## Volume 4: Phoenix Crying in the Ninth Heaven

＞The morning at the General's Mansion begins with Chen Bao's screams——

> "Lingbao! That's an abacus! Not a blackboard!"

> I saw Lingbao Su Ling using the Eternal Number Light Pattern to deduce the law of increasing entropy in the universe on Chenbao's golden abacus. The last line read: "Conclusion: The heat dissipation efficiency of my brother's abacus needs to be increased by 233%."

The abacus beads, used as scratch paper, overheated and began smoking, bouncing wildly around the courtyard. "I quit! We want paid leave!"

> Erbao tried to put out the fire with a pacifier, but the pacifier was bounced off the abacus beads and embedded in the beam of the house.

"This system urgently issues the 'Abacus Rights Protection Law,'" the venomous system patched the smoking abacus. "From now on, we will implement a two-day weekend system, and overtime will require rainbow candy compensation!"

---

The "Holy Light Chili Vine" area in the General's Mansion's back garden has become the most magical and vibrant corner of the mansion. The fluorescent vines dance softly day and night, and the golden pacifiers dangling from their apex jingle to the rhythm. Several chili beetles, now sporting fluorescent green patterns, rest comfortably on the vines, basking in the sun, enjoying the nourishment of the lingering holy light. Lingbao Su Ling is a regular here, unfailingly carried to his stargazing cradle each day. He babbles to the shimmering "math blackboard" and "dynamic toys," his little hands occasionally drawing mysterious white-gold streaks that intensify the vines' glow and imbue their dance with an indescribable rhythm.

Dabao Su Chen became the "chief researcher" of this area. He practically moved his study to a corner of the garden, his small figure often sitting cross-legged before the vines, the abacus of cause and effect in his arms swirling with golden light, its beads dancing frantically as he attempted to decipher the eternal numerical light marks Lingbao had inadvertently left on the vines, as well as the subtle changes in the laws of the vines' own movements, influenced by Lingbao. The concentration on his face bordered on reverence, often neglecting sleep or food.

"Chen'er, it's time for lunch." Su Li came over with a lunch box. Seeing her son obsessed with vines and abacus, she felt distressed and helpless.

"Well, wait a moment, mother. This energy node... is just a little bit short..." Su Chen didn't even raise his head. The beads were jumping faster and faster, and his little brows were furrowed.

Su Li sighed and placed the lunch box on the stone table beside her. She noticed the golden abacus in her son's arms. The light seemed dimmer than usual, and the movement of the beads seemed to have a hint of... sluggishness?

At this moment, Lingbao in the cradle seemed dissatisfied that her brother was concentrating on the abacus and ignoring her (the vines). The little girl pouted, stretched out her chubby fingers, and pointed at the abacus in Su Chen's arms, which was shining with golden light!

**Section 1: The Universal Formula on the Abacus and Overheating Strike**

An extremely subtle, yet pure to the point of making one's heart palpitate, platinum-colored light pattern, like a living spirit snake, shot out silently from Lingbao's fingertips, instantly crossed the space, and accurately sank into the cause and effect abacus in Dabao Su Chen's arms!

Buzz——!

The entire abacus suddenly burst into an unprecedented dazzling golden light! It was as if it was injected with unimaginable surging energy!

Su Chen was so startled that he almost dropped the abacus! He looked at the magical instrument in his arms in astonishment, only to see the countless golden beads frantically twirling as if by an invisible giant hand, colliding, jumping, and reorganizing at an unprecedented speed and frequency beyond all limits! On the abacus's surface, complex formulas, symbols, and geometric shapes, composed of pure platinum light points, emerged, flowed, and combined on their own, as if alive!

Lingbao Su Ling had actually used his brother's abacus, which held the power of cause and effect, as a scratch paper for a temporary calculation! And the calculations were clearly not simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division!

On the surface of the abacus, light spots were rapidly moving:

* First, construct an extremely complex, ever-expanding multidimensional universe model!

* The variable symbol representing time entropy is then introduced (a twisted "S" shaped light symbol)!

* Countless differential equations jump between the beads, deducing the disordered changes of matter and energy!

Finally, in the core area of ​​the abacus, the light condensed into a conclusive formula that was crystal clear and exuded the aura of ultimate truth:

**[The total entropy (disorder) of the universe increases monotonically over time and is irreversible. 】**

**【Inference: In a closed system, effective energy is continuously dissipated.】**

**[Application Example (Highlighted): This abacus (No.: Chen-001) is running continuously at high load, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation efficiency! The core bead temperature has exceeded the critical value! Efficiency loss: 233%! Immediately optimize the heat dissipation structure or reduce the operating frequency!]**

The conclusion of the last line of "Application Examples" was like a red-hot iron, burning the abacus itself and the heart of its owner Su Chen!

"Lingbao! That's an abacus! Not a blackboard!" Su Chen finally reacted and let out a startled and anxious scream! He wanted to stop it, but the abacus was firmly "locked" by the power of the eternal number rules injected by Lingbao, and he couldn't interrupt the crazy deduction at all!

Just as Su Chen screamed, the abacus in his arms also reached its limit!

The humming sound grew shrill and piercing! The abacus itself grew scorching hot! Wisps of green smoke stubbornly emerged from the gaps between the beads! The golden beads, bearing the law of increasing entropy in the universe, each glowed red, like red-hot charcoal, trembling violently and emitting a whine of unbearable weight!

"Oh no! The abacus is overloaded!" Su Li's face changed and he was about to step forward.

But it's too late!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It's like a volcano that has been suppressed to the extreme finally erupts!

The dozens of red beads on the abacus could no longer withstand the madly surging energy inside and the "whip" of the eternal number rules outside, and suddenly broke free from the abacus frame. Like a cannonball, they shot out in all directions with a scorching air wave and a shrill sound of breaking through the air!
