(sixteen)

After Qu Feng and his son left, it was time to go to bed, but Qu Lian had slept all day and was not sleepy at all, so he downloaded something from the Internet and held up his phone to explain modern history to Yan Changge. From the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the martial arts people led the fragmented Ming army to drive the Qing army out of the Central Plains and established the Democratic Republic, Qu Lian read a little bit to Yan Changge from the encyclopedia.

He focused on the first and second industrial revolutions and the birth of the first computer, and explained to Yan Changge the concept of intelligent AI. He also searched for several movies about intelligent robots and planned to watch them with Yan Changge in the future.

The lecture lasted several hours, during which Yan Changge listened attentively and took notes at the key moments. Although he wrote in small seal script which was incomprehensible to me, the font was very beautiful, and every stroke was sharp and beautiful.

When Qu Lian was exhausted from talking, Yan Changge would hand him a glass of freshly squeezed pear juice. After a few hours, Qu Lian drank three glasses of pear juice and finally finished talking about some major events and social common sense.

After he finished speaking, Yan Changge turned his notes to the question page and asked, "The law of conservation of energy you mentioned here says that the total amount of energy is constant and can be converted into different forms, just like when people walk, they convert internal energy into kinetic energy. Humans can use various tools to convert energy. So, a system is a program, and a program is a prescribed path for carrying out a certain activity or process. And a computer is a medium that applies electrical energy to various information tasks through programs, right?"

Qu Lian: “…”

Did he just say something so complicated?

Yan Changge didn't seem to need Qu Lian's answer, he continued: "So the system is not a powerful thing, but a virtual carrier that stores and applies information under the joint action of multiple programs. For example, the identity registration system stores personal information on the system, and when the information is needed, since the system can be used on every computer through the network, the corresponding information can be found immediately. Since the speed of information transmission can reach 300,000 kilometers per second, the system searches for information very quickly, much faster than manpower, right? In other words, the so-called system is actually handing over all the information work that used to require a lot of manpower and material resources to complete to the computer, saving a lot of manpower and material resources, is that what you mean?"

Qu Lian: "… maybe. Is that all I just said?"

"The energy that supports the system's huge workload is electricity... In the future it may also be solar energy or other new energy sources?" Yan Changge said thoughtfully.

"Uh... maybe."

"Now, through different programs and systems, electricity is not only used for information work, but also for sweeping robots, refrigerators, air conditioners, color TVs... more and more manual work can be done by machines." Yan Changge said thoughtfully, "So although the system is not a powerful person, if one day someone can control the world's system through a computer, then the world is his, can I say that?"

"That's about right," Qu Lian didn't realize the deep meaning in Yan Changge's words, and thought along with him, "But every country has professional technical talents. No hacker can be this good, no matter how talented they are."

"Yes, hacking is impossible." Yan Changge said thoughtfully, "But if someone can transform his own energy into electricity and enter everyone's computer, and then use this energy to transform the program into information, can it be connected through the Internet and become ubiquitous?"

"..." Qu Lian no longer knew how to respond to Yan Changge's wild idea.

"The theory is feasible," Yan Changge felt more and more reliable as he spoke, "but it requires a very strong consciousness. There is too much information on the Internet, and if the consciousness is not strong, it is very likely to get lost in it, and then humans will appear in the state of brain death you mentioned... Only when the consciousness is strong enough to withstand all the information in the world can it be tried."

"...No one can do it, okay? And what exactly is consciousness, brain waves?" Qu Lian retorted.

"According to your theory, consciousness should be something like brain waves, which is also a kind of energy. It's just that energies like wind energy, kinetic energy, and light energy can be directly felt by people, and they are called obvious energies, while energies like brain waves, network signals, and mobile phone signals are all dark and invisible energies. And these signals are converted through electrical energy, which means that light and dark energies can also be converted through special means." The more Yan Changge spoke, the more he felt that this idea was correct.

