Chapter 9

The protagonist this season is too hard to handle!

He can see through everything!

Chapter 12: Lu Shu’s System

The living room, which wasn't very spacious,

looked a bit crowded after the *Inspirational Youth* production crew joined in.

But Lu Shu clearly didn't care at all.

He moved nimbly between the crew members,

first changing his shoes, then his clothes,

and finally, after carefully washing his hands,

he came before the production crew.

"Please don't point the camera at me for a moment."

"Oh, oh, okay. Do we need to step aside?"

"No need."

The production crew thought Lu Shu was about to do something private.

So the cameraman even specifically pointed the lens at the ceiling.

But then they saw,

Lu Shu sitting on the sofa, pulling open the coffee table, and taking out a "beckoning cat."

Then, with his back to everyone,

he fished out the four hundred-yuan bills he’d earned from his part-time job from his pocket,

and carefully stuffed them into the mouth of the "beckoning cat."

Even after stuffing the money in,

he smiled with satisfaction and patted the beckoning cat on the head.

"You had us move the camera just to save money..."

Looking at the satisfied smile on Lu Shu's face,

Su Mu was speechless.

"There are a lot of viewers in your livestream room."

Lu Shu explained.

Su Mu understood.

He was afraid of thieves eyeing it, afraid of thieves stealing it...

"But our production crew is still here."

"Doesn't this spot where you save money expose it? Aren't you afraid we'll steal it?"

Su Mu’s intention was to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

But the next moment,

*Swish!*

She saw Lu Shu’s icy gaze sweep over.

"You want to try?"

The people from the production crew felt a chill run down their backs.

They all silently recited in their hearts,

We wouldn't dare...

In the following footage,

Lu Shu was like a normal college student,

tidying up a bit,

going to the shower room to bathe,

and then ducking into the kitchen to busy himself.

When he finally came out, he was holding a bowl of fragrant instant noodles.

At this moment,

Su Mu finally understood what Lu Shu meant earlier when he said he was going home to eat.

It turned out he just came home to cook a bowl of instant noodles.

Food outside isn't healthy,

but cooking instant noodles is healthy?

It’s just that these noodles...

Why do they smell so fragrant?

She had never felt instant noodles were so tempting!

In front of the camera,

Lu Shu sat at the dining table, eating the bowl of noodles with focus.

The slurping sound of him eating the noodles

made the production crew gulp uncontrollably.

Su Mu leaned over to take a look.

There was also a sausage and two eggs in the bowl.

But there was only one bowl of noodles,

and he hadn't made any for them...

*Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.*

Lu Shu, who was slurping noodles, was interrupted by the sound of a stomach growling wildly.

He looked up, somewhat stunned.

"What, you guys didn't eat either?"

The production crew rolled their eyes wildly.

No kidding...

You’re only just realizing that now!

"You should have said so earlier."

Lu Shu stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

"It’s not free."

"Twenty yuan per person for food costs; put it on the table yourselves."

"Although it’s a bit expensive, the noodles I cook are very fragrant."

It was only 20 yuan;

the production crew could afford it.

The main thing was that bowl of noodles;

it really did smell delicious.

But this scene

made the netizens in the livestream burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Student Lu Shu is eating alone, and the production crew is almost starving to death!"

"He didn't make food for the crew, pfft, hahaha!"

"But Student Lu Shu finally found his conscience."

"I don't know why, but watching Lu Shu eat noodles makes me hungry too."

"It seems like that bowl of noodles is really delicious!"

Actually, no one noticed,

but when Lu Shu was eating the noodles,

everyone felt their mouths watering uncontrollably.

It was as if that ordinary bowl of instant noodles was different from the normal ones.

After bustling about for a while,

a steaming bowl of noodles was placed in front of everyone on the production crew.

Just smelling that fragrance,

everyone couldn't help but drool.

Su Mu looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her and swallowed hard.

It also had a sausage and two eggs.

With this configuration, the 20 yuan was well spent.

Unable to wait, she took a small taste.

Su Mu’s eyes widened instantly.

"So..."

"So delicious!"

Everyone has cooked instant noodles,

but she had never felt

that a bowl of instant noodles could be this delicious!

She couldn't stop!

After the first bite,

she absolutely couldn't stop!

For a time,

the only sound left in the entire room was the slurping of noodles.

Lu Shu had already started cleaning up his own bowl and chopsticks.

This reaction from the production crew was within his expectations.

Just as he said before,

the noodles he cooks

are very fragrant!

He had the "Instant Noodle Master" title redeemed from the system!

It could even satisfy Lu Lu Lu Xiaomian’s picky palate.

Let alone anyone else.

That’s right,

Lu Shu had a golden finger.

After transmigrating to this parallel world,

the system he awakened had a very warm name.

[Ordinary Life].

It had two panels and hundreds of redeemable skills.

[Life Panel]

[Combat Panel]

Over the past 20-plus years,

he had already redeemed quite a few skills from these two system panels.

For example, from the [Life Panel],

[Instant Noodle Master], [Extraordinary Memory], [Little Expert at Fishing], [Foreign Language Mastery], [Milk Tea Master]...

And from the [Combat Panel],

[Firearm Proficiency], [Assassin’s Cultivation], [Combat Proficiency], [Little Expert at Demolition], [Sniper Master]...

These skills,

some had time limits,

and some were permanent.

The types were different, and the points required for redemption were also different.

Regarding this [Ordinary Life] golden finger,

Lu Shu was very satisfied.

There were no messy tasks,

and he didn't need to show off in front of people.

When he needed to use something, he just opened the panel and redeemed it.

The only thing he wasn't very satisfied with

was probably that the redemption points had to be bought with money.

One hundred-yuan bill could buy 100 redemption points,

and 100 redemption points,

in all likelihood, could only be used in the [Life Panel]

to redeem a skill with a time limit.

Accumulated over these years,

the amount of money Lu Shu spent on redeeming skills was not small,

and a lot of it was to satisfy Lu Lu Lu Xiaomian’s cravings!

That was why during winter and summer breaks,

he worked so diligently at part-time jobs abroad.

But this was only part of the reason for his poverty.

His money,

the real bulk of his spending,

was elsewhere.

*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*

Just then,

a series of vibrations sounded in the room,

waking everyone up from their noodle-slurping.

"Whose phone is ringing?"

"Not mine, whose is it?"

"Not mine either, I don't know..."

And when the production crew was searching everywhere,

they saw Lu Shu walking toward the balcony.

"It’s mine."

Then he fished out something resembling an old-fashioned brick phone from a pile of clutter.

It was precisely that thing that was vibrating continuously.

"Is this... a brick phone?"

"There’s actually a phone from the ancient era?"

"Wow, this brick phone still works!"

The netizens in the livestream were also having their horizons broadened.

But Su Mu recognized it.

"It’s not a brick phone."

"That’s a satellite phone..."

"Could it be!"

A call from a satellite phone?

Su Mu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

And on the other side,

Lu Shu answered the phone casually.

"Hello?"

He started with a string of extremely fluent English.
