Fractal Geometry
Xia Fei and Zanian were both very interested to hear that the Law Enforcement Board would have an internal transaction every month. Lang Shunye was currently in his office chatting, so they hit it off, and the three of them decided to join in the fun.
Past the mysterious nine-story tower was a bamboo garden, and the so-called internal transaction was taking place in a corner of it.
There were guards at the venue, and upon seeing Zanian and Lang Shunye, the two scions, walk over, they merely exchanged a few words and did not ask any more questions. Though they did not belong to the Law Enforcement Board, Zanian was still a member of Dragon Ascension's Feng family. Dragon Ascension was a very strong brand, and it worked no matter where he went. Besides, there was also Lang Shunye by his side. As for Xia Fei, he was allowed in as a lackey.
There were over a hundred stone tables in the forest, and each table had an item on it with a slip of paper beside it. Anyone who could fulfill the requirements of the owner could take it. There were also a few old men gathered together to chat. Anyone who wanted to trade with them would first need to negotiate a price.
The small bamboo forest was sparsely populated with one to two hundred people. Even the people selling and buying things added together could not fill up the entire forest, making it seem rather deserted.
The aristocratic families often interacted with each other, and Zanian and Lang Shunye were called over the moment they entered the forest. Xia Fei did not know anyone, so he casually strolled around.
"A grade 6 Origin Crystal!" Phantom exclaimed.
There was a blue Origin Crystal on one of the stone tables, and it was a grade 6 item!
According to the exchange rate, a grade 6 Origin Crystal could be exchanged for ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals. Xia Fei's entire fortune was only enough to buy a tenth of this blue Origin Crystal!
Even more precious was the fact that, according to the Law Realm's ranking system, grade 6 and above Origin Crystals were the common currency of the God Race. Xia Fei's small family could only use grade 4 Origin Crystals at most, while the White Horse Constellation could use grade 5 Origin Crystals. Grade 6 Origin Crystals would never appear on the market.
After all, purifying a grade 6 Origin Crystal required a level 6 Energy Master, and Xia Fei very much doubted that he could find such a person in the White Horse Constellation!
An Origin Crystal specifically used by the God Race was openly displayed on the Law Enforcement Board's exchange table, which showed that Lang Shunye was not lying. There were not many items in this small exchange, but every single one of them was of the highest quality! The shock it brought Xia Fei was like an unending tidal wave.
Thinking about it carefully, since the God Race was made up of the top War Gods in the circle, these large families should have high-ranking members who had entered the two most mystical races in the universe. Therefore, it was normal for these elders and seniors to be able to get their hands on things from the God Race. After all, they had relatives in the God Race.
The note next to it explained that in order to exchange for this Grade 6 Origin Crystal, one would need a Mind Law combat technique called the Gate of Fame. It was probably a Mind Storm type of technique that used powerful Mind Laws to cause a large area of brain function to be paralyzed.
Xia Fei shrugged. Let alone possessing such a combat technique, Xia Fei had never even heard of it, so there was no way he could exchange for it.
It was rare to see so many precious items at once, so Xia Fei stayed for a long time at each spot. Of course, it was impossible for him to exchange for them, but it was also good to have a look. At the very least, he could gain some experience.
Zanian, on the other hand, was rather helpless. Long Teng's Feng family was well-known, and he rarely interfered with the Law Enforcement Board. As such, he was surrounded by many uncles the moment he arrived, asking about him.
Was this not the Dragon Ascension Conclave that was held once every ten years? Which family did not have a few descendants participating? These people hoped to use this opportunity to ask about the situation of the second round of assessment so that the descendants of their family could be prepared.
Zanian was the youngest in terms of seniority, and those seated here were all seniors, many of whom had studied in the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall in their early years, so they had some ties with the Feng family. Zanian could not refuse, so he could only watch as Xia Fei feasted on his eyes while he chatted with the old men. He was already somewhat regretting coming to the Law Enforcement Board with Xia Fei.
His original plan was to do Xia Fei a big favor. Not only did he come out of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall with him, he even wanted to take him to the Law Enforcement Board's inner trading circle, which was unattainable to the average person. This would solidify the relationship between Xia Fei and Dragon Ascension. Once Xia Fei obtained Edgeless, he believed that no one would dare to have any ideas about him.
