despair

This Rubik's Cube is like a smaller version of the [Black and White Square], but there is no sense of any extraordinary power on it. It is just like an ordinary toy Rubik's Cube, quietly placed on the office desk.

After a while, there was a noise outside the door, and a man wearing a traditional Dayan gown and carrying a simple briefcase walked in.

That was the third president of Jingzhou University since its establishment, Mr. Tan Wenzhi.

Mu Liuyue had seen his photo in the school history introduction. When he saw him walking into the office, he felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as if time and space were disordered.

Whether it is the rosewood desk, the identity of the principal, or the image of him carrying a briefcase to work, they are more in line with Mu Shuyue's impression of the modern history period.

However, his clothes are from hundreds of years ago, with elements from different eras appearing at the same time, which is as awkward as seeing an ancient person playing with a smartphone.

Because of the emergence of secret realms and extraordinary creatures, the technological development process of this world is different from the world where Mu Huoyue originally lived. The same is true for the history of Dayan. About five hundred years ago, many technologies that she thought were only available in modern history had been developed.

Principal Tan looked old, with a slightly hunched body, but he was in good spirits. When he came to his desk, put down his briefcase and prepared to start his day's work, he unexpectedly saw a second-order Rubik's Cube appearing among a pile of documents.

The concept of Rubik's Cube had not yet appeared during this period. In Principal Tan's view, it was just an interesting educational toy.

I don’t know who puts similar little things on his desk every day.

He picked up the Rubik's Cube and put all the sides back together in a very short time.

The black and white second-order Rubik's Cube looks like it has six sides, but there are only two colors, so it is not difficult to put together.

Principal Tan habitually writes down interesting experiences of the day in his notebook, and this inexplicably appearing small puzzle block is no exception. He thinks the pattern of the body rotating in all directions with the center as the axis is quite interesting. While recording his experience of playing the puzzle, he also wrote down a series of mathematical formulas.

That is the complete set of possible states of a Rubik's Cube after it is scrambled. As Principal Tan wrote and thought, he felt that this little toy would become more interesting if the six sides of the Rubik's Cube were all different colors.

The black and white Rubik's Cube he placed next to him disappeared on the spot after it was put back into its original shape. Principal Tan was not surprised. Since the frequency of the secret realms descending in Dayan increased, some inexplicable strange phenomena often appeared in reality.

Thanks to the Bureau's efforts in publicity and popularization, most people are very accepting of these supernatural phenomena as long as they do not cause damage or casualties.

Mu Chuyue, whose consciousness was floating in the air, felt a burst of joy and excitement, all of which came from the second-order Rubik's Cube that disappeared after being restored. It seemed that it really liked someone to put it back together.

On the second day, the Rubik's Cube on Principal Tan's desk had turned into a six-sided second-order body.

Principal Tan couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He initially thought it was a prank by a student, but now it seems that the one who placed this little thing on his desk might be some kind of high-level supernatural creature.

It seems that it is discussing the mathematical model of the Rubik's Cube with itself in this way.

The six-sided, second-order Rubik's Cube is much more complicated than the black and white one, but Principal Tan still restored the Rubik's Cube in a very short time.

This time he did not put down the Rubik's Cube immediately. Instead, he shuffled it several times and then put it back together again, doing this dozens of times.

Then, Principal Tan took out his notebook and wrote down the equation 8!/24=1680 on the first line, which is the total number of positions of the eight corner blocks of the second-order Rubik's Cube.

He added some of his thinking process below, blacked out and rewrote some parts, and revised and calculated the restoration steps, as well as data such as color arrangement.

Seeing what President Tan wrote in the notebook, Mu Huiyue suddenly recalled the uniqueness of this president in the history of Jingzhou University.

Tan Wenzhi was a famous mathematician of this era. He proposed many important conjectures in his life and made great achievements in mathematical research on interpreting extraordinary powers.

Because of his extraordinary achievements in mathematics, he became a rare ordinary person president in the history of Jingzhou University. He never awakened to become a beastmaster in his life, nor did he contract any pet beasts.

Mu Huoyue remembered that Principal Tan was around seventy years old when he took office, which was a very average age among all the previous principals. For the Beastmasters who received contract feedback, this age was in their prime, while ordinary people were already old.

Tan Wenzhi spent a whole day calculating the various possibilities of the six-sided colored second-order Rubik's Cube, and before he knew it, it was time to get off work.

When he heard the bell for the end of class, the old principal was obviously stunned. Then he looked at the Rubik's Cube at hand and shook his head helplessly.

"I lost my ambition today because of you..."

The Rubik's Cube was very happy and didn't bother to hide the extraordinary creature's aura on it. It happily rolled around the old man's hand a few times, and then shuffled the cube on its own, hoping that this human could restore it.

It appears on Principal Tan's desk on time every day, and never gets tired of watching this human write all kinds of wonderful formulas, and then easily putting them back to their original state.

