Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 25 Buffering
I always think of those pioneers who sacrificed their precious lives for flying.

Hu Xiaobei felt a little admiration in his heart, however, as a reborn person, he already shouldered a great mission, so how could he risk his life in extreme sports again and again?

Right, that is it.

It has nothing to do with the high death rate of the pioneers, nor is it because they are afraid of death, they just want to be more cautious.

For example, jumping off a platform one or two meters high is also a good attempt.

Hu Xiaobei thought about the architectural environment on campus. A one-meter-high platform was easy to find, but a two-meter-high one was a bit difficult.

Alas, it’s not that I don’t dare to try, it’s just that external conditions severely restrict me.

Forget it, when I have some free time, I'll try it again from a height of one meter!
He gently put the books back on the shelf and walked slowly towards the door.

When passing by a bookshelf, he picked up three books that he had wanted to read for a long time and registered them, then walked back to the dormitory.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, just as Hu Xiaobei expected.

The other roommates in the dormitory had almost moved out their things. Hu Xiaobei had an idea and controlled his shadow to pick up a broom to clean up the mess.

When the shadow is in normal form, its speed is not much different from that of the real person, and there will be no slow-motion sweeping scene.

It's just that the speed will slow down during deformation. If it is transformed into a simple shape, it will take about three to five seconds.

If it is a little more complicated, it is normal to take more than thirty to fifty seconds.

Fortunately, it changes back to the shadow shape very quickly, which adds a bit of operational possibilities.

Hu Xiaobei used his spiritual sense to investigate the surrounding situation and found that the number of people in the nearby dormitories had decreased significantly.

Except for my own dormitory, all the students in the dormitory downstairs have moved out.

Most of the dormitories on the left and right sides and upstairs have been moved away, and only some students whose homes are farther away remain as they are for the time being.

The school will not be in such a hurry to force students to leave, so Hu Xiaobei can at least stay in the dormitory until the end of July or even mid-August.

In other words, he can actually live here until the freshmen sign up for military training.

Due to the excessive food consumption during this period, an average of 50 to 70 yuan is spent on food every day.

There is only about 11,000 yuan left from my grandmother. If I continue to eat like before, I don’t know if it will be enough to pay for college admission.

Lack of money is a very serious problem.

This is also one of the reasons why Hu Xiaobei wants to get the highest score possible.

As long as the score is high enough, schools, local businesses and local government departments may be willing to help you.

It is not impossible for the university to reduce or waive tuition fees for you, or even get a scholarship after admission.

By then, not to mention the starting capital or anything like that, at least ensuring daily living expenses should not be a problem.

Of course, this is just Hu Xiaobei's wishful thinking, and it is hard to say whether it can be realized.

Due to some indescribable reasons, many provinces and cities will not announce the scores of the top scorers in this year's college entrance examination, nor will they make high-profile financial rewards.

Hu Xiaobei was afraid of these vulgar monetary rewards and did not stick to his bottom line.

I remember that Hubei did not follow this trend. The top scorer's score was announced, but Hu Xiaobei could not remember it clearly. He seemed to have the impression that it was over 700 points.

Moreover, this year there was a candidate in Shandong who scored 749 points, which is really incomparable.

From this point of view, there is no need to think too much about this aspect, and I may not be able to get the top prize or anything like that.

After all, his math is a bit shaky.

Even if Chinese, English and liberal arts are calculated based on full marks, it is only 600 points.

As for mathematics...well, let’s not talk about it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the college entrance examination is over and he has a day off tomorrow, Hu Xiaobei decided to develop his shadow ability.

My spiritual perception abilities were used every day, so there wasn't much left to develop. However, the combination of shadow control and the ability to transform the real into the virtual offered endless possibilities.

For example, liquid metal robots. If we remove some high-tech additions and just look at the normal state of liquid metal robots,

Hu Xiaobei's shadow can do many things that liquid metal robots can do.

Liquid metal robots typically have the ability to change shape, self-repair, move flexibly and be highly adaptable.

The so-called morphological change means that it can change its own shape at will, from liquid to solid, or present various complex shapes.

For example, it can simulate various object forms to adapt to the needs of different scenarios, such as transforming into tools, disguising itself as part of the surrounding environment, etc.

The combination of controlling and deforming shadows and turning reality into illusion can barely meet some of the requirements in this regard.

As for the so-called self-repair, there is no need to mention it. The shadow will not have any problems such as damage. Even if it is blown up, it is only a matter of thought to condense again.

Looking at its flexible mobility, liquid metal can flow through various surfaces and gaps, is not restricted by conventional terrain, and can drill into small spaces to perform tasks.

Its high adaptability enables it to adapt well to different environmental conditions such as temperature and pressure, and it can still maintain its functions and carry out corresponding activities in relatively harsh environments.

These are not a problem for Shadow.

Judging from these two aspects alone, excluding the control distance issue and Hu Xiaobei himself, Shadow is the complete winner.

Generally speaking, everyone has their own problems and also their own advantages.

Hu Xiaobei's mind moved, and the shadow seemed like lively ink, silently seeping into the sole of his shoe.

In a moment, a circular shadow of about one square meter slowly spread out under the feet, like a dark thin blanket lying quietly there.

Hu Xiaobei bent his knees slightly, and his leg muscles were as tight as strings.

There was a "whoosh" sound.

The whole person rose from the ground like an arrow, stayed in the air for a short time, and then jumped up again with the help of the force.

Then, with a thought, he instantly displayed his ability to turn the virtual into the real.

At this moment, he was like a light feather falling. When the soles of his shoes touched the circular shadow formed by the shadow, the feeling was completely different from the hard landing before.

There was no longer that uncomfortable numb feeling in my feet, and there was no annoying recoil from the ground.

It's like walking by the edge of a swimming pool, with your feet lightly touching the water, splashing slight ripples.

It feels like stepping on a pile of fluffy sand or soft cotton, and you can feel a gentle force quietly dissipating the force of falling, and your body is stable.

Hu Xiaobei's interest grew, and the height of his jumps kept rising, from jumping from the ground at the beginning to jumping off the bed in the dormitory.

The magical effect still continued, and every time I landed it felt like I was stepping on invisible clouds.

At this moment, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes, and a sense of confidence arose in his heart.

Standing in the middle of the dormitory, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and concentrated on mobilizing his shadow.

I saw a shadow slowly climbing up his arm like black silk, gradually wrapping around his fist.

The originally ordinary fist now seemed to be wearing a pair of mysterious and powerful black gloves.

He leaned slightly to the side, his eyes fixed on the slightly mottled wall of the dormitory, and with an extremely slow and cautious speed, he gently struck the wall with his fist wrapped in shadow.

The moment the fist touched the wall, it did not make the dull sound that one would have imagined. Instead, it felt like it was sinking into some soft and elastic substance.

Hu Xiaobei could clearly feel that the shadow produced a strange buffering force at the point of contact, making the collision between his fist and the wall extremely soft.

He increased his strength until he exerted all his strength. The shadow deformed slightly, but it still firmly protected his fist. The wall only made a dull sound, without any damage or cracks.

Hu Xiaobei was secretly delighted, as the shadow's protective and buffering capabilities far exceeded his expectations.
