Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 140, Room, Overclocking!

The days seemed to fall into an eerie silence.

Jiang Lang's life became more regular. Every night, he would have dinner with Gu Manzhi, and after dinner, he would rush to Bai Zhaoli's training room, teach her, and then go home to sleep.

Then, the next day, he arrived at the lab on time and worked with Su Yunchang to explore the overclocking of the room.

However, the process was not very smooth. Jiang Lang's body could accept and recognize the decay waves of the second harmonic of the room, but he still could not figure out what the function of the decay waves in this frequency band was.

During this process, the two collected all the information and ancient books about the Room constellation, sorted out the information, and tried each function one by one from beginning to end according to the confidence level of each function.

But after trying for a whole week, there was still no progress.

Su Yunchang scratched his head anxiously: "This isn't right, is overclocking really that difficult?"

"Teacher, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Jiang Lang, on the other hand, was much calmer: "When we were exploring overclocking, the process was much more difficult than this. We spent more than a year experimenting with overclocking just one of the Horned Stars."

Su Yunchang shook his head repeatedly: "That's different. That was the first time overclocking, mainly because the process needed to be explored. But I already have a mature process, so why is it still so slow?"

His face looked somewhat gloomy.

This was the first time Jiang Lang had ever seen such an expression on his face. When he was doing experiments with Xu Yanzhi before, they often encountered problems, many of which took several weeks to solve. But the old man was still able to remain patient and think of solutions at his own pace.

But this time, he was clearly in a hurry.

I don't know if it's because the overclocking solution came from my daughter.

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "It's alright, let's keep watching, there's still plenty of time."

talking.

He sprawled out on the sofa and picked up the documents to read.

He wasn't in a hurry at all. Back when he was researching overclocking with Su Su, the information he could gather was very limited.

Now, with the databases of Qida and Xinghuo backing them up, they don't have to worry about data at all.

Summarize and organize them, then try them one by one.

The difficulty lies not in the trial and error of the functions, but in turning the functions into real superpowers. This process will likely be very difficult.

do not care.

First, find it.

The Fire Pig (室火猪) has eleven star officials: Room (室), Departure Palace (离宫), Thunder and Lightning (雷电), and Wall Formation (垒壁阵).

Each one has its corresponding meaning, and a considerable number of them already correspond to the basic functions of the Room constellation. For example, the Li Palace belongs to fire, and the Wall Formation carries some sealing and defensive functions.

They tried all the remaining directions, but none of them corresponded to the overclocking properties.

Something doesn't feel right.

"Huh? Xiao Jiang!"

Su Yunchang suddenly spoke.

Jiang Lang looked up: "Teacher, please speak."

Su Yunchang waved the book in his hand: "Have you read Journey to the West?"

"what?"

Jiang Lang was taken aback: "You mean the 'pig' in 'Shihuozhu' is the same as the 'pig' in 'Zhu Bajie' (Pigsy)?"

Su Yunchang nodded: "Yes!"

"I've read this several times, but I remember that in the nineteenth chapter it says that the Wood Mother and Metal Father are originally of one mind, and the Yellow Woman and the Red Child are originally without difference. The mainstream view is that Pigsy belongs to the Wood element."

His previous life was Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the Heavenly River Navy, corresponding to the Gui Water element, symbolizing comfort and desire. These two interpretations don't seem to fit well with the "Room Fire Pig," do they?

Jiang Lang was somewhat baffled. Even the wildest unofficial histories in the world weren't as wild as novels. He felt that Su Yunchang's approach of finding a solution from this was truly far too far-fetched.

Moreover, even if you look for it here, the attributes don't match.

Su Yunchang shook his head and threw the book at him: "Different versions have different interpretations. In this version, he claims to be a Fire Pig descended to the mortal realm."

After successfully completing his pilgrimage, he was appointed as the Cleansing Altar Messenger. In Buddhism, "clean" represents purification and the removal of impurities. Unlike the stillness in the common people's minds, it carries a strong fire attribute.

You think—could this fire, and the fire of the Fire Pig, be the same one?

"Whoa!"

Jiang Lang sat up, his eyes shining, and met Su Yunchang's gaze.

If that's really the case, then the logic actually makes sense.

Su Yunchang smoothed his greasy white hair: "Shall we go?"

"Walk!"

Jiang Lang stood up excitedly and strode outside.

Su Yunchang reminded, "Bring your trash with you, including household waste and lab waste, one set for each."

Jiang Lang: "————"

One hour later.

In the training room.

The master and apprentice stared at the clumps of ashes on the ground, speechless for a long time.

This time, they really found it!

Burning garbage is pollution-free and odorless. It is extremely fast and completely burns the garbage, producing no waste from incomplete combustion. Even when burning inferior plastics, it does not produce even a trace of dioxins.

This seems unremarkable, just like an incinerator.

However, when the incinerator burns the corpses, it can also cause grease to splatter and explode.

This is an internal fire that erupts directly from inside each cell, eliminating the concepts of "scorching" and "boiling oil." It directly forms the final product of complete combustion in one step, releasing energy with almost no loss.

These energies even include decay waves.

It will either explode directly inside the fire cage, or disperse evenly into the air after the fire cage is removed.

The two words "purification altar" are simply terrifying.

The only thing to be careful about is...

Different items require different output power per unit mass, and living things require an alarmingly high amount of power, especially living things with extraordinary attributes, whose power requirements are beyond comprehension.