Just like his cultivation, he usually absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth through cultivation, which is to transform the external energy into his own energy. As his skills increase, his consciousness will become stronger and stronger. This is when part of the bright energy is transformed into dark energy during cultivation.

So the current phenomenon of lack of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is not a lack of spiritual energy, but this special energy that can be absorbed by practitioners has been transformed into different energies with the development of human society, making it impossible for practitioners to absorb it.

The so-called cultivation of cultivators is to use different mental methods to transform the energy between heaven and earth into internal energy. The internal energy can be transformed into various energies by using some tricks and spiritual skills, such as the Flame Talisman, Heavenly Thunder Attraction and other tricks.

When one cultivates to a certain level, all kinds of creatures are transformed into human form, and human cultivators ascend to heaven. This is the so-called leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Just like the electron migration, when the quantitative change accumulates to a certain level, it will trigger a qualitative change. And when the accumulated electricity can no longer be sustained at this level, it will migrate to a higher level.

"I see." Yan Changge put down the notebook in his hand and said, "You are right, science and technology are the primary productive force, and the power of knowledge is infinite. It seems that the knowledge I have mastered before is really not enough, and I need to learn more. After signing the contract tomorrow, can I go to the bookstore to buy basic textbooks for math, physics, chemistry, biology and other courses? It seems that I need to start learning from elementary school."

Qu Lian: "... As long as you like it, it's always good to study."

Qu Lian didn't know what to say about Yan Changge's thoughts.

After this explanation, Yan Changge gained a new understanding of the world.

He seemed to understand why he hadn't seen a single cultivator or powerful being since he came to this world.

When humans understood the principles of energy, more and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth was transformed into the energy they needed by humans using various tools. The powerful began to be unable to absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and cultivation became increasingly difficult. However, these powerful beings did not like to come into contact with the mundane world, and only liked to cultivate in the mountains. After decades of seclusion, the world had become disconnected from them. When they began to pay attention to the mundane world, the spiritual energy from heaven and earth had become so thin that these powerful beings could no longer control it.

Most of the cultivators have already reached the end of their life span. Without the support of their true essence, they will soon experience the five signs of decay and gradually age and die. Even for a great cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to absorb, how long can the true essence in his body support him? Ten or twenty years? Even if he enters the Death Gate, it will not last more than a hundred years.

Based on the time of the first industrial revolution as the beginning of the disappearance of the earth's spiritual energy, it is estimated that by the eve of World War II, there was very little spiritual energy left. After the spiritual energy disappeared, there would no longer be spiritual creatures, and no living creatures would become demons through cultivation. All cultivators would be afraid of the disappearance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and would go to the death gate one after another. As of this year, more than 70 years have passed. I am afraid that the most powerful cultivators would have experienced the five decays of heaven and man and died silently.

Perhaps some people who have accumulated merits for their afterlife will survive, but these people are hermits and will not be known to the world at all.

Of course, there will be some demon cultivators who choose to absorb the bloody evil energy to cultivate like him. However, the thermal weapons in this world are extremely powerful, and the insignificant demon cultivators cannot withstand large-scale weapons at all. If there are cultivators who really choose to follow the path of demons, they probably won't know who will be killed by a missile.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the only spiritual practitioner who could transform into a human form was probably this ancient sword that had been buried deep underground for many years and had never absorbed any spiritual energy.

When the era enters the technological age, all beliefs, gods and demons will disappear from people's lives. People believe in science, and science is the only truth. All non-scientific products will disappear.

However, Yan Changge believes that cultivation can also be explained by scientific means.

The so-called mind method is the method of converting spiritual energy into internal energy, which is no different from a program. It's just that different mind methods can design different systems, so different mind methods can evolve into different factions, and the internal energy they possess has different functions. Just as the more complex the program can design a more stable and secure system, the more advanced the mind method is, the easier it is to improve your skills.

