"But this thing shouldn't be used lightly, otherwise you can really get addicted."
Lu Xiaobai suppressed the desire in his heart. This [Mystical Pilfering Hand] seemed to possess a kind of magic, making one unable to resist the urge to keep trying.
No wonder the Interstellar Thief King from back in the day never mentioned anything about retiring. After all, being able to restrain oneself from using this special skill would require inhuman willpower...
Soon,
Lu Xiaobai returned to the classroom.
Although he had reminded himself not to use it casually, whenever he saw someone pass by, he still felt the urge to give it a try, only forcibly holding himself back...
"Brother Lu..."
Right at that moment, Yu Wei arrived in the classroom and whispered:
"Something major happened in Starlight City last night, did you know?"
"What major thing could it be?"
Lu Xiaobai said casually,
"Didn't I take on a job at the Safety Bureau?"
Yu Wei said mysteriously:
"I saw everyone from their bureau mobilized, and countless safety patrol cars were cruising the city. The whole of Starlight City was in an uproar. According to my little insider info, it's because some big shot lost something in our city district."
"..."
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Lu Xiaobai's eyes.
Yu Wei was about to say more but saw the other's odd expression and instantly caught on, tentatively asking:
"Brother Lu, it wasn't you who lost something, was it?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded, seeing no need to deny it. After all, it wasn't a big deal to him.
Seeing this, Yu Wei quickly said:
"Did you get it back? Do you need my help? I know our neighborhood streets like the back of my hand!"
"Already got it back."
Lu Xiaobai said offhandedly.
Just then,
The class bell rang, signaling the start of the morning theoretical knowledge class again. This time it was geography, mainly covering the layout of human star sectors, the climates of different life-bearing planets, etc...
Lu Xiaobai didn't chat idly with Yu Wei anymore and began listening with great interest.
He certainly didn't want to get lost during interstellar exploration, so he needed to firmly grasp this knowledge.
His life force was improving daily, and his memory had also been enhanced, making it increasingly easier to master these theoretical subjects...
The theory class ended quickly, followed by the afternoon Star Martial Arts class.
Nangong Ling repeatedly confirmed that Lu Xiaobai was fine before finally relaxing completely, leading the whole class in physical training...
...
Several days passed in this manner.
Friday afternoon,
All the students of Starlight High School wore smiles as they stepped out of the school gates.
Outside the school, one could see rows of hovering compact cars, with parents inside waiting for their children.
Because it was the beginning of the month, the students had their monthly two-day break, which was naturally a cause for happiness.
"Brother Lu, I'm off."
Yu Wei waved and turned to board the hovering train waiting at the platform.
Lu Xiaobai just nodded, then piloted his flyer into the sky, heading straight for Starlight Main Street.
The Life Fruit sent from the Lu Family's main planet had arrived!
Being a high-grade resource, it required some procedural approval, which took a few days. Otherwise, with Five-Star Express's speed, it should have arrived the next day.
Lu Xiaobai took this matter quite seriously, as it was a promise he had made personally.
Soon,
He brought the Life Fruit to the slums in the suburbs and entered the rented room where the two siblings lived.
"Your Life Fruit is here!"
He opened his backpack and took out a fruit shimmering with a faint light.
Just the fragrance wafting from it was refreshing, as if every cell in one's body was being nourished.
Seeing this, the boy was overjoyed and carefully accepted it.
"Little sister, you're saved!"
The girl lying on the bed also had a look of joy in her eyes.
Her joy wasn't for her impending recovery, but for finally no longer being a burden to her brother...
"Just eat it directly."
Lu Xiaobai said calmly from the side:
"I asked my family elders. Your condition can indeed be resolved with one Life Fruit."
Hearing this, the little girl didn't hesitate any longer and began eating it in small bites.
Soon,
The entire Life Fruit was in her stomach.
The little girl's pale complexion gradually turned rosy, as if she had been reborn. Her own life force kept rising, finally reaching 1!
Although this was just the level of a normal person, compared to the previous 0.1, it was a qualitative breakthrough. At least she no longer had to worry about her immune system problems.
Watching his sister's transformation, the boy beamed, tears welling in his eyes. He looked out the window and said:
"Father, after all these years, I've finally cured my sister!"
"Brother!"
At that moment, the little girl got out of bed and hugged her brother tightly.
Watching this heartwarming scene, a faint smile also appeared in Lu Xiaobai's eyes.
Soon, the boy led his sister to Lu Xiaobai's side and was about to kneel down to thank him again, but was stopped.
Lu Xiaobai frowned and said:
"The knees of a Thief King's descendant shouldn't be so weak!"
Hearing this, the boy didn't kneel. With a face full of seriousness, he said:
"Thank you for your life-saving grace, Young Master Lu. My sister and I will remember it forever!"
"Remember what you promised me: to do three things for me in the future!"
Lu Xiaobai said expressionlessly, then asked:
"What are your plans from now on?"
The boy's life force level was currently too low to be of much help to him for now.
"I want to enroll in Starlight High School, work part-time while studying, and strive to raise my life force level as soon as possible!"
A look of longing appeared in his eyes.
Due to his life force, his [Mystical Pilfering Hand] had been stuck, unable to advance, which made him quite anxious. After all, as a Thief King's descendant, he needed to max it out as quickly as possible...
"Go to school?"
Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and asked:
"How old are you two?"
"I'm twelve, and my sister is ten."
The boy said calmly:
"I checked online. It's not too late to enroll as long as it's before fifteen."
Lu Xiaobai nodded. The [Basic Body Refining Method] was only taught from age fifteen, so their start wasn't too delayed.
"If you've made up your mind, then go for it."
His expression shifted slightly as he took out a Federal Bank card, saying:
"You don't have a smart chip, so I can't transfer money to you online. I have to give you a physical card. This has the 100,000 Alliance Credits I promised you. The PIN is six sixes. Go withdraw it yourself later."
With that, he waved his hand, turned around, and left with a carefree air.
The boy clutched the bank card in his hand, watching the other's flyer gradually disappear into the distance. His face filled with gratitude, he said in a firm voice:
"Young Master Lu, for your great kindness, Mo Sheng will repay it in this lifetime!"
Although for Lu Xiaobai, this was just a transaction, for the siblings, it was a new lease on life!
