The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 8 - Chaotic City
Everyone knew that some fierce fights had recently occurred in Sadina City…
Except for Su Li, who had been staying at home all the time.
At first, Egbert didn’t realize that the person he admired was an ultimate homebody, until Su Li hadn’t gone out for nearly half a month. Egbert even took the initiative to say, “If you choose to go out with me, I can give you one gold coin each time.”
But the person gazed at by those deep sea-like blue eyes calmly replied, “That won’t be necessary.”
Recently, Su Li had been eating “Stargazy Pie” with an unchanged expression. The main reason was that Egbert bought the groceries and cooked. Even if the pie was half-cooked and smelled fishy, Su Li wouldn’t be picky or say anything provocative.
Otherwise, the next scene might directly shift to a graveyard.
Su Li didn’t consider himself a child, nor did he feel the need to go out and witness the grand scenes of this other world.
Besides, it didn’t matter if Su Li didn’t understand much about this Western fantasy world.
When you can’t understand a world, you just need to bring that world into a realm you can understand.
For instance, Euphia is the next heir to the intermediary company—
Returning to Egbert’s desire for him to go out.
Su Li tilted his head and looked at Egbert strangely. “Surely you can imagine that when Euphia is carrying out new project reforms so boldly, there must be people who feel unilaterally harmed in this situation.”
Even if the final result is good, change naturally instills fear in the human heart.
“For the middle and lower classes, losing a job (life) means losing everything.”
“When certain that only a dead end lies ahead, ordinary people’s behavior, like a chicken whose throat has been cut but hasn’t died on the spot, will only descend into madness.”
This is a city where everyone is connected to the intermediary company.
During the stage where internal members face layoffs (suppression and assassination), it’s impossible for them not to try to find the source of Euphia’s desire for change before they are completely removed from their positions (killed).
Even though Su Li didn’t think he had given Euphia any significant advice, he understood that people’s hearts would uncontrollably choose to vent their anger.
Moreover, most mercenaries are straightforward, and Euphia never tried to conceal the news that she had come to see Su Li.
So, Su Li was quite self-aware about the possibility of being ambushed and beaten up.

Most importantly, he was the one who had single-handedly lowered the power system of this world to a new low.
Don’t court death; if you dare to do so, you really will die.
Going out was impossible. At least until the chaos calmed down a bit, Su Li could then relatively calmly go job hunting.
It’s worth noting that within a 100-meter radius of this small Western-style house, two or three explosion sounds could be heard every day.
Su Li always remembered that even if this world wasn’t much different from the one he came from (?), he shouldn’t assume it really wasn’t that different.
As he was thinking this, suddenly, a loud boom echoed nearby. The explosion sound was so close that Su Li wondered if it was right at his doorstep...
Egbert, who had been secretly excited, was recording Su Li’s words in his newly replaced notebook. In an instant, due to the sudden explosion, he drew a glaring ink mark on the white paper.
Su Li looked at him in amazement, seeing the veins on his forehead actually popping up. Although novels often mention “veins bulging,” Su Li had always thought it was an exaggeration.
He only knew that after walking for several hours continuously, the veins on his feet would become relatively visible. However, these suddenly protruding veins from a relaxed state…
It definitely indicated a state of skyrocketing blood pressure.
Su Li suddenly began to worry. If his creditor developed high blood pressure… did this world even have blood pressure-lowering medications?
“Bastards, who told you idiots to blow up this building! This is Euphia’s separate residence!”
“What are you talking about? That’s hilarious. Wasn’t our goal to get revenge on Euphia in the first place?”
“You’re the hilarious one, idiot! Getting revenge on Euphia doesn’t mean we have to confront her directly. You’ve blown up her house – do you want to become her mortal enemy and be chased to the ends of the earth? She’s an elementalist just one step away from the Family level.”
Su Li was momentarily at a loss. He hadn’t expected that not going out would still result in people attacking him.
The people arguing outside seemed ready to start fighting among themselves. Then they noticed that the door, which had been badly damaged by the impact of water and fire elements, was directly lifted off by a pale hand…
In this world where most things are reinforced by wind elements, when facing other elementalists (excluding Su Li), people rarely limit individual strength. After all, if your grip strength is thousands of pounds, so is mine…
But this door, reinforced by wind elements to nearly three tons, was lifted by a single hand…
“Run, you idiot! What are you hesitating for? There must be a Family level elementalist inside. Damn it, I knew we shouldn’t have come to blow up Euphia’s house!”
“Look at my damn feet, will you!”
