Chapter 144

No matter how much the readers wailed, this chapter still came to an end.

Bai Xuechao raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. He wasn’t surprised that the manga ended like this, but rather that Ji Chuanze had run so far to buy milk tea just to get him the same brand he had bought before. This was something that even he hadn’t expected.

… Didn’t he say he was thirsty, and that anything would do?

Moreover, Bai Xuechao thought to himself, it’s not like he looked for trouble with Ji Chuanze every day, right?

During their partnership this time, he had only slightly, perhaps, deliberately picked on him a few times, was it necessary to be like this? It made him seem like “the pea princess who couldn’t sleep a wink because of a pea under her mattress,” “the boss who would fire an employee for stepping into the office with their left foot first,” delicate, fussy, and petty.

Bai Xuechao didn’t dwell on this for too long.

He closed his eyes, which were a little sore from the high fever, and pinched the Jingming acupoint next to the bridge of his nose a few times, then started browsing the forum.

The Pink Forum was particularly lively this time.

【#Special Ability × Food Chain# #Self-drawn Comic Strip# #Chenfeng CP# Zhou Chenhao × Ling Feng is super sweet, take a bite of my Amway! (Force-feeding) [HOT]】

【Bai Xuechao! Baby, you’re amazing! You’ve rushed to 7th place on the popularity chart!! There are still 7 days left to vote, keep rushing! I want to see my baby in the top 3! (Screaming) [HOT]】

【I’m really impressed, Bai Xuechao, as a supporting character, actually took 20% of the male lead’s personality…】

【Food Chain, I’m liking Axue more and more! Who understands! Super smart, stunningly beautiful, high special ability level, and physically frail, wuwu, this just-right vulnerability, damn it, it’s dancing on my xp! (Dancing wildly) (Cheering)】

【Cold knowledge, Bai Xuechao has only been out for half a month, which includes a week of hiatus, and he’s already in the top 10 of the popularity chart.】

【What kind of new top-tier celebrity is Bai Xuechao on the forum? (Tactical lean back)】

【He, at the age of not even eighteen, has incurred a huge debt of 288.66 million yuan! It’s also him, who, in order to save his friends, had to sell a part of his personality to others in exchange for help! Behind all this, is it the distortion of human nature, or the depravity of morality?! Welcome to— “Special Ability × Food Chain”! [HOT]】

【Zhou Chenhao voluntarily handed over 20% of his personality, haha, I’m going crazy, but I found that there’s nothing I can do, wuwu. (Hugging a robot and crying)】

【BGM starts! (Announcer’s voice) A brother with no money, a sister in distress, a cruel enemy, a broken him. That’s right, I’m talking about today’s Food Chain (.)】

【(Shocked) You guys who follow Food Chain have all lost your minds, haven’t you =A=】

【Liking white-haired characters is my destiny! Yuan Lan is finally getting some screen time, he’s even more handsome than I imagined. How can he be so well-dressed, it’s killing me! (Covering mouth and crying) (You’re so sāo.jpg)】

【Ji Chuanze, the tsundere gray-haired little dog, is so cute! I will always love tsunderes! (Scattering flowers)】

In addition, there was also the prophet analysis post that Bai Xuechao had been following: 【Prophet’s second post, this time I’ll try to analyze #Special…

Bai Xuechao didn’t click into this post immediately, but remained silent for a long time before asking Xiao 6: “…What does all-Xue mean?”

This time, Xiao 6 rarely didn’t encourage Bai Xuechao to click in and take a look. Instead, it lit up a cyber code cigarette, took a long drag, and sighed faintly before saying: “Young man, the water here is very deep, it’s better for you not to know. Don’t be curious, don’t look, you can’t handle it.”

Bai Xuechao: “…”

What on earth was it talking about.

Alright, from Xiao 6’s reaction, he could guess that it meant what he thought it meant.

Bai Xuechao clicked into the prophet analysis post, and at the same time, he said in a low voice: “Even if it’s all, it should be Xue-all.”

Xiao 6 said with pity: “Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?”

Bai Xuechao: “?”

Seeing Bai Xuechao’s expression, Xiao 6’s survival instinct suddenly came online, its CPU was about to burn out: “Your misunderstanding is… you’re underestimating yourself too much! Of course you’re Xue-all!”

It had changed. It was no longer the same it that had argued with Bai Xuechao about the “rise above his superior” issue!

Bai Xuechao couldn’t be bothered to continue bickering with Xiao 6. He drank a few mouthfuls of the water Yuan Lan had poured for him earlier—after finishing the manga, it had cooled to a warm temperature.

After drinking the water, he scrolled the post to the OP’s updated position.

2255L: Squatting for the OP’s update~ (Tapping bowl)

2256L: This is the pseudo-class rep, I’ll only talk about what’s covered in this chapter’s update.

The OP proposed that Bai Xuechao wanted to hold Gong Ting’s life in his hands to get in touch with the Apocalypse Society. Now the leader has come directly, so this point has not been verified yet.

Analyzed a lot of content about Gong Ting and the Apocalypse Society, proposing that Gong Ting wanted to escape the control of the Apocalypse Society. Currently, Gong Ting is in a coma, so this has not yet been verified.

He conducted various analyses on Bai Xuechao, and incidentally analyzed other characters as well. He also analyzed what Bai Xuechao wanted to do with the personality. Currently, what Bai Xuechao wants to do is unknown, but he has indeed obtained the personality. There has been no further action yet, so it has not been verified.

