After all, the mind is something, and who knows whether it enjoys the recovery attribute bonus or not.
He thought to himself.
Zhang Feng returned to the supermarket counter and took his stuff away.
He returned to the store again.
"Back already?" The shopkeeper was squatting down looking at the car lights, doing no work at all.
"Yeah." Zhang Feng put the supermarket items in front of him, "Eat up, I’m feeling a bit off today, might wander around for a day to relax."
"This... What?" The shopkeeper was puzzled, "No, if you’re not feeling well, you should see a doctor. Why wander around?
My car is right there. If Xiaosong comes back and is free, he can take you.
I can watch the store myself."
Though the shopkeeper talks a lot, he’s quite loyal.
And he was ready to be a good boss today, one person doing the work, supporting a family.
"I said it’s fine." Zhang Feng said while walking towards the pharmacy, "Just want to wander today."
"Something’s off..." The shopkeeper saw Zhang Feng relaxed, not like something was truly wrong, and mumbled shaking his head, "Old Zhang’s acting strange today, could it be he’s seeing someone?
This Old Zhang, something so big, doesn’t even tell me, his sworn brother?"
An hour later, Zhang Feng returned with medicine, poured hot water over it, let it cool for a bit, and started drinking.
It’s summer now, and this is a ’herbal tea’ to clear heat and refresh the mind.
A whole pack down the gut, not only ensures he won’t feel sleepy today but might also cause insomnia tonight.
Meanwhile, soon after finishing the tea.
Xiaosong came back riding an electric scooter, bringing a big bag of buns.
Without delay, they set up a small bench in the store, and the three of them started eating.
About twenty minutes later, the car owner returned.
He was carrying two portions of fried noodles in his hand.
"Boss, master, have you eaten?" He was a bit embarrassed, "I brought you a portion."
’Weird.’ The shopkeeper saw him bringing food, feeling speechless, ’This person’s mind is weird too. Haggled over the car lights for so long, thought he was stingy, but now he brought food.
If you’re bringing food, just let us know in advance, can’t you?’ He thought as he smiled and stood up, "Thank you, thank you, we’ve just eaten."
"Boss." Xiaosong was young and said whatever was on his mind directly, like showing off his wit, "Can’t you just call to ask? That way you wouldn’t waste money; the noodles are cold and clumpy, can it still be eaten?"
"Mainly because I couldn’t get through to your boss’s phone." The car owner wasn’t offended by young people speaking directly and pointed at his own phone, "Not that I can’t reach your boss, but it seems like there’s no signal here?"
"No signal?" The shopkeeper, hearing this, took out his own phone and found there was no signal either.
"I don’t have it either." Zhang Feng walked out of the store.
"No signal for everyone?" The shopkeeper followed him out, called out to the nearby supermarket and kitchenware store,
"Supermarket, kitchenware, have you got signal?"
"No." The kitchenware merchant was cooling off under the eaves outside the store, "Hey, Old Zhang! Want to play a round of chess?"
"Seems like it disappeared about ten minutes ago." The supermarket owner crawled out from under the counter in his store, "I was just calling for a delivery when the signal suddenly disappeared. I thought there was something wrong with my landline.
With you mentioning it, I checked my cellphone and found it was gone too."
"Just gone..." The conversation among the people outside the store, caused several passersby to join in the chat. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noⅴelfire.net
As if just by gathering people, they could devise a plan.
Meanwhile, Zhang Feng observed the inside of the store across the street; its fluorescent lights flickered twice then went out.
’Like the Wind of Evolution?’ Zhang Feng pondered and went back inside to grab the newspaper-wrapped vegetable knife from the corner, unwrapping the paper.
Regardless of whether it’s evolution or not, the sudden unusual event now proves a crisis in the adventure is beginning.
"Everyone come into our store first." Zhang Feng shouted to the people outside, "I feel something’s off about this situation."
"What’s off?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Feng holding a long knife, "Old Zhang, to be honest, I feel there’s something off about you right now."
"Don’t say useless things." Zhang Feng hefted the knife as he walked towards them, preparing to observe in a wide-open space.
"Don’t... don’t..." Seeing Zhang Feng approach with a knife scared them into a retreat.
Seeing them not listening, Zhang Feng ignored them, walked outside the store, and observed the surrounding streets.
The cars and electric scooters on the street stalled one after another.
Pedestrians and drivers, after getting out of their vehicles, would glance at each other, saying things like ’You’re out of power too? No signal either?’
At this moment, the nearby area was bustling.
A hundred or so people on the street were divided into several groups, discussing these events separately.
There were also individuals or families resting in their cars or on the roadside.
"It must be geomagnetic influence!"
An individual who seemed somewhat knowledgeable was explaining about some geomagnetic theory,
"It’s certain magnetic field movements that disrupted the electricity and signals, leading to this situation.
The extent of this disruption might be vast, or it could just be us in this small area..."
As he spoke, seeing more people looking at him, he felt a full sense of achievement.
So, to maintain this feeling, he continued to speculate and make things up, "From my understanding, if we just walk out of this magnetic field range, normal communications and power will be restored."
"Teacher Magnetism!" At this time, some believed, even raised hands to ask: "How far do we need to walk?"
’How would I know how far?’ Teacher Magnetism didn’t know, but since he had boasted, he had to grit his teeth and continue making up, "How far isn’t fixed, specific measurements should be done by my researcher friends."
"Teacher Magnetism is from the research institute?"
"Wow! That’s genius!"
Because generally online, when people boast about themselves, it usually felt fake.
But in reality now, this guy talks the talk, it doesn’t seem fake, right?
Zhang Feng stood in the store doorway listening to this person boast, then watched a group believe him.
But more people, who knew a bit about science, sneered in disbelief.
Yet no matter what, they all kept their distance from Zhang Feng who was holding a vegetable knife.
Just then, a ’buzzing’ sound seemed to emit nearby with a faint wave.
Hearing the sound, people saw no change around them, thinking it might be audio equipment malfunctioning somewhere.
But Zhang Feng knew nothing good would come in this strange atmosphere, so he vigilantly scanned the area.
After glancing around, everything seemed normal.
However, when he looked up, with his adjusted 1.5 vision, Zhang Feng saw a leaf suspended in mid-air about a few dozen meters high.
That feeling was as if it was resting on an invisible layer of glass.
Following that, a very familiar creature appeared at the street corner.
It had a body length of two meters, resembling a mixture between a tiger and leopard.
Its saliva dripped from its teeth, eyeing everyone greedily.
"Is it... a... tiger...?" Those who saw it were terrified.
’It’s it?’ Zhang Feng, seeing it, was momentarily taken back to the initial trials over a hundred years ago.
Yet at this moment, Zhang Feng wasn’t afraid, but rather had a small sense of anticipation.
’The final trial of the low-level adventure, so it’s this creature, a so-called "final exam" of the low-level adventure world?
In this moment, with my current knowledge and learning, even if I suddenly returned to the initial trial with no enhancements, I could pass easily.’
Zhang Feng thought, about to go and slash it to death.
But in the next second.
More creatures appeared behind it, no less than twenty.
