Chapter 533 – REVERSE’s effects!

Living room.

After another loud thunderclap, the apartment becomes quiet again.

“Director? Director?”

“Huh? Ah? What’s wrong?”

“Don’t pick up the glass with your hand. You might cut yourself. I will get the broom.”

“…. Ah, no need. The glass is fine.”

Zhou Yanru was about to go to the kitchen to get a broom to sweep the glass shards, and she turns to look at Dong Xuebing. To her surprise, she saw Dong Xuebing picks up the glass from the floor. It was the same glass he knocks off the dining table, and it’s perfectly fine. There is not even a crack. “The glass did not shatter? But I heard it break earlier. Is this not made of glass?”

Dong Xuebing doesn’t know how to ask her. “I bought it at a shopping mall, and it’s durable.”

“Yes. It is very solid.” Zhou Yanru is still puzzled. “This glass is fine after dropping from the table. It must be made from high-quality glass. But I remember I heard the sound of glass shattering early.”

“It might be due to the material.”

“Ok.” Zhou Yanru did not continue to think about it.

Although Dong Xuebing replied calmly, his heart is beating fast. One second… two seconds… three seconds…. REVERSE’s time is still ticking, and he quickly deactivates it. He still has 1 minute and 8 seconds remaining, and the scene earlier is too amazing. The shattered glass had joined back to become perfect again. This feeling is like time had reversed for the glass, and it returned to its previous state before it dropped to the floor.

Is this what REVERSE does?

It must be!

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath as he had found out what REVERSE does! His experiments with REVERSE previously did change something, but he did not realize it! REVERSE is not like BACK which will change time and will not affect everything. It was targeting a single target and changed its status!

This is a big discovery!

This is how you use REVERSE!

Zhou Yanru rolled up her sleeves and started clearing the dining table. “I will help you wash the dishes.”

“No. I had to bother you enough.”

“It’s fine. I had used the dishes too, and I can’t let you wash my bowl for me. Haha…”

“Sister Zhou, I will not dare to invite you over the next time if you are treating me like this.”

Zhou Yanruu laughed. “No… I am not treating you as an outsider. You looked like my older brother when he was young, and it made me feel closer to you. So, please don’t fight with me over the dishes. Pass me the bowls and chopsticks. Kitchens are women’s territory.” Dong Xuebing likes the way she talks. She can make everything sound pleasant to his ears. He knows he did not resemble her older brother twenty years ago, and she might not even remember how he looks then.

Sister Zhou might be very talkative, but she is thoughtful, and Dong Xuebing likes subordinates like her.

After washing the dishes, Zhou Yanru noticed Dong Xuebing has something on his mind. “Director, I had soaked my clothes. I will be going back to wash them now. The groceries are in the fridge, and they can last at least two days. Let me know when you finish them. I will buy for you.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “How can I trouble you every time? Thank you.”

Zhou Yanru smiles. “I had treated you as my older brother. You… can order me around like your younger sister. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”

Treat you like my younger sister?!

Sis, you are more than ten years older than me!

Dong Xuebing smiled and shook his head after Zhou Yanru left. She is very good at building relationships with others. This is a trait he must learn, as he must stop making enemies everywhere. Never mind. This is not important now, and testing REVERSE is the priority now.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and took a porcelain cup from the coffee table. He smashed it against the floor, and it shattered into pieces. After that, he mumbled REVERSE softly!

1 second….

2 seconds….

REVERSE has been activated!

But Dong Xuebing is not focused, and nothing changed. He frowned and kneeled next to the pieces. He concentrated on the porcelain pieces and covered them with his palm. The pieces started to move…. Crack… crack…. Within a second, all the shattered pieces joined back, and the cup returned to normal. REVERSE had taken effect again!

REVERSE deactivated!

Dong Xuebing still has 50 seconds remaining!

Dong Xuebing placed the cup on the coffee table and rubbed the center of his brows. Although he knows the effect of REVERSE now, how is this power going to help him? Reversing time on a single object doesn’t seem to be very useful. His BACK can reverse time for everything in the world, and every object’s status will return to a few seconds or minutes ago. REVERSE doesn’t seem to be useful. BACK allows him to go back in time, and STOP can stop time. But REVERSE can only allow a single object to go back in time. This is wasting his precious accumulated time.

Dong Xuebing activated MENU and looks at his remaining time. He felt his heartache when he saw he only has 50 seconds left.

Dong Xuebing felt scammed.

He lit a cigarette and started smoking in the living room.

It’s not supposed to be like this. Using one minute of BACK will cause the world to return one minute, but REVERSE only works on an object. Where did the rest of the energy go to? The energy required to turn back time for the world and a single object should be different. Did the rest of the energy disappear?

Dong Xuebing is disappointed.

I can only accumulate 1 minute every day, and using REVERSE can only repair a broken cup?

How much does a cup worth?!

BACK can also achieve the same results.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing recalled the breakfast incident earlier. When the glass was knocked over accidentally, he paused for around five to six seconds before picking it up. But it took only one second for him to repair it with REVERSE!

This discovery brightens Dong Xuebing up. One second of REVERSE can turn back more time on an object.

This explains where did the rest of the energy goes!

The energy which can affect the whole world is used on a single object, and it should be several times more powerful. Of course, Dong Xuebing’s power cannot be explained logically. How far can all the cars in this world move with 10,000 liters of petrol? Not even 1 meter, but what if 10,000 liters of petrol is used on a single car? The car will not finish using all the petrol before it becomes scrap metal!

Dong Xuebing felt this is a clue and started to experiment with it immediately.

Dong Xuebing looks around his apartment and saw a red pomegranate in his kitchen. He had bought it two days ago, and dark spots had appeared on the skin. He had forgotten to eat it after buying it.

Alright!

Dong Xuebing rubbed his palms together and walked to the living with the pomegranate. He took a deep breath and cracked his knuckles before focusing on the pomegranate in his hands.

Start!

REVERSE!

49 seconds….

48 seconds….

The dark spots on the skin appeared yesterday, and Dong Xuebing is trying to repair them. If this works, it would mean REVERSE can return more time on an object.

But something unexpected happened.

The dark spots on the pomegranate started fading. It faded, and the skin turned red like a ripe pomegranate. Its reddish skin continued to fade to greenish and becomes smaller.

30 seconds….

20 seconds….

10 seconds….

When all the accumulated time is used up, REVERSE deactivates. The pomegranate in Dong Xuebing’s hands had become smaller by half. The skin is green, and it had returned to the time when it was unripe. He peeled it open, and the seeds are not fully formed! He picked up a seed and tasted it. It was too sour, but he is overjoyed!

The pomegranate had returned a few months ago!

Dong Xuebing had only used 50 seconds of REVERSE!

All the energy used in BACK is channeled into a single object when using REVERSE! The returned time is much more than Dong Xuebing imagine!
