Chapter 346: Fooling Around With Schrödinger’s Big Shot

The World of Darkness and Shadows.

In the suburbs, amid the endless darkness, countless shadows were sleeping soundly.

Suddenly…

There was a tremor oin the darkness.

An enormous figure was jolted awake in the dark. A terrifying shadow penetrated the clouds. Its cold and chilling gaze looked afar, as if it came from the abyss.

There were traces of doubt in its deep and profound gaze.

This aura… was strange.

Earlier, something strange seemed to have entered the World of Shadow and Darkness…

It was a familiar aura…

It had also sensed it the last time but it had been a transient feeling so it did not pay much attention to it. However, this time…

It was much clearer.

Shush!

The shadow surged.

It focused its gaze in the distance.

As the shadow force drifted, it was shocked to discover that amid the darkness of the suburbs, there were some shadows of humans that it had never seen before…

Who were these people?

Its sense of perception swept across the place.

Oh.

The assessment…

The First Academy…

It acutely captured some words.

“Interesting.

“That so-called The First Academy.

“Go and capture these guys. I’m very curious as to what they are here for… Those people have great talents and are certainly the best seedlings…”

Bang!

The shadow surged.

One by one, orders cascaded.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One by one, shadows emerged.

…

In the suburbs.

A young man had killed a shadow monster. A ball of light emerged in his hands and faint lights and shadows drifted. The energy of the dead monster was absorbed by the ball of light.

Very well.

The young man was very satisfied. He had gained one more shadow force!

This was the assessment of The First Academy!

They were to collect shadow forces!

Everyone was given a Shadow Combat Suit and a ball of light that could collect shadow forces. They then entered the World of Darkness and Shadows to collect shadow forces. The one with the greatest harvest would have the most outstanding result!

They had to face a brand new world.

In fact, their enemies were very simple.

Shadow monster!

A unique monster formed by shadow forces and energy. It did not have any intelligence. It only had violence and instincts. One could collect a substantial amount of energy after killing it!

<ol start=”2″>

Other students!

This place was a template of the real world! The students would have to step into society after graduation. This was their very first lesson!

Don’t trust anyone!

Of course, these were only the basics!

In this mysterious and unfamiliar world, one could improve and protect themselves based on the information that they held. They could try their best to become more powerful!

This was the only way that one could complete this mission successfully!

For example— Go to the community to accept a mission!

For example— Go to the shop for a transaction! Go and execute a transaction with the ‘true members of the World of Darkness and Shadows’ and gain something!

Another example was…

Heh.

A faint smile emerged at the corners of Ye Liangfei’s face.

As an advanced six-star cultivator and one of the most powerful cultivators in his cohort, of course, he had better ways to collect the forces.

“It’s too slow to collect them by killing these monsters. Why don’t I take some from you guys?”

He smiled faintly.

Well…

Who could he look for?

Lu Yan was merely a five-star…

“This time, it’s my turn to torture you.”

Ye Liangfei’s gaze was cold and aloof.

He got up…

Just as he wanted to look for Lu Yan, a strange and mysterious force swept over him. Ye Liangfei’s pupils constricted and his figure jolted. He moved backwards at lighting speed!

Bang!

Bang!

Balls of shadows were erupting in the void.

Ye Liangfei erupted the terrifying powers of a peak six-star without any hesitation.

However…

Pfft!

The shadow swept across him.

The shadow easily perforated his body and damaged the Shadow Combat Suit.

Ye Liangfei disappeared in a daze.

He took a glance at the terrifying thing that had defeated him and realized that it was possibly the legendary creature from the World of Darkness and Shadows. Such a presence…

What was it doing there?!

Pfft!

Ye Liangfei dissipated.

At this very moment…

The students who were hunting down the shadow monsters nearby also felt the terrifying aura and heard the noises that occurred before the Shadow Combat Suit was torn!

Someone had been eliminated!

“Retreat!”

“What is happening?!”

“I don’t know. A powerful presence nearby has been awakened.”

“Hurry!”

“Leave this place!”

Bang!

The shadow surged.

A gush of waves emerged in the dark and the expressions of the students changed drastically. They fled everywhere and hid in the community. They then managed to escape the calamity.

A faint shadow appeared.

It looked at the Shadow Combat Suit that had dissipated at the tip of its fingers.

