Chapter 8 Chapter 8

This time when I went to school, someone else was driving.

"I'm Lao Zhang, the school's driver. Everyone calls me Lao Zhang."

Old Zhang has a square face and is about forty years old. He is wearing a formal suit and a pair of white gloves very professionally.

He said to Luo Shizhen with a smile:

"If you want to go out of school to buy something, go on a mission, or go home to visit family, you can call me to pick you up."

"Anyway, when you leave school, call me."

Luo Shi really didn't expect that the school could provide such a service. He was a little flattered:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Old Zhang: "Haha, you are the first student to call me Uncle Zhang. Those little brats in school are so angry that they want to turn the tables. Forcing them to bow their heads and call me Uncle is like asking them to die."

Luo Shizhen had previously been briefed by Chu Xiao on the domineering nature of the Awakened, and now he heard Lao Zhang say this...

The image of the Awakener School in his mind had become a group of people wearing grass skirts, swinging on vines, shouting and roaring, and a wild boar zoo that would charge at anyone it saw.

But the treatment was really good. Not only was he given money, the school also provided accommodation and he even received a brand new mobile phone, computer and tablet.

Moreover, the 20,000 yuan given to freshmen every month has arrived quickly.

The moment the money arrived, the poor student Luo Shizhen immediately accepted the fact that he was about to attend the Awakener School, and excitedly said that he would bravely fight the monsters and be a good student.

In his opinion, this is no longer a school, but a workplace.

It doesn’t matter if the classmates are all wild boars. At most, they can just climb up a tree and hide.

This is 20,000 yuan!

Grandma works hard all year round but can’t save 20,000 yuan!

The only pity for Luo Shizhen is that his grandmother has passed away, otherwise she would definitely be happy for a long time seeing that he can earn 20,000 yuan a month.

Before she died, she was always worried that Luo Shizhen was too stupid to make money. He had failed the college entrance examination, and his grandmother insisted that he repeat the year, fearing that he would have a miserable life in society without a degree.

And now, he can even earn 20,000!

With 20,000 yuan a month, he could stay at school for free, and other miscellaneous expenses would cost him a maximum of 500 yuan. At the end of the year...

Luo Shizhen tried hard to do the mental calculation. After all, he was a high school student and he still knew how to do arithmetic: that was two hundred and thirty-four thousand yuan!

He had never seen so much money in his life!

Not to mention that his classmate is a wild boar, even if it is a wild boar in heat, he can tolerate it!

Chen Heyan smiled at Luo Shizhen, who had been showing happiness on his face since getting on the bus, and showed him the test results:

"Congratulations, Shi Zhen. From what I can see, you should be Sequence 03—Energy."

"The higher the level of the psychic sequence, the more powerful they are. Your ability is ranked very high."

When Luo Shizhen heard Teacher Chen praising him, he immediately became even happier: "Will I be great too?"

Chen Heyan said gently, "We can only sort out your sequence abilities based on the amount of Qi and the form it manifests."

"Normally, most awakened people will be able to recall the name of their ability and how to use it after awakening and using it. You may have just awakened, so it will take some time."

Luo Shizhen looked down at his hands, feeling a little excited.

"Energy user... sounds like a very powerful ability. I'm actually that powerful! So can I fight zombies, too?"

He couldn't wait to get to work.

With a monthly salary of 20,000, you have to kill at least a hundred zombies, right?

Luo Shizhen looked back at Chu Xiao happily: "Chu Xiao, wait until I learn it well, let's fight zombies together!"

Chu Xiao, who was sitting in the back seat, had a softer expression: "Yeah."

Chen and Yan paused.

The ability to purify is considered the rarest ability, and it is the only one among energy users that can completely eliminate pollution.

There are only thirteen people in the country who have awakened their purification abilities.

This is also the reason why Luo Shi Zhenyi was detected and immediately skipped all procedures to enter the school.

People like Chu Xiao and Qin Yinian had been observed for a period of time before they met the admission requirements.

The reason why Luo Shizhen entered the school so quickly was that if he was not enrolled quickly, the awakening centers in other cities would come to snatch him away if they knew that there was a person with purification abilities here.

However, the purification ability is very precious and important, but it must be said that it is an auxiliary system, and an auxiliary system that must follow the team to fight.

The most important thing is that all energy users have a characteristic: they are extremely sensitive to Qi.

