Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 193 - 193 5 24 Hours Part 1

193: Chapter 5 24 Hours Part 1 193: Chapter 5 24 Hours Part 1 Facing difficulties, one must not sit and wait for death, nor can the brain shut down.

Think, one must think.

Wisdom and intellect are the greatest distinctions between humans and wild animals.

When a wild boar or dog encounters a perplexing situation it cannot understand, it might scream or attack, whereas humans would utilize a calm mind and strict logic to find the path to the solution.

Gongsun Ce was now seriously pondering in his blankets, attempting to uncover the truth hidden behind the confusing facade.

He had woken up in his own bedroom to find his good friend and neighbor, unflinchingly standing by his bed and even handing him his glasses.

What kind of truth was hidden behind this?

—It was likely an assassination attempt.

Ancient empires had witnessed well-known stories of failed assassinations by individuals who then offered the dagger as a gift to escape.

How similar was this to Qin Qianbai’s behavior!

The young miss, skilled in Martial Arts, could easily take a life with the arm of a pair of glasses.

Everything became clear then: for some unknown reason, Qin Qianbai had murderous intent and had used a spare key given to her previously to sneak into his room and prepare to assassinate him by picking up the glasses!

This was a classic crime of passion.

Had he not awakened in time, he might already be dead.

Gongsun Ce broke out in a cold sweat.

He struggled out from under his blankets and screamed while clutching a pillow, “I am innocent, Madam Qin, why do you seek to kill me?!”

Madam Qin folded her arms and looked at him, “You are a barbarian.”

You, an attempted murderer, are now accusing me of being a barbarian?

Gongsun Ce, clutching his chest in intense pain, exclaimed, “Ce was born in the Central Plains, knowledgeable and reasonable, maintaining great virtues and righteous deeds; how do I deserve the name of a barbarian?”

“Neglecting favors and angering neighbors, abandoning trust and forgetting righteousness, thus you are a barbarian.”

“I, I, I…”

Gongsun Ce was at a loss for words, “Give me a moment to think of the right words—”

“10.”

Start counting down now?!

Gongsun Ce desperately searched through his limited memory of ancient texts, barely managing to think of an appropriate phrase in a hurry, “The purpose of speech is…”

“01.”

“What the hell, binary countdown?!”

“00.

You’ve lost, Ah Ce.”

The consequence of using precious thinking time to complain was losing this absurd competition.

Since when had the competition of conversing in classical Chinese started?

And why would anyone compare this with a nobleborn lady from the empire?

Gongsun Ce, holding his forehead, said in grief and anger, “How have I forsaken trust and forgotten righteousness…”

“It was agreed, within 24 hours to obtain all rights over Ah Ce.”

“The wording there is subtly troubling, Mr.

Gongsun, I agreed to a penalty game, not a servitude contract.”

The young miss raised her phone expressionlessly.

“I notified you via text beforehand, but you exceeded the agreed time, Ah Ce, and did nothing.

Therefore, I came to check if you were alive.”

Don’t phrase it as if I’ve had an accident.

Phone, phone…

Just after waking up, Gongsun Ce couldn’t help yawning and picked up his phone to check.

The latest unread message was received at 7:59.

He confirmed that his alarm was set for exactly eight o’clock, which meant…

“—You barely waited for less than a minute at most!

This isn’t policing anymore; it’s more like fishing with dynamite!!”

Qin Qianbai pondered for a moment.

“Is this, a hint that you want me to pour hot oil over you?”

“Can you not naturally consider cooking me as if I’m a fish?”

And don’t heat the oil so quickly.

Forget the eggs and breadcrumbs, at least cover me with a coat of flour before frying.

“Fresh fried salted fish.”

“I’ve been downgraded from fresh fish to salted fish!?

This is unbearable, such a supernatural scene.

Just waking up and discussing these things with a good neighbor almost made him believe he was still dreaming.”

Gongsun Ce leaned against the headboard, weakly said, “I’ll get up now.

I promise to keep my word and obey you all day…

but could you kindly step out for a while and let Mr.

Gongsun freshen up and change into home clothes?”

“…”

Qin Qianbai sat on a chair, staring at the wardrobe, seemingly hesitant.

“I don’t know what you are thinking, but I hope you don’t assume your thoughts are commands.”

“In that wardrobe, could there be strange books?”

“Nobody hides physical manga anymore in this day and age!”

Yet until now, this fellow still lacked common sense in subtle ways.

·

Twenty minutes later.

“Now, the first command is given.” The young miss sat down at the table, “Ah Ce, make breakfast.”

“I can tell you’re hungry.”

“Try to achieve the standard of an Imperial Chef.”

“Mr.

Gongsun, I am neither a genius graduate of a culinary school nor some eccentric cooking god; no matter how hard I try, I can only manage to fry an egg and toast some bread for you.”

Eggs, bread, bacon, plus a bowl of milk; this was the breakfast Gongsun Ce usually made for himself.

Fortunately, the reserve ingredients in the refrigerator were sufficient.

After verifying the quantity, he made the same portion for the girl, exactly as…
