Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Lu Chuan took several photos of the scene and then set up a cordon.

After doing all this, he turned to look at Lin Yue, who was standing to the side:

"Come on, let's take a picture together."

"To commemorate this moment."

Lu Chuan beckoned to Lin Yue, gesturing for Lin Yue to take a picture with the star beast's body on the ground.

"Click."

With a flash of white light, the photo was taken.

Liu Ziyi walked forward with a smile, tapped her fingertips lightly on the bracelet a few times, and a clear photo popped up. She handed the photo to Lin Yue, her smile as radiant as a flower.

"Junior Lin, judging from your appearance just now, it seems like this was your first time fighting a star beast, right?"

"Yes," Lin Yue replied, then carefully put the photo away.

Lu Chuan stepped forward, patted Lin Yue on the shoulder, and made no attempt to hide his approval:

"Not bad. To be so calm when facing a star beast for the first time, other people of the same age would probably have panicked by now."

Liu Ziyi nodded in agreement:

"Yes, junior's reaction speed and combat skills are better than many senior students. He will definitely be a good prospect in the future."

The group cleaned up the remaining traces at the scene, recorded the relevant information, and instructed the staff who arrived later to handle the follow-up matters before finally resolving all the trivial matters at the scene.

......

After dealing with the trivial matters at the scene, Lin Yue returned to his residential community.

"Strange, the neighborhood isn't usually this quiet." Lin Yue frowned and muttered to himself, his pace quickening unconsciously.

Even when the neighborhood is quiet, there are always a few naughty kids causing trouble, but today it was unusually peaceful.

Lin Yue looked up and saw that every household had its doors and windows tightly closed, and even the curtains in his own house were drawn.

"What's going on?" A sense of unease flashed through Lin Yue's mind, and he hurried home as fast as he could.

As soon as he raised his hand to knock on the door, it was flung open. Lin's mother, her face filled with anxiety and worry, her eyes red-rimmed, grabbed Lin Yue's arm, her voice trembling:

"Oh dear, Yue'er, I was so worried about you! I called you so many times but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened to you!"

"Just now, the TV suddenly broadcast an emergency notice saying that a monster called a Star Beast has appeared near our community. It said it's very dangerous and that we should all stay at home and not go out, and keep the doors and windows closed."

As Lin's mother pulled Lin Yue into the house, she kept talking incessantly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that during the time he was cultivating, the TV station had already reported the matter of the star beast.

Moreover, the time he left home coincided with the time when the star beasts appeared, so it's no wonder his mother was worried about him.

"You've been gone for so long and I can't get through to you on the phone. I'm so worried and restless. I can't even cook."

Lin's mother frowned deeply, her eyes grew increasingly red, and tears were about to fall as she spoke.

Lin Yue felt a warmth in his heart, but also a bit guilty. He quickly took out his bracelet, unlocked it, and checked the call history.

Sure enough, the screen displayed dozens of missed calls.

More than a dozen of the calls were from Gu Yutang, and one was from her friend Chen Fang; they were probably all worried about her safety.

"This is outrageous! They missed so many calls."

Lin Yue murmured to himself, thinking that he must have switched the bracelet to silent mode when he was fighting the star beast, which was why he hadn't heard the ring.

"Alright, alright, Mom, I'm fine now," Lin Yue comforted her, then sent Gu Yutang a message to let her know she was safe.

"It's alright, it's alright." Lin's mother patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, the anxiety on her face finally fading a bit.

"I'm relieved to see you're alright."

"Gurgle, gurgle~" A hungry sound came from Lin Yue's stomach.

The battle with the star beast had really drained his energy.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin's mother immediately smiled and spoke gently:

"Yue'er, are you hungry? Look at my memory, I was so worried about you that I forgot you must be starving. Mom will go and make you some food, it'll be ready soon."

While waiting for the food to cook, Lin Yue didn't sit idle; he made a video call with Gu Yutang.

After exchanging greetings with Gu Yutang, he quickly hung up the phone, and the screen switched to a group chat.

The Little Tyrants of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School

[99+ Messages]

This is the class group for the elite class of Jiangcheng Wuke Affiliated Middle School.

Lin Yue opened the group chat, and messages instantly flooded the screen:

"Damn, have you guys heard? A star beast suddenly appeared in Jiangcheng today."

"I heard about it. I was watching a TV drama when a warning suddenly appeared telling us not to go out."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Bing sent a message:

"How terrifying! I never imagined there would be star beasts here. I'd only ever seen them in textbooks before. I never thought they'd actually appear."

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you," Zhao Tianyu said.

"Get lost!" Shen Bing retorted.

The group chat immediately became lively, with everyone joking and teasing each other, which eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. This Star Beast crisis has been resolved, so there's no need for everyone to worry too much," Guo Jingyao said.

"Oh right, I heard from my dad that this time the Star Beast was killed by a high school student! That's amazing!"

"High school students? My god, that's incredible! Even we elite students might not be able to do that!"

......

Watching everyone in the group chat discussing it, with some even speculating about who the high school student who killed the star beast was.

Lin Yue suddenly felt a little bored, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he turned off the bracelet.

"Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear." Lin Yue opened his textbook.

Half an hour later, the aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of rice wafted into Lin Yue's nose.

"It smells so good." Lin Yue put down the book in his hand and followed the scent to the living room.

Because of the rush, the meal prepared by Lin's mother was not very elaborate, but eating meat in large chunks gave Lin Yue a feeling of returning to simplicity.

"Eat, eat, eat!" At this moment, Lin Yue only had one thought in his mind: to eat heartily.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, taking bites of rice and meat. The satisfaction he felt instantly dispelled all his fatigue.

"Fighting against star beasts is far more exhausting than fighting against martial artists!"

Seeing Lin Yue eating heartily, a smile finally appeared on Lin's mother's face, something she hadn't done in a long time.

As the saying goes, a good appetite means good health. Lin Yue can eat a lot, so his health must be fine.

As she served food to Lin Yue, she reminded him, "Eat slowly, don't choke. If you're not full, Mom will make you more."

Meanwhile, in the mayor's office of Jiangcheng City.

"What? The Star Beasts' activity range has already spread to Jiangcheng?" Chen Deming exclaimed in shock.

"Why are you only saying this now!" Chen Deming said angrily, looking at one of his subordinates.

As the mayor of Jiangcheng, if this attack by the Star Beasts causes casualties among the people of Jiangcheng, it will definitely be a major stain on his career.

If a mayor cannot even protect his own citizens, how can he talk about loving his people like his own children?

The subordinate who was scolded by Chen Deming looked ugly and dared not talk back.

After a while, another subordinate came into the mayor's office to report for duty.

"Report, report!" the man shouted.

"Speak," Chen Deming said, his voice carrying an air of authority despite his lack of anger.

"Mayor, we have just received news that the Star Beast crisis has been successfully resolved. The Star Beasts were killed on the spot, and there were no casualties or major property damage."

Upon hearing this, Chen Deming's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"These are photos from the scene."

After looking at the photos, Chen Deming said in a low voice:

"Everyone, immediately grab your weapons and protective armor, and follow me to the site where the Star Beasts appeared."

"Strengthen security in the surrounding area, guard against further attacks from the star beasts, and ensure the safety of citizens!"
