Chapter 171: I'm an Idiot!!!

Upon seeing the billboard, although Bai Song subconsciously read the title aloud, it wasn't the title that caught his attention; it was something else.

Bai Song touched the surface of the billboard with his hand, carefully feeling its contours and grooves. His movements were skillful, as if he were caressing something soft.

"Did I really hit it that hard?" Bai Song's face darkened as he felt the concave pit that perfectly matched the shape of his face. He then touched his own face and compared it to the face on the billboard.

Surprisingly, the impact from his collision had left an impression of his face on the billboard, with sharp angles and even tiny details like eyebrows perfectly replicated. An unsuspecting observer might mistake it for intentional artistry.

Bai Song was perplexed. He was just an ordinary, completely normal person. How could his collision with a billboard produce such an effect?

"Tch!" Bai Song tentatively tapped the billboard with his knuckles, and it produced a crisp sound, just like tapping a regular billboard.

Hearing the sound, Bai Song became even more puzzled. "Right, it's hard, not soft, isn't it?"

Though he couldn't understand what was happening, Bai Song decisively took out the camera he had acquired from Jerry earlier and promptly snapped a photo as a memento. Collectors do these kinds of things.

After the photo slipped out of the camera like a newly hatched chick, Bai Song continued to study the mysterious billboard. However, he wasn't focused on its content.

As a person who came to this world to save the world, Bai Song had his unique ways of observing things.

"Could it be... that I'm not a normal person after all?" Bai Song leaned forward, tilting his upper body closer while keeping his lower body still. He cupped his chin with his right hand, lost in thought.

Just like Gudako, if he remembered correctly, Gudako could be with Hassan without being poisoned because of the contract with Mashu. So, could it be that Bai Song, who also made a contract with Tom, might have gained some abilities related to cats?

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!

Although the way he summoned Tom was completely different from how Gudako and Mashu formed their contracts, but... what if? What if he really obtained Tom's abilities? Wouldn't he skyrocket to greatness?

Trying to find out if he had gained any superpowers from Tom or Spike, the best method would be to... act cheap! Bai Song hesitated for a moment, touched his now less painful face, and muttered to himself, "Should I give it a try?"

Looking around to confirm that there was no one nearby, he nodded decisively and said, "Why not? Let's give it a shot! I already collided once, so what's the harm in a second time?"

Taking a few steps back, Bai Song took a deep breath and then sprinted full force towards the billboard. His speed was so fast that he could cover 100 meters in just 15 seconds!

However, during the interval between his start and the moment of impact, Bai Song couldn't help but doubt whether he could create a perfect face on the billboard like before. He subconsciously felt that it might not work, but he hoped it would.

Just as he contemplated, in a matter of moments, Bai Song's face collided head-on with the billboard. "Bam!" With a much more intense impact than before, his face perfectly hit the billboard!

Then, Bai Song was thrown back and ended up sitting on the ground due to the recoil.

"Ouch!!!" Tsundere with pain, Bai Song quickly covered his injured face with both hands, feeling a burning sensation. "Ow, ow, ow..."

"Wonder how it went..." After the pain subsided a bit, Bai Song looked up at the billboard only to find that, apart from the previous face imprint, nothing new had appeared.

Seeing this, Bai Song's eyes darkened, and he mumbled, "Damn, I'm an idiot!"

Quietly getting up, he pretended as if nothing had happened and patted the dust off his buttocks.

If one were to look closely at his face, they would notice that not only did he look black-faced, but his cheeks were also a bit flushed, not from the collision but from pure embarrassment over his previous thought of possibly having superpowers. What difference was there between that and the delusions of chuunibyou teenagers during their "eighth-grade syndrome"? Probably none, perhaps, maybe.

Well, from the recent experiment, it was clear that he didn't possess any superpowers at all. If it were possible, he felt like he could have dug a hole to hide in from his own embarrassment.

Fortunately, no one noticed his foolish behavior, so he didn't have to worry about being mocked.

However, as if following Murphy's Law, just as Bai Song was consoling his fragile soul, a familiar mocking laughter rang out from the side.

"Ahahaha!" Upon hearing that voice, Bai Song, who was feeling extremely embarrassed, tensed up.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Song swiftly turned his head, his cheeks tinged with a blush of embarrassment, and looked towards the source of the mocking laughter. There stood Tom, holding his stomach with his left hand while pointing in Bai Song's direction with his right hand, openly and exaggeratedly laughing as if he were an audience member watching a comedy show.

Seeing that it was Tom who was mocking him, the one he trusted the most, Bai Song's face darkened even more... No, truth be told, his face hadn't been in a good state since the beginning!

"Keep laughing, and you won't have lunch or dinner!" Bai Song decisively threatened, hoping Tom hadn't noticed he was looking at him.

"Ahahaha... Grrr?!" In the midst of laughter, Tom suddenly realized what Bai Song had just said.

Instantly, Tom's laughter died down, and his expression changed from lightheartedness to horror. Realizing that his lunch and dinner might be in jeopardy, Tom, seething with anger, charged straight towards Bai Song.

As Bai Song wondered what Tom was up to, the cat swiftly glided to a stop and knelt down right in front of him.
