Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 412 System [I]

Perception spreads.

Only a few meters.

But this was enough for Hu Qi to see the surrounding environment.

This is a dimly lit room.

The room was small, with mottled paint peeling off the walls, revealing the gray cement underneath.

The surroundings are filled with all kinds of messy objects, as if every inch of space has been utilized to the maximum.

The walls were covered with all kinds of posters, all of which were hand-painted mechanical gears and circuit diagrams, with bright colors but some signs of wear and tear.

There were several old electronic devices piled in the corner, with wires tangled together and flashing faint blue lights.

On the table next to it was a modified computer with its outer shell half removed, revealing the intricate circuit boards and cooling fan inside.

The bed was on the other side of the room, its covers dark grey with some vaguely geometric pattern on them.

A homemade LED lamp is hung at the head of the bed. The lampshade is made of discarded metal parts. The light shines through the gaps onto the wall, creating mottled light and shadows.

As for him, he was trapped in a drawer of a table, or more precisely, imprisoned in a cross medal.

Hu Qi tried to break free, but every attempt was met with great resistance.

Even if he used the power of twisted light, it was not of much use.

Faced with such a situation, Hu Qi frowned slightly.

For now.

He seemed unable to do anything except observe the outside world.

The world within the Abyssless Realm is completely different from other worlds.

The world here is full of strange things, and the power of rules is extremely strong.

Even if a true God descends, it will take time to adapt before it can unleash its power.

And the world before us is obviously just like that.

If you want to enter it, you must go through a period of buffering and adaptation.

Hu Qi is no exception.

Think about this.

He stopped trying and waited patiently.

After a while.

A slight sound of footsteps broke the silent atmosphere.

Click!

At this moment, the tightly closed door on one side was quietly pushed open.

Then, a thin figure gradually approached.

As the distance shortened, the outline of the figure became clearer in the dim light.

She was a girl with black hair and black eyes, her face dotted with freckles.

The girl's exposed skin looked too pale, as if it had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

One could even clearly see the dark blue blood vessels beneath her skin, which was as thin as a cicada's wing.

She entered the house and closed the door gently.

Then look toward the window.

Outside the window, the dark sky was covered with rain, and raindrops were hitting the glass.

The huge neon billboard in the distance emitted a hazy light in the rain.

She stared for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes a little dazed.

After a while, she came back to her senses.

Walk towards the wooden table.

Her steps were slightly unsteady, and her right leg seemed to have some difficulty, with each step dragging slightly.

Apparently there's something wrong with the legs.

Despite this, there was no expression on her face.

Apparently he's already used to this inconvenience.

The table was piled with books and parts. She picked up one and started reading.

At this moment, Hu Qi was less than one meter away from the girl.

But he did not act rashly.

This world was strange and complex to him, and his first priority was to understand the information here, especially the language.

Under normal circumstances, he could analyze the other person's language with just one glance.

However, the suppression of the power of rules made his ability to penetrate extremely limited, and he could only rely on learning.

Language is a form of communication between living things.

The importance of this is self-evident.

For ordinary people.

Want to learn an unfamiliar language from scratch?

It simply cannot be done in a short period of time.

However, as a true God who embodies immortal divinity, his learning ability and the depth of his processing of information have long surpassed the comprehension of normal people.

For him, drawing inferences from one example is just a piece of cake.

In just less than half a minute, he had parsed the language of this world and had a general grasp of the writing.

Although in the cross medal.

But Hu Qi's perspective is not limited by angle, and he can observe everything in the room at 365 degrees without blind spots.

At this moment, the cover of the book in the girl's hand clearly reads "Transistor Circuit Design".

The page on which the book was opened reads Section 3

Frequency response of the common emitter amplifier circuit.

[…At high frequencies, the junction capacitance effect of transistors cannot be ignored, especially the collector junction capacitance Cμ and emitter junction capacitance Cπ, which will form a low-pass filter with the resistance in the circuit, resulting in a decrease in high-frequency gain.

In order to analyze the high-frequency response, we need to establish a high-frequency small signal model of the transistor.

The girl seemed unaware of his presence and continued reading intently.

Sometimes he would take a pen and write or draw something.

"No, that way the transistor will break down once the high frequency is reached!"

"The two capacitors Cμ and Cπ are simply high-frequency killers!"

"The book says that a common base circuit can be used to improve frequency response, but the output impedance is too low and the load capacity is too poor."

"Perhaps, we can try the cascode structure? Sacrificing some voltage gain..."

