Chapter 5 On the Practicality of Stand-ins
A week passed in the blink of an eye, Qiao Fan was only hospitalized for a few days before returning to school, although the principal promised to cover all his medical expenses and hospitalization expenses, but the academic courses that fell because of hospitalization were a real loss.
When he wasn't in class, Qiao Fan ran to the back mountain of the school, often loading a bag of miscellaneous things, and then coming back with an empty bag. The roommates were curious about what Qiao Fan was doing.
At this time, Qiao Fan was standing in a corner of the back mountain, holding a small stone in his hand, and with a movement in his heart, the small stone quietly disappeared in his hand.
Then he picked up an empty bottle and stuffed a few small gravels in it, and without the bottle being destroyed, the small gravel disappeared.
Then Qiao Fan clenched the empty bottle in his hand again, and with a movement in his heart, only half of the empty bottle in his hand was left, and the other half was gone. And Qiao Fan's feet still have all kinds of empty bottles that have inexplicably disappeared in half.
Qiao Fan has been testing the ability of the "Killer Queen" for this time, and then summed up some information about the ability.
First, the explosion of the first bomb is from the inside out, without emitting any sound or light, leaving no traces, as is the case with the exploded target caused by both detonation modes.
Second, when the "Killer Queen" touches an object that turns into a bomb, it can be set to explode on the object itself, or the object that touches the bomb explodes, regardless of whether it is a life or not, as long as it can be touched, it can be detonated.
Third, if the "Killer Queen" touches a whole, it can be partially detonated and partially retained.
Qiao Fan also tested his limits by the way.
The staying power of "Killer Queen" is B-level, which is not bad.
However, the effect of the stand-in depends on one's mental power, one's mental power is very weak, and if you simply summon the stand-in to appear, it can last for about 2 minutes; Using a double to deal physical damage will affect the stand-in battery life; Using the first bomb ability will greatly reduce the stand-in endurance.
At present, in order not to make too much movement, Qiao Fan has not tested the limit of the bomb, such as how big an object can be turned into a bomb and detonated, and he has tested it with some inconspicuous things such as small stones.
There should be a limit to the ability of the stand-in, although Qiao Fan is looking forward to the "Killer Queen" bombing the earth, but he doesn't believe it too much, and he doesn't dare to try.
Qiao Fan guessed that the size of the bomb that could be turned into should be related to his own mental power, and his mental power was lower than that of ordinary people, so he might only be able to blow up small stones.
A few days ago, Qiao Fan deliberately walked around the back mountain, and after staying away from the grove, it should be even more inaccessible, Qiao Fan has been staring at a big rock here for a long time, and it is a big rock that is enough to be a person high, which is very suitable for testing the limit of his current bomb power.
Qiao Fan knew that the "Killer Queen" could blow people up, but he didn't dare to try it, even if it was a creature, he just caught a few cockroaches and sent them back to the west.
If Qiao Fan's guess is correct, the strength of the stand-in ability will also be related to mental power, then the first bomb that he can make should have a limit, and at present, the limit of making and detonating multiple bombs in a short period of time has only been tested, but there is no test whether a single bomb has an upper limit on volume.
With apprehension, Qiao Fan summoned the 'Killer Queen', touched the big rock in front of him, and then took a few steps back.
Detonate!
"Bang"
Unlike the previous silent explosion, this explosion made a lot of noise, and at the moment of detonation, Qiao Fan felt dizzy, and then the "Killer Queen" moved in front of him to protect him.
Qiao Fan shook for a moment before coming back to his senses, saw some gravel in front of him, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the big rock.
The big rock has disappeared from the place, but it is not completely blown up, it explodes from the inside out, but there are still some debris splashed out, just now the "Killer Queen" is in front of Qiao Fan to protect Qiao Fan from being injured by these flying gravel.
Sure enough, there is a limit, just a stone that is enough to be a person tall cannot be completely blasted, and it is estimated that the complete volume will not exceed two cubic meters.
The explosion just now was a bit loud and might be heard, so Qiao Fan quickly packed up his things and left the back mountain.
Soon after he left, some young couples who were dating nearby came to check on the situation, and saw the pit left by the original location of the big rock, as well as the surrounding rubble, so a rumor about the explosion of the stone in the back mountain began to circulate in the school again.
Returning to the dormitory to pass by a basketball court, Qiao Fan lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, and suddenly his left hand stretched out uncontrollably to the side, and then a basketball flew into his hand quickly and was taken steadily.
"Classmate ......"
A classmate who threw the basketball out of his hand was stunned in place before he finished speaking, originally thinking that the basketball was going to smash and hurt someone, but he didn't expect this person to take the basketball with one hand without raising his head.
Qiao Fan was also stunned, turned his head to look at the basketball he was holding steadily, his weak fingers couldn't hold it at all, it was five fingers that others couldn't see and clasped the basketball tightly, if it was his former self, he would probably be smashed by this basketball and fall down.
Among the boys playing basketball, a tall boy whose eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Fan, raised his hand to beckon Qiao Fan, and shouted, "Xiaofan, are you okay?" ”
Qiao Fan heard the voice and looked up, it turned out to be his roommate Xu Shihao, tall and burly, from the school basketball association, and he was basically playing when he wasn't in class.
"I'm fine!"
Qiao Fan also waved his hand to say hello, and then threw the basketball back in his hand.
Qiao Fan just wanted to throw it away, but the 'Killer Queen' seemed to have his own thoughts. Qiao Fan gently took out the basketball, and under the throw of the "Killer Queen", drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then fell into the basketball hoop in the distance.
