I became Superman

Zhou Ming suddenly felt a little confused.

If his body is enhanced in every way, then his mind should also be enhanced.

If he had a super brain, he could probably unleash his power even better.

Does he actually possess the ability of a super brain?

Zhou Ming thought about it carefully and felt that he should have this ability.

The evidence is that in his previous encounters with others, in that tense and excited state, he felt that time slowed down, and all his potential was mobilized and mastered.

In that state, his mind was very active, and he was able to grasp all the information around him.

He speculated that the phenomenon of time slowing down was actually a manifestation of accelerated thinking.

If a person's thinking ability were increased tenfold, they would be able to process more information in the same amount of time, making time seem to slow down in comparison.

However, it's become very difficult for Zhou Ming to get into that state.

Perhaps he had already built up confidence in his own abilities, so he was not easily afraid of his enemies and therefore did not enter that tense state.

Just like that old vampire from earlier, who should be considered a powerful figure among the outcasts, yet he didn't show any fear whatsoever.

Moreover, he cannot rely on this passive mode.

He should proactively explore how to utilize his superior thinking.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

Why doesn't he try to test his thinking speed?

This not only helps determine whether his thinking speed has improved, but also serves as a form of training.

Zhou Ming recalled that one way to test a computer's computing speed was to have the computer calculate pi and see how many decimal places it could calculate in one second.

This method is also a good way to test his thinking.

For ordinary people, calculating pi mentally without using any arithmetic tools is incredibly difficult. At most, they can calculate it to seven or eight decimal places, which is already considered very impressive.

If he can far exceed the limits of ordinary people, it means he has a super brain.

Moreover, he can estimate the computing power of his super brain based on the number of bits he calculates.

It's a perfect method.

Zhou Ming's understanding of pi calculations was not in-depth; he only knew the classic Ma Qing formula.

That is:

π/4 = 4arctan(1/5)-arctan(1/239)

Arctan is an infinite series.

arctan(x)= x - x³/3 + x⁵/5 - x⁷/7 +...

In other words, the higher the series he chooses, the more accurate the value of pi will be.

Zhou Ming pondered Ma Qing's formula and began to do mental calculations.

He immediately realized that his thinking was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

It is at least much stronger than it was before.

He didn't believe he could have calculated in his head that the ugly 1/239 equals 0.00418410041841 in an instant...

Moreover, he also had to perform various exponentiations and additions/subtractions on this ugly number.

The initial process of calculating pi was very difficult.

He always forgets the calculations he did before.

But as he kept trying, he became more and more skilled.

It's as if he has powerful computing power in his brain, but his daily life doesn't require such high computing power, so it has been idle. Now, as he takes on more difficult tasks, this computing power is finally activated.

He created two computational streams in his mind to compute the two sub-terms of Ma Qing's formula, and then created a new computational stream to coordinate the computational results of the two sub-terms, thus obtaining an approximate result of pi.

Zhou Ming felt as if his brain was an awakened monster, operating at a speed unimaginable to ordinary humans.

……

Emergency ward, affiliated hospital of the Heterogeneous Center.

The members of the combat readiness department stared sullenly at Cao Ying and Ning Shang on the hospital beds.

Kusakura's eyes were already wrapped in bandages, her eyeballs were corroded by the old vampire's blood poison, and the doctor had no choice but to gouge them out. Her lower leg was also broken, and the severed limb was swallowed by the old vampire's shadow.

This little girl is only fourteen years old, yet she has suffered such heavy pain; this is all due to the incompetence of these people.

Everyone in the war preparedness department felt an overwhelming sense of shame and humiliation.

Compared to Cao Ying, Ning Shang's situation is even more dire; his life force is still rapidly diminishing.

He had no wounds, but his organs were aging rapidly. According to the doctor's examination, his vital signs had aged to the age of over fifty. At this rate of aging, he might pass away peacefully tomorrow morning.

Both men were afflicted with injuries, and there was nothing they could do.

They could not alleviate their pain, nor could they even avenge them.

The Alien Center has yet to detect any trace of the two vampires.

They were part of the guardian order protecting the city for the emperor, yet they could do nothing, allowing two vampires to wreak havoc in the city.

The swordsman gripped his longsword tightly, his knuckles turning blue.

Yi Jia Hui stayed by Cao Ying's bedside, displaying cat-like characteristics, allowing Cao Ying to pinch her ears, her eyes brimming with tears, and sobbing occasionally.

Cao Ying laughed and said, "Sister Cat, don't be sad for me. My eyes have always caused me trouble. Because of these eyes, I, such a young girl, have to be exploited by these beasts in the alien center. If it weren't for their money and sweet talk, I would have quit long ago."

"Now I can finally retire legitimately. Hey, swordsman, this is considered a work injury, so don't try to embezzle my compensation."

The swordsman forced a bitter smile.

Yi Jiahui wiped away her tears and said, "Who's sad for you? You're the one who pinched my ear too hard. Besides, my surname is Yi, not Cat."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Kusaka quickly loosened her grip, but couldn't bear to completely let go of the cat ears.

Unfortunately, you can only touch it with your hands, not see it with your eyes.

We won't be able to see it anymore.

Kusa Sakura felt a pang of pain in her heart, and the fake smile on her face turned into a strange expression that was both crying and laughing.

Looking at Cao Ying's expression, Yi Jiahui felt even more sorry for her.

She asked, "Sword Master, have you found those two vampires? We can't let them get away like this!"

The swordsman remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in ages.

"To hunt down vampires, especially those that can summon shadows, you have to rely on astral reading."

The swordsman said bitterly, "Now that we don't have any Qi Observers, it's impossible for us to find them. And even if we did find them, we wouldn't be able to stop them from escaping."

"Those two vampires have the ability to transform into shadows and bats. At night, the entire earth becomes their cover, so there's no way we can catch them."

"The failure of this mission is entirely my fault, and I will accept punishment afterward. However, I swear, even as a personal agent, I will find those two vampires, kill them, and avenge Cao Ying and Ning Shang!"

Swordsman understood that with the cunning and power of those two vampires, he might have to spend his entire life fulfilling this vow, and might even die at the hands of the two vampires in the process.

But he couldn't run away, because he owed them this.