This disappears after being hit… Seemingly, these guys are quite different from normal shadows?

“Interesting.

“The First Academy?

“Hehe.”

…

At this very moment…

Tian Du City.

The First Academy.

Everyone felt fear and shock when they saw that Ye Liangfei, who was in the top place, was eliminated!

Yes.

Another genius had been eliminated!

“How’s Ye Liangfei doing?”

“He’s recovering. He has absorbed more shadow forces and is integrating with them. Most probably, his abilities will improve but the advancement is far less than predicted!”

“How did he die?”

“Judging from the state of the Shadow Combat Suit, it’s another hunt and kill!”

“Damn. Could they have been discovered by those damned old guys?”

“Impossible! We modeled and created the Shadow Combat Suits from their equipment. It’s almost the same as that of those ordinary users of the World of Darkness and Shadows. It’s impossible that they have been discovered!”

“What happened then?”

The teachers were very worried.

What had happened inside?

However…

As of now, there was no occurrence of true deaths or injuries. It was just that the two top-notch geniuses of the college had been eliminated too quickly?

Did something really happen in the World of Darkness and Shadows?

…

At the office.

After receiving the news, the dean became more serious.

Ye Liangfei had been eliminated!

Was it Lu Yan again?

No.

It would not have happened that quickly.

Lu Yan was a five-star now. She would need time to recover after defeating Zhang Xukun. She would not be able to kill Ye Liangfei moments later…

“Be more vigilant,” the dean said in a low voice.

“Pay attention to changes in circumstances. If there’s really an accident, forcefully wake everyone up.”

“Yes.”

The teachers wore austere expressions.

“This situation…”

The dean could not help but be worried.

They had invited numerous seniors to go through analyses and deductions regarding the World of Darkness and Shadows. There shouldn’t have been a problem!

Suddenly…

He thought of Lu Ming specially inquiring about graduation season. He paused for a moment and called the teacher who was in charge of preparing combat. “Has there been a decrease in our stock of the Shadow Combat Suits?

“Are the serial numbers all correct?

“They’re all correct. Oh, nothing’s changed.”

The dean hung up the phone and furrowed his brows tightly.

This is strange.

He didn’t go there…

…

At this very moment…

The World of Darkness and Shadows.

Lu Ming was trying to adapt to his environment.

Well…

This was the World of Darkness and Shadows.

Unlike the rest of the people, Lu Ming had entered the place in his bare human form.

A normal person would enter with his shadow and his actual body would remain in reality. For Lu Ming, Brother Cat forcefully transformed him into a shadow and shoved him in…

It just felt weird.

Lu Ming looked at his own body. It was already blurry and looked like a shadow that was hardly discernible…

It was very amazing.

Was this the Shadow Transformation?

Wait a minute.

If that was the case, was his body still around?

Shush!

Lu Ming stretched out both his hands.

Whoosh!

Both his hands were hardly discernible. They were drifting along with the shadow, visible only once in a while. The most terrifying thing was that Lu Ming’s powers were also present irregularly.

Hypothetically…

When his two hands disappeared during Shadow Transformation, they were powerless! His body had actually been transformed into a shadow! Even the powers in his body were affected as the shadow drifted!

This method…

Lu Ming was stunned.

Brother Cat is amazing!

Wait a minute.

In that case…

Lu Ming suddenly realized a very serious problem

Hence…

He unzipped his pants with a grave expression and glanced down. He then zipped them back gravely. He pulled down the zipper of his pants and glanced inside again, pulling it up sorrowfully again afterward.

Damn it. He finally knew what Schrödinger’s cat meant.

His junk could also be transformed into a shadow!

Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled. “What are you doing?!”

“Ascertaining a scientific theorem.”

Lu Ming looked grim.

“What?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was shocked. Who would unzip their pants to ascertain a scientific theorem?!

“This theorem is called a Schrödinger’s cat.”

Lu Ming explained, “Simply put, before you unzip your pants, you have no way of knowing if your junk is still there. Therefore, in theory, it both exists and doesn’t exist.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was stunned. Was there really such an idiotic theory? It seriously suspected that Lu Ming had made it up to boast about his deep and profound knowledge!

“Yes.”

Lu Ming was very serious.

When it came to science, he had never fooled around.

It was true.

Although the experiment used a cat, at this moment, it was more suitable to use genitalia during the Shadow Transformation…

Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with doubts.

