After leaving his neighborhood, Li Ming went straight to the shopping mall across the street. Seeing the three big words "Super Delicious", Li Ming hesitated. Eating so much again? Not a good idea...
Gurgle...
Oh my god, I am almost starving, why should I care so much?! Anyway, they are the ones who organized this event and gave me the monthly pass, so I should do it as it should be. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Thinking of this, Li Ming quickened his pace without any concern.
The platform at the entrance of the mall is being dismantled, and everything will naturally be cleared away after the event. The [Super Delicious] dessert shop is right next to the mall entrance, and it is an independent storefront. This dessert shop is a national chain that sells all kinds of Chinese and Western desserts, and it is also a relatively well-known company.
There are separate tables and chairs in the store, where customers can enjoy desserts and drinks, spending time surrounded by delicious food in this elegant environment.
Li Ming sat down directly at a table in a corner of the store, and then a waiter came over.
As soon as he saw Li Ming, the waiter recognized him immediately and said, "Aren't you Mr. Li who just won the championship?"
Li Ming smiled lightly and did not speak. Instead, he looked at the menu on the table. This action made the waiter's face change. He asked in surprise: "What do you want..."
Li Ming smiled slightly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he still took out the monthly card and said, "I want to... try this card to see if it works."
"Oh, don't worry, this card is calculated by date. As long as it's within 30 days and during our business hours, you can eat for free in the store, without limit, but... you can't take it away." The waiter introduced with a smile.
Li Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then just go ahead."
"Whatever...serve it as you like?" The waiter looked surprised.
Li Ming hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm hungry, as long as I can fill my stomach."
The waiter immediately showed a surprised expression. Li Ming had just won the championship and had eaten more than 30 plates. Now he was hungry again? He originally thought that he wanted to take it away, so he reminded him. Unexpectedly, he still wanted to eat!
"Well... okay then." The waiter then turned and left.
In a short while, the cake, bread and milk tea were all served. Li Ming did not hesitate to eat with a fork in one hand and a spoon in the other.
Not far away, a slightly plump man wearing glasses looked at all this with an embarrassed look on his face. This man was none other than Manager Chen of our store.
"Manager, this guy eats too much. If he continues to eat like this, can we still sell it to other customers?" The waiter suddenly came forward and said.
Manager Chen has been in the dessert industry for more than a decade and has seen many big eaters in various regions. He has seen all kinds of situations. At this moment, facing Li Ming's way of eating, he nodded slightly and said, "Other customers will be served first. This person is still a human being no matter how much he eats. If he eats too much at once, he will not eat again in the future. Serve him."
"Okay, manager." The waiter immediately picked up another cake and walked over.
Arriving at Li Ming's table, the waiter put down the cake and prepared to leave, but Li Ming raised his hand and called out to him: "My phone is out of battery, can you help me charge it?"
"Sure, no problem."
Li Ming took out his cell phone and handed it to the other party, then continued eating.
Li Ming did not stop eating. He ate as much as he was served. The amount he ate was far more than what he had eaten during the competition. However, Li Ming did not eat one bite at a time at a very fast speed like he did during the competition. Instead, he slowed down.
Looking at the cake in front of him, Li Ming wanted to swallow it in one gulp, but looking at the other customers and the waiters around him, Li Ming suppressed his impulse and secretly told himself: Eat slowly, eat slowly...
Eating in an ugly and embarrassing way, even though you are very hungry you have to endure it and just keep eating.
Although his eating speed slowed down, Li Ming never stopped and continued to eat until the afternoon.
"Sir, your phone is fully charged." The waiter walked over directly.
Li Ming took the phone, put it directly into his pocket and continued eating, but the waiter showed no intention of leaving.
Li Ming suddenly stopped and looked up at the other person: "What? Is there anything else?"
The waiter looked back at Manager Chen, then smiled at Li Ming and said, "It's like this, our store has run out of materials...so we have to close early today, so...you can come back tomorrow."
Li Ming glanced into the depths of the store. The counters displaying desserts had been cleared. Even the chef in charge of making desserts was standing at the door of the kitchen, wiping the bread knife and looking at Li Ming.
Seeing this, Li Ming ate the last piece of cake, stood up, wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table, and said, "Well...Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
Watching Li Ming leave, Manager Chen breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he thought of the other party's words of coming again tomorrow, Manager Chen was stunned. He looked at Li Ming's figure as he left, and was already planning something. After all, such a gentleman doesn't have to eat here every day. He can ruin the store in one or two days, and no one can stand it.
Li Ming came to the entrance of the mall, stopped, looked at the door of the mall, seemed to have thought of something, and walked into the mall.
He took out his cell phone and took a look. It was 17:36. He had been eating at Super Delicious for the whole afternoon. Li Ming knew very well what would happen next. The bathroom at home had not been cleaned yet, so he could only use the one in the mall.
The first floor of the mall is for electrical appliances, and the second floor is for clothing. This mall has been open for more than ten years and is an old store. Li Ming would occasionally shop here to buy some daily necessities or clothes, so Li Ming was very familiar with the location of the mall's toilets.
Take the elevator to the second floor, then reach the stairs of the emergency passage. The bathroom is next to the stairs.
The toilets in shopping malls are different. They have a sewage channel similar to a canal. Water will always flow in the canal for cleaning, and there are buttons on the wall to increase the water volume. There are multiple squatting positions on the long canal, but the canal sewage channels are interconnected, just like a group of people are doing the same thing by crossing over a canal.
Each squatting toilet has a separate space and door lock, just like a separate small room. In this row of sixX squatting toilets, only one door is open, and the others are already occupied.
