Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 43 is the Era of Chaos! Quick! Dehydrate!
Travel schedules are always tight, so as not to miss out on all the fun.

After the visit to Prince Gong's Mansion this morning and Quanjude Restaurant at noon, the next stop is the Bird's Nest acrobatic performance in the afternoon. After the performance, there is the flag-lowering ceremony to watch around 5 or 6 pm.

So, almost half an hour after finishing their meal at Quanjude, the group had already taken the subway and set off.

Chen Baiyu estimated that after the trip ended and her mother and aunt returned to Jiangsu, when she returned to Sichuan to live alone, her pace of life would inevitably slow down a lot, and she would be able to focus more on researching the system and completing tasks.

They might also spare some energy to make a little extra money, doing the main money-making task as a side job.

While thinking.

Around 1:30 pm.

The group then arrived near the Bird's Nest.

The hot air at the subway entrance felt like a wall, blowing in with a scorching wave.

Chen Baiyu looked up.

The sun was blazing, the sky a dazzling blue, without a single cloud. Sunlight reflected off the ground, casting a blinding glow and softening the asphalt, making it seem as if it would melt at any moment.

He strongly suspects that neighboring provinces may have been greedy and fired thousands of rain-bringing shells, thus prematurely silencing the rain clouds that could have spread to many provinces.

After all, this is not without precedent.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.

Firstly, this area is located in the north and doesn't have many large-scale rain clouds; secondly...

This is the far northern capital, the core hub of the central magic empire.

Who's so bold? Pulling out something so spicy it's deadly?
So this heat is nobody's fault but simply a celestial phenomenon.

This is a chaotic era, children! Dehydrate yourselves!
"My God, this sun is too harsh."

"The weather forecast said it would be cloudy today, but there are no clouds at all."

The aunt took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She had only taken a few steps out of the subway exit when her face turned bright red from the sun.

This place is not far from the Bird's Nest, only two or three hundred meters away, but the shade of the trees is scattered for a section of the road, and most of the area is bare, with the ground baked by the sun like a big steamer.

Several tourists wearing sun-protective clothing were slowly moving along the base of the wall, their steps dragging out, clearly intimidated by the scorching sun.

"How about we find a place to rest for a while and wait for the sun to weaken before continuing? But never mind, judging by the time, the juggling show should be starting soon."

Mom frowned, then took the lead and walked out.

The scorching sun isn't a monster; if you really want to be stern, it's actually bearable.

Chen Baiyu remained silent.

I just silently followed.

The sun was indeed a bit hot on his skin, but it was still within his tolerance range, and he didn't even sweat much.

This body now has a very strong ability to regulate its body temperature, as if it has an invisible cooling system built in.

Even the strongest sunlight feels only slightly warm on the skin.

His aunt looked at him with admiration: "It's good to be young, so energetic. Back when I was your age, I could cut rice under the scorching sun without feeling tired..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a gust of hot air and quickly shut her mouth.

Chen Baiyu smiled but didn't reply.

He knew this wasn't a problem of being young.

The question is about being "extraordinary."

This body is using countless subtle changes to tell him that the gap between him and ordinary people is widening.

Even when facing the scorching sun, it's easier.

He looked up at the sun, a sudden sense of anticipation rising within him. If his power level were a billion times higher, could he not only ignore the heat but also dive deep into the sun's core?

While pondering, the group continued walking.

Chen Baiyu walked in the middle, subconsciously leaning closer to her mother and aunt, using her shadow to block some of the sunlight for them.

Although it doesn't have a significant effect, at least it makes them feel less sunburned.

Hot winds swept in, bringing waves of heat, and the bird's nest in the distance became clearer and clearer in the field of vision.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate it; they were just hoping to get inside the stadium and enjoy the air conditioning. They were still dozens of meters away from the Bird's Nest.

A series of urgent shouts pierced the heatwave:

"Holy crap!"

Chen Baiyu looked in the direction of the sound.

There were some boxes piled up in a slightly shadier spot nearby, with the words "Please do not invert props" printed on the outside. They looked rather heavy.

A girl is loading boxes onto a van.

A girl in gray overalls was lifting a large box, about half her height, from the ground and carrying it to a van. However, she clearly didn't hold the box properly, and it suddenly tilted to the side, about to crash to the ground.

The girl gasped and hurriedly tried to help.

However, the weight of the box made him stumble a couple of steps and almost fall.

Chen Baiyu almost instinctively stepped forward and caught the side of the box just as it was about to hit the ground.

It's quite heavy, probably weighing several tens of kilograms. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to lift it with one hand.

But for him, it was like carrying an empty backpack; with just a little effort, he could easily straighten the box.

Before the girl could react, Chen Baiyu turned around and gently pushed the suitcase into the car with one hand, without even a sound.

"Wow!"

"Big brother, you're amazing! This box contains an iron frame; my senior brother and I struggled to lift it together, and you managed to do it with one hand..."

The girl's eyes widened, her high ponytail swayed as she looked up, and beads of sweat on her forehead fell down.

She spoke rapidly, like beans being poured out, her eyes sparkling, with an exaggerated expression typical of anime girls: "Have you trained before? This strength is outrageous! I slipped just now, and I thought I was going to crash, but you were so fast! Is this a once-in-a-lifetime teleport?"

Chen Baiyu smiled and said, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

"You're really good at it even when you're just doing it casually!"

"Here, take this! It's so hot, it'll quench your thirst! We're from the acrobatic troupe next door. If the box had been damaged just now, our performance this afternoon would probably have been canceled. My senior brother will definitely yell at me when he comes back from the bathroom. Thank you so much!"

The girl quickly rummaged through the car and pulled out a few bottles of chilled mineral water, stuffed them into his hands, and handed two more bottles to her mother and aunt standing nearby.

Then, she pointed towards the Bird's Nest, her face still showing a hint of lingering fear: "That iron frame is the counterweight used for tightrope walking; it can't be damaged even a little bit. Brother, you're not only incredibly strong, but your sense of balance is amazing too. When you were carrying the box just now, you were as steady as if you were nailed to the ground, even more stable than the balance beam performers in our troupe!"

Chen Baiyu did not refuse the ice water.

My mom and aunt smiled and thanked me, then unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. The cool water slid down their throats, instantly dispelling a lot of the heat.

"you flatter me."

Chen Baiyu unscrewed his bottle, took a sip, and said.

Knowing he could react quickly enough and wouldn't get hurt, he instinctively reached out to help in that situation.

"Are you here to watch the show, sir?" the girl asked enthusiastically. "If you see anyone wearing my outfit before the show starts, tell me my name, and I might be able to find you a good seat!"

Done.

She pointed to the name tag on her chest.

The sign reads: Xia Meng'an, a member of the Bird's Nest Special Invited Acrobatic Troupe.

"No, we have tickets," Chen Baiyu politely declined. "You go ahead with your work, we'll head over now."

"Okay! Thanks again!"

Xia waved her hand and turned around to move the remaining boxes, but this time she was obviously much more cautious.

Even after we'd walked a bit further, my aunt was still saying, "That little girl is so lively. And you're really strong now."

Chen Baiyu smiled but didn't say anything more.

That move just now was nothing more than basic stuff.

He looked up at the Bird's Nest, which was right in front of him; its metal structure gleamed in the sunlight.

What is hidden inside the bird's nest is the skill and physical ability of ordinary people, while what he possesses at this moment is the extraordinary that even he is slowly exploring.

　As is customary, I'm asking for your votes on Mondays. I hope you'll all support me.
