Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 432 - 240: New Faces in Paradise, Old People of Jiushan
Chapter 432: Chapter 240: New Faces in Paradise, Old People of Jiushan
The style of the forum is a bit off...
At first, everyone didn’t quite grasp the trick of anonymity, and it was heard that Zhou Qianyuan got exposed offline—he probably was holding back too much, and spoke without thinking much.
But those who could obtain the Comprehensive Records were considered elites of the Jiushan Sect, so there were fewer fools.
Soon, most people wore their aliases flawlessly.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Zhang leaned in a small pavilion in her own courtyard, looking leisurely, her fingers tapping on her Comprehensive Records, looking like an internet-addicted girl.
"Answering questions."
Zhang didn’t even lift her head, continuing to immerse herself in the forum.
Zheng Fa actually felt a bit disappointed.
Seeing her like this, Zheng Fa grew curious, his Divine Sense immersed into the Creation Jade Disc, and immediately discovered what the foolish Zhang was doing—
Although she was wearing an alias, her performance was too obvious.
In the forum, aside from some messy gossip posts, there were also quite a few people asking questions.
Among them, the most common pleas for help were about mathematics:
Mathematics now counts as one of the foundations of the Immortal Law of the Jiushan Sect, and all disciples knew how important this subject was, but on the other hand, too many disciples were frustrated to the point of breaking their spiritual path.
In all the question-and-answer posts on the Jiushan Forum, those about mathematical difficulties were the most numerous.
To encourage disciples to solve problems for each other, Zheng Fa set up a rewards system, or rather a grading function—meaning that the disciple who posted the question had to pay good deeds for an answer they were satisfied with, not too much, as the essence was more honorary than practical.
But these last few days, under such posts, there emerged a good deeds devourer, seemingly seeing an opportunity to make a fortune through such posts:
An anonymous user, single-handedly, solved over ninety percent of the mathematical problems on the forum.
Even tirelessly day and night, taking pleasure in it.
The only thing keeping this person from wealth was that upon receiving good deeds, they would actually select a few posts and return the good deeds tenfold or a hundredfold...
The questions picked from these posts were often difficult or relatively fresh.
This anonymous user seemed to be picking and choosing these math problems, then devouring them all at once... and if a question satisfied them, they would even tip an extra bit.
Who this person was, Zheng Fa didn’t even need to think...
Zheng Fa looked at Zhang with a look that carried a bit of nostalgia:
...She still loved solving problems so much.
He felt a bit guilty in his heart; he had been at the Jiushan Sect for several years, and when he first came he would regularly supply tough problems, but later he became busier and gradually neglected it...
No.
Suddenly, Zheng Fa remembered, it wasn’t that he was negligent, it was a long time ago when Zhang suddenly said she didn’t like it anymore.
Looking at it now, she didn’t dislike it.
Originally immersed in solving problems, Zhang seemed to sense Zheng Fa’s gaze and looked up at him.
Seeing Zheng Fa’s complex expression, Zhang seemed to understand instantly what he was thinking, tilting her head as if considering how to respond.
"You’ve been very busy."
"..."
Zheng Fa knew she was explaining why she lied about not liking it.
He understood, too; their statuses had been constantly changing, it was natural they couldn’t always maintain the previous mode.
"I really don’t like it as much anymore..."
Zhang pointed again at the Comprehensive Records, probably referring to the math problems inside.
Seeing his doubtful look, Zhang added:
"This is just a pastime when I’m bored..."
She paused, then said:
"Since you came, I haven’t been so bored."
Zheng Fa, looking at Zhang’s serious face, suddenly felt that, even though his Creation Jade Disc was still a far cry from the legendary treasures... at this moment, it seemed very worthwhile.
...
"I also don’t know if this simplification is worth it."
On Paradise Island, Lady Xuanhua said this to Zheng Fa.
While saying this, she was looking at a round and shiny Golden Core above her head, her face full of uncertainty.
This Golden Core floated in the air, tens of meters above the ground, shiny gold, like a small sun, illuminating the misty night of Paradise Island.
Zheng Fa was also looking at this simplified Shenxiao Golden Core, or rather... the first nuclear reactor of the Jiushan Realm.
The reactions in the Golden Core were divided into fusion, fission, and hybridization.
The final hybridization step, as Zheng Fa saw, was about integrating the generated particles with the Five Element Spiritual Energy.
The simplified Golden Core was just a nuclear reactor with only fusion and fission, purely used as a source of energy.
"Lady Xuanhua, thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Fa’s gratitude was sincere—whether it was the Creation Jade Disc or the simplified Golden Core, Lady Xuanhua had contributed greatly.
"This isn’t difficult," Lady Xuanhua waved her hand, seeming not to care about the appearance of the simplified Golden Core, she brought up the topic of whether it was worth it again, "Only... this thing has indeed used quite a lot of resources, all for the mortals of Paradise Island?"
This doubt wasn’t just on Lady Xuanhua’s mind, but also on those disciples who made the simplified Golden Cores, and indeed every disciple of the Jiushan Sect.
Zheng Fa gestured for her to look at the distance.
The location of the simplified Golden Core was right in the center of Paradise Island.
From Lady Xuanhua’s angle, Paradise Island seemed to have turned into a firework—from the very center to the edge of the island, street lamps lit up one circle after another, illuminating the villages on the island.
Being a Nascent Soul real person, Lady Xuanhua could even hear the exclamations and cheers coming from those villages.
She pursed her lips, seemingly understanding Zheng Fa’s intent, but her face still showed indifference.
Zheng Fa understood; Lady Xuanhua and him had different personalities, how mortals fared was almost never within her consideration.
He also didn’t force everyone to think the same way as him.
