No need for pen and paper, no need for scratch paper, just close your eyes, furrow your brow, and the answer is given.
If the three of them hadn't just stood there watching, they would have definitely thought they were using scientific tools.
Although Director Zhang couldn't understand it, he was deeply shocked.
What happened the next day was even more shocking.
This time, Li Xia and his team requested three classrooms, each equipped with a screen that could project the lectures from the other two classrooms onto the screen, while the sound was transmitted through headphones hanging on their ears.
Black Charcoal went to the Electromagnetism classroom, Aowu went to the Classical Mechanics classroom, and Li Xia remained in the Advanced Mathematics classroom.
How can carbon-based organisms learn three courses simultaneously?
It's a genuine three-door system!!!
Multitasking?
After the seven-day course, their progress was equivalent to that of an average student for two years. What a monster!
"Thank you, teachers."
Li Xia's gaze swept over the three of them, and after thinking for a moment, he turned to Director Zhang and said:
"Director Zhang, please give my contact information to these people. If I'm not here, please answer the call for me. You should be able to do that."
Director Zhang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Surveillance was a given, how could it not be? But there are different kinds of surveillance. The kind that involves sending people to keep an eye on someone is just incredibly stupid!
They were only observing Li Xia from the sidelines, such as his clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and even checking what he viewed through his online accounts. They could analyze far too much from these observations.
As for monitoring phone usage from the backend... isn't that basic operation?
Thanks to the various apps for their relentless collection of user information; they don't even need to leave backdoors, as they've already done it themselves.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean."
Director Zhang didn't even wipe the sweat from his forehead, which meant he wasn't going to hold a grudge, which was a good thing.
The impact of these seven days of courses on the entire countermeasures department was no less than that of Li Xia's influence.
What is more terrifying than superpowers?
It means possessing both super strength and a super brain.
..............
On a distant island, Li Xia's true form slowly opened her eyes. Although the head housekeeper, Helen, had gone to Jinling to work as a nanny, as an android, she could return to this place at any time through the local area network between androids to command the other housekeeping robots to maintain the manor.
Li Xia stood up and once again followed the lush green path to the Spiritual Time Chamber.
In the endless white light, his consciousness once again entered that wondrous place.
The snow on the cliffs remains unchanged, and the wild plum blossoms, still blooming in the ice crevice, are still in full bloom, with three withered flowers swaying in the wind.
The cabin, however, seemed much more real because of Li Xia's needs, and the originally narrow top cliff appeared much larger.
It turned into a large open space covered with snow.
Li Xia stretched out his hand, and golden light condensed in front of his palm until a scroll appeared in his hand. He tossed it into the air, and the scroll unfurled on its own.
[Whether or not to imprint the spiritual land of the snow-capped mountains]
Li Xia roughly defined the distance, and then another prompt popped up in front of her.
[The current printing area requires 30 pigment points. Print now?]
After the selection was made, the entire scroll suddenly began to fluctuate violently, growing larger and larger in Li Xia's slightly astonished gaze until it unfolded into a huge scroll like a sky curtain.
Finally, endless radiance poured down from the blank scroll, and at the same time, patterns resembling ink paintings gradually emerged on the blank scroll.
After the freehand landscape painting was completely copied, the "Mountains and Rivers" map was shrunk down again and fell into Li Xia's hands.
Li Xia weighed it in his hand. From this moment on, this artifact of destiny could finally be considered truly usable.
The scroll once again turned into golden light and dissipated. Li Xia arrived at the familiar spot, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and began to practice breathing exercises.
Once you've mastered the profound mysteries of the Eight or Nine Heavens, you can roam freely in the world.
His breath swirled and condensed into wisps of white smoke around Li Xia, eventually drifting upwards and gathering together to form a small, mysterious auspicious cloud.
.............
[Executioner, your current stay in the real world has reached the minimum requirement.]
Should we return to the Hall of Light?
"Yes"
Welcome back to...the Hall of Light!
The three little ones returned to the hall with eager eyes, impatient to test their learning results.
"I have been studying the Great Dao of Supreme Mechanics for the past few days, delving into it day by day. I find it quite profound and have already grasped three-tenths of its true meaning. I wish to go to the training ground to test the Great Dao!"
He coughed twice, then gave Heitan and Xiaotian a serious look:
"Second brother, third brother, would you like to come with me?"
The charcoal-colored creature raised its claws:
"Meow!"
The kitten was also learning about electromagnetism, but it was basically starting from scratch, so the professor had to start teaching it from junior high school level. However, on the last day, the kitten still discussed with the professor how to make its 'electromagnetic cannon' even more powerful.
This time, we've done a thorough optimization and are just about to test its power.
As for Xiaotian... after watching Inuyasha for seven days, it felt incredibly strong and even wanted to buy a 'Tessaiga'!
Li Xia was about to speak when the communicator suddenly vibrated. He picked it up, looked at it, and immediately went outside.
There was only one sentence on the communicator.
[Madaou: Your devastating slingshot is ready. Come over here when you have time.]
[Li Xia: I'll be there soon!]

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote
Sorry, sorry, there will only be one update today.
The main topic of discussion today was the authors themselves; it's probably all over the author groups. People are either expressing their support or just watching the drama unfold. The entire afternoon was basically spent in heated debate and gossip. Platinum-level and top-tier authors joined in the flame war, followed closely by superstar authors with tens of thousands of subscribers. We mid-level authors cheered them on, since it concerns our own interests.
Simply put, our authors and editors agree that Qidian's current operational strategy is problematic.
Diaanniang is a reading app, and that's what matters. It shouldn't focus its energy on things like creating romantic pairings, selling merchandise, or promoting female protagonists in male-oriented content, while the operations team promotes female protagonists on Xiaohongshu.
