Chapter 70 Reflection
Back at the hotel, Lin Tian sat on the bed and let out a long sigh.
Lin Tian looked down at his left chest. The bloodstains on the white T-shirt had been washed clean by him, but some faint red marks could still be seen.
Within this pool of bloodstains, there was a hole the size of a little finger on the white T-shirt.
That was exactly where the bullet had struck.
Reaching out, he gently touched the hole in the shirt, Lin Tian remained silent.
"Have I been too arrogant?" Lin Tian mumbled to himself as he looked down. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The gunshot today had given Lin Tian a great shock.
If he hadn't snapped back to reality in time, if he hadn't tensed up his muscles, that bullet might have really penetrated his heart.
He could have died!
He wasn't invincible after all. It was fine facing a single gun today, but what if he had to face seven or eight guns, or a machine gun firing at him?
At this thought, Lin Tian shuddered.
"Huff!" Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly started to think, trying to get his thoughts in order.
Everything that happened today was because of Wu Fei.
And why Wu Fei would want to kill him, setting aside Wu Fei's own reasons and thinking about himself...
Thinking of himself, Lin Tian recalled the scene where he had forced Wu Fei to apologize in the street.
Perhaps to Wu Fei, that was an unbearable humiliation, a vengeance that had to be avenged, hence today's incident.
Then, had he done something wrong?
Lin Tian shook his head slightly; that was indeed what he had thought and done at the time. And all his confidence came from the Supernatural Ability System.
"Supernatural Ability System..." Thinking of this, Lin Tian murmured to himself.
Today's shooting made Lin Tian realize that having the Supernatural Ability System did not make him invincible.
In the past, Lin Tian had thought that with the Supernatural Ability System, he could do whatever he wanted, indulge in his emotions and grudges, because he had the miraculous Supernatural Ability System.
The Supernatural Ability System was indeed miraculous, but today's incident had told Lin Tian very realistically that even with the Supernatural Ability System, he was not invincible.
At least not now.
"Should it be like before?" A hint of confusion flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
What was it like before?
When his teachers called him trash, he dared not talk back; when local hooligans beat him, he didn't dare to retaliate; when he saw someone bullying the weak, he could only watch, not daring to step forward!
Should everything go back to the way it was before?
A hint of confusion flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
After a moment of bewilderment, Lin Tian took a deep breath, his eyes gaining a bit of determination, "No! If it's still the same as before, I might as well be dead. Gaining the Supernatural Ability System and still being useless is even worse than an ordinary person!"
Lin Tian's eyes were very determined. But at the same time, today's lesson told him that when he was not very powerful, he should not be too arrogant.
Because being too cocky is asking for death!
Lin Tian thought of his parents, his relatives, thought of He Qianqian, thought of Bu Mengting.
If he caused too much trouble outside and they couldn't deal with him, what if they targeted these people?
The thought made Lin Tian shiver!
No! He absolutely would not allow that to happen. Because if it did, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, "I must eliminate this possibility!"
With that thought, Lin Tian quickly opened the Supernatural Ability menu, searching through it.
After a quick search,
Lin Tian closed the Supernatural Ability menu somewhat disappointed.
It wasn't there!
The Supernatural Ability menu had no abilities that he was looking for.
Lin Tian had actually memorized the 20 abilities listed there long ago, and had only opened it just now hoping against hope.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But it wasn't there.
"It's not there..." Lin Tian pondered in silence, then his eyes slightly brightened as he murmured, "If it's not there, then I'll create one myself!"
Lin Tian remembered clearly that after the Supernatural Ability System upgraded, a new function was added: he could create a superpower he wanted by spending ten Supernatural Points.
"I must have this superpower!" Lin Tian's eyes were very determined.
Having this superpower could prevent those tragic incidents from happening to his friends and family.
This was a superpower Lin Tian had to obtain!
With this in mind, Lin Tian once again immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness.
In the Sea of Consciousness, gazing at two golden beans that floated gently like Supernatural Points, Lin Tian silently thought, "Two Supernatural Points! I still need to accumulate eight more."
Having used a Supernatural Point on a Level 0 Healing Water because of the gunshot, Lin Tian had only two Supernatural Points left now.
After a bit of contemplation, Lin Tian opened his eyes, stood up, and let out a sigh, his eyes returning to calmness.
He had decided that in the future, he could tone down his arrogance on some unnecessary matters. But this didn't mean he was scared; if trouble came, Lin Tian would still act without hesitation.
Lin Tian, a name with a destiny in itself, his very nature prevented him from being a silent man!
Strike when it's time to strike!
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Tian suddenly remembered something, that is, whether he had been too complacent about Wu Bin.
At that time, he had thought Wu Bin wouldn't do anything to him, wouldn't seek revenge. But could the father of a son like Wu Fei actually be a pleasant person to deal with?
