Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

”There are two things you can’t beat me at, one, you can’t be a bigger spendthrift than me, two, you can’t out-lazy me ·jpg”

”Don’t try to compete with me, you can’t beat me, and I’m too lazy to bother with you ·jpg”

”Trying to show off to me? Do you even know who Lu Xiaobu is? ·jpg”

”Please refer to me as the master of meme combat, hurry up and worship me ·jpg”

”...”

Anyway, Lu Xiaobu was played to death online, all kinds of images being thrown around!

There was even a dedicated website for Lu Xiaobu meme images.

Lu Xiaobu himself was quite amused by this, as long as these rascals weren’t maliciously messing with him, he didn’t mind at all.

In fact, he even thought it was well done.

It really had flavor, like that ’A reward of five thousand! ·jpg’ was crafted with so much charisma!

Oh, right, it’s worth mentioning that Lu Xiaobu’s disciple, and the instigator of this whole affair, the female top student—Zhang Shilin, hasn’t said a word from beginning to end.

Lu Xiaobu was puzzled and even called her to ask about it.

Do you know what she said?

Her exact words were.

”Boring! A group of people who could be swimming in the sea of books, engaging in cultural exchange, yet have fallen into a low and childish struggle, filled with utilitarianism! I refuse to waste my time on such so-called struggles and recognition!”

Listen to how she phrased it.

So moving, so full of integrity, so magnanimously upright.

Even Lu Xiaobu himself was deeply touched after hearing it.

Then...

He had Tang Geng create a meme image for Zhang Shilin.

”All of you are low and juvenile ·jpg”

”Boring ·jpg”

”Only knowledge can comfort the soul ·jpg”

”Wasting time is shameful ·jpg”

”...”

Yeah, after they were done, they uploaded them online.

Man, they were on fire!

They were even hotter than Lu Xiaobu’s meme images for a while.

No way around it, Zhang Shilin, that serious-looking top student, her earnest eyes, and expression were just too earnest.

They worked magic paired up with any text.

For example.

Zhang Shilin’s version of ’You idiot ·jpg’.

Do you know what it feels like seeing this image?

It’s like when you were at school, and your teacher glared at you, then earnestly told you — ”You idiot!”

How could this image not be a hit?!

It would be against all reason if it weren’t!

So freaking dominant!

And like, another of Lu Xiaobu’s favorite images.

Zhang Shilin’s version of ’Aren’t you supposed to be writing? ·jpg’!

That look, that gesture, oh the dominance!

Lu Xiaobu made this image, enlarged it, and hung it in the ’little black room’ for torturing writers!

One for each room, and then hung the biggest one in the living room!

Man, the writers’ typing speed soared!

Talk about fast!

Hahaha! So thrilling!

Scaring all you street authors to death, hahaha!
