"Salty Vegetable Superhero VII - Salty Vegetable Fart"

The Super Cai with Seven Fermented Vegetables Farting

Since Cai acquired the skill of producing a foul smell, he dreamed that one day Rose would encounter trouble and come to him for help. However, upon realizing his own smelly state, even if he became a superhero, what impression would Rose have of him? This troubled him greatly.

Originally, Cai's ability was not as convenient as a weasel farting but required preparation three days in advance, which was quite uncomfortable. Occasionally doing it once was acceptable, but doing it daily would lower his quality of life. Cai pondered how he could find a skill that was both powerful and convenient to use.

One day, after eating too many sweet potatoes, while walking with Big Cai, he kept farting. Since learning to fart from the weasel, his farts were extremely potent. He first injured Big Cai’s leg behind him, causing him to limp. Then, another fart caused a nearby willow tree to shake and its trunk broke, leaves falling all over. Big Cai was surprised and said to him: "Cai, instead of focusing on the stench, why not focus on your farts?"

Cai began to contemplate; whether it be the stench or farts, what he sought was the power of a superhero. Nowadays, farting was effortless, like moss, very convenient. If he practiced more and made his farts powerful, wouldn't it save more effort than just producing a stench? And when meeting Rose, he wouldn’t feel awkward. Thus, Cai began practicing his farting skills at home, day by day reaching a level of perfection.

Once, while Cai was out on business, he saw a family demolishing their house. It was hot, and the people on the roof were sweating profusely, working like ants slowly prying off tiles. Seeing this, Cai became anxious and asked the workers to come down, saying he could demolish the house instantly. The workers didn’t fully believe him but came down anyway and gathered around Cai to watch. Cai aimed his butt at the house, and with a loud "boom," the house collapsed. Everyone applauded him.

Seeing his capability, the homeowner asked Cai for another favor, saying they were digging a tunnel on East Mountain, facing large rocks and great difficulty, asking Cai to help.

Surrounded by the crowd, Cai arrogantly arrived at East Mountain, took a stance, and began to collapse the mountain. With a loud "boom," clouds of dust obscured the view. When everyone opened their eyes, they realized the mountain wasn’t split, but a nearby bridge under construction had collapsed. Cai, being too proud, hadn’t aimed properly and started farting carelessly. This caused a big disaster, and people from the other side came demanding compensation. Cai was stunned; a bridge cost millions, and his family couldn’t afford it. Just as Cai was about to cry without tears, the tunnel diggers offered that if Cai could collapse five tunnels in the mountain, they would help him rebuild the bridge. Without hesitation, Cai agreed. Afterward, he stayed in the mountain for three months, learning no new skills, turning his face purple from exertion, and farting day and night to collapse the five tunnels. During this time, he thought of Rose so much he went crazy, but he couldn’t see her because East Mountain was too far from home.

After months of hard work, Cai finally completed his task. From then on, Cai was no longer arrogant because he realized that regardless of one’s abilities, a person should never be proud. Once proud, calamity would follow.

Cai felt understanding this truth was more meaningful than acquiring any skill, and this meaning was second only to meeting Rose.
