How much is a newspaper worth?
The printing cost of a newspaper is less than ten cents, but when placed in a newsstand, it’s about one yuan.
Very cheap.
But this asurent is one-sided. Chen Shouyi believes that the value of a newspaper is not reflected in money, but in the value and significance of the news itself. So newspapers’ value cannot be asured by money.
And this newspaper is clearly like that.
Chen Shouyi took the newspaper from Chen Xingyue’s hand and glanced at the title:
"Humans usher in a new era."
"God of Martial Arts President Chen, slays the Barbarian God Lord of Lightning with powerful divine power in Yan State, the war is over!!!"
He said faintly, "Well, it’s not written inaccurately, but it’s rather exaggerated."
Looking up, he saw Chen Xingyue’s face full of admiration.
...
The news of Chen Shouyi’s return spread quickly, and by the afternoon, several military and political officials from Zhonghai City ford a group to visit.
He keenly felt that everyone’s attitude towards him had subtly changed.
Awe, fear, cautiousness.
Although this situation has existed since he slayed the god, it has never been as obvious as today.
If Chen Shouyi used to represent a country alone, now he represents the entire Earth. His powerful strength and influence have established his transcendent position in the Great Xia Country.
...
In the evening, Chen Shouyi hung up the president’s condolences call.
Suddenly a bit unaccustod.
"Alas, bla it on my excessive strength!" Chen Shouyi looked at the chimney billowing smoke in the distance, sighing for the umpteenth ti.
However, in this treacherous era, what other choice is there?
He was helpless too.
Without strength, one would die.
Next, he looked at the newspaper again, then opened the collection cabinet, carefully placing the newspaper among a thick stack of newspaper types.
Now he has developed the good habit of collecting newspapers.
...
In the early morning, the sky was still dimly lit.
He opened the window, took two still sleeping little ones, and quietly flew out the window.
Now the "Icefield" spatial passage has almost beco his private passage, and the soldiers on duty saw him coming, not checking his credentials at all, swiftly opened the passage door.
Breathing in the slightly cold fresh air of the Icefield, Chen Shouyi’s mood improved.
These years, massive heavy industrial construction, and the use of steam engines have worsened Zhonghai’s air quality. Even on a windy sunny day, the sky remains hazy, filled with thick fog and strange odors.
But it can’t compare to the absolute pristine pollution-free nature here in this world other than Earth.
Especially here, within hundreds of kiloters, everything is covered in snow, not even a single creature can be found.
After settling the two little ones, he swiftly flew to a mountain peak dozens of kiloters away.
This ti, he ca before dawn to experint a bit with the "insight" ability.
He took a deep breath, his face becoming serious, his heart began pounding violently.
He dared not be careless at all.
This ability instilled a sense of danger in him instinctively, he didn’t know what situation might occur, nor did he know what terrifying thing he would encounter, everything was unknown, the four-dinsional world is far too mysterious for three-dinsional beings.
Just thinking about it made him shiver.
He hesitated for a mont, but decided to accelerate his thinking first.
He didn’t know what he would see next?
But one thing is certain.
The information contained in four dinsions is infinitely greater than that of three dinsions.
And this infinite might just be limitless...
After quickly accelerating his thinking, thoughts beca lightning fast, ti seed to slow down, feeling his state at its peak, his mind gradually cald down.
Let’s begin!
"Insight!"
He slightly moved his thought.
The next mont.
"Boom!"
The entire world seed to suddenly shake before his eyes, then turned upside down, simultaneously his eyes turned silver white, exuding an eerie glow, as if his mind had breached another dinsion, colors, light and shade, quickly faded from before his eyes.
Replacing it was... the essence of the world.
Indescribable, impossible to depict all he saw before him, the real world had never revealed itself to him so truthfully, distant snowy mountains unfolded with all their details before his eyes.
He could see not only the surface.
But also see all the internal details simultaneously, there was no "front" or "back," no "inside" or "outside," this was his first ti seeing space’s existence so intuitively.
In his four-dinsional vision, space harbored no secrets anymore.
His sight beca boundless, tens of thousands of kiloters, hundreds of thousands of kiloters, he even saw this slightly "curled" yet "uneven" space.
His angle of view seed to overlook the world at a higher-level perspective.
Then, he looked at his own hand.
Skin, blood vessels, muscles, bones, like the previous mountain, all details also appeared before him, but even more complex.
The skin alone had countless layers, every layer had countless details, every detail contained endless information, and all this information presented itself simultaneously in parallel before him.
It felt like his entire hand had been analyzed, and this astronomical level of information was forcibly stuffed into his brain for digestion.
Only lasting barely a dozen milliseconds, roughly about zero point zero one seconds.
Chen Shouyi just felt a piercing pain in his brain, forced out of the "insight" state.
He held his head, stumbling as if his head had been hacked with an axe, his head aching terribly.
Moreover, the brain turned groggy, thoughts slowed like rusty gears, seemingly clogged by astronomical information nearly crashing his system.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!" Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but curse.
This feeling was unbearably painful, a thousand tis worse than ntal exhaustion.
A few minutes passed.
He gradually regained composure.
He found the mory of the four-dinsional experience had already blurred, he could only recall roughly, his mory had fuzzed, no matter how hard he tried to rember, he couldn’t recall the previous details.
"It seems my intelligence is too low." Chen Shouyi shook his head, thoughtfully.
To this mont, his brain still felt sowhat sluggish, not as clear as before.
Chen Shouyi’s intelligence was only 25.7.
Even burning faith value to accelerate thinking would only be 28.5, just the level of dium divine power.
Far inferior to the Lord of Lightning, but Chen Shouyi believed that even the Lord of Lightning, when activating "insight," couldn’t last long.
Three dinsions and four dinsions.
Seemingly only differing by a word.
Yet entirely different in essence.
In comparison, his transformation from a mortal to a god was rely a quantitative change, entirely distinct across dinsions.
"What is the origin of this Book of Knowledge, to evolve such a terrifying function?"
ps: I... am beyond words, and beyond face.
