12. Emotional manipulators
Mi Xiaolu originally wanted to go home with Hang Yi after class. But because of the unexpected incident in the first class in the afternoon, he canceled this plan, and also canceled the plan to confess to Hang Yi.
Things have changed. If what happened in the afternoon was true - he did have the superpower to control "that", then everything would have changed.
Mi Xiaolu wanted to try it right away, but couldn't think of how to try it.
Along the way, he pondered the question. In order to gain time to think alone, instead of taking the car home, he chose to walk.
After walking for an hour, Mi Xiaolu was still at a loss - the ability he chose was more 'pumping', and he couldn't think of how to use it for a while.
At this time, Mi Xiaolu passed by a barbecue restaurant, felt a little hungry, wanted to eat something, and sat down casually to think about it. He walked into the store and said to the owner, "Roast twenty skewers of lamb 'meat' and ten skewers of potatoes." ”
"Okay, eat here or take it away?"
"Eat it right here and open a bottle of Coke."
Mi Xiaolu chose a small square table and sat down, drinking Coke through a straw. In addition to him, there are three tables of people in the barbecue restaurant. There were two tables full of more than five people, happily eating, drinking, and bragging. Only at another small square table sat a man of about thirty years of age, a man with a blank face and a sullen drink. Mi Xiaolu noticed that there was a beer under his table, and he had already drunk most of it.
Mi Xiaolu didn't pay much attention to it, he was still thinking about his own thoughts. The boss brought the barbecue 'meat' skewers after a while, and Mi Xiaolu began to eat.
I had just eaten a few skewers, and suddenly I heard the man who was drinking alcohol shouting: "Boss, hug again...... A piece of wine come over! There was a clear drunkenness in his voice.
The boss walked over with some embarrassment, rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, have you drunk so much alone?" Don't get drunk......"
The man glanced at the boss, burped, blushed, and staggered, "What do you mean?" Afraid of me...... Don't have the money to settle the bill? ”
"No, no, that's not what I meant......"
The man 'touched' the wallet from his 'trousers' bag, 'pulled' out five 100 sheets from the thick stack of money, and slapped them on the table: "Is it enough?" Take it! ”
"Look, sir, that's not what I meant." The boss said as he smiled and took the five hundred yuan. "I'm reminding you, I'm afraid you'll get drunk and hurt yourself."
"You don't care so much!" The man drunkenly said, "Just bring the wine!" And also...... Roast two more brain 'flowers'. ”
"Okay, okay......" The boss agreed and beckoned the guy to hold the wine.
Mi Xiaolu could see that this man was completely deliberately drunk, but he didn't know why he was doing this. At this moment, he heard a man at the table behind him whisper to his companion, "This man has fallen out of love, and he is drinking wine to drown his sorrows." ”
"How do you know if someone is out of love?" A 'woman' at the same table asked in a whisper.
"When I went out to buy cigarettes, I heard him talking on the phone outside, crying and begging a 'woman' named He Jing to forgive her, but the other party quickly hung up the phone - can't you see what's going on?"
"It must be a man who made a mistake."
"Don't say it, it's ...... to be heard"
The latter words, Mi Xiaolu couldn't hear clearly, but he guessed that the same was the case. Now, the man opened another bottle of beer with his corkscrew, craned his neck and poured most of the bottle.
Suddenly, Mi Xiaolu was shocked. Isn't this an opportunity? I can use this man to test my abilities.
Mi Xiaolu stopped eating and silently watched the drunk man from behind.
After drinking most of the beer, the man became even more drunk and his mood seemed even lower. He lay down on the table with a sad expression, and his mouth seemed to be reading a man's name, and tears flowed down his face.
Suddenly, the man straightened up, and his confused eyes opened, as if the wine had woken up in an instant. Gradually, the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a smile, and his expression became brighter, like the sun shining on his face.
He stood up, walked to the bathroom in the store and washed his face with clean water, and when he came out, the whole person's 'spirit' condition was completely different. He looked at everyone with a smile and nodded, and the change was so great that everyone present was stunned.
The boss is probably worried that something is wrong with this person's 'spirit', and that he will suddenly make some unexpected moves. He walked over with sincere trepidation and asked, "Sir, are you alright?" The wine...... Just don't drink it. ”
The man smiled and patted the boss on the shoulder: "It's okay, I know how much I drink." Happy today, let's have a few more drinks! ”
"High ...... Glad? "The boss couldn't react.