Fortunately, the energy released during their incineration will certainly meet subsequent energy needs.

The main challenges to overcome after overclocking a room are increasing power and controlling power output.

Su Yunchang wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Xiao Jiang, I'll help you find a way to increase the power. From now on, you'll be in charge of handling all the waste in the lab. I'll hire someone specifically to sort the mixed waste into blind boxes for you. The key to your training is to quickly identify the waste for incineration."

Jiang Lang: "————"

good good!

Did I become a saint by burning garbage at Qiqihar University?

Gu Manzhi usually only comes to the boardroom building in the evening because Jiang Lang is generally busy during the day. She shows her face in the evening and directly asks Jiang Lang out for dinner.

She could sense that since she had toned down her aggressiveness in their interactions, Jiang Lang had become more at ease and his attitude towards her had improved considerably.

Most importantly, Jiang Lang's mental state improved day by day.

She didn't know if it was because of herself.

But thinking about it, it seems there aren't any other factors.

Because Bai Zhaoli hasn't even been to Qida University these past few days.

The dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.

If you have patience, even if Jiang Lang is a rock, you can warm it up by understanding it.

Gu Manzhi arrived very early today, not because she was being aggressive, but because a week had already passed, and if nothing unexpected happened, Su's research group should have used up most of the previous resources.

She called Jiang Lang in advance to sign the papers, and he should arrive in a little while, so they could spend more time together today.

The waiting process is always full of anticipation.

Just then, the phone rang.

Her heart skipped a beat. Was the phone ringing at this hour because they weren't coming?

However, after looking at the caller's contact information, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Lin Fang.

"Hello! Uncle?"

"Manzhi, I'll send someone to pick you up later. Things are a bit unsettled lately, so stay on Shangjiang Island for a while and come back when it's safer."

"Why?"

Gu Manzhi immediately panicked: "Isn't the wedding date just around the corner? Jiang Lang and I are getting closer and closer, and now they're locking me up—"

Lin Fang's voice was low: "Recently, a mysterious force has been investigating Mr. Dou's connections. I don't know who it is, but anyone who can hide from me must be quite powerful."

Aside from his connection with the Hive, Mr. Dou's other actions are entirely innocent, and this force is very likely targeting the Hive.

If I can't eliminate them in time, it's only a matter of time before they find out about you.

You're too fragile right now; you can't afford the slightest accident.

Gu Manzhi bit her lip: "Then, what about the wedding flight?"

Lin Fang's voice was full of confidence: "Don't worry! Your uncle has made arrangements. You have half an hour; someone will come to pick you up then."

After speaking, I hung up.

Gu Manzhi: "————"

She sat down in her office chair, lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly called out, "Please come in!"

"Squeak!"

Jiang Lang pushed open the door and entered, smiling as he placed the tea bags on the table: "You said last time that you liked chocolate, so I asked my dad to get some for you from customs."

Gu Manzhi was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, brother!"

Jiang Lang smiled, took the drink she offered, and sat on the sofa to drink it slowly.

To be honest, I've had a really pleasant time with Gu Manzhi these past few days.

He had previously worried that she was too aggressive.

But later I gradually realized that she just had a mature and sophisticated face, but inside she was a little girl with a low sense of worth and who was easily satisfied.

Some even have people-pleasing personalities.

I don't know if I treat others this way, but I certainly treat myself this way.

When she shows resistance to something, her first reaction is to change it in order to satisfy herself.

This includes the distance between people.

So after a few days, he had lost his guard against Gu Manzhi and even felt a little sorry for her, wondering what kind of living environment had turned her into this.

However, these are things I can't help with.

Let's get the resources first.

Jiang Lang was about to open his mouth.

Gu Manzhi had already come over with the documents: "Brother, here are the things you wanted."

"Why?"

Jiang Lang was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to be so proactive.

However, he was even more surprised when he saw the numbers filled in on the document, and joked with a laugh, "How come there are so many? You've given me all the resources you can mobilize. Aren't you afraid I'll disappear tomorrow?"

Gu Manzhi's eyes dimmed, then she forced a smile: "I'm scared! So, before you disappear, I'll disappear first! Brother, am I a good boy?"

Jiang Lang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "What happened? If you can't solve it, you can tell me."

Gu Manzhi chuckled lightly, "It's nothing much, I just suddenly have to go on a long trip and don't know when I'll be back. If you feel indebted to me, brother, I'll invite you to dinner when I get back. You can't refuse!"

"Don't worry, it definitely won't."

Jiang Lang felt a pang of guilt. So many resources were out there, and many people would fight tooth and nail for them.

Even if Su Yunchang offered him a job as a male model in exchange for resources, he would still consider it without Gu Manzhi's help.

When it came to Gu Manzhi, he only needed to have a few meals with her to make up for his "debt," which made him feel guilty.

He knew his own limitations. Even if he dressed up properly, he could only be considered "handsome" among ordinary people, and he couldn't compare to those truly handsome men. He knew no one would want him as a male model.

It's not to the point where you can exchange a lot of resources for just a few meals together.

Taking resources from Gu Manzhi is simply taking advantage of their emotional bond to bully a young girl.

This is a bit tricky!

He also felt very conflicted.

He found Gu Manzhi difficult to deal with when she was being aggressive.

Even when she was being obedient, he still found her difficult to handle.

Humans are just that despicable!

Gu Manzhi looked at Jiang Lang's profile, bit her lip, and as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage: "Brother, before you leave, can you hug me?"
