Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 18: Transforming the Real into the Virtual
Hu Xiaobei stood in the bathroom, calmed down his excitement a little, and prepared to try the shadow's ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.

He stared at the shadow under his feet, took a deep breath, his eyes filled with concentration and anticipation.

The shadow seemed to be awakened, and a faint glow appeared at the edge that only Hu Xiaobei could perceive.

The shadow slowly began to move, like an animated character struggling to enter three-dimensional space from a two-dimensional plane, but its movements were extremely slow and unstable.

Hu Xiaobei could keenly sense that there was another wonderful connection between him and the shadow, two invisible bonds that closely connected him to the shadow.

One controls the shadow to transform and perceive with the spiritual consciousness, and the other turns the virtual into the real.

The shadow's posture gradually became light and agile. Although its movements were a little slow, they had a unique rhythm and did not appear abrupt or unstable.

Hu Xiaobei tried to let Shadow touch the soap on the sink.

The shadow is like a flexible silk thread, lightly wrapped around the soap.

Then it bends and stretches gracefully, wrapping the soap securely around it, and then slowly lifts it upwards.

The whole process was smooth and natural, just like Hu Xiaobei picking up soap with his fingertips.

The soap remained motionless on the shadow's "palm", without any signs of shaking or falling.

Hu Xiaobei was delighted and controlled the shadow to play with the soap, sometimes tossing it up gently, sometimes rotating it between his hands.

Even when the spiritual perception ability is activated at the same time, one can still have the ultimate sense of touch in disguise.

The whole process is just like playing with it with your own hands, and the weight you feel is not much different from when you pick it up with your hands.

As for mental consumption, it is almost zero, or it is bound to the consumption of shadow control and deformation.

This is very interesting. You should know that within a six-meter range of itself, the consumption of shadow control is almost negligible.

This is just like a person walking and breathing normally, how can it be considered as consumption?

However, the consumption of virtual and real abilities is not proportional to the consumption of his own physical energy.

Apart from the slight mental consumption when activating the ability at the beginning, the consumption of controlling the shadow to move objects and controlling the shadow deformation are connected.

In other words, using shadows to enter the factory and drive screws is also a good choice.

After all, with his strength, moving objects weighing less than ten kilograms is a piece of cake for Shadow.

Hu Xiaobei set his eyes on the red bucket beside him.

While controlling the shadow to slightly lift the empty bucket, he extended the shadow's arm and turned on the faucet next to it.

As the amount of water in the barrel continued to increase, Hu Xiaobei once again controlled the shadow hand to turn off the faucet.

At this time, the 15-liter bucket was filled with about half a bucket of tap water.

If we calculate based on the fact that one liter of water is approximately equal to one kilogram, the shadow is equivalent to holding a weight of 6-7 kilograms.

This also indirectly illustrates the strength of Hu Xiaobei at that time. Of course, there is no standard tool to measure it, and the data is for entertainment reference only.

Hu Xiaobei stretched out his hand to pick up the bucket, feeling its weight.

Then he directed the shadow to slowly wrap around the bucket and lift the bucket up bit by bit. In contrast, the shadow could actually reduce the weight in disguise.

In view of this, Hu Xiaobei held the bucket in one hand and kept adding water to the bucket.

Finally, when the weight exceeded the current limit of the virtual and real capacity, the height of the bucket began to slowly decrease, which shows that it can still hold on even when the load exceeds the limit.

However, Hu Xiaobei's own mental energy consumption is constantly increasing.

After trying to stabilize the supply of mental power and stop increasing it, the shadow reached its limit and quietly dissipated into nothingness.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaobei had been holding the bucket with his hands, so it was not broken.

It’s about time to go out, otherwise it would cause misunderstandings among my roommates.

Hu Xiaobei proudly manipulated the shadow, quickly applying soap to himself and pulling the towel back and forth, scrubbing his body. It was really convenient, there were no blind spots when scrubbing his back, and it was very efficient.

