Faced with a whole new life on the Luofu and relying on her adoration of Xianzhou culture, Guinaifen quickly learned skills that would keep her clothed and fed — such as slurping noodles in a handstand, smashing slabs without harming the people it was placed upon,catching bullets with bare hands, and so on.
