Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 18 Memes and Wishing Machines
"A human-shaped wishing machine?"

Ji Donglai raised his eyebrows and looked at this entry with surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, Team Leader Ji." Yang Lao said:

"The above is the entry given by the Valuable Item Identification Technique. This life form from another world is actually a humanoid wish-making machine."

"The so-called skills are actually just what they materialize after making a wish. I suspect that every alien is a small self-wishing machine."

"Interesting, everyone has super powers? This is the truth about martial arts!" Ji Donglai said with regret in his eyes.

After all, they don't have the entry for the wishing machine, which proves that they can't practice those skills.

The self-preservation ability of people with super powers has always been incredibly weak, and they have only developed abnormally in one direction, resulting in very obvious strengths and weaknesses. It would be great if they could have this alien skill to make up for it.

"Team Leader Ji, the key point is actually the previous meme entry." Elder Yang reminded: "This small wishing machine has the function of self-replication and proliferation."

"As long as a life with the ability to think for itself comes into contact with it, it will be irreversibly infected and transformed into a human-shaped wish-making machine."

Ji Donglai was shocked when he heard this and said, "You mean..."

"Yes, the entries for the dozen or so people including Superman F should have a wishing machine meme added to them."

Elder Yang smiled bitterly and said, "In order to prevent the further spread of the meme, the entire Longyin base has been closed and isolated from the outside world. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"I'm afraid that's not necessary." Ji Donglai covered his head and said speechlessly: "I'm afraid there are people coming in and out of the other hundreds of places where energy tides erupt, and we can't stop them."

Ji Donglai was silent for a while and then said, "Let's do this for now. You guys continue to study the experimental material. I found a better one here. I'll send it to you when we catch it."

Before he could hang up the line, he saw a video call request from the King of Rotten Life, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Boss, something bad has happened." In the video, the rotten king said with a smile: "Guess what, hey, I lost that guy, he was so authentic."

Ji Donglai had a dark face and was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He said perfunctorily: "Okay, write a report yourself in a while, write a 30,000-word reflection on your feelings about this failure and give it to me. Also, don't video chat with me in the future. If there is anything, let your operator contact me."

"Come on, Lao Da, why are you so anxious? You're just teasing me..."

Without giving the King of Rottenness a chance to tell the old internet meme about the Great Destruction, Ji Donglai immediately hung up the phone and said to Mr. Li with a headache, "The experimental material I just mentioned has escaped. I'll send it to you after I catch it."

Elder Yang nodded, and then asked curiously, "Was that the one just now the Rotten Living King?"

After receiving Ji Donglai's affirmative answer, Mr. Yang immediately understood.

The so-called King of Bad Life is a guy who plays bad memes at all times and in all places. Sometimes he even mixes two or three popular internet memes and local jokes into one sentence. His reputation is so great that almost everyone has heard of him.

……

In the afternoon, after Fang Can finished his lunch break, he heard a loud bang coming from afar.

“Is there any demolition going on there?”

Fang Can frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, because the sound in the distance was a series of roars.

Not only him, but all the students in the classroom also looked towards the direction of the explosion, and when they looked up, they saw countless huge pillars of fire rushing up to the sky. "This is definitely a battle between people with super powers!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, throughout the city, one could see an invisible aura coming from the West City District of City Z, accompanied by a huge roar.

This feeling is like being late for work or school on Monday morning. Everyone feels heavy in the heart and has a slight sense of panic. The closer you are, the more obvious this feeling is.

10 kilometers away is the panic of being late for work, 5 kilometers away is the pressure of drawing the wrong card, and 1 kilometer away is the fear of finding yourself on the podium in front of everyone wearing only a pair of underwear...

As for being within a hundred meters, it is no longer stressful. Ordinary people will lose consciousness instantly if they get close.

"This feeling..." Fang Can couldn't help but frowned: "Why does it feel so familiar? It should be a psychic superpower, right?"

Just as Fang Can was thinking, a huge column of fire in the distance had begun to spread, and the roar began to move towards the city center, followed by an air raid alarm that resounded throughout the city.

As the alarm sounded, the entire city began to evacuate in an orderly and skilled manner. Such incidents occurred several times a year and were no longer uncommon.

I followed the rest of the school in evacuation silently, but everyone knew that this time it was another false alarm.

Because in the past, battles between people with super powers basically did not last long and were usually over within a few minutes.

Sure enough, within two minutes, Fang Can, who was still walking down the stairs, heard the air raid alarm stop and the column of fire in the distance disappeared. Then the teacher turned around and began to notify everyone to continue the class.

"I knew it was always like this..."

"What a bummer! If I had held on a little longer, I wouldn't have to go to class today..."

"Boring, I want to see a river of blood..."

Listening to the whispered complaints of his classmates beside him, Fang Can did not join the discussion, but wondered in his heart, was the inexplicable pressure just now really just a coincidence?
Not being disrupted by the little episode of the battle between the super-powered people, Fang Can continued to study step by step, pretending to be an ordinary student.

Compared to his previous life in another world, when he trained until his hands cramped every day and occasionally had to self-harm to train his natural body, his current studies can be described as relaxing.

But the more comfortable he was, the more uncomfortable Fang Can felt, as if he was wasting his time in the classroom.

After all, in a situation where you could be teleported to another world at any time, who knows what the situation in that other world is like? Any improvement would be good.

Knowing that this inexplicable feeling of irritability was of no help to him, Fang Can swallowed a grain of arsenic while studying, allowing the calmness of genius mode to suppress his negative emotions.

'I can't spend too much time in school. I can learn all the knowledge I have now in one night. Next, I should think about how to get out of the learning stage of school.'

Fang Can thought calmly, wondering how long it would take for the body to heal after breaking an arm or a thigh.

And whether this approach is more cost-effective compared to the learning time gained.

Taking various considerations into consideration, a day's study passed quickly. After returning home, Fang Can paused slightly before taking out the key from his pocket, and then continued to open the door as if nothing had happened.

But only he knew that his talent for turning bad luck into good luck had been passively activated, and his enhanced intuition enabled him to sense that there was a predator at the top of the food chain hidden in the room.
