Chapter 138: Breaking the Rubik's Cube

"Now, let's start the first stand-in ability test. Concentration, concentration, concentration, concentration...... And then...... Uh, what happened? ”

Gai Qi bit her pencil and sat opposite Su Jing. The two of them stared wide-eyed.

"I can feel it...... This thing doesn't seem to be the usual thing...... The kind of humanoid stand-in in the comics, it seems to be a ...... Cube-shaped space? Su Jing stretched out his right hand and held a void object in the air with his hand, "I always feel that it seems to be able to perceive what is inside...... Even go to ......"

He frowned, then chose a word:

"Control. I mean, I seem to be able to control and change things in it. It's like ...... Such. ”

Su Jing's right palm suddenly made a loud noise, as if something suddenly expanded, or a small miniature explosion.

“…… Well...... What did you do? It was like some kind of vibration in the air......" Gage stared at his hand a little nervously.

"I 'pushed' all the air inside the cube out of the block, created a vacuum, and then canceled it, and the air flowed back - bang!" Su Jing shrugged his shoulders, "If my stand-in ability is the manipulation of the air, I think this ability is very powerful. But...... The range of this thing seems to be only a small cube about ten centimeters long...... It's so unfortunate. A chicken rib. ”

"Hmm...... Do you remember...... Did you faint in a cold drink shop and I went into the toilet and carried you out of the hall for a while? Gai Qi tried to touch it with his hand, but there was nothing on Su Jing's right hand, "I seem to remember that the mirror in front of you seemed to be completely distorted. I'm sure it's not the refraction of the air, it's the mirror itself being altered......"

"What you mean is that inside this invisible cube space, you can change more than just air...... Any substance?! Su Jing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then reached out and took out a metal caliper and held it in the palm of his right hand.

As he concentrated with all his might, the steel calipers in his hands began to twist. It was like softening into a piece of plasticine, constantly deforming in Su Jing's hands. Gage reached in with her mechanical hand and tried to touch it.

The caliper, or the strength and stiffness of the mass of metal itself, has not changed, the only thing that has changed...... That's the shape of it.

"Interesting." Su Jing said in a low voice. In the center of the invisible cube, Gage's robotic hand suddenly trembled unsteadily, and with a buzzing sound, her plastic fingers began to deform one by one, breaking free of their original parts and levitating in midair. After the plastic shell was removed, the steel guide lever and ceramic skeletal structure inside began to disintegrate one by one, levitating in this cube with a side length of ten centimeters.

"It's expensive, this manipulator." Gage pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"It's okay...... Su Jing memorized the structure of the manipulator one by one, and then recombined them to reclaim the cube field.

"Hmm...... It feels a little more flexible. Gage moved his wrist, "It's smooth, what did you do?" ”

"Correcting some of the errors in the original manufacturing, some of the most subtle deviations in the manufacturing of the material, as well as minor dimensional issues and polishing - my God, I remember even tweaking the internal forging deposits to make them more even and stable - to be able to do this kind of microstructure adjustment, this ability is so precise......"

Su Jing's eyebrows raised, and he continued:

"But this ability seems to have great flaws, for example, its precision is still a little insufficient, I can only control these relatively macroscopic material phenomena, and it will be difficult to continue. If I can't be accurate to the atomic level, then it will be difficult for me to do atomic recombination, material transformation, or even manual nuclear fusion......"

"You can rest for a while, it's still early, if you want to dream, you might as well wait until the evening." Gage rolled her eyes, "It's already very powerful to have such an ability, think about it, the material structure control in the limited space, who else can live after you get close." ”

"That's right......" Su Jing tried to transform his hands and turn into a few tentacles to scare people, but he didn't react. His face changed slightly, and he tried a few more times, but there was still no response. After spending more than ten minutes continuing the experiment, he finally confirmed a fact:

"Oh, it's unfortunate. Looks...... It has a ...... on living organisms It doesn't seem to have much effect. ”

After passing the one-and-a-half-hour aptitude test, Su Jing wrote down all the data of his new abilities on a piece of paper:

[Stand-in name: undecided]