As he thought about it, Lin Tianyi was startled. He felt he had been too careless.
If Wu Bin were to seek revenge on him, it wouldn't be as simple as with Wu Fei.
There would definitely be a meticulous plan, and if Wu Bin made his move, he really might end up dead.
At the thought, Lin Tian broke out in a cold sweat.
After pondering for a while, Lin Tian went invisible and quietly opened his room door…
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the invisible Lin Tian returned to his room once again.
Through observation while invisible, although he didn't know why, Lin Tian had confirmed that Wu Bin really had no intention of taking revenge on him.
And this answer let Lin Tian breathe a sigh of relief.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next day, Lin Tian packed up and took a taxi to the airport.
Sitting in the back seat of the cab, Lin Tian made a call to Bu Mengting, "Mengting, I'm about to get on the plane, I should arrive around two in the afternoon."
"Really? That's great!" A voice filled with surprise came from the phone.
"What about you? Miss me?" Lin Tian chuckled.
"Miss you? Not at all!" Bu Mengting snorted.
"Not yet! You must be lying to me! Besides, you look really cute right now!" Lin Tian chuckled again.
"What?" Bu Mengting asked somewhat puzzled.
"Right now, you're probably curving your lips upward, pouting, with an unhappy expression, but your eyes are brimming with laughter," Lin Tian chuckled and said.
"Ah? How do you know?" Bu Mengting asked in surprise, looking around.
"Because I know your heart! Our hearts are connected!" Lin Tian chuckled.
Bu Mengting paused for a moment, then disdainfully said, "Pfft! Whatever!"
"Don't believe me, huh? That's so sad. And to think I was missing you so much last night that I couldn't sleep!" Lin Tian leaned back in the seat, speaking leisurely.
"Really?" Bu Mengting's voice came through the phone, laced with a hint of gleeful disbelief.
"Of course!" Lin Tian shamelessly affirmed. In reality, he had slept like a log the previous night.
"Oh, here it is!" Suddenly, Bu Mengting's voice came through the phone again; she seemed to be talking to someone else.
After a moment, she returned to the line, "Alright, I can't talk anymore, my mom is calling me. We'll chat later."
"Oh! Okay!" Lin Tian replied with a smile and hung up the phone.
Seeing Lin Tian end the call, the driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Young man, was that your girlfriend? She has a sweet voice, seems like a beauty!"
"Indeed!" Lin Tian replied somewhat proudly, smiling slightly, "She's the school beauty of our campus. So many people are after her!"
"Then you've got some skills, landing her like that!" The driver glanced at Lin Tian with a bit of envy.
"It's alright. Actually, she was the one who approached me. Can't help it, being handsome is just so charming!" Saying this, Lin Tian flipped his hair with a self-admiring look on his face.
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the driver's mouth twitched slightly in speechlessness.
But that wasn't the end of it. After a brief silence, the driver noticed that Lin Tian had made another call.
"Hello? Qianqian?"
"Yeah, take care of yourself. I'll come to see you after a while. No, I'm going to come! Alright then, kiss me! Mm, that's more like it! Bye bye!" Lin Tian smiled as he hung up the phone.
The driver glanced at Lin Tian curiously and asked oddly, "And who might that be?"
"That's my main wife, the earlier one is my mistress!" Lin Tian chuckled.
"Um..." The driver was taken aback, his expression a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Inwardly, he complained:
Damn!
I'm nearly 28 and don't have a girlfriend yet, and this kid is two-timing with two girls, talking about main and mistress!
Is there no justice in life!
After letting off some steam internally, the driver remembered something and asked curiously, "The girl you called just now sounded older than you!"
Upon hearing her voice, the driver could tell that He Qianqian was not a teenage girl.
"Oh, my main wife is 26 today. She's 7 years older than me!"
"..." The driver fell silent at the response.
Damn, the kid isn't picky at all!
Lin Tian hadn't finished his tale and nonchalantly continued, "My wife is a teacher; she has many admirers in school as well – she's my goddess!"
"..." The driver fell silent again, feeling somewhat numb.
Damn!
He even managed to win over a teacher!
He's out of this world!
After a pause, the driver asked somewhat baffled, "Young man, share your seduction secrets with me, my future happiness depends on you!"
"Ah?" Lin Tian looked baffled, as if he might have bluffed a bit too much?
...
Half an hour later, with the driver's reluctant gaze upon him, Lin Tian decisively opened the car door and walked quickly towards the airport.
Lin Tian regretted his earlier boasting; he was truly annoyed by the man's nagging.
Watching Lin Tian walk away quickly without looking back. The driver envied, "Damn! This kid's got two gorgeous women, why don't I have even one!"