If you think about it this way, this shadow has many uses. Even if you don't have toilet paper when you go to the bathroom, you can still...

I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it, the smell is too strong.

If I really do this, this shadow will be ruined. I don't want it... Never mind, I can still use it after washing it...

In general, the combination of controlling shadow deformation and transforming reality into virtuality is far more than 1+1>2.

The combination of the two can create endless possibilities.

To give the simplest example, from now on, Hu Xiaobei no longer needs to carry a key.

Seeing that his thoughts were becoming increasingly distracted, Hu Xiaobei shook his head and cleared his mind.

He quickly dried himself, put on his clothes, and went back to his little corner to study.
-
Thursday, October 6, sunny.

The sunlight, which had been dormant for a long time, was like a warrior breaking out of a cage. It broke through the heavy blockade of clouds with unstoppable momentum, and rushed down like a surging golden tide with endless heat and passion.

The light was like a peerless sharp blade, killing gods and Buddhas who stood in its way. It swept through the enemy with the force of sweeping across thousands of troops, and finally returned to this familiar classroom.

Bright and exclusive marks are drawn on the desks and the ground, as if an unruly dream is declaring its existence, strong and dazzling.

Every inch of air in the classroom seemed to be ignited, and the entire space was filled with vigorous hope and restless atmosphere.

Hu Xiaobei strode into the classroom, looking at his energetic classmates gathered in groups of three or five, and felt the warm scene.

Even a silent heart began to throb a little, as if it was swept up by the heat wave of youth and involuntarily integrated into it.

He came to the podium, jumped lightly, and landed in his seat nimbly and lightly. He spread his legs, pulled out the bench under the desk, and sat on it.

The whole set of movements is as graceful as flowing clouds and running water, like a nimble bird returning to its nest, or as neat as a knight sheathing his sword, fully displaying the unrestrained and uninhibited spirit of youth.

Lin Yue was thinking about the wrong questions in the test paper when Hu Xiaobei's "heroic" appearance instantly caught her attention.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and was stunned for a moment, then her bright big eyes were filled with admiration, helplessness and doting.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip, as if to swallow the anger in her heart, and then her slender fingers gracefully lifted the hair behind her ears.

Xu Chen, who was sitting in the back row, saw the whole scene. His brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and a strong feeling of jealousy inexplicably surged in his heart.

He stood up in a flash and sneered without thinking, "This is a classroom, not a basketball court. A student is acting so recklessly and it will affect other students' studies!"

When Lin Yue heard Xu Chen's words full of gunpowder, she frowned slightly and turned to look at Xu Chen.

Although her voice was gentle, it was filled with dissatisfaction: "Xu Chen, how can you talk like that? Hu Xiaobei didn't even touch your seat, why make such a fuss?"

After being so lightly criticized by Lin Yue, Xu Chen felt like a deflated ball. He became completely dejected and his face involuntarily felt hot.

He reached out and pushed the black-framed metal glasses on his nose a little uncomfortably, explaining with an evasive look in his eyes.

"I...I'm doing this so that everyone can have a quiet learning environment and study well."

Lin Yue tilted her head slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, and a smile filled the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, gentle and soft.

Or like a dewy spring flower just beginning to bloom, elegant and tolerant, softly saying, "I see you're just making a fuss a little bit.

For a moment, Xu Chen felt like he was on a roller coaster and was left speechless.

The nameless anger in his heart had just begun to rise, but when he thought of Lin Yue's sweet smile that was as sweet as a blooming spring flower, his temper suddenly disappeared and he could only sit back in his seat.

At this time, Lin Yue once again turned his gaze to Hu Xiaobei, looking at his nonchalant and free-spirited look.

The image of his smooth and flowing entrance appeared involuntarily in my mind.

A hint of shyness quietly crept onto her cheek, and a barely perceptible joy appeared in her eyes.
