Chapter 40

Early the next morning.

Lin Chen had already contacted Ruan Lingxue.

The two of them prepared to go to school together.

On the way, Ruan Lingxue couldn’t hold the excitement in her heart.

“Lin Shu, you’re amazing!”

“Ah, what’s wrong?” Lin Shu looked at Ruan Lingxue in surprise and blushed. “What did I do?”

“Your Energy Polymer. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how long it would have taken for my Dark World to develop. However, many creatures have already appeared in my Dark World last night.”

“It’s just that they’re a little weak.” Ruan Lingxue stuck out her little tongue helplessly.

When Lin Shu saw Ruan Lingxue’s expression, he shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s alright. Anyway, we still have a lot of time. You’ve just become a Creator.”

“It will definitely develop very quickly.”

Unlike Ruan Lingxue, Lin Shu was now full of confidence about what might happen next.

When Lin Shu and Ruan Lingxue arrived at the school gate, they realized that there were reporters outside.

Lin Shu was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Ruan Lingxue asked around and found out that it was because Lin Shu’s performance yesterday had already gone viral and many people knew about it.

These reporters were here to look for Lin Shu.

Seeing so many reporters, Lin Shu subconsciously wanted to escape. However, before he could move, he was surrounded by the reporters.

“You’re Student Lin, right? How do you feel now, Student Lin? Have there been any unusual changes in your small world?”

“Student Lin, may I ask how you expanded the size of your world to this extent in such a short period of time? Do you have any tricks?”

The reporters were chattering non-stop. Lin Shu felt like his head was about to explode.

However, there was nothing he could do with these people.

Just as Lin Shu was at a loss, Qin Sumei arrived with a group of teachers.

They clearly knew that this would happen. The security guards pushed the reporters away and successfully rescued Lin Shu from them. This scene could be said to be quite spectacular.

What surprised Lin Shu was that there was another gentleman in the office.

“Teacher Qin, this is?”

Although he did not know him, Lin Shu could sense a special aura from him.

It was a powerful aura that only existed in the upper class.

At this moment, the man smiled at Lin Shu and extended his hand. “Student Lin, my name is Hu Jinchun. I’m here on behalf of the empire to compliment and reward the two of you for your achievements. I’ll also give you some rewards.”

Hu Jinchun’s smile was very gentle, making him seem easy to get close to.

However, Lin Shu felt threatened.

On the other side, Xu Ping also smiled and said, “Lin Shu, our school won’t lie to you. This time, we’ve prepared five Level B cards. You can choose any one.”

As he spoke, he placed the few Level C resource cards on the table.

Those things were indeed very rare, but the school took out five cards for Lin Shu to choose from. It was truly generous.

Lin Shu took a look.

One was about rain.

One was to accelerate the growth of crops.

One was to increase the chance of animal husbandry.

Apart from that, there was also a card with infrastructure talent and one that increased oxygen content in the ecological environment.

Most of these were useless to Lin Shu.

However, he was very curious about this infrastructure talent.

“I’ll take this!”

As Lin Shu spoke, he picked up the Craftsmanship card on the table.

Hu Jinchun was stunned for a moment and asked, “Xiao Lin, are you sure? This infrastructure card is not the best among these few cards!”

He really didn’t expect Lin Shu to not choose a resource card.

Wasn’t this a joke?

To Hu Jinchun’s doubts, Lin Chen only smiled and said, “Mr. Hu, it’s very troublesome to balance the ecology of the world with external forces. The cards that can change rainwater and oxygen content have no effect on me.”

As for crops and animal husbandry, Lin Shu could obtain them or find tricks through simulations.

That was why Lin Shu chose the Craftsmanship card.

But no matter what, Lin Shu’s choice was still scary enough.

Hu Jinchun did not expect Lin Shu to pick the card he wanted so decisively.

However, from Lin Shu’s words just now, he knew that this kid had real talent. He did not need to worry about anything at all.

“I didn’t expect that although Student Lin has just become a Creator, he has already accumulated so much experience. It seems that he has learned a lot!”

Hu Jinchun smiled and sighed.

Qin Sumei also said from the side, “Of course. Lin Shu’s learning ability is very good!”

Lin Shu smiled.

In the room, although Xu Ping did not show it on his face, he was overjoyed in his heart.

This infrastructure card was specially put here as a trap for Lin Shu. He did not expect Lin Shu to really take it. This saved him a great loss.

Just as Xu Ping was thinking this, Hu Jinchun took out two Level B cards.

“On behalf of the Empire, I’ll give a card to each of you. I hope it can help you!” Hu Jinchun said as he handed the card over.

Lin Shu glanced at it.

What he gave Ruan Lingxue was a card that was specially used in the Dark Material World. It was enough to make the Dark Material World more resourceful.

What Lin Shu got was a card that could increase the movement of the earth’s crust. That card could allow the small world to produce all kinds of minerals, which was very suitable for Lin Shu.

Seeing this, Lin Shu knew that Hu Jinchun must have investigated them beforehand.

“Our understanding of you guys will be a little more comprehensive than you think,” Hu Jinchun explained with a smile. “That’s why we can choose a talent card that suits you guys.”

Lin Shu nodded and did not take it to heart.

At this moment, a few teachers walked up and said with a smile, “Mr. Hu, why don’t we take a photo together?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s take a photo!” Xu Ping was also excited.

Lin Shu wanted to refuse. He didn’t like taking photos.

However, seeing that Hu Jinchun had agreed, he could only helplessly cooperate.

It was the same for Ruan Lingxue and Lin Shu.

The two of them were quickly pulled by a group of teachers and reporters to take photos. It was simply miserable.

This went on until noon before they finally broke free from the school.

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

It was unimaginable that these reporters were so crazy.

However, he had more guesses about Hu Jinchun. To be able to attract so much attention, Hu Jinchun’s identity was definitely not simple. It seemed like he had to go back and investigate.

“Lin Shu, where are you going next?”

Lin Shu thought for a moment. There was nothing important to do now, so he decided to take a look at real estate.

After all, now that he had money, it was time to change his nest.