Reading apps should focus on novels, making reading more comfortable and affordable for readers, providing a better reading experience, and prioritizing readers. They should avoid fancy rating systems and selling products.
Chapter 7 Cloud Piercing Bow, Silver Conch Shot (6K)
Li Xia pushed open the gate to the courtyard and saw Ma Da'ou holding a beautiful-looking longbow, facing away from her, baring his teeth and desperately trying to draw it.
Despite Madaro's bulging arm muscles and flushed face as he strained, the bow's limbs remained completely still; only the elastic bowstring was stretched into a slight arc.
Madao caught a glimpse of the commotion at the door out of the corner of his eye. His face instantly became calm and indifferent, only the bulging veins on his forehead revealed just how much force he had used.
He calmly and slowly retracted the bowstring, instead of releasing it without firing:
"Yes, I've tested it for you, and this bow is excellent!"
"Actually, you can just leave it empty, since you didn't open it up at all just now."
Li Xia walked over, as if stating something obvious. Ma Da'ou jumped up and shouted things like, "You've slandered my innocence! I'm strong enough to lift mountains and my spirit can overwhelm the world! Don't you even know what a blacksmith is?"
However, neither of them really cared. The important breakthrough from friends to best buddies was that they stopped being polite and started teasing each other. When they both wanted to be each other's father, that's when they became brothers.
The bow felt heavy in my hand, reflecting a faint metallic luster. The bow was quite long, about 1.4 meters long, with a light golden dragon sinew rope repeatedly twisted and coiled into a single strand, and a pouch of some unknown material attached to the middle.
"Generally speaking, bows are made of wood, which is both hard and flexible. It is difficult for metal materials to surpass wood in forming particularly excellent longbows."
With his hands behind his back, Ma Da'ou's voice carried a subtle pride unique to artisans:
"But this is a palace, a land of miracles, Pilat Alman Alloy, or Pilat Alman for short, a metal with incredible properties."
Possessing exceptional elasticity and hardness, it's the best bow-making material you can find among fourth-tier materials.
Li Xia nodded, admiring the longbow in his hand repeatedly. The metal bow was engraved with exquisite patterns, and its style was simple and ancient. It was obvious that Madaou had taken inspiration from the style of ancient China and added some elements of the cultivation of immortality.
Simply holding it, the feeling of being completely integrated with the body is exceptionally comfortable, and a sense of joy arises spontaneously.
"However, there's something I need to tell you first."
Madaro frowned and sighed:
"It seems that the junk collectors from the eight major guilds and Hell Echoes are about to make a big move, frantically buying up materials in the market, causing the price of precious raw materials to rise sharply."
Well, these materials cost one Time-Space Copper Coin, plus 15 Hall Points.
Li Xia was startled and looked up:
"They're using time-space coins now?"
"Yes, I know that even the apostles are short of this. If you don't have it, just leave it for now. There's no need to rush to give it to me. Improving yourself is the most important thing. As long as you're alive, there's hope."
Madaro waved his hand, as if to say, "I understand."
"It's not that exaggerated, I'm not that lacking."
Li Xia flicked his hand and released a shiny time-space copper coin. He didn't really need it, especially now that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was usable, which could accelerate time by a moment, and each moment was equal to 480 days, which was much more cost-effective than using copper coins alone.
Guild skills can also reliably generate copper coins, so he has a surplus of copper coins.
"You really don't need it? What I mean is, we're allies. You should use this copper coin for yourself first to improve your strength."
Madao took the copper coin but didn't put it away. Instead, he looked at Li Xia seriously and said...
"Okay, take it. But what do you need the money for?"
"Hey, although employees don't need to improve their strength, the trading value of Time-Space Coins is extremely high. Sometimes when you can't buy very rare materials with Hall Points, you can add coins, and it usually works well."
Those top-tier craftsmen all keep some coins on hand, more or less.
No wonder, the coins are not only collected by the apostles, but also used by the workers. It is normal that they have such high transaction value. Scarcity makes things valuable.
Li Xia nodded and looked at the bow in his hand.
[Untitled]
[Grade: Orange (Tier 4)]
【Origin: Guangming Hall Madaou Blacksmith Shop】
【Durability: 200/200】
[Requirement: 60 Strength]
[Bow power: 50 stones-300 stones]
Attack Strength: 12-18 (Increases with draw strength within effective range)
1. Adamantite Bow Arm: Increases damage dealt by an additional 15%.
2. Dragon Sinew Bowstring: Initial velocity increased by 20% upon firing.
3. Recoil: Releasing the bowstring will cause shock damage to the surrounding area, the damage being equal to the bow's draw force.
[Summary: Is this bow actually usable by anyone? If it were ever drawn, it would be an absolutely terrifying weapon!]
No!】
"Waiting for you to name it. Give it a try. It hasn't been tested. The machine can do it, but a machine... has no soul."
Madaro seemed to remember something, and pulled a small leather pouch out of his pocket:
"These are silver conch shells, which are quite expensive. There are several different specifications of shells, and the most expensive one is comparable to those armor-piercing bullets."
There's no way around it; this is purely a kinetic energy weapon. Only rare alloys can withstand projectiles traveling at hundreds of times the speed of sound.
The armor-piercing bullets inside the hall are the standard price of ammunition. Ordinary bullets at the fourth level are about 50 points each. They are cheap, but ordinary bullets are like water when fired, and are also known as level 3 bullets. As for level 4 bullets, they are expensive. The highest level 6 bullets are called 'elixirs'!
A single shot can reach 1 Hall Points. As for ammunition with special effects, the possibilities are endless. Those bullets are equivalent to special one-time consumable items.
"Hmm, is there a place where I can conduct experiments?"
"Of course! How could a blacksmith's shop not have a place to experiment?"