The cultivator's Golden Elixir and Yuanying are both ways to concentrate and materialize the energy in the body, and the energy in the body can be used to cast spells using spiritual techniques. So spiritual techniques are another method of converting energy. The mental method is to convert spiritual power into internal energy, and spiritual techniques are to convert internal energy into wind energy, water energy, electrical energy, fire energy, light energy and even dark energy. For example, some soul-searching techniques of magic cultivators are also a way to use dark energy.

When the internal energy of a cultivator accumulates to a certain level, beyond the range that this world can bear, it will rise to a world with richer energy, just like an electron leap. Perhaps the energy floating between heaven and earth in that world is not spiritual energy but immortal energy, which is a higher quality energy.

The world is not without energy, but the cultivators' mental methods are only for spiritual energy, and they cannot transform other types of energy into true energy. These reclusive cultivators will not learn physics and chemistry, so they naturally cannot understand the changes, so they can only die in confusion.

(Seventeen)

The Way of Heaven should be the energy law of the world. Positive energy is the energy that conforms to the energy law, so the more positive energy is accumulated, the easier it is to be accepted by the law. The energy accumulated by demon cultivators is negative energy, and negative energy is rejected by the law, so it will be particularly difficult when the heavenly calamity comes.

If you think in this way, then the Way of Heaven is actually a part of science. It’s just that humans have not yet touched upon that field and are unable to see through the truth of the law of energy.

The merits that Yan Changge has accumulated are also a kind of dark energy recognized by the law of energy. Every time he does a good deed, the law calculates the possible consequences of this good deed in the future and rewards him with the corresponding dark energy. When humans express gratitude, it is natural that when they are grateful, the internal energy in their bodies is converted into brain waves, releasing dark energy that is absorbed and converted by themselves.

If we think according to this theory, then can he absorb other energy?

Think about the legends of spiritual creatures in the world of cultivation. The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes. Isn't it absorbing fire energy to cultivate? The dragon dives deep into the sea. Isn't it absorbing water energy? Perhaps the reason why many legendary spiritual cultivators are different from human cultivators is that they can absorb other bright energies while absorbing spiritual energy.

According to the theory that Yan Changge deduced today, this idea is completely feasible. And the energy that he can absorb should not only be limited to merit, perhaps... electrical energy is also possible.

After careful consideration, Yan Changge decided that electrical energy was the most suitable energy for him to absorb. He was made of metal, and metal could conduct and store electricity. When he thought of a way to turn his body into a battery, would he be able to absorb electrical energy?

You can give it a try!

Qu Lian kept looking at Yan Changge, and when he saw his eyes lighten up from deep thought, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Yan Changge's arm and asked, "Are you thinking about something terrible?"

Yan Changge said calmly, "I'm not thinking about anything. It's almost two in the morning, and you must be tired after talking for such a long time. Go to bed quickly, and try to adjust your schedule and don't sleep so late tomorrow."

Qu Lian looked at Yan Changge suspiciously and said, "Are you really not thinking about anything?"

Yan Changge smiled: "Really not."

His expression was too sincere, and Qu Lian could not imagine what Yan Changge could do in the middle of the night, so he went back to sleep obediently. Yan Changge did not fall asleep when he returned to his room, but listened to Qu Lian's breathing. About half an hour later, Qu Lian's breathing became regular, and it was obvious that he was asleep.

Yan Changge then slowly got out of bed and used his true energy to remove the screws on the socket in the bedroom, revealing the wires inside.

One is the live wire and the other is the neutral wire. When the conductor touches the live wire at the same time, there will be an electric shock, and he is the conductor.

Yan Changge placed his hand on the line of fire and immediately felt an electric current flowing through his body, passing through him to the ground, and then into the earth, disappearing without a trace.

Yan Changge had felt this energy before when he was wearing the handcuffs. The energy was too weak that time and he didn't feel it so deeply, but now he could really feel that this energy seemed to be absorbed by himself.

