faced the back seat of a high-end black car parked on the side of the road. She smoothed her hair and muttered something like "I'm sorry, neighbor's brother" and "I'll take care of it".

This naturally aroused Xu Shu's curiosity. He glanced at the man sitting in the back seat, whose car window was only rolled down a crack. He listened to Hu Xinrui's explanation with an expressionless face.

"Hehe, it's hard to say about this relationship." Xu Shu made eye contact with him.

I couldn't see clearly through the car window, I could only vaguely see that it was a short-haired man with a tall and thin figure.

However, this person is not the same person as Xu Shu remembered as Hu Xinrui's boyfriend when she graduated.

"Tsk, it seems that the rich second generation was also dumped, this one is obviously of a higher level."

If you don't say anything else, just looking at the car, you can tell that the boss in the car is a rich man.

Xu Shu could only sigh that Hu Xinrui still had some skills, but not much.

You are an ordinary person who knows nothing. Why would people want you and spend money to buy you gold and silver?
Isn’t the no-cost business in this world just a ditch?
Xu Shu saw that the man didn't care much about Hu Xinrui and thought that the latter was probably exchanging her youth for a little money and would not get any good results.

But everyone has their own aspirations, there is nothing much to comment on.

Yes, in fact, Hu Xinrui had the tendency to be snobbish since she was young.

When we were young and playing together, she would always be very snobbish and love the rich. She liked to compare who’s father worked in the Police Bureau of the Judgment Department, and who’s mother worked in the research institute.

It was just that Xu Shu was too young at that time and didn't see it clearly enough.

He didn't want to waste his time here, and their relationship was not as good as before. This was her own choice, and he didn't say much.

Seeing that Hu Xinrui had nothing to say, Xu Shu walked away.

However, after sending the financier away, Hu Xinrui hurried over, grabbed Xu Shu's hand and went into an empty alley nearby, "Come with me." - Bang.

She stumbled, failed to pull, and sprained her ankle.

Xu Shu's feet were planted firmly on the ground, and he said calmly, "Don't argue, just talk about it."

Hu Xinrui looked at her hand that he had opened and was stunned for a moment: "You, you haven't been here, waiting for me for a long time?"

Xu Shu looked at her in confusion and said, "What do you mean I've been waiting for you for a long time? People shouldn't be too narcissistic, okay?"

"you……"

Hu Xinrui was choked, looked around, rolled her eyes and said, "Xu Shu, if you are deliberately provoking me in this way and want me to pay attention to you, I can only tell you that you are wrong."

"..."

"I heard that you found a good job after returning from the wasteland, with a good income. Not only did you pay for your uncle's medical expenses, you also moved back home. I'm happy that your family managed to make it through. I'm glad that we can be neighbors again..."

"You're happy too soon."

"???" Hu Xinrui was stunned for a moment, then pouted, "You know you said that on purpose, don't be so childish."

Against the will of heaven. Xu Shu's mouth twitched, but he still asked curiously: "...But how do you know so clearly?"

Hu Xinrui said as a matter of course: "Your sister told me this afternoon."

"Damn, why is she talking to you about this." "Don't change the subject, Xu Shu... You can see that I have a new boyfriend, so it's impossible for us to be together now. Let's be ordinary friends first. You can come to see me, but I hope you won't come to the school to see me like this again." Hu Xinrui said.

what?
No, who came to see you in school?

I?
Do you have erosion crystals on your face, or curse crystals in your stomach? Is it worth my visit?

Xie Xiaochan, who was ranked 38th on the Qingyun List, only allowed me to take a look reluctantly.

Xu Shu opened his mouth and was stunned at first.

But then, seeing the other person's self-righteous expression, it suddenly dawned on me.

——I guess I’m considered a bootlicker, right?

He was too lazy to get entangled with such a narcissistic woman, so he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, just don't bother me anymore in the future."

He was about to leave when Hu Xinrui got anxious and stopped him, saying, "It's not your attitude? Didn't you hear clearly? I told you that you can come find me, but don't stick to me at the school gate. Didn't you hear me?"

Xu Shu was speechless and said, "I heard it, but is there a possibility that you are the one who is pulling me back now?"

