Exploding God

Complaining is the most useless thing to do!

Lu Ming knew this well, so he always worked hard. He knew that Shi Siyu's academic performance was excellent, and her practical performance was even better than expected. As for her talent... it couldn't be described as just "excellent".

Genetic sensitivity 91.7...

This is a truly terrifying existence.

This means that Shi Siyu's genetic power has surpassed that of 99% of people. As long as she continues to study and train step by step, she will eventually become someone that countless people look up to.

According to official statistics from the Yanhuang Combat Alliance, even the lowest genetic warriors with a gene sense of 7 stars or above have a gene sense of over 80.

And 91.7 is even slightly higher than some 8-star generals...

Therefore, it was a foregone conclusion that Shi Siyu would be admitted to Shangnan Middle School. Seventy percent of his desire to get into Shangnan Middle School was to follow in his brother Lu Ze's footsteps, and the other thirty percent was the small hope of seeing Shi Siyu again.

Since that's the case...

Given Shi Siyu's intelligence, why would she ask herself such a question?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming suddenly became vigilant.

My brother once said that if someone suddenly treats you well or suddenly treats you badly, you should be wary, because there is no love or hate without a reason in this world.

As for myself... a cripple, what use could I possibly have?

How ridiculous, Lu Ming, you fool who's blinded by cowardice.

The boy's eyes cleared instantly, his previous timidity and avoidance vanishing. He looked calmly at the girl opposite him and spoke softly, "Shi Siyu, is there anything else?"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's question, Shi Siyu's eyes flashed with surprise, then she asked with a bright smile, "Lu Ming, which school are you planning to apply to for the high school entrance exam?"

Lu Ming was puzzled, but still answered truthfully, "I want to apply to Shangnan Middle School, but in the end, it will be based on my score. If it is not high enough, I will settle for something else."

"With your grades so good, you'll definitely have no problem getting into Shangnan Middle School," Shi Siyu said earnestly. Then, carefully choosing her words, she softly asked, "Um... do you have time on June 12th?"

September 6th?

Wasn't that the third day after the middle school entrance exam? I should be working, since summer jobs are easier to find and can help supplement my family's income.

"I'll probably go out and find a job. Why?" Lu Ming thought for a moment and gave this answer.

Shi Siyu's bright eyes widened for a moment, then quickly flashed with apology. "I'm sorry, Lu Ming, if it won't take up too much of your time, could you come to my birthday party on the evening of June 12th?"

The girl clasped her two small hands together and rested them on her chin, looking rather pitiful.

Lu Ming was stunned, and then a strong sense of shame flashed through his heart for having assumed malicious intent towards others.

[Lu Ming, you're such a disgrace!]

But what followed was a sudden sense of surprise and emotion.

Shi Siyu looked at him and whispered, "I don't have many friends in this class. Although I've been here for over a year, I've asked you so many questions, so we must be good friends, right? That's why I'd like to invite you to our graduation birthday party."

"I only invited five people from this class, can you come?"

The girl stared at Lu Ming with bright, hopeful eyes.

"I'm here on time." Lu Ming nodded, his voice not loud but very solemn.

Shi Siyu smiled and winked playfully, saying, "Then it's a deal!"

"Um!"

Under the table, Lu Ming clenched his fist.

Outside the classroom, a girl knocked on the glass, and the girl quickly and happily went out.

The moment the beautiful figure disappeared, the small, previously quiet area around Lu Ming erupted into chaos.

"Shi Siyu actually talked to Lu Ming for so long just now!?"

"Look at that idiot Lu Ming, a toad trying to eat swan meat... I heard that Shi Siyu has a powerful background, she seems to be a resident of the Dome District, but I don't know why she came here."

"To be honest, I've always wanted Shi Siyu's bracelet account..."

"What a coward, why did you have to ask her directly?"

Amidst the cacophony of sounds, Lu Ming paid no heed, instead browsing linear algebra content online with obvious interest; he had grown accustomed to his extremely low profile.

However, sometimes trouble comes knocking on your door even if you don't seek it out.

Snapped.

A hand slammed onto Lu Ming's shoulder, and before he could turn his head, he felt a strong arm grab his neck.

"Lu Ming, what did Shi Siyu just say to you? Tell me about it."

Hearing this deep voice, Lu Ming knew who it was without turning around. It was Feng Hao, a notorious bad student in the entire grade for his ruthlessness and cunning, whose family owned six large internet cafes and who, despite having the right to reside in the Azure Zone, still held a position in the Red Brown Zone.

Feng Hao liked Shi Siyu, and even declared in the second year of junior high that any boy he saw daring to get too close to Shi Siyu should be careful when going to school in the future.

However, Lu Ming knew that Feng Hao didn't really like Shi Siyu. He was interested in all pretty girls. Compared to Lin Zhidao, a school bully who still had some sense of honor and morality, Feng Hao was a complete scumbag. He would coerce and seduce girls from poor families and then take advantage of them. When he encountered girls from well-off families, he would pretend to be a guardian like he was now.

"They didn't say anything specific, just discussed the solution to the system of equations."

Lu Ming said calmly, ignoring the threat in Feng Hao's words.

"Oh, really? No wonder you two have been chatting for so long." Feng Hao casually pulled over a chair and sat down next to Lu Ming, his gaze sweeping over the bunch of cryptic codes on the 3D screen. He continued nonchalantly, "Since you two seem so familiar, you must be quite close to Shi Siyu. Here's what you'll do: tell me her bracelet account number. Then help me get meals for a week, and I'll let you off the hook."

The tall and imposing Feng Hao, standing at 182cm and weighing 160kg, with his gloomy face, appeared incredibly intimidating in front of the thin Lu Ming, and his tone carried an immense sense of condescension.

"no."

Lu Ming turned his head and looked at Feng Hao seriously. "If you want it, go ask him yourself. Besides, even if I had it... why should I give it to you?"

hiss~

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the surrounding area.

Several people hesitated to speak, feeling as if they were sitting on a wax statue, unsure whether to move or remain still.

"Brother Feng..."

Feng Hao hadn't come these past two days because he was busy managing the family business, so someone finally spoke up quietly.

Firstly, this is a classroom, and it wouldn't be good if things got out of hand. Secondly, they all witnessed the whole thing at the school gate yesterday; Lu Ming's brother is absolutely inhuman!

God knows how Lu Ming ended up with such an awesome older brother.

"roll."

However, Feng Hao turned his head with a gloomy expression and uttered a sentence that immediately shut those people up.

Those people remained silent, but in their hearts they were all cursing. If you idiot had really beaten up Lu Ming today and ended up getting into trouble with his brother, then you deserved it.

"Interesting. You think you've gotten cocky because I, Feng Hao, haven't been to class these past two days?"

Feng Hao's left arm gripped Lu Ming's neck like an iron clamp, and he said with a cold smile.

Lu Ming's neck was gripped tightly, his face flushed red, but he clenched his teeth and remained silent, his fists already clenched so tightly that his knuckles protruded.

"Haha, Lu Ming is quite stubborn."

Feng Hao chuckled, releasing his arm and giving Lu Ming's face a light pat, saying, "Don't worry, I, Feng Hao, am a good student. I never cause trouble at school. Lu Ming, remember to come to school on time these next few days, okay? Hahaha!"

"Look at you two, those few pats you just took, not a single hair came off, right?"

A voice suddenly came from behind.
