Chapter 8 Gu Zixin's New Life

Inside the convenience store, Gu Zixin watched her new boss walk out of the store, leaving her alone to work at the cashier, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Capitalists..."

Once you get busy, time seems to be fast-forwarded.

When Gu Zixin came to her senses from the cashier's routine, she realized that the store was completely empty.

It must have been class time; the students who were just crowding the store had all vanished.

Looking at the empty shop in front of her, Gu Zixin fell into a daze again.

In those days of living on the edge, "daydreaming" was an extremely luxurious activity. As an assassin, one had to be wary of everything around them at all times to prevent themselves from being caught off guard and losing their life.

But now, in the blink of an eye, the life she had always dreamed of has arrived, and even the superpowers she had dreamed of have awakened, which makes Gu Zixin feel so unreal.

Is it possible that I actually died the moment I fell, and that all I'm seeing now are my delusions in my dying moments?

"Eek~"

Gu Zixin shuddered and put aside this strange thought.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

A bubbling sound came from the oden pot next to her, and Gu Zixin quickly turned down the heat as Chu Wuji had instructed.

The rich, fragrant aroma, carried by the scalding steam, filled her nostrils, making her mouth water.

She had just finished two sandwiches not long ago, but perhaps because her superpowers had just awakened and were consuming a lot of energy, she felt empty again.

Gu Zixin licked her lips, picked up the tongs, and prepared to treat herself to a legitimate "employee meal".

But she stopped midway through, looking up nervously and scanning the room before finally fixing her gaze on the security camera in the corner of the ceiling.

"Tsk."

Gu Zixin reluctantly put down the clip, looking completely dejected, even the feathers behind her ears drooped.

However, the next moment she seemed to think of something, and she crouched down furtively, using the cash register to hide herself.

Immediately afterwards, the plush bear that Chu Wuji had placed on the cabinet by the door to attract customers seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and fell into the back of the cashier's counter.

After a while, the little bear slowly rose from behind the oden pot, holding a plastic pair of tongs in its hand, and tremblingly picked up a piece of boiled radish.

"I am... the Little Bear Thief! Now I'm going to steal oden!"

A deliberately hushed voice came from under the counter.

"Hmm, the little bear thief can't eat radishes, what should we do?" The little bear, holding a radish, scratched his head. "I've got it! Let's give it to this poor, hungry shop assistant."

"What?!" Gu Zixin's head popped out from under the counter. "I'm the boss's best cashier! How could I collude with the Little Bear Thief? I refuse!"

"Hehehe, you have no right to refuse!"

After saying that, the little bear suddenly stuffed the boiled radish into Gu Zixin's mouth.

"Ah—you forced me to... Holy crap, it's hot!"

Gu Zixin, whose tongue had been burned, instantly lost her composure and no longer cared about playing the role of the Little Bear Thief. She suddenly stood up and spun around in place with her mouth open.

"What are you doing?" At the door, Chu Wuji, who had just returned from the dojo, looked at Gu Zixin spinning in circles with a speechless expression, somewhat worried about whether Chu Tong's staff uniform could withstand the enormous pressure.

"Remember to disinfect those tongs after you're done." Chu Wuji's voice was devoid of emotion. "Take whatever you want to eat."

After saying that, he casually picked up an umbrella by the door and turned to leave.

"Boss, are you leaving again?" Gu Zixin asked curiously, having just finished stir-frying the radish in her mouth again.

"You probably don't have anywhere to stay right now, right? I'll find you a place to live."

Gu Zixin was stunned for a moment, and then felt a lump in her throat.

She herself had almost forgotten about it.

Although she used to have a place to live, she knew very well that she was now a "dead person" and could never go back under any circumstances.

"Um, thank you, boss."

"The rent will be deducted from this month's salary."

"Uh-huh!"

This time, Gu Zixin's answer contained no resentment, but was full of gratitude.

She watched Chu Wuji leave once again, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

As Chu Wuji had expected, after a short while, the wind outside began to pick up and gradually turned into a light rain.

The spring rain in Yuncheng is the coldest, feeling like ice shards scraping against you.

Gu Zixin quietly heated up a cup of milk tea for Chu Wuji and gently placed it on the cashier's counter, thinking that he could drink it when he came back.

After doing all that, she found herself with nothing to do again.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled Chu Wuji's small stool over and sat down, resting her head on the counter. Then she placed the teddy bear under the counter where it wouldn't be caught on camera.

A special [domain] emanated from Gu Zixin's body and enveloped the little bear.

The little bear swayed for a moment, then slowly floated up, as if it were in space.

This is Gu Zixin's awakened superpower: Gravity Control.

Superpowers are a very complex thing; they are like a set of rules that users need to gradually understand in order to use them.

Among them, mastering superpowers requires three crucial elements: [computing power], [formula], and [model].

Computing power comes from the human brain and determines the intensity and precision of superpowers. Some complex superpowers even require the user to have a certain level of knowledge in a particular field.

The formula is the application and summary of the characteristics of the ability. Take Gu Zixin's ability as an example. In theory, she can achieve flight by "eliminating the object's own gravity" and then "applying a gravity in a specific direction", but this process is extremely complicated.

Once she has formulated it into a "formula", she can make anything fly in any direction with just a thought.

As for the model, it is a more complex collection of multiple formulas.

Gu Zixin's dream is to get into a university with superpowers, and the admission standard for such schools is to meet the computing power requirement and master a formula.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Gu Zixin began to hone her skills, stopping in time when she saw someone approaching and transforming into a harmless cashier.

The day passed quickly, and as evening approached, Chu Wuji returned to the convenience store with a set of keys and told Gu Zixin the location of the house.

It's said that the old lady who runs the fruit shop across the street took pity on her and rented her a discounted room, which moved Gu Zixin deeply.

The people on this street are all angels. First, there was the boss who was willing to take me in and give me an advance on my salary, and now there is this kind and lovely old lady.

She cherished this long-lost warmth immensely.

That's why a strong sense of worry welled up in her heart.

What if... the organization discovers that they are not dead and tracks them here? Would that pose a danger to the people on this street?

Can I really bring this danger to these kind and good people with a clear conscience?

Lying on the soft bed in her rented room at night, Gu Zixin couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In the darkness, she opened her eyes.

"……no."

She muttered to herself, her voice cold and resolute.

"At the very least, everyone in the organization who knows me... must be killed."

"We must not let them threaten the boss and everything here."

A murderous intent quietly gathered in her heart.

The next day, Gu Zixin was unsurprisingly late because she had stayed up all night devising a meticulous plan to eliminate witnesses.