However, it cannot touch the ground anymore, otherwise the current will be conducted into the earth. It must be in the air.

Yan Changge thought about it, took off his clothes and returned to his original form. A long sword floated in the air, and the tip of the sword lightly touched the electric wire. A strong electric current was directly introduced into the sword body. In the dark night, if you look carefully, you can even see a light blue electric light.

Without a conductor, these currents can only circulate continuously in the sword. The power source and the sword form a circulating circuit, and the current flows back and forth continuously.

Why is there a small amount of loss when a conductor transmits electricity? Why do people use copper wire to minimize electrical loss when making wires?

Because that energy is absorbed by the conductor itself!

When a circulating circuit was formed in his body, Yan Changge clearly felt that he was absorbing some tiny amounts of electricity. As long as he circulated the true energy in his body as usual, the electric current would circulate in his body along with the true energy. After a cycle, some of the electricity would be absorbed by him.

But these energies are very small compared to the energy Yan Changge needs. After all, how can the electricity needed by an ordinary house be compared with the energy needed by a sword to cause a qualitative change and cultivate into a human form? You know, Yan Changge cultivated into a human form, but it took two thousand years to absorb the blood and evil energy of millions of people (that is, the dark energy of brain waves converted from the internal energy before death). How can a mere house voltage be absorbed by Yan Changge?

He needs a large amount of electricity, not 220V voltage, but voltage exceeding thousands or even millions of volts.

No, the most important thing is that this electricity... is different from merit. After all, merit is the dark energy rewarded to him by the law. It can be absorbed smoothly by him and will not have any bad effects on his body. But the electrical energy is absorbed by himself by force. If we must count, merit is the positive energy allowed by the law, and the electrical energy is the negative energy forcibly plundered and not allowed by the law. The positive energy in his body must be more than the negative energy, otherwise his body will not be able to withstand it and will be destroyed by the high voltage electricity. Even if he is an indestructible magic weapon, it will be useless.

According to Yan Changge's own calculations, with his current merits, the voltage he could withstand would not exceed 10,000 volts, and he would still be destroyed if he encountered lightning. However, with this electricity, he could save the merits he accumulated in his daily life, and use electricity to maintain his human form and for daily consumption, so that he would not encounter the trouble of having to return to his original form when his merits were exhausted.

That's very good.

Yan Changge used his unique talent to absorb electrical energy with all his strength. He absorbed it very quickly, but after a while, he could no longer absorb it.

All the electrical appliances in the room stopped working, and the sound of the refrigerator charging disappeared.

Yan Changge: “…”

Well, worldly electricity costs money. This kind of safe electricity that can be used by humans in daily life costs money!

I don't know how much electricity I absorbed...

Yan Changge felt a little guilty, so he quickly changed back into human form, picked up his clothes from the ground and put them on, then lay on the bed, simulating the sound of a human heartbeat, his heart beating thump thump.

It feels good to have enough energy to waste.

Yan Changge lay there happily and quietly all night. The next morning, when Qu Lian got up, the first thing he did was to pick up his mobile phone and immediately discovered that the wireless signal icon was not lit.

"?" Qu Lian opened the Wi-Fi settings puzzled and found that the wireless was turned on, but his own router was not in the wireless network list.

"Why is there no internet?" He naturally got up and ran to the wireless router downstairs to check, but found that there was no electricity in the house.

While he was checking the router, Yan Changge had already fed the cats and dogs and returned to his room. He saw Qu Lian's miserable look and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's a power outage! There's no internet!" Qu Lian said angrily. "The property management didn't even notify us that there would be a power outage today. How could there be a power outage?"

Power outages are a minor issue, but not having internet is a major issue. Qu Lian ran to the door in her pajamas to check the meter to see if it had tripped.

The meter is out of power...