A girl dressed so purely and sensually, pulling a tall and burly man along the roadside, naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

Students passing by and parents sending their children to school all pointed at Hu Xinrui.

Hu Xinrui was furious and pointed at Xu Shu, saying, "You still want to irritate me and get my attention."

"Speechless, you are really so outrageous, I don't want to bother with you."

Xu Shu turned around and walked away, but Hu Xinrui was still not giving in. She chased after him and said, "How dare you say you didn't wait for me here on purpose? Your sister told you that I always get off here, right?"

"You really think too much..." Xu Shu sighed, turned around and saw his sister Zhou Shiyu looking at him quietly not far away, with an expressionless face.

But why do I feel like she's watching the show? Sister, look at what you've done?

Xu Shu thought for a moment, pointed at his sister and said, "Do you see my sister? I'm here to take her to school."

"Sure enough, I knew you would say that."

Hu Xinrui chuckled: "Humph, can't I see through your little tricks? How old is your sister that she still needs you to send her to school?"

"?" Xu Shu was stunned by what she said.

Oh, don’t tell me!
This question really stumped him.

He didn't know why his sister insisted on sending him off today. Could it be intentional?
But this matter can only be said that it is difficult for me to explain your question to you, but do I need to explain it to you?

Xu Shu's mouth twitched: "Are you okay? I'm leaving."

Hu Xinrui pursed her lips and said in a haughty manner: "Xu Shu, stop pretending. You moved back here especially for me. I can feel your intentions!"

Xu Shu: “Ah…”

"But if you come over here without saying hello, my boyfriend will be angry if he sees you!"

Xu Shu: “Ah this…”

"Don't do this again next time. I know you have always liked me. Actually, I am interested in you too, but I didn't think it through before. Although I have a boyfriend now, you can't blame me. It was you who didn't live up to your expectations in the past. You can't stop me from finding someone better." Hu Xinrui said.

"Of course you are not without a chance. I can allow you to continue to be nice to me, just like before. Didn't you often give me gifts and treat me to meals? This way, if we break up in the future, I can consider you first!
"Of course, before that, you can't go to find anyone else, otherwise I will be angry. How about it? If you promise me, I can allow you to treat me to dinner tomorrow night - uh, are you listening?" Hu Xinrui put on a delicate and almsgiving attitude.

listen.

I am listening.

Xu Shu's eyes widened when he heard this, and his expression was probably like this: "0.0????"

Allow me to be nice to you? Can you consider me first when you break up? Listen to yourself, is this human language?

If this had happened before, when he was still in adolescence and ignorant, he might have been fooled by this woman's tactics of playing hard to get.

But now, Xu Shu could only say... the reason why he had a good impression of this kind of person in the past was mostly because he was obsessed with the aura of the girl next door.

"Don't be surprised. In fact, you have always had a place in my heart..." Hu Xinrui continued to speak.

Xu Shu sneered and interrupted, "Why don't you stop beating around the bush and just ask me directly if I'm willing to be your backup?"

"Huh? Spare tire?" Hu Xinrui was stunned by the question.

After hesitating for a while, she roughly understood the meaning of the word "spare tire".

After nodding thoughtfully, she asked seriously, "Xu Shu, then I'll give you a chance to be my backup, are you willing? I'm giving you a chance to treat me well, it's a great blessing for you, don't fail to cherish it!"

Xu Shu: “?”

Fuck, I'm sorry, I admit that I was reckless just now and I wronged you.

You are not a green tea, you are really fucking against the sky!

If the Taichu Volume falls into your hands, you are a creator god at least.

This time he really couldn't stand it anymore. After thinking for a while, Xu Shu directly scolded her: "Hu Xinrui, has your mother been brainwashed by a cult?"

Hu Xinrui was stunned: "My mother is indeed a religious person... No, Xu Shu, if you dare to say this about her beliefs, you, you will never be ignored by me again! Unless you apologize to me..."

"Fuck you, idiot."

Xu Shu's last tolerance for this "former childhood friend" finally reached zero.

Seeing that she was still trying to pester him, he simply picked her up and threw her onto the grass in the distance. Then he walked away with big strides without looking back.

"Xu Shu, you bastard..." Hu Xinrui didn't understand what was happening. She just felt like she was pushed and couldn't help but curse in anger.

