Chapter 18: Lei Zis Grievance

  ♂?,,

  I need recommendations! Thank you!

  ************************************************************

  One of the six university departments, Xingyuan Academy, suddenly announced that it would conduct a student exchange program with Dongwei University Department. This news was undoubtedly big news in the small city of Dongshang Weicheng.

  Who is Seiin? Thats one of the six major universities, its history far surpasses that of the current most prestigious Federal Comprehensive University, and its founder is Heinrich Vansanten, who is on par with the father of card theory...

  Every bit of brilliance in Xingyuan was dug up, and for a time, it seemed as if Xingyuan had become the pride of all the residents of Dongshang Weicheng.

  Dong Wei Academy also benefited from this and its students all walked with their heads held high and spirits lifted.

  The purpose of Xingyuans arrival at the East Weizhou Academy was also the most discussed topic. At some point, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xingyuan, who could only be looked up to, had actually come to the East Weizhou Academy, and many residents of Dongshang Weicheng heard the news for the first time with disdain, saying it was a fake message.

  The environment of Dongshang Weicheng seemed to have become clean and tidy overnight, with no more trash or vagrants on the streets. Everywhere was filled with workers painting walls, this was an order personally issued by the mayor.

  The number of visitors to Dongwei Academy has surged, and many people are very curious about where this unknown school was favored by the Star Academy. Just a week after the Star Academy announced this news, Dongwei Academy received more than 100 exchange letters from other schools.

  Chen Mu naturally didnt know any of this; he hadnt left the house in a long time. Even if he had known, he probably wouldnt have thought it had anything to do with him anyway.

  Train and learn as usual every day.

  He didnt know why he was like this and didnt want to know; he just didnt want himself to stop.

  Under this kind of self-abusive training and learning, his level has improved quite quickly.

  Chen Mu felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, one that seemed both long and short at the same time. As soon as he woke up from the dream, he felt somewhat estranged from himself.

  His entire body seemed to be filled with power. He can now easily lift heavy objects that previously required both hands with just one hand. In addition, his senses have become much more acute, and his explosive power and flexibility have increased. Relatively speaking, the muscles on his body did not increase by much.

  What he found most astonishing was that his body had become so flexible that it could almost bend at will, reminding him of the acrobats in a circus troupe. Their supple bodies could even twist and turn inside narrow pipes. But those were 12- or 13-year-old girls, who are naturally more flexible than boys from birth, and this was also the period when their bodies were most flexible.

  But what about myself? Im already sixteen years old, and a man at that.

  Of course, in Chen Mus eyes, there was no difference between boys and men, at least not for him.

  Although his training has made astonishing progress, his mood still carries a hint of grayness. These advancements cannot bring him any surprises. He now seems to have lost interest in everything except that mysterious card.

  He was still just mechanically training and learning, with a few habitual movements. However, his brain had already begun to recover its thinking abilities. But he wasnt thinking about the meaning of life or anything like that - that was too far-fetched for him. In fact, Uncle Huas death had a great impact on him, and sometimes he would involuntarily blurt out some sentimental remarks, but soon he would push these emotions, which he considered unnecessary, out of his mind.

  The dead are already dead, but the living must go on living.

  Life is real, hes not used to mixing in those so-called thoughts of the meaning of life. What he thinks about now is a most basic question, that is, living.

  Huashu has passed away, for Chenmu, its not only the permanent departure of someone who cared about him. It also means that from now on, he needs to find a new buyer for his one-star energy card. This is a big problem, a very big problem. If this problem isnt solved, everything else will be an illusion, unrealistic for him. He must solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Just then, Leizi arrived.

  Leizi walked in and fell straight onto Chen Mus bed, complaining non-stop: "Ah, its so comfortable, Im exhausted. Mu Tou, this broken bed seems to have become more comfortable."

  Chen Mu didnt mind him, got up and poured him a glass of water: "What brings you here today?"

  "Whatever." Lei Zi said aimlessly, then suddenly looked bitter and blurted out a sentence of emotion: "In this day and age, making a living is really fucking tough."

  As soon as he heard this, Chen Mu knew that the guy was probably here to pour out his grievances or vent about some hardship. He understood what he needed to do - nothing, just listen quietly.

  As expected, Lei Zi suddenly sat up with a resentful and worldly expression: "Wooden head, tell me, what kind of world is this? Ive worked so hard and spent so much energy, but that dead ghost took all the credit without saying a word. Huh, pretending to be human-like, and even calling himself the general manager!"

  In Lei Zis furious narrative, Chen Mu finally understood the whole story.

  Lei Zi was young and willing to work hard, entering the film industry, he quickly became familiar with the ins and outs. Having read books for a few years, combined with his own intelligence, he began to try writing screenplays himself. His behavior was discovered by the director, who praised him highly and promised on the spot that if he could produce a good script, he would be promoted to a formal screenwriter.

  Lei Zi, who had been thinking hard for a long time, finally came up with a satisfactory draft after exhausting his mind and energy. He handed it over to the director for review, and the director was also greatly surprised and delighted, immediately deciding to start production based on this draft.

  Seeing his hard work being valued, Lei Zi was happier than anyone else. He also looked forward to the appearance of Ka Ying more than anyone else. However, what he didnt expect was that after Ka Ying finished and entered the market, he discovered that the scriptwriters name on Ka Ying was actually the general managers name. He was struck by lightning on the spot and couldnt come back to his senses for a long time.

  When he found the director in a rage, the director just coldly threw him 50,000 euros and never mentioned promoting him to be an official screenwriter. Moreover, he threatened that if he spoke nonsense outside, he would be expelled from the company.

  What made Lei Zi feel both proud and suffocated was that this cartoon quickly became popular, and within just two weeks, it had already topped the sales chart. And that director also became a hot figure in the cartoon world thanks to this cartoon.

  Lei Zis anger and energy seemed to have been drained away with the end of his words, and he fell back onto the bed dejectedly. Chen Mu listened quietly, without making any expression. In fact, both he and Lei Zi had seen many things that were more unfair than this, but Lei Zi had invested too much of his heart and soul into this script, which was why he was so agitated. But in their rational minds, neither Lei Zi nor Chen Mu had ever believed that true fairness existed in this world.

  "Hows your study of the Phantom Card going?" Lei Zi asked Chen Mu weakly after half a day had passed.
