Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 66: Water Tank Completed

Although Du Jiajia was quite satisfied with her identity as the team's head chef, she couldn't help but complain to Zhao Xiaoyan and others about not awakening any special abilities.

She often vacillated between wanting to awaken her powers quickly and fearing that the abilities she might awaken would be useless anyway.

Strictly speaking, the term "awakening" is not entirely accurate.

According to Chen Mu and others' speculation, it is highly likely that all humans currently possess some form of special abilities.

However, many people have yet to realize this fact.

Take Chang Junyan, for example, who would have thought that having a lump on his body could be considered a superpower? If it weren't for the fact that this guy's way of thinking was already eccentric, most others probably wouldn't have even realized it, and even if they did, they probably couldn't accept it.

Du Jiajia was worried about this point. If she were to discover that she had such a quirky ability, she might prefer to never know about it.

Moreover, from a logical standpoint, those who haven't noticed their abilities until now probably have abilities with limited practicality, at least not significantly impactful for their own growth.

For instance, Wei Dalei's case would be hard to miss.

And currently, the probability of awakening into a powerful ability is not very high.

The members of Class 4 in Grade 12 have been quite lucky. Chen Mu, Dong Junwei, Wei Dalei—each has awakened powerful and practical abilities one after another.

But according to He Ying, she has encountered dozens of people before and after, and very few had abilities that appeared strong at first glance. The few that did have such abilities died young.

Now, even people like Sun Yuan can already be classified as powerful mutants.

Everyone hopes to become strong.

But it is evident that this world is not fair.

From what we can see now, some abilities, no matter how much they are enhanced, remain limited in their scope of application.

For example, Zhao Xiaoyan's enhanced sense of smell, even if she trains her ability to the point where she can smell a piece of cake on the other side of the Earth, it would only be of greater help to the team.

Support is ultimately just support.

She can't possibly rely on her nose to sniff enemies to death.

And abilities like Chen Mu's, which seem quite comprehensive at the moment, are clearly rare.

This may seem unfair.

But this world has never been fair.

Some people are born into wealthy families, while others grow up in orphanages.

What can you do about it?

Blame God?

Fortunately, most of the people in the current team have a peaceful mindset. Even Zhu Hao and Chang Junyan, who perform physical tasks happily every day, have developed some exclusive entertainment activities in their spare time.

For example, using Zhu Hao's horn to tickle Chang Junyan.

As it turns out, quirkiness is contagious.

Zhu Hao used to be a fairly normal person, but now that he has spent a lot of time with Chang Junyan, he has also started to veer off the norm. And with the addition of Sun Yuan, it's like a carnival of madness.

However, in terms of optimism and open-mindedness, even Chen Mu admires these three guys.

...

...

The previous incident did not affect the production of the water tank. Chen Mu's mental strength has grown rapidly in breadth, and now he can already control stainless steel of the same volume as his own body. However, in terms of precision, it is still not satisfactory.

Fortunately, the water tank does not require high precision. As long as the entire water supply project ensures no leakage, the appearance doesn't matter much.

In about an hour or so, Chen Mu has completed all six sides of the water tank, consuming quite a few disposable spoons and leaving the male students, who were supposed to handle logistics, quite exhausted.

The quality of the plastic sheets is even better than Tang Jing imagined.

Both the uniform thickness and the smoothness of the edges exceeded her expectations.

"The next step is integration."

"Do we not need any openings? There should be inlet and outlet points for the water, right?"

"We don't need to worry about that for now. Let's finish the assembly first; otherwise, it's hard to confirm the positions."

"Alright."

"Old Wei, give it a try. Can you lift these plastic boards upright?"

"No problem."

Wei Dalei glanced at the plastic boards on the ground, seemingly disdainful.

Currently, Wei Dalei almost took charge of all the heavy physical tasks in the team. Consuming all his physical strength every day was his only way of training.

His ability is displayed in the most straightforward manner.

However, although abilities seem chaotic and disorderly, they actually strictly follow certain rules.

As for the so-called strength enhancement, it is a rather vague concept. The reasons for such enhancement are not clear; it could be a change in body structure or simply due to some mysterious power that does not exist in the real world.

But obviously, Tang Jing isn't too interested in Wei Dalei's ability.

On the one hand, she has Dōng Jūnwēi and Chen Mu, who are more valuable as experimental subjects. On the other hand, regardless of the source of power, the ultimate purpose is clear, so there is no need to trace its origin for the time being.

However, despite Wei Dalei's lack of knowledge about the nature of his ability, it doesn't stop him from exercising every day, and the way he exercises is nothing more than doing heavy physical work.

It's a case of making the best use of his talents.

Therefore, Old Wei is very clear about how much weight he can lift.

The next step is for Chen Mu to assemble these plastic boards, but before that, someone must put them in the right position.

However, although Wei Dalei's strength is sufficient, he finds that the task is still challenging when he actually starts operating. This is because the size of the plastic boards far exceeds the size of a human, making it difficult to handle certain things even if they are not heavy.

In the end, with everyone's joint efforts, they managed to lift two side boards to form a right angle, along with the one on the ground, creating three plastic boards that are perpendicular to each other.

Chen Mu took advantage of this time to quickly perform the fusion.

Once this step is done, the rest becomes much simpler.

After fixing the four side walls, the most troublesome part is still the top, as it is nearly impossible to directly seal a height of 10 centimeters.

Fortunately, they have Wei Dalei.

Old Wei squatted down, gripping the bottom of the water tank with both hands, and exerted force to lift one side. As long as they lay the plastic water tank flat, they can easily glue the last top board, and then flip it back later.

But obviously, the 8810 water tank is almost approaching Wei Dalei's upper limit of strength. Combined with its massive size, many times, even with all his strength, he couldn't handle it.

It took a tremendous effort with everyone's cooperation to flip the water tank over.

Once Chen Mu completed the final bonding and lifted the water tank upright again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the entire process was considered smooth, they realized that it had already gotten dark after finishing.

Under the fading sunlight, a plastic box was quietly placed near the door, and twelve people stood in front of it, looking somewhat small in comparison.

Everyone looked up at this colossal object.

Then, they exchanged glances.

A sense of accomplishment filled the air.
