Exploding God
Chapter 21 is titled Hope
The Bentley Mulsanne had only driven a kilometer when a faint, pleasant fragrance filled the quiet interior.
It's not the scent of a perfume, but more like the scent of a person.
In the back seat, Lin Chujun had her eyes slightly closed. Her slender eyebrows exuded gentleness, but her expression was as cold as ice. Her long, slightly wavy, light purple hair cascaded down, making her look somewhat languid and rebellious.
Suddenly, Lin Chujun's wrist, as white as mutton fat jade, trembled slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with this unexpected information.
However, she still opened her eyes, and after casually glancing at the wristband, her lazy gaze instantly sharpened.
The digital bracelet's projection was turned off, and Lin Chujun leaned back in her seat, her eyes calmly looking at the car ceiling.
They actually lost?
Only a few dozen seconds have passed...
It was that spendthrift cousin again—
[Sis, Fu Haonan lost, but he's not dead. Come pick him up when you have time.]
Just by looking at that sentence, you can imagine Lin Zhidao's face, which looks like it's been beaten into a pig's head but he's pretending to be calm.
"A man's pathetic pride."
"interesting."
"My younger brother has become cunning; someone dares to provoke the Lin family of Nancheng."
Lin Chujun muttered to herself softly, stroking the bracelet for a few seconds before parting her red lips and saying, "Yi Ying."
"Miss." The driver in the front seat, wearing sunglasses, spoke, and it was a cold, female voice.
"Go to No. 59 Changyang Street."
"Yes."
Yi Ying's answer was even more concise than her young mistress's.
The white Mulsanne made a U-turn at the next intersection and headed straight for Changyang Street, which represents Shangnan's underground black market.
A luxury car, carrying two young and beautiful women, is heading towards the entrance to the dangerous black market.
Strangely, neither of them showed the slightest sign of tension.
……
……
"Don't worry about what just happened. Someone will take care of it. When tomorrow comes, you'll find everything is back to normal."
"Why? Ha, then why do you think things will definitely get chaotic? Ah Ming, you have to remember, the subtle thing about people's hearts is that their upper and lower limits are both very high."
"By the way, how's your preparation for the high school entrance exam going?"
Lu Ze's voice was gentle and calm.
"I applied for a special professional exam, preparing to join the Combat Association as a civilian staff member in the future. Shangnan High School has 120 spots this year, and I'm... about 70% sure." Lu Ming thought for a moment and said somewhat shyly, looking at his brother's back with unusually firm eyes.
"If you're 100% sure, just say it. Humility isn't always appropriate," Lu Ze said without turning his head, startling Lu Ming into wide-eyed stares.
"Brother, how did you know!"
"If you don't even know your own brother, then you're not a very good older brother at all," Lu Ze said with a smile.
Lu Ming scratched his head sheepishly, "Hehe, I can't say I'm 100% sure, after all, there are many people who are better than me, but I'm confident."
Lu Ze grinned, "When you get into Shangnan High School, I'll give you a gift."
"What gift?"
"It's a secret for now." Lu Ze held up one finger and shook it.
"Then I'm sure I'll pass the exam!" Lu Ming shouted loudly. "By the way, brother, you still haven't told me, just now, just now what happened to you..."
The thin boy was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.
"You brat." Lu Ze finally stopped and laughed, "Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
"Hehe." Lu Ming grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
Lu Ze's gaze was deep as he looked past the bustling skyscrapers ahead, watching the afterglow of the setting sun paint the city in a brilliant gold.
"Ah Ming, this world is undergoing some kind of evolution, both on Earth and among the creatures that live on it."
"This evolution will one day affect everyone, and the world will enter another turbulent and magnificent era."
"As for me, I am merely an observer who witnessed all of this."
"This description of the future sounds fantastical and beautiful, doesn't it? But... what if what I'm saying is true?"