Yan Changge had been following behind Qu Lian in silence. Seeing his face full of disbelief, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"How could there be no electricity?" Qu Lian was particularly puzzled. "I have a lot of electrical appliances at home. Normally, I pay 5,000 or 10,000 yuan for electricity at one time, which is enough for two or three years. I only paid 10,000 yuan for electricity during the Chinese New Year, and I should have used less than 1,000 yuan. How could there be no electricity?"

Yan Changge: “…”

"No, I have to call the power supply company. Is there something wrong there? All the electricity worth so much money has been used up." Qu Lian picked up his phone and started looking up the number.

Yan Changge quickly grabbed Qu Lian's hand and stared at him with his charming eyes. Qu Lian felt uneasy and grabbed his phone, bewildered, "What, what's wrong?"

"Don't call." Yan Changge didn't expect that his actions last night were so wasteful, and he was full of regret.

"No," Qu Lian explained, "It was really the electricity meter that swallowed my electricity bill. Although I don't care about that little money, I can't let myself be cheated like this. I have to go to them to argue and get my electricity bill back."

Yan Changge held Qu Lian's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "I used the electricity last night."

He had never thought that just absorbing a little energy would use up so much electricity. But at this moment, he could no longer hide this matter and had to confess the truth to Qu Lian.

Qu Lian: “…”

"It was really used by me." Seeing Qu Lian's face full of disbelief, Yan Changge had to emphasize.

"Then can you tell me how you used more than 9,000 yuan worth of electricity overnight?" Qu Lian really couldn't believe it.

"I can't explain the details to you, but I can give you a general idea." Yan Changge thought for a moment and said, "You've always wondered why I have such profound skills at such a young age, haven't you? This is because... my method of cultivation is a little different. I can absorb electricity and convert it into internal strength."

Qu Lian: “…”

"Last night, I turned on the socket in the bedroom, and my hand touched the live wire, and I absorbed the electricity in the wall with all my strength. But I didn't expect electricity to be so expensive. I only absorbed it for less than an hour, and more than 9,000 yuan was gone." Yan Changge said sincerely, "I will find a way to pay you back for this money."

Qu Lian: “…”

Qu Lian had a dead expression on his face, as if his whole body was empty. He left a beautiful doll in front of Yan Changge, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.

"I'm sorry, I was careless." Yan Changge held Qu Lian's hand and said, "Can you forgive me?"

(eighteen)

Qu Lian discovered one thing: ever since he met Yan Changge, his daily experiences had become very novel. In just this short month, he had experienced things that he had not experienced in the past twenty-five years.

For example, these days, someone can actually send an old lady who is trying to scam someone to the hospital, someone can actually smash the bulletproof glass with one punch and fall from the sky to arrest a murderer, someone can hold his hand and inject yang energy into him to help him regain his strength, someone can swing a motorcycle and fight a fully armed gangster, someone can restore the profound martial arts skills through video...

But none of the things he encountered were as shocking as what happened today. If he went to the street and said that someone had absorbed more than 9,000 yuan of electricity from his house to practice martial arts and became a master, not only would passers-by believe him, he himself would not be able to say it out loud, it was too fake.

But if this is false, where did his electricity bill go?

Recalling what Yan Changge said last night, he said that if someone could convert internal energy into electrical energy, turn electrical energy into dark energy through a program, and control this dark energy, then they could rule the world's computers. At that time, he thought Yan Changge really didn't understand modern technology and came to such a conclusion out of sheer fantasy. But now, he suddenly felt that Yan Changge might have been serious at that time. Not only was he serious, he also took action immediately.

And now, he might be halfway there.

"You...you were not electrocuted?" Although he was extremely shocked, Qu Lian was still most concerned about this matter.

"Nothing," Yan Changge shook his head. "I have a special physique and can withstand very high voltages. A mere 220V voltage can't hurt me."

"That's good..." Qu Lian first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked seriously, "Can you tell me who you are? I'm also from a martial arts family, and I never knew that my own electricity could be transformed into internal force. This kind of mental method is unheard of and unseen."

