Primary school students of all worlds

Wang Quan's mouth twitched as he said, "This is the center of the earth. There's no water, no oxygen, and the temperature ranges from several thousand to three hundred degrees Celsius. How could there be mushrooms in such a hellish place?"

"Yes, and there are many."

King Shenyan extended his hand and 3D printed a model of the Shenyan Empire's black mushroom for Wang Quan to see. "Before you came, we called it the 'thief' and wanted to wipe it out completely. Unfortunately, the fungus's reproductive capacity is too strong, and in the end, it was a thankless task. We then gave up the idea of ​​exterminating this mushroom."

"do not!"

Wang Quan rolled up his hands and said to King Shenyan in a serious tone, "Please launch another expedition. I, Wang Quan, am willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen at my utmost."

Illya pulled Wang Quan down awkwardly, while Miyu said in a strange tone, "Shenyan Wang, although I'm not as stubborn as classmate Wang Quan, I also feel that there are no conditions for mushrooms to grow here."

"I don't know what mushrooms are like on your Earth."

The Rock God King shook his head and said, "But the mushrooms here are so hard-hearted that even we wish we could explode and perish with them. This is because the stealers, like us Rock Clan, feed on radioactive minerals. The difference is that we eat the minerals, while the mushrooms produce a large amount of melanin on their body surface, reducing the damage caused by nuclear radiation, and then consume the nuclear radiation."

"Hiss... I did hear about an example from Chernobyl where mushrooms thrived by absorbing nuclear wastewater."

Wang Quan took a deep breath and said, "If these mushrooms dare to eat nuclear radiation today, they will dare to turn into Godzilla tomorrow! They really must be uprooted."

“We thought so too, but it never worked.”

The Rock God King sighed, "We can only watch helplessly as the mushrooms take away a large portion of our already limited resources. As you humans would say, the Rock Tribe is adding insult to injury, adding more wind, rain, and thunder. It's to combat the resource crisis brought on by the mushrooms that the Wall Breakers Alliance was formed to encourage people to leave."

"Um, yes, we were just talking about the Wall Breaker Alliance."

Wang Quan scratched his head: "Why are we suddenly talking about mushrooms?"

The four primary school students looked at their friend who had no self-awareness in embarrassment.

"So why are we issuing a wanted notice for the Wall Breaker Alliance?"

Wang Quan looked at King Shenyan in confusion. "Not long ago, I applauded Your Majesty for your openness in admitting your mistakes."

"Because the reason we want infinite space is for better survival, but... the Earth is a highly toxic planet for us."

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang retorted, "Didn't I say that before? Only 71% of the Earth has water. The rest of the area doesn't have much water."

“But there’s oxygen everywhere.”

Under Wang Quan's puzzled gaze, King Shenyan said with great regret, "Our scientists have studied everything you brought into this room, including what you kept inhaling. It's an element that has never been discovered before, and it quickly revealed its terrifying toxicity."

"You mean oxygen?"

Wang Quan blinked. "You look so strong, able to survive such a terrifying environment in the center of the Earth, but you're not only afraid of water, but also afraid of oxygen everywhere?"

"How could I not be afraid? After learning about the properties of oxygen, I was... frightened."

The Rock God King looked around the room. "At least the Death Matter is visible and tangible, but I can't see oxygen at all. Yet, it's constantly eroding my body, and I can't even feel the slightest bit of abnormality."

"Forehead……"

Wang Quan suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, you are not talking about oxidation reaction?"

"Is that what you humans call this kind of change?"

The Divine Rock King looked at the frail human breathing the poisonous gas before him and spoke slowly, "Our researchers have calculated that oxidation reactions can cause severe damage to our Rock Clan that cannot be repaired by current or future technology. Once our Rock Clan is exposed to oxygen, our infinite lifespan will be reduced to just fifty years."

"Well……"

Wang Quan blinked. While fifty years seemed long, to an immortal, it was just a blink of an eye. Was oxidation really that powerful? The trees, clearly responsible for creating oxygen, were merely small fry being crushed by the mushrooms.

