Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 209 - 208 Elsa

Zhou Bai thought to himself, "With these 140,000 laziness points, I’ll have no problem mastering the Myriad Swords Return skill tomorrow, but it would be even better if I could have more laziness points."

Whenever he thought about laziness points, anticipation couldn’t help but surge in Zhou Bai’s heart.

Because, as far as he knew, Christina was about to complete her training in the Primordial Dao Collection 02.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

And Elsa was also close to finishing her training in the Primordial Dao Collection 01.

"If Elsa can complete her training in the Primordial Dao Collection 01 today, then I can sell the Primordial Dao Collection 01 and make a clean 500,000 laziness points in one go."

Zhou Bai reveled in the thought, "With so many laziness points, I wonder how many levels of the Twilight Taoist Skill I could learn in this 72-hour training session? Maybe even up to the 10th level?"

Just as he was halfway there, Zhou Bai suddenly furrowed his brows, a strong sense of malice mixed with the power of the Primordial Spirit spreading in the air around him.

Zhou Bai looked up and saw Zuo Lu standing under a streetlight nearby, not knowing when he had arrived.

He looked up coldly at Zhou Bai and said, "Zhou Bai, it seems you have a decent relationship with Zuo Dao. I didn’t expect that with his foul temper, he could still make friends after joining Dao School."

Zhou Bai frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

"I don’t want anything," Zuo Lu shrugged. "I just came to chat with you. You’re the top student of this batch at Donghua Dao School, right? What do you think? Have you ever considered coming to Central City to study?"

Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected Zuo Lu to say such things, and he thought to himself, ’Is this an attempt to recruit me?’

He looked curiously at Zuo Lu and asked, "Would the heavenly courts even pay attention to ordinary people? Recruit them?"

Zuo Lu slightly smiled and, looking down, spoke slowly, "What do you think the heavenly courts mean to an ordinary person?"

He shook his head and continued, "For the immortals and gods, most ordinary people are merely laborers in this war. Only those with exceptional talent and who are extraordinarily gifted are of some value."

"Did you know? In the war against the Heavenly Demons, the immortals and gods bore more than 70% of the pressure, and the battle against the twelve Heavenly Demon Kings must be fought by them."

"Without the immortals and gods, humanity would probably be wiped out by the Heavenly Demons overnight."

With a look of profound age in his eyes, Zuo Lu said, "As humans, our only hope for victory is to cling tightly to the coattails of the immortals and gods, and assist them wholeheartedly in defeating the Heavenly Demons."

Having said this, he turned his head towards Zhou Bai and added, "Some higher-ups in the heavenly courts have always been recruiting talented individuals. If you’re willing, I can recommend you leave Donghua Dao School and go to Central City to study."

Zuo Lu held up a finger and waved it, "Don’t be in a hurry to refuse; you have no idea how big the gap is between Donghua Dao School and the Dao Academy in Central City. That place gathers humanity’s most important and precious resources, including various Taoist skills and sacred diagrams specially supplied by the heavenly courts."

"Even the most basic food there includes extraordinary dishes with meat every day. Even if you don’t practice at all and just eat at the academy every day, you would gain power far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Not to mention the guidance of the immortals and gods, as well as the Taoist skills and martial arts kept secret by the heavenly courts."

"The benefits of training in Central City are too many to count, and with a little investigation on your own, you could see the huge difference between the two."

"But you don’t need to rush your answer. Think it over."

Zuo Lu said a few words and then turned to leave, but suddenly turned around again and looked at Zhou Bai, "By the way, I should remind you that the matters between me and Zuo Dao are internal affairs of the Zuo Family. If you’re thinking of going to the Heavenly Court, you’d best not meddle in idle affairs."

"This is a threat veiled with a smile, using the Heavenly Court’s recruitment to shut me up?" Zhou Bai watched Zuo Lu disappear from his sight and stroked his chin in thought, "And the Heavenly Court actually recruits students like me? What’s their purpose in recruiting students?"

Zhou Bai returned to his dormitory with a whole series of doubts.

As Zuo Lu walked a distance away, he suddenly stopped, "How much longer will you follow?"

Cafeteria Aunt Wang stepped out from the shadows of a corner and looked at Zuo Lu, "Zhou Bai is someone we have our eye on; your family has no right to intervene."

Zuo Lu chuckled lightly, "Who are ’you’?"

Aunt Wang took out a token from her bosom, causing Zuo Lu to be slightly taken aback, "I see, it makes sense. How could there not be people from the Heavenly Court watching over Dao School? But we’re all recruiting talents to Central City; there doesn’t seem to be any conflict, right?"

Aunt Wang looked at Zuo Lu coldly, seemingly doubting whether he truly did not know or was pretending not to know.

"Gods think differently from gods, and immortals think differently from immortals. I don’t know whose intentions you represent, but the one behind me has already taken notice of Zhou Bai’s talents."

"Fine then," Zuo Lu shrugged, "It’s just a human genius, no need to be so tense. I’ll leave him to you. But if he interferes with our family’s affairs again..." Saying this, the corner of Zuo Lu’s mouth revealed a hint of sinister intent, "Then don’t blame me for not giving you face."

Watching Zuo Lu’s retreating figure, Aunt Wang sighed inwardly, ’Judging by this attitude towards humans, the one behind him is a god.’

Just as she said before, gods and immortals don’t share the same thoughts or make the same choices. To Aunt Wang’s knowledge, most gods’ views are fundamentally different from most immortals’.

’Compared to the choices of the legitimate gods in the Heavenly Court, the immortals value humans more. Although both gods and immortals are recruiting humans, their purposes are definitely different.’

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai was completely unaware of what had transpired behind him. He returned to his dormitory full of anticipation, only to find it empty except for the rooms of Elsa and Christina and exclaimed in surprise, "What happened, Christina? Where are all our belongings? Why is everything gone?"

He said in a panic, "Zheng Wentian or Zhou Shan? Did they come to collect debts? Did they clean out my home?"

Christina looked at him, speechless, "It was this silly dog’s doing!"

"She ate everything in the house!"

The human-transformed Elsa looked at Zhou Bai with an innocent face and said sheepishly, "Zhou Bai... *burp*!" She had to stop midsentence to let out a burp, patting her slightly protruding belly with an embarrassed expression, "I don’t know what happened, I just accidentally ate everything."

"Wait a second..." Zhou Bai’s heart jolted, and he said in shock, "You didn’t also eat the primitive scriptures, did you? The two big statues?"

"Of course she ate them!" Christina fumed, "I was only 0.2% away from mastering Twilight Taoist Skill 02! And now the statues are gone because of Elsa! Does that mean I’ll be stuck at the first level forever?"

"But..." Zhou Bai looked up and down at Elsa’s belly, "How could you possibly eat all of that?"

Tears began streaming down Elsa’s face, filled with immense guilt, and as she cried, she said, "I’m sorry, Zhou Bai! It’s all my fault! I’m so dumb and greedy—I can’t even be of any help, and now I’ve even eaten something important."

Zhou Bai sighed, wanting to comfort Elsa, but the thought of the primitive scriptures being eaten made the situation seem very tricky. On one hand, what would happen if Elsa had a digestive mishap? And on the other hand, unsealed primitive scriptures could become distorted.

Meanwhile, Elsa, while crying, suddenly opened her mouth wide and made a vomiting noise.

"There, there, Elsa, no more crying, we’ll come up with a solution," Zhou Bai said, "Hm? Elsa, what’s wrong?"
