Although she appeared as indifferent as usual, Cheng Fei, based on his familiarity with her, sensed that she was emotional.
"There's nothing to be angry about. I just didn't expect you to actually put those shameful and filthy desires of yours into practice on a vixen. Cheng Fei, it's really convenient to have a girl who is obedient to you and has good looks, isn't it?" The silver-haired girl sneered.
"If you don't mind, could you elaborate on what it is? I don't think I did anything." The boy remained calm.
"Heh, still putting on an act here, Cheng Fei. I could see it clearly from the transparent trash bag that vixen left by the door." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes, her tone emphasizing.
"What did you see? A balloon? That's normal..."
“Cheng Fei, don’t tell me that the disgusting stuff on her discarded over-the-knee socks has nothing to do with you.”
The boy's explanation was interrupted by the girl's chilling words. As she spoke, the girl's face was pale, as if the scene of her memory was still vivid in her mind.
The boy choked up, paused for a second, and then asked, "Shen Xi, is this something you care about a lot?"
"I was crazy before. When I heard you say those things, I actually thought that if there was a one in a billion chance that we would unfortunately get married, I would try to correct and treat you. Now it seems that was a complete waste of my energy. A rotten person like you who is terminally ill should be cremated as soon as possible." The girl gritted her teeth, her expression filled with a kind of hatred for her misfortune and resentment at her lack of self-control.
The boy's expression hardened, and he immediately said, "I understand. I won't do this with her next time. I'll do it with you in the future. Actually, I was just trying it out with her casually. It's true that you're the one I want most for this kind of thing, Shen Xi."
"The future what?" The girl shivered, her brows furrowed, as if she doubted her ears.
"If we do it in the future, aren't you bothered by the fact that I said I really liked your small, soft feet, but then you went and did it with her first?" the boy said cautiously.
Shen Xi's pupils contracted. "Cheng Feiyu's delusions have reached such an absurd level? Please get this straight. I said that if there's a one in a billion chance of us getting married, I'll correct you. Get this straight, I absolutely cannot satisfy your twisted and perverted fetishes."
"But this is all your fault, you should take responsibility, right? Some things, once changed, can never be undone. If you promise to do it in the future, I will never do this with her again, okay?" the boy said seriously.
Shen Xi's eyes lost focus, and she continued carrying her things, no longer looking at him. "That's enough, Cheng Fei. Pretend I didn't say anything. Do whatever you want with that vixen, it's none of my business. I thought I could save you, but now it seems I should just give up. You might as well just turn into a stinking pile of mud."
"You're exaggerating, Teacher Shen. There are many things we can try when we're together in the future. I love you from head to toe. Don't give up on any possibilities."
"Shut up, stop talking, I'm going to throw up." Shen Xi looked embarrassed and covered her mouth with a serious expression.
In a cryptic conversation, the two of them, along with Leia, completed the preparations for their departure, and then called on Shadow, who had devoured several bowls of local specialties until he was so full he started burping.
After several days of repairs on the floating island, the teardrop-shaped airship slowly lifted off the ground, its tail nozzles glowing with faint, scattered light, as it accelerated toward the distant horizon.
459. The Ultimate Light Magic Weapon
As the airship entered cruising mode, Shen Xi buried himself in the aerial map in the cockpit, muttering to himself, "At the current pace, reaching Riften City within a month shouldn't be a problem."
"Excuse me, what kind of place is Riften City?" Cheng Fei asked casually, standing to the side.
Shen Xi glanced at him sideways, then looked away, remaining indifferent and silent.
"Teacher Shen, may I ask..."
"I don't want to talk to a fickle and filthy piece of trash," the girl interrupted him coldly.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was just momentarily blinded by greed. Since you care so much, I will not repeat the mistake of being unfaithful to your little and adorable feet." The boy clasped his hands together.
"You're spouting nonsense again. Nobody here cares about your shady thoughts. Cheng Fei, I want to ask you why you're even alive? Is it because you've increased the disgust level of this planet by 400%?" Shen Xi glared at him fiercely. Her tangible hatred and disgust made even the shadowy figure, who was crouching in the corner with his knees drawn up in a daze, and Leia, who was steering the ship, tremble for no reason.
The boy stroked his chin and raised an eyebrow. "So you mean I have eight-tenths of the world's best resources? I never imagined I was so outstanding in your eyes."
Shen Xi took a deep breath and pinched the space between her eyebrows.
"Teacher Shen, personal matters aside, I still want to know where Riften is. Aren't we supposed to go to the roots of the World Tree?" the boy said seriously.
Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and said in an emotionless tone, "Riften City is a transit point between the upper and lower airspaces. That floating continent is rich in light magic crystals and has a very developed trade. We'll go to Riften City to resupply first, and then go to the Tree Roots."
