#493 - Chapter 491 The unfairness of superpowers

"I didn't expect that you could grow to this extent in just eight months after awakening your ability. Abilities are truly illogical things."

Fang Jun seemed a little uncomfortable after receiving a "massage" from Qi Jing.

Not on his face, but in his mind.

A person like him had worked hard (getting beaten) for a year and a half, and in the end, he only managed to improve his danger prediction time by a fraction of a second.

Thinking about the life of having to satisfy other people's requests in order to get beaten every day, and then thinking about how Qi Jing could become stronger just by being touched a few times, he felt like crying.

In the past, he still believed that hard work could change everything.

But only after working hard did he realize.

The world has never been fair.

Some people are born stronger than others, from amniotic fluid to that other-dimensional door. The former is fate, the latter is defying fate.

He changed, but it doesn't seem like he changed much.

Damn heavens!

I'm not convinced!

But what can I do?

I'm already here, so I'll just make do.

"Qi Jing, junior, do you have any methods that would allow me to lie down and improve my ability?"

"Don't mention it, I actually do."

Qi Jing had also thought about what he would do to improve if he had an ability like Fang Jun's, which only grew when attacked.

Don't mention it, he really did think of a good way:

"You lock yourself in a place full of mosquitoes. They will cause you harm, but the harm won't be great, which is perfect for your ability. What do you think?"

"Ah?"

Fang Jun, who was listening attentively to his good idea, wore a crestfallen expression.

He thought it was a good idea, but it turned out to be feeding himself to mosquitoes!

Isn't itching not much better than pain?

But on second thought, this is indeed a good way. As long as you're not afraid of itching, you can indeed become stronger while lying down, which is much faster than taking requests and asking people to beat you up.

Hesitating for 3 seconds—

Decided! I'll go back and buy some mosquitoes to try. I heard that they sell mosquitoes online. I wonder how much it costs for a yearly subscription....

"What kind of requests have you guys been doing before? How could you be called a slave society?"

Hearing Qi Jing's question, Fang Jun and Cai Ziqin had a lot to say.

Cai Ziqin took out a large bag of melon seeds and placed it on the front desk, gossiping:

"You know Wang Zhiyong, the one who was watching dancing just now, right? His request is considered good, not high at all. He's also weak, so you can satisfy him with just a few twists.

Other small requests, like holding hands, giving massages, and cooking meals, are all pretty good.

Among them, pretending to be someone's boyfriend or girlfriend to meet their parents, putting together a superpowered sky wedding car team, and filling up the numbers for a beautiful men's club are all quite interesting requests.

But some requests are more perverted, such as asking to be stepped on with feet, and even adding the additional condition of wearing stockings.

Even more extreme, some people like to be scolded.

They feel comfortable after being scolded a few times. I just can't understand it."

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin nodded:

"We can't understand it either."

"I like doing that. It feels great to scold people," Fang Jun said with a smile.

Cai Ziqin cracked a melon seed and continued:

"Perverted as they may be, these requests are relatively easy.

But some people are not so easy to satisfy.

Some people ask them to wash pets, especially those that are large and have a lot of fur. Do you know how much it costs to wash them at a regular store? It's very expensive, but here we only need to have a fight, a kiss, or even spend some Origin Power to wash them for free.

There are also requests to find lost pets in the mountains, which is not much easier than washing them.

Also, delivering express delivery to snow mountains, delivering takeout to volcanoes, making海底捞 at the bottom of the sea, and being a gliding safety officer in Sky City.

Even more extreme, some people need to dig holes in places where machines can't go, which is not difficult but very laborious.

Not to mention those brain-damaged guys who ask them to poke holes in biscuits or count beans."

Poke holes in biscuits? I'm good at that!

Ahem, this is not the time to talk about that.

Qi Jing asked:

"So troublesome? Does anyone really take them?"

"There's no way around it. Who told them that their ability can only be improved by others? If they don't do this, who would casually hand over a tooth, an arm, or even their total Origin Power?"

The conditions for some members' abilities to become stronger are very harsh and cruel.

A tooth is indeed considered good.

Some people's ability "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" requires other people's arms, some people's ability "Star-Sucking Great Technique" requires other people's total Origin Power, and some people's ability "Thousand-Faced Demon Lord" requires human faces, real human faces.

Not to mention abilities like "Corpse Driver" that require other people's corpses, and they must be the fleshy kind.

But these corpses all have owners. If you want to use them, you have to fulfill their last wishes.

So, if you don't complete some high-difficulty requests that no one wants to do, why would people hand over such important things to you?

"So, many of these red requests are unopened."

Hearing Qi Jing's question, Cai Ziqin sighed:

"Yeah, their abilities haven't improved much, so their strength isn't very strong. And if their strength isn't strong, they can't complete big requests, so they're stuck in a dead cycle. They can only digest internally. You use my face, I use your arm, and then we go to the infirmary together to find someone to treat us."

What a harmonious scene.

Pah, how miserable.

Listening to Cai Ziqin's words, Qi Jing also felt deeply.

Abilities are indeed unfair.

In order to improve these abilities that can only be improved with the cooperation of others, they have to sell smiles and dance, and take on those heavy and tiring jobs, just like slaves. No wonder they are called a slave society.

In comparison, my ability to become stronger just by touching things is indeed abnormal.

What should I do if I feel like my kindness is about to explode?

"Even with this, our popularity is not too high. After all, our task system is almost the same as Otherworld Express, except that we don't collect points, but 'requests'," Cai Ziqin complained.

Otherworld Express's task system allows anyone to post tasks as long as they have points, which overshadows most of the reputation of their Welfare Society.

For example, Qi Jing, their dormitory has been at school for half a semester, and they haven't even heard of the existence of the Welfare Society.

"Senior, don't worry, with me here, I'll raise the reputation of our Welfare Society in this club war and let everyone know about it."

Qi Jing said that as long as he takes action, publicity will not be a problem.

Cai Ziqin's eyes flashed with light:

"Junior, that's great. It's really a blessing that our Welfare Society has you! I thank you on their behalf!"

Hearing her words, Qi Jing scratched his head embarrassedly.

I still haven't done enough good deeds. I'm still a little embarrassed to be thanked.

"Senior, why isn't your ability written on the board?"

Tan Zuoyin observed all the requests here and found that none of them were "Join something" or "Integrate into something."

Could it be that Senior Cai Ziqin doesn't want to become stronger? Is she the kind of person with a easy-going mentality?

"Because it's useless to write mine."

Cai Ziqin explained:

"Integrating into my camp will make you stronger, but this ability also has a prerequisite, which is that the other party must sincerely integrate. Only formality is not enough.

Like when Mo Mo Zai joined just now, he must have thought that signing the contract meant integrating into the club. It can be seen that he is a person who pays more attention to and acknowledges written agreements.

But some people don't have a sense of belonging even if they sign the contract, so I won't become stronger."