"It's too exaggerated."

Illya exclaimed, "We humans have been living in the hell you've been talking about, and we've never been in such a state."

"Habit is a terrible thing."

The Divine Rock King looked at the five elementary school students in awe. "It's obvious that your DNA has been constantly damaged by oxidation and aged, which is why you only have a lifespan of a hundred years. If there were no oxygen—you should be immortal like us, the Rock Clan."

Elementary School Students and Underground Civilization: Chapter 119: The Supreme Flashlight

During the time he stayed in the inner earth civilization, Wang Quan was not just waiting for Mana's magic to be ready. He had also been observing the inner earth civilization of the Rock Clan and was extremely satisfied with this civilization. The Rock Clan's ultra-long standby 007 working hours without rest or sleep were certainly excellent, but what made him more eager were the two technologies of the Rock Clan.

One is the nuclear power technology comparable to that of humans, and the other is the cooking technology of the Rock Tribe.

The former goes without saying; energy is a super-heavy means of production, but the other is even more incredible! For the Rock Tribe, who feed on radioactive minerals, the radioactive wastewater and waste from nuclear power plants are merely a recreational drink and snack for them.

But for humans, nuclear wastewater and other hazardous materials are incredibly troublesome, and currently everyone can only find uninhabited areas to bury them. The Rock Tribe's ability to devour radioactive materials like a Godzilla-like snack is a brand-new technology that even he, a future reincarnation, doesn't know about! He desperately wants it.

So when the Machine Goddess Rock King declared that the Rock Tribe had no intention of heading to land, Wang Quan suddenly became anxious and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns, but we must look at this issue from a developmental perspective. Since oxygen will take away your immortality, shouldn't we just find a way to prevent it?"

"The way I look now is to prevent the oxygen around you from being damaged."

The Divine Rock King shook his head regretfully and said, "But this isn't a long-term skill. For example, can you humans eat and sleep in armor every day?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Quan thought for a moment and then said, "There's no way to repair or replace what's been damaged by oxygen."

"Student Wang Quan."

Miyu, standing by, shook her head at Wang Quan and said, "Once silicon comes into contact with oxygen, it will 'rapidly' oxidize into silicon dioxide and turn into a pile of sand. 'Rapidly', the lifespan of an Immortal will plummet to 50 years. This kind of atomic-level damage is impossible to treat with the Rock Tribe's technology."

Seeing that King Shenyan didn't seem to object, Wang Quan scratched his head and sighed with great regret: "Hmm... Although I'm a little unwilling, it seems that this is the case. Unless I can master Mana's space teleportation technology, there will be no possibility of human civilization and the inner earth civilization intersecting."

"Wait a moment."

Li Xiaolang suddenly interrupted, "Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, didn't King Shenyan say that resources will eventually run out? Isn't that why they strictly enforce the sterilization policy to prevent further depletion of resources?"

"correct."

Wang Quan also reacted and quickly said to the Divine Rock King, "The Rock Tribe are not like humans. They will not die of old age. Therefore, the only future that awaits you is starvation after exhausting all your resources. Only by going out like the Wall Breaker Alliance can the Rock Tribe avoid starvation and even live a carefree life - isn't that right?"

"..."

To Wang Quan's surprise, the robot girl's lips curled up, and she smiled happily, imitating the humans. "Yes, the Wallbreaker Alliance's 'going out to find resources' was the Rock Tribe's only hope, but that was only in the past. Now we have new hope."

Under the puzzled gazes of Wang Quan and others, the machine girl suddenly inserted her hand into her abdomen. After rummaging around for a while, she carefully took out a small iron box. Then, after the machine girl activated the highest authority and input the encryption key, the iron box slowly opened, and a strong golden light came out from the gap. As the iron box was completely opened, the dazzling golden light filled the room. Wang Quan covered his eyes and squinted to look through his fingers, and then he found that it was a box full of LED lights.

