Chapter 138: Break Magic Cube

"Now, start the first stand-in ability test. Focus, focus, focus, focus... and then...uh, what happened?"

Gai Qi bit the pencil and sat opposite Su Jing. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes.

"I can feel it... This thing doesn't seem to be the usual... the human-shaped substitute in the comics, it seems to be a... a square-shaped space?" Su Jing stretched out his right hand and held a void object in the air with his hand. "I always feel that it seems to be able to sense what's inside... or even go..."

He frowned and chose a word:

"Control. I mean, I seem to be able to control and change what's in it. It's like... that's it."

A loud noise suddenly occurred on Su Jing's right palm, like something suddenly swells, or a small miniature explosion.

"...Well...what did you do? It was like some kind of vibration of the air just now..." Gai Qi stared at his hand a little nervously.

"I pushed out all the air inside the block, created a vacuum environment, and then canceled it, and the air flowed back - bang!" Su Jing shrugged, "If my substitute ability is to control the air, I think this ability is very powerful. But... the control range of this thing seems to be only such a small cubic cube with a side length of about ten centimeters... It's so unfortunate. It's a useless rib."

"Um... Do you still remember... you fainted in the cold drink shop, and then I went into the bathroom and carried you out?" Gai Qi tried to touch her hand. There was nothing on Su Jing's right hand. "I seem to remember that the mirror in front of you seemed to be twisted. I'm sure it was not the relationship between air refraction, but the mirror itself was changed..."

"What you mean is that inside this invisible cube space, it can change not just air... any substance?!" Su Jing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then reached out and took out a metal caliper and held it in the palm of his right hand.

After he focused his energy, the steel caliper in his palm began to gradually twist. It seemed to soften into a piece of plasticine, constantly deforming in Su Jing's hand. Gaiqi reached into his robotic hand and tried to touch it.

The strength and stiffness of the caliper, or the mass of metal itself, have not changed. The only thing that has changed... is its shape.

"Interesting." Su Jing whispered. In the center of the invisible cube, Gaiqi's robotic hand suddenly trembled unstablely. Amid the buzzing sound, her plastic fingers began to deform one by one, breaking away from their original parts and floating in the air. After the plastic shell faded, the steel guide lever and ceramic bone structure inside also began to decompose one by one, floating in this cube with a side length of ten centimeters.

"It's very expensive, this robot." Gai Qi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"It's okay..." Su Jing remembered the structure of the robot one by one, then combined them again to reclaim the cube field.

"Well... it seems to be a little more flexible." Gaiqi moved her wrist, "It's smooth, what have you done?"

"I corrected some of the errors in the original manufacturing, some extremely subtle manufacturing deviations, as well as minor size problems and polishing - my goodness, I remember that I even adjusted the internal forging and deposition, making their materials more even and stable - able to adjust this microstructure, and the precision of this ability is so high..."

Su Jing raised his eyebrows and continued:

"But this ability seems to have great defects. For example, its precision is still insufficient. I can only control these relatively macroscopic material phenomena, and it will be difficult to continue. If I cannot reach the level of atoms, it will be difficult for me to achieve atomic recombination, material transformation, or even manual nuclear fusion..."

"You can take a break. It's still early. If you want to dream, you'd better wait until evening." Gaiqi rolled her eyes, "It's already amazing to have such ability. Think about it, the material structure control in a limited space allows you to live after you get close to it."

"That's right..." Su Jing tried to transform his hands and transform a few tentacles out to scare people, but he didn't respond. His face changed slightly, and after trying a few more times, he still didn't respond. After spending more than ten minutes to continue the experiment, he finally confirmed a fact:

"Oh, unfortunately. It seems...it doesn't seem to work for life...."

After passing a total of one and a half hours of ability test, Su Jing wrote all the data shown in his new abilities on a piece of paper:

[Standby name: Unnamed]

【Scope of action: a 12.5cmX12.5cmX12.5cm cube. Its layout location seems to be unlimited, but the range that can be accurately controlled is approximately within a radius of fifteen meters within the center of the body.】

[Function: Change the structure of non-living matter (macroscopic) within the cube range. Guessment: Why can non-living matter be changed, but living bodies composed of matter cannot be changed? Is it because of the influence of life energy? I mean, the energy field of life itself will interfere with the operation of substitute abilities? I don’t know whether this conclusion is correct before collecting more data. But if this idea is correct, then it is very likely that objects with strong energy will have resistance to this ability... I hope this is not true.]

[Consumption: The energy source seems to be my physical energy and mental power. The more things you change, the more tired you are. At the same time, I noticed that some heat in my body disappeared out of thin air... The design of changing the supply of energy in the body to electricity supply should be put on the agenda. It is time to enter the alternative topic to find new energy sources. The consumption of nuclear fusion batteries seems to be faster than I imagined.]

[Note: I can use it to make various mechanical devices... This is the most suitable function I can think of. By the way, can it be used in combat? For example, disconnecting the opponent's armor and making my weapon sharper? By controlling external substances, causing damage or obstruction to the opponent? I can give it a try.]

[Note 2: Wait, if objects with energy will have a certain resistance to this ability, then the energy contained in these ordinary matters that can be changed... either these trace forces will cause some slight errors in the effect of the ability, or the effect of this ability will not be disturbed by it after crossing a certain threshold-]

Su Jing folded the paper, stuffed it into his pocket, then pulled out another piece of manuscript paper, and wrote a line of large words on it with a pen:

[The biggest question now is only one: how to give this ability a fashionable name?]

"The tarot cards have been used... the rock band has almost used up..." As if he was trapped in an extremely difficult problem, Su Jing started gnawing on the pencil in annoyance, and soon gnawed all the wood outside the pencil, leaving only the fine lead core inside.

"Rude Cube...Rude Cube...Rude Cube Building...Rude Cube Factory...Cosmic Cube...Cosmic Princess...No, no, no. Either too plagiarized or not fashionable...Rude Cube Shining... Why do I have to worry about the word "Rude Cube"!!"

But this ability exists simply for the word "Rude's Cube"!! Su Jing inserted the lead core into his temple in pain - and then was broken by his tough skin.

"Broken Rubik's Cube!! Wait, and the Broken Rubik's Cube!!"

"Broken Cube. English is Broken Cube Broken_Cube, it's pretty good..." Gaiqi lay on her single bed and played online games on her tablet.

"No..." Su Jing was circling in the room anxiously, "You are still thinking in English. Although the official translation of the character card, the language we think about is still different. One in Chinese, the other in English... The word "break" has been used too much in recent years. What is "breaking void, broken hall, and various X-breaking voids... The fashionable value of this word has been exhausted under excessive use... and broken! The fashionable value of this word itself is not as high as broken, and it is precisely for this reason that it will not bring people a sense of disgust caused by... being too familiar. Strange means..."

"Senior?" Gai Qi added.

"...uh, almost...it's the feeling that it can give people a...'Although I don't know what's going on, it still sounds amazing'. So I think the name of the Broken Cube is more stylish and has a higher stature than the Broken Cube - it's decided that it's the Broken Cube! Anyway, the English name is Broken_Cube..."

Halfway through speaking, Su Jing noticed that there was one missing person in the room.

“………Where is Sadako?”

Gaiqi rolled her eyes silently with her back to him, and replied:

"She went shopping in Central Park. Aren't there many adventurers selling things there? She wants to go shopping for something."

"Uh...she has money...I mean it's more universal?"

"After the plot character is converted into adventurers, there will be an initial fund, which is about a universal point of 1,000 points." Gai Qi recalled a little.
