Chapter 193: "See you in the next world"
"——You Thirteen, Jinyuan. Your fortune is very good, your future is bright, and you are happy and healthy."
The fortune-telling vendor smiled. He was wearing a scary robe and placed his hands on the shoulders of the young man standing in front of the stall. To Minghui, this gesture meant blessing.
The heavy rain fell quickly, hitting the shed, making a crisp "crackling" sound.
The young man holding a long-handled umbrella placed silver and money on the vendor's table.
Beside him, a girl with brown curly hair was waiting.
"You are a foreigner, right?" The vendor smiled happily when he saw the silver money, and casually said, "Why don't you go to the central square to have a look? There is an awakening ceremony being held there. Everyone is so happy."
"Aren't you going?" Su Mingan asked.
"Oh, why would I go? My life is satisfying enough now, I don't want to become a person with special abilities and shorten my life." The vendor shook his head: "I heard that few people with special abilities can live past fifty, and the stronger ones are even more so. What if I am gifted, then I will die here in a few days, and I want to go home and hug my children."
Su Mingan remained silent.
"——However, I never expected that group of nobles would be like this. We have to thank that Saint Master from the mainland." The vendor sighed, "I used to hate them to the extreme, but I never thought that this group of people would leave earlier than us..."
Su Mingan sighed, then pulled Fia away from the stall.
Raindrops fell on the umbrella, creating an independent world under the umbrella.
In the rain, everything was unclear. There were only silent bungalows and a tall tower in the town, standing guard on the edge like a night watchman.
Su Mingan raised his head and looked at the grand glazed tower in front of him. The gems on the tower were sparkling, shining brightly even under the thick dark clouds.
It seemed that in the deep darkness, there was a shining tower standing, like a god descending from the sky, reaching out to the people who were stuck in the quagmire.
Above the square, blood-red light burst out in waves.
Fia reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"How is it?" she asked, "Are you feeling a little more relaxed?"
Just now, after a white cat appeared from smashing an egg, Su Ming'an fell into a brief state of autism. When he was about to go to the laboratory for his routine blood supply, he met Fia who had caught up with him.
Fia said she knew he was in a bad mental state and she had a way to alleviate it.
"You don't need any mental relief, nor do you need any additional medicine." Feiya said softly, "You are just too tired recently, and this kind of fatigue can't even be compensated by sleep... Not to mention, I can see that you haven't slept for a single day in the past few days."
"Is it obvious?"
"Why don't you look in the system mirror and see how bad your complexion is."
Su Mingan followed his instructions and brought out the mirror, and once again saw a face that was extremely beautiful. Since Qin Wang's complexion had been very bad from the beginning, and he looked like he was about to die at any time, even if Feiya said that he looked very bad now, he could not tell.
...because it has always been bad.
Su Mingan took back the system mirror: "But isn't it a waste of time to spend a whole day playing?"
The dungeon only lasts fifteen days, and he had originally planned to continue taking Hui Shuhang to the nearby forest to kill monsters today. Unexpectedly, Feiya interrupted him and said she wanted to take him to relax for a day.
"This is necessary." Feiya shook her head. "This kind of fatigue cannot be compensated except by relaxing. You can't mold yourself into a machine that only knows how to catch up with tasks... You have to understand that people always have subjective initiative and can freely control their own actions. Only then can they be called free and independent people. If you lose these, mechanical fatigue is common."
"Besides..." she said, "You can't always be in an extreme mental state, otherwise it won't be conducive to your normal mission. Exploring clues, fighting the enemy... these actions all require energy. If you're always absent-minded, you'll miss a lot."
Su Mingan thought about it and felt that Feiya’s last words made sense.
He followed her as she said, and she seemed to have planned the trip carefully. After accepting the so-called fortune teller's novel divination, she took him to a restaurant in the town.
The food was served steaming hot.
He raised his fork and tasted a bite of the barbecue that Hui Shuhang once talked about with a unique flavor, and then his expression turned into a mask of pain.
The taste of the barbecue was nothing like the self-service barbecue he had eaten on Zhai Xing. In a world with extremely low productivity, the way it was grilled was extremely rough. Even the salt was colorful and the taste was strangely bitter and astringent. The other staples were even more so. The baguette-like bread tasted like sand gathered together, and the hardness was like chewing a stone, with no soft texture at all. Some soups were so sweet that people couldn't get used to it at all.
As for the lemon wine, he didn't dare touch it at all. Fia said it tasted like lemonade mixed with alcohol.
...The so-called delicacies from another world seem to be just like this.
After taking a sip of the bitter and astringent tea and watching the inferior tea-like plants floating on the surface of the cup, Su Mingan suddenly realized how precious the tea that Hui Shuhang brewed for him was in the eyes of ordinary people.
At least, it didn't make him wonder "What the hell is this?" and its taste was similar to the black tea he had drunk on Zhai Xing before.
In Minghui's eyes, perhaps the taste of black tea, which seems extremely ordinary to him, is already the best tea.
