I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

After thinking for a long time, Xue Jing suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, we need to deal with [the Hundred-Foot Pole]."

He looked at the mattress that he had destroyed with his 'spark'.

The mattress was completely soaked with his sweat while he was visualizing evolution, and it was a hassle to clean up, so Xue Jing decided to just throw it away. Testing his newly comprehended 'Sparkling Star' on it was just making use of waste.

On the mattress sits a bamboo pole that has grown much taller and is turning yellowish.

Xue Jing stepped forward, picked it up, and looked at it for a moment.

"Strange, the database doesn't show that [Reaching New Heights] will look like this after use."

Such obvious changes should generally be mentioned in the description of divine relics.

However, there is no record in the database that bamboo stalks turn yellow, and the increase in height should only be a small section, not the large increase seen now...

"It seems that Aban played a role in this... Well, [Contemplation - True] is clearly not a skill that can be obtained by simply increasing mental talent... I wonder if this thing will still be usable in the future."

Xue Jing looked at Bai Chi Gan Tou, who exuded a sense of utter exhaustion and listlessness, and felt a little strange.

According to Ning Yuantai, the "Hundred-Foot Pole" was taken from him by cutting in line, so after it was returned, he would definitely be the first user.

Hopefully, he can still use it.

"Anyway, let's deal with it first."

Xue Jing stretched out his palm, making a hand-blade gesture, channeling his strength, and slashed at the [Hundred-Foot Pole].

"Click——"

He cut off the part that had grown beyond the top of the pole.

Seeing this, Xue Jing nodded.

"That'll be fine."

Every divine relic has side effects, whether major or minor.

Reaching new heights naturally comes with its side effects.

After using the Hundred-Foot Pole, if you leave the bamboo nodes that grow out unattended, they will form a 'connection' with the user's body after three days.

When that time comes, if you cut the bamboo section again, the user's body will also be cut off.

However, if the bamboo is cut off within three days, the bamboo joint will be no different from an ordinary bamboo joint.

It's a very minor and easily manageable side effect...

The first person to trigger this side effect and subsequently discover it suffers a rather tragic fate.

After cutting the bamboo sections, Xue Jing sat down in a chair and rested for a while, feeling much more refreshed.

Because of the existence of "health preservation", his recovery speed is quite exaggerated, and it seems to be effective for mental strength as well.

"It seems that this 'telekinesis' technique is not very useful for the time being; even turning a page of a book is exhausting."

"Let's see if there are any other uses."

Xue Jing thought to himself.

He stood up, walked to the door, and reached out to turn the doorknob.

At the same time, the scene outside the door subconsciously appeared in my mind.

In the living room, Ning Fengwan was currently in her human form with cat ears, wearing a white shirt and black silk shorts, lying on her side on the sofa watching anime, and reaching for potato chips on the table.

She was slouching, her shirt wasn't worn properly, and the buttons were misaligned, one button off, leaving the top button unbuttoned and revealing a glimpse of her fair skin.

Xue Jing opened the door and walked into the living room. What came into view was the exact same scene as in his mind.

There was no difference whatsoever; even the details of the folds in Ning Fengwan's clothes were exactly the same.

"This is……"

Xue Jing was taken aback.

"Mental projection? Mental scanning?"

"No, it's a little different."

He stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

Seeing Xue Jing walk out of the room without the green bamboo ornament on his head, Ning Fengwan spoke in her sweet, childlike voice:

"Success?"

As she spoke, Ning Fengwan took a potato chip out of the bag and put it in her mouth.

With each opening and closing of her small mouth, her sharp canine teeth were faintly visible, which, combined with her narrow phoenix eyes, gave her a somewhat fierce and endearing appearance.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing snapped out of his reverie and nodded with a smile:

"Well, it worked."

Ning Fengwan's pretty face revealed joy, and she shrank into cat form.

"That's great! I haven't had your cooking for three days!"

To maintain his lazy state, Xue Jing really did almost nothing for the past three days, and the cooking was naturally all handled by the cat.