"yes." The man smiled heartily and said, "I suddenly figured it out just now, life always has to experience a lot of unsatisfactory, as long as this page is turned, it is a new beginning, of course, it is something to be happy about!" ”
"Well said! This is the attitude that a man should have! A middle-aged uncle at the table next to him couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed, "Young man, in fact, I couldn't stand you borrowing wine there to drown your sorrows." I was trying to persuade you, but you figured it out yourself. Come, I'll toast you! ”
The man went to his table, filled the glass with wine, took the glass and walked to the table, and said, "I made you laugh just now." He said to the whole shop, "It made everyone laugh, too." I deserve this cup to everyone! ”
"Don't say disrespectful, for what you just said, for the new tomorrow, let's all toast together!" The middle-aged uncle said.
"Good!" Everyone in the store stood up, picked up their glasses, and said, "Cheers to a new tomorrow!" ”
Someone poured wine for the boss and the two guys, as well as Mi Xiaolu, and everyone in the barbecue restaurant was immersed in joy and drank the wine.
When Mi Xiaolu drank this glass of wine, his whole body couldn't help but tremble. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and didn't show anything out of the ordinary.
But the joy and 'excitement' in his heart are now erupting like a volcano.
He knew in his heart that he had done all this with his own ability.
In that class this afternoon, he wrote the word "emotion" on a blank piece of paper.
Now, he has confirmed that he has truly gained the ability to control human emotions.
Just now, he tried to control the emotions of this lovelorn man, so that he could turn from sadness to joy. Clearly, he succeeded. And this man conveyed his joyful emotions to everyone present - this was not done by Mi Xiaolu, but naturally.
If I can '' human emotions, I can do almost anything. Mi Xiaolu suddenly realized how powerful his abilities were. But this is not what he cares about the most, he has only one purpose - Hang Yi. If I can use my own ability to make Brother Hang fall in love with me...... God, even if I am only allowed to live for one year, I will be content!
The people at the barbecue restaurant were in a sea of joy, and now the tables are merged. The man who had been drinking heavily at first announced that he would pay for it all tonight, which drew cheers from everyone. And the boss also announced that tonight's food and drinks were discounted, and there was another burst of cheers.
Mi Xiaolu was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, his mood was extremely good at the moment, if it wasn't for the late hour, he really wanted to stay here and drink with them to celebrate. Mi Xiaolu said hello to everyone and left first.
Just a few steps out of the barbecue restaurant, Mi Xiaolu suddenly heard the middle-aged uncle in the store say, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you already want to open it? Why are you crying again? ”
Mi Xiaolu was shocked. He stepped back and looked inside, and found that the man who had fallen out of love had a sad expression again. "I still can't forget her," he said...... When I think of her, my heart aches......"
The people in the store obviously didn't understand why this person's emotions were so volatile, and they were all a little disappointed, and they didn't know what to say.
Standing at the entrance of the store's 'door', Mi Xiaolu was completely stunned.
After a few moments, he understood.
It seems that there is a "range" of my abilities. Maybe it's not just me, it's all 50 of us, and we can only play a role if we are within our ability.
In this case, even if I control Hang Yige's emotions and make him like me, as long as I distance myself from him, it will be invalid. Mi Xiaolu's heart was cold. There's no way I'm going to let him stay by my side for the rest of my life, right?
Just when he was extremely lost, he suddenly remembered what the "old god" had said - each of you is now the weakest level 1 in ability. After that, each level up doubles in power.
If my abilities become stronger, will my ability to control my emotions also increase? Maybe the range of capabilities will also increase?
However, there is only one way to upgrade. Mi Xiaolu thought in horror. Knock out competitors – 49 other people.
No, I only have 48 opponents.
Friday night – or the "first night" – Hang Yi (male No. 12), Lu Jinpeng (male No. 5), Hou 'Bo' (male No. 33), Sun Yuchen (male No. 19), Mi Xiaolu - had already confirmed that he had gained superpowers in various ways. In addition to them, there are more than a dozen people, who have also tried their amazing abilities. In fact, whether you notice it or not, the superpowers of the 50 "contenders" have awakened tonight. F
