Chapter 5: Changing Image and Chance Encounter

In the early morning of Lucas City, the sky was slightly bright, and the air still had the coolness of the night. A train hummed from afar and drove into the platform.

A few passengers walked out of the door, and soon they had all left. At this time, a group of people walked out of the last carriage. They seemed to be together but were clearly divided. The one in the front was a man wearing a gray windbreaker and a face as sharp as a knife. Behind him were several men and women. Half a step to his side was an old man with gray hair but sharp eyes, and behind him were also several people.

"Everyone in the Special Affairs Department, since we have arrived at our destination, let's say goodbye!"

The old man suddenly spoke.

"Goodbye."

The man in the windbreaker replied calmly, and then his face gradually became serious when he saw the old man leading people past him and the group got into the car that had been waiting for a long time. A woman behind him stepped forward and whispered: "Captain, the people from the Three Gods came here at this time, I'm afraid their purpose is not simple, do you want to..."

"Don't make trouble." The man in the windbreaker shook his head slightly: "The most important thing now is to find out whether the information is true. The bishop-level figures of the original sect dare to lurk in this small city. The last time a figure of this level appeared, half of the Naya Forest was destroyed, and all parties suffered heavy losses!"

"This sect is full of lunatics. Wherever they appear, there will be disasters!"

"The bishop of the original sect!"

The woman also looked heavy. As famous as their madness, they also have their weird and powerful strength. To deal with such people, even if it is just to confirm the information, there is a great risk.

"What should we do now?"

"Let's go to the mayor's hall first. We need the assistance of official forces." The man looked up at the sky, as if he saw the coming blood.

At this time, Lu En naturally didn't know that he was indirectly connected to a big man, but was thinking about how to strengthen his own strength.

Power can be manifested in various forms, including money, power, and weapons and equipment. For Lu En now, the most likely thing is to improve his various attributes. With the food spirit, he can easily improve his strength as long as he finds the materials.

However, where can he find the materials?

In class, Lu En's fingers turned the pen flexibly, but what he was thinking about was something that had nothing to do with the class. Last night, Lu En had to return home before Lu Guang. Lu Guang naturally didn't know that it was his son who saved him, and Lu En naturally wouldn't say it. The two of them kept it a secret from each other, and their days went on as usual, but Lu En's mentality had changed dramatically.

Relying on learning to get ahead and gain wealth and social status is certainly the safest choice. Lu En, who has greatly improved his spirit and is a genius, is also very confident, but he now feels that it is too slow. He is only in middle school now, and there is still university after middle school. Countless accidents may happen in a long time.

These possible accidents will not happen to Lu En like last night. What if he is not there? What if the other party is holding a gun or even something more terrifying instead of a knife?

This is not the peaceful and quiet earth in the previous life. Judging from the strange black book, this world is undoubtedly more dangerous and has more opportunities for him because he has the Soul Eater Game.

The sense of crisis that always exists in his heart makes him eager to strengthen his strength.

It's a pity that Jamie still didn't come today, but even if he came, Lu En didn't dare to really ask.

"Lu En, come up and continue to solve this problem!"

However, no matter which world, it is unbearable for teachers to be distracted in class. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ear, and when he looked up, he met the unhappy eyes of the math teacher. A problem on the blackboard was half solved, but half of the blackboard was already written. Judging from its complexity, it is estimated that most of the students in the class can't solve it. It is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

"Hehe!"

"It's going to be fun!"

There were chuckles in the classroom, and mocking eyes shot from all directions, waiting to see Lu En's joke.

But to their disappointment, this black-haired boy who usually had no sense of existence in the class, was cowardly and had poor grades did not panic. Instead, he walked out of his seat with a calm face, took the chalk handed by the teacher, and squinted his eyes at the question on the blackboard.

"It looks like he can solve it."

"It's as if he can really solve it!"

The mocking voices were louder. Seeing Lu En's serious look, almost half of the classroom laughed. No one believed that he could solve this problem, even the teacher thought so, but this made Lu En look ridiculous, didn't it?

Fortunately, in order to deepen my impression last night, I flipped through the middle school math book again. This question is not difficult!

Lu En shook his head slightly. This question was not the most difficult, but it was very misleading. It seemed that the previous formulas could be used to solve it, but in fact they were all dead ends. He needed to find another way. He held the chalk and did not follow the teacher's steps to solve it. Instead, he started from the beginning.

Although he could solve it by following the steps, it was too time-consuming, and the get out of class was not far away.

