Humans Shrunk 100 Times - Chapter 208: Misunderstanding

Chen Mu and Chang Junyan were both stunned.

Originally, they wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Tang Jing a little, so they could diminish the overbearing aura of the top student.

However, it seemed that Tang Jing’s reaction speed was even faster than Chen Mu’s.

There could only be two possibilities.

First, Tang Jing had known about Chang Junyan’s improvement in abilities for a long time but had never revealed it. The second possibility was that Tang Jing’s mental power was even stronger than Chen Mu’s.

Both possibilities were not out of the question.

Chen Mu had long suspected that Tang Jing had gained some kind of ability but had kept quiet about it.

The strength of mental power was not necessarily related to the type of ability. Even a seemingly useless ability could still be trained to have a powerful mental force, depending on the talent and diligence of the ability user.

Before the two could speak, they heard a loud exclamation from Yu Yuan, who was pouring water behind Tang Jing. “What is this? It’s so itchy!”

They saw Yu Yuan, with his back turned to the three, not even able to put down the cup before starting to scratch his back. The itchy spot happened to be in an awkward place, impossible to reach either from the top or the bottom.

The chubby guy was so anxious that he ended up spilling water all over the floor.

Chang Junyan quickly withdrew his supernatural power and smiled awkwardly. “What’s going on?”

Yu Yuan, who was about to lie down on the ground to rub himself, suddenly felt the itchiness disappear and looked puzzled.

“You probably haven’t taken a shower in a long time. Pay more attention to personal hygiene,” Chen Mu said, patting his shoulder.

“Huh? Senior, how did you know that I haven’t showered in three days?” Yu Yuan asked, stunned.

This time it was Chen Mu’s turn to be taken aback. He had just said it casually, but who would have thought this guy was really so lazy. With this weather, sweating so much every day, they now had the facilities to take a shower, so why not use them?

However, Yu Yuan quickly continued, “I don’t need to use the restroom, and I don’t sweat, so I don’t feel uncomfortable. Sometimes, I’m just too lazy to take a shower.”

“You’re impressive,” Chen Mu gave him a thumbs up and then said, “But there will still be dust from the outside, so hurry up and take a shower. Just now, you were scratching yourself all over.”

“Oh, I see.” The chubby guy had no idea that he had been played a trick on.

He couldn’t stay within the crowd for too long and was planning to leave anyway.

As Yu Yuan left, Tang Jing smiled meaningfully, “Your abilities have indeed improved quite a bit. Can you release them on others now?”

Chang Junyan felt a chill down his back that seemed to go straight to the top of his head. At this moment, he hated Chen Mu to death, but he also blamed himself. Why did he act on impulse and try to tease Tang Jing, now how would he live through the days to come?

He quickly put on a flattering smile, “It’s a misunderstanding, really. Tang Jing, you see, I was originally planning to have Yu Yuan give it a try. It’s just that I was a bit hasty and didn’t pay enough attention to the direction. Thankfully, you responded quickly.”

Chen Mu chimed in, “Yeah, that’s right.”

Tang Jing didn’t dwell on that matter but instead asked, “Why did you start with those stances and movements? Do you really have to do those showy things?”

Chang Junyan hurriedly explained, “Not really, it’s just that I got used to it in the beginning. Doing it this way can serve as a psychological suggestion and improve the success rate.”

“Get rid of that habit,” Tang Jing said directly, “Otherwise, if you use it against enemies in the future, you might just embarrass yourself.”

“Okay, okay.”

“In addition, practice to improve the speed of your effects. With your current level, taking you out won’t be of much help.” Clearly, Tang Jing had already anticipated that Chen Mu would consider taking Chang Junyan outside.

“Understood.”

Tang Jing then gave some more casual instructions, and even Chen Mu was nodding and pretending to think hard, trying to show obedience.

Soon, it was mealtime.

Dong Junwei hung a large bell in the cafeteria, and when Du Jiajia finished cooking, she vigorously shook the bell, making a clear sound to remind everyone to come eat.

Dinner was a meal that everyone had to eat together, except for those on duty, who would have their meals brought to them.

Tang Jing turned and headed towards the cafeteria.

Chen Mu and Chang Junyan let out a sigh of relief.

“That was close.”

“It’s all your terrible idea.”

“Weren’t you also hoping to see Tang Jing make a fool of himself?”

“I won’t want that anymore in the future. Being alive is wonderful.”

“…”

…

During the meal, Chang Junyan briefly explained to everyone about his breakthrough in abilities. After marveling, everyone moved away from him a bit. Of course, they then entered into a discussion mode.

A new ability or a breakthrough in abilities always brings about a heated discussion. Everyone came up with suggestions and ideas for the ability users to consider.

Of course, there were also people who took this opportunity to crack jokes and suggest silly ideas.

This scene surprised and confused An Ruosu a little.

Today, Dong Junwei was sitting beside her, and when she saw An Ruosu not touching her food for a while, she asked, “What’s wrong? Does the food not suit your taste?”

Although Du Jiajia tried various ways to come up with new dishes, they only had a limited number of ingredients, and sooner or later, they would get tired of them. But An Ruosu and Yang Li had only recently arrived, so it shouldn’t be that they were already bored with the food.

“No, no,” An Ruosu hurriedly said, “Back in Qingbei, with my status, it would take at least two weeks to have a chance to eat such cooked food. How could it not suit my taste?”

“Then why aren’t you eating?”

“I see everyone discussing their abilities together.”

“Yes,” Dong Junwei asked, “Doesn’t Qingbei discuss this aspect?”

“Maybe some people discuss it among themselves, but most of the time, everyone tries to keep their abilities as secret as possible. Only the Supernatural Research Group at Qingbei requires honest disclosure. However, that group has only four members and is quite mysterious.”

“Have they asked you?”

At this point, the crowd gradually quieted down.

These past few days, hearing An Ruosu recount all the strange things about Qingbei had been quite interesting.

“I’ve been asked twice.”

“What did they say?”

“They didn’t say much. They just assigned different tasks to us based on their research results.” An Ruosu replied.

“They didn’t guide your training?”

“No, I figured it out myself.”

“Then what’s the point of their research?” Yu Yuan said somewhat indignantly. The chubby guy was only allowed to sit with everyone during dinner; the rest of the time, he tried to stay away from others as much as possible.

“Well, you can’t put it that way,” Chen Mu said, “After all, Qingbei has too many people—over a hundred supernaturals. With only four people, it’s really impossible to cover everything. Being able to give detailed assignments based on different abilities is already quite remarkable.”

Dong Junwei added, “In fact, each person’s ability can be considered private, and it’s understandable if someone doesn’t want to tell others. We don’t force everyone to exchange information, but I believe that communication can definitely be beneficial.”
