Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 47 - 44: Back-to-School Routine
CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 44: BACK-TO-SCHOOL ROUTINE
Rehe City.
Morning.
Liu Jun opened his eyes, listening to the rain outside.
"Their ideals are wonderful, but what they weave together is ultimately just a half-baked prototype."
"Even if there are a bunch of Pseudo-Saints, the creation of life is the most profound science, requiring more time to refine."
Only then did Liu Jun realize the terrifying difficulty involved.
If it were just him alone, trying to create new species would be nearly impossible.
It requires teamwork to cover gaps and deficiencies.
"But whether they succeed or not, they will take a final stand when they’re in their twenties to challenge me."
"If this continues, I’ll have to wipe out several new species in one night."
"This task of exterminating species... even destroying the world, is happening far too frequently!"
"The God of Longevity, I’m afraid, has truly become the God of Killings for this era, causing chaos and fear across the world."
Though in truth, I’ve obtained a pile of mythological creature blueprints.
It’s a huge profit.
A different kind of city defense, battling monsters, collecting equipment?
Not quite.
It should be:
Me, the Creator God, fighting monsters, leveling up, and exploding species?
"With gains come losses. If I can endure the Wisdom Disaster, I’ll achieve a significant leap! I’ll have a lot of mythological creature prototypes to use for scenario simulations."
Liu Jun looked at the precious information in his hand.
"But...can I endure it?"
Liu Jun felt that the intensity of this mental and strategic battle was too high.
Kill, kill, kill!
Every night, wiping out several species, never knowing when you’ll crash.
These species are deliberately tailored to counteract me, the God of Longevity, designing specific species to restrain me.
Secretly, I was still a dual-talent, or else I might have crashed already!
Last night’s wave exposed some of my background, who knows what they’ll come up with next time.
"It’s too hard for me. The Butterfly Race on the Cangwu Tree are a bunch of Middle Wisdom ordinary life forms, currently unable to help by using the ready-made blueprints of the High Wisdom enemies. Trying to understand it is like a primary schooler trying to master a postgraduate course, like reading a heavenly book, temporarily useless."
"I’m a Creator God, yet I spend all day destroying the world?"
Sighing, Liu Jun heard Zou Anmeng’s voice coming from the living room.
"Hurry up, we have class today."
Knock knock knock.
The sound of knocking also followed.
"You can skip on regular days, but today we have the college entrance exam physical check-up."
"There will be a check-up every half month until the exams start."
Li Feng also chimed in.
"Got it, is it Monday today? Let me put on my uniform." Liu Jun also felt a bit drained, worn out from killing those species.
Indeed, he needed to go out and relax for a bit.
...
Rehe City Thirteen High School.
Riding the tram to school, Liu Jun and the others held umbrellas, walking into the campus amidst the bustling crowd.
Approaching the college exams, many students have taken leave to study on their own, with various methods of striving, leaving classrooms actually a third empty.
But today, most of the students came.
Including the school belle Bai Youxuan, who had been missing, already entering self-study mode early on.
This high school celebrity drew a lot of attention wherever she went.
Some said she was the strongest student in Rehe Thirteen High School in recent years, with a great chance of stepping into that realm.
Walking into the classroom, the students were eagerly discussing topics about Angels and the Little Angels’ Intelligent Brain.
"The Angel King is so handsome!"
"Ah, my great King."
"The Angel Queen, also one with a bitter fate, sigh..."
A few days passed, but the intensity remained undiminished.
Liu Jun, along with Zou Anmeng and Li Feng, three unnoticed students, quietly sat down, discreetly listening to the voices nearby.
The classroom was a cacophony.
A student nearby was behaving somewhat erratically, shaking his head: "Hahaha, art, art! I’ve got it, watch me comprehend in this dragon arena!"
Some students disapproved: "Did he take medicine? So energetic."
Another student analyzed: "There’s no choice, it’s the last hundred-day countdown to the college entrance exams. Without enhancement, how do you get stronger? A better score means a better assignment unit! Higher wages, better conditions!"
Everyone nodded: "Sigh, there’s no other way!"
Students in Rehe City will not go to college after the exams.
They will stay in Rehe City to repay this city by working.
But their exam scores severely affect their job assignments.
Better job placements mean higher chances of breakthroughs before the age of thirty.
"Speaking of inspiration pills, bro, I recommend you use this newly released Wisdom Ice, it’s potent, with a long burst period of inspiration, and rapid wisdom growth..."
"But I heard this one has significant side effects, bulging temples, and a pointy head."
"Anyway, everyone’s already been drenched bald by the rain, so it doesn’t matter!"
Liu Jun suddenly recalled those mushrooms at home:
The Creator God next door, whose ice descended, with stronger and purer effects, had already fostered a bunch of insane addict mushrooms.
Those inspiration-exploding beautiful artists have created a myriad of new species, thrilling beyond words.
Just then.
The group from another class was discussing a current hot topic.
"What about your Little Angels’ Intelligent Brain? Did you sell it?"
"Not yet, it’s expected to rise in value. Some hoodlums were blocking the entrance the other day, threatening to buy the Intelligent Brain, and were kicked out on the spot."
"The school leadership personally intervened, I heard the other party was a small loan, Intelligent Brain acquisition company."
"Ugh, I heard someone did sell, coward."
"I’m not selling, let’s hold on a bit more."
...
Liu Jun listened thoughtfully.
It seemed that the matter was resolved, not too bad.
Reality isn’t a narrative, if someone threatens students, the school will definitely intervene first.
Especially with the college entrance exams drawing near.
Wouldn’t the school leaders want good performance?
"What do you think the era after the Angel King will be like?"
"Don’t know."
"Come on, speak up freely."
"Hmm, weaving species, they have endless possibilities. Isn’t the Butterfly Race the god creating race from mythological legends?"
"I estimate in the era after the Angel King, when weaving technology is fully mature, there will be a species explosion similar to the Cambrian Period?"
"Jurassic species explosion?"
"Yes, the Angels above will start creating a multitude of species on the ground, I can totally picture it."
"I’ve got it! The historical mystery and the truth of the biological explosion in textbooks are indeed appearing before us."
"Liu Jun, why aren’t you speaking? Say something!"
Liu Jun remained silent.
Thanks for the invite, I’m in the Jurassic, just last night I defeated several species of the species explosion.
Tonight, probably still have to keep killing!
Perhaps have to kill for over a dozen days, annihilate the era a dozen times, kill two or three dozen new species.
The species explosion period is very tiring, the enemies are very resilient.
Seeing Liu Jun silent, they continued chatting:
"According to the theory of biological evolution, with species explosion, when species increase, natural selection will still occur, the fittest will survive."
"Who is ’heaven’ in ’natural selection’?"
"Hmm, the Prophet?"
"The Prophet holds the key to longevity, responsible for managing the lifespan of all creatures, deciding which species will have longevity and which will go extinct."
"Mass biological evolution, with countless species emerging, followed by natural selection, heaven... is the God of Longevity, makes sense!"
"Yes, subsequent races are strictly selected by the Prophet, survival of the fittest?"
Liu Jun: "..."
What are these people talking about?
It’s terrifying!
Is this the expansive thinking of scholars?
If only I had known how exciting the daily conversations between classes at your school had become, discussing angels and the various developments of the Jurassic...
I might have come to class!
