nThe mine collapsed.
nIt was thoroughly destroyed.
nTeacher An and the rest wanted to check whether Fu Hongming was dead or alive. However, the exploitation site was totally blocked. There was no way to enter.
nAll entrances were cut off!
nAfter thinking about it, there was no need for confirmation.
nIt would be good if Fu Hongming was crushed to death, otherwise… It would be a worse fate to be buried alive.
nOf course.
nThose precious treasures had also been buried.
n“Let’s go back.”
nTeacher An led everyone to settle down near the entrance to the mine.
nThe terrain was wide over there and a faint breeze came in from the cracks. Teacher An guided the wind in their direction, making sure that it was well-ventilated.
nFu Hongming was dead.
nThe crisis in the mine had been resolved.
nThe students seemed to be given a new breath of life after the calamity.
nBefore coming for the internship, who would have thought that something like this would actually happen during an easy internship and that they would almost end up dead here?
nTrue enough, no place was safe in this world!
nHowever…
nAs they were reminded of the ordeal they had been through, they could not help but look toward Lu Ming. They knew that it was thanks to him that they managed to stay alive!
nHe helped stop the teleportation and aided in the collapse of the mine cave!
nWhen they were fooled to look for the Mystic Realm, he had already secretly combined forces with his friends to be prepared for the dangers that they might encounter!
nAnd the herd of bulls…
nThey had never seen such amazing abilities!
nNo!
nLu Ming had used cards!
nRight then, some of them recollected that Lu Ming, who was unusually low-profile seemed to be the founder of Fruit Ninja, which was very popular previously!
nPerhaps…
nThis was one of his new cards?
nAt the thought of this, the students cast looks of admiration toward Lu Ming. Many young girls seemed to treat him like a young star.
nIt turned out that aside from being handsome, the senior was also outstanding!
n…
n“Senior, I like you!”
nA young girl came up to Lu Ming to confess her love to him, before she ran back shyly, causing an uproar.
nThe young girl looked somewhat familiar.
nOh, he remembered her.
nThis girl resembled the inflatable figure in Zhang Xiaopang’s tent. Although he only caught a glimpse, he was certain that he had seen correctly.
nHe turned to check and true enough, Zhang Xiaopang seemed to be beside himself.
nWait a minute!
nSomething did not seem quite right.
nLu Ming connected the dots right away. “You don’t even give your classmates space!”
nIn general, shouldn’t these kind of dolls be modeled after celebrities? For example, they could be modeled after Fan Bingbing 1. A Chinese actress, model, television producer and singer. or Lin Chiling 2. A Taiwanese model, actress, singer and television host.. How dare he do this to his classmates!
n“Are you sick?” Lu Ming said angrily. “Since you are classmates, why don’t you go after the real person instead of creating an inflatable doll!?”
n“You know nothing.”
nZhang Xiaopang pursed his lips. “The inflatable doll is better. It won’t end up in a quarrel with you. It won’t throw tantrums. It won’t make you a cuckold and it is convenient to bring around!”
nLu Ming pondered for a moment.
nThese words… seemed to be full of stories!
nWhat had Xiaopang been through in the past?
nConvenient to bring around!
nLu Ming subconsciously looked at the big bag behind Zhang Xiaopang’s back. Therefore, inside the bag must be…
n“Go away.” Zhang Xiaopang widened his eyes. “How dare you steal glances at Xin-er when she is sleeping!”
nLu Ming was rendered speechless.
nHe resisted the thought of strangling him and left.
nAt this very moment, everyone was resting.
nAfter surviving that ordeal, they needed to rest. They waited quietly for the college to send people to help them.
nBuzz—
nBuzz—
nA faint light flickered.
nA gentle and bright light kept on shining on them.
nChang Liang had been trying to keep the source of light steady. He sat cross-legged on a huge boulder in order to save energy consumption.
nHe looked like a Buddha, especially those that came with LED lights.
n“My Charging Card…”
nTeacher An seemed to be talking about something.
nHe had charged the Charging Card for a year. Now that the energy had been depleted, it seemed that he had to start from scratch again. His heart ached for the loss.
nBut Lu Ming felt very curious. Why would Teacher An need a Charging Card?
