Chapter 5 Chapter 5 What kind of good person would sleep with a kitchen knife in his arms! ...
Faced with the sudden changes that happened to them last night, many people were still immersed in the joy that they were definitely the chosen one and had gained super powers.
However, this joy certainly did not last long. Everything that Chang Ruijia discovered, they would naturally discover when they looked at other "ordinary people" with contempt.
For a moment, the unruly expression that was about to unfold on his face suddenly froze in place, causing Chang Ruijia to appreciate the traditional Chinese face-changing technique without the use of a mask.
But even this gift, which did not belong to them alone, could make many people who were in deep despair yesterday excited and their emotions began to fluctuate greatly.
As if they could finally vent all the anxiety and restlessness in their hearts since yesterday, many people cried and laughed wantonly on their floating objects.
Amidst the extreme joy and sorrow, some people were still immersed in their own emotions, but some smart people turned their eyes and began to inquire about the situation of other people among the people around them.
As the most conspicuous presence in the area, Chang Ruijia had received countless envious, jealous and hateful looks since early morning, and now she was the first target of everyone's attention.
Some people began to carefully paddle the things under them, trying to move towards her.
"Girl, this bed looks very comfortable. What did I bring you last night?" A big brother curled up in a glass moved the fastest, stretching his head to look at her curiously and asked.
"Ah? What good can a bed be? It's just one of those that everyone uses." Chang Ruijia covered up with a giggle.
She is not a simple naive girl!
Compared to other things that had nowhere to hide and were easily visible, the effect of the bed beneath her was subtle, invisible and intangible. Even if she told them the truth now, some people might think she was just making it up to fool them.
After all, there is no concrete evidence to prove the authenticity of this effect, but it is easy to lead to various speculations and suspicions.
Then why would she attract fire for no reason?
In addition, as a person who always prepares for the worst, Chang Ruijia doesn't think this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere can last long.
Although she didn't know what would happen in the future, her premonition of impending danger told her that it would be better not to blurt out everything easily.
Even in peacetime, there are endless crimes, let alone the current situation.
Moreover, compared to other people who are lucky enough to obtain physical objects, her ability to eliminate all fatigue is always in high demand. What if someone gets jealous of this best supply station?
For the sake of her future peaceful life, Chang Ruijia decided to be vague and perfunctory for the time being and make plans based on the situation.
But unexpectedly, the big brother didn't know whether he really didn't understand the meaning of Chang Ruijia's words, or he was deliberately asking questions. Seeing her vague look as if she wanted to get away with it, he took out a glass bottle from his arms.
"Sister, look! This is the power this cup has given me. Last night, two bottles of beer appeared out of thin air for me. I still have the bottles!"
"Oh, really? I hadn't noticed it if you hadn't told me. You have a really good ability!" Chang Ruijia perfunctorily gave a thumbs up and praised the big brother with a proud face.
If she remembered correctly, the big brother in front of her was one of those who howled excitedly while holding a bottle of wine this morning. The scene was known to everyone. Now he wanted to exchange it with her as a secret?
"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning. It's just that I have a lot of friends and often go out to get together." The eldest brother looked like he took Chang Ruijia's sincere praise seriously. He turned around and advised her, "Sister, look, I have told you so much. Don't hide it. Let's switch and I won't tell anyone else."
Fuck you!
Her eyes looked around at the people who were working on the things in their hands but actually had their ears perked up to listen to their conversation. Chang Ruijia really wanted to roll her eyes.
Who is your sister?
You said that what you got was what you wanted to say, and then you said it was a bullshit secret? You want to get useful information without doing anything, how can you not be happy!
But looking at the wine bottle in the man's hand, Chang Ruijia still suppressed the urge to confront him directly. She was really a little afraid that he would be unreasonable and just throw a wine bottle at her.
After taking two deep breaths, she was thinking about how to deal with this persistent man when a scene not far away suddenly made her eyes focus and she thought of an important question.
