The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 44 - Good Person Card

Comforting children wasn’t something Su Li was accustomed to, but he couldn’t just let it go.

When Qi actively approached, Su Li was thinking that something unfortunate might have happened to this child as well.

Although it might seem strange, Su Li discovered that everyone around him seemed to have experienced some unpleasant events.

As it turned out, Su Li’s guess was correct.

In fact, it was similar in modern society back then.

It’s just that adults were more aware of the concept of personal boundaries. When sharing one’s privacy and life experiences with others, it was essentially revealing how soft one’s heart was.

And how easily it could be hurt.

Such behavior in social relationships might not necessarily be met with similarly soft treatment.

To avoid getting hurt, most people maintained a social distance that allowed them to withdraw at any time.

But people in this other world apparently didn’t think that way.

After all, starting from Cyril, who first begged alongside Su Li, and then the first person he met afterward, Egbert, had already established Su Li’s understanding that people in this world were not quite normal.

Pulling himself from his thoughts, Su Li looked at Qi’s bewildered expression and sighed softly. “It’s okay if you don’t understand.”

“I just want to tell you that instead of thinking about what you’ve lost, think about what you’ve gained. Even if things remain the same, an individual’s inner heart can feel much better by changing perspective.”

Qi now understood, and the expressionless child stared directly into Su Li’s eyes. “But you’re just deceiving yourself.”

“This can hardly be called self-deception,” Su Li waved his hand, refusing to accept that definition. “The premise of self-deception is something completely fabricated from nothing. Changing perspectives and thinking about uncomfortable problems from an angle that makes oneself feel better is essentially just a choice.”

Although he thought and said this, Su Li was well aware that this was merely an evaluation based on his personal insights and judgments about the world after experiencing everything.

There was nothing particularly significant about it. If it could make Qi feel more at ease, Su Li would feel his words weren’t wasted.

But Su Li didn’t know that in Qi’s eyes, his current behavior was being idealized through a filter.

Su Li was a very attractive person, which most people knew but didn’t care about.

Yet this quality was incredibly appealing to a child.

Therefore, in Qi’s eyes, Su Li’s calm words seemed like gentleness, and Su Li’s eyes, free from excess, were perceived as pure.

A pair of clean eyes has always been easy to win people’s favor – those eye health exercises from years ago could prove this point.

At this moment, coupled with the words Su Li spoke, each word became a tool to pry open the windows of Qi’s soul.

Just a little more was needed.

Even though Qi’s heart had softened considerably and was separating from sorrowful emotions, he still stubbornly spoke with a flat expression. “You only saw the facts and the options beyond those facts. I can’t do that.”

In terms of perspective, experience, knowledge, and emotional judgment, he was inferior.

No, Qi believed the things he possessed were far less than a mountain’s distance compared to Su Li.

“But isn’t the gap between you and me sourced from some unseen things in this city?”

The freedom of Sadina City would make many who saw it feel envious like free birds, longing like swimming fish.

Su Li didn’t continue discussing this with Qi.

When Qi chose to dialogue with Su Li, his attention had already been diverted. No longer immersed in sorrow was what Su Li had tried to change, and after achieving that…

Su Li was still Su Li, still a salted fish.

Su Li’s voice slowly and calmly said to Qi, “So, what do you plan to do next?”

“I used to want to become very strong…”

Become extremely strong, ideally to the point of being able to grind the child adopted by his father into the ground. Although this was misplaced anger, Qi still wanted to do this…

He also wanted to tell his father that he wasn’t as incompetent as his father imagined.

But this was all proven impossible beneath Qi’s mediocre talent.

Elemental affinity was something innate and unchangeable.

Su Li thought Qi was truly an obsessive child, still desperately charging down a path even when it was blocked.

Because everyone in this world followed this logic, Qi’s logical inertia was truly frightening.

“Why not give up thinking about how to become strong, and instead consider how you can stand above others if you never gain power?”

Su Li felt the phrase “reaching life’s peak” was too general, because such statements often had prefixes indicating a specific path.

Therefore, if there were enough paths to so-called life’s peak, one wouldn’t be confused by immediate obstacles. He was confused because he was still a child, stubbornly fixated on a single route.

