Chapter 20 Fragile Life (4000)
On the way home from renting a house, Ye Xing leaned against the window of the last row of the bus, watching the bustling streets flashing by outside the window and lost in thought.
If you think about it carefully, Senior Zhou Shuqin is actually pretty good.
At least based on the information Ye Xing came into contact with, there was no such "tiddy news" around this senior in her four years at university.
Before the postgraduate entrance examination, the most shared things in her circle of friends were what she ate today, which scenic spots she went to with her roommates during the holidays, and she complained that the tickets for Jay Chou's concert had been snatched up by scalpers again.
After taking the postgraduate entrance examination, I would occasionally post on my friends circle that a certain question was difficult to solve, and that the teacher who gave the ideological and political question had a weird brain circuit, etc. She was a typical good girl who came from a well-off family and was emotionally reserved.
It is said that the first sword you strike ashore is to kill the person you like first.
His senior sister was the other way around.
It's just that Ye Xing is now focused on the [Creation Simulator]. If he is in a relationship, he will definitely have to devote a lot of time and energy to his girlfriend.
Sure enough, it would be better to reject her clearly at noon tomorrow.
Ye Xing glanced inside the deserted car. The electronic clock above the driver's head clearly showed that the current time was 9:41 am.
Ye Xing's energy has also returned to 11 o'clock. He clicked on the [Creation Simulator] to prepare tasks for Moses and the others.
A new line of text appears on the screen, which is the result of the simulated evolution of the sea eagle population.
【Mythical Species-Mingtao Sea Eagle】
[Characteristics: sharp gaze, raging waves, fog, soul scream, wings of wind, violent storm]
Because the Wind Eagle and the Sea Eagle are both Familia created by Isis using her feathers, they both retain the two racial characteristics of "Sharp Eyes" and "Wings of Swift Wind".
The new features of raging waves, fog, and violent storms are all related to the weather.
After evolving these characteristics, the Mingtao Sea Eagle can create stormy weather, stimulate the seawater to surge to form furious waves, and create fog that obscures its body in the sea or on wet land.
The soul scream feature is a sharp scream produced by the Ming Tao Sea Eagle, which increases the anger and fighting spirit of its kind, disrupts the soul and will of hostile life forms, and reduces the enemy's fighting spirit.
Previously, Ye Xing's stored energy was used to explore the budding world of death. Now his energy has almost recovered, enough for him to spend 3 points of energy to create the evolved Mingtao Sea Eagle.
When he returned home with his luggage, it was 10 o'clock sharp.
After putting away your belongings and boiling water in the kitchen in advance,
Ye Xing couldn't wait to summon Lani, familiarly manipulated her body to transform into his own, and put on the clothes he left at home in the mirror.
Wearing a navy blue hooded sweatshirt and white jeans, Ye Xing looked at the old clothes on his body and suddenly felt nostalgic for his youth.
He checked in the mirror and found that only the ball joints belonging to the doll looked a little conspicuous at the phalanges of the palms.
Ye Xing thought for a moment, then rummaged through his desk drawer to find the Naruto fingerless gloves he had bought in high school.
After putting it on, the hands of the doll Lani look completely like a pair of normal human hands.
Finally, he looked back at his body lying quietly on the bed, locked the door, took his mobile phone and home keys and walked towards the nearby vegetable market.
He had told his parents on WeChat in the morning that he would cook lunch for today.
It was still early. Both Ye's father and Ye's mother were workers in the factory, and they had a relatively fixed time to go home from get off work at noon.
Ye Xing still has time to experiment with Rani's three special abilities.
Ye Xing, who had already bought a live grass carp, came to the chicken coop located in the corner of the nearby vegetable market. He looked at the rooster crowing and jumping in the chicken coop and asked: "Boss, how did you sell this hen?"
With an unlit cigarette in his mouth and an apron stained with blood and chicken feathers, the middle-aged man squatted in front of the faucet to kill chickens for other customers and looked back at Ye Xing.
He bit the cigarette butt and said vaguely: "28 a pound."
Ye Xing's eyes widened, "So expensive? Can you sell it to me cheaper at 18 a pound?"
The chicken seller was carrying a big rooster that had been scalded with hot water and was pulling the feathers of the chicken with his hands.
He snorted without raising his head, "I am an old hen that has been raised in the orchard for two and a half years. There are some that sell for 40 or 50 yuan on the market.
If you are a regular customer, I can give you 25 per pound. You don't come to the market often, do you?
The people who come to buy my chickens are all old customers. ”
At this time, the aunt who was standing aside waiting for the boss to kill the chicken also spoke up and said: "Young man, his old hens are really fragrant when used to stew soup. I have been buying from him for four or five years, and the taste is incredible. .”
