Chapter 190: Chapter 18: Bizarre Star Tower, Heavenly Defiance Childhood Friend (First update, averaged 5000 owed a little)

11/23, in the afternoon.

The day after killing a Chosen One...

...（Note 1）

[You picked up your sister with Black Long Straight hair and a short skirt, and threw her directly into the lake. She flailed in the water with screams, yelling what she did wrong for you to treat her like this, and then drowned. You, a newbie, what followed was a regular attack (Epic) from Star Tower to protect itself from your harm: Fresh Pork Meat~...]

[You died, this expedition ends, calculating rewards...]

[Evaluation: An evaluation of your mother, a cute sister like that and you don’t seize the time to play with orthopedics, what are you playing at on Earth? The Tai Chu Scroll thinks you’re beyond help, you might as well be dead.]

[You obtained an item: Self-cutting Meridians (Epic)]

[Today’s open attempts: 0/3]

Self-cutting Meridians (Epic)*5

"God-damned pigs eat fodder and still taste fresh? Uh, looks like they can’t be fed enough without it...

"But it seems Star Tower is functioning normally now? In today’s three trials, no matter if I tried to synthesize that Doctor’s Curse Mark to chat with the waiter, threw Narrow Sleeve Guanyin out to hit someone, or sneakily slapped that receptionist on the butt for minimal interaction, Star Tower detected and killed me instantly! I didn’t stand a chance to cause any real harm.

"How come when it’s about fighting that goddamn Demon Chosen, it waits until it has killed so many people? I can’t even go up and fight it properly before you attack?"

"You’re quick to strike against me?"

"Strange... Is there a problem with its guidance, or is it targeting me?"

Xu Shu stroked his chin, white silk stockings not quite fitting the role of a rider, washed his hands and walked out from the public restroom by the roadside.

His sister Zhou Shiyu was waiting outside, glancing over with an indifferent look: "Are you done? If so, hurry up and take me to school."

Today she was dressed in a black-and-white checkered shirt with a pleated skirt, her fair and slender legs clad in over-the-knee socks.

Her hair was also styled, not to mention the accessories, and on each shoulder, she picked out a thin braid which bounced on her long straight black hair as she walked, her whole being radiated an indescribable youthful beauty.

Xu Shu glanced at her and slightly frowned.

At this moment the sun was blazing overhead, despite it apparently being winter the sun had heated the earth to at least 35 degrees Celsius.

And with his sister having spent the morning busy moving back to their old home with their foster mother, having dressed up like this, her feet must certainly smell, yue~

It was nearly three o’clock in the afternoon on the 23rd.

Since being woken up in the middle of the night by the intense vibration of his underwear, discovering it was due to the Qingyun List update pushing him to the 404th position, and casually chatting with netizens, he had changed his notification settings back to ’Do Not Disturb’, and until now, he had tried today’s three attempts in the simulation.

All in the safe zone, openly in front of Star Tower, blatantly provoking right in its face.

The results, of course, were all tragic deaths.

"So, there’s no issue with Star Tower itself."

"The problem lies with that ’Unclean’ who has the title of Demon Chosen?

"I don’t know which school he belongs to, but it’s good that Star Tower is only slightly delayed; after all, they can’t escape the lock."

"Esoteric believers, huh... killing one such guy actually rewards 100 Contribution Points, an unexpected bonus indeed, too bad it hasn’t been credited yet."

Thinking of last night’s gains, Xu Shu couldn’t help his lips curving up.

Once those 100 points are credited, I can buy the ’Realm of Illusion’ to successfully unlock the trading feature.

Hmm, then I’ll repay the 30 points I owe Song Nianhui, and the rest, let’s see what the online prices for Erosion Crystals are. If possible, I’ll slowly purchase Erosion Crystals for my upgrades, which is the top priority.

Secondly, I must also pay attention to the appropriate Curse Seals, just don’t know if anyone’s selling an Epic Curse Seal, and for how much money, and whether they’re willing to make a trade with me...

"Brother, please hurry up, the tram is coming. If we miss this one, we have to wait another half hour, and I still have to go to school to make up for some homework."

While he was pondering, his sister urged him.

"Coming."

Xu Shu walked over, accompanying her, and looked at her cool expression, which was somewhat out of place compared to other girls. He shook his head with a wry smile.

Some things are easy to change but hard to revert; time will tell.

Today was actually Sunday.

But for a poor high school senior, coming home to rest on Saturday noon and then heading to school early on Sunday afternoon until evening was the norm.

The future looks promising.

The secondary school in the safe zone was located to the southeast (5,-3) and covered about two hundred acres, arranged in the shape of the character "藟", with buildings of clear hierarchical levels. Each building was as tall as possible, to maximize space and accommodate all students in the safe zone.

This area housed dormitories, cafeterias, on-campus hospitals, and other facilities.

Xu Shu, too, had attended this school once.

Looking up at the "alma mater" bustling with people, Xu Shu’s memories became slightly hazy for a moment.

Regardless, in today’s apocalyptic situation, the fact that everyone in the safe zone has food and education, aiming to match the pre-disaster standards, just this point alone made it impossible to find any fault with the Supervision Bureau, high taxes notwithstanding.

The high school section was located at the north gate in the 艹 of 藟, and people were constantly entering the school gates.

"I’m heading in, brother, please be careful on your way home too." Zhou Shiyu lifted the hem of her dress in a polite curtsy to Xu Shu, then joined the flow of people entering the school, heading towards the gate for clocking in and identity verification.
