Chapter 153: Copy! Shadow Door!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Ren Xiaosu still greatly respected those in the teaching profession due to his relationship with two teachers, Zhang Jinglin and Jiang Wu.

He stood up and said honestly, “Teacher, I don’t know the answers to the questions on the blackboard since I’ve never learned them in the town’s school. I’m starting to catch up from the 10th grade curriculum.”

“Alright.” The math teacher nodded. “Stop passing around notes in class. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you may come to the staff room and ask me. My office is on the third floor.”

“Thank you, Teacher,” Ren Xiaosu said politely.

“Please sit down,” the math teacher said with a smile.

In fact, many of those who attended school in the stronghold would stop studying after 12th grade, because the university in the stronghold was not that big and the number of admission spots was limited. 90% of the students in the stronghold had no chance to further their studies.

After the students graduated from high school, they would immediately have to consider whether they wanted to find work or attend vocational schools to learn skills such as mechanics, agriculture, excavation, culinary arts, etc.

After they finished their studies, they would become the foundation of this stronghold.

There were high-end research laboratories in the stronghold, including the university that focused on research in various fields. University students in the stronghold were very valuable resources these days as they represented the knowledge structure of the stronghold.

But a complete society could not only consist of a superstructure 1. The base was indispensable too.

Just as the refugees needed to do basic work such as farming, mining, and similar menial tasks, most people in the stronghold were required to work basic jobs such as cleaning, greening 1, and so on.

During second period, Jiang Wu came into the classroom. The subject she taught was Chinese, but Chinese classes were generally held in third or fourth period. In this era, physics, chemistry, and mathematics were the most important subjects.

Jiang Wu stood at the lectern and said, “Settle down, everyone. You should know that our class has just been set up. We’re still missing a class monitor, a student councilor, and representatives for the various subjects. So I’d like to make use of this period to hold an election for those roles.”

A student named Zhu Peiyuan laughed and said, “There’s no need to vote. Let’s just appoint Ren Xiaosu as the class monitor.”

After the recent incidents, the relationship between these students and Ren Xiaosu had gotten much closer, and everyone approved of him too. Therefore, if they were going to elect a class monitor, everyone would choose Ren Xiaosu.

At this moment, someone asked jokingly, “Which Ren Xiaosu?”

“Haha, both of them should be elected. The guy will be the class monitor, and the girl will be the student councilor. It’ll be easier to differentiate them that way. We’ll address them as Monitor Ren Xiaosu and Councilor Ren Xiaosu from now on,” one of the female classmates named Bian Lingchen said wittily.

“So it’s settled then?” Jiang Wu smiled at everyone.

“Yes, it’s settled!” the group of students echoed.

In the last row, Ren Xiaosu wondered if the class monitor would get more subsidies. They just made the decision without asking for his opinion.

Yang Xiaojin had already put her cap back on. Ren Xiaosu looked at her and whispered, “What are the class monitor and student councilor for?”

“They’re responsible for ensuring that everyone studies hard,” Yang Xiaojin replied in brief. She felt it was meaningless to answer this question. In reality, the class monitor and student councilor were rather unimportant roles, but she did not want to explain it to Ren Xiaosu in detail. However, she did not expect her remark to end up becoming a disaster for her classmates.

Ren Xiaosu found that Yang Xiaojin did not seem to be attentive to any of today’s lessons. He wondered why this girl was even attending school. Could it be that her target was hidden here in the school? But that couldn’t be right either. If she wanted to assassinate someone in this school, she would just kill the target based on her straightforward character. It should not be that difficult for her. So Ren Xiaosu had some doubts about this matter.

After school, Yang Xiaojin took the lead and headed out of class first. Ren Xiaosu followed her silently.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu got an idea. He planned on finding out where Yang Xiaojin lived and if she was close to him.

After all, this girl had also bought those materials to make a bomb with. If she clashed with the Pyro Company, he would at least know where not to go.

However, Yang Xiaojin was walking towards a more and more remote place. When she came to a small alley, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw Yang Xiaojin turn around and smile at him. Right after, a door opened again in the shadow of the alley and a hand stretched out.

Luo Xinyu must have come to pick Yang Xiaojin up!

Ren Xiaosu was shocked. This method could save him a lot of money used for taking the streetcar.

When he last saw Luo Xinyu take Yang Xiaojin away from the rooftop, he did not have the time to react. After returning home, Ren Xiaosu regretted it a little. Why didn’t he use the Skill Duplication Scroll on Luo Xinyu at that time?

This time, Ren Xiaosu was not going to miss the chance again.

He said in his mind, “Use the Basic Skill Duplication Scroll and Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!”

Ren Xiaosu had two Skill Duplication Scrolls in total right now. He used them both at once so that in case he failed to copy her superpower, he could at least attempt to copy one of her master-level skills.

The palace voice intoned, “Randomly copied target’s Advanced Nose Picking. Do you want to learn it?”

Learn? My ass!

Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded. ‘Can’t you two have some normal skills?! Why would a reputable celebrity like you have such odd skills! Can you pick your nose cleaner with Advanced Nose Picking? Is that how it is?!’

However, he still had another chance. The result of the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll had not been determined yet!

Then, right before Yang Xiaojin completely disappeared—

“About to copy the target’s master-level skill or superpower. If you do not have the corresponding advanced-level skill after copying a master-level skill, you will not be able to learn it.”

“The target has many master-level and above skills. Randomly copied target’s superpower: ‘Shadow Door.’ Do you want to learn it?”

Yang Xiaojin, who had already left the place, did not see Ren Xiaosu celebrating in ecstasy. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was drowning in an ocean of joy!

Frankly, Luo Xinyu was sure to possess quite a few master-level skills, or even perfect-level skills. Hence, there was only a tiny chance of being able to copy her superpower. As such, Ren Xiaosu did not expect he would really acquire his second superpower!

The power he got this time was going to be even more important for him, not to mention how incredible his first power, Shadow Clone, was.

Ren Xiaosu immediately tried out this new power. Instantly, two Shadow Doors appeared in front of him. One was the entrance, and the other was the exit.

The only flaw was that Ren Xiaosu still couldn’t grasp the exact location of where to open the exit, possibly because he had only just acquired this power.

The location of the exit in front of him was quite different from what he had imagined. He had wanted to open it on the left, but it ended up opening on the right.

But this was not important!

Ren Xiaosu was extremely delighted at the sight before him. With this, he also could take Yan Liuyuan and the others and travel through the stronghold at will!

He attempted to go through the entrance of the door, but something unexpected happened. Ren Xiaosu discovered he could only get half his arm through the door!

“Wait a minute! Something’s wrong!” Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded as he tried it multiple times in the space of a minute. But no matter how many times he tried, he could still only get one of his arms through the door!

Was it because Luo Xinyu had only stretched out one of her arms when he used the scroll?

Could the palace be any more unreliable than this? ‘Why are the others able to travel freely through the door while I’m only allowed to put one arm through? What if I want to escape when I encounter danger? Is my arm supposed to escape first?!’
