When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 567: Chapter 423: Erha’s Hyperspace Variable

“This is impossible, impossible…”

Fan Yu could not accept what had just happened. As an S-Class warrior, using some strategies with the help of the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape, he had forcibly defeated Lv Peng’s modified Six-Winged Heavenly Lion Beast, which was an SR-Class. This was an instance of triumphing over strength with weakness, something he could boast about for a lifetime.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, his own desolate beast had been devoured by an inexplicable local snake!

He looked at Xiang Beifei in disbelief, unable to comprehend how this person had managed to raise such a terrifying giant snake.

But the reality was right before his eyes, and his reluctance to accept it was futile!

On the other side, Song Xiu turned her head, her face full of surprise, and asked, “Why could the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape be killed by the local snake even though it was invisible?”

“The weakness of the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape is not its literal shadow, but rather something akin to soul power. To maintain its combat effectiveness, it must always be attached to a tangible object. It doesn’t matter whether its body is invisible or whether it has a shadow, you just need to tear at the position where it sinks.”

Xiang Beifei didn’t keep it to himself, explaining the weakness of the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape with great pleasure.

Everyone was a martial artist fighting against desolate beasts, so it was beneficial to enlighten them on their blind spots in knowledge.

The body of the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape was invincible in combat with other desolate beasts, always unharmed, because its body had no soul, having detached its soul. Therefore, it mattered not how its body was attacked.

However, the soul needs a physical object to reside in—earth, leaves… these were all things that could temporarily store a soul.

Normally, the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape just habitually used its shadow as a marker for where to store its soul, but in reality, even in darkness where no shadow is cast, its soul still falls right beneath its feet, not disappearing.

Typically, desolate beasts, not being as intelligent as martial artists, encountering a Shadow Deficient Grey Ape, wouldn’t know to attack its shadow, so the Shadow Deficient Grey Ape had strong combat power among desolate beasts.

But for martial artists, it was simple. Even if they didn’t understand the complexity of the soul, attacking its shadow was still the right approach.

—-

The battle among the desolate beasts had concluded, and the one standing in the wilderness was that skinny local snake, skinny as a bamboo pole!

At this point, even Lv Peng, an SR-Class, had nothing to say.

Zhao Ruizhong suppressed the excitement in his heart, he had already dashed out, coming before the local snake, and observed it as if it were a piece of art, admiring it in amazement.

The local snake coldly watched Zhao Ruizhong, sandstorms erupting around it as it rushed towards him.

However, with a simple raise of his hand, Zhao Ruizhong plucked it from the air. He was a genuine orifice-transforming phase martial artist, and in the face of absolute power, it stood no chance of resisting.

Yet Zhao Ruizhong still carefully stuffed that local snake into a glass incubator, fearful of harming it.

Zhao Ruizhong suppressed the excitement in his heart, packed up the local snake, took everyone out of the simulation room, then said to Lv Peng and the others, “That’s it for today’s interview. You can go back and wait for the news.”

But in reality, all three of them understood what Zhao Ruizhong’s words meant; going back to wait for news meant that there would be no further news.

Everyone couldn’t help but take another look at “Zheng Xian,” resignedly hanging their heads in dejection as they left.

Xiang Beifei was also planning to leave, but Zhao Ruizhong stopped him, saying, “Could you please wait a moment?”

“Oh, sure,” Xiang Beifei said.

Zhao Ruizhong shut the door of the laboratory, then took out a glass incubator. The local snake inside was ceaselessly thrashing about in the dirt, trying to escape from the constraints of the incubator, but alas, Zhao Ruizhong’s power was far greater.

Unable to help himself, he crouched down and scrutinized the local snake from head to toe, as if appraising a rare treasure, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable excitement!

At the start, when Xiang Beifei had opted to cultivate the local snake and the Earth Dragon, Zhao Ruizhong had disapproved of Xiang Beifei’s choice, thinking of him as just an arrogant young man.

However, he now realized he had almost misjudged!

This young man truly had the capability!

The local snake before him was proof enough!

“Perfect! Absolutely perfect! Did you merge the Beast Pills of the local snake with the Earth Dragon?” Zhao Ruizhong couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, I had read Doctor Zhao’s research paper on the local snake and Earth Dragon in the last alliance seminar. Doctor Zhao’s research was very enlightening, so I gave it a try,” Xiang Beifei said.

“You should know that was only theoretical research!”

Zhao Ruizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead in excitement, his eyes intensely fixed on Xiang Beifei, and said, “I proposed this idea, but no matter what I did, I wasn’t able to prove this theory experimentally, I just couldn’t merge the Earth Dragon’s abilities onto the local snake due to their rejection of each other, how exactly did you manage it?”

Zhao Ruizhong was incredibly excited, this matter was very important to him!

