The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

To Luo Shu's surprise, after learning this, Kurumizaka Ruri and Sasaki Setsuna both tacitly gave up on joining in the fun.

The reason given by Kurumizaka Ruri was that she went to help Tsutsumi Mari deal with the affairs of the idol research club, while Sasaki Setsuna said that she had made an appointment with Class C's class monitor Chizuru Shiina to visit the library together.

Luo Shu knew very well why Liuli and Xuecai gave up joining in the fun. They probably felt guilty about cheating on each other today, so they reserved a chance for Hamasaki Reina to be alone with them.

Reina Hamasaki thought Luo Shu would forget about this matter, but she didn't expect him to bring it up on his own initiative.

Although she was a little surprised as to why Liuli and Xuecai didn't plan to join in the fun, she didn't think too much about it when she saw that the reasons given by her two best friends were very sufficient.

"Shu-kun, wait for me in Class B. I'll be there soon."

As Reina Hamasaki spoke, she put away her phone, said hello to her good friend and deskmate Setsuna Sasaki, and apologized to the class monitor Chizuru Shiina, saying that she had an appointment and could not accompany her to the library. Then she left Class C and rushed to Class B.

After seeing the news, Luo Shu immediately called out to Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui and Yoshida Xiao who wanted to leave the class.

"Yoshida-san, and Takamine-san, where are you two going?"

"After school, of course I go home."

Yoshida smiled and answered without hesitation.

Luo Shu looked at her and saw that she seemed to have really forgotten the appointment with Luo Shu and others to talk about it this afternoon, so he had to remind her.

"Didn't you two forget that we agreed to have a good chat sometime after school?"

When Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui heard Luo Shu mention this, she immediately grabbed Yoshida Xiao's hand and looked at her awkwardly, "Yoshida classmate, I almost forgot about this."

"Ah?" Yoshida Xiao was stunned after hearing what Luo Shu said, then looked at Luo Shu embarrassedly, and then was obediently pulled back to Class B classroom by Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui.

Immediately afterwards, Hamasaki Reina rushed into Class B classroom.

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

"It's okay, you came just in time."

Luo Shu looked at the four of them who were the only ones left in Class B and breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that everyone has left, you guys can continue the topic you didn't finish discussing earlier."

The three girls looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

Luo Shu looked at the three women in silence. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to start a conversation.

Chapter 33: Bet with Yoshida Xiao

The three girls didn't expect Luo Shu to take the initiative to start the conversation.

Therefore, when they heard him speak, they subconsciously pricked up their ears.

"Since you three don't know what to say, let me start."

Luo Shu considered his wording for a moment, because he had previously learned about the general content of the conversation between the three women from Reina Hamasaki, so he chose a more direct entry point this time.

"Yoshida-san, are you feeling strange about what I asked Takamine-san to tell you?"

Yoshida smiled when she heard that, raised her head to glance at Luo Shu's face, then quickly lowered her head. She replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Yeah."

"I admit that what I said was indeed very confusing." Luo Shu bluntly stated his intentions, "But, Yoshida-san, please believe that I have no ill intentions."

"I know." Yoshida Xiao naturally understood that the words that Luo Shu asked Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui to relay to him sounded strange, but in fact did not contain any malicious elements, but seemed to be more mixed with a sense of worry.

She was very surprised that Luo Shu was so concerned about her, as if he treated her as a child who would not cry for help if she encountered an accident.

This is what makes her feel depressed.

Little did she know that in the original work of "Metamorphosis", after she met the drug addict gangster, she was quickly deceived by his words and her IQ dropped even lower than that of a child. At least a child knows that they need to hold the alarm when they meet a strange stranger.

"Yoshida-kun, I specifically asked Gaofeng-kun to tell you to yell for help if you encounter an emergency. If you can't yell, yell for help in your heart. It sounds like I'm treating you like a child, but in fact, I think you're far less alert to strangers than the average child."

Luo Shu's remarks were sharp, pointed, direct and sarcastic, making Hamasaki Reina and Kotakamine Kaho suddenly nervous.

However, after seeing the look in Luo Shu's eyes, they finally chose to remain silent.

Yoshida Xiao was a little angry when she heard Luo Shu say that. She mustered up the courage to retort, "Class monitor, how come I can't compare to a child?"

"Yoshida-san, do you think the three of us are not strangers to you?"

Luo Shu's question made Yoshida laugh for a moment.

"Let's put it this way. If the three of us had ulterior motives towards you, or even if I had instructed Gaofeng and Reina to help me, using the excuse of chatting to keep you here, then even if I were to bully you, do you think you would have the strength to resist?"

Yoshida Xiao's face turned pale when he heard this.

