Chapter 80
Around 8 PM, Yunxin finished getting ready and went to the buffet restaurant for dinner, feeling refreshed.
The restaurant wasn't crowded at the time, with empty seats everywhere.
Yunxin took some pork rib porridge and some pancakes, found a place to sit down and eat slowly.
Is anyone here?
Yun Xin looked up and found someone standing in front of her. The person's face looked somewhat familiar, yet not quite.
"Nobody's here," Yun Xin replied casually, picking up her spoon to scoop up some ribs and continuing to eat.
The newcomer sat down next to Yun Xin and greeted her with a smile, "My name is Xue Yang, and I am also a spiritual attribute superpower user. Before you came, everyone liked to ask me for advice when they encountered problems."
This means that he was the most powerful before Yun Xin arrived.
"Hello," Yun Xin replied politely. In her heart, she thought, "When will this person shut up and eat in peace?"
However, with the hall so empty, the fact that the other party insisted on sitting at the same table as Yun Xin clearly indicated that they had ill intentions.
"When did you awaken your superpowers? Did you just awaken them and are still adjusting to your new identity?" Xue Yang asked casually.
Yun Xin paused, her expression indescribable.
Are you investigating my household registration? Can't a person even have a proper meal?!
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to cause trouble." Xue Yang put on a gentle and reliable smile. "I just want to help you adapt to life as a superpowered person as quickly as possible."
Yunxin: ?
She didn't understand what he meant. "Why do I need to adapt?"
Xue Yang answered without hesitation, "Becoming a superhuman means being one step ahead in the evolutionary process, and it is only natural to have a superior status."
Yun Xin, "..."
We talked so much today that I didn't even want to eat dinner.
Seeing that Yun Xin remained silent, seemingly deeply shocked, Xue Yang thought he had persuaded her and chatted even more enthusiastically, "Humans are actually all drawn to strength; it's an instinct ingrained in our genes."
"If you are strong, a strong alliance will result in better genes for your offspring. If you are weak, then you need to acquire the genes of the strong to change the talents of your offspring and improve the status of your family."
"And now, superpowered individuals are such powerful beings."
"Even if you want to maintain a normal mindset, and people around you actively pursue you, fawn over you, and worship you like a god, can you say you can stick to your original intentions without wavering? It's impossible." What is impossible in this world? She's been like this for over twenty years, and her superpowers aren't something she just developed recently.
Yun Xin was too lazy to argue and asked directly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
“Ordinary people should act like ordinary people, and superpowered people should act like superpowered people,” Xue Yang said meaningfully. “Confusing the boundaries and making ordinary people think that all beings are equal will not do them any good.”
Yun Xin understood the unspoken meaning behind the other person's question, but still asked, "Then what attitude do you think ordinary people should have?"
She wanted the other person to say it out loud.
Xue Yang's smile remained unchanged, his tone arrogant no matter how you looked at it, "Ability is king. Since he's just an ordinary person, he should obediently hold out his money, kneel before a superpowered person, and beg the superpowered person to save him."
Yun Xin then asked, "What kind of pomp and circumstance should a superpowered person have?"
Xue Yang: "Sitting comfortably on a cloud, watching the masses plead and beg. If I'm in a good mood, I'll lend a helping hand; if I'm in a bad mood, I'll ignore them."
"Holding money in his hands, begging a power user to save him? Even if the power user ignores him, he won't turn on them?" Yun Xin couldn't imagine what kind of person would be so foolish.
"Humans are more foolish than you think. The situation I'm describing is entirely possible," Xue Yang said pointedly.
Yunxin: "For example?"
"I heard you stopped Vice President Ma from buying the poisoned cakes?" Xue Yang suddenly changed the subject.
Yun Xin nodded in agreement, "Yes."
"What kind of saving someone is stopping them from buying the pancake?" Xue Yang scoffed. "If you stop him the second before he picks up the pancake and is about to eat it, that's what saving someone is all about. Only then will he be grateful to you."
Yun Xin realized, "Deliberately letting things escalate. Stopping things before they get to the worst, turning the tide, and becoming a hero in people's eyes?"
"You have a high level of comprehension." Xue Yang looked at Yun Xin with admiration. "Perhaps you haven't been a superpowered person for very long, and you don't know how to be one. But that's okay, I can teach you."
Yunxin could no longer eat her dinner. She put down her spoon, resisting the urge to punch Xue Yang, and continued the conversation (questioning), "You're so confident, do you do this kind of thing often?"
Xue Yang did not answer directly, but only said, "I am your senior after all, so I am more experienced than you in this regard."
"This is like playing with fire." Yun Xin's eyes turned cold. "Have you considered the consequences if you fail?"
"Even a god can't save everyone." Xue Yang didn't care at all. "The fact that he couldn't be saved by me means he's unlucky and destined to suffer this calamity."
In an instant, Yun Xin's fist hardened, and she almost got into a fight in public.
"Your abilities far surpass mine; you are fully entitled to higher treatment." Xue Yang's tone shifted, becoming increasingly enticing. "Since you possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, how can you be content to live a mediocre life!?"
Yun Xin was puzzled and speechless. "Why did you come to me?"
Xue Yang doesn't want to live a mediocre life, so he should go and work hard himself. Why drag others down with him?
Xue Yang stated, "The number of people with superpowers is not dominant; we must unite to have more say."
Every word he uttered revealed his ambition.
