I loaded the dream game

"Ah, if the teacher has other work to do, I won't bother you any more."

Mafuyu shook her head.

With the help of the holy sword given to her by the boy, her daily work efficiency improved a lot, and it was not a difficult thing to finish the remaining work.

Come to think of it, she just noticed that Kato Megumi had started calling her Teacher Madoka, just like Xia Zhi.

"That's great, Xiazhi-san." Kato Megumi said happily to the boy beside her.

"Um……"

Xia Zhi nodded listlessly in response

He had no interest in tutoring and now just wanted to sleep with his pillow.

"Brother, you can't sleep during tutoring." Xia Zhi kindly reminded.

Isn't it dangerous to fall asleep in front of the teacher? Especially in a one-on-one tutoring situation like this.

Xia Zhi was a little worried about the boy's usual attendance at school.

She didn't care too much about the fact that Teacher Madoka failed to wake Eluko up from the bed. She just mentioned it in passing at the time.

There is no other way around it. Except for her brother, no one in the family can easily wake up the little Star God Princess who likes to stay in bed.

"I studied very hard last night." Xia Zhi wanted to express the fact that he had studied seriously.

Finishing so many papers at once is something I have never done since I entered high school.

I have made it really hard for myself.

However, Mafuyu seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, her cheeks flushed again, and she couldn't help but glare at him.

Summer Solstice:…

Well, this aspect is also quite hard.

"Meow?"

At some point, the black and white kitten came to Manfuyu's side, sniffed her, and seemed to smell something familiar, and tilted its head in confusion.

Madoka hesitated for a moment and picked it up.

This time the kitten did not run away immediately. Instead, it sniffed her for a long time with its little nose and licked her hand with its pink little tongue. It seemed that after it finally confirmed the smell, it jumped out of her arms and ran to Xia Zhi.

Compared to before, at least it's an improvement.

Listening to Natsuori's sister's instruction to the kitten, "Don't be rude to guests," and the kitten's obviously careless response of "meow," Manfuyu thought.

Although it was tutoring, since it was mostly a review of the knowledge already learned, she couldn't help much except giving the key points of the textbook so that Kato Hui could memorize and study on her own. .........

And with Mando pretending to turn a blind eye and deliberately indulging himself, the sleepy boy finally got his wish and took a nap on the sofa...The only pity was that Cong Yu was shy in front of so many "strangers" and he couldn't hug her to sleep.

...Even if she was in ghost state, they couldn't see her.

Xia Zhi thought with some regret and closed his eyes.

As if by coincidence, the noise in the living room became much softer and it suddenly became quiet.

The ticking of the clock, the rustling of the pen on the paper, the girl studying hard beside me, the fragrant steam rising from the coffee cup, the lazy boy on the sofa, and the cat curled up in his arms and sleeping with him... Everything is so leisurely.

Unconsciously, Manfuyu seemed to be infected by this atmosphere and felt a little sleepy.

Just then, she noticed that Hubie was sitting quietly on the sofa opposite her, holding a cup in both hands and looking at this side obediently, looking particularly well-behaved and cute.

However, from the light that seemed to flash in her eyes like a data stream, it can be seen that at this moment, she is not as quiet as she appears.

"Hubby, what are you doing?" Unable to suppress his curiosity, Manfuyu asked softly.

Hubie tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied:

"Hubby... is currently conducting a deconstructive analysis of the spirit system, constructing a standard theoretical model of the corresponding rules, and conducting a theoretical study on the feasibility of replacing spiritual power with spirit power in the new model."

She paused for a moment, blinked her eyes and asked expectantly: "...Mr. Mafuyu, can you help with the tutoring?"

Mafuyu: “…”

She felt that the girl seemed to have too high expectations of herself.

Sorry, I'm just an ordinary high school teacher and this is a little beyond my scope.

.......

Chapter 1385 Xia Zhi: Am I finally the only ordinary person left in the family?

Just like many people have misunderstandings about "materialism", many people also have misunderstandings about science, and highly tie it together with various technological products of modern civilization, believing that the so-called scientific and technological civilization should be like this, or almost like this.

But in fact, this is just a kind of "prejudice".

The so-called science is not a certain theory, a certain system, or a certain worldview, but a method of understanding the world that is created and summarized by human beings themselves.

Based on observation, experiment and reasoning, we gradually master the objective rules of the current world by accumulating, verifying and correcting knowledge.

Any force, as long as it needs to have an impact on reality, must always interact with the objective world. A force that never interacts with objective things is essentially the same as "never existing from the beginning."

As long as there is objective interaction, it can be observed using various methods, and the most important first step is completed.

Whether it is magic, cultivation, metaphysics, or even the traditional definition of "idealism"... as long as a system follows a logic based on a certain setting, it can be summarized, verified, and concluded into a set of repeatable and falsifiable theories using scientific methodology, and through this theory, predictions, verifications, and self-improvement can be made, and a complete "theoretical system" is established.

To sum it up in the words of a certain beast, “If you can observe, you can interfere, and if you can interfere, you can control”,19 this is what science can do.

Theory always has an end, and there are always things in the world that are "just like this". Just like Xia Zhi's "setting" of reality, the rules at the bottom of the world and the logic of "must follow this development" above it are also a kind of "setting" to some extent.

Fundamentally speaking, science is the way humans explore the underlying "settings" of the world. What science does is not to create "settings", but to become familiar with and master "settings".