After Li Ming entered the vacant position, he locked the door first. There was a power button on the right wall. This was the power supply for flushing, which was different from ordinary household flushing. Li Ming tried pressing it first.
'Hua La La'
The rushing water rushed past quickly, and Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. This flushing system using electric equipment was indeed powerful enough, so there was nothing to worry about. Li Ming took off his pants and squatted down.
This should have been an easy thing to do, but Li Ming was extremely nervous. He just kept repeating to himself: Everyone else please leave quickly. I can only relax when I am alone in the bathroom.
There was nothing unusual about the other squatting positions, and obviously no one would leave in a short time, but Li Ming couldn't help it anymore. He got into position, and then put his right hand on the power supply, ready to press it at any time, because once he started, he would not be able to control it.
"ah...."
A soft sound was heard. At first, the basic water flow below could stil| flush it aWway, but soon the basic water flow became insignificant. Fortunately, there was a button to increase the water flow.
Li Ming would quickly press it as long as there was any sign of something wrong.
But... after letting go completely, like a fully opened faucet, Li Ming's right hand pressed the button frantically, and the powerful electric water flow took over.
Everything went as smoothly as Li Ming had imagined.
The rushing water is very powerful and any object can be easily washed away in the smooth canal, but Li Ming's fingers pressing the button cannot stop for even a moment.
But after only a few seconds, the power supply seemed to malfunction, and the water flow suddenly weakened a lot. Li Ming's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he did not dare to hesitate at all. At this critical moment, Li Ming's right hand waved the power supply even more frantically.
"Oh my god, it's broken?!" Li Ming said to himself.
The water channels are interconnected. The man behind Li Ming's squat toilet is looking at his mobile phone, but after every sound of water flowing under him, a "small mountain" floats over. The originally quiet bathroom is constantly filled with the sound of flowing water, but the sound of water flowing suddenly stops.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The sound of flowing water was replaced by the sound of a button being pressed repeatedly. It was the sound of Li Ming frantically pressing the button with his fingers, but the water flow was still very small. It was obvious that the power system had malfunctioned.
If the water flow cannot reach there, it will accumulate higher and higher, and begin to spread rapidly forward and backward along the canal. The people squatting in front and behind Li Ming immediately discovered the abnormality.
"Fuck, what the hell!" The man behind quickly stood up and pressed the button as well. However, the electric flushing system is shared, and once it is damaged, all the buttons will become ineffective.
'Bang'
There was a sound of plastic breaking, and the whole bathroom suddenly became quiet. Li Ming pressed the button hurriedly and hard, and his entire index finger actually penetrated the plastic button and pressed into the wall.
Suddenly, an electric current passed through Li Ming's fingers and spread to Li Ming's body. If an ordinary person was electrocuted due to such a mistake or equipment damage, he would basically die. But Li Ming was different. As soon as the electric current entered his body, an unprecedented sense of comfort was transmitted directly to his brain.
"Oh my god, this is so damn cool!" Li Ming said to himself.
At this moment, the electric current was like the dessert, being quickly absorbed by Li Ming's body, but the energy of this electric current was much higher than those desserts. The comfort and pleasure brought to the body by the energy replenishment made Li Ming extremely excited.
As the electric current became stronger and stronger entering his body, Li Ming suddenly felt filled with strength, as if his body had expanded and become larger, as if something inside his body had been suddenly activated.
While Li Ming was enjoying the pleasure of gaining power, the lights in the entire bathroom suddenly went out, then lit up again, and the water channel under him suddenly made a strong "gurgling" sound of water flow, but soon stopped. Then, the lights in the bathroom flashed quickly between dark and bright, as if someone was turning the light on and off quickly and frequently. After flashing a few more times, there was no movement, and the bathroom immediately fell into darkness.
"What's going on? Did you break something just now?!" The man behind Li Ming shouted when he saw the light flashing a few times and then suddenly went out.
Li Ming was also a little surprised, but he was so excited that he had no time to pay attention to the other party, and he took advantage of the sudden darkness to have some ideas.
"Might as well take this opportunity..." Li Ming said to himself. He could not care less. It was so dark that no one could see us. He just wanted to make himself comfortable first. He then completely relaxed and allowed his body to excrete waste.
The water flow failed and excrement piled up quickly.
But Li Ming didn't know that as the light in the bathroom went out, the lights on the entire second floor also went out, and then the lights in the entire shopping mall also went out.
With this shopping mall as the center, surrounding office buildings, residential areas, and public facilities all quickly lost power. The power outage spread quickly, and half of T City was in the midst of it.
This power outage is not a complete power outage. It is like a power shortage or power outage. The lights and electrical equipment switch on and off, but after a while, they are finally plunged into complete darkness.
The mall immediately fell into chaos, with all kinds of noisy discussions continuing.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"Don't move things..."
"You haven't paid for this yet…"
Cell phone lights and makeshift flashlights started flashing, and mall staff quickly came out to maintain order and stop the panic.
At this time, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the problem was finally solved. He withdrew his hand and took the fingers of his right hand out of the wall. As the fingers were pulled out, the light in the bathroom immediately became bright again, and the power of the entire shopping mall was restored.
The power supply to the buildings around the mall also returned to normal immediately, and everything seemed like an accidental accident.
Li Ming opened the door of the squat toilet where he was, then quickly closed it and left without looking back. He walked out of the bathroom and turned directly into the stairs. At this time, many people gathered at the stairs. Some were preparing to leave, and some still turned on the lights of their mobile phones. Li Ming walked quickly through the crowd, went downstairs and left the mall directly.
As for the situation of the shopping mall's toilets, Li Ming was very clear. With his own drainage capacity, it was no longer a question of whether it was blocked or not, but a question of how to clean it.
