Dinner! Video!

After leaving the Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall, Lu Yuan rode his bicycle back home.

His mother Fang Wan hadn't finished work yet, so the entire rented apartment held only Lu Yuan alone.

With nothing else to do, Lu Yuan turned on the TV and checked the news.

"Tragedy! Ice Martial Saint Ye Mo was unfortunately surrounded and killed by three Ninth-order Beast Emperors. Great Xia has lost another Martial Saint!"

"After a decade, Beautiful Country has been exposed to someone awakening an SS-rank supernatural ability. According to the reporter's investigation, the news is highly likely true!"

"The conflict between Bear Country and Crow Country is intensifying, with signs it may escalate into war! Could Beautiful Country be pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"..."

"This world is still far from peaceful. I have to become stronger..."

Lu Yuan sighed.

After briefly browsing the news, Lu Yuan went to his room.

Then, from a corner by the wall, he took out his usual Hardwood Pole—his weapon for practicing spear technique.

That's right, Lu Yuan used the Hardwood Pole as a spear!

After all, a spear that could resonate with supernatural abilities cost at least six figures.

But Lu Yuan's family situation was rather awkward.

Buying such a spear would basically drain all their savings!

If he used an ordinary iron spear, channeling his ability would instantly turn the hard iron bar into a pile of "soft tofu," no better than the Hardwood Pole.

Lu Yuan gazed affectionately at the Hardwood Pole that had accompanied him for so long.

They say people forget their roots once they get rich!

Lu Yuan was no exception.

Once a total of 1.5 million Blue Star coins entered his account, he would go to the Supernatural Ability Hall to buy a new spear.

Like the one on the iron rack in the testing room at the Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall not long ago—he quite liked that one.

Thrust, lift, chop, sweep...

In the room, Lu Yuan repeatedly practiced various spear movements, sweat gradually soaking his back.

After a long while, he withdrew the Hardwood Pole and let out a turbid breath.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was already 5:50 PM!

Lu Yuan knew that in about ten minutes, his mother should be home!

But ten minutes passed, and Lu Yuan saw no sign of his mother.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

It wasn't until twenty minutes later that Lu Yuan, sitting in the living room, finally heard the sound of knocking...

Lu Yuan hurried over and opened the door.

There stood his mother Fang Wan, a smile as warm as spring breeze on her face, carrying a large bag of vegetables and meat in her hands.

And behind Fang Wan followed a middle-aged man.

After his mother entered the house, the middle-aged man carried a spear into the rented apartment, then left.

"Mom, this is..."

Lu Yuan looked at the spear on the floor with a complicated expression.

"Didn't you awaken a rare supernatural ability? This is a gift from Mom! How about it, are you happy?"

Fang Wan smiled gently.

"Happy."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He easily recognized that the spear on the floor was exactly the one he had used in the Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall earlier.

He had to admit, mother and son truly shared a telepathic connection.

He had been planning to buy it once the money arrived, but now it seemed he wouldn't need to.

"Go do your homework first. I'll call you when dinner's ready!"

Fang Wan picked up the large bag of vegetables and meat and headed for the kitchen.

But Lu Yuan stopped her and said, "Mom, you forgot—I've already been recruited by a university. I don't even need to take the college entrance exam. Where would I get homework?"

"Sorry, Mom's used to saying that, haha!"

Fang Wan laughed awkwardly, then walked into the kitchen.

Lu Yuan followed behind her. Though he couldn't cook, he could at least wash the vegetables.

In the warm atmosphere, time passed gradually, and dish after dish was set on the table.

Sweet and sour spare ribs, braised prawns, chopped pepper fish head...

They weren't particularly hard-to-make home-style dishes, but every single one was something Lu Yuan loved to eat.

"Is it good? If it's good, eat more!"

Fang Wan watched Lu Yuan wolfing down his food and said with a cheerful smile.

Seeing Lu Yuan eat more genuinely made her happy.

The supernatural energy eruption at the Extreme Supernatural Ability Hall, plus practicing his spear technique for several hours at home, had drained Lu Yuan's stamina enormously!

In one meal, Lu Yuan downed five bowls of rice!

With the food in his stomach, his hunger gradually faded, and he patted his belly with satisfaction.

"A Yuan, which university gave you a special recruitment offer?"

Only after Lu Yuan had eaten his fill did Fang Wan ask.

"Shencheng Supernatural University, in Kuandong Province."

Lu Yuan replied casually.

"Kuandong Province, that's a pretty good place!"

Fang Wan's smile was warm.

"Oh right, Mom, the high school and university gave me rewards totaling 1.5 million Blue Star coins. How about I buy you some makeup and handbags or something?"

Lu Yuan's mother, Fang Wan, had once been a school beauty—otherwise, she couldn't have given birth to a handsome son like Lu Yuan.

But now, under the heavy pressures of life, her beauty had long faded, and her face grew more haggard by the day.

Hearing that her son had achieved so much, it would be a lie to say Fang Wan wasn't happy.

"Keep all that money for yourself. I've heard supernatural ability users burn through a lot of cash. Besides, those are things for young girls—what would I do with them?"