"Yoshida-san, do you still think you're as wary of strangers as a child?"

Luo Shu shook his head at Reina Hamasaki and Kaho Kotakamine who were about to speak, and then continued to speak slowly.

"Children's backpacks all have alarms attached to them. This is because their parents know that they are still young and it would be difficult for them to escape if they encounter bad people, so an alarm is necessary. But Yoshida-san, it doesn't seem like you have an alarm on your backpack right now."

Yoshida Xiao fell silent after hearing this, and curled up like a quail.

"Yoshida-kun, you need to understand that there is no such thing as love or hate without reason in this world."

Luo Shu looked at the country girl in front of him, sighed, and softened his tone again. "So, the words I asked you to remember are essentially to remind you why the alarm hanging on your schoolbag when you were a child made you feel safe."

"I don't quite understand." Yoshida Xiao raised her head. She vaguely felt that Luo Shu seemed to want to tell her a very important truth, but she still couldn't fully understand it at this moment. She immediately whispered in a trembling voice, "Squad Leader, am I really stupid?"

"You're not stupid, you're just a little too naive."

Luo Shu decided it would be best to make things clear, lest this silly girl be at a loss if she encountered an unexpected situation later. "There's a saying in China: 'Tigers have no intention of harming people, but people are willing to harm tigers.' Do you understand what this means?"

Yoshida smiled upon hearing this. This time, instead of lowering his head, he mustered up his courage, looked at Luo Shu, and gave a serious and affirmative answer, "I understand."

"No, you don't understand." Luo Shu looked at Yoshida with red eyes and a stubborn look on his face. His tone returned to being cold. "You just listened to my words at this moment, but I'm afraid you haven't really taken them to heart. If I'm guessing correctly, you are very dissatisfied with me now, right?"

"I do not have."

"Whether there is one or not, how about this, let's make a bet?"

"bet?"

"Well, don't worry. I won't ask Yoshida-san to do anything if he loses. If Yoshida-san wins, I'll take the initiative to apologize to you. How about that?"

"Okay." Yoshida smiled when he heard that. He glanced at Hamasaki Reina and Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui, and found that they were full of worry. Suddenly, a trace of dissatisfaction rose in his heart, "What do you want to bet on, class leader?"

"Let's bet. After you change your appearance, will there be more people in Class B who will actively approach you to talk to you?"

Luo Shu gave a meaningful smile. "Also, after you change your appearance, you'll soon be approached by strangers on your way home. What do you think?"

"That's impossible." Yoshida laughed. She wasn't very confident about her appearance, or rather, she wasn't very confident about her face at the moment. She said self-deprecatingly, "Squad leader, even if I changed my appearance, it's impossible for someone like me to be immediately popular."

"Then Yoshida-san, do you want to make this bet with me?"

Luo Shu just smiled at Yoshida and said, "I bet that there are always more mediocre people in this world who judge people by their appearance. Those who can truly see through the appearance and see the heart are rare and worthy of your sincere love and deep friendship."

"I don't believe it." When Yoshida Xiao heard Luo Shu's words, she instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

Because Luo Shu's words skipped over the most real surface of the real world that she had never seen. Beneath the surface was the ugly other side of society that she had never seen before. It was the malice formed by the dark side of human nature towards the vast majority of people who were ignorant of the world like Yoshida Sho.

"So, you want to bet?"

"it is good."

Yoshida smiled at Luo Shu, who looked calm, and stretched out his hand, saying firmly, "Let's high-five to swear."

"Okay." Luo Shu reached out his hand and high-fived her. Then he turned to look at Hamasaki Reina and Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui, blinked, and said, "Next, Xiao Gaofeng and Reina will help Yoshida-san with his makeover."

"Shall we do it?" Hamasaki Reina was stunned when she saw this. She turned her gaze to Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui's face and asked, "Xianghui, do you have any questions?"

"No." At this time, Xiao Gaofeng Xiangsui understood Luo Shu's good intentions in making this bet.

She looked at Yoshida with a smile in her eyes full of pity.

Yoshida-san, I really envy you for still being so innocent at your age.

However, Kaho Kotaka's face didn't show any unusual expression. She just smiled at Yoshida quietly and asked gently, "Yoshida-san, if you don't mind, let Reina and I teach you how to put on makeup and dress yourself up, right?"

"Yeah." Yoshida Xiao vaguely realized that Luo Shu seemed to see through her inner thoughts and wanted to change her. This made her feel strange as if someone had seen through her thoughts. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Then I'll leave it to you two."

But in fact, deep down in her heart, she did not feel disgusted or disgusted by this strange feeling.

Because, she now understood that Luo Shu had never intended to reveal his true feelings to her face from the beginning.

