Chapter 78 078 Zizi: Ahhhhh, the smile is gone! ...

In addition to the new students joining, the school also added two new courses for them this semester: "A Brief History of the Universe" and "Identifying Different Zerg Species." If "A Brief History of the Universe" is considered a normal historical teaching, then what is the point of "Identifying Different Zerg Species"?

Pei Qi suspiciously turned a page and saw the lifelike giant cockroach on the colored page of the textbook, which almost scared him to death.

He quickly raised his hand and said anxiously, "Teacher, why are we learning this? I, I don't like bugs at all!"

Cockroaches, Pei Qi's lifelong enemy.

As long as you find cockroaches in one place in your home, there must be a cockroach nest nearby. Cockroaches are completely different from viviparous animals. They are oviparous animals. Dozens of cockroaches can hatch from a small egg case. Cockroaches will not only gnaw on your books, but they are also in estrus all year round. They will occupy your home by reproducing in large numbers!

Meng Yun, the homeroom teacher, said with a smile, "Learning broadens your horizons. It's both knowledge and culture. The core of learning lies in its usefulness for your future, not whether you enjoy it or not."

Meng Yun held up his copy of "A Brief History of the Universe." "The universe is vast and boundless, and the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second, or about 30 kilometers per second. However, even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would take at least 100,000 years to leave the Milky Way. So, hundreds of years ago, scientists studied the jump points of space jumps, using coordinates to enable real-time jumps."

"Before that, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you understand your own bodies?" Meng Yun held up the scroll and spoke slowly. "The body of any living creature has evolved over millions of years. The purpose of all biological evolution is single-minded: to better adapt to the environment and survive. Reproduction is the primary purpose of racial inheritance. The higher up the ecological chain a species is, the closer it is to extinction once it suffers a fatal blow. Our ancestors left the planet they depended on in spacecraft because we couldn't survive the impact of the asteroid belt. So, after observing the trajectory of the asteroid belt, we mobilized the entire nation to build Noah's Ark. To ensure the continuation of the race, only the strongest and smartest individuals could board this ark."

This political action is still controversial even now.

Because in this catastrophe, only a small number of people survived, and the remaining part carried the hope for the future of the entire ethnic group.

"During this voyage, we used the Wise System for flight assistance. Most personnel were in hibernation in cryostat chambers, with only the pilot operating in real time. During the decades of his solo voyage, his body began to undergo abnormalities. Our bodies are designed for planetary survival, not space travel. Unless we undergo specialized gene editing or structural modification, our bodies will undergo significant changes. It's simply that our bodies are undergoing abnormalities to ensure their survival under the influence of the environment."

"The pilot used his own mutated genes as a petri dish, gradually adding mutations. Just like the rabbits we're all familiar with, rabbits are notoriously fast at breeding. If their reproduction rate isn't effectively controlled, they'll resort to inbreeding. Inbreeding is known to cause more harm than good, but surprisingly, this species hasn't gone extinct. Why? Because they breed quickly enough, using the best individuals to eliminate the worse ones. As long as their numbers are high enough, they can offset the problems caused by inbreeding."

"From this experiment, we've learned two types of awakening: primary awakening and secondary awakening. What is primary awakening?" Meng Yun effortlessly switched forms in front of the cub. The teacher standing on the podium suddenly transformed into a sturdy goat. "We gained the ability to switch forms from the primary awakening, but..."

He looked around, "However, you will find that not everyone can complete the form switch, and these people need a second awakening."

Seeing that the teacher's explanation was becoming more and more profound, Ji Dong quickly raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, what is the second awakening?"

"In theory, each of us should have the ability to awaken once. However, in reality, one-third of people are unable to switch freely between the two states. In medicine, we call this incomplete mimicry. Those who miss the first awakening have a chance of experiencing a second awakening. To achieve this, you must fully release the energy stored in your body. Just like a caterpillar must break out of its cocoon before it can emerge as a butterfly. Because the accumulated power in your body has been released to a certain extent, after the second awakening, your physical fitness will be able to be improved to a certain extent."

Hearing this, Ji Dong came forward curiously and asked, "Then, teacher, can each of us achieve a second awakening?"

Meng Yun frowned and hesitated, "Theoretically, as long as the energy accumulates to its peak, most people can complete the second awakening. However, judging from the current experimental data, the number of people who complete the second awakening is very small, and only 5% of them awaken successfully. I can only say that the vast majority of children have the possibility of completing the second awakening."

After this class, Zizi was confused. He didn't understand what the first awakening and the second awakening were, let alone the exploration of the vast universe.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Zhuo Jia came up to him and said, "Brother Pei, I've transferred here! We can go to get out of class together from now on!"

Pei Qi drooped his little head and agreed, "Is that so? That's really great."

Seeing Pei Qi's listless appearance, Zhuo Jia hurriedly asked, "Brother Pei, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Qi hesitated for a long time before finally expressing his concerns. "Did you understand what the teacher just said?"

