"Ding～"
On the rooftop of the apartment building, Lei Ting turned his back to the strong wind and carefully flicked the coin in his hand. At the same time, he "manually" simulated the sound of "ding".
A one-yuan coin was flicked up, spun several times above his palm, and then fell, being steadily caught by a large hand.
"It seems that my old skills are still there." Lei Ting smiled with satisfaction.
During his middle school days, Lei Ting learned a whole bunch of useless "little skills", including but not limited to flicking coins, snapping his fingers, whistling, etc. As for the reason, he just thought it was cool. After learning these skills, he would deliberately or inadvertently use these "little skills" in front of his classmates, hoping to see them with shining eyes and come to him to learn.
Of course, things didn't go as he wished. Everyone didn't care about these little actions at all. Or maybe they noticed them, but they didn't think there was anything remarkable about them.
Therefore, whenever Lei Ting recalled these past events, he would feel so embarrassed that his toes would curl, as if he could dig out a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
Back to the main topic. After a simple try of the "preparatory action", Lei Ting was ready to start the real "experiment".
He made a false grip with his right hand, placed the coin on his thumb nail, held his breath and concentrated, and then exerted force with his thumb!
The coin flew into the air and kept spinning. But this time, Lei Ting deliberately used more strength to make it fly high enough.
After the coin passed over Lei Ting's head, without his body as a windbreak, the coin was instantly swept away by the strong wind and deviated from its original trajectory.
But this was exactly the result Lei Ting wanted!
At this moment, he made his right hand into the shape of a gun. He closed and opened his eyes, staring intently at the coin still "flying" in the air. When it began to fall, Lei Ting made a simple prediction and then decisively released the restriction on his fingertips.
The electric current that had already been condensed at his fingertips shot out instantly as Lei Ting released the restriction, forming a bright column of electric light and successfully hitting the coin.
Although this column of electric light was only as wide as one finger and as long as two fingers, which was a mini version of the railgun in his heart that was like a "bankrupt youth" version, it was enough for Lei Ting now.
He didn't expect that he could shoot a railgun as powerful as the one in a certain Japanese anime at present. He just wanted to test whether the railgun was feasible.
And now, the result of the experiment was out. The railgun could be achieved! This was already the best news for Lei Ting.
"Ding～"
The coin landed on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Lei Ting excitedly paced back and forth on the spot for a while before walking forward and picking up the coin.
Just then, a raindrop fell on the back of his hand.
"It's coming." Lei Ting and the JK girl who was secretly recording in the back said at the same time.
...
"Liu Wang, what do you think his ability will 'evolve' into?" In a room decorated like an office, a big man with a broad body but not looking bloated asked a rather sunny and handsome young man sitting next to him with a kind and slightly simple smile.
On the low tea table in front of them, there was a tablet computer, which was broadcasting a "live broadcast" from a certain place in real time.
"What else could it be? It's electromagnetic force. How many superpower users with the ability of 'electric current manipulation' have 'changed qualitatively' into this? But I have to say, the electric ability is really useful. Just with 'wandering hands', it can have such a strong attack power. Ah, I don't know when we can have an 'Heavenly Dao' with an electric ability. 'Magnetic force manipulation' and 'magnetic field control' sound terrifying just thinking about them." The handsome young man Liu Wang replied. While speaking, he also recalled a scene he had witnessed before, and there was obvious envy in his eyes.
"Maybe he can be the one." The "big man" pointed at the tablet computer with his semi-circular chin.
In the picture on the tablet computer, it was now pouring with rain. The mist caused by the rain greatly reduced the clarity of the picture, and it was only barely possible to see that the live broadcast venue was on the rooftop of a tall building. And in the center of the rooftop, there was a man with his hands raised high. Regarding the big man's "optimism", Liu Wang didn't refute, but just replied lightly:
"I hope so."
...
The howling wind gradually subsided, replaced by raindrops as big as soybeans, which soon changed from a few scattered drops to a dense curtain of rain.
The sound of the pattering rain rang in his ears, mixed with bursts of dull thunder. In the dark clouds in the sky, electric light flashed from time to time.
When the first lightning bolt flashed across the horizon and the first rumble of thunder reached his ears, Lei Ting raised his somewhat sore arms and shouted:
"Come on! Strike me!"
It seemed that "Heaven" heard Lei Ting's plea. Without hesitation, "Heaven" summoned a bolt of lightning and directly struck Lei Ting.
In that instant, Lei Ting saw the familiar white light and felt the familiar tingling sensation. Then his whole body lost its strength, and he fell helplessly on the rooftop.
Behind him, the JK girl watched indifferently and continued her "live broadcast".
The rain kept hitting Lei Ting's face, bringing a rare coolness to this sweltering summer night that wouldn't quiet down.
His eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at the gloomy sky.
After a while, he regained some strength and tremblingly climbed up from the ground. As he climbed, he cursed:
"I told you to strike me, but I didn't tell you to strike so quickly! At least give me some hint, you damned god of heaven..."
It seemed that "Heaven" heard Lei Ting's curse. Before he could finish speaking, another dazzling white light flashed and fiercely struck the rooftop, hitting Lei Ting who had just stood up.
But the good news was that, compared to the first strike, Lei Ting could still feel something. This second strike directly crashed his brain. He only felt a white light in front of his eyes, and then the scene in front of his eyes changed back to the gloomy sky, and he once again enjoyed the "face rain therapy".
Previously, after the first lightning strike, he still had the thought to scold "Heaven" to vent his dissatisfaction. After the second lightning strike, he was directly stunned. His brain was like a rusty gear, stuck firmly there, and his mind was completely in a mess with no useful information at all.
However, even so, "Heaven" still didn't intend to let him go. Soon, the third white light flashed again in Lei Ting's eyes...
This real "triple strike" even made the JK girl, who had always been calm, take a half step back in fear with her small mouth slightly open.
The big man and the handsome young man on the other side of the camera both showed obvious expressions of horror.
"Could he be struck to death?" The handsome young man Liu Wang asked worriedly.
"It shouldn't be that serious..." The big man replied:
"He is a lightning-based superpower user himself and has a high natural immunity to lightning... However, being struck three times in a row... Even for a lightning-based superpower user, it's hard not to have any problems... He definitely won't die, but I just hope he doesn't get seriously injured..."
On the rooftop of the apartment building, the JK girl waited for two minutes. After seeing that there was no fourth bolt of lightning, she walked forward, bent down and placed her right hand on Lei Ting's forehead, who had completely fainted, and began to feel his condition carefully.
After a while, the girl stood up straight and said into the earphone beside her ear:
"He's not seriously injured. He just fainted. He's probably going to wake up tomorrow morning and there shouldn't be any sequelae. His ability advancement this time was also successful. As for whether it's electromagnetic force or not, he needs to show it himself. Well, I'll send him back first. If he disappears all night, his parents will be worried to death."
After saying that, the girl took the initiative to turn off the mobile phone live broadcast, grabbed the collar of Lei Ting's upper garment with one hand, and with great strength that was completely inconsistent with her small figure, she lifted Lei Ting up. Then she held him in a very strange posture, with his upper body suspended in the air and his lower body drooping, and half-carried and half-dragged him towards the rooftop door.
