Chapter 7: Adhere to one’s character
Carrying a heavy-looking backpack.
Chen Yun walked out of the supermarket with a dark complexion.
I just discovered the sensitivity and specialness of the sense of smell at the vegetable market.
He stayed near the entrance of the vegetable market, using his sense of smell, which can sense whether food is edible, to look for things he could still eat.
This kind of operation can save you the trouble of buying one portion of each food.
But just when he was tolerant of all rivers and carefully sensed all the smells of the entire wet market.
He knew something was wrong.
Many people suffer from the smell of metabolism and the public toilets in the vegetable market.
It made him realize the dangers of the world.
It also made him immediately realize the disadvantages of having an overdeveloped sense of smell.
Originally, Chen Yun was mentally prepared to smell some odors from the human body. After all, people's sweat, skin secretions, exhaled gas, etc. are all produced by the interaction of specific metabolic flora and have a slightly strange smell.
But he really forgot about the toilet.
Fortunately, this situation also brought out his potential.
It can instinctively adjust the intensity of its olfactory ability easily and freely, and it can also control this ability to actively weaken, block, and enhance the perception of a specific smell.
After that, the perception of certain smells was quickly weakened to the level of ordinary people, but not completely blocked.
Chen Yun hurriedly smelled all the food in the market and left the place quickly.
But this still made his face darken and left a very bad impression.
Until I bought some simple fitness equipment such as dumbbells, skipping ropes, and yoga mats in the supermarket not far next door.
Chen Yun's complexion improved slightly.
After all, this is really uncomfortable.
but.
From this incident, Chen Yun became vaguely aware of a possible future.
That is, there is likely to be a destined gap between yourself and ordinary humans.
Maybe in the future.
In his eyes, humans can only be regarded as a group of noisy monkeys.
After all, if this kind of physical change that can be called evolution, full of positive feedback, will continue in the future.
I don’t care what will happen to me as I continue to evolve, but now I can vaguely see how alienated I am from humans after evolution.
For example, this time, the smell produced by normal metabolism and chemical reactions in the human body has already made him feel uncomfortable.
If his vision becomes more exaggerated in the future, and he can even see the countless holes and defects in human skin, human shortcomings will be infinitely magnified in his eyes.
In addition, its own abilities in all aspects may be ahead of humans.
At that time, my relationship with humans will probably undergo some changes.
This made Chen Yun slightly uneasy.
There was no decisive moment of creation in human evolution, but the gradual emergence of early humanoid species, generation after generation.
Behaviors that advance the collective good are rewarded in social organisms because the health of the group is evolutionarily more efficient than the health of the individual.
If herd behavior can make a group more harmonious without affecting development, then this behavior will not be erased by evolution.
Individuals who do not follow the herd generally cannot survive in the group, and the efficiency of spreading genes is also very low.
Therefore, everyone is the descendant of those who follow the herd, so they have the instinct to follow the herd.
Chen Yun is no exception.
He felt a little uneasy about the possibility that in the future he might “move away from herd behavior and become even more alienated from human beings.”
But in deep thought.
Chen Yun gradually made a decision in his heart.
No matter what the future holds, he will stick to his original personality as much as possible.
He didn't want his three views to be changed or shaken by any disturbances in the process of evolution.
Perhaps there will inevitably be some changes.
But he will persist.
Even if [non-conformity and alienation] are inevitable in the future, Chen Yun will make it become [Chen Yun-style] [non-conformity and alienation].
It is he who welcomes evolution.
Rather than evolution guiding him.
If his evolution is going to continue, he wants to stay true to his personality as much as possible.
After setting such a tone in his heart, Chen Yun's inner uneasiness slowly dissipated.
I am getting ready to go home and put away the purchased things, and record the changes I discovered this time.
The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
Take it out and take a look.
It’s a reminder text message for the arrival of goods at Cainiao Station.
[[Cainiao Station] Please go to store No. 9-10, Building 5, District A, Mingwang Xincun, Shucheng to pick up the YT package. To check the package code, click u.cainiao.com/xujia/duzhuan] Raise your eyebrows and recall for two seconds.
He then remembered what this was?
That’s a bunch of teaching aids.
My neighbor Shiraishi asked him to buy it together before the Chinese New Year. Due to the Chinese New Year, the shipment was delayed, so it has only arrived now.
Shiraishi should be in the garden near the rookie station now, so he happened to go over and pick him up to pick up the parcel.
Think so.
Chen Yun walked towards the direction of Rookie Station.
Didn't go far.
Then he saw a bunch of children gathered around a stone table in the garden not far away.
Shiraishi's slightly fat figure and Mediterranean hair are particularly conspicuous.
Chen Yungang came closer.
Then I heard the tallest and strongest one among the children shaking the water gun in his hand and saying: "So why do you draw the trump card every time? Tell me!"
In response to this, Shiraishi opened his hands very confidently and said: "There are many things that a wise man may not want to know."
The words fell.
The children around him still looked at him without saying a word.
Shiraishi, who was less complimentary and a little embarrassed, scratched his head and added: "This is what Ralph Waldo Emerson said in "Speeches and Biography"."
What a pity.
Most of the children around him were primary school students, and no one understood what he was talking about.
The air is still quiet.
The tall and strong child understood the rejection in Shiraishi's words.
He, who had always been spoiled, aimed his water gun at Shiraishi without hesitation.
"I want to know!"
The naughty boy finished speaking.
The water jets out the next moment.
However, Chen Yun, who appeared beside Bai Shi at some unknown time, stretched out his hand and quickly pulled Bai Shi aside to avoid the water flow.
Then the other hand directly grabbed the water gun from the naughty child's hand.
The speed was so fast that neither of them could react.
The power was so great that even the reaction of the two had no effect at all.
Everyone around them fell silent.
The younger ones among the children opened their mouths in surprise.
Apparently he was shocked by Chen Yun's sudden appearance and his smooth operations.
Shiraishi was stunned for a moment, then straightened his clothes and stood up straight.
After nodding politely to Chen Yun to express his gratitude, he looked helplessly at the naughty boy who looked aggrieved after being robbed of the water gun.
"The younger ones are indeed more difficult to take care of than the older ones."
He held his forehead and muttered.
The children didn't hear it clearly, but Chen Yun, whose body had changed, heard it clearly.
When Chen Yun heard this, he naturally knew the meaning of Bai Shi's words.
In the past, whenever Shiraishi went out to play poker, he would always play with a group of old men and old women.
After all, Mingwang New Village is a well-known senior community.
There are mostly elderly people in the community.
But that doesn’t mean there are only old people here.
Early in the morning is not the time for the elderly to hang out, play and kill time.
Therefore, those who gathered around Shiraishi to watch him perform his poker tricks were a group of energetic children whose winter vacation only ended in a few days.
Compared with most of the amiable old people here, the proportion of those who are unreasonable among the children is higher.
Looking at the tall, strong kid with a face full of grievances, as if he was about to cry.
Chen Yun frowned slightly.
With a serious expression on his face, he handed the water gun to the child.
The naughty boy wanted to feed Chen Yun again.
But looking at Chen Yun's serious face, he trembled in fear for some reason.
I wiped the grease stains from the corner of my mouth from eating spicy strips.
He turned and left without saying anything.
When the children around him saw this, they all left.