"I see. So Riften City isn't Imperial territory anymore, right? Is it dangerous?"
"Riften has long been a neutral place in this world, so there's no need to worry about that."
"That's good." Cheng Fei nodded to indicate that he understood.
Shen Xi ignored him and took out a stack of yellowed papers to read, her brows furrowing slightly from time to time.
Cheng Fei subtly moved a step behind her and looked at the same thing with her. After a moment, he asked, "Teacher Shen, what are you looking at this time?"
"It's like the sun has risen in the west. Cheng Feiyu, who used to be perfunctory when he came online and even made excuses to dump the work of dealing with the cooling water on me, is actually concerned about this today." Shen Xi sneered without looking up.
"I gave you the cooling water because I figured Leia could help anyway. My little darling has worked hard taking care of the housework, so of course I wanted to spend more time with you today." Cheng Fei tried to pat her head, but was deterred by the girl's gaze.
"Ha, I think it's because they have a guilty conscience."
"Teacher Shen, if you continue with this attitude, I'll go back to your place right now and confiscate the socks you're wearing."
The girl's expression changed drastically, "Cheng Fei? Don't be crazy!"
"Then please speak to me properly. What exactly are you looking at?"
"You piece of trash, threatening me again!" Shen Xi glared at him through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing as she turned her face away. "These are Robertstein's notes."
"Who is Robertstein again?"
Shen Xi turned to look at him, her eyes widening slightly. "Has Cheng Feiyu's memory deteriorated to this extent? The owner of the Light Magic Workshop in Yongquan Town."
"I remember now, that old man." Cheng Fei seemed to suddenly realize something. "Before we set sail, you said you had looked at all the useful things in the workshop. So you were just bragging?"
Shen Xi scoffed at him, "Hypocritical Cheng Feiyu is judging others by his own standards again. He just thought these few pages of drafts were important, so he brought them on board to study them separately."
"Okay, so what's this calculation? It actually caught the attention of the Protoss Queen." Cheng Fei examined the notebook filled with dazzling formulas and symbols.
Shen Xi remained silent for a moment, her brows furrowed in thought as if considering how to explain. "Cheng Fei, do you remember what the light magic weapon in this world fires?"
The boy thought for a moment, "You mentioned before that it was powder from Light Magic Crystal?"
The girl nodded. "Under high temperature and pressure, the powder of the Light Magic Crystal will be activated, just like gunpowder being ignited. The activated Light Magic particles converge through the cannon barrel made of special material, and finally form the particle beam seen on the surface."
"I understand, so?"
“In this process, the light magic particles may not have truly disappeared, but rather changed form like a chemical reaction.” Shen Xi pinched his chin.
"So this is the gaseous light magic particle we previously speculated about?" Cheng Fei looked at her.
“Maybe, but that’s not important. What’s important is that Robertstein thinks there’s still a lot of energy trapped inside the activated light magic particles. If this energy is released, it will be countless times greater than that of normal activation, and it will completely consume the light magic particles.” Shen Xi stared intently at the notes in her hand.
Cheng Fei paused, then hesitated, "Could this so-called bound energy actually be nuclear energy?"
“Using nuclear energy isn’t quite appropriate, since light magic particles, as supernatural matter, are unlikely to follow a standard atomic structure. But you can understand it that way if you insist. In any case, he invented the relevant theory and finally concluded that the intrinsic energy of a light magic particle is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light and then multiplied by a coefficient,” Shen Xi said softly.
Cheng Fei was shocked. "Holy crap, isn't that similar to the mass-energy equivalence equation? Light Magic Crystals can be used to make nuclear bombs?"
"Maybe so, but he probably didn't figure it out either. Even the theory isn't perfect yet. I just deduced it from these messy notes." Shen Xi flipped through the yellowed papers in her hand.
Cheng Fei stared intently at the so-called notes, then suddenly realized something. "Teacher Shen, do you think paper in this world is normally white or yellow?"
Shen Xi frowned. "What do you mean?"
“These things you found might be his research results from many years ago. It seems he really is the greatest light magic craftsman in the world.” Cheng Fei shrugged, shook his head and sighed, and casually said, “Considering that there is a war between the upper and lower levels, the world’s first light magic nuclear bomb might explode one day.”
Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the world of Elkonis.
A dusty, new high-speed airship slowly docked at the orderly wharf.
Hundreds of airships of varying sizes are moored here, their masts and cables forming a spiderweb-like canopy over the sky. Workers, sweating profusely, move back and forth carrying goods, and shouts and calls fill the air, with a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
If you look closely, you'll see that the heavy, long wooden crates that the workers are carrying are filled with brand-new Light Magic rifles wrapped in oil paper.
The hatch of the new high-speed airship opened, and with the help of a servant, the disheveled old man with silver hair, holding a cane, walked off the ship with steady steps.