Lu Ming seemed to understand but was also momentarily captivated by the magnificent world described in the future. However, a barely perceptible dimness quickly flashed deep in his pupils. He raised his head and said firmly, "I will live well and will never become a burden to my family."
Lu Ze shook his head and said, "That's not the answer you wanted. Don't you want to personally participate in the process of changing this world, and personally experience the many wonderful things that exist in this world?"
"Those who endure countless hardships without weariness can become Asuras. Therefore, no matter what lies ahead, whether you cross mountains and abysses or leap over thorns and seas, I want you to always remember one thing."
Lu Ze patted his younger brother's shoulder with one hand, his eyes calm.
"You are my younger brother, Lu Ze's younger brother."
As the sun set, its fiery red rays shone through the gaps in the buildings, casting long, long shadows of the two people on the ground.
At this moment, the seed called "hope" began to be planted, take root, and sprout in Lu Ming's heart.
Until one day in the future, this seed will grow into a towering tree that blocks out the sun.
……
……
The reddish-brown zone, the azure zone, and the dome zone are so clearly defined in every Free City.
Because each area is separated by a silent ten-meter-high wall, constantly reminding people of the boundary that exists simultaneously in reality and in their hearts.
Lushan Manor, a standard high-end villa area, is located on the edge of the Dome District of Shangnan City, nestled against a lush hill. The beautiful artificial lake is illuminated at night, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
On the second floor of Villa No. 4, in a Mediterranean-style bedroom in the southeast corner, the walls are covered with posters of mecha of all sizes, and the light blue transparent bookcase contains three rows of mecha models.
For ordinary people, these mecha models alone would cost several years' worth of income.
At this moment, the owner of the house was lying on the bed in a starfish position, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Is my reputation, Liang Bo's reputation, so worthless?!"
With a suppressed roar, the boy sprang to his feet. The thought of secretly going to Yuan Hui to give him a gift that afternoon filled him with rage.
The black-faced monkey casually tossed the 1 yuan shopping card he had given him on the ground, then looked at him with disdain.
"If I, Yuan Hui, say I'll kill him, I mean I'll kill him. You should take this money and use it to help that punk!"
Yuan Hui's smug and arrogant face kept lingering in his mind, almost driving him mad.
"You bastard, you ruined my brother's future! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
After shouting a few times, Liang Bo slumped back onto the bed, feeling utterly powerless for the first time.
Yuan Hui is a true 4-star gene warrior.
Let alone him, even if he really went to hire someone, he couldn't afford a master who could easily defeat a 4-star gene warrior.
After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Liang Bo felt irritable and restless. He took a deep breath, lifted a corner of the mattress, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes as if they were a precious treasure.
Then, out of nowhere, they found a box of matches.
chapped.
As the sparks lit up, Liang Bo took a deep drag, finally feeling his mind calm down a bit.
As he sipped the tea, Liang Bo felt his dopamine levels finally rise, which improved his mood.
Liang Bo's mind was foggy as he thought, "Sigh, if only dealing with Lu Ze's problem could be as easy as smoking a cigarette."
Squeak.
A figure suddenly pushed open the door and entered; it was a familiar square-faced man.
Liang Bo paused for a moment, then looked up and called out, "Dad?"
He then subconsciously pulled out a cigarette and handed it to his father, quickly taking out a match and lighting it.
Liang's father didn't say anything. He walked to the window with a cigarette between his fingers, looked at the artificial lake outside, and took two deep drags of his cigarette.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
The effects of Liang Bo's cigarette hadn't worn off yet, and his head was still a little dizzy.
Liang's father didn't turn around, but took another puff of his cigarette and said with his back turned, "Son, try to be gentle when I hit you later, it's not good to disturb the neighbors."
Liang Bo: ...
His right hand, holding the cigarette, froze in mid-air.
The smoke cleared up, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Did I have such a foolish heart that I offered my own father a cigarette?
Three seconds later...
The sound of a boy wailing and howling echoed from the bedroom.