[Scope of action: a 12.5cmX12.5cmX12.5cm cube.] The location of the site may seem unlimited, but the precise control of the area is approximately fifteen meters within the center of the body. 】

[Function: Change the structure of non-living matter within the cube (macroscopic). Conjecture: What non-living matter can be changed, but what is also made of matter cannot be changed? Is it because of the influence of life energy? I mean, the energy field that life itself has interferes with the functioning of the stand-in ability? I don't know if this conclusion is correct until more data is collected. But if this idea is correct, then it is likely that objects with great energy will be resistant to this ability...... I hope this is better not true. 】

[Consumption: The source of energy seems to be my physical and mental strength.] The more things I changed, the more mentally exhausted I became, and at the same time I noticed that some of the heat in my body disappeared out of thin air...... Changing the supply of energy in the body to the supply of electricity should be on the agenda. And the search for new energy sources is also time to enter the alternative topic, and the consumption of nuclear fusion batteries seems to be faster than I thought. 】

[Notes: I can use it to craft various mechanical devices...... This is the most appropriate role I can think of. By the way, can it be used in battle? For example, dissociating the opponent's armor and making my weapons sharper? Inflicting damage or hindrance on the opponent by controlling external substances? I can give it a try. 】

[Note 2: Wait, if all objects with energy will develop some resistance to this ability, then the energy contained in these ordinary substances that can be changed ...... Either these trace amounts of force will produce some small errors in the effect of the ability, or the effect of this ability will not be disturbed by it after crossing a certain threshold——]

Su Jing folded the paper, then stuffed it into his pocket, then took out another piece of manuscript paper, and wrote a large line of words on it with a pen:

[Now there is only one big problem: how to give this ability a trendy name? 】

"The tarot cards have been used...... The rock band is almost running out......" seemed to be stuck in some extremely difficult problem, Su Jing began to gnaw on the pencil in irritability, and soon gnawed all the wood on the outside of the pencil, leaving only the thin lead core inside.

"Rubik's Cube...... Rubik's Cube...... Rubik's Cube Building...... Rubik's Cube Factory...... Cosmic Rubik's Cube...... Cosmic Princess...... No, no, no. Either it's too plagiaristic or it's not trendy...... Rubik's Cube Sparkle...... I must be entangled in the word Rubik's Cube for what!! ”

But this ability simply exists for the word "Rubik's Cube"!! Su Jing thrust the lead core into his temple in agony—and then it was broken off by his tough epidermis.

"Broken Rubik's Cube!! Wait, there's also the Broken Rubik's Cube!! ”

"Break the Rubik's Cube. English is the Broken_Cube of broken cubes, which is pretty good......" Gage was lying on her single bed playing an online game on her tablet.

"No, ......" Su Jing anxiously circled around the room, "You still use the English way of thinking, although there is an official translation of the character card, but the language of our thinking is still different, one Chinese, one English...... The word broken, in Chinese, has been used too much in recent years. What Shattered Void, Shattered Hall, and all sorts of X-Broken Voids...... The fashionable value of the word has been depleted under overuse...... And breaking! The word itself is not as fashionable as broken, and it is for this reason that it does not give a ...... A sense of disgust that comes from being too familiar. Strangeness represents ......"

"Gao Shen?" Gage added.

“…… Uh, almost...... It's the kind of feeling that gives people ......'I don't know what's going on, but it still sounds amazing.' So I think that the name Broken Rubik's Cube is more stylish and compelling than the Broken Rubik's Cube - it's decided, it's the Broken Rubik's Cube! Anyway, the English name is turned over and turned over Broken_Cube......"

Halfway through speaking, Su Jing noticed that there was one less person in the room.

“………… What about Sadako? ”

Gage, who was facing away from him, rolled his eyes silently, then replied:

"She's gone shopping in Central Park, isn't there a lot of adventurers selling stuff there? She wanted to go shopping for something. ”

"Uh...... She's rich...... Do I mean universal points? ”

"After the story character is transformed into an adventurer, there will be an initial amount of money, which is about 1,000 universal points." Gage recalls slightly.

“…… I always feel a little uneasy......"