Would any scientist examine their own reproductive organs for no apparent reason?

And is it meaningful to examine whether they are still around or not?

Hence…

Xiao-Xiaojian carefully revisited this Schrödinger’s X theorem. If it truly existed, shouldn’t the scientist normally research whether the genitalia were performing fully? This would mean only researching the question when they had no physiological response after reading pornography.

Well, from this perspective the experiment content would be as follows:

An ordinary human male reads a pornography book. There is a 50% chance that he will have a sexual reaction. There is also a 50% chance that he will not.

This kind of phenomena could be termed as Schrödinger’s ╰ひ╯.

In that case, this was the logical research pipeline for reproductive organs.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn!

It sounds extremely logical!

Unexpectedly, Xiao-Xiaojian was that wise and knowledgeable!

“Same here,” Xiao-Xiaojian said humbly.

The black cat was silent.

It looked at the two morons who were praising each other and felt that its intelligence had been insulted. It simply turned around and went to sleep lazily.

Shush!

Shush!

Shadows emerged on the streets.

Lu Ming stretched.

Well…

Greeting his eyes was the same familiar scene. On a certain signboard formed by shadows, The World of Darkness and Shadows was written crookedly

Shops were situated by the roadside.

Occasionally, some people would converse with the shop owners.

True enough…

These were the familiar ways of the World of Darkness and Shadows!

Although he had already been here once, Lu Ming was still full of curiosity. Of course, he did not have that much time to visit this magical world on this occasion.

This time, he was here to look for Zhao Yunshan and his sister!

He had to find them as soon as possible!

He should be able to find some clues from The First Academy’s assessment?

There, the shops and shop owners could be generally understood as NPCs[1] and those shadows as the so-called gamers!

Of course.

The immortal big shots also became the ultimate NPCs there.

“If I want to look for them…”

Lu Ming casually walked to the front of the Assassin Shop and saw a familiar mission again.

——

Jiang Feng, 500 Shadow Coins (Warning: This assassination mission has failed 94 times. The 95th time is in progress… )

——

Yo…

The reward had increased!

Lu Ming was shocked. He remembered that the reward for assassinating Old Jiang was merely 100 Shadow Coins. It had actually increased to 500 Shadow Coins! This was the limit!

Most interestingly, at the gambling shop next door…

There was a plate to bet whether Jiang Feng would die in the next assassination…

The multiplying power was shocking.

Even Lu Ming felt the urge to kill Old Jiang when he saw it… How should he put it? Really… It had not been easy for Old Jiang to stay alive until now..

“Forget it.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

He would think about Old Jiang’s situation later.

Someone had forked out 500 Shadow Coins to hunt down Old Jiang. Obviously, this person was not an ordinary man. He was afraid that, given his current ability, he was not in the position to be involved in this.

Therefore…

Lu Ming shook his head and continued to look for the students of The First Academy.

He reckoned that those students would make a purchase or carry out a transaction there. He might be able to find the students if he were to stay near the shops.

“Xiao-Xiaojian, did you feel anything?”

Lu Ming asked in his Sea of Consciousness.

He believed that, with Xiao-Xiaojian’s intuition, the latter would definitely be able to sense the changes in powers if something out of the ordinary were to occur in the World of Darkness and Shadows.

“No,” the Scout told the truth.

Xiao-Xiaojian shook its head slightly.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming felt somewhat regretful. It seemed that he could only look for them one by one.

Hence…

He wandered through the streets.

He tried to find students from The First Academy.

However…

After merely a few seconds.

Bang!

He heard tremors.

Xiao-Xiaojian shook violently and looked in a certain direction gravely. “Lu Ming, I can sense a surge of strong powers!

“I can feel it!”

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat. “This is…

“Let’s go!”

Lu Ming dashed to the suburbs.

True enough.

Over there, looking disheveled, a group of shadows clad in similar uniforms was on the run. Behind them, herds of shadow monsters in various odd shapes and sizes were chasing them hysterically!

Bang!

Bang!

The monsters stretched out their tentacles and attacked furiously.

“Sure enough, something went wrong!”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

Undoubtedly, these people were students from The First Academy.

He knew that the dean was fooling him!

Damn!

Is this nothing?

Would the students from The First Academy be hunted down if there was nothing?!
