My God Raising Game

Chapter 20 Is that motion sickness? You're just lusting after the school beauty!
Tang Lei looked at Jiang Shan's profile and secretly poked Lu Jiuling with his finger.

He was very excited.

He had checked the Gaode Map; it would take two hours to drive to Fanshi Ancient Town, which was quite tedious. He had originally planned to read a book to pass the time, but now that Jiang Shan was sitting in front, if they could talk, this trip would definitely be full of memories.

Lu Jiuling understood Tang Lei's feelings. It was like being assigned seats in school; if a boy could become deskmates with the girl he had a crush on, he would be happy for three years.

Tang Lei wanted to talk to Jiang Shan, but he didn't dare to speak. He felt so uncomfortable that he twisted and turned like a big green caterpillar.

Lu Jiuling closed his eyes to rest.
Reading?

Even dogs don’t watch!

As the meeting time approached, students arrived one after another, boarded the bus, and found seats.

"I still know too little about superhumans."

Lu Jiuling sighed.

Just like playing a game, he wanted to choose the most powerful profession, but the refined old man said that the best choice is the one that suits him. But the problem is, how do he find the most suitable extraordinary profession?

Lu Jiuling's ideal is to work in a big company, earn money while accumulating skills and experience, and when he is ready, start his own business, become a boss, and finally achieve financial freedom.

It's called an ideal, but it's nothing more than being forced by a few coins. If I were a rich second-generation, I wouldn't need much savings. My dad would leave me ten million. Who would still work 996?

Isn't it better to just lie at home and play games all day?
work to earn a living?

It can't be hit at all!

But I'm playing games now!

This game is a bit of a grind, and I wonder what the next round of the Gods' Game will be like? Also, that Centaur Palace Chairman, the white-clad lady said he's a Sequence 8 transcendent, I wonder if he's completed his advancement ceremony again? What's his strength now?
Lu Jiuling was lost in thought, his mind wandering freely, when suddenly he felt someone pushing him forcefully.

When Lu Jiuling opened her eyes, she saw two boys standing beside her.

The person who pushed him was short, with a small square face, slanted eyes, and wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and platform sneakers.

It was Xu Shuo, the class monitor, and the person next to him was his good friend Jia Mingqiao.

"690, please give me your seat!"

Although Xu Shuo asked Lu Jiuling to give up his seat, he didn't stand on ceremony at all, and even pushed him twice while he was speaking.

The message to him to get up quickly was quite clear.

When Tang Lei saw Xu Shuo about to sit there, he knew it was for Jiang Shan's sake. He could only curse his bad luck inwardly and get up to make room for him.

Having known each other for almost three years, Tang Lei knew that Xu Shuo had a fiery temper, was arrogant, and held grudges. Tang Lei was somewhat afraid of him!

"Jiang Shan, do you have any action plans?"

Despite his small stature, Xu Shuo was very confident. He flashed a smile he had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time as he spoke to Jiang Shan.

Compared to Tang Lei's hesitation, Xu Shuo's aggressiveness was off the charts.

"no!"

Jiang Shan replied with a slightly indifferent tone.

"I have made a plan!"

Xu Shuo took out his phone, tapped away, opened the notes app, and showed it to Jiang Shan: "How about we go together? I guarantee you'll have a great time on this trip to the ancient town!"

"no need!"

Jiang Shan didn't even glance at the screen.

Tang Lei admired Xu Shuo's courage, wishing he could be as bold as him.

"gone!"

Tang Lei's seat was by the window. He nudged Lu Jiuling with his leg, signaling him to go first, but his friend didn't budge.

What?

Tang Lei didn't understand at first, but after two or three seconds he realized that Lu Jiuling wasn't going to give up his seat for Xu Shuo.

What the hell!

When did my friend become so assertive?
Xu Shuo didn't pester Lu Jiuling. After chatting for a few more minutes, he turned around and saw that Lu Jiuling was still sitting there. His brows immediately furrowed.

what's the situation?
Is this guy trying to cause trouble?
Xu Shuo was more shrewd than his peers. He didn't speak, but looked down at Lu Jiuling and stared into his eyes, trying to put pressure on him.

The other person was just too tall; even sitting down, they were level with him, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of his 'overlooking'!
"What are you still sitting for? Make room for me!"

Jia Mingqiao urged him on, as he also wanted to sit with Jiang, the school beauty.

Hearing the commotion behind him, the baby-faced man turned around and looked back, his expression turning worried.

Inside the bus, the sound of reciting aloud quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to look at them.

After all, the car is only so big, so everyone could see what happened at a glance.

They were stunned. How dare Lu Jiuling talk back to Xu Shuo?

That guy was second in the grade, and the homeroom teacher's favorite.

"Aren't there seats in the back?"

Lu Jiuling replied coldly.

If the other person had spoken politely, Lu Jiuling would have given way; he didn't care where he sat. But Xu Shuo pushed him without any manners.

To put it bluntly, Xu Shuo was used to being domineering, and Lu Jiuling was just an ordinary student who was harmless, didn't talk much, and even seemed a bit weak, so Xu Shuo didn't take him seriously at all and naturally didn't speak politely to him.

"Hey, are you looking for trouble?"