So, what should we do when, in addition to a set of familiar "settings", we encounter a completely new underlying "setting" that is completely incompatible with the original system?

It’s very simple, just use the same method to build a new theoretical model from scratch.

What Hubie is doing now is something similar.

"Model switching completed."

"【Dian Kai】——"The Neighboring World Arrives"!"

As the girl opened her white and tender little hands, a power that did not belong to this world descended, completely different from the elf power and magic of the past.

There were no extra light effects, no special phenomena. As an ordinary person, Xia Zhi only felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears, like tinnitus.

But Xia Zhi could feel that with the advent of the girl's power, although they were still in the original living room, another world made of spiritual power was superimposed on it. Under the influence of this new world, it was like entering a different dimension, and even the underlying rules had changed.

However, Hubie didn't seem very satisfied with this.

"It's my first attempt... Hubie, I can't control my strength well..."

She lowered her head slightly, as if she was reflecting on herself.

"Hubby has done a great job." Xia Zhi touched her head and comforted her.

The contact between the neighboring world and reality should have caused a strong space shock, but under Hubie's control, it only caused a little noise.

For a first try, it's pretty good, right?

Xia Zhi thought.

Just as Hubie said before, during this period of time she has been trying to deconstruct and analyze the power system called "spiritual power" that Xia Zhi brought back... although she had to slack off for a lot of time because of Xia Zhi.

The end result was that the attempt to directly replace spiritual power with spirit power failed because they were originally two systems with different "settings".

But the establishment of a new model for the spiritual power system was successful. For Hubie, it was nothing more than rebuilding a new model of spiritual power outside the existing theoretical model.

This is not a difficult task given sufficient observational data and experimental samples provided by the summer solstice.

As for the problem of incompatible powers, Hubie originally planned to try to use the four basic forces as a medium to convert elf power and spiritual power, but Xia Zhi thought it was too troublesome, so he simply added a setting for her to freely convert powers.

In this way, energy will no longer be a problem.

So, just like the birth of Mio, Hubie successfully created this realm called the Neighboring World.

Although it looks like it is only the size of a house, in fact, most of it does not overlap with the real world. As for its specific size, it depends on how much spiritual power Hubie invested in creating it.

Come to think of it this way... to some extent, Hubie can also be considered the "origin elf" of this world, right?

Xia Zhi thought as he looked at the mechanical girl who squinted her eyes comfortably under his hands.

If she wanted to, she should be able to create elves. But forget it.

Xia Zhi turned his attention back to this space.

According to Mio's experience, this "neighboring world" created by Hubie should be like the world created by Mio. As the creator, she has absolute control over this alien space, right?

In response, Hubie nodded in understanding and waved his hand gently.

The next moment, the scene in the living room changed.

Thick clouds, scarlet sky, and gray snowflakes slowly falling from the sky onto the decaying land, making everything gray.

In just a blink of an eye, it was as if I had arrived in a different world, and the original living room turned into a wasteland like the end of the world.

Xia Zhi quickly recognized that this was the place where he and Hubie met for the first time, right?

There is no displacement in space. In other words, is it directly reshaping the surrounding environment? Xia Zhi pondered in his heart.

Beside him, Xia Zhi was startled by the sudden change and quickly moved closer to him. Her little hands tightly grasped the corner of her brother's clothes, and she seemed to have found a sense of security and felt a little relieved.

After confirming that she would not be in any danger with her brother around, she hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached out her hand and caught a falling 873 "snowflake".

However, the gray-white object that fell into her palm did not have the coolness and purity of a snowflake, but instead seemed like the embers of a burnt object, giving people a feeling of death.

"Like the end of the world..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Zhi couldn't help but mutter.

Hubie tilted his head slightly: "In Hubie's opinion... this place is full of romance..."

Xia Zhi looked around, but couldn't see where there was any romance here.

...Perhaps the aesthetics of the Ex-Machinas are slightly different from those of humans. Xia Zhi thought that by now she could easily accept such a development.

In comparison, she cares more about

"Our living room..." Xia Zhi asked cautiously.

"It's okay. Hubie has kept the original data."

After briefly reminiscing about this scene that had become history in Disboard, Hubie reached out his hand again and restored the living room to its original appearance.

Fortunately, Mr. Manfuyu and Sister Hui had gone back at noon. They would have been scared to see such a scene, right?

Xia Zhi thought to herself.

So, what happened just now...

Facing his sister's confusion, Xia Zhi briefly explained to her

"...To put it simply, it's something like an alternate dimension."

After listening to his explanation, Xia Zhi had only one thought in his mind:

Ahh, has our house finally become another dimension?

.......

Chapter 1386: Xia Zhi also has things she doesn't want to change

Based on his absolute control over the "neighborhood", Hubie can arbitrarily modify the space and layout of the house without changing the original structure of the house.

In other words, next time we have guests coming, we won’t have to worry about not having enough rooms.

...Although even before, Hubie could do similar things through space expansion.

Likewise, interior renovations to individual rooms can be easily accomplished.

However, after asking about ideas for renovating the room, Xia Zhi finally chose to keep it as it was.

Just like Xia Zhi, she is also a nostalgic person who doesn't want her original life to change too much.

If we want to get to the bottom of it, this mentality is also because...

"Life is very happy now." said Xia Zhi.

It's natural that you don't want anything to change because you're happy enough.

Those who complain about the injustice of fate and say things like "I want to fight against fate" are just not happy enough, right? If they were happy enough, who would have nothing to do to fight against such a fate?