Among a group of people gifted with abilities, how conspicuous would someone who couldn't explain their abilities stand out? And with such a group barely maintaining a balance in life, how likely would someone who managed to survive without any abilities at all not attract the attention of others?!
Chang Ruijia couldn't help but shudder when she thought about the vague and prying eyes that everyone around her might have to face in the future.
Although her fundamental intention is to be low-key, being too low-key is also high-profile in another sense, which is completely contrary to her original intention.
If someone accidentally digs out and hacks into the system, the consequences she will face... she simply can't even imagine it.
You can't tell others all your secrets, but you can't be too low-key either.
Chang Ruijia thought about it with a headache, and suddenly a sentence popped up in her mind - small seclusion is in the mountains and forests, and great seclusion is in the city①.
A person without any ability may arouse the curiosity of many people, but what is there to be interested in about an ability that is lost in the eyes of others?
Chang Ruijia's eyes suddenly lit up when she had her own idea, and she took this opportunity to get rid of the thing she had cut with a knife, which would make her future life more convenient.
Otherwise, she couldn't wait until it was pitch dark before taking things out to use them, right? That would be too much trouble.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his method was feasible. Chang Ruijia could hardly hide his excitement. This was a brilliant idea that killed two birds with one stone!
Chang Ruijia, who had made up her mind and prepared an excuse, looked at her elder brother in front of her who looked like he was determined to get to the bottom of things, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
Although this brilliant idea came to her mind when she was in a desperate situation, if he hadn't been so persistent in insisting on exchanging secrets, she wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation.
Just in case, as a thank you for her big brother's hard work, she was going to tell him a shocking secret! By the way, she was going to use his broken mouth to let it all out.
After all, it was the eldest brother who first proposed exchanging "secrets"!
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to tell me?" Seeing that Chang Ruijia didn't speak for a long time, the older brother holding the beer touched his head. He seemed to be relieved but his voice became even louder. "It's okay, everyone has a secret! If you have some outstanding abilities, you should hide them well."
Chang Ruijia's forehead jumped when she noticed the malicious curl of the man's mouth in front of her, as well as the other people who looked at her curiously after hearing what the man said.
She knew it! Ever since this man set his eyes on her, he had no good intentions!
Seeing that the man seemed to be about to spread more rumors, Chang Ruijia hurriedly stopped him from saying anything and spoke in a low voice that was completely comparable to his loud voice.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm a little embarrassed to tell others. You have to remember to keep it a secret for me! Actually..."
Seeing the amused look in Chang Ruijia's eyes when she paused, the eldest brother's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away, not even wanting to listen to the secret that followed.
Something's wrong! Wait a minute, something's not right about this!
He said everything in a fit of excitement, and by the time he realized it, it was already irreversible, so he thought about tapping into other people's abilities.
But what does this woman sitting on the bed mean? What is she trying to achieve with that look?
The glass brother keenly realized that things did not seem to be developing in the direction he expected, but before he could speak to stop Chang Ruijia, he vaguely let the matter go.
On the other side, Chang Ruijia had already raised her voice several times and "cried" out loud.
"Actually, my family is incredibly poor! Even the house we rented in the countryside could only fit this one bed, so I eat, drink, defecate, and urinate in bed every day. This ability... well, I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud. Naturally, it has something to do with the pile of junk I placed on the bed earlier."
"Uh...that's good, isn't it?" The eldest brother smiled awkwardly and said comfortingly.
He didn't stop her for the moment, and seeing Chang Ruijia reveal her secret to the public "as he wished", Brother Glass didn't know why he had a feeling that he should be forced to accept this "secret".
Then again, now that it's been shouted out loud, can it still be considered a secret?
But even though Chang Ruijia had described herself so miserably, the eyes of those who listened to their conversation were still full of greed.
Not everyone's floating object function is reasonable. Compared with those functions that are completely useless, a bed that allows people to stretch their bodies on it is already very beautiful!
So what if I get useless things every day?