A group of people dressed in matching dark green uniforms, their backs straight, came before him. Their leader saluted him with a solemn expression.
The old man responded by taking off his hat and nodding.
Amidst the sidelong glances of passersby, the old man was escorted by this group of people onto a carriage, which then headed off into the distance.
……
460. Cheng Fei finds a brand new way to exercise.
Cheng Fei removed his infiltration helmet. It was afternoon, and the weather in Academy City was fine and sunny. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there was no risk of the city being destroyed by some kind of nuclear bomb.
The boy's phone popped up with a message from Lin Xuanqi.
Cheng Fei
"Hurry up and log on to play the Corridor with me."
He opened his laptop and casually snapped a picture of the development interface.
"I'm writing code, honey."
"Cheng Fei, you dare not come, huh?"
"I'm giving you 200 million to revise the algorithm. I can go to South Bay to be with you, but playing games is out of the question. /Praying"
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"Okay, then good luck, honey~ I'm resting today, I'll wear your favorite school uniform and tights tomorrow, hehe."
Looking forward to it, see you tomorrow!
The boy turned off WeChat expressionlessly, put on his coat and went out. After a while, he returned carrying several servings of hamburgers and fried chicken, a box of milk and a bag of various fruits.
It contains all the nutrients necessary for the human body to maintain its health, including amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
In theory, as long as these foods are fully utilized, the body can become stronger quickly. Of course, this is just theory. Normal people are limited by their metabolic rate, so even if they have enough nutrients, they cannot absorb them.
Of course, it's common knowledge that Cheng Fei is no longer a normal person.
After the school sports meet, the boy discovered that his physical attribute experience bar, which had been increasing at a snail's pace for a long time, had actually increased by a small but noticeable amount, so he had a brilliant idea.
The boy placed the food on the table, changed into a sports t-shirt, and took out the fitness equipment that he hadn't used for a long time because it didn't provide enough stimulation to his muscles.
With everything prepared, Cheng Fei sat on the dumbbell bench and activated Time Zero, maintaining the slow speed at five times.
Since there were no moving objects in the room, the boy could only rely on the clock on the table, whose seconds seemed to have stopped, to confirm that his time had slowed down.
Under these circumstances, he picked up the dumbbells loaded with weights and began to perform bench presses with normal movements.
In the zero-time state, the same action requires far more force than under normal circumstances. The air is as thick as paste, and even Cheng Fei finds it difficult to move in it.
It was as if everything had returned to a long time ago, when he had just bought a bunch of fitness books and equipment, and was working hard with gritted teeth, filled with hatred for Lin Xuanqi.
However, if a normal person could see the scene inside the room, they would definitely suspect that they were hallucinating.
From the perspective of normal time flow, the boy is lifting dumbbells at a speed that leaves a blur, as if the video has been fast-forwarded. The heavy dumbbells bring an unsettling low whistling sound to the air, and the terrifying kinetic energy they carry makes it hard to imagine how a human arm could withstand it.
During this exercise, the boy quickly became drenched in sweat, his taut muscles were clearly defined and hard as iron, and his bulging veins resembled gnarled tree roots.
After performing basic push-up movements with both hands for a while, Cheng Fei withdrew from the table and, as if he had been starving for days, wolfed down the food on the table, eating a two-person fast food meal in one go, then slurping down a carton of milk, and eating a few bananas.
After resting for ten minutes, the feeling of weakness quickly subsided, and the boy lay back on the yoga mat and began doing crunches.
The same movement speed, which looks like a distorted video when viewed over normal time, caused the sweat on the boy's forehead to be flung to the ceiling by the enormous inertia.
After exhausting himself, he stopped to eat and rest, and then switched to pull-ups.
This cycle of exercise continued until evening.
……
The next day.
Perhaps because he had exhausted too much energy yesterday, Cheng Fei ate two meals this morning. He ate one downstairs at home, and when he got to the entrance of Yinghua, he still felt hungry, so he went to eat a second meal.
For this reason, the boy, who usually arrives at his seat early to study, is late today. When he enters the classroom, most of the students are already there. The energetic high school students are noisy even on a Monday morning.
When the boy appeared with his hands in his pockets and a leisurely gait, someone shouted, "Cheng Fei is here!"
"Hey, it's Cheng Fei!"
People kept calling his name, and everyone turned to look at him. The eyes of both boys and girls were shining, as if they were facing an idol they admired, or as if they were watching an alien.
"Cheng Fei!"
"Cheng Fei!"
In the increasingly restless atmosphere, the students of Class 6, Grade 1, spontaneously clapped together. The enthusiastic applause echoed through the teaching building in the morning, causing students passing by to stop and peek through the glass. It was as if the basketball game from last week was continuing.
