“This is the herb liquid…”

Feeling that his wisdom was drifting away as he talked to his friends, Shen Zhe hurried and gave the two units of herb liquid to them.

“Thank you, bro!”

“Call me whenever you need anything!”

Liu Pengyue and Wang Xiaofeng were grateful.

Shen Zhe nodded.

The three of them were bad students but loyal friends. They knew that Lu Zihan had beat them up because of him but they didn’t blame him. He appreciated them for that.

“Body polishing is serious. You need to make preparations…” Shen Zhe instructed.

“I’ve informed my family. Forty dogs and thirty bodyguards have been prepared…”

Liu Pengyue laughed confidently.

“Me too. Shen Zhe, to be honest, all the dogs in this city have been bought out by us. Their market price has soared!” said Wang Xiaofeng smartly.

Shen Zhe sweated.

“I made the herb liquid for you to build up your bodies, but why does it feel so weird now?”

To build up the body, buy dogs first. If that’s not enough, bodyguards are required…

“As long as you are fine with it!” Shen Zhe covered his forehead.

With Zhao Chen’s successful example, he knew that it was impossible to polish the body with dogs instead of specific arts.

After they left, Shen Zhe also got out of his room.

He had thought of an idea to illuminate the stars in his body and was eager to try it out.

There was no electricity in that world, but that was not a problem. He had a lot of fun experimenting with electricity in physics classes of his previous life.

The objects needed were simple: lemon, a copper sheet and a zinc sheet.

He didn’t have any of these in his room, so he intended to buy some.

The weather was gloomy outside and it might rain at any moment.

“I need to hurry up…”

He went to a shop where metals and weapons were sold.

There were refining classes in the school and students sometimes went on field trips. So, it wasn’t difficult to buy metals and minerals.

Soon, he purchased a bunch of copper and zinc sheets. Then he had someone forge a copper coil.

Everything was prepared except for the lemon.

Shen Zhe went to a fruit store and soon found what he wanted.

“Shen Zhe, no need to follow me. It was wrong of me to have smeared you… just say what you want, I won’t hesitate whatever you ask me to do!”

Shen Zhe heard the grumbling and saw Cui Xiao standing before the stall gloomily.

“You’re… selling fruits?”

Shen Zhe was stunned.

“I’ve been working here all the time. Did you really not know?”

Cui Xiao clenched his fists, thinking that Shen Zhe was mocking him.

He had to work to cover the daily expenses in school, having been born in a rural family with poor living conditions; he was recently selling fruits.

The students of his class knew about it, if not the entire school. That was why he didn’t dare tell Ling Xueru he loved her.

Shen Zhe had never bought fruits before, but he coincidentally went there on the day Cui Xiao pissed him off. It was definitely on purpose.

“I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding, I only came here to buy lemons. I’ll have all the lemons in your stall…”

Shen Zhe knew that he had been misunderstood, so he smiled after seeing the guy’s hostility.

He had always been a friendly person.

He made peace with Lu Zihan even though Lu Zihan tried to beat him. It was certainly much easier with Cui Xiao.

“All of them?”

Cui Xiao was stunned. “There are hundreds here…”

“Why would he buy hundreds of lemons?”

“Yes, all of them. Deliver them to my dormitory!” Shen Zhe waved his hand.

Lemons could generate electricity but not too much. Fearing that it wasn’t enough to illuminate the stars, he might as well buy more.

“Well…” Seeing that he wasn’t kidding, Cui Xiao nodded and weighed the lemons. “It’s seven taels of silver altogether…”

Shen Zhe gave him the money.

Cui Xiao was rather embarrassed after seeing that Shen Zhe was truly buying his fruits.

The guy was not offended by his insult and even bought his fruits… It was truly a misunderstanding!

It seemed that the good things Shen Zhe talked about were true!

He was a true kindhearted person despite his terrible grades.

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.
