Chapter 21: Practice Makes Perfect

Chapter 21: Practice Makes Perfect

The problem of food has been temporarily resolved.

Just now, after everyone was fed with a meal of rice cakes, only less than half of the rice grains were used.

What's even more gratifying is that once there is a heating condition, the water problem is also half-solved. There's no need to rely on bottled water anymore; even ordinary tap water can be boiled and drunk.

At present, the biggest threat to all nine students in Class 4 of Grade 3 comes from disasters that may strike from the outside at any time.

Rats, spiders, centipedes, snakes, ants...

Any animal capable of squeezing through the gaps in the doors is the number one enemy for Chen Mu and the others.

Unfortunately, there is currently no good way to defend against them.

...

They spent the night in such a perilous situation.

Fortunately, it hasn't been long since humanity lost control of the world, so the usual sanitation work within the entire school is still acceptable, and there won't be an immediate outbreak of pests.

However, it can be foreseen that without the original human population, the number of various wild animals will increase dramatically.

No more urban expansion;

No more reckless logging;

No more large-scale hunting.

By that time, the remaining humans will face even greater threats.

...

Early in the morning.

Chen Mu gets up from bed.

After stretching lazily, he slowly climbs down from the makeshift bed.

Then he walks slowly to the farthest corner of the storage room.

In that corner, there are nine holes covered with metal plates, and on the side facing where everyone sleeps, there is a wall made of stainless steel chopsticks, blocking the line of sight.

This is currently the toilet.

Since what happened to Gu Ping, no one dares to go to the outside alone to use the restroom anymore.

But living humans can't be suffocated by excrement and urine.

In the end, it was Chen Mu who took the initiative to dig several squatting pits on the ground for everyone.

Ordinary silicate cement hardens to only about half the density of iron, so this work is not too difficult for Chen Mu.

The only trouble is that these squatting pits are just pits.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

There's no way to dispose of the waste.

So, in the end, they could only add a board on top of each pit to somewhat prevent the smell.

Suddenly, he hears someone behind him exclaim, "Ah!"

He turns around and sees Dong Junwei.

"Good morning, Class Monitor."

"Morning. Are you always this diligent every day?"

"I'm used to it."

"It must be interesting to witness the progress of your supernatural abilities day by day," Dong Junwei smiles.

"You can experience it too in the future."

"That's why I woke up early today." Dong Junwei seems to be in a good mood.

The two chat for a while, and Tang Jing comes over from behind.

"Aren't you afraid of encountering another centipede?"

"That's why we don't dare to go too far. We stay close to the door, so if anything happens, we can immediately escape inside," Chen Mu says with a smile.

"Are you discussing supernatural abilities?" Tang Jing asks.

"Sort of. Do you have any suggestions, Tang Jing?" Dong Junwei inquires.

Tang Jing awakened her abilities only yesterday, and after a night's rest, she now feels full of energy and wants to practice using her powers.

Not wanting to disturb the others, she took a bit of a risk and came to the door.

Little did she know that Chen Mu was there too, and Tang Jing followed him over.

Tang Jing shrugged, "I don't have any constructive suggestions. I haven't awakened my abilities yet. But from what I see, practicing more definitely won't be wrong. Chen Mu's abilities have improved a lot compared to the first day, haven't they?"

Dong Junwei agreed, "Indeed, that last spear thrust startled me. If it were a real battle, that move could be deadly."

Chen Mu's last spear thrust wasn't a simple stab. It was a transformation. The stainless steel loop he held suddenly changed into a spear, and the tip of the spear thrust forward. Due to the small range of motion of his body, it would be almost impossible for the opponent to dodge this thrust if they were not prepared in advance.

This was also why Chen Mu had been emphasizing "speed." At this stage, his abilities were finally starting to have some combat effectiveness.

Tang Jing asked Chen Mu to demonstrate the move again, and after watching, she praised, "Once you become proficient with this move, it indeed becomes hard to defend against. However, at this speed, can you ensure the sharpness of the spear tip?"

Chen Mu nodded involuntarily. Tang Jing's words always hit the mark.

He nodded and said, "Under normal circumstances, it's indeed challenging, but I have noticed one advantage of my abilities."

"Oh?"

"That is, when transforming something that I've transformed before, the difficulty is significantly reduced."

"Practice makes perfect?" Dong Junwei asked curiously.

"Sort of," Chen Mu smiled. "For example, to make the spear tip sharp during the first thrust, I had to go slowly. But once I succeed once, the difficulty decreases for each subsequent attempt, and the speed can gradually increase."

"So it's practice makes perfect," Dong Junwei nodded, pondering the idea.
