Chapter 5: Cultivating Soul Power
Noon is the lunch that Chen Xiaofei's mother came back to cook, cooking is not Chen Xiaofei's mother's business alone, her father often cooks in the kitchen, but Chen Meizhu is not used to eating Chen Shengsheng's cooking, so most of the time Chen Meizhu cooks.
Except for being scolded by Chen Meizhu at the dinner table because Chen Ming was eating while watching TV, nothing happened.
After eating, it was Chen Xiaofei and her sister Chen Xiao who washed the dishes, or Chen Xiaofei usually washed them, and she asked her sister to wash them if she was not feeling well.
Washing dishes is her job, mopping the floor is her sister, Chen Xiao has to help her mother Chen Meizhu watch the shop for a while after school, and she can't go out to play.
Chen Meizhu went downstairs as soon as she finished eating. Downstairs is the vegetable market, Chen Xiaofei's grocery store is open in the middle of the entrance of the vegetable market, there are two stone lions on both sides, and two large stone pillars support a stone plaque, which reads "Wanda Li Market".
Chen Xiaofei and her father Chen Shengsheng's meal was as early as when Chen Meizhu was ready, and asked them to serve it to him to eat, as for the pots and bowls, they waited for dinner and then put them away for washing, generally they closed the shop at 12 o'clock in the morning, and opened the shop on time at six o'clock the next day, and at noon, the two took turns to rest and take a nap for an hour and a half. Except for the first three days of the New Year, there are 362 days a year, every day.
Chen Shengsheng and Chen Meizhu opened a grocery store that sells oil, rice, sauce and vinegar and some daily necessities, and the store is at the entrance of the vegetable market, and it has been open for seven years.
In the first two years, the business was very good, and I invited a young girl to help, but then the business got worse and worse year by year, especially in the past two years, which was particularly sluggish. The popularity of supermarkets and convenience stores has taken away some regular customers, and people are becoming more and more concerned about health and wellness. Originally, Chen Shengsheng's business was mainly for factories and workers in factories, but due to the increase in economic development and land prices, the factories in City D either closed down or moved to the suburbs or villages. The business has been greatly affected, and the sister-in-law is not invited, and then it has been the two of them who get up early and work late, perhaps because of this, Chen Meizhu's temper is getting worse and worse.
Of course, her temper has never been better.
At noon, Chen Xiaofei and her father came up for a lunch break, and her mother estimated that she would lie down on a foldable recliner in the store for a while as usual.
Chen Xiaofei just looked at the calendar at home, May 15, 2000, then her illness this time was the most serious illness when she was a child, she remembered it more deeply, because she had a fever of 39 at that time. At 5 degrees, the small clinic refused to accept it before transferring to a farther but regular hospital, for which she also asked for leave for five and a half days, which made her very happy, and she watched TV every day.
Her mother also took good care of her and bought her delicious food and drink, of course, this may also be compensating.
Chen Xiaofei actually had a fever for three days, and after she told Chen Meizhu that she was uncomfortable, Chen Meizhu had been taking medicine from the pharmacy for her to take, but Chen Xiaofei's illness had not improved, and when she came home from school on the third day, she couldn't walk anymore, and she didn't feel anything wrong, so she stopped and stopped, rested for a long time, and went home an hour later than usual.
Or when her dad went upstairs to go to the toilet, he saw her lying on the bed and didn't watch the TV like usual before taking her to see a doctor, and his father's face was always dark on the way there, probably because her mother didn't take the child to see a doctor for so long.
The night of D City in 2000 gave Chen Xiaofei the feeling of alternating prosperity and depression. New high-rise buildings and old low-rise houses, shopping malls and dark alleys with no end in sight at night, many people who have left their hometowns, many people who have become rich overnight and can't get rid of the rustic atmosphere, and the lullaby of coaxing children to sleep from the depths of the alleys
"The moonlight shines on the earth,
Shrimp boy, you obediently train to get out of bed,
Hearing that grandma is going to rush to plant seedlings,
Grandpa watched the cow giant on the hill,
Oh...... Oh...... Shrimp boy, you are growing up quickly,
Grandpa Helper went to see the cattle and sheep, oh...... Oh......
The moonlight illuminates the hall, shrimp boy, you obediently train to get out of bed,
Listen to Abba if you want to fish and shrimp,
Grandma weaves a net until the light of day,
Oh...... Oh......
Shrimp boy, you are growing up quickly,
The rowing boat is even better at casting the net,
Oh...... Oh......
The moonlight illuminates the hall, and the betel nut is picked on the evening of the third day of the year,
The harvest of grains is piled up in the warehouse,
The old and the young are beaming,
Oh...... Oh......
Shrimp boy, you quickly squint your eyes,
A sense of training to the light of day.
Oh...... Oh......"
At nine o'clock in the evening, her sister and her brother both lay down in bed on time, and Chen Xiaofei also turned off the TV and lay in bed, after all, there are no good programs now, as an adult who has been in the world of the future infotainment explosion, she has never seen anything, not to mention that she is more curious about her system.