Su Li spent a second imagining what he would do if he were in Qi’s position to make his family regret.

The conclusion was simple: do business.

Do any legal business that makes money.

Money doesn’t necessarily make people happy. After all, when Lan Zhe spent money, it was mostly to achieve certain goals.

Like sending Su Li to school…

Of course, this was just an example.

If Su Li were Qi, he could do the same.

With enough money, if nothing else, Sadina City itself would be the best bridge.

Free mercenaries would be happy to take money to protect their employer’s personal safety and appropriately teach a lesson to those who provoke their employer.

However, Su Li also knew this idea was rough, conceived in just a few seconds, and might not necessarily be suitable for Qi’s method of change.

Qi’s obsession with power would take time to let go.

So right now, the most important thing was still…

“Cyril, let’s go home,” Su Li called to Cyril, who was standing nearby looking bored.

Qi would have plenty of time to think about what path to take next.

As for Cyril, he felt a “do as you please” attitude towards Su Li and Qi’s conversation, while also thinking, “Don’t you think you’ve involved too many people in these past six months?”

Although Cyril had said this himself.

“I’m quite lucky,” Su Li said calmly. “At least everyone I’ve met, including you, are good people.”

Cyril coughed heavily, his face turning slightly red.

Su Li smiled.

Su Li always had some strange thoughts.

For instance, for people Su Li didn’t accept, he would never allow them to enter his world. This world didn’t mean a friendly interaction, but rather the scope of dialogue.

Simply put, for people Su Li disliked, he wouldn’t even speak to them.

In such situations, Su Li wouldn’t care about offending how many people. This so-called “offending” was essentially something that could only develop after Su Li’s acknowledgment.

They wouldn’t develop strange feelings toward Su Li.

Even Egbert, who seemed the most abnormal, Su Li understood was a fanatical believer who had lost his faith and then found it again.

Willing to give everything for the “God” he had determined.

It might sound pale, but this was indeed Egbert’s motivation to continue living.

Therefore, Su Li was willing to serve as the motivation supporting Egbert’s survival. After all, as long as one was alive, there was always time to find more things to support oneself.

From another perspective, the Church was indeed garbage.

Once a child was detected to have a high Light elemental affinity, they would be directly taken away by the Church from their parents’ side.

The bonds formed with family during early childhood, when memory is not yet clear, would quickly be severed. At such times, the Church, providing money and resources, would become everything.

For Su Li, an old hand who would feel hurt by being abandoned by those most valued, let alone young Egbert, it’s no wonder he would think of not wanting to live.

Ignoring his internal criticism, Su Li remembered the essential meaning of Cyril’s previous words. It was an awkward kind of concern. How did Su Li know?

Of course, by judging from personality.

People who approached Su Li, without saying anything else, he understood their personalities.

“You’re blushing,” Su Li told Cyril.

This wasn’t meant to tease. Su Li had no inclination to speak any inappropriate words to children, and he would find it disgusting regardless of legality.

Su Li simply wanted to tease Cyril.

Because Cyril’s scales were really beautiful.

When Cyril couldn’t hide them, the scales looked more like special effect makeup drawn by modern beauty bloggers.

The dark red scales, combined with Cyril’s blood-red eyes caused by facial nerve stimulation when he couldn’t hide the scales, doubled the demon king’s temperament.

Others might uncontrollably despise him because of his beast blood.

But Su Li was different.

Su Li didn’t think he was special, he simply affirmed…

He was still himself, loving beautiful things.

Cyril predictably bristled.

The intense emotional fluctuation made the scales on his face appear unstable. At this moment, Su Li saw an even more dreamlike scene.

The barely visible scales floating on Cyril’s face, with his red eyes, now truly resembled a Western little demon from some artwork.

He quickened his pace.

So cute.

Cyril’s voice came through the wind. “If you keep being so long-winded, I’ll tell Lan Zhe you don’t want to eat rice anymore.”

“Don’t do that. That’s the minimum standard for surviving in this meaningless world.”

They returned home in a posture very typical of normal 12-13-year-old children after school.

Then, Lan Zhe was talking to Roy.

“A ninth-level monster beast has indeed appeared in Jisuo Town as Su Li predicted.”