Yan Changge had even told Qu Lian about his inner power transforming clothes and that he had practiced fasting. His relationship with Qu Lian was naturally extraordinary. But such a relationship was not enough for Yan Changge to tell Qu Lian his true identity, especially after he speculated that there might not be spirits that could become spirits after the founding of the country. He was very likely the only spiritual practitioner in the world, so his true identity had to be hidden!

But he didn't want to talk to Qu Lian. After a long period of contemplation, Yan Changge slowly said, "Actually, I didn't know this method before last night. It's just that the physical and chemical knowledge you taught me gave me a new understanding of energy. You said that energy is not generated out of thin air, but is transformed. We usually absorb energy from food and turn this energy into our own internal energy. It suddenly occurred to me that the energy absorbed from food is too little, so can we absorb energy from other channels? I am still very confident in my ability to withstand electricity, so after you fell asleep, I tried it, and I couldn't stop until the power went out at home..."

These words broke Qu Lian's scientific view and rebuilt it again. After his three views had been broken and reborn countless times, Qu Lian took a deep breath and said, "Don't say anything. I'm going to pay the electricity bill..."

He knew Yan Changge was hiding a lot of things from him, and with his IQ, he couldn't guess what kind of amazing secret it was. Forget it, just consider it his luck to meet a hermit master. After all, being able to treat him and help pass on his family's martial arts is already a great favor. Even if Yan Changge is a world-destroying demon in a movie or TV series, Qu Lian will keep up with Yan Changge's steps and become his strongest backing even if it means losing everything.

And this person who made him feel extremely grateful said innocently: "I'm sorry, I will definitely pay you back when I get my salary in the future."

"No need," Qu Lian said seriously, "I can give you everything I have."

"No, this money must be paid back." Yan Changge said sternly.

Taking something without permission is stealing. He could be considered to have stolen more than 9,000 yuan from Qu Lian last night. The Heavenly Dao Law had already put this sin on his head, and his merits were reduced a little. Although he could absorb electrical energy, this was only possible if his merits were sufficient. Otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation would come. So he had to pay it back!

Qu Lian: "...Okay, as long as you are happy."

Well... Yan Changge doesn't owe anyone anything, which is indeed noble, but it's not too good either. He can't even give something as a gift.

After they quickly washed up and ate, Qu Lian took the electricity card to the power supply station to pay the bill. Yan Changge accompanied them as usual, sitting in the passenger seat.

Qu Lian thought for a moment and said, "If you can really use electricity to cultivate, that would be the best. But if our electricity bills always go up by tens of thousands overnight, it will arouse suspicion sooner or later."

Yan Changge was naturally aware of this. Ever since he found out that so much electricity money was gone, he had been in a heavy mood. The cultivation method he had found with great difficulty could not be used at will.

"It can only work in large factories." Qu Lian earnestly helped Yan Changge think of a solution. "Large factories not only have high voltage and large electricity, but also consume a lot of electricity every day. If we absorb a little bit every day, it shouldn't attract anyone's attention."

"No," Yan Changge refused. "I didn't know it would consume so much electricity before I gave it a try. My method of cultivation is too expensive. If I use electricity from a large power plant, it would be like stealing. I can't do that."

Qu Lian: “…”

Well, I forgot that Yan Changge is a good guy, how could he do such an immoral thing.

"Well... forget it. If you really need it, I'll find a way later." Qu Lian said. He had a feeling that Yan Changge seemed to be in great need of electricity.

"Thank you." Yan Changge simply expressed his gratitude and kept Qu Lian's kindness in his heart.

He never thought about ascending to heaven, so he didn't care about cause and effect. He just wanted to be a free man. How could he not be affected by cause and effect when he was alive?

The two drove to the power supply station and paid another 10,000 yuan for electricity. It was already noon, so instead of driving home, they might as well eat out and go directly to the company in the afternoon to sign the contract with Qu Feng.