After asking for a day today, she learned that the things that she wanted to take out and put into the perfect space needed soul power to support and open, and the perfect space was not expelled by the time and space where Chen Xiaofei was located because she absorbed her soul power as a cover, but even if her soul power was double that of others, it could only be supported until she was thirty years old, not including the soul power if she wanted to open the perfect space.
Chen Xiaofei wants to cry, is this better than other systems, it doesn't matter if you don't have to do tasks, there will be no punishment and no erasure, ah? If you don't do tasks, you can't open the system space, if you can't open the system space, you can't get good things, if you don't have good things, there are no rewards, you don't even have a newbie gift package, and you'll die at the age of thirty, isn't this a disguised punishment and obliteration? What does Lao Tzu want you to do, break the table.
Maybe it was because she received Chen Xiaofei's deep resentment, and her current mental state is not bad, so she decided to divert her attention after a perfect system analysis. No matter how he says it, he is also an intelligent system, and he understands nine points for the advantages and disadvantages of human beings.
"Host, is there anything you'd like to do in particular?" The system asks
"What do you particularly want to do? Well...... "Ma Dan, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what is the matter with this kind of questioning of the last words, will you speak?"
"So, is there anything you'd like to get in particular?" The system asked again
"That's what you're really looking for, yes. Does money count? "Can he hack into the Internet and turn other people's money into her money like in the novel, so that others have no money to spend, and he drools when he thinks about it.
"I can do that, but it won't do your job to prolong your life, are you sure?" The system asked in a low voice with a little smile
Don't talk to her in this seductive tone, the old virgin can't hold it, you know?
"Extend my life?" Chen Xiaofei's anger almost didn't turn into a real voice, waking up her sister and her brother.
Chen Xiaofei has always spoken to the system, communicating with the system in her brain, because she can't concentrate and not think cranky, her thoughts are often whimsical and not fixed, and she often complains when the system speaks, or asks questions, and sometimes she listens and thinks that her mouth is a little greedy, and there are some delicious things at home, so she and the system agree that only he can implement what she says, otherwise even if her brain flies into outer space, that is, her mind wanders, he can ignore her talking, Unless her mind is very firmly attached to that question, he can analyze and answer it as appropriate. Of course, as long as her soul power is enough, she can turn on the function of psychic connection.
When it was first set up, this function was only available in the contract, and the Venerable didn't have any concerns about insufficient soul power at all, or did the perfect system unload it by himself because Chen Xiaofei's soul power was insufficient, and Chen Xiaofei, who was so weak that he exploded, didn't know yet.
"Yes, the growth after every effort will be the improvement of your soul power. Work hard to make money, work hard, and succeed. "System
"Didn't you say that you can only get soul power by challenging yourself? How did it become an effort? "Chen Xiaofei is going to be stunned.
"Challenging oneself is not a blind rampage, but a victorious outwitting; is not an impulsive chasing after the wind, but a calm painstaking solitude; Not a rude boast, but a refined display of talent; It's not a showmanship, it's Sven's high-spirited festival!
A person's life is made up of countless challenges, and if you want to challenge, you will inevitably fail, but failure is the mother of success. Only those who learn to challenge can reach the other side of success first; Only those who know how to challenge are the people with the most confidence and strength! When facing every challenge in life, it must not be a perfunctory matter of "three days of fishing, two days of drying nets", it should be perseverance, repeated challenges until the dawn. You must know that when you challenge life, there will be many peaks and loops waiting for you not far away; There will be many hopeful hopes in desperate situations, patiently opening your warm heart for you; There will be a lot of fruit in the treetops waiting for you to pick. Self-challenge life is the only way you have no choice to fight for your life, but this way is the only weapon for you to get out of the single-plank bridge and walk towards the road! ”
After reading this passage in a reciting article-like tone, he said, "Challenging oneself can improve one's personality, make one's meaning clearer, and constantly make oneself a perfect person in one's own eyes or in the eyes of others, this is the secret of soul power improvement, of course, if you want to improve your soul power, you also need to cooperate with the correct cultivation method." As he spoke, he transmitted the cultivation method to Chen Xiaofei.
The transmission process is very simple, Chen Xiaofei's soul power is stronger than others, it is only a moment to receive it, and it is not a headache, if the spiritual power is not enough, it will hurt to receive so many heads at once, and spiritual power is also a part of soul power. It feels like the system just finished saying that there was a lot of information in her head, just like the computer was archived after the file was transferred, you can flip through it when you want it, and if you don't think about it seriously, you won't just pop out to brush the sense of existence, so don't expect Chen Xiaofei to understand the content inside.
"This is the cultivation method?" Chen Xiaofei asked
"Yes. In the future, you will need to work hard to improve your soul power. "System
"Yes, I will." No matter what it was for, if she asked God to let her be reborn, she would not allow herself to die young.