The girl frowned slightly.

Talking to himself.

He drew a sloppy circuit diagram with a pen, and it could be vaguely seen that it was some kind of improved common-emitter amplifier circuit.

According to the name on the side of a book.

Let Hu Qi know the girl's name.

Zhao Ying.

Simultaneously.

Based on the exploration of some contents in some books in the room.

Hu Qi also had a general understanding of the world he lived in.

The technology in this world is not low.

Even interstellar migration has been carried out.

There are mechanical prostheses, AI companions, cyber neural networks, nanorobots, and everything else.

However, although society is highly developed and technology is extremely advanced, only a small number of upper-class people can enjoy them.

Most ordinary people lose their value because their jobs are replaced by AI.

Society is controlled by big business at the top.

Ordinary people have lost their freedom and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

They can only do some low-paying jobs and earn a little money to feed themselves.

This situation has become more serious as time goes by.

Causing greater poverty, oppression and chaos for the common people.

This is an extremely distorted and chaotic world.

Hu Qi made an evaluation in his heart.

As for more detailed information, such as whether there is a supernatural system in this world, or the location of the Tao.

But there is no way to obtain it.

After all, the range he could detect was limited to this room.

……

The rain was hitting the window.

The tip of the girl Zhao Ying's pen rubbed gently on the rough recycled paper.

It made a slight rustling sound, interweaving with the sound of rain outside the window.

Suddenly, the pen in her hand stopped, leaving an abrupt mark on the manuscript paper.

Then she reached out and opened the drawer of the desk, trying to find the manuscript she had written before.

At this moment, her peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of an object at the deepest part of the drawer.

It was a cross medal the size of a coin, its metal texture emitting a cold glow in the dim drawer.

This is not some priceless, rare treasure, but just an ordinary souvenir issued by the Holy Cross Church.

Everyone is eligible to claim one for free if they wish.

I applied for one for free during a school event.

However, after getting it, she threw it into the drawer.

But today, I don’t know what happened.

She looked at the medal and somehow reached out her hand, picked it up, and rubbed it gently in her palm.

The four ends of the bronze cross medal are carved with fine patterns, like winding vines and flames.

In the center is an embossed sun pattern, with the sun's rays radiating outward with fine lines, symbolizing the supreme faith of the Holy Cross Church.

On the back of the medal is engraved a line of inscriptions in small characters: "The embers are not extinguished, the sun is long-lasting"

The cool touch of the medal slowly passed through her fingertips, inexplicably calming her originally restless heart.

"Xiaoying, open the door."

at this time.

The mother's somewhat tired voice came from outside the door, instantly breaking the original silence in the room.

Zhao Ying raised her head when she heard the voice and responded subconsciously.

Then he stuffed the Bronze Cross Medal into his pocket, stood up, and walked towards the door, dragging his inconvenient right leg.

Outside.

They were the parents who had just got off work.

Their clothes were wet from the rain and their faces were filled with fatigue.

Zhao Ying sensibly took the shopping bag from her mother, turned and walked into the kitchen, and began to wash and cut vegetables skillfully.

After a while, several dishes were placed on the table.

Several dishes combining meat and vegetables were steaming, although the meat was synthetic meat processed with seasonings, and the fish and shrimp were also made from algae or synthetic materials.

But in this barren downtown area, it was considered a luxurious dinner.

The sound of rain continued, and the neon lights outside the window refracted blurry shadows on the glass through the rain.

Warm yellow light poured onto the dining table. Three people sat around it. The food in front of them had already been placed. The steam was gradually dissipating, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Just because there is still one person who has not returned yet.

That man was Zhao Ying's elder brother.

The other party attends a prestigious top high school in the downtown area. He is busy with his studies on weekdays and can only go home a few times.

Fortunately, I had contacted and confirmed in advance that I would be back, so my family carefully prepared this meal in advance.

About ten minutes later, there was a sound of a key turning in the door lock.

Then, the door was pushed open and a young man walked in.

He is about 60% similar to Zhao Ying in his eyes and eyebrows, and he is Zhao Ying's elder brother Zhao Yao.

Saw this scene.

The original father and mother all stood up.

The same is true for Zhao Ying.

after that.

The family finally sat together and started to eat.

At the dinner table, casual chatting ensued.

To be precise, it was the parents' constant inquiries of concern, and Zhao Yao responded casually.