However, having been spoiled by Xue Jing's near-Level 6 cooking skills, she found that eating her own cooking was, to say the least, tasteless, if not unpalatable.

One or two meals were fine, but after three whole days without eating Xue Jing's cooking, she felt like she was experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Xue Jing sat down on the sofa, reached out and stroked her cat's head, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a good lunch."

The cat stretched, raised its paw and jumped onto Xue Jing's lap, squatted down, yawned, watched the animation, and its eyelids gradually closed, looking like it was about to fall asleep.

Xue Jing reached out and stroked its fur, thinking about what had happened when it had 'externalized its senses' and seen the living room.

"It feels like a mental projection of perception... rather, a 'real' imagination."

He pondered.

"Based on the sounds I heard before opening the door, [Visualization of Truth] captured the scene outside the door and displayed it in my mind."

"It is essentially 'imagination,' but this imagination is real!"

"Just as I used my mental powers to interfere with reality outside of myself, this imagination has reached the realm of the 'extraordinary'."

"It's not about projecting your mind outwards, but it's more effective than projecting your mind outwards!"

With a clear, pure, and powerful mental state, Xue Jing's thinking was almost unhindered, and he quickly deduced the truth.

"In that case... this kind of imagination that reaches the realm of reality should be able to do even more."

Xue Jing pondered for a moment, then gently closed his eyes.

He tried to construct a space-time in his mind that belonged only to his imagination.

In my mind, countless small pixel squares of different colors appeared out of thin air, sweeping across like a storm.

They combine and interlock, gradually building up a scene.

Xue Jing chose one of the places he was most familiar with: Qingfu Middle School.

The playground, teaching buildings, classrooms... everything is depicted in meticulous detail, just like the real Qingfu Middle School.

The scene model has been built.

Next up is the character data...

Countless pixel blocks formed a tornado, and after a series of combinations, Xue Jing's body appeared on the playground of Qingfu Middle School.

He looked at his hands, clenched his fists, and found that all the data of this body was exactly the same as his real self.

"Unbelievable...it actually works."

Xue Jing sighed.

"It is said that Nikola Tesla suffered from a strange form of paranoia, enabling him to conduct scientific experiments out of thin air through his own imagination..."

"Although I don't know if his paranoia is real, it's definitely not as real as mine."

Xue Jing muttered to himself:

"Next, it's time for the opponent..."

With a thought, he simulated all the data he remembered about the cockroach monster he encountered at Qingfu Middle School.

Instantly, a cluster of pixelated blocks appeared spinning not far in front of him, combining to form a monster with six insect legs and four huge thin wings.

"interesting……"

Xue Jing smiled and beckoned to the cockroach monster with his finger.

The other party seemed to understand the provocation, and immediately adopted a slightly crouching posture, opening and closing its mouthparts, bang!

The soil cracked, and cockroaches sprinted.

However, Xue Jing is no longer the same person he once was.

The superb dynamic vision clearly marked the cockroach monster's speed and route.

Just as the cockroach monster was about to collide with him, Xue Jing slightly shifted his body to the side, passing by the cockroach monster.

In that instant, he threw a punch at the cockroach monster that was charging forward.

With a surge of energy and boiling blood, like ten thousand sparks exploding, the force poured into the cockroach monster's abdomen through Xue Jing's fist.

The two passed each other, and the cockroach monster appeared dozens of meters behind Xue Jing, motionless.

Seconds later, the exoskeleton on its entire body trembled incessantly, revealing cracks and bulges of varying sizes.

"Bang!"

Immediately, its entire body exploded, spraying dark green slime everywhere.

Xue Jing had his back to the cockroach monster; a real man never looks back at an explosion.

"Shaking Starfire is the ultimate soft force, the ultimate defense-breaking technique that goes from point to surface, and is specifically designed to deal with opponents with tough skin."

"Most opponents are nothing special as long as you have the means to exploit their weaknesses."

Xue Jing was thrilled.