"Forehead……"

Wang Quan looked at the treasure in the glowing box with a strange expression. It made even the King of Divine Rock look very excited. "Isn't this my flashlight?"

Lihua corrected him, "To be precise, it's Fat Tiger's."

"What belongs to Fat Tiger is mine, no difference."

Wang Quan looked at King Shenyan in confusion. "Why does this ordinary flashlight make you so excited, Your Majesty? You even feel as if your regret about not being able to reach the surface of the Earth is fake."

"No, it's really a pity that I can't leave the Wall of God and am trapped here forever."

The Rock God King looked at Wang Quan with an incredulous look in his eyes and tone. "And you humans call this kind of 'prop' ordinary? It can 'shrink' any object, even the Rock Tribe. It's caused all of our scientists to lose sleep all night, and they don't expect to get a good night's sleep for the next few years."

"Shrinking?"

Wang Quan stared at the flashlight blankly: "Are you kidding me? Just this ordinary flashlight?"

"Nothing special?"

The corner of Shenyan Wang's mouth twitched. "Your ordinary flashlight turned a fifty-meter-tall research institute into a miniature model only three centimeters high."

"what?"

Wang Quan looked at Shen Yan Wang in bewilderment. He had used this flashlight before, and aside from its brightness, it was just an ordinary flashlight. How could it shrink a fifty-meter-tall object to three centimeters? What kind of outrageous ability was this?

"Master, have you forgotten?"

Mana said to Wang Quan, "Fat Tiger did tell you that the light from this 'shrinking lamp' has the ability to shrink objects, and you treated his words as a joke and didn't take them seriously, nor did you ever mention it to anyone else."

"Forehead……"

Wang Quan looked at Shen Yan Wang in horror. Since he had never mentioned it to anyone, why did Shen Yan Wang say that this flashlight had the ability to shrink objects?

"Because she saw with her own eyes that the Shrink Lamp really has the unreasonable ability to shrink objects."

Mana looked at the Shrinking Lamp, which the Rock God held as a treasure, with a sympathetic look of sympathy. "It's a shame it encountered an elementary school student who could negate all unreasonable abilities."

"Mana, are you trying to say that this flashlight is another victim of the Tyrant's force field?"

Wang Quan stared at the flashlight with a twitching mouth, his heart filled with a sense of absurdity. "Let's not even talk about how this ability works. Why would such an outrageous thing appear in the hands of Fat Tiger, a fifth-grader?! And he knew the power of the Shrink Lamp, but for the sake of his mother's business, he easily traded this flashlight to me?"

He stared blankly at his hands and said, "If this is true, then all the money I've earned since I was six years old wouldn't be as much as I made from that one random trade with Fat Tiger! Does that make sense?"

"Master, knowing the 'specific value' of an item is not something an elementary school student should possess."

Mana said thoughtfully, "In the eyes of the Rock Tribe, the Shrinking Lamp is the hope of civilization, but to Fat Tiger, it's just a small prop that can be sold to ease the burden on his parents."

Elementary School Students and Underground Civilization: Chapter 120: Adult Topics

Although he had a reasonable explanation for why Fat Tiger was so wasteful, Wang Quan still couldn't understand why Fat Tiger, a primary school student, had such an outrageous prop in his hand. However, he couldn't ask Fat Tiger for the time being, so he could only suppress the absurd feeling in his chest and stared at the shrinking lamp in the hand of the God of Rocks.

"mum!"

Lihua clenched her fists and excitedly looked at the shrinking light in Shenyan Wang's hand and said, "Student Wang Quan, I know you must be eager to know if this flashlight is really that magical. No problem! I, the current head of the Furutsu Shrine, am willing to be your guinea pig, so please shine that flashlight on me!"

"..."

Wang Quan squinted at Lihua and said, "I bet you $100 billion. You're holding candy, right?"

"mum……"

Lihua spread out her hands a little depressed, and a piece of candy appeared in her hand.