2257L: The number of pages in this update is large, but most of it is about answering questions. The OP probably doesn’t have much to analyze?

2258L: I believe in the OP’s microscope. (Pushing glasses)

2259L: Perhaps we can analyze Bai Xuechao’s attitude towards Xiao Xi?

2260[OP]: I’m here, I’m here! I was just checking some information, so I’m late!

First of all, I want to say, Ling Feng’s family really does have an official background! My previous guess was not wrong! It wasn’t in vain that I spent half a day searching the online library.

Picture above! [Ling Feng’s memory of his grandfather.jpg]

As we all know, our Xia Country’s soldiers now wear photochromic “chameleon” combat uniforms, which change color with the surrounding environment. But I checked, more than a hundred years ago, many of our country’s soldiers wore this kind of green pants. It’s said that because it’s close to the color of the plants on the ground, this color is also called army green. (Suddenly talking about history)

I know some people will definitely say: What, only soldiers can wear this color of pants, can’t ordinary people wear them?

Please look here! [Red circle, inside the circle is a birdcage and a hat hanging on a tree branch in the background.jpg]

Wait for me to take a few screenshots, I’ll post this part first.

Did any of you see it? (Expectantly)

2261L: Ah… I was suddenly info-dumped on. (Scratching head)

2262L: I just said the OP is a microscope! So, what did you see? (Scratching head and smiling foolishly)

2263L: Old men of that era liked to wear sun hats and go for a walk with their birds. (Immediate answer)

2264L: Your sun hat looks like that?

2265L: What the hell is walking the bird hahaha.

2266L: No, I’m serious, I searched it up, fifty years ago, there were still people carrying cages and walking their birds!

As for the sun hat, don’t you think its shape looks like a retro round-brimmed hat! That’s a sun hat!

2267L: Haha, I took this picture to ask my great-grandfather, and I know the answer now! (Dancing with joy) OP’s microscope is awesome!

Hint, focus on the half of the badge that’s showing on the top of the hat!

2268L: You said it’s only half, how are we supposed to see it??

2269L[OP]: I’m back with the screenshots!

[Xia Country Military Badge Centennial Commemorative Edition Multi-angle Picture.jpg]

We all know that the Xia Country’s badge was revised at the beginning of this century, and the military badge was also revised along with it. Because it was more than ninety years ago, basically none of us here have seen the old version from before.

Please look at the 4th picture of the badge, this angle, isn’t it exactly the same as the badge on the hat in my circled picture! Praise me! (Head held high, chest out)

Ling Feng’s grandfather should have been retired by then, but it’s obvious that he still had very close ties with the officials, because I checked that hat and it was a new model at the time. The background of this manga is in the year 5027 of the Xia Calendar, and this hat was only issued in 5023, but Ling Feng’s grandfather must have retired long before that.

Use your little brains and think, under what circumstances would the military send a copy of anything new to his grandfather? Those who know, know. (Pushing glasses)

So Ling Feng’s family background, tsk tsk tsk, is really awesome.

2270L: OP is awesome! You’re not a prophet this time, you’ve become a microscope.

2271L: Since Ling Feng’s family background is starting to be revealed, does that mean the next arc will be Ling Feng’s highlight moment! (Star eyes)

2272L: Replying to the one above, I don’t think so.

2273L: So Ling Feng’s grandfather’s retirement life is to leisurely lie down and bask in the sun and listen to opera every day, and when the weather is good, he wears a sun hat (bushi) and goes out to walk his bird?

2274L: That kind of life is so good, I want it too, yingyingying, when I retire, I’ll just lie at home and bask in the sun every day =w=

2275L: Come on, when you guys retire, you’ll just let yourselves go and race maglev cars, or take your robots to Mars to play in the dirt. I won’t even mention stealing dirt, they’ve been cracking down on that recently. (Dead-fish eyes)

2276L: Hahahaha, why did you have to expose it!!

2277L[OP]: Let’s talk about it in order, the next one should be Bai Xuechao.

Gong Ting let Ling Feng and Bai Xuechao vote on whether to allow players to hold onto the swing with their own strength.

At that time, Ling Feng looked at Bai Xuechao with a pleading expression. For those who don’t remember, I’ve posted the manga here, you can review it. [Manga screenshot.jpg]

I think, here, Bai Xuechao was deliberately trying to gain favorability from Ling Feng.

Some people will definitely ask, isn’t he just teasing Ling Feng?

That’s right, he playfully pretended to vote no to scare Ling Feng, which was meant to tease him, but when Ling Feng was panicking and his heart sank to the bottom, he voted yes.

This is a reversal!

When Ling Feng’s expectations of him were at their lowest, eh, he fulfilled Ling Feng’s expectations and gave Ling Feng a surprise.

He’s playing with the psychological gap.

It’s like on your birthday, no one reacts, as if they’ve forgotten. It’s not until the evening when your birthday is almost over, and your disappointment reaches its peak, that suddenly everyone pops out to give you presents and celebrate together. The sense of satisfaction is doubled!

It’s also very obvious in the manga, Ling Feng looked at Bai Xuechao with gratitude.

2278L: I’m so dizzy from reading this, I’ve learned nothing. I’ll go use this on someone else. (Doge emoji)

2279L: Then you’d better be careful and find someone who is full of martial virtue. Before the psychological gap even reaches its peak, they’ll beat you up just because they feel annoyed. (Doge emoji)

2280L: Hiss, if you put it that way, Axue is so scheming, haha.

2281L: This is just the OP’s analysis, is it also possible that wifey was just simply teasing Maomao?
