Chapter 10: Flour

Muzi Xu is merely an executor

Wu Haotian was spoiled since childhood, relying on his parents' power to act arrogantly and domineeringly. In his subconscious, he undoubtedly believes himself to be a natural-born strongman, favored by the goddess of fortune from the moment he left the womb, destined to possess a sense of superiority over others.

When a particle of flour burns, nearby particles can also be ignited rapidly, leading to an explosive expansion that creates a highly damaging dust flow

Fang Cao stared at Mu Zixu for a few seconds, as if assessing the truthfulness of his words

"A lighter?" Fang Cao looked astonished. "Muzi, do you smoke?"

Before entering the warehouse, Mu Zixu had already prepared a lighter in his pocket. During the brawl, he deliberately approached the pile of flour, using the force of the scuffle to scatter the flour into the air. Then, Mu Zixu intentionally launched a sneak attack on Wu Haotian, and as a result of being kicked, he was thrown out of the window.

However, these perceived shortcomings in the eyes of others are, in Mu Zixu's view, the most valuable functions

Dear, how much money does Fang Cao have in total? After paying for the hospitalization fee, isn't it...

All details, of course, were meticulously deduced and calculated by Mu Zixu multiple times, and only after confirming their accuracy did he begin execution

Muzi asked excitedly: "Game of Changing Fate?"

Three days later, Mu Zixu, with a cast on his arm and bandages wrapped around his head, completed the final step of his high-stakes task—sending Fang Cao onto the train back to his hometown

When Mu Zixu stepped out of the car at www.hetushu.com, his mobile phone rang with a text message, notifying him of a new deposit of 20,000 yuan.

For Mu Zixu, although he knows that as long as he executes tasks according to his boss's requirements, he can earn a substantial reward while also punishing evil and upholding justice to realize his own value, he still harbors a great curiosity about his boss's identity

Muzi slightly furrowed her brow

Secondly, starting from the recent incident involving Wu Haotian, Mu Zixu clearly felt a difference in his approach to executing tasks compared to before. Previously, the boss would specifically indicate what needed to be done and how to do it, but this time, the boss had begun to allow him to think independently and design the plan himself

First, he roughly understood why the boss did not personally participate in the execution of actions, but instead preferred to manipulate the players to complete them. The reason is simple: being an outsider allows him to remotely control various aspects and manage multiple individuals simultaneously to undertake different tasks. To put it metaphorically, the boss is like a general in a war; he does not personally wield a sword to slay the enemy, but from behind the scenes, he orchestrates the outcome of the entire battle.

Fire is a remarkable element that can transform many ordinary objects into exceptionally lethal weapons, such as...

The main component of flour is starch, which is a carbohydrate formed by linked sugar molecules. Sugar molecules are highly flammable, so when flour is suspended in the air in dust form, it becomes extremely combustible and explosive

I do not smoke, but I enjoy collecting lighters, especially those that cost one yuan each. Mu Zixu said with a meaningful smile

Rudimentary, fragile, explosive, with low safety; for most people, this cheap plastic lighter has far too many disadvantages

At the outset, he deliberately postponed the scheduled time for the challenge by one day, with the aim of making these preparations in advance

... ...

... ...

"Hehe, I was just joking with you," Mu Zixu said with a smile. "If you really feel that you owe me something, then... could you buy me a lighter?"

Do you really want to thank me?" Mu Zixu said with a smile

Watching the train carrying Fang Cao swiftly disappear from view, Mu Zixu played with the lighter in his hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.

Fang Cao nodded and said with a serious expression: "Muzi, the boss has helped me so much; how could I possibly betray him?"

Of course! Muzi, please tell me what I can do?

Upon careful consideration of the boss's caution, even if I were to persuade Fang Cao with my eloquence to reveal all her secrets, it would ultimately be of little significance. This is because it can be inferred from Fang Cao's words that she entered the game around the same time as I did, and the boss would not allow a newcomer to gain access to more information.

What Muzi Xu did was to rewrite his fate, making him pay the price for the wrongdoings he had committed

According to the typical storyline, the usual ending of a hero saving a damsel in distress is that the beautiful woman offers herself in gratitude, right? Mu Zixu gazed at Fang Cao with a mischievous smile

The boss also said not to attempt to understand him, nor to try to investigate the ins and outs of this game. So... Muzi, I am truly sorry. Fang Cao saw Muzi's frown and thought he was blaming him, so he lowered his head and said softly.