Zhuo Jia nodded honestly.

Pei Qi: "..."

"Do you really understand?"

"Well, is there any problem with this?" Zhuo Jia asked in confusion.

Pei Qi frowned and said in distress, "Then can you tell me what an awakening is?"

He simply couldn't tell the difference between the first awakening and the second awakening.

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and explained, "An awakening is like this."

As he spoke, he switched into his human form with ease. The little fox looked so beautiful in human form. His eyebrows were light-colored, his big eyes were like round black grapes, his cheeks were as red as little apples, and his slightly chubby cheeks looked so milky. If he had long hair, he would really look like a pretty little girl.

Zhuo Jia tried hard to explain to Pei Qi, "Anyone who has completed an awakening can switch between the two states. Brother Pei, can you do it?"

Two-state switching? This term was too unfamiliar to Pei Qi. After Zhuo Jia demonstrated it with his own hands, Pei Qi seemed to understand a little bit. "You mean, anyone who has awakened will have the ability to switch between two states? Is that what you mean?"

"That's right!" Zhuo Jia nodded repeatedly, "That's what I mean."

"But I've never switched to a human form..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qi felt something was amiss.

That’s not right. He is a real tiger. How can he turn into a human?

"Then, then Brother Pei, you can try switching forms. It's very simple. As long as you close your eyes and concentrate your mind, you can switch forms."

"But……"

Zhuo Jia looked at him expectantly, "Brother Pei, no need to say buts, I believe you can do it!"

With Zhuo Jia's repeated encouragement, Pei Qi decided to give it a try.

So, Pei Maomao closed his eyes and concentrated his attention according to Zhuo Jia's instructions. Well, Maomao turned into a human!

Pei Maomao opened his eyes and looked at his paws.

Well, nothing happened.

So, he tried again, and the cat turned into a human!

He opened his eyes and looked at his paws again.

Well, nothing happened.

Hu Hu is still Hu Hu, and has not transformed into a human form like Zhuo Jia and his group.

Pei Qi looked up at Zhuo Jia and said hesitantly, "Zhuo Jia, I don't think I can transform into a human with you. I've tried my best."

But, it just can’t be changed.

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Jia was stunned on the spot. In his opinion, Brother Pei was simply omnipotent. Why couldn't Brother Pei master the ability to switch between the two states!

Is this Brother Pei's problem? No, this is definitely a problem that he didn't teach well!

So, Zhuo Jia racked her brains to explain the details of the two-state switching to Pei Qi, fearing that she would accidentally miss any details and make him not understand.

After the two of them had experimented, Pei Qi looked at Zhuo Jia helplessly, "Zhuo Jia, is there a possibility that I can't switch to human form like you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Dong quickly interrupted, "Right, not every child has the ability to switch between two states. The new humans today are orcs, and they have the ability to switch between two states. The original species are called original beasts, and they will maintain their original form and cannot switch into human form."

"This awakening is for orcs. Orcs with pure bloodlines will complete their differentiation before the age of five, thus possessing the ability to switch between two states. The second awakening is for original beasts who missed the first awakening. They will accumulate energy in the following period to see if they can promote their second awakening."

"However, the second round of awakening is generally applicable to orcs who have not awakened in the first round, but there are very few people who can awaken in the second round."

After Ji Dong's analysis, Pei Qi finally understood the whole story.

Zhuo Jia realized that he had stepped on a landmine and quickly made amends: "Brother Pei, even if you can't switch to human form, you are still super powerful!"

Pei Maomao nodded seriously.

Well said!

night.

Pei Qi ran to Lu Xuan with the newly issued textbook and said hesitantly, "Ah Xuan."

"Um?"

The little fellow said seriously, "Our teacher talked about primary awakening and secondary awakening today. Ji Dong said that beasts like us who can't switch to human form are called original beasts. Beasts that haven't triggered the primary awakening have a chance of triggering the secondary awakening, but the probability of the secondary awakening is very low."

"So do you want to become a human? Have dual forms?" Lu Xuan glanced at him and asked.

The little guy shook his head without hesitation and said, "I don't want to. I like the furry look. The bald look doesn't look good."

Cubs with soft fur are beautiful cubs!

"Isn't it over then? Why do you think so much?" Lu Xuan chuckled and asked back.

Pei Maomao took out the newly released book "Identifying Different Insect Species" and said seriously, "There's a giant cockroach on the textbook insert! I don't like it at all!"

Lu Xuan paused. "If you don't like that color insert, you can use a pencil to blacken it. It won't be visible. The color insert only helps you better understand its appearance."

The little guy hung his head and whispered, "But now we have two new subjects, so we need two more exercise books."

#I can’t finish writing, I can’t finish writing at all#

#Kitten's wish: Can he not do his homework? #

Seeing Pei Qi's bitter and resentful expression, Lu Xuan added quietly, "Kids who don't finish their homework have to go to the office to make up for it."

Pei Qi: "..."

Woo.

I can't be happy at all!