In other words, the more powerful the awakened person is, the more likely they are to feel the oppressive aura from the other party, thus generating an instinctive fear.

Fear will affect the use of abilities. There have even been cases where people with purifying abilities followed the team to fight against strange things, but they were oppressed by the Qi and were too frightened to use their abilities.

As for the young awakeners who are strong in themselves and instinctively admire the strong, and who are all arrogant, it is impossible for them to suppress their nature and coax the purifiers to have more favor towards them.

If you tell them, "The Purification Power can reduce the pollution in you and prevent you from dying from it," they will just reply, "If you die, you die. Who doesn't die?"

It is reasonable and logical that at the age of a middle school student, he gained the abilities of a middle school student and eventually became a super middle school student.

Another very important point is that the young awakened ones are too immature. They lack combat experience and ability, and are unable to protect those with purification abilities.

Only older, powerful awakened ones who have experienced true life and death will understand the importance of purifying ability users.

However, when those with purification abilities first awaken, most of them have more sensitive perception abilities and cannot withstand the Qi of powerful older awakeners, and cannot fight with them.

Therefore, all previous users of purification abilities completed their studies at a school for awakeners of the same age. After graduation, they would choose to join a team of older guardians whose members were all able to control themselves, and become the center of the team from then on.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, Luo Shizhen will not be in the same team with Chu Xiao after graduation.

Unless Chu Xiao can demonstrate greater talent and strength and join Luo Shizhen's team.

Chen and Yan did not tell the news directly. As the three of them entered the school, they would slowly find out.

He only encouraged Luo Shizhen:

"Then you must train hard. When an Awakened One fights against a monster, it's not just about ability; physical strength is also important."

Physical strength?! He knows this!

Luo Shizhen instantly gained confidence. He patted his chest confidently:

"Teacher, don't worry, I'm very strong!"

Chen Heyan looked at the happy Luo Shizhen and thought, with such a good personality, he should be able to fit in quickly no matter which team he joins, right?

He thought for a moment, then glanced down at the time on his watch and said softly, "You still don't know the details of the weirdness and the awakened ones, right?"

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will listen carefully."

Luo Shizhen sat obediently, pretending to listen attentively in class.

Under his knowledge-hungry gaze, Chen Heyan took out... a tablet, clicked a few times, and handed it to Luo Shizhen.

Luo Shizhen lowered his head to look at the news on the TV channel.

He was very familiar with this news page. When his grandmother was still alive, she would read it every night.

In the video, the familiar host still has a dignified and calm image, and is reporting in a concise and serious tone with clear pronunciation.

"Recently, a series of unnatural phenomena have appeared in many parts of the world. These phenomena involve multiple fields and have attracted widespread attention..."

Luo Shizhen was immediately attracted and subconsciously sat more upright, as if he was still watching the news at home with his grandmother.

The news content mainly defines these unnatural phenomena as "weird". Weirdness comes in various forms, and is something supernatural, difficult to explain, and beyond common sense and science.

Most of them are malicious towards humans, and a small number are not. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended that no matter what kind of strangeness you encounter, do not approach it. You can call xxxx immediately and the relevant department will rush to the scene to deal with it immediately.

This news was obviously prepared for more than a day or two, and the materials were varied. After a brief explanation by the host, he began to play some videos containing weird materials to make it easier for everyone to identify which situation was weird.

The first video showed a man with human-like appearance. He was elongated and looked to be at least three meters tall. He was as thin as a stick and was staggering in the dim night of the early morning.

The person filming asked in a trembling voice if the other party was playing a prank. The staggering figure stopped, and the next second, he started running towards the camera. With a scream, the screen went black.

The host appeared with a serious face and warned everyone not to approach and ask questions if they encountered strange phenomena. They should first pretend not to see them and then call the relevant department immediately.

The second video was in the language of Fuso. The camera was also a little shaky and was aimed at a pale girl.

The news is thoughtfully subtitled, so even if you don’t understand the language, it won’t affect your viewing experience.

Someone asked in Fusang language: "What are you doing here? This is the men's room."

The girl only asked: "Do you want red toilet paper or blue toilet paper?"

The person filming the video might have been a little scared. He stood up hesitantly and turned to leave. As soon as he turned around, he was frightened and stepped back. The girl who was behind him just now appeared in front of him again.