As for Zhao Ying, she just lowered her eyes quietly and ate the food in the bowl silently, as if she was isolated from the world and became a transparent person.

"By the way, Xiaoyao, are the results of your energy test this time out?"

Father Zhao Tian suddenly remembered something and asked.

"It's out. A-level lower evaluation, ranked second in the school."

Zhao Yao smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone.

He does have reason to be proud.

Willpower testing is a test that colleges and universities attach the most importance to. It covers comprehensive abilities such as nerve reaction, memory, and logical thinking. It is a comprehensive assessment of a person's willpower potential.

The higher the level of mental energy, the further you can go in the future, whether you become a mechanical source master or a mecha master.

The levels of mental energy are divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. Each level is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

Generally speaking, most people's willpower level is only D-level, and Zhao Yao's lower-level A-level evaluation is already considered an extremely rare genius.

"By the way, Dad, don't forget to buy me the gene optimization potion and advanced holographic watch that you promised me last time!" Zhao Yao added.

"Okay, okay! You are worthy of being my son! Don't worry, I will buy you what I promised you, even if I have to take out a loan!
However, you can't be complacent about this.

With such a good talent, you have to work harder.

Whether our family can live a good life depends entirely on you."

Zhao Tian laughed and patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder.

Having said this, he paused and turned his gaze to Zhao Ying standing beside him.

"Xiaoying, what are the results of your energy test this time?"

Zhao Ying's movement of lowering her head to eat froze slightly, and her voice was a little dull: "D-level medium."

Zhao Ying and Zhao Yao are twins, a boy and a girl, born only half a minute apart, but the difference in their learning abilities is huge.

Zhao Yao has always been at the top of his class since he was a child, even though he didn't study much. He was easily admitted to the top middle school in Xiacheng District. He is a true genius.

Even though Zhao Ying studied very hard, her grades were barely average, and she was eventually admitted to an ordinary middle school.

Although Zhao Tian was mentally prepared when he heard the result, his face instantly turned gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"With this level of energy, what university can I get into?"

He spoke, but his eyes were looking at Zhao Yao on the side.

aside.

Zhao Yao shook his head and explained.

"For universities that involve mechanical or mecha masters, the energy level requirements are not low, the lowest level must be C.

Xiaoying is a D-level average student. Even if she gets full marks in academic subjects, she can only go to an ordinary university."

"In that case, Xiaoying."

Zhao Tian turned his gaze to Zhao Ying, and his tone became unusually gentle.

“Once you graduate from high school, stop studying.

I'll find you a job so that you can help ease the burden on your family.

Earn more money to support your brother. He is our family's hope.

When he becomes successful, our whole family will be able to enjoy the happiness together."

Xu Yun, the mother standing by, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhao Tian's eyes, she didn't speak in the end.

"I understand, Father."

Zhao Ying was silent for a long time, but finally nodded.

"Don't worry, little sister! When I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness!"

Zhao Yao chuckled.

Zhao Ying didn't say anything else, but just lowered her head, stared at the food in the bowl, and continued eating mechanically.

The family continued to discuss and chat.

However, no one noticed that the bronze cross medal in Zhao Ying's pocket flashed quietly.

……

After dinner, Zhao Ying helped wash the dishes and returned to her room.

Lying in bed, thinking back to the previous conversation.

Although I know that doing this at home is the best option.

But she still felt a little unwilling.

Unfortunately, the level of mental energy is there and it cannot be compensated by simple efforts.

A genius is born a genius.

It's useless to chase after him.

Sudden.

A cold and mechanical voice sounded.

"Ding! The top predator system of the food chain is activated!
Initial task released: Thirty sit-ups!

Please start the mission within ten seconds! Ten, nine, eight..."

The source of the sound seemed to be in my mind.

"Zhao Yao? What are you doing again? If you do this again, I will tell my parents!"

Zhao Ying sat up suddenly, looked around, and had a grim expression on his face.

She suspected that this was a prank by her brother Zhao Yao.

She has experienced similar pranks countless times since she was a child.

However, the sound did not stop.

"...One...Zero! The countdown has reached zero! It has been detected that the host has not completed the mission, and punishment will be imposed!"

In an instant, Zhao Ying didn't even have time to react, a violent bioelectric current swept through her body like a surging tide.

Her originally straight back suddenly fell backwards, hit the bed heavily, and then began to twitch violently uncontrollably.

His eyes rolled up uncontrollably, leaving only the whites of his eyes, and his hair stood upright due to the electric current.
