Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life
Chapter 103 I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now!
Chapter 103 I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now!
The midday sun poured down generously, immersing the entire city in a near-transparent, dazzling brightness.
Chen Baiyu leaned back on the somewhat worn leather back seat of the taxi.
Even if the windows are closed in a car with the air conditioning on.
The hot air, a mixture of car exhaust, the scorching smell of asphalt, and the faint aroma of food wafting from some restaurant, still seeped into the car through the cracks.
It carries the lazy, bustling energy unique to summer.
It's Sunday, the sixth day since I left Suining for Jiujiang.
Around 12:30 pm.
Chen Baiyu was already sitting in a taxi on the way from the train station to Jinxiuyuan residential area.
After completing his experiments and explorations last night, he ran the "Senluo Visualization Method" for a while until he felt refreshed before stopping.
During this time, he tried to comprehend more spells, but after staring at the visualized sun for a long time, he didn't gain anything new except for increasing his magic power limit a little more.
Perhaps he wasn't smart enough, so he wasn't in a hurry to finish the job in one fell swoop.
Considering that the job change quest has ended.
He has already said goodbye to the film crew.
So he didn't stay in Lushan any longer, but instead traveled day and night until now.
He got off the plane at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport before 11:30.
Then I took a train to Suining.
Finally, I took a taxi home.
Looking at the familiar streets around him, Chen Baiyu was preparing to try out the Senluo Visualization Method under such a restless and unstable environment.
The driver slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
The engine emitted a dull, rhythmic hum, accompanied by the strained noise of the car's air conditioning.
Chen Baiyu turned her head slightly and looked out the window.
The driver was calling a young man wearing headphones to get in the car.
As soon as he got in the car, he sat in the passenger seat, casually propped his phone up on the air vent holder, and opened a short video app.
The screen flickered with light and shadow.
Various background music tracks and narration were mixed together, and the sound came through the headphones in a choppy manner.
Chen Baiyu didn't pay attention.
Although I don't really like carpooling, I've never asked to have a car all to myself.
So he just glanced at it casually and then continued to close his eyes and try to visualize the sun.
On his way back, he tried to visualize while not in a state of mental focus during exercise.
But it is almost impossible to succeed.
Even a fleeting moment of success can end in the next second.
Because visualization requires complete concentration to comprehend and contemplate, at most one must leave a sliver of mind to maintain basic vigilance in the external world.
However, Chen Baiyu continued to try.
A moment of success can lead to continued success; perhaps he's just not quite there yet.
So he chose to practice his skill level.
But not long after, his keen hearing picked up a familiar melody coming from his headphones.
That was the background music used in the official promotional video for the Suining Marathon.
Immediately afterwards, an excited commentary came through the earpiece: "That's right! This is Chen Baiyu, the champion of this Suining Marathon! Two hours, twenty-nine minutes, and seventeen seconds! This time is simply godlike among completely amateur runners!"
Chen Baiyu's visualization was interrupted.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
He subconsciously sparsed a sliver of his consciousness and silently peered at the phone screen in the passenger seat.
On the screen was a montage of his marathon race.
In the picture, his steps are steady and swift, with enthusiastic audiences and fluttering colorful flags in the background.
The subtitles below the video displayed his score and pace, while the live chat was flooded with comments:
This speed is outrageous!
It's alright, as long as there are legs, it's fine!
[That's definitely good enough for the average person.]
Wait, I think I've seen him in an official video from a circus troupe called Star Orbit!
The young man, curious after seeing the last comment, clicked on the comments section and then typed "Star Trail Acrobatics Troupe" into the search bar.
Soon, a video appeared in the search results.
It's the segment where Chen Baiyu participated in the acrobatic troupe's performance as an audience member at the Bird's Nest. (From the video.)
He easily completed several difficult moves, eliciting gasps from the audience.
The barrage of comments refreshed the screen again:
[A shill! Absolutely a shill!]
Is this the legendary hidden master?
I could do it too!
[Marathon champion + acrobatic master, just how many other skills does this guy have?]
[Don't be fooled by the hype, this is genuinely strong!]
The young man raised an eyebrow in surprise after watching the video, without making any exaggerated expressions.
After all, this is the comment section of Douyin (TikTok).
If you're a dragon, you have to coil up; if you're a tiger, you have to lie low.
In reality, this might be considered impressive, but here it just means there's still a lot of practice needed.
But even though I think so.
The young man still gave it a like before swiping away.
Chen Baiyu watched the entire process with her divine sense.
I couldn't help but start thinking about it.
He never expected to become famous without even realizing it, but this level of popularity should be insignificant to him, since everyone's attention will be drawn to new hot topics in a few days anyway.
Even if it continues to be popular.
No one would think his behavior was inhuman.
He only knows that once his newly filmed short drama is released, it will probably become even more popular.
The question now is whether to capitalize on this trend and create some self-media accounts to make some money.
Now that he's changed jobs, Chen Baiyu feels he's gradually become bolder and less worried about whether someone will scrutinize the details in his outdoor videos and discover that he's not as simple as he seems.
After all, he had become a mage.
They felt more confident.
While thinking.
The taxi continued on its way and soon arrived near the Jinxiuyuan residential area.
"The one from Jinxiuyuan? You're from the South Gate, right?"
The taxi driver suddenly spoke up.
"Okay, just stop at the south gate."
Chen Baiyu stopped thinking about it and said to the driver.
He then took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay.
His magnetic voice caught the young man's attention, and the young man subconsciously looked up.
However, the young man was stunned when he saw Chen Baiyu's face.
He opened his mouth.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't get the words out.
He immediately looked down and scrolled up a few videos before quickly swiping back to the marathon videos.
He then looked down at it twice.
He looked up again.
The look in his eyes changed from doubt to certainty.
He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated to speak because they didn't know each other: "Huh? You're not that Chen... Chen..."
If it's online.
He would say without hesitation, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now!"
But this is reality.
The young man stammered for a long time before finally managing to say it.
Chen Baiyu smiled at him.
They didn't say anything.
He simply opened the car door, got out, and then gently closed it again.
Then, he turned and walked away into the distance.
The sunlight cast a long shadow behind him.
It seemed to foreshadow that this ordinary afternoon would become a wonderful experience that young people would later boast about to their friends.
