Old Zhu didn't dwell too much on those fragmented images; he was naturally easygoing.
Instead, he bent down again, picked up a stack of bricks, and placed them on the ground beside him. This time, however, the bricks felt much lighter, as if they had turned from stones into wood… or even hollow wood.
With a slight exertion of his arms, a cracking sound came from his embrace, and half of the nearly 100-kilogram brick was crushed into fragments, falling loosely from his arms.
The surrounding workers were stunned: "What...what kind of broken brick is this?"
Old Zhu was also stunned for a moment, then picked up a brick, which felt light in his hand, and with a little force—crack!
He actually crushed a solid brick with his bare hands!
The people around also gasped in surprise, not because of Old Zhu, but because of the bricks!
"My God, what's the procurement department doing? Even tofu dregs shouldn't be this bad!!"
"This thing isn't even as good as plastic, is it? Just painted foam?"
"My god, how can this kind of junk be used to build a house? Where is the project manager? Where is the quality inspector?!"
"I still have a shred of conscience left. I can't build a house with this lousy material. I'm going to find the foreman and complain!"
"Don't even mention killing others; I'm afraid that if I pile up these bricks, it will collapse and kill me!"
"These shoddy things can't be fooled with money; they really owe the workers a good beating!"
At that moment, the dozen or so workers around him stopped what they were doing. After a moment of stunned silence, Old Zhu reacted, his expression turning to anger: "You son of a bitch!"
He stomped his foot in anger.
[Boom!]
It felt like stepping on a detonator!
His shoes and trouser legs exploded together, and amidst the flying debris, a crater twenty or thirty centimeters deep was blasted into the ground beneath his feet!
At this, all the workers stopped moving and looked at Old Zhu in unison.
[A person nearby remained silent for a moment, then tossed over the shovel, letting Old Zhu test his strength on it.]
The smooth iron shovel bent into a U-shape with a creaking, twisting sound.
[The workers: "..."]
You: Watching the show.
In this post-primordial era, where the world has been downgraded and spiritual energy is depleted, even if Old Zhu regains his full status as a giant spirit god, it is merely a status.
[He possessed no magical power, no supernatural abilities, and no immortal body; his complete rank merely increased his strength by twenty or thirty times compared to before.]
[Furthermore, after the person's status is restored, in the time before Old Zhu's previous life... before that, the true Giant Spirit God spent the longest time with the person's status. Therefore, some of the Giant Spirit God's memories will slowly awaken.]
However, without your help, very few of those memories will resurface. At most, Old Zhu will dream of fragmented experiences from the time of the Giant Spirit God, and upon waking, he will retain some of the dream's details. It won't cause him to be possessed.
"While this isn't really possession, since it's all the same true spirit, it's simply a recollection of experiences from a past life."
[Besides Old Zhu, you also discovered the true spirit of someone and the status of "Victorious Fighting Buddha" in a monkey on a certain mountain.]
[The true spirit of Zhao Gongming and the status of the "God of Wealth" were discovered in a certain entrepreneur whose business was going smoothly.]
[You discovered the true spirit of Chang'e in a female internet celebrity who likes to sing traditional Chinese songs a cappella... You became her top supporter and even had an offline PK (player kill) session with her.]
Don't get me wrong, she's just a simple female anchor. Although she might have been a widow in some past life, she's not now.
Finally, you happen to encounter a truant girl on the street. She's clearly of school age, yet she's wandering the streets aimlessly.
If I hadn't met you, I probably would have become a sex worker in six months to a year.
She is the reincarnation of Qiongxiao, the second oldest of the Three Immortal Maidens. Due to her personality and family environment, she developed a dislike for school during junior high school, leading her to run away and refuse to continue her studies.
"Handsome guy~"
[Song Yuhe—the reincarnation of Qiongxiao—greets you with a flippant smile, trying to appear worldly-wise despite her own naivety.]
[In reality, she had recited this line countless times to herself, facing the corner of the wall. She hadn't fully let go of her anxieties and was still afraid of being discovered by her family for skipping school.]
The teachers didn't really care about her; as long as she didn't bother the good students, they were fine with it. Not going to school wasn't a problem, let alone reporting her parents.
The parents still thought their daughter was an honest girl who went to school every day, unaware that her heart had already wandered.
Song Yuhe blinked: "Hey handsome, you seem so free on the street, why don't you come with me for a stroll?"
You remained silent for a long while: "Hesitant."
So, for the rest of the day, you spent tens of thousands of yuan taking her to the amusement park to ride roller coasters, pirate ships, carousels, and bumper cars.
[He even called in a private jet, which landed at People's Square and flew to a major city hundreds of kilometers away within half an hour to take her to the zoo and aquarium, where she rode elephants and held orcas.]
"I will remember whoever played with me like this when I was a child for the rest of my life."
Yun Shou felt a pang of jealousy; he was somewhat envious of the girl in the simulator.
Even though he could have done all that long ago, things are different now. He's now in cheat mode, able to clear everything with a single click.