Light elements in Egbert’s hand formed a rope.
To Su Li, the rope looked very similar to a glow stick in modern society, except it emitted pure white light.
Then Egbert pulled hard. The two burly-looking mercenaries opposite, for some unknown reason, fell towards each other after Egbert’s action. Their heads collided with a thud that made Su Li wince and close his eyes.
That’s definitely a concussion!
The Son of Light, who looked anything but righteous, walked over to the two men.
Because Egbert’s back was to Su Li, he couldn’t see clearly what happened. He only knew that after facing Egbert, the two mercenaries howled twice before scrambling away.
Su Li rubbed his chin in thought. Egbert must have threatened those two with words or force; otherwise, how could they run away so quickly?
However, in the eyes of the fleeing mercenaries: This is a demon! This man is definitely a demon! He must be a monster rejected by the God of Light and embraced by darkness!
Of course, they shouted this out loud, but due to their rapid speech and the relative distance, Su Li couldn’t hear clearly.
“Are you hurt?” Although he had watched the whole process, Su Li, due to his lack of understanding of elemental properties and level classifications, still asked this seemingly unnecessary question.
Egbert, however, was a bit happy.
The mercenaries’ evaluation of him as a monster did upset Egbert. After all, living in this world, no one else was like Su Li, who would only give a “Did you forget to go to the mental hospital?” expression to those hurtful and clearly insulting remarks.
“I’m fine.” In an instant, Egbert pulled out a new notebook from inside his openable vest.
A notebook already stained was not worthy of recording the words of Lord Su Li!
Su Li looked at the brand new, completely blank notebook with a slightly confused expression.
“How many of these notebooks did you prepare?”
“The house Euphia rented for us has a basement. However, because it’s relatively dark and you don’t need it, I’ve been using it unilaterally to store items. I hope this hasn’t displeased you.” Egbert felt ashamed, thinking he had acted on his own.
Su Li suddenly realized. “Oh, so this is the legendary separate residence with its own storage.”
He had never seen one before.
Soon after, Cyril returned from outside.
This morning when he left, his mission was to buy groceries and stock up. With the fights in Sadina City becoming more intense, Egbert was worried about leaving Su Li alone at home, so Cyril volunteered to go shopping.
After navigating countless alleys he had become familiar with, he finally returned home, only to find their front door had been removed…
Cyril cried out in despair. “This is my first home!”
“Do you want a second or third home?” Su Li rubbed his chin thoughtfully before saying, “As expected of you, understanding the importance of hoarding houses in the city center at such a young age, even though we can only rent now.”
Cyril stood there, stunned.
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Su Li wanted to say he was just joking, but feeling it might discourage the child, he simply acted as if he hadn’t done anything. He coughed once and said, “So, what are we eating today?”
“Cream mou mou meat rice stew.” Cyril completely denied Egbert any chance of entering the kitchen.
(TL: 哞哞 (mōu mōu) – The onomatopoeic sound of a cow’s moo, often used in a cute or playful way to refer to beef or cow-related dishes.)
Before eating that pie, Cyril thought Egbert’s otherworldliness was just because he had never cooked before. Later, he realized that Egbert might have been eating his own completely unreasonable creations from the very beginning, resulting in a distorted sense of taste.
He had never eaten normal food at all!
The strange appearance of the food was one thing, but it being completely uncooked and the seasoning tasting weird was another matter altogether.
Cyril made up his mind that as long as the three of them were at home, he would never give Egbert a chance to enter the kitchen in this lifetime.
As for Su Li, who had received an answer…
He couldn’t understand it at all.
Just eat and be done with it.
When Cyril finished cooking and brought the food to the table, Su Li obediently washed his hands and sat in his designated seat.
— Because he was considered the shortest in the family, and everything in this other world was unexpectedly built tall and large, the chair Su Li was currently sitting on was one exclusively for children in this world.
As the food entered his mouth, while Su Li was wondering whether the sweet dish was a pre-meal dessert or the main course, Egbert was stunned.
The Son of Light, who had never eaten normal food before, and Cyril, who hadn’t really eaten proper meals when he was a beggar, were amazed. The former marveled that food could have such a taste, while the latter thought his cooking skills weren’t bad, and he might even have a talent for it.
Only Su Li.
He said very weakly, “I want to eat rice.”
Ah rice, rice, rice is the world’s treasure!
When Euphia arrived at this small building with several impressive-looking people behind her, what she saw was Su Li sprawled on the table, listless, looking as if his soul had left his body.