Xiang Beifei said, “Actually, the reason Dr. Zhao’s theory couldn’t be realized was that it was impossible to obtain the appropriate Earth Dragon horn. It had to be removed at the very moment it gained power to avoid rejection by the local snake. With such a horn, transplanting it onto the local snake would be very simple.”

“Exactly! The Earth Dragon has the ability to distort space, which inevitably affects the space in the petri dish. Moreover, it’s impossible to find a horn of the right degree in a normal wild environment—that’s why my theory couldn’t be realized!”

As an early-stage SR in orifice transforming, Zhao Ruizhong was well aware of where his theory fell short.

He then asked anxiously, “You just relied on an incubator, how did you manage it?”

“I was able to monitor the process, um—thanks to my system abilities, the moment the petri dish was affected, I could sense it. My system ability is quite unique in this regard.”

Xiang Beifei attributed all unexplainable things to the system.

However, Zhao Ruizhong was utterly astonished, “Your system? Your system can actually do that? The incubator is UR-level, and it would be influenced by the Earth Dragon, how could you possibly—”

“I didn’t use my system to measure directly. It was done indirectly through calculations. I am especially good at spatial fusion calculations. By recording all the conditions of the entire local snake and then combining it with its physical qualities, I can calculate the developmental extent needed for the Earth Dragon’s horn. Then, combining a spacetime variable that my own system provides based on time and spatial coordinates—I call this value ‘Erha’s Hyperspace Variable,’ and it changes all the time…”

Xiang Beifei spouted a bunch of technical jargon, none of which was true. Since Zhao Ruizhong couldn’t see his described system, Xiang could say whatever he wanted.

He clearly stated that it was his system’s calculations, so Zhao Ruizhong could not fully verify the entire calculation process.

After a spate of nonsense, Zhao Ruizhong was completely taken in by him!

At that moment, Zhao Ruizhong’s face showed tremendous astonishment!

Although he didn’t understand what “Erha’s Hyperspace Variable” meant, it seemed… incredibly impressive?

Prestigiousness beyond comprehension!

“So this is actually your system ability…”

Even though he was an experienced biological Desolate Beast researcher, unique in the field of biological transformation, with various authoritative research throughout Jiuzhou, and even many of his studies had been included in textbooks, yet—

Zhao Ruizhong found no reason to question it!

If it had been before, hearing Xiang Beifei spout so much nonsense and come up with something like an “Erha’s Hyperspace Variable,” he would have unhesitatingly cursed, “Nonsense! Full of hot air!”

But the man had perfectly combined the local snake with the Earth Dragon, even allowing the local snake’s formidable strength to be perfectly exhibited, turning his theoretical research into reality!

This was no longer mere nonsense!

This so-called “Erha’s Hyperspace Variable” must definitely exist!

This “Zheng Xian” is genuinely skilled!

As an early-stage SR-level researcher himself, familiar with the abilities of systems, he knew well that everyone in this world has various unique systems, and systems differ from person to person, with the most bizarre system abilities existing without doubt.

If Xiang Beifei’s system specialized in this type of calculation, even an SR-level like Zhao Ruizhong could not doubt this kind of algorithm.

“But when I saw the transformed local snake you worked on, it seemed even stronger than the combination of the local snake and Earth Dragon in my theory! How is that possible?” Zhao Ruizhong asked again.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then said, “The heart of the local snake contains two Beast Pills, and the interaction between the two Beast Pills is not as simple as one plus one. They produce a qualitative change!”

Zhao Ruizhong and Liang Hao looked at each other, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes!

“But different Beast Pills would reject each other!” Zhao Ruizhong hurriedly said.

“I used my system ability to calculate a very complex array through ‘Erha’s Hyperspace Variable’ that perfectly solved this problem. It can eliminate the repulsion produced between any two different Beast Pills. Of course, each different Beast Pill requires a new calculation, and of course, only I can perform it,” Xiang Beifei said.

The purpose of this application was aimed at investigating the fusion of Beast Pills. If he didn’t claim to have this unique patent for fusing Beast Pills, how could he possibly attract the attention of the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company?

Indeed, both Zhao Ruizhong and Liang Hao’s expressions became serious, because eliminating the repulsion between Beast Pills was a problem they had always been trying to solve!

But many of their SR-level and even SSR-level Awakeners hadn’t managed to achieve it, yet unexpectedly, an S-level Awakener had done it!

Although this S-level was not highly skilled, only at early Meridian Opening, the problem was that his system-provided “Erha’s Hyperspace Variable” was genuinely impressive!

Indeed, one should not judge by appearances or system levels!

Expertise requires specialization, in any work field what matters is the most suited system ability, not the level of the system!

“Dr. Zhao, it’s getting late, so I’ll go back and wait for the news,” Xiang Beifei politely said.

“No! We need to discuss the details of your hiring!” Zhao Ruizhong said, unable to contain his impatience.