"Do you want red toilet paper or blue toilet paper?"

The girl suddenly appeared, and the scene that was like a horror movie scared Luo Shizhen.

He was so scared that he subconsciously punched the tablet.

——With a bang, a hole was punched in the tablet and the screen went black.

Luo Shizhen was stunned for a second before he realized that he had forgotten to reduce his strength again.

the fat is in the fire!

He looked as if the sky had fallen, and timidly looked at Chen Heyan's reaction.

"Teacher, teacher, I will compensate you..."

Luo Shizhen was afraid that Teacher Chen would be angry, and he was also extremely heartbroken.

Wow, this is the 20,000 yuan I just received. This tablet looks very expensive.

At this moment, he completely forgot about the red and blue toilet paper. His instinctive fear of ghosts was completely suppressed by his identity as a poor ghost.

Chen Heyan didn't seem surprised at all. As the teacher of a group of awakened people, a small matter like smashing a tablet would not cause him any emotional fluctuations at all.

He took out another tablet like magic, handed it to the panicked Luo Shizhen, and soothed him gently:

"It's okay. You don't have to pay for it. These are normal losses. The school will reimburse you. Do you still want to see it?"

Luo Shizhen was still worried and wanted to pay compensation. After confirming again and again that he really didn't have to pay, he still couldn't resist the temptation of TV and took the tablet to watch it.

The shot of the red and blue toilet paper had already passed, and the host was now explaining that some of the local ghost and god culture would also promote some weirdness, but basically, the ones that appeared were evil ghosts and evil gods...

The following videos are also varied, without much bloody content. Even if there is, it will be censored, but they are broadcast by the most authoritative TV channel and still have a great impact on people.

At the end of each video, the host will introduce this strange category and how to deal with or avoid it.

Luo Shizhen's eyes widened slightly, and his expression became more and more serious.

Chu Xiao felt a little helpless. Luo Shi was really like this.

He had previously told Luo Shizhen that the world had changed, and even that Chen Heyan had taken him to participate in tests, where he had met spirits and wood spirits and fought against zombies, but he bet that Luo Shizhen was completely unaware of the importance of this matter.

Only when a news channel like TV, which he considered to be very authoritative, broadcast similar content would Luo Shizhen understand that the matter was really that serious.

Qin Yinian tutted his words from behind, as if talking to himself:

"It was finally announced. I thought it would take a while, but a lot of information was hidden in the news."

"Yes, if everything were told, it would definitely cause panic."

After saying that, he glanced at Luo Shizhen as if he didn't care, waiting for Luo Shizhen to ask him for the "inside information".

As a result, Luo Shizhen didn't notice what he was saying at all. He was still concentrating on watching the news, and all his attention was attracted by the news on the tablet.

Qin Yinian waited for a long time but Luo Shizhen asked him questions, as he had just been rejected in his "friendship" attempt not long ago.

He was too embarrassed to approach anyone and could only shut up with a hint of reluctance.

Qin Yinian was a little angry. Luo Shizhen, this kid, looked silly and easy to fool, like a puff of cream, soft and easy to bite.

But when I really bit him, I found that he was as hard as a rock as his name suggested, and there was no place to bite him.

As he thought about it, Qin Yinian was stunned. Why did he have to gnaw on this hard stone of Luo Shizhen?

Young Master Qin has been popular wherever he goes since he was a child. Doesn't he need a friend like Luo Shizhen?

Qin Yinian couldn't think of a reason, but he soon found one for himself.

Because Luo Shi really has the ability to purify!

Aren't people with the ability to purify rare? They have the ability to save the lives of those who have awakened.

For the sake of this purification ability, he lowered his head slightly, which was not a disadvantage.

Moreover, Chu Xiao cares so much about Luo Shizhen. If he snatches Luo Shizhen away, Chu Xiao will be defeated, right?

What's more, we will be teammates in the future. We will see each other every day and fight against weird things together. Of course, it would be best if we can develop feelings.

At this moment, Qin Yinian completely ignored the past history in which he had said to Chen Heyan, "I don't need teammates, I can form my own team." He also completely ignored the fact that Chu Xiao would most likely be his teammate.

Anyway, he quickly convinced himself.

Qin Yinian started thinking again.

What should he do to make Luo Shi believe that he really wants to be friends with him?