Mu Huoyue, who was attached to the Rubik's Cube's perspective, gradually understood the meaning of this behavior.

The extraordinary creatures born from the secret realm, when the secret realm [arrives], will form a hidden energy biological state with corresponding attributes in a pattern that fits the concept of existence of this planet.

Therefore, most of the extraordinary creatures are very similar to the biological species that exist on the planet itself, with the addition of corresponding hidden energy attributes.

All kinds of animals and plants can find similar characteristics in extraordinary creatures. Even rarer are life forms that transcend biological forms, such as pure natural elements and spiritual dreams.

This is related to the characteristics of [hidden energy]. This special energy is colorless, invisible, and even difficult to observe and measure. Only after it is [observed] will it present specific extraordinary phenomena.

Just like the first extraordinary source of all things [Origin Spirit] that landed on the planet, its form changes according to the thoughts of the observer himself.

All extraordinary creatures also regard the planet itself as an [observer], and use the original ecology here as a model for [descent], forming various unique life forms.

For races that naturally have a concept of existence that matches the planet's ecology, the process of landing is effortless, but there are also some particularly special beings that require a long time to find and consolidate the corresponding concept of existence.

For example, this [Ajiu] who disguised himself as a Rubik's Cube.

Mu Chuyue guessed that its concept of existence might be extremely close to the [Power of Rules], and that it was a legendary fantasy race that was born with the attribute of light. However, the rarer and higher-level the extraordinary race, the more difficult it was to [descend] smoothly.

[Ajiu] is learning the power of the rules of this world, and mathematical concepts are the best language observed and summarized by humans to accurately describe the rules of the universe.

It constantly comprehends and understands the formulas written in the notebook, and then uses similar principles to describe itself.

As Principal Tan recovered day after day, this little Rubik's Cube also established a concept of existence suitable for "descending" itself to this planet.

After a short [flash period], the S-level secret realm "Douzhuan Star Domain" officially entered the [advent period] on a sunny afternoon, and the connection point appeared on the campus of Jingzhou University.

The arrival of the S-level secret realm caused a huge uproar in Jingzhou. All investigators from the Jingjiang Affairs Bureau were mobilized, but they could not make any progress during the exploration. They were dizzy by the chaotic [area] that kept moving and turning.

After the initial exploration data was transmitted back, Tan Wenzhi also participated in the combat discussion meeting. He looked thoughtfully at the four black and white grids that occupied the entire [area] and had already guessed the identity of the master of the secret realm.

The day after the meeting, Principal Tan took the initiative to communicate with the second-order Rubik's Cube that appeared on his desk on time.

The "Dou Zhuan Star Domain" that first descended into reality was not stable. As an extraordinary creature of the legendary fantasy race, [Ajiu] not only possessed the light attribute representing the power of rules, but also the dark attribute representing chaos. It is the rarest paradoxical life.

If the two kinds of hidden energies with contradictory properties in the realm of birth cannot be handled harmoniously, not only will the master of the secret realm be unable to descend, but the secret realm itself will even collapse due to the influence of the laws when it touches the real world, causing huge damage to both sides.

As the lord of the secret realm, [Ajiu] learned how to control the power of rules from Principal Tan, but it is not yet able to handle the power of [chaos] at the same time.

Principal Tan told it a concept called "randomness", which is a mathematical language that can partially interpret "chaos" and can also be used for induction and calculation.

When [Ajiu] was in the ignorant period of the [Flash Period] in the secret realm, he instinctively formed a shape similar to a Rubik's Cube, which is a form of existence that possesses both the attributes of [Rules] and [Chaos].

The random possibilities and rule power contained in the second-order Rubik's Cube are not enough to withstand the arrival of the fantasy race, so just continue to increase the composition of the blocks.

In mathematical concepts, the forms of existence can approach infinity.

The strange second-order Rubik's Cube disappeared for half a month afterwards. On the fifteenth day after the arrival of "Dou Zhuan Xing Yu", a brand new Rubik's Cube with six sides and three steps appeared on Principal Tan's desk.

This time he took longer, but he finally succeeded in restoring the randomly shuffled Rubik's Cube to a state with all six sides in perfect color.

The moment the three-step Rubik's Cube was restored, it jumped out of the old principal's hands and rolled happily back and forth on the desk, knocking all the documents, papers and pens aside.

Its joy was beyond words, and Principal Tan also laughed. He took out his notebook and discussed with it the various possibilities that would follow after it became a third-order body, as well as how to calculate random probabilities.

The communication between the Rubik's Cube and humans continues.

After fully understanding the various structures of the third-order body, the interior of the secret realm also changed accordingly. The attributes of [chaos] were sorted together by [rules] to form various unique [areas].

The Lord of the Secret Realm disrupted and reorganized these [areas] according to the structure of the third-order Rubik's Cube. While changing randomly, they also satisfied the unity of everything. As a result, the hidden energies of light and dark attributes were wonderfully and harmoniously integrated in this secret realm.
