Chapter 6: The Cake
Chen Mu lay flat, taking a few minutes to rest before getting up and heading towards the desk.
The cake was right there on the side, its transparent packaging revealing the opening. It was obvious that Du Jiajia didn't bother resealing it, probably to sneak a bite later.
It was an apple-flavored cake, mixed with a bit of cream, and the aroma was rich. What got everyone excited was the absurdly huge size of the cake, like a whole building that couldn't be hugged by dozens of people.
Chen Mu didn't hesitate and grabbed two handfuls, stuffing them into his mouth.
Since yesterday noon, they hadn't eaten anything at all.
Teenagers in their early teens can't endure hunger well.
The texture was a bit rough, but the sweet taste instantly aroused Chen Mu's appetite. However, he restrained himself and only filled his hunger a little before stopping.
He still had to climb down later, and overeating would be harmful.
After resting a while longer, he spread his arms and forcefully tore off a big piece from the whole cake. Holding this half-person-sized piece, he walked to the edge of the desk.
Looking down, the crowd had become tiny figures.
Chen Mu leaned out and made some gestures.
The distance was too far; shouting wouldn't work.
Tang Jing understood his intention right away and said, "Everyone, spread out, he's going to throw down the cake."
"Throw it down?!" someone exclaimed.
"Come on, he can't climb down while holding the cake. And besides, how much can he carry?" someone explained.
"Oh, I see."
Everyone scattered.
Chen Mu pushed the cake to the edge, then lay down flat and used his feet to push it gently. If he tried to use his hands while standing, he was afraid he'd fall due to inertia.
The massive cake descended from the sky.
Although it was just a small piece, from the perspective of the people below, it was like a meteor falling from the sky. Of course, the cake was soft, so it didn't make much noise when it landed.
Plop!
The cake landed and rolled a few times.
Smelling the aroma, some couldn't help but step forward.
With such a huge piece of cake, they could eat to their heart's content.
Tang Jing called out, "Wait, don't go yet."
Everyone was puzzled, "Why?"
Tang Jing explained, "I'm sure there's more."
As expected, not long after, Chen Mu peeked below and threw down another giant piece of cake.
Tang Jing nodded, "With reduced weight, gravitational potential energy decreases as well. If the strength of our bones and muscles remains the same, falling from the same proportion of height would cause much less harm. Even if it looks as high as dozens of floors, it may not necessarily be fatal. However, even if it's not fatal, getting injured or disabled from the fall is as good as waiting for death at a time like this. Besides, the human body is a fascinating structure. Some people can fall from three or four floors without a scratch, while others can die from just two steps of a staircase... Who would dare to bet on something like that?"
Chen Mu was completely focused on climbing down and had no idea what was happening below.
As the saying goes, it's easier to climb up the mountain than to climb down. He had come to realize this deeply. It took him a whole hour before Chen Mu safely returned.
The cake cushion had not been needed.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Wei Dalei and a few others came up to him.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just need a rest." Chen Mu was quite exhausted, waved his hand, and chuckled while catching his breath, "Is the cake delicious?"
"We couldn't eat it without you coming down."
"Don't worry about me, go ahead and eat."
Seeing that he was okay, Dong Junwei and the others finally felt at ease and started to eat the cake.
After resting for a while, Chen Mu also approached.
The fragrant cake with cream in the middle was not too dirty. Everyone held it with their hands and kept feeding themselves. Some even used cream to smear on their classmates' faces, making it feel like a birthday party.
Laughter and joy filled the air for a while.
Only when the satisfaction brought by the food set in did the gloom of the apocalypse dissipate slightly.
At this point, Chen Mu no longer controlled himself and kept eating until he was full.
To be honest, eating too much cake wasn't comfortable at all, nowhere near as satisfying and fulfilling as having rice and vegetables. But in this environment, there wasn't much to fuss about; you just had to stuff yourself and worry about the next meal later. Who knew when the next meal would come in a situation like this?
As his strength recovered, Chen Mu felt a strange sensation in his head, as if it were gradually filling up.
It was an odd feeling.
His head felt swollen, but there was no discomfort. Instead, it was incredibly comfortable.
His mind raced, as if he understood something.
The weapon in his hand suddenly transformed into a long stick. Then, he controlled it to gradually grow longer, and as it lengthened, the stick became thinner. Just when the iron stick was about to turn into an iron wire, Chen Mu felt that it had reached its limit, so he immediately retracted it while he still had control.
The original paperclip had gone through several transformations and was now unrecognizable.
Chen Mu put away his "weapon" and transformed it into a circular ring, which he wore around his waist, pretending it was a belt for easy carrying.
Clearly, both his control and mental power had increased.
He thought about it and realized that it might be because of the mental power overdraft when he climbed the table just now.
But it wasn't difficult to understand.
Special abilities were also a kind of power; with more practice, there would naturally be progress. It's like running, constantly testing one's limits, the best way to train physical fitness.
It seems that in the future, during free time, he should practice more.
