The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 121

Burn Your Heart

“I think this is unreasonable, I want to eat too,” said the serious-faced Mavis, who at this moment had a cast on her left hand.

“To be fair, you dragged me into the fight later on purely because the situation got out of control. And I entered this situation as a third-party mediator,” said Cyril with a bandage on the corner of his mouth, speaking through gritted teeth.

“Him and I are the same. We’re truly uninvolved parties, just simply observing from the sidelines,” Qi, with an obvious bump on his forehead, nodded in agreement.

Lan Zhe, however, folded his arms and gave everyone a cold look.

“What’s there to think about? Don’t even think about it. Dreaming is more realistic.”

“Don’t talk about mediating. Even though my main attention was always on Roy, I caught you secretly kicking Egbert more than once.”

“As for Cyril and Qi, you couldn’t even avoid the mere shockwaves of the battle and managed to get yourselves beaten black and blue. Shouldn’t you two reflect on yourselves?”

Egbert spoke in a muffled tone. “I understand why they need to reflect, but what did I do wrong?”

During yesterday’s fight, there was a moment when everyone was ganging up on Egbert.

Now he not only had a bump on his head and a bandage on his forehead, but also a bruise at the corner of his mouth, with casts on both his left hand and right leg.

Euphia, who had several broken ribs and found it painful even to breathe, sneered. “Men, especially men like you, are wrong just by breathing.”

Usually not one to speak out of turn, when it came to crucial moments, Egbert just made people grind their teeth in hatred, wanting to hang him up and beat him.

Egbert: ……………………

The Lion’s Club leader, as a fellow sufferer, patted Egbert’s shoulder with difficulty while covered in injuries.

Diz was in even worse shape, lacking even the strength to speak.

The Son of Light suffered the worst fate, sharing both the “Xiao Zuo” attribute of one of the main targets of the group attack, and the same attribute as Egbert, who had drawn the most hatred.

At the time, he had simply, out of humanitarian concern, caught the poor Mark who had been thrown out, and tried to heal him with light elements, only to be hit in the head by an attack and forcibly dragged into the battlefield.

In this process, he drew aggression like those two and took many beatings.

Su Li looked at everyone present, placed his empty porridge bowl gently on the table, and asked, “Where’s Roy?”

Everyone was here, and although each looked miserable, it felt like those not present might be even worse off.

At the mention of this name, Lan Zhe’s gaze grew colder as he laughed coldly and said, “That kind of ignorant person, after being taught a lesson, naturally needs some time to absorb the knowledge and wisdom of being human.”

Personal grudge, it was absolutely filled with personal vengeance!

Everyone present looked at Lan Zhe with horror in their eyes.

Compared to Egbert, who could still painfully shuffle from his room to the hall, Roy, who had drawn the hatred of the Dark Holy Son, was now lying in bed in his room, with only his eyes able to move.

But despite this, the bruise around his left eye socket made his eyes appear uneven in size.

The Raven and “Xiao Zuo,” or more accurately Liwusi, were somewhat better off, though when the former reverted to his raven form, not only was a patch of his back bare, but his feathers were also less glossy.

With a glance, Su Li discovered that Liwusi appeared unchanged. Before he could ask, the Raven, who had been keeping his attention on him, said, “This guy is just using illusion magic to create a seemingly intact illusion around himself.”

Julius was strong enough that no one except the Raven could see through his true appearance now.

However, after the Raven said this, Su Li found it strange. “I can’t even see the clothes you simulate with dark elements when you transform into human form, so why can’t I see through him?”

“Because his concealment technique isn’t applied to himself, but to those looking at him.”

“When elements condense into solid form, even if you can’t tell they’re created by elements, you can still see them.”

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain how Su Li could see everything during their intense battle when light effects were flying everywhere.

Having received the answer to the riddle, Su Li stood up from his chair with feigned apology, slightly bowing as he said, “Well, it’s not good quality to eat alone, but I also can’t cook, so…”

“So you can’t cook, not that you don’t know how to cook?” Cyril’s eyes lit up.

On this topic, Su Li couldn’t help but ask, “Actually, what I’m more curious about is, since humans can create kitchen utensils that require different elements to power them, it shows that humans have made considerable progress in using elements as energy sources.”

“But why is the use of elements rarely applied to various aspects of daily life?”

The beneficial aspects of elements that Su Li had experienced so far were limited to the various fire stones that Euphia could create with her bare hands.

As for other things…

They neither used light elements as lamps, nor fire elements for illumination, and even in summer they hadn’t used wind elements to create breezes… although he had pestered Roy for a few cups of shaved ice, that was something from months ago.

No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem reasonable.

“Unless… no one has thought about using elements, which are used for battle, in daily life.”