Yun Xin remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let me think about it."
"Okay." Xue Yang didn't press too hard, and got up to leave after the conversation.
Watching his retreating figure, Yun Xin slowly uttered a few words, "Those who play with fire will get burned."
From the very beginning, she didn't want to pay any attention to Xue Yang.
Even though her twisted logic sounded quite reasonable, she remained unmoved.
The reason they didn't directly refuse was because they were waiting to see what would happen to Xue Yang.
After a busy day, Yunxin went to bed early to rest.
Before going to sleep, she always felt that she had forgotten something very important. But she couldn't remember what it was, and thus slept soundly all night.
The next day, Yunxin woke up yawning and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to make a video call to Xiao Wei!
My gaze swept across the clock; it was already time for working people to go to work.
Yun Xin decisively gave up, "Forget it, let's talk about it tonight."
After washing up, we gathered in the lobby.
Ma Zhichao announced today's itinerary: "Today we'll take a bus to the suburbs for farm-style meals and barbecue. Once we arrive, everyone will be free to do as they please. Whether you want to see the scenery, take photos, go fishing, or play cards, it's all up to you."
Many employees remarked that the vice president had finally shown some humanity.
Yunxin was bored, so she boarded the bus.
It's a little over an hour's drive from the hotel to the farmhouse. This period would have been tough, but the girls managed to get through it by getting together and chatting away.
"Yesterday, I was shocked to hear from the firefighters that water-filled mineral water bottles can cause fires. Why have I never heard of this before? I figured the firefighters wouldn't joke about something like this, so I went online to search for it when I got home." A young girl looked shocked. "And then! And then! There were several similar cases online! Water-filled mineral water bottles can cause fires, and the probability of it happening is actually quite high."
As soon as she finished speaking, another person chimed in, "I heard that the mineral water bottle didn't catch fire, and I was wondering at the time, what is the working principle? How exactly did it catch fire? Why was the mineral water bottle okay? Later I found out that a mineral water bottle filled with water is like a magnifying glass."
"Didn't we do an experiment when we were kids? You take a magnifying glass and focus it in the sunlight. If all the light rays converge on one point, and that point is on the paper, the paper will catch fire in no time."
"The same principle applies to forest fires. The weather has been hot lately, and the sunlight is intense. If the angle is just right, it's entirely possible to ignite dry leaves. If it's something light and easily blown, like willow catkins, and then a gust of wind blows, theoretically, the sparks could be carried by the wind to any corner."
"In other words, the fire could start anywhere. If you're unlucky, it could ignite from all directions at once."
The others didn't think much of it and were taken aback by what he said.
Someone tried to imagine it and immediately felt a chill: "What if we hadn't discovered it in time? Wouldn't we have been surrounded by fire and trapped on the mountaintop?"
"There are trees all around, and thick smoke is billowing out. In the end, we might not be burned to death, but rather suffocated by the smoke," one person added expressionlessly.
Someone muttered under their breath, "I wasn't scared by yesterday's fire, but you guys almost scared me to death. It was fine at first, but the more you described it, the more terrifying it became. I felt like I'd narrowly escaped death, almost lost my life!"
"So it's all thanks to Yun Xin that I didn't die!!"
The young female fans looked at Yun Xin with adoring, fanatical eyes, as if they were willing to go crazy for her, to be wild for her, and to do anything for her.
The wall.
Yun Xin, "..."
Xue Yang's plan was despicable but feasible, thanks to his popular support.
"I didn't do anything. I just happened to have a premonition that something was wrong, and after discovering the open flame, I immediately raised the alarm and notified everyone to evacuate." Yun Xin did not take credit.
The young fan disagreed, "I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that! You've done so much, how can you say you haven't done anything!"
"Yeah, yeah," the others chimed in. "You saved so many people, and you still got an S rating! That's really amazing."
“There is no S rating, it is an A rating.” Yun Xin said calmly, “Because it was an indirect rescue, and the fire was not big, even if I hadn’t reminded them, in a little while, others would have seen the black smoke, discovered the fire, and run down the mountain.”
"An A rating is good enough!" The little fangirl, with an attitude of "I don't care" and "you're the best," was determined to speak up for Yunxin.
Yunxin was both amused and exasperated.
"What a pity," Xue Yang suddenly interjected. "An S rating adds a lot of attribute points, much more than an A rating."
The others weren't jealous at all; instead, they nodded in agreement, "Sister Xinxin saved so many people, it's only right that her attribute points are increased so much! It's just that this damn system doesn't know its own worth and can't even tell the difference between an A rating and an S rating, which is why it misjudged her!"
Yun Xin remained silent.
Everyone else thought Xue Yang was genuinely sorry and felt sorry for Yun Xin, but she understood that Xue Yang was implying—what a pity, if you had told others later, you might have gotten an S rating. An S rating adds a lot of attribute points, much more than an A rating.
He was trying to sway her.
Use recent cases that have occurred around us.
Unfortunately, Yunxin was heartless. "With so many accidents, are you worried about not having a chance to add attribute points? The most important thing is that no one is hurt."
His words brought tears to the eyes of his female fans.
"She really made me cry my eyes out."
"Sister Xinxin is such a nice person."
"They don't even care about attribute points! That's the level of a true master!"
"Are you really that carefree?" Xue Yang stared intently at Yun Xin, as if trying to see through her innermost thoughts.
Yunxin: She just wanted to save people, whether they believed it or not.
