Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 288: Mirror (Part 1)


At this moment, Chen Shouyi's expression changed, and he immediately reached out to grab his underwear.

The elastic of the underwear had obviously been stretched a bit loose during his transformation, and once he returned to his normal size, it began to slip down.

"When I'm free, I definitely need to buy a few dozen pairs of high-elastic underwear," Chen Shouyi silently noted to himself.

The attack of this giant transformation is terrifying. Although its defense hasn't been tested, it's obviously much better than his normal form. He'll inevitably use this innate ability when encountering danger in the future.

By then, if his clothes get torn, it would be fine; he's a grown man and doesn't really care.

But if even his underwear were to explode...

And if there are still a lot of people around...

Chen Shouyi instinctively shook his head slightly. The image was so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

"I just don't know if these high-elastic underwear are still available for purchase?"

...

He glanced at the already cracked floor beneath his feet and the broken chandelier, sighing slightly.

He found a new pair of underwear and headed for the bathroom.

Once Chen Shouyi disappeared.

The Shell Lady also stopped drinking honey, immediately jumping off the table, running into the bathroom, and squatting at the door, her eyes bright and fixedly watching Chen Shouyi shower.

She just wanted to see if the giant would suddenly grow bigger again.

"Stop watching, go out!" Chen Shouyi felt a little uneasy being scrutinized by the Shell Lady's gaze and waved his hand.

"Good Giant, grow bigger, grow bigger!" the Shell Lady shouted loudly.

Grow bigger, my foot!

"I'm tired today, I'll transform some other time!" Chen Shouyi said helplessly.

The Shell Lady showed a hint of disappointment on her small face. She wanted to see it again; the transformation earlier had given her a strong shock to her soul. The giant suddenly grew so tall, like a mountain.

My Giant is indeed the most powerful giant!

...

After showering, Chen Shouyi changed into his underwear, looked helplessly at the Shell Lady who kept following him.

He walked to the wardrobe, took out a T-shirt, and said:

"I'll be going out later; you stay at home and don't wander around."

"Will you be back by sunrise?" the Shell Lady quickly asked, tilting her head up.

Chen Shouyi estimated in his mind while putting on his T-shirt, feeling that the reservoir wouldn't be finished in a day or two: "Probably after two sunrises and sunsets!"

The Shell Lady's expression quickly fell, becoming somewhat listless: "Can't Little One go with Good Giant?"

"The places I'm going are full of the worst bad giants, very dangerous, and they love eating cute little animals. You're so well-behaved and cute, it would be too dangerous if you went!" Chen Shouyi used his usual tactic to frighten her.

This trick worked best on the Shell Lady, never failing.

Sure enough, the Shell Lady got scared, shrank her neck, and didn't mention going along anymore.

Chen Shouyi comforted her: "I'll prepare honey for you. Remember to eat it when you're hungry, and I'll reward you later."

"Another big gem!" the Shell Lady said.

Hearing the Shell Lady's tone, Chen Shouyi clearly felt that the Crystal Ball no longer held the same appeal for her as before.

It's understandable; no matter how much you like something, too much of it will make you lose interest.

But where can I find glass beads bigger than the Crystal Ball now?

At this moment, his eyes noticed the dressing mirror next to the wardrobe, and he remembered that the Shell Lady often liked to pose in her skirt in front of the mirror.

He had a sudden idea and pointed at the mirror, saying: "It's not a big gem, but I'll reward you with this."

The Shell Lady shivered all over at his words, her small face quickly showing a blush, and she felt dizzy.

She ran quickly to the mirror, hugged the mirror stand, which was clearly quite large for her, and looked back at Chen Shouyi, excitedly saying: "Good Giant, will you give this to me?"

Dream on.

Even if I gave it to you, could you move it?

Moreover, past experiences teach that rewarding with dressing mirrors will soon fill the bedroom with them.

"This is mine. The reward is a smaller one." Chen Shouyi said.

As for how small exactly, that depends on what he can buy.

Then Chen Shouyi didn't bother with the Shell Lady, who was already happily dizzy. He found a small measuring cup four or five centimeters high from the cabinet, washed it in the bathroom, and poured in half a cup of honey, sealing it with cling film.

Next, he prepared a small cup of warm water for her.

When she wants to drink it, she'll mix it herself.

This amount should last her for about three to four days.

...

After settling the Shell Lady, Chen Shouyi bid farewell to his parents and took the troop transport back.

Upon arrival, he found that there were a lot more soldiers, and more heavy weapons had been added, including a dozen rapid-fire artillery and rocket cars using steam cars as platforms.

"A new regiment arrived while you were out," Bai Xiaoling said.

Chen Shouyi nodded, clearly, the prior appearance of the Fierce Beast had raised the danger level of this place.

...

As night was falling, the gas lamps hung down the edge of the reservoir lit up the bottom brightly.

Chen Shouyi removed his mask and took a breath, feeling the stuffy heat cooling down slightly with a hint of coolness.

If you ignored the stench of sewage and the thick smell of blood in the air, it wasn't too unbearable.

He unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water, preparing to take a sip.

Then he heard a series of loud shouts in the distance, as if some danger had occurred.

Soon, the flames from a flamethrower swept back and forth like a long dragon.

"Boom..."

Numerous gasoline incendiary bullets were fired into the sewage, igniting a fierce blaze.

Countless mysterious creatures struggled violently in the sewage, emitting shrill wails. A gigantic being, five to six meters long and resembling a lizard, was engulfed in flames, running around blindly like a headless fly.

Soon, its movements slowed, and it collapsed into the sewage.

Why is there so much commotion?

Chen Shouyi was baffled, momentarily forgetting to drink his water.

Then he heard a buzzing sound. He replaced the cap and followed the sound quickly.

The noise grew louder, resembling the amplified sound of a bee's flight tenfold.

Before long, he saw a bug flying rapidly toward him in the air.

He leaped three meters high and grabbed the bug mid-air with his fingers, holding it between his thumb and forefinger.

It was a flat-winged bug with a colorful body. After being caught by Chen Shouyi, it struggled continuously, trying to attack with a purple stinger on its mouth.

Xue Youcheng and Lin Jingyi hurried over; Lin Jingyi glanced at it and felt a chill, quickly saying:

"General Manager Chen, this bug may be poisonous!"

Chen Shouyi nodded, flicked the bug to the ground, and before it could fly up again, he crushed it with his foot.

This reservoir has more hidden dangers than expected. If these bugs are allowed to spread and breed, it could be a disaster no less severe than parasites.

Chen Shouyi searched around, and the only relief he found was that there was nothing else discovered.
