Chapter 90: New Thoughts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After washing up, Ye Xingchen lay on the bed and began to think.
All of this seemed to have happened after he had stored the fuel in his space.
Could it be the effect of the gasoline?
Ye Xingchen closed his eyes and entered the space. There were neatly arranged metal buckets that were taller than Ye Xingchen. He closed his eyes and reached out to touch the metal buckets.
After a long while, Ye Xingchen opened his eyes but found that he felt nothing wrong.
“That’s strange. It’s not a problem with the gasoline. Could it be that the distance was too far, so it consumed a lot of energy?!”
Ye Xingchen came out of the space and lay on the bed, thinking about how to verify his speculation. Suddenly, he glanced at the toothbrush and rinse cup that he placed on the sink.
He raised his hand and pointed in that direction. Ten minutes later, there was no reaction at all. On the contrary, his hand was sore from lifting it.
“Strange, it can’t be taken in?”
Ye Xingchen stared at the cup and kept thinking to himself. “Put it away.” He turned around and was about to get out of bed, but when he put on his slippers, he saw the cup and toothbrush disappear!
He keenly noticed that there was a cup and toothbrush in the space. Ye Xingchen took it out of the space and found that it was the cup and toothbrush that had disappeared just now.
“What the f*ck? Is this for real? I can teleport?”
However, this time, Ye Xingchen did not feel hungry.
Blinded by joy, Ye Xingchen tossed the strange reaction that happened to his body to the back of his mind and fell asleep.
After a night, Ye Xingchen did not plan to go out today. After waking up, Ye Xingchen began to worry about his physical condition again. He was afraid that when he went out, it would be like today. He was afraid that he would accidentally faint from hunger.
Fainting at this time would be fatal. He didn’t know if someone would come and quietly kill him when he fainted. He also didn’t know if he would be frozen to death by this extremely low temperature when he was unconscious.
Before figuring out what was going on, Ye Xingchen would never dare to go out rashly.
After washing up, he went downstairs. Lin Sijia had just finished washing up and sat on the sofa. Ye Xingchen took out some dog food and mixed it with milk to feed Little Black, who had yet to fully wake up, while Lin Sijia went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Lin Sijia had made beef potstickers, chicken patties, an egg pancake plus cold noodles. Ye Xingchen didn’t go out today, so she wanted to have a simple breakfast and a better lunch.
Lin Sijia came over with two cups of soy milk. As soon as she sat down, she took Ye Xingchen’s pulse.
His pulse was very normal. Even Ye Xingchen was puzzled, let alone Lin Sijia.
Ye Xingchen had already tested his ability to take things remotely last night, but he didn’t feel any discomfort after taking the cup and toothbrush over. “That’s strange. What’s the reason?”
She ate breakfast in silence. Lin Sijia had never seen such strange symptoms before.
Ye Xingchen didn’t seem to be sick. His appetite was quite good this morning, but he only ate a few more fried dumplings than usual.
“Are you really not feeling uncomfortable?”
Lin Sijia was worried, but Ye Xingchen looked at her and shook his head.
“No, 1 don’t feel anything at all.”
In the morning, Lin Sijia stayed beside Ye Xingchen and watched a movie together.
There were two more dishes for lunch than usual. Lin Sijia was afraid that Ye Xingchen would not be full this time, so she cooked more rice. However, Ye Xingchen was the same as in the morning. There was no strange change.
“It’s okay. Don’t be too nervous. It might have something to do with my ability.”
Ye Xingchen had always thought that his strange appetite last night should be related to his ability. He had thought about it all morning and finally came to the conclusion that it might be because the size of the items he took was different.
However, Ye Xingchen had no way to verify it for the time being because there was nothing nearby that he could use for experiments unless he went out again.
After sending out a message at night, the neighbors obediently lined up to collect their supplies. Ever since he humiliated Chen Rou’er on the first day, Ye Xingchen had not seen her again.
Chen Rou’er was a smart person. She probably already knew that Ye Xingchen would not give her anything.
“Maybe she’s already starved to death?”
Ye Xingchen smiled and shook his head. After distributing the supplies, he asked Lin Sijia to pack the rest of the things. Suddenly, two people came to Ye Xingchen.
It was Li Qiang and Wang Wei. On the first day and two days ago, when people climbed over the wall and entered the community, they had both made contributions and received rewards. However, the community had been very peaceful these two days. No one had come to find trouble again.
If no one rushed to offer their heads, they would naturally have no chance to make contributions.
How could a person who had tasted victory be satisfied with only receiving food that was not enough to fill his stomach?
“Brother Ye… Wait.”
The people who were about to leave saw their actions and stopped in their tracks.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows and recognized Li Qiang and Wang Wei.
Li Qiang and Wang Wei nudged each other. In the end, Li Qiang braced himself and took a step in front of Ye Xingchen.
“Brother Ye, no one has attacked our neighborhood for the past two days.”
“Uh… Are we going to wait for them to attack us?”
“If they don’t dare to come in the future, then what are we going to rely on to get rewards?”
The more Li Qiang spoke, the more he frowned. He didn’t want to starve every day in the future. He didn’t want other families to have more food. He and Wang Wei had been starving for several days. The rewards from before didn’t last long.
Young people were easily anxious.
Ye Xingchen looked at him in amusement, thinking that it had only been two days and someone was already impatient.
He put his hand into his pocket. “Is there a conflict between whether they come or not and whether you can get a reward?”
“I did say that if you kill an enemy, 1 will reward you with five servings of food, but I never said that you can only sit at home and wait for them to come.”
As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, Li Qiang and Wang Wei’s eyes lit up.
“You mean, we can take the initiative to attack?!”
“If we kill people in different districts and bring their heads back. Can we also receive rewards?!”
Not only the two of them, but even the others who were standing behind them were excited.
No one would complain about having too much food in their hands. An extra bite might allow them to live another day.
They desperately needed this reward. Since they had already killed someone, it didn’t seem like it would make a difference to kill a few more..
