I am weak and friendly

Chapter 436 I actually mastered a human race heaven-rank cultivation technique. Could I be a genius?

Van Lager was completely exhausted.

In Tang Yiping's view, Van Lager only taught him four times.

In fact, Van Lager has tried about 10,000 times in the past ten hours.

However, for a human being with only linear thinking and living in the three-dimensional world, only three or four of those moments remained in Tang Yiping's memory and reality.

Just like how no matter how much humans talk to ants, it's just boring noise to them, perhaps only leaving a slight sense of fright.

but……

Van Lager ultimately succeeded.

Van Lager was pleased.

Perhaps, it was only after becoming Tang Yiping's subordinate that he realized he didn't actually want to be eaten.

Van Lager has a secret.

He actually possesses more than just multidimensional cognition.

He was actually already halfway to breaking through the dimensional barrier.

I'm about to break through to a higher level.

Shedding the label of "intellectual disability" and entering the realm of "low IQ".

Among their barbarian race, Vanrag was considered a gifted individual.

He was considered a wise man among the intellectually challenged barbarian race.

However, in most cases, Van Lager would not allow this secret to be exposed.

After all, weaknesses can also be strengths. Without the racial label of "low intelligence," it would be difficult for the Barbarian Spirits to join the elimination team.

Of course, it was also because of this that Vanrag was judged by the [Survival Guide for the Weak] to have too poor talent and could only learn skills at the level of CDEF. In the end, he could only change to the [Loyal Servant] class and specialize in the [Firewalker] class, which was very restrictive and whose ending was definitely not good.

This forces them to become mere appendages of others, and often makes them the first to be sacrificed.

Van Lager himself never expected that he would be chosen because of his intellectual disability to do something that was completely unsuitable for people with intellectual disabilities.

There is a concept on Earth called the "curse of knowledge," which states that once a person learns a certain kind of knowledge, it becomes very difficult for them to understand the way of thinking of people who do not know that kind of knowledge.

The same applies to cognitive levels.

People with linear thinking like Tang Yiping find it difficult to understand those with higher or even multidimensional cognitive abilities, and vice versa.

Spanning two levels basically represents the limit at which they can "touch each other a little bit".

If Van Lag had been even a fraction more intelligent, he would have been just like Stoka, utterly bewildered by Tang Yiping's "Mathematical Analysis III".

They might get eaten by Tang Yiping.

Now, all he can say is...

Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!
After ten thousand attempts, he finally succeeded!

Different levels of cognitive ability lead to different understandings of the world.

Human language is almost incapable of describing, or intuitively understanding, concepts such as higher dimensions, multidimensionality, and dimensional breaking.

However, from a perspective that humans can understand, let's consider only the category of "time".

In the eyes of beings with multidimensional cognition, time is a physical concept that can be traced back and continued. Just like any other coordinate in space, you can always return to the same time as if you were returning to the same place.

Therefore, after realizing she had followed the wrong target, Silas-19 could go back to the moment she met Tang Yiping and start over. Then, after being intercepted by Vanlag, she would realize her "mistake" (or rather, the mistake she imagined) and return to the time before she left to continue her pursuit of Du Qiming and his wife.

This is not multiple timelines; it is still within the same timeline. There are no branching or interweaving timelines. All of this is indeed happening simultaneously. It's just that there are no beings in the human world with multidimensional cognition, so most people will not see the same person "at different times."

In a society constructed by multidimensional cognitive beings, this is perfectly normal. Beings that break through dimensional cognition are somewhat like those who have disrupted the timeline—but only somewhat, since the timeline is merely a concept conjured by human imagination.

They can do completely different things on the same object at the same time and in the same place.

But ultimately, humans may only be able to perceive and remember one or two of them.

It's like having ten people talking to you at the same time; you might only remember or hear one or two of them. This is due to the limitations of human cognitive levels.

but……

Geese leave their mark as they fly by; nothing is without a trace.

Van Lager's ten thousand efforts finally yielded results.

Tang Yiping learned it.

No, at least I'm almost there.

So, Van Lager made his ten thousand and Nth attempt.

“My lord, please look.” Van Lag used his thick, rock-like arms to hold a pen and wrote on the paper: “Your teacher’s assignment for you is to ‘construct a bivariate function f(x, y) such that its partial derivatives at the origin (0, 0) all exist, but the function is discontinuous at the origin, and prove its correctness.’”

"The existence of partial derivatives usually means that the function is stable at that point and should be continuous. But this problem requires breaking this understanding and finding a function that exists locally but is broken globally."

"This kind of function actually exists everywhere in our daily lives; it's just describing a dimensional gap. If you look at it from a slightly higher perspective, you can understand it..."

As he said this, Van Lager couldn't help but feel nervous.

You should understand now, right?
Maybe?
Then, he noticed a clear understanding in Tang Yiping's eyes.

That's it!

If it were before, Tang Yiping would have thought...

Are you speaking human language? Why can't I understand it?
But now!

Although it's not as straightforward as ordinary addition and subtraction, it's already somewhat like advanced mathematics or classical mechanics—things that are tangible and can be understood through instinct and traditional cognition.

"So..." Tang Yiping picked up his pen and began to write on the paper, "To construct such a function, all I really need is..."

Tang Yiping casually scribbled a couple of lines on the paper, and Van Lager nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, that's it! You understand completely!"

I understand completely?

My God, could it be that I've unknowingly mastered a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique of the human race?!
Am I a genius?
"Hahahaha, even the human race's Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques are nothing special!" Tang Yiping only then realized he was hungry. "To celebrate, let's go have a big meal!"

Van Lag: Huh?
In the end, they won't still eat me, will they?

He looked around and realized that he was the only one who looked like a feast.

Then he saw Tang Yiping knock on Xu Songnian's door across the street.

"Old Xu, Old Xu, I've mastered 'Mathematical Analysis III' (the introductory chapter, omitted here)! Let's go out for a big meal to celebrate!"

"You've learned it? Wait... why are you still here? What time is it? Have you handed in your homework?"

"Doing...homework...I...I'm going to...it's too late!"

Tang Yiping grabbed the piece of paper he had just scribbled on, turned around and ran!
After running a couple of steps, he realized he had forgotten about his wheelchair, so he quickly went back to get it and ran with Stoka.

In a fit of extreme anger, SMA patients can even run a few more steps.

"If I'm not dead, let's go out for a big meal!" His voice carried from afar.

Tang Yiping urged the bull-horse Stoka to gallop wildly while waving the piece of paper in his hand.

Xu Songnian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