Seeing that there were still many people staring at her, Chang Ruijia felt helpless.
After all, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't have the ability to change the appearance of the bed, so she didn't know how to continue hiding herself from those persistent stares.
With an irritated click of the tongue, Chang Ruijia didn't want to waste any more time with them, so she simply closed her eyes and made up her mind.
Instead of constantly worrying about internal friction, it's better to go completely crazy and directly consume others!
Chang Ruijia turned around and pulled out the kitchen knife from under the quilt beside her. Facing the incredulous look of her elder brother who was hesitantly trying to leave, she smiled brightly!
Then he waved the kitchen knife in the air twice.
"Since Big Brother doesn't despise me, I'll show you what I reaped yesterday!" Chang Ruijia wielded the kitchen knife fiercely, looking like she was mad. "Ha! Big Brother, look at this knife, isn't it shiny? I relied on it to chop pork bones during the New Year. Every chop was accurate, and I could cut through a whole bone with every stroke! This is a magic knife passed down from my ancestors."
Oh shit!
The eldest brother was completely stunned by Chang Ruijia's actions and almost shed tears.
He is just jealous that what other people have in their hands is not exposed so quickly. No one would directly torture him with a kitchen knife, right?
What kind of misfortune had befallen him? He had suddenly run into such an evil star.
Looking at the glass bottle in his hand, which could have been used as a weapon, the eldest brother shrank his neck with a mask of pain on his face, not daring to make a sound to attract any attention.
A bottle thrown at you might just cause a bump on your head, but if you get chopped by a kitchen knife, it could be fatal!
"Cool, so cool. Damn it, I was wrong. Put the knife away quickly. It would be terrible if it slipped out of your hand and hurt innocent people. I know what you're capable of. I know, I know."
Brother Glass Cup looked at Chang Rujia with tears in his eyes. If time and situation had not allowed, he would have probably acted out Qiong Yao tears.
"It's okay," Chang Ruijia smiled innocently, "Brother, I'm very familiar with this knife. It won't hurt me. Look how excited I am playing with it!"
I know it won't hurt you, after all, your blade is pointing at me!
The eldest brother was almost crying. Seeing that Chang Ruijia was reluctant to put down the kitchen knife in her hand for a while, he didn't bother to say anything else. His arms were swinging so hard that they were smoking, and he wished he could fly out of this nightmare place.
…
"Hmph, fight me!" Looking at the man's back as he fled in a panic, Chang Ruijia snorted in her heart.
When it comes to madness, she has never been defeated by anyone in her life. Even a real lunatic has to give in to her!
Are you envious? It’s earned by working 996 and deadlines every day.
Her eyes swept over the people around her. Seeing them looking at the sky and the sea but not at her, Chang Ruijia felt so happy.
Originally, she just wanted to avoid attracting attention and drive away the person who was provoking her with bad intentions. Unexpectedly, when she was pushed into a corner, an unexpected special effect occurred. How could she not be satisfied?
Chang Ruijia hummed a song in her heart and finally relaxed and started to tidy up the things on her bed.
Now, everyone knows that junk from her previous "home" will randomly appear on her bed, so this messy scene can be temporarily changed and no longer needs to be deliberately hidden.
After rearranging the things on the bed, Chang Ruijia felt very happy as she saw the bed was clean and tidy again. Her "resting area" was finally back, and she no longer had to "dig" out a place to sleep from a pile of things.
Looking at the kitchen knife that looked particularly eye-catching after it was tidied up on the bed, everyone around couldn't help but shudder and directly put that bed on the list of people who should be avoided the most.
Who would sleep with a kitchen knife in their arms? It's an unprotected kitchen knife. If you move it a little, it will make a cut. Isn't this playing with your life?
I finally found a way to live well in this world. You can have fun, but you can’t risk your life!
Chang Ruijia's affairs have temporarily come to a conclusion, but on the other side, everyone who is guarding their own piece of land has begun to have different considerations in their minds.