Wang Quan looked at Lihua with a twitch in his mouth. "Are you an elementary school student? Why is it that when this imaginary prop appeared before your eyes, the first thing you thought of was to fill yourself with endless candy?"

Illya, standing by, stuffed the cake back guiltily. But Lihua confidently said to Wang Quan, "You're looking down on me, Wang Quan! Do you think I, a senior who's been reincarnated hundreds of times, am so superficial?"

Wang Quan squinted at Lihua and said, "What else? Let me hear what you, the head of the Furutetsu Shrine, are planning to do with this shrinking lamp."

"Hehe, don't copy my great idea after listening to this."

Lihua crossed her arms and said proudly, "I'm going to use Oreo cookies to build the four walls, the fluffiest bread for the roof, covered with chocolate sauce, shiny fruit candies for the windows, marshmallows for the sofa, and gummy bears for the bed. Now I have enough building materials in my backpack. I just need to shine the miniature light and I can sleep soundly all day in the most amazing house of my dreams!"

Wang Quan said with a dark face, "Don't think I don't know that you plagiarized the candy house from Grimm's fairy tale."

"Candy's House..."

Upon hearing this, Illya was immediately fascinated, but she soon noticed that only she and Rika were imagining the beautiful candy house, while Li Syaoran and Miyu had no expression at all.

"Miyu, don't you want to own a dreamy fairytale house like that?"

Illya asked confused.

"Illya, this is impossible, at least not now..."

Miyu shook her head, and Li Syaoran shrugged and pointed at Wang Quan: "Unless one of us can withstand the ravages of the Tyrant's force field and force the mushroom into Wang Quan's mouth, otherwise the amazing shrinking lamp can only be used for lighting."

Wang Quan looked at the four people in front of him awkwardly: "Guys, I am happy to make sacrifices for my friends, but if possible, I don't want my sacrifice to be just so that you can have a full meal. That would make my sacrifice seem worthless! Don't always think about using the shrinking lamp to feed yourself. At least be like the Rock Tribe!"

Wang Quan looked expectantly at the Godly Rock King. "Your Majesty, tell my friends how you plan to use the Shrinking Lamp to save the Rock Clan civilization and give these elementary school students a little adult shock!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After another awkward silence, King Shenyan said weakly to Wang Quan, "Our idea is to make ourselves smaller so that we can have endless food."

"Yes!"

Amidst Lihua's cheers, Wang Quan looked at Shenyan Wang with embarrassment: "You got such a powerful item, but you only care about filling your stomach? You guys are really starving."

"No, that's not the case."

King Shenyan held the Shrinking Lamp and whispered to Wang Quan, "After learning about the capabilities of this Shrinking Lamp, I saw another path for the development of civilization."

"Ok?"

"Who says civilization can only survive by 'going out'?"

The Divine Rock King said with a burning look in his eyes, "Wouldn't it be possible to miniaturize the entire civilization? If it's halved, the resources will double. If it's tripled, the resources will triple. If it's 100 times smaller, the existing resources will increase 100 times! Isn't this more reliable than taking risks to search for resources that are uncertain? There's no need to go out at all. The Rock Clan will have almost unlimited resources forever!"

"I've only heard of civilizations that grow larger as they develop, but I've never heard of civilizations that grow smaller as they develop."

Wang Quan looked at the Shrinking Lamp suspiciously. "And from what I hear, Queen, you're saying you're planning to crack the Shrinking Lamp's technology and miniaturize the entire Rock Tribe? Is that even possible?"

"In theory, yes, but only in theory."

King Shenyan stroked the Shrinking Lamp and said, "Its technological content is incredibly advanced, so advanced that we can't even fully explain how it works. Some researchers speculate that it achieves miniaturization by reducing the gaps between atoms, but shrinking an object's atoms directly changes its properties."

Lihua looked at Wang Quan blankly. Wang Quan explained, "It's like a glass of water. If the gaps between the atoms that make up the water shrink, the water will turn into ice."

"Yes."
