My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 83 The Manifestation of Game Rules

The next moment, something magical happened—the originally blank folder had turned into a pure white icon.

An icon that can be opened by double-clicking.

Li Chen moved the mouse to open the icon, and a blank interface popped up.

To his surprise, he discovered that he seemed to be able to edit this blank interface, that is, to set the rules of the game.

Any rules for the game are acceptable?

Li Chen fell into deep thought: For games, you generally need to first define the target audience for the game —

But I'm not actually that interested in computer games; I just had a sudden urge to have some fun.

"Can I project the game's objectives into the real world?"

He suddenly had a brilliant idea: I can play this game by myself, like a single-player game.

With this in mind, he immediately put into words the rules he wanted to establish: [Playing from the perspective of a real-world skeleton, controlling the game character to travel and explore the world, requiring 100% freedom.]

In addition to this seemingly simple game rule, Li Chen also set up a void teleportation mechanism, requiring game characters to be able to teleport at will.

Of course, gaming skills are also essential.

He set up one slashing skill, one ranged attack skill, and later an area-of-effect attack skill, which is also his ultimate skill.

That's all for now. Let's see if it works.

Li Chen pressed the OK button.

However, the blank screen froze, and a pop-up window appeared: "[Current conditions do not support]".

Not supported?

Li Chen frowned slightly: Is it the computer hardware that's inadequate, or the software limitations? Or—are the game rules not strong enough?

He suddenly looked at the game he had previously re-downloaded, opened it, and continued collecting data.

[Game Rules +1]

Soon, another set of game rules was collected, and the newly downloaded game crashed again.

Following the previous steps, Li Chen restarted the frozen game, uninstalled it, and then re-downloaded it.

Because the computer Qin Xiaotian installed for him was a supercomputer, with an astonishingly fast operating speed, not to mention its download speed.

Even games that are hundreds of gigabytes in size can be downloaded completely in just half a minute, thanks to the amazing internet speed.

The game downloaded quickly, and he opened it again, then started collecting data, repeating this process over and over.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already evening outside.

By this time, Li Chen had already accumulated over a hundred [game rules].

He uninstalled the stuck 3D game again and then incorporated the collected game rules into the previously edited blank game.

After he incorporated all the collected game rules into the blank game in one go, he clicked submit again.

The next moment, a progress bar appeared.

"Click!"

The indoor lights dimmed instantly, as if they were insufficient.

Li Chen was taken aback, and got up in confusion to turn on the other lights, only to find that the other lights were the same.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he submitted the game, all the electrical appliances in the entire Yanhuang Academy suddenly stopped working.

Construction sites and countless machines that require electricity all suddenly stopped operating.

It wasn't a real power outage, but rather a lack of battery power.

"Boom—"

In some areas, sudden power outages have directly led to landslides, nearly injuring people.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

Everyone tensed up, thinking that a powerful enemy from another world had invaded.

Even Vice Principal Xiong Erkun and Principal Qin Xiaotian were startled and treated as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, a report was quickly sent directly to Qin Xiaotian from the power supply bureau dedicated to Yanhuang Academy.

Qin Xiaotian then realized that the place where Li Chen lived was suddenly frantically absorbing the current from the entire power grid.

What surprised him even more was that this absorption ignored all kinds of resistance.

Even if they are not on the same line, as long as they are from the same power source, they will be swallowed up.

Because that force is directed at all the current in this power grid.

Qin Xiaotian was dumbfounded, not knowing what Li Chen was up to.

Is it because of this game?

In the dimly lit room, Li Chen also realized that something was wrong.

Because he could sense the terrifying electric current in the wires buried in the walls.

-

But strangely, logically speaking, such a huge current should have burned out instantly, even if the wires were made of very high-grade materials.

However, the truth is that all of these wires were intact.

It was as if an invisible force was protecting these wires.

"Are the rules of the game spilling over into reality?" His eyes flickered, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

The main problem is that he himself cannot sense the so-called rules of the game.

The rules of that game seemed not to be any kind of energy, but rather a conceptual rule, completely different from the rules of heaven and earth that he had sensed before.

At this time, his teacher qualification certificate made a move again, through a communication from Qin Xiaotian.

Li Chen took out his teacher's certificate and selected to connect.

"Teacher Li Chen, what's the situation on your end?" Qin Xiaotian's voice came through.

"What's wrong?" Li Chen asked, puzzled.

He asked this question because he was unaware of the overall situation of the school, since it was quite far from the boundary marker.

Qin Xiaotian then recounted what had happened at the school.

Li Chen was immediately stunned.

It's important to know that Yanhuang Academy is quite large. Even though the area that has actually been built is small, the amount of electricity required by many electrical appliances is staggering.

Therefore, there is a hidden nuclear power plant inside the school.

Even so, the battery still ran out.

Could it be that my game is absorbing electricity and transforming it into game rules?

Or is it simply a manifestation that requires enormous energy?

Li Chen glanced at the computer screen and noticed the progress bar was only at one percent. He then said, "Principal, I have something to attend to. Could you give me one evening?"

"One night?!" Qin Xiaotian's voice unconsciously rose.

"This matter is somewhat important to me," Li Chen said.

"this----"

Qin Xiaotian hesitated for a moment: "Teacher Li Chen, the work that the school is currently undertaking is very important."

Li Chen said without changing his expression, "I can take on a few more students."

"This—" Qin Xiaotian was still somewhat hesitant.

Li Chen: "Ten, that's the most I can have."

"make a deal!"

Qin Xiaotian was immediately delighted and said, "Then I'll make the arrangements for you. Don't worry, Teacher Li Chen, the power will be cut off everywhere else tonight, only your area will be powered."

"Thank you, Principal." Li Chen smiled.

"However, Teacher Li Chen—"

Qin Xiaotian spoke again: "When are you going to stop being so busy?"

Li Chen glanced at the progress bar on his computer desktop and secretly estimated, "It should be finished before nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock? Okay."

Qin Xiaotian hung up the call, feeling both happy and puzzled: "What exactly is Teacher Li Chen doing that requires such a terrifying amount of battery power?"

He thought of Li Chen's ability to summon heavenly tribulations: "Could it be that he's cultivating? Does his cultivation method use household electricity?"