nThe average person prepared a Charging Card so that they could store a lot of energy and use it in a crucial moment?!
nTeacher An did not seem to have any explosive abilities!
n“Teacher, why do you need a Charging Card?” Lu Ming asked.
n“To sell.”
nTeacher An sighed. “After the Charging Card is charged with three-star energy, it can be sold as a three-star card. It can fetch a high price.”
nLu Ming felt puzzled.
nSell… Sell it to someone else?
nIn general, people would buy Energy Cards for cultivation. Why would the teacher do it the other way round, to use his cultivation in exchange for money?
nCould it be that a college teacher didn’t have enough cash?!
n“I have no choice.” Teacher An sighed. “My children are in school. They have to buy houses in the school district. The expenses are quite high and I am under immense pressure.”
n“Houses… houses in the school district?”
nLu Ming felt slightly nervous.
n“Yes, my children are not very talented. If they want to have better achievements, they must have a solid foundation and to win from the starting line.”
nTeacher An sighed.
n“Oh.”
nLu Ming was surprised.
nHe did not expect that there were houses in the school district in this world.
n“Did you think that I am very weak?”
nTeacher An laughed suddenly. “The two of us could not defeat one person.”
nPerhaps he was willing to tell him more because Lu Ming had saved them or subconsciously he treated Lu Ming as the same level as him.
n“Well, no.”
nLu Ming coughed.
n“I have not been cultivating for the longest time.”
nTeacher An shrugged. “I am not talented. I suppose three-star is the maximum that I can reach. It doesn’t make a difference if I cultivate or not. I would rather leave the resources for my child.”
nWhy did he have the attitude of a state owned enterprise?
nOr perhaps when one has children, one behaves in this manner?
nIn fact, when he thought about it, it seemed fairly normal. In college, there was not much difference between a powerful three-star cultivator and an ordinary three-star cultivator. After all, everyone was a three-star cultivator!
nUnder normal circumstances, no one encountered life and death situations like what happened in the mine.
n“Lu Ming.”
n“The future is yours. Just leave me to idle around, with no dreams and ambitions.”
nTeacher An went to reassure the students again.
nLu Ming was between laughter and tears.
nSince this was the atmosphere in the college, what else could he say?
nIt was said that the students and teachers of the key colleges were trying by all means and ways to become stronger. Many schools even tolerated a mortality rate!
nIt was only to become stronger!
nTo become the strongest!
nAs for vocational colleges like theirs?
nIt was fine as long as everyone was doing well. They could graduate when they reached two-star level.
nThis was indeed leading an idle life!
nLu Ming felt that his current state of mind was also influenced by the school.
nAs someone who had transmigrated, should he not welcome all kinds of danger, fight for precious treasures, seek to become stronger in crisis, kill whoever blocked his way, and become a legend in the end?
nWhy did he coop himself up at home to create cards everyday?
nThis was not scientific!
nHe must have been influenced by the school!
nIt had to be!
nLu Ming was certain.
nHowever…
nHe had some regrets.
nLu Ming looked toward the exploitation site.
nThe crisis was indeed resolved. However, the items that Fu Hongming made a special trip to take were gone as soon as they were unearthed. They had been buried under the ground once again.
nEspecially one of the cards!
nWhen the chamber appeared and everyone looked at the treasures that contained immense energy, Lu Ming was the only person who was looking at the card.
nBecause he was a Card Creator!
nAnd the card was in the middle!
nOn top of that, Fu Hongming’s gaze had never left the card. Obviously, he was here for the card!
nThe card was the most precious item!
nIt was a pity…
nIn the end, nobody knew what it was.
nOne hour later.
nThe school bus came and they realized that something was wrong. They sent a rescue team very soon.
nProfessional help came to their rescue. They used energy to smelt a path for them and to create an opening through the ruins of the mine cave, rescuing them from it.
nThe students were finally able to return to school.
nAfter the collapse of the mine, the school and the factory headquarters had to work to settle the subsequent matters.
nIn order to reassure the students who had been through a harsh ordeal, the school compensated the students by giving them a lot of credits. Lu Ming did a mental calculation, so he could skip lessons for a long while.
nThe school also gave a special reward to the few of them who had helped—
nThey were given a certificate of award that was signed by the principal.
nLu Ming was speechless.