There was an uproar on the field, the playing ball was stupid, and some of the little girls who were watching were also stupid.
Qiao Fan was outside the court, and he didn't even look at the basket and threw it casually, but he threw it into the basket, and it was still hollow into the net.
Xu Shihao looked at the basketball that was still playing on the ground, and then looked at Qiao Fan, who was also a little surprised not far away, and was a little surprised. Qiao Fan has always been completely uninterested in various sports, but he didn't expect to shoot so well? Even if it's luck, being able to pitch from such a distance is a talent.
Qiao Fan looked at the hollow basketball, then looked at his hands, and felt the eyes around him, some surprised, some admired, at this time he was in the spotlight.
Qiao Fan scratched his head at a loss, he was a little embarrassed to be watched by a group of people like this, but it felt like this was pretty good?
Qiao Fan felt that the "Killer Queen" had been low-key in Kira Yoshikage's hands for too long, and he always liked to find some presence in himself to show off.
It seems that relying on the ability of a stand-in to show off is also a good use?
Qiao Fan quickly recalled in his mind some of the online novels he had read, when the protagonist began to pretend to be slapped in the face after getting all kinds of anti-heaven plug-ins.
He didn't expect that one day he would be able to become such an existence, and it would be so cool for others to look at him and pretend to be forced.
At this time, Xu Shihao had already walked in front of Qiao Fan, and he patted Qiao Fan's shoulder with his big hand: "Xiao Fanzi, I didn't expect it, you look thin and weak, and you lose a shot accurately?" Would you like to play with us? ”
"I, I won't, it's just luck......" Qiao Fan doesn't know how to play basketball, and wants to shirk it.
As a result, Xu Shihao put his arm around Qiao Fan's shoulders and walked to the basketball court: "Oh, it's okay, I'll teach you, it's a waste if you don't play with such a good talent." ”
Qiao Fan really wanted to try, so he followed Xu Shihao into the basketball court half-pushed and half-pushed, anyway, it was just playing and losing the ball, not a game.
"Come brothers, introduce my roommate Qiao Fan, I just saw him throw the ball and it seems to be quite accurate, bring it over to play."
Xu Shihao enthusiastically introduced Qiao Fan to his partners who played together, and everyone nodded to Qiao Fan in a friendly manner, only a young man with white hair and a middle comb looked at Qiao Fan with a displeased face: "It's just a lucky layman, bringing it over will only interfere with our interest in playing." ”
Xu Shihao frowned, looked at the middle head and said, "Xu Kun, Qiao Fan is my friend, how much will you give me face?" Let him play two hands, who doesn't play basketball from the beginning? ”
Xu Kun waved his hand to the side, picked up the basketball on the ground, slapped it downward, dribbled the ball under one crotch to the other, and then threw it to Xu Shihao.
Qiao Fan had a stiff smile on his face and took the ball, he didn't know why this person named Xu Kun was inexplicably hostile to him, and he didn't know him, but he didn't care, but followed Xu Shihao to learn basketball.
Qiao Fan only learned dribbling and pitching briefly, and a general understanding of gestures and basic rules was enough to entertain himself.
Xu Shihao saw that Qiao Fan's basic movements were almost complete, so he directly pulled him outside the three-point line, pointed to the basket and said, "This is the three-point line, try to shoot from here?" ”
Qiao Fan glanced at the basket, held the ball with both hands, raised his arms and bent slightly, and threw the ball out with his fingers and wrists, and at the same time, the "Killer Queen" that no one could see appeared behind him, and the "Killer Queen" was thrown again at the same time as the basketball was taken off.
The basketball streaked through the air, and another hollow into the net.
"Wow!"
Some of the onlookers shouted, and the eyes of many girls were focused on Qiao Fan.
Xu Shihao opened his mouth wide, he also thought that Qiao Fan might be lucky, but it was a bit outrageous to have two consecutive good luck, right?
It is not difficult for those who play all year round for them to shoot three-point shots, and it is also possible to enter the net hollowly, but Qiao Fan, a layman like Qiao Fan, who didn't even know the standard pitching gestures a few minutes ago, can make the three-point line hollow into the net, which is really a bit shocking.
"Xiaofan, is it really the first time you have played basketball?" Xu Shihao patted Qiao Fan on the shoulder, "You kid, this talent is too strong, let's try again in another position." ”
Xu Shihao pulled Qiao Fan to change several positions, and with the help of the "Killer Queen", without exception, they were all hollow into the net, and Qiao Fan instantly became the focus of the court.
Qiao Fan was praised by a group of people in the center, and a female classmate handed her water, Qiao Fan had never experienced such treatment before, but he was very happy.
"Hey, it's just accurate to shoot, or to pitch immediately, what's the big deal." Xu Kun, who was in the middle of the split, squeezed through the crowd, looked at Qiao Fan with a basketball and said, "Do you dare to compete with me?" ”
When Qiao Fan heard this, he looked at the other party with a puzzled expression: "Why?" You play basketball every day compared to me, a guy who just learned basketball? ”
Xu Shihao's face is not very good-looking, Qiao Fan is his brother in the same bedroom, this person has been finding fault and not giving him face at all, and now he is still provoking.
Xu Shihao stepped forward, blocked in front of Qiao Fan, and said coldly to Xu Kun: "Xu Kun, what do you mean?" How did my brother provoke you? You haven't given a good face since you saw him, and you have to compete with others as soon as you learn basketball? What about your face? ”
Xu Kun took a deep breath, pushed Xu Shihao away, looked at Qiao Fan and said, "The two of us are competing, you will leave Xu Kexin if you lose!" ”