Even if Yoshida Xiao was slow-witted, he now understood that the kindness Luo Shu showed to him had gone beyond the level of treating an ordinary classmate.

Monitor, why are you so nice to me?

This feeling of being cared for...

How long has it been since I last experienced this?

Even my mother...

"Okay, now that the bet is done, I'll trouble you two to help Yoshida-san with his makeup and dressing."

Luo Shu stood up and winked at Hamasaki Reina. "It's getting late, Reina. Do you want to go back with me, or with Xiao Gaofeng and the others?"

"Today, I won't go home with Shu-kun."

Reina Hamasaki naturally understood that Luo Shu wanted her to stay and accompany Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui and Yoshida Xiao. She was not quite sure why Luo Shu asked her to do so, but when she thought of what Tanaka Hatsu had done before, she overcame the idea of ​​going home with Luo Shu.

"Okay, if there's anything, let's talk in the group."

Luo Shu heard this and reached out to pinch Hamasaki Reina's pretty face with satisfaction. "I'm really looking forward to seeing the brand new Yoshida-san tomorrow after her transformation."

"Don't worry, Xianghui and I will definitely surprise Shu-kun." Hearing this, Hamasaki Reina teased confidently, "When the time comes, Shu-kun, please don't be shocked by Xiao-chan's new image."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Luo Shu said this, nodded slightly to Xiao Gaofeng Xianghui and Yoshida Xiao, then packed up his things and turned to leave Class B classroom.

[The second volume has come to an end for now. The next volume is the Demonic World arc. If you don't like it, you can skip it. It will be about thirty chapters long. I hope everyone will be aware of this.]

Volume 3: The Demonic Evil

Chapter 1: Preparations before summoning Shiba Miyuki

After Luo Shu left the classroom, he immediately sent a text message in the discussion group, asking Kurumizaka Ruri and Sasaki Setsuna if he needed him to wait for them after school today.

After seeing the message in the group, the two girls were quite surprised and asked each other privately whether Lena was with him.

Luo Shu told the truth.

The two girls felt ashamed when they learned that Hamasaki Reina had the opportunity to be alone with Luo Shu, but gave up this opportunity in order to help Yoshida Xiao fulfill the bet with Luo Shu.

Therefore, they didn't feel comfortable asking Luo Shu to wait for them to go home together.

After seeing the replies from the two girls, Luo Shu was shocked to find that he had to go home alone on the first day of school, and he suddenly felt complicated.

However, he suddenly remembered that he still needed to go to Tokyo Port District tonight to discuss the truth at Boyman's residence. Now that the three women were not around, he could skip explaining to them his plan to go out to the port district tonight.

More importantly, he can take this opportunity to summon the fantasy character Shiba Miyuki to his side through [Fantasy Exchange].

With this in mind, after leaving the gate of Chengshen Academy, he found a secluded place to communicate and teleported back to the Sky Island World. Then, after transiting through the Sky Island World, he quickly returned to his bedroom on the eleventh floor of Qianying Apartment.

After Luo Shu put away his schoolbag, uniform and other things, he thought about it again and again. To be on the safe side, he finally chose to perform his first summoning of fantasy characters in the Sky Island world.

The Sky Island world is as empty as ever.

Luo Shu looked around and felt that this place was completely lifeless.

Without the embellishment of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish, this empty island world is even more desolate than a deserted island.

However, he had seen the difficulty of building a natural ecosystem in the Sky Island World through the [Fantasy Exchange] function, and the number of World Origin Points required was an astronomical figure.

Moreover, Luo Shu always felt that if he wanted to make the Sky Island World truly lively, he should not rely on the seemingly convenient method of [Fantasy Exchange].

"Can I trade with other worlds and bring their animals and plants to Sky Island World?

After all, the World Tree Terminal encourages you to plunder the essence of other worlds. Judging from the word "plunder," the World Tree Terminal clearly intends to allow you to directly plunder resources from other worlds, which may also include plundering the ecology and even natural resources of other worlds.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the proposal of starting a company that Kurumizaka Ruri had mentioned to him before.

Perhaps, forming a power group of his own in the derivative world where Liuli and the others are can help him improve the construction progress of the Sky Island world as soon as possible.

Luo Shu did not expect his sky island world to expand rapidly to a planetary scale comparable to Blue Star, but he felt that it was a waste to leave one hundred square kilometers of land idle.

He felt that he still needed to make use of the 100 square kilometers of land in the Sky Island World as soon as possible.

At least you can try to build a small city of your own in the Sky Island world.

However, Luo Shu felt his scalp tingling when he thought about the resources needed to build a city.

"From the perspective of collecting resources to build a city, it is very necessary to run a company in Liuli and her derivative world and make money."