Ye Xing was a little hesitant. There were other sellers of live chickens in the market, but they were all elderly men and women.
The mental state of those chickens is obviously not as good as this one.
Moreover, the old-fashioned wooden pole scale they used, to be honest, Ye Xing could not understand it since he was a child. It felt like they were just reporting it casually.
"Can it be cheaper? I can take it home and kill it myself."
Ye Xing glanced at the unopened bottle of Nongfu Spring placed next to the electronic scale. There was white paper taped to the bottle, with several printed words on it - standard scale, with a clear price tag. On the scale, the water bottle weighs 570g.
As more and more up owners expose the chaos of "ghost names" in the market, market supervision has recently become more and more strict in this regard.
This chicken seller's magnanimous behavior actually made Ye Xing feel good about him.
Ye Xing can tolerate the high prices of goods sold by merchants, but he cannot tolerate the behavior of merchants who deliberately lack the goods.
He had already been deceived enough when he first entered the school by the several illegal fruit shops with extremely high prices.
Hearing that Ye Xing planned to kill the chicken himself, the middle-aged boss who was disemboweling the chicken couldn't help but turn around and take another look at him.
Not many young people today know how to kill chickens. It would be better if they don't get themselves covered in chicken blood.
"You are the baby of the old Ye family, right? You haven't grown up in a few years and you are already so tall!"
The boss suddenly became happy, as if he recognized Ye Xing.
"Uncle, who are you?"
Ye Xing looked at the unshaven middle-aged man in front of him and murmured in his heart that he might have met the fathers of his former classmates.
"Li Panpan, do you still remember? When you were in junior high school, he took you to our fruit shop every day to get apples and pears to eat. His mother told him several times that he wanted to talk to her, but he just didn't listen. .”
Ye Xing immediately recalled that Li Panpan was his classmate in middle and high school. Because his name matched a certain snack brand, he was nicknamed "Biscuit".
At that time, cliques were popular in the class, and they formed a small group. Ye Xing's nickname was "Yi Zi". Later, this small group was forced to change into a study group by the class teacher, and the buddies were barely together. Got into a key high school in the city.
Due to the heavy workload in high school and the separation of liberal arts and science subjects, the time they spent together gradually became less and less, and each of them made new good friends.
Ye Xing's face turned a little red. The shop owner was talking about some of the embarrassing things he had done with his friends in junior high school.
He had indeed seen this Boss Li when he was a child. Perhaps because of his killing, he always had a terrifying aura about him.
Every time Ye Xing and his classmates pass by Li Panpan's fruit shop, they feel inexplicably guilty.
"Remember, remember, didn't he get admitted to Chang'an University? None of us thought at the time that he would apply to a school so far away."
Ye Xing went to college in Jinling, and among his classmates, he was the one closest to home.
"Who says it isn't? Since he went to college, he hasn't seen him a few times throughout the year because of the epidemic.
Xiaoye, you are still sensible and go home to see your parents from time to time every month. ”
Boss Li quickly disposed of the chicken on hand, put it into a red plastic bag and handed it to the customer. Ye Xing and Ye Xing started to have fun with each other. "Xiaoye, have you found a girlfriend?"
Ye Xing suddenly stopped in Bengbu.
".Not yet."
Why would an elder ask this question?
"You have to hurry up, my brat knows how to play games every day. He went to college for nothing, and he hasn't even had a girlfriend yet.
Alas, if I had known at that time, I shouldn't have stopped him from falling in love in high school. The couples in their junior high school class who fell in love early had all gotten married in the past few years. ”
Uncle Li muttered as he walked towards the chicken coop.
Every sentence seems to be stuck in Ye Xing's heart, stop scolding, stop scolding.
The general environment is such that today's young people generally believe that as long as they don't fall in love, there will be no trouble.
I feel like everyone is similar, and I feel like everyone is just the same.
In college, I saw too many couples who were breaking up and getting back together, and I saw too many weird divorce news and case verdicts on the Internet, so I had no interest in that aspect.
Afraid of trouble, afraid of getting hurt, afraid of losing yourself, afraid of being let down by others, and afraid of letting yourself down.
This is probably the true portrayal of Ye Xing's heart.
"I'll give you this chicken. Xiao Ye, you bought these vegetables to make lunch for Lao Ye. This guy is really lucky."
Uncle Li tied up the chicken and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Ye Xing.
"Uncle, what kind of business is this? I'll buy it at the original price.
If I accepted it and my parents found out, they would definitely blame me for a long time. ”
Ye Xing quickly waved his hand and refused. When he was in junior high school, he was led by the "ghost" who was guarding him to steal fruits.