It was a rare opportunity to get a large amount of energy, and Yan Changge had enough strength to digest the impurities in his body. Looking at the dishes ordered by Qu Lian, he suddenly wanted to try them.

This is probably the feeling when someone suddenly gets a large sum of money, and everyone wants to waste it, right?

So Yan Changge picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. As soon as the meat entered his mouth, he frowned slightly. Qu Lian was curious about how he could eat, so he kept staring at him. Seeing that Yan Changge looked unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

Yan Changge asked, "This thing is poisonous, why are all of you eating it?"

Qu Lian: "...Where is the poison? This is a regular hotel. Is someone trying to harm us?"

"It's not a strong poison, but a kind of... No, it's multiple chronic poisons, and the sources are different." Yan Changge said, "First of all, there is something in this meat that can make people addicted to food and gain weight and consume people's life essence. Life essence is different from other energies. It is innate to people. When life essence is exhausted, life will come to an end. The strange thing is that this poison is very clever. It is not put in when cooking, but when feeding animals, the animals eat this poison, and then enter the human body through the meat. The person who poisoned is really clever and vicious."

Qu Lian: “…”

That's hormones, just hormones in the feed...

"Also, the oil used for cooking seems to contain a kind of... unique toxin. This toxin can mutate a certain organ in the human body, causing it to grow rapidly and eventually become a tumor in the body, absorbing all of the body's energy and ultimately leading to death."

Qu Lian: “…”

Maybe this hotel uses sewer oil, which contains carcinogens...

"And this," Yan Changge ate another piece of cucumber, "This cucumber contains a poison that can make people infertile. Although the amount is not large, it will have an impact on people if consumed for a long time. You should not eat it."

Qu Lian: “…”

Oh, this cucumber has thorns on top to look fresh and beautiful, and magnesium sulfate is used to make the flowers bloom forever...

Yan Changge sighed: "I know a little bit about poisons. Do you eat this kind of thing every day?"

Qu Lian took a sip of water and said, "There's no other way. If you don't eat, you'll starve to death. The current global environment is like this. The air quality exceeds the standard when you breathe it in. There's smog everywhere. Haven't you found any chronic poison in it?"

Yan Changge: “…”

He didn't breathe any air, which was a huge waste of energy.

"So, we should live one day at a time." Qu Lian shook his head helplessly, "If we care about so many things, we will be in a dilemma."

Yan Changge agreed with Qu Lian's words solemnly: "Indeed, every day of life is difficult."

Every day I face the danger of turning back into a sword. I finally find a way to absorb electrical energy, but the merits I have worked so hard to obtain are deducted by the heavens because I took it without permission. It is really difficult.

They both sighed at the same time, lamenting the difficulty of life.

After dinner, Qu Lian took Yan Changge to the bookstore to buy some textbooks. Yan Changge read some elementary school textbooks and felt that he knew most of them, so he started buying textbooks from junior high school to high school. He also bought some introductory books on computing, intending to start studying programming when he returned home and enrich himself little by little.

Last night's experience made Yan Changge realize that there is not only one path ahead of him. As long as he believes in science and loves science, he will be able to find a new path.

However, these books were not enough, so Yan Changge asked Qu Lian about the teaching methods here and was surprised to find that anyone could learn in a higher education institution. So he was very happy and planned to take the college entrance examination after finishing high school, and go to university to study physics or computer science.

Qu Lian: “…”

The author has something to say:

After Qu Lian knew Yan Changge's identity, one day during sex, Yan Changge ran out of energy and was about to turn into his original form.

Qu Lian: Not enough true energy?

Yan Changge nodded heavily

Qu Lian: It's okay, don't be afraid

Then he opened the socket on the wall and said: Come and charge it, and continue

Yan Changge: ...

When Qu Lian's phone ran out of battery, he immediately put it into Yan Changge's hand and asked him to charge it.

Yan Changge: ...

It was not until today that I realized that Xiao Gong is actually a power bank!