Flour

Then she sighed and said apologetically: "Muzi, if you are not the boss, then I really cannot tell you, I am sorry... The boss has said that participating in this game means following the rules of the game"

Mu Zixu enjoys the feeling of being regarded as a fool or a madman when engaging in battles, because those who love to watch the excitement become his unwitting witnesses. They can effectively demonstrate that Mu Zixu is a marginalized group, a victim, and that this explosion was purely accidental

Losing a leg in an explosion, a man who was once a seventh-degree black belt in judo has now become disabled, and for the rest of his life, he will have to rely on crutches or a wheelchair to live

Fang Cao bit his lip, staring at Mu Zixu for a full ten seconds. It was only when Mu Zixu began to feel embarrassed that Fang Cao suddenly pointed at him and laughed, saying: "I understand now, Brother Mu Zi, this is a test, isn't it? The boss has said that one should never reveal information to anyone... Brother Mu Zi, you must be testing me, right?"

Finally, regarding Fang Cao, Mu Zi Xu speculates that this should be a deliberate move arranged by the boss. She is using Fang Cao to convey a portion of the game's insider information to herself, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the entire game's flow and framework. In simple terms, it is merely to satisfy her curiosity

Fang Cao lowered her head in embarrassment, her pretty face flushed with a deep red

Currently, the game of changing fate through the Muzi sequence, as well as the boss's understanding, has added two new points:

She has now left Binzhou, which is sufficient to prove one point: that the boss's influence is not limited to this city

Is this considered a welfare policy? Mu Zixu couldn't help but smile wryly. ... He did not ...

However, Muzi, you have been hurt like this in order to avenge me... I really don't know how to thank you.

With this thought in mind, he quickly took out his phone to call Fang Cao. However, Fang Cao informed him that the money was not provided by her, but by the boss. Settling the hospitalization fee for Mu Zixu was her last task before leaving Binzhou

Only about 50 grams of dust need to be mixed into each cubic meter of air to ignite. Additionally, since flour particles are extremely fine, they can ignite almost instantaneously

Wu Haotian's fate has been successfully rewritten

On the third day after Fang Cao's departure, Mu Zixu's injury had nearly healed. The numbers on the hospital bill made him feel a pang of pain, so he informed the nurse that he wanted to go through the discharge procedures. However, the nurse told him that his hospital fees had already been paid by someone, and that person was Fang Cao.

Therefore, this matter should be left as it is

It's nothing. Don't forget that I am also a part of this game, and I completely understand. Mu Zixu said with a generous smile

The energy of the boss of hetushu.com seems to be much stronger than one might imagine

Sometimes, Mu Zixu felt that they were not human at all, but rather gods—hidden in the dark corners of the stone forest, balancing good and evil, and governing life and death

This is indeed a suicide mission, but it is not Mu Zixu who is to commit suicide, rather it is Wu Haotian

Certainly, in the planning of this event, the boss played a decisive role; it was not Mu Zixu who was truly orchestrating everything, but rather the boss.

What kind of people are they, or rather, what kind of group are they?

It is precisely because it is explosive and fragile that it is more likely to produce sparks

Fang Cao, could you tell me how you became acquainted with your boss? Could you share the entire process of your communication?

At that time, amidst the chaos of war and the swirling dust, no one noticed Mu Zixu throwing the lighter; even if someone had seen it, they would have been unable to provide any conclusive evidence

Looking at the string of zeros in his account balance, he felt a sense of excitement as if he were in a dream

Muzi Xu let out a bitter laugh: "No. I really am not the boss!"

Moreover, he thought that after this incident, Fang Cao would likely have become a loyal player of this game.

But at the moment his body was thrown out, he forcefully smashed the lighter he was holding onto Wu Haotian's feet. The plastic casing of the lighter was very fragile, and upon colliding with the hard concrete ground, it shattered into pieces, ... sparks flew, and then ...

Before departing, Fang Cao truly gifted Mu Zi Xu a lighter, the kind that costs one yuan each