Now that I have met the real owner, how can I still have the nerve to accept the old hen given by others?
"Just let me hold it. If you don't come to my house to play in the past few years, it's not as lively as before.
Hey, your gloves, Panpan seems to have one too.
He didn't know where he had thrown the other one, and he had a quarrel with his mother who was cleaning his room over it that day. ”
Boss Li said with some regret, his attitude was very firm and he refused to accept Ye Xing's money.
Ye Xing had no choice but to accept it. If he continued to refuse, the grass carp he bought would die of thirst, and it would also waste the time of using the doll Rani.
Before leaving, Ye Xing took advantage of Boss Li's attention and hurriedly scanned the QR code he placed next to the electronic scale, turned around and ran away with the two-and-a-half-year-old hen.
The payment voice announcer sounded, Alipay arrived - 100 yuan!
Boss Li turned around with a stunned expression. He saw Ye Xing in the crowd in the distance waving goodbye to him, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
In a daze, he recalled the past, where Ye Xing and the others were hiding from him and walking away from him.
These children thought they were hiding well at the time, but in fact he saw them first and deliberately approached them to tease them.
"Why is this kid as serious as Lao Ye? He obviously let him take it."
Boss Li shook his head and sighed, looking at the payment voice announcer next to the electronic scale, with a touch of tenderness and pride in his eyes.
Although he has always said he dislikes his son Li Panpan, new gadgets such as the payment code and the payment voice announcer were all invented by his son when he came home from vacation a few years ago.
Not to mention, it’s quite useful.
In the past few years, he has received counterfeit money in business, and the number of customers who evaded orders has virtually decreased a lot.
After returning home as quickly as possible, Ye Xing first took out his electronic scale and weighed the old hen. It weighed about 2.5 kilograms, and he was suddenly speechless.
He has lost money in love.
Let’s first test Lani’s ability to judge death.
Ye Xing immediately made a decision and came to the kitchen with the old hen and grass carp.
Killing the grass carp first, he began to switch his field of view, looking for the scene before death where the grass carp had the highest death rate.
Ye Xing saw that he first pierced the middle of the nostril of the lively grass carp in his palm with an awl, destroying the fish's brain nerves, and then took an iron pick and inserted it into the upper cavity of the spine and hit the grass carp's tail.
The grass carp that originally tried to struggle to escape stopped moving instantly and died cleanly.
The efficiency is very high, but the method seems a bit cruel.
While Ye Xing was mentally complaining to Lani to relieve the pressure in his heart, he found replacement tools and operated them according to the prompts of the death clip.
Everything went as smoothly as a fish-killing master who has been working in the back kitchen of Neon Hotel for decades.
This ability to "judge death" is a bit scary.
Ye Xing placed the dead grass carp in a basin aside and turned his attention to the old hen jumping on the ground, twisting its wings left and right in an attempt to break free from the rope.
After the kettle on the stove boiled, it made a buzzing sound, as if it was ringing a death knell for this old hen.
Gu——Gu——
The old hen turned to stare at Ye Xing.
"If you can lay eggs, forget it today."
Gu!
"Tsk, this old hen can't lay eggs, so it seems we have to kill it."
Ye Xing shook his head after watching the video of the old hen before it died. There were no unformed eggs in the old hen's belly that could be killed.
Following the instructions of "Judgment of Death", he grabbed the old hen's drumstick with his right hand and lifted it up, then grabbed the root of the chicken wing with his left hand, and then hooked the chicken's neck with his left index finger.
Ye Xing gestured with a kitchen knife, and between the suggested neck cutting and oral assassination, he chose the more secure neck cutting.
The smoothly ground kitchen knife cut open the old hen's lower jaw at an angle. Ye Xing immediately hung the old hen's body upside down and fixed it to the bowl to bleed.
It didn't take long for the old hen in his hand to reach the end of its life. Ye Xing immediately put down the old hen and ran back to his room to remove the control of the puppet Lani.
After returning to his own body, Ye Xing praised Lani as fast as he could and then sent her back to "Four Element World No. 1".
The time came to 11:13, and there were still about 22 hours and 27 minutes left for Ye Xing to be able to use the Rani doll in reality.
After personally taking away two living lives with the ability of "Judgment of Death", Ye Xing sat on the bed and looked down at his hands.
After using "Judgment of Death", life became extremely fragile in his hands.
Death is like the Sword of Damocles that hangs over the head of every life with destiny.
As long as Ye Xing "cuts" the thread of fate a little, he can make his enemy die as a result without spending too much energy and effort.
