Chapter 6: The Cake

Chen Mu lay flat, taking a couple of minutes to relaxation earlier than getting up and heading in the direction of the desk.

The cake was proper there on the facet, its clear packaging revealing the opening. It was apparent that Du Jiajia did not trouble resealing it, most likely to sneak a chunk later.

It was an apple-flavored cake, combined with a little bit of cream, and the aroma was wealthy. What acquired everybody excited was the absurdly big dimension of the cake, like a complete constructing that could not be hugged by dozens of individuals.

Chen Mu did not hesitate and grabbed two handfuls, stuffing them into his mouth.

Since yesterday midday, they hadn’t eaten something in any respect.

Youngsters of their early teenagers cannot endure starvation nicely.

The feel was a bit tough, however the candy style immediately aroused Chen Mu’s urge for food. Nonetheless, he restrained himself and solely stuffed his starvation a little bit earlier than stopping.

He nonetheless needed to climb down later, and overeating could be dangerous.

After resting some time longer, he unfold his arms and forcefully tore off an enormous piece from the entire cake. Holding this half-person-sized piece, he walked to the sting of the desk.

Trying down, the gang had turn into tiny figures.

Chen Mu leaned out and made some gestures.

The space was too far; shouting would not work.

Tang Jing understood his intention straight away and mentioned, “Everybody, unfold out, he will throw down the cake.”

“Throw it down?!” somebody exclaimed.

“Come on, he cannot climb down whereas holding the cake. And apart from, how a lot can he carry?” somebody defined.

“Oh, I see.”

Everybody scattered.

Chen Mu pushed the cake to the sting, then lay down flat and used his ft to push it gently. If he tried to make use of his palms whereas standing, he was afraid he’d fall as a result of inertia.

The huge cake descended from the sky.

Though it was only a small piece, from the attitude of the folks under, it was like a meteor falling from the sky. After all, the cake was tender, so it did not make a lot noise when it landed.

Plop!

The cake landed and rolled just a few occasions.

Smelling the aroma, some could not assist however step ahead.

With such an enormous piece of cake, they may eat to their coronary heart’s content material.

Tang Jing known as out, “Wait, do not go but.”

Everybody was puzzled, “Why?”

Tang Jing defined, “I am positive there’s extra.”

As anticipated, not lengthy after, Chen Mu peeked under and threw down one other big piece of cake.

Tang Jing nodded, “With lowered weight, gravitational potential power decreases as nicely. If the energy of our bones and muscle tissue stays the identical, falling from the identical proportion of peak would trigger a lot much less hurt. Even when it appears to be like as excessive as dozens of flooring, it might not essentially be deadly. Nonetheless, even when it is not deadly, getting injured or disabled from the autumn is pretty much as good as ready for dying at a time like this. Moreover, the human physique is an interesting construction. Some folks can fall from three or 4 flooring with no scratch, whereas others can die from simply two steps of a staircase… Who would dare to wager on one thing like that?”

Chen Mu was utterly centered on climbing down and had no thought what was taking place under.

Because the saying goes, it is simpler to climb up the mountain than to climb down. He had come to appreciate this deeply. It took him a complete hour earlier than Chen Mu safely returned.

The cake cushion had not been wanted.

As quickly as his ft touched the bottom, Wei Dalei and some others got here as much as him.

“Boss, are you okay?”

“I am fantastic, simply want a relaxation.” Chen Mu was fairly exhausted, waved his hand, and chuckled whereas catching his breath, “Is the cake scrumptious?”

“We could not eat it with out you coming down.”

“Don’t be concerned about me, go forward and eat.”

Seeing that he was okay, Dong Junwei and the others lastly felt comfy and began to eat the cake.

After resting for some time, Chen Mu additionally approached.

The aromatic cake with cream within the center was not too soiled. Everybody held it with their palms and saved feeding themselves. Some even used cream to smear on their classmates’ faces, making it really feel like a party.

Laughter and pleasure stuffed the air for some time.

Solely when the satisfaction introduced by the meals set in did the gloom of the apocalypse dissipate barely.

At this level, Chen Mu not managed himself and saved consuming till he was full.

To be sincere, consuming an excessive amount of cake wasn’t snug in any respect, nowhere close to as satisfying and fulfilling as having rice and greens. However on this surroundings, there wasn’t a lot to fuss about; you simply needed to stuff your self and fear in regards to the subsequent meal later. Who knew when the following meal would are available in a scenario like this?

As his energy recovered, Chen Mu felt a wierd sensation in his head, as if it have been steadily filling up.

It was an odd feeling.

His head felt swollen, however there was no discomfort. As a substitute, it was extremely snug.

His thoughts raced, as if he understood one thing.

The weapon in his hand out of the blue reworked into a protracted stick. Then, he managed it to steadily develop longer, and because it lengthened, the stick turned thinner. Simply when the iron stick was about to show into an iron wire, Chen Mu felt that it had reached its restrict, so he instantly retracted it whereas he nonetheless had management.

The unique paperclip had gone by means of a number of transformations and was now unrecognizable.

Chen Mu put away his “weapon” and reworked it right into a round ring, which he wore round his waist, pretending it was a belt for simple carrying.

Clearly, each his management and psychological energy had elevated.

He considered it and realized that it is likely to be due to the psychological energy overdraft when he climbed the desk simply now.

Nevertheless it wasn’t obscure.

Particular talents have been additionally a type of energy; with extra follow, there would naturally be progress. It is like operating, always testing one’s limits, one of the simplest ways to coach bodily health.

Plainly sooner or later, throughout free time, he ought to follow extra.
