Chapter 52: Chapter 50 The Beauty’s Invitation
"What’s going on?"
Lin Beichen was a bit stunned.
He quickly checked and found that the Electric Elements in his liver had almost completely disappeared.
"Where did the Electric Elements go?"
Lin Beichen was puzzled for only a moment, or even less than a moment, and then he immediately realized that the Electric Elements had been turned into electricity and released!
At this moment.
As he was continuously examining his liver, he made a new discovery.
The Electric Elements were gradually replenishing themselves, though the process was slow. But the liver, which had been empty, was now starting to show sporadic Electric Elements.
"So that means..."
"The electricity in my palm is not being released endlessly!"
"If all the Electric Elements are released at once..."
"Then the palm can’t discharge electricity again in the short term!"
"I have to wait for the Electric Elements in the liver to recover!"
"Using a big move has a cooldown!"
At this point, Lin Beichen had an epiphany.
"So does this mean..."
"That last electric strike wasn’t my strongest hit?"
"After all, I had already used a third of the Electric Elements in the liver before that!"
"So the last hit was only two-thirds of my full power?"
"If two-thirds of my power is that strong?"
He gained a new understanding of the power of his full-strength strike, but simultaneously, he started to ponder again.
"The cooldown for the big move is too long!"
"How can I speed up the recovery of the Electric Elements?"
"And also..."
"If my liver could have more Electric Elements, would I be able to release more powerful electricity? Or, could I release my strongest strike multiple times in a row? Maybe I could form Palm Thunder, throwing the electricity from my hand?"
"But how do I do that?"
For a moment, Lin Beichen’s thoughts flowed like a fountain, with ideas emerging one after another in his mind.
However, the current environment made it difficult for him to enter that state of immersive thinking. He felt it would be better to wait until he returned to his secret little spot at school, where it was quiet, serene, and undisturbed, to think properly.
So, he simply tidied up the goat and then called the shop owner in.
"Boss, please roast this whole goat."
"Alright."
The shop owner brought in the assistants to lift the still unconscious goat onto the counter to be processed.
But just as they grabbed the goat.
"Ah!"
They cried out in unison, then looked at each other in astonishment.
"Why did you scream?"
"I felt a shock."
"Hey? Me too!"
"Same here, what’s going on?"
"Why is this goat still electrified?"
"..."
They exchanged puzzled glances!
Seeing this, Lin Beichen instantly understood what was happening but couldn’t explain it, wondering if his goat could still be cooked.
Fortunately, his concern was unfounded.
The next time the shop owner and assistants lifted the goat, it no longer shocked them. Though they were puzzled, they didn’t think too much about it, assuming it was static electricity from the goat. They quickly prepared the goat and started roasting it.
The roasting took over an hour.
By the time it was ready, it was almost five o’clock.
The shop owner kindly packaged the roasted whole goat and, along with Lin Beichen, personally delivered it to the dormitory.
On the way back, Lin Beichen had already informed his roommates in the group chat. At this time, Han Yuan and the other two were all there.
Wu You and Liang Dong were occupied with reading and watching TV shows respectively, while Han Yuan was doing nothing, just staring at the door, eagerly waiting. He loved goat meat!
Upon seeing Lin Beichen enter.
Han Yuan immediately rushed over: "Beichen, Beichen, thanks for your hard work!"
Saying this, he naturally took the bags of roasted goat, ignoring Lin Beichen, and walked into the dorm.
Wu You couldn’t help but mock him: "Han Yuan, you were calling Beichen ’Father’ at noon, and now you only care about the roast goat, leaving your ’Father’ at the door?"
"I’ll bite you if I get angry!"
Han Yuan glared at Wu You "fiercely," then switched expressions as if performing Sichuan opera face-changing, eagerly unpacking the foil-wrapped roasted goat and placing it on the table.
"Smells so good!"
With Han Yuan’s praise, the four gathered around the table and started digging into the roasted goat.
Of course, Han Yuan was the one who enjoyed it the most, eating as if he were a mukbang host.
Han Yuan casually grabbed another piece of goat rib, his mouth greasy and mumbling: "Beichen, we didn’t see you all day, did you strike rich? Why the sudden treat of roasted goat?"
"Do I need a reason to treat you to roasted goat?"
Lin Beichen pretended to snatch the goat rib from Han Yuan’s hand, scaring him: "No reason, then you don’t get to eat."
"Hey? No need for a reason, just let me eat!"
"Even eating doesn’t shut you up!"
Wu You rolled his eyes at Han Yuan, then glanced at his phone, muttering: "No one has figured out why a lightning bolt struck on a clear day yet."
Speaking, he seemed to think of something and looked at Lin Beichen: "Beichen, a lightning bolt struck the second teaching building on a clear day this morning. You study Thunder, right? Can you analyze what happened?"
Lin Beichen: ...
He had figured it out, but the problem was he couldn’t explain it, even if he did, they wouldn’t understand.
"I know, I was attending a Traditional Chinese Medicine class in the second building."
Shrugging, he said: "I don’t know what happened either."
Liang Dong joined in: "Beichen, why were you attending Traditional Chinese Medicine classes?"
"Isn’t it obvious?"
"You know?"
Liang Dong looked puzzled.
Han Yuan smiled knowingly at Lin Beichen: "Of course, the Traditional Chinese Medicine major is famous for having many girls. This old rascal must be looking for a lady!"
Roommates: ...
"Do you think Beichen is like you, chasing after girls?"
Wu You shook his head helplessly: "You probably don’t know Beichen’s charm. During military training, many girls were interested in him..."
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
Before he finished, Lin Beichen’s phone rang. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Lin Beichen glanced at it; it was a call from Zhou Ya and he answered: "Hi, Zhou Ya."
"What are you doing?"
The dorm was so silent that a pin drop could be heard after Lin Beichen mentioned her name.
Zhou Ya’s soft and gentle voice came through the phone.
The other three in the dorm listened intently!
Wu You gave a "told you so" look, then joined the other two in watching Lin Beichen’s phone like hawks, crowding in.
Lin Beichen, exasperated, moved a bit away from them, saying: "Having roasted goat with my roommates."
"You’re living the good life."
"Rare chance for meat, what’s up, something on your mind?"
"Can’t I call you without a reason?"
Zhou Ya’s tone had a playful lilt, then she laughed: "Didn’t we say we’d hang out more often? We had military training and stuff before, but now that classes have started, let’s hang out this weekend."
An invitation from a beautiful girl, how could he refuse?
Lin Beichen said: "Sure, it’s been almost a month since I came to the Imperial Capital, and I haven’t properly toured around. Let’s go."