When she turned around, she saw her classmate Zhou Shiyu, Xu Shu's sister, who she had just met at noon, standing next to her, looking at her quietly.

The other person's eyes were calm and deep, like a bottomless spring.

"..." Hu Xinrui didn't know why, but she felt weak in her heart. She stood up and said, "Shiyu, your brother is really something. He has liked me for so long, but he didn't dare to say it. He also deliberately used such an extreme method to deal with me. Please help me talk to him."

Zhou Shiyu looked at her seriously and said, "I think you are really hopeless. Fortunately, my brother doesn't like you anymore."

"Why are you talking like that? Weren't we still good sisters at noon?"

"Guess?" A sneer flashed across Zhou Shiyu's lips. She put her hands behind her back and walked away with brisk steps.

…………

The childhood sweetheart whom I have liked for more than ten years turned out to be a person with cerebral palsy who thought she was an expert in tea making, but in fact had very low emotional intelligence and distorted values. She lived a comfortable life only because she was pretty and no one targeted her since she was a child.

She just looks mature, but actually, how should I put it...

Xu Shu really felt like he had spread the legs of the white moonlight in his heart when he was a child and found that they were full of shit.

Congested.

To be honest, even if Hu Xinrui was a complete green tea girl, she would be better than this.

On the contrary, her current appearance only shows that the little Xu Shu, who was fascinated by this woman back then, is a complete idiot.

Is it because the feng shui of my hometown is bad?
These two neighbors have one with low EQ and the other is a little idiot. Damn, it's amazing!
However, Xu Shu just smiled and passed it off.

This is what mortals are like. They are too troublesome. When it comes to love affairs, they make it like they are filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Sister nuns are better. CPDD can fly all over the world. What's the point of talking about feelings? Talk about money!

Moreover, Xu Shu now knew that the nun system was said to have a hidden effect of helping each other improve their cultivation and enlightenment, so the fees were so high.

In addition, even the sister of the Mother Goddess who came directly to my brother's grass nest is much stronger than that mortal woman.

Look, what does it mean to be thorough? This is called great enlightenment!
A mortal woman? Haha, get some.

At this moment, Xu Shu felt that his underwear vibrated slightly - he had just opened it in the toilet and checked it. Since no one was adding him and harassing him anymore, he changed the message alert to vibrate again.

"Who's looking for me, Xie Xiaochan? Did you send me some erotic pictures again?"

Xu Shu found a hidden corner, thrust his hips forward to activate the upgrade drive, and at the same time took care of his urgent needs in the corner.

As the network interface unfolds before my eyes, a message from a friend comes into view.

[Gu Yueming requested to add you as a friend, and the other party left a message: It might be your mother-in-law]

"?"

Xu Shu was stunned. What the hell?
Gu Yueming...Oh, Gu Pan’s adoptive mother?
Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and chose to pass.

Soon, the other party sent a message.

*Private Message Channel
"Brother Gu Pan, the giant-muscled overlord? The title is a little vulgar, but it is also an honor after all, not bad. Auntie is very optimistic about you. I came to see you today but you were not at home. Panpan is about to come out of seclusion. When will you come to the Gu family? Auntie will give you a red envelope for meeting you." - Gu Yueming, a second-level wizard.

【Gu Yueming sent you a picture】

“?” A red envelope for meeting someone?
Xu Shu hesitated and clicked on the picture.

Swish! A selfie of a graceful and sophisticated woman appears on the paper.

The photo shows a girl wrapped in a bath towel, trembling as she climbs out of a steaming bathtub.

Judging from her appearance, it should be Gu Pan, but it was obviously an earlier time, because she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her eyes are sharp, but her face is still childish.

"Hiss, it turns out that Teacher Gu Pan already had such a proud figure at that time. This proud weapon that was wrapped up with difficulty was steaming in the bathtub, and it was vaguely visible. It was simply like the steam rising from Yunmeng Lake and the waves shaking Yueyang City... Wait, why did her mother send me such a photo?"

Is it a bit amorous?
Xu Shu wiped his nose and his expression froze on his face.

The star tower that was clearly targeting him, his childhood white moonlight that had completely collapsed, and this obviously unserious elder...

What a crappy safe zone, there’s no way to stay here!