Shasha

The sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard rang out. Seeing him start a new line, the classroom immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter. The math teacher on the side turned black, but as the symbols and numbers took shape under Lu En's hands, the classroom fell into a strange silence.

"No, no, you can pretend so well?"

A fat man sitting in the front row muttered to himself, his smile stagnating: "Although I don't know what he wrote, he seems to be very impressive." This is the reaction of a poor student, and the real academic master, a girl with a ponytail and black-framed glasses, opened her mouth unconsciously:

"How is it possible, there is such a solution?"

"I didn't expect it." She turned her eyes to the teacher who was also surprised, and her heart was even more shocked. "No, even the teacher didn't expect it, but how is this possible?"

Everyone looked at each other, shocked by Lu En's performance. Although most of them thought that Lu En was writing randomly, looking at the teacher who didn't say anything and looked surprised, they thought that Lu En might have really solved it correctly.

Snap.

In such a strange atmosphere, Lu En finally tapped the blackboard with chalk, finished, and looked at the math teacher calmly: "That's it, I changed my way of thinking and it might be faster, am I right, teacher?"

The math teacher looked at him a few times as if he was seeing him for the first time, and was doubtful: "Very good, go down."

Lu En nodded and slowly returned to his seat, receiving countless surprised or suspicious looks. In fact, he was secretly happy in his heart. He needed to change his previous image in the class. He couldn't do it without some explosive materials. From now on, he would gradually establish his image as a top student.

Black hair and black eyes will be discriminated against, but top students with black hair and black eyes will undoubtedly be less discriminated against. No matter which world, the poor students will appear guilty in front of the top students. This is a suppression from the knowledge level.

Moreover, in the process of solving the problem, Lu En even had time to do two things at the same time and had some ideas.

In the game of Soul Eater, the materials that turn into food are undoubtedly various monsters. However, in the real world, Lu En is not even sure whether there are monsters in this world. Even if there are, with his small body, it is hard to say who will be eaten by him.

But in the black book, he found another way. Although he has not opened it to read it, based on his impression, Lu En feels that this thing is a bit like an antique artifact left over from the past. It just so happens that in the boy's limited memory, he knows where these things may be.

After school, Peng Kasi was furious after failing to block people again. Lu En did not go home directly as usual, but got off the bus halfway, holding his schoolbag and running into an alley on the street. After turning around, he came to a busy street with a lot of people. The streets were almost full of stalls on both sides, and all kinds of items that looked old could be seen everywhere.

This is it.

Lu En plunged in, like a fish swimming into the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He looked at the stalls on both sides with great interest and commented on them with limited knowledge.

"Tsk tsk, the style of the First Dynasty, which idiot made this fake? Don't you have any brains?"

Looking at a wooden mask that looks old on the roadside, carved into a weird square face and long nose, Lu En looked at the stall owner with a mentally retarded look. The First Dynasty was officially recognized to be about 5,000 years old, but the public generally believed that the First Dynasty had ended 6,500 years ago. Things from that time have been preserved until now, and a piece of pottery is astronomical. This may be the reason why the other party is counterfeiting. After all, it's all cheating, so why not get the most valuable one.

But what kind of wood can last for 5,000 years without rotting? Lu En was really worried about the other party's IQ. It's easy to cheat if you get a stone one.

That's right, this is the famous antique street in Lucas City. Of course, like all similar places, 99% of it is full of fakes. If you want to find a bargain here, you only have luck besides your eyesight. Some things are even more real than the real ones. After all, technological progress is also in all aspects.

This was the only place Lu En could think of where he might find something like the Black Book. And unlike everyone around him, Lu En didn't need eyesight. He only needed to touch it with his hands to know whether it was what he needed. As for what would happen after he found it, he would find it first!

In this way, Lu En bent over and searched all the way. He looked no different from everyone around him. Of course, after walking a distance, his face was no different from some people.

No, no, still no!

Half an hour later, Lu En estimated that he had touched at least hundreds of antiques, whether real or fake, but none of them could make the food spirit react. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"You guys."

At this time, a conversation was heard not far away. Lu En's ears stood up and he keenly noticed the identity of the speaker.

Jamie, why didn't he go to school to come here?

Lu En stepped back a few steps and squeezed himself into the crowd, staring at the direction where the words came from. Sure enough, he saw Jamie walking by soon, followed by two strong bodyguards, walking hurriedly.

He seemed to be in trouble. Could it be because of the Black Book?

Lu En felt a little uneasy, and squeezed into the crowd again to hide his body. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he saw a burly man walking behind Jamie, following him closely without any disguise.

When the burly man passed by Lu En, his left palm suddenly felt hot.
