Pickles knew that becoming a superhero was not something that happened overnight. In the past, he would have needed to master astronomy, geography, the teachings of various philosophers, ancient and modern history, music, chess, military strategy, kung fu techniques, as well as all the special skills of Shaolin monks. But times had changed. Now, in addition to all these things, he also needed the abilities of a space superhero—able to emit light or start fires at will, possessing powers akin to thunder gods. However, even with all these abilities, he was still far from his current situation. He decided to start where he was and first learn how to release smelly farts from the weasel.
He made this choice because he believed that a superhero must have biochemical weapons; relying solely on Shaolin martial arts was outdated now. For instance, if someone pulled out a gun from dozens of meters away and fired a single shot, you wouldn't even have time to get into a horse stance before you were finished. Furthermore, using biochemical weapons didn't come with legal responsibility. If you hit someone with a punch, everyone would see it. If the person died or was injured, the evidence would be undeniable and you couldn't escape responsibility. But with biochemical weapons, there's no trace left behind—who would know? Mastering biochemical weapons—that's what makes a real superhero!
The weasel’s farts were invisible, odorless, portable, and completely natural—the perfect biochemical weapon. Pickles had personally witnessed the weasel knocking out a large group of rats and frogs with just one fart. So, he decided to start by learning how to fart.
Pickles became friends with the weasel, which puzzled everyone. They wondered why such an honest kid like Pickles would suddenly go bad and hang out with the weasel, a small-time thug who stole chickens.
Pickles practiced for a long time, and his farts grew louder and more powerful, but they never smelled bad. The weasel could knock out rats and frogs with a single fart, while Pickles' farts sounded like cannon blasts, creating craters in the ground, but they lacked any smell. This made Pickles feel helpless and admire the weasel immensely. Whatever the weasel asked him to do, he did. Once when the weasel was stealing chickens and needed help, he tricked Pickles into going along to scatter rice to lure the hens out. Not only did they fail to steal the chicken, but they also wasted a bag of rice, and everyone found out that Pickles had been involved in the theft.
When the news reached Mrs. Ma, she scolded Pickles and forbade him from associating with the weasel. Pickles stayed home for three days, reflecting on himself and realizing he was heading in the wrong direction. Hedgehogs had spines, and weasels had their farts—these were innate abilities passed down through generations over hundreds of years. If he tried to blindly copy them, it might take years just to learn how to fart, leaving no time to learn anything else or become a superhero. At this rate, roses would already be married by the time he learned everything. No, this couldn't continue. Pickles thought carefully and realized what he truly wanted was the ability to produce an overwhelming stench—not necessarily farts. This way, he wouldn't need to strain his face red every day trying to hold in farts, but instead focus on producing the stench.
Pickles locked himself in his room, neither eating nor bathing, obsessively thinking about how to create the stench. After several days, he still hadn't come up with a good method. However, when he finally stepped out of the door, he noticed that everyone who saw him covered their noses. It turned out that due to his long absence of bathing, he had started to smell foul. Seeing others react so strongly to him, Pickles was delighted, thinking to himself, "Truly, heaven helps those who help themselves. I wanted a stench, and here it is."
Half a month later, Pickles finally figured out a way to make himself incredibly smelly. His stench was not only capable of knocking people unconscious but also making them vomit uncontrollably, even more potent than the weasel's farts. Even the weasel gave him a thumbs-up, saying, "Pickles, you've graduated."
Since acquiring this skill, Pickles helped his neighbors countless times. One day, when the city management officers came to demolish Magpie's nest, claiming it was an illegal construction affecting urban aesthetics, Magpie called Pickles for help. As soon as Pickles stood there, he knocked out several officers with his stench. When the police arrived, they couldn't do anything because hygiene was a personal choice and not within their jurisdiction. After this incident, the city management officers stopped bothering Mrs. Ma's stall at the market. Seeing how effective Pickles' ability was, many people started inviting him to help. Mrs. Ma suggested that Pickles use this skill to make money. Pickles refused, saying he could help the villagers, but he wasn't interested in earning money since he still needed to learn other skills—he was eager to become a superhero and meet Rose. Making money was too vulgar for him.