The alchemy devices that provided three minutes of invincibility, despite being the product of multiple parties working together, was still an incredible power.

In the hands of top experts, even the slightest difference could change the course of battle, let alone a full three minutes.

“All methods of element use are devoted to battle… not production, not agriculture. If it weren’t for the bread that makes a knocking sound when hit on someone’s head available in street shops, I might even doubt whether this world has wheat.”

How could such a distorted situation form?

Su Li sighed.

“Then what do you think elements could be used for?”

Someone asked this question.

“As far as I know, if light elements were truly used as energy sources, they could make outstanding contributions to at least the fields of electronics, communications, healthcare, and so on.”

After saying this, Su Li paused.

“I seem to remember that, when we were staying in Jisuo Town, Eg had done some long-distance information transmission.”

Not letters, but actual video communication.

Of course, light elements themselves also had obvious applications in medicine.

Despite Egbert looking the most miserable lying in the hall, in reality, if they were to rely on the human body’s natural healing speed to recover from these injuries, by the time the bump on Qi’s head went down, Egbert might have already recovered about seventy or eighty percent.

It was just… a bit absurd.

Su Li’s mind was as complicated as a tangled ball of yarn.

Elements, which existed in human bodies as a secondary energy source, could theoretically be obtained through cultivation, and once this power was completely consumed, it could be regained through time and self-recovery.

Perpetual motion machines couldn’t be realized, but in this world, as long as people weren’t killed, they would never lack energy.

What did this equate to?

It meant that all modern society’s projects that were bottlenecked by energy issues could be seamlessly implemented.

Based on this point, Su Li began to discuss with everyone about how many fields elements could be widely applied to. The conclusions they reached were no longer inclined towards the basic common sense of another world, but rather incorporated the context of this world itself.

For example, high-energy nuclear weapons as strategic weapons.

Starting research from scratch in this world was obviously not as advantageous as alchemy devices, which already had a significant development scale.

Although not many people believed that alchemy devices alone could cause fatal damage to powerful beings like the Raven.

But since there was already a clear development path on this road, it proved this was a viable approach.

Su Li’s thoughts became increasingly uncontrollable as they extended further.

Su Li could clearly articulate the changes before and after his transmigration, but he also clearly discovered that, apart from some unique entertainment systems of modern society, countless things needed in daily life in this world could be replaced by elements.

Yet, Mark would still choose to wash his clothes by hand, and others did the same when tidying up.

Su Li fell into self-absorption.

But he soon discovered that one could become even more self-absorbed.

For instance, Cyril, with a bandage on the corner of his mouth, told Su Li, “It’s fine if there’s no food to eat, but we can’t continue this conversation.”

A question mark slowly appeared above Su Li’s head.

Cyril looked at the clock hanging on a wall in the living room and said, “Have you forgotten that you’re still a student at Asa Academy?”

“Although classes were suspended for a long time due to the war, when it was discovered that the army outside the city was essentially just for show, the Dean resumed normal classes.”

“To be precise, the holiday only lasted for about half a month. Rounding up, you’ve practically been skipping classes for three months.”

“Also, Dean Asa said that you need to take the spring advancement exam, otherwise you’ll have to repeat the year.”

For a moment, Su Li couldn’t distinguish between the otherworld and the world before his transmigration, and realized for the first time that the gap between worlds was really just a small crack between two fingers, rather than a universe at fingertips.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Su Li: “Are we supposed to just attend normal classes now?”

Cyril: “What else do you think we can do if we don’t attend classes?”

Su Li: …………

After three seconds of silence, he said, “Perhaps we could communicate with ‘Xiao Zuo’… no, with Liwusi about things from the other world.”

But Cyril told Su Li, “Others can do that too, but if you don’t go to class and don’t pass the spring exam, then you’ll have to repeat the year, and we won’t be able to stay in the same class.”

Thus, Su Li was forced to carry the soul of a great wizard in the body of a middle school student, facing a social structure where war could break out at any time, and the battle between humans and monster beasts that could appear before his eyes at any moment, and began to think…

How to pass the spring exam at Asa Academy.

However, before taking heavy steps to school, Su Li didn’t forget to tell Egbert, “Rest well, I hope you’ll be able to eat dinner when I come back tonight.”

Everyone could see that Su Li was saying these words to Egbert with a sense of brotherhood in adversity, but Egbert himself couldn’t see it.

“I never thought Lord Su Li would care so much about whether I could eat or not. I feel like my heart is soaking in a hot spring!”

Euphia pulled a tablecloth over Egbert’s head and waved goodbye to Su Li, whose silhouette was becoming desolate as he went to school.

From the red building came Euphia’s clear voice, reaching far and piercing the heart.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely heat that hot spring into a volcano and burn your heart.”