Jia Mingqiao glared at him, his expression clearly saying, "Get out of my way."

"What? Can't we sit in the back?"

Lu Jiuling countered with a question, completely unfazed.

Want to fight?
"Let's go! Come on, let's sit in the back!"

Tang Lei didn't want a conflict and tried to pull Lu Jiuling away.

The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and it's not worth getting a disciplinary record for fighting; it could affect your chances of getting into university.

"sit down!"

Lu Jiuling gave the order.

"Jiuling!"

Tang Lei was worried and wanted to persuade him, but looking into Lu Jiuling's calm and unwavering eyes, he was taken aback and realized that his friend of more than two years had suddenly become a stranger.

However, deep down, Tang Lei also felt relieved!
Because deep down he didn't want to give up his seat for Xu Shuo!
Why?

I also want to sit next to the girl I have a crush on!
The sound of reciting had completely disappeared from the bus; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The students were all silently watching this sudden conflict.

"690, I get a little carsick, so I'd like to sit in the front. Please understand!"

Xu Shuo spoke, a smile on his face.

Jiang Shan didn't turn around, but listening to what was said next, she became a little worried.

Lu Jiuling is going to suffer a loss!
Xu Shuo is putting himself in the position of a vulnerable group.

I get carsick, and you didn't give me your seat. That shows you don't care about your classmates and that you have no compassion!
Jiang Shan didn't want Xu Shuo to sit in the back, otherwise she would be bothered by him the whole way.

Never mind, once he sits down, I'll find an excuse to change seats.

"Is that motion sickness? You're just lusting after the school beauty!"

Lu Jiuling immediately launched a counterattack!
No one expected Lu Jiuling to be so tough, and to say such flirtatious things. Everyone was stunned for two or three seconds, and then a huge burst of laughter erupted inside the bus.

"Haha, I didn't realize 690 had such a good sense of humor!"

"He really doesn't tolerate Sergeant Xu!"

"I never realized 690 was so tough!"

"You're about to graduate, so you don't want to put up with it anymore, right?"

"Indeed, Xu Shuo is quite annoying!"

The students whispered among themselves.

When traveling, people in close-knit groups naturally sit together and whisper secrets without restraint.

Most of the students in the class didn't have a good impression of Xu Shuo, but he was too good at his studies and was trusted by the teacher, so he was able to stay in the position of class monitor.

Nobody wants to offend this kind of person.

Xu Shuo's face flushed red instantly, his lips twitched, and he punched the baby-faced man in the back seat with a bang, startling him.

Jiang Shan turned around in surprise. Apart from studying, she was oblivious to everything else, so she wasn't familiar with many of her classmates.

In her opinion, Lu Jiuling would have been more than polite by saying "I get carsick too," but who knew he would just say something like that...

This is practically calling a monk a bald thief; wouldn't that infuriate Xu Shuo?
“Jiang Shan, this kid is being rude and insulting to you.”

Xu Shuo, as expected of someone with deep cunning, wanted to team up with Jiang Shan to deal with Lu Jiuling.

If the top two students in the whole school mess with you, what kind of trouble can you possibly cause?
Jiang Shan really wanted to curse him as an idiot!

It wasn't Lu Jiuling who was being insulted, it was Xu Shuo.

"They were talking about the school beauty, but they didn't specifically name me."

Jiang Shan's tone was cold and hard, thinking to herself, "Why am I so eager to get involved?"
Moreover, she knew that her best friend Li Jiayao seemed to have a crush on Lu Jiuling, so she was even less likely to speak up for him.

I didn't realize Lu Jiuling was so clever.

"Aren't you the school beauty of our No. 2 High School?"

Jia Mingqiao flattered him.

"Why did I hear that Shaowei is very beautiful?"

Jiang Shan was already annoyed, so she stood up and prepared to get out of the car for some fresh air.

The baby-faced girl grabbed her hand, worried that Lu Jiuling might be taken advantage of or even beaten, so she planned to break up the fight as soon as Xu Shuo made a move.

Jiang Shan looked at her best friend and sat down.

"Everyone's already annoyed, why are you still standing here like a mangy dog?"

Lu Jiuling was equally impatient.

"690, everyone knows Xu Shuo likes Jiang Shan, don't you even know what it means to help others achieve their goals?"

A mocking voice came from the back of the carriage.

Lu Jiuling turned around and saw a stocky boy named Zhang Shuai. He was very good at basketball and had reportedly dated five girlfriends since junior high school.

Zhang Shuai was unhappy with Xu Shuo. He seemed to be speaking up for him, but actually he was just looking for trouble and wanted to provoke Xu Shuo and 690 into a fight, which would affect their mentality.

It would be perfect if the two of them failed their college entrance exams.

"You're quite generous with other people's money, why don't you climb up here and let Squad Leader Xu sit on you?"

Lu Jiuling retorted.

He wasn't the type to grit his teeth and bear it when wronged, let alone now that he was the candidate for Speaker of the Divine Council's Human Palace, holding two forbidden items. These people should be thanking their lucky stars if he didn't cause trouble.

Wow!
The students on the bus were in an uproar, staring at Lu Jiuling in disbelief.

For the first time, they discovered that this boy, who was the most handsome in the class, well, probably the whole school, actually had such a strong side.
