Chapter 30 (2/2)

After delivering the lemons, Cui Xiao looked at him and said, “Do you need my help?”

He didn’t have much to do since most of the fruits were sold out.

“This is too much work for me to finish alone. I’ll pay you if you can give me a hand!”

Knowing what he meant, Shen Zhe smiled and asked Cui Xiao to cut the lemons and connect them with copper wire.

It was an enormous project that took four hours to complete.

“Let’s begin…”

Shen Zhe was about to reach for the electrodes and try illuminating the stars with electricity, but he stopped and looked at Cui Xiao. “Why don’t you seize the two ends?”

Lemons in that world were bigger and more acidic because of spiritual energy. It went without saying that the electricity they generated was greater.

For safety reasons, he’d better let Cui Xiao try it first.

Cui Xiao had illuminated seven stars. His resistance should be better than Shen Zhe’s.

“These?”

Cui Xiao grabbed one electrode in each hand and asked, “What about them?”

“Do you feel numb?” Shen Zhe looked at him nervously.

The afternoon would have been a waste of time if Cui Xiao didn’t feel numb at all.

“No!”

Cui Xiao shook his head.

“No?” Shen Zhe frowned. “Well… Try putting the two wires on your tongue…”

“On my tongue?”

Cui Xiao didn’t know what Shen Zhe wanted to do, but since the guy was so kind, he didn’t hesitate much and simply placed the copper wires in his mouth.

Zi! Zi! Zi!

He cramped uncontrollably.

“How about it?”

Shen Zhe looked at him nervously.

“Numb… Numb…” Cui Xiao trembled.

“It seems that the electricity is enough to make him feel numb, but is it enough to illuminate the stars?”

Shen Zhe rubbed his hands anxiously and stood up, hesitating.

Illuminating stars with electricity was just an idea. He didn’t know if it could work.

Now that he had electricity, he could try it…

The question remained… How?

Attracting the electricity into his mouth, like Cui Xiao did?

That was a good way, but what if he was too numb to illuminate the stars?

Should he prepare other things?

Holding his chin, Shen Zhe was deep in thought.

“Numb! Numb!”

Cui Xiao looked desperate with smoke popping up from his mouth while Shen Zhe was too focused to think about helping.

Shen Zhe finally came back to himself and hurried to pull the copper wires out.

Cui Xiao finally stopped trembling. He was pale and almost crying.

He had just thought that Shen Zhe was a good guy, and still the guy made him feel so miserable. Was it on purpose?

“How did you feel?” Shen Zhe asked.

“I was numb. My body was beyond my control…”

Cui Xiao finally recovered after a long time. He didn’t look too good.

He didn’t know what electricity was. Naturally, he couldn’t understand the power in the copper wire.

“Numb is good. It means that there’s a lot of electricity…”

Relieved, Shen Zhe gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll just try it…”

There was electricity and Cui Xiao was not killed. So, he might as well have a try.

How could one earn anything without taking risks?

To polish his body, Zhao Chen was not scared of dogs and bodyguards. Was electric shock really a big deal?

It’s nothing!

I can definitely take it!

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhe used two new wires and placed them in his mouth.

Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!

Electric currents flooded into him.

Shen Zhe’s eyes immediately turned white, like those of a stranded fish.