Regardless of whether Xia Fei was a member of the Skywing Clan or not, Xia Fei had displayed combat strength far beyond his rank in this assessment, as well as an analytical mind that was hard for the average person to achieve. In addition, Xia Fei was Zanian's first Eagle Eye Selection candidate, so it was very normal for him to side with Xia Fei.
"Eh?" Xia Fei suddenly noticed a very strange picture. It was a fractal geometry diagram.
On the stone platform was an unremarkable metal box, and next to it was the fractal geometry diagram as well as the exchange requirements. The slip of paper stated that whoever could decipher this fractal geometry diagram would be able to obtain the item inside the box, though it did not explain what was inside.
Fractal geometry used mathematical methods to simulate the existence of the natural world, as well as the various irregular phenomena that appeared in scientific research. It was abstract in and of itself, and this fractal geometry diagram was extremely complex, to the point where a few glances at it would make one dizzy!
What was inside the box was not important to Xia Fei. What was important was that he had discovered the one and only item that did not need to be exchanged in this Law Enforcement Board transaction, and Xia Fei was fully capable of trying to decipher this complex and abstruse fractal geometry diagram with his own knowledge reserves!
This was like a free cake that deeply attracted Xia Fei. Xia Fei had always been a very curious person, and the more the owner did not mention what was inside the box, the more Xia Fei's imagination would run wild.
There were four chairs by the stone platform, making it convenient for the guests to sit and chat. There was no need to worry about losing anything in the Law Enforcement Board's territory, so unless one was suicidal, no one would dare to behave atrociously in the Law Enforcement Board's territory.
Xia Fei sat on the chair, staring unblinkingly at the extremely complex fractal geometry diagram in front of him, his brain working furiously.
The abstruse diagram was like a black hole, firmly drawing Xia Fei's attention, causing him to sink deep into it.
A few moments later, Zanian suddenly realized that Xia Fei was sitting there like a statue, not moving an inch. There were even several elders surrounding him, standing to the side and staring at Xia Fei in a daze.
Zanian was very curious, so he pulled Lang Shunye over.
"Fractal geometry?" Zanian exclaimed in surprise when he saw the abstruse diagram on the stone platform.
"Oh, that." Lang Shunye pursed his lips, seemingly having seen this diagram before.
"What's so special about this fractal geometry diagram?" Zanian asked softly.
"I'm not sure. I heard that it's been placed here for a long time, and you can see it during the monthly internal transactions. I've been in the Law Enforcement Board for half a year, and this is the sixth time I've seen it," Lang Shunye said.
"Has no one been able to decipher it?"
"Nope. Forget deciphering it, even those who don't have the mental fortitude to look at it for too long will faint. It's very strange. You'd best pull Xia Fei up. This diagram will pull in a person's mental strength, and I've personally seen someone vomit blood just from looking at it." Lang Shunye shrugged.
This was when one of the elders by the side looked at the time and said, "Zanian, your friend's mental fortitude is quite extraordinary. He's already been looking at it for a full twenty-seven minutes. Most youngsters will find it hard to last that long."
Zanian did not say anything, but his heart was in turmoil.
Xia Fei's eyes were stubborn, but there was no lack of intelligence in them. It was obvious that he was thinking as he observed, which meant that Xia Fei could understand this abstruse fractal geometry diagram!
It must be mentioned that Xia Fei had scored a zero in the geometry exam at the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall!
He had only glanced at the paper once before turning to leave, having no intention of answering the question at all. Meanwhile, the other examinees had more or less tried to solve the question, but of course, all of them had scored a zero.
Now, this fractal geometry diagram was so abstruse that it made people dizzy, yet Xia Fei could actually understand it! That was the most unimaginable part of it all! This meant that Xia Fei had a decent foundation in geometry, and there could only be one explanation for him turning to leave after taking a look at the paper: Xia Fei was certain that the question was unsolvable! That was why he did not try!
The more Zanian thought about it, the more shocked he became. Just what kind of standard was this to know that the question was unsolvable with just a glance?
Actually, there was another analysis that could explain the mystery of Xia Fei not answering the question, but Zanian refused to believe it no matter what!
The number of people around him gradually increased, yet Xia Fei was like an old monk in meditation, completely unaware of it.
"Isn't this Old Woods' strange diagram? Could this young man be trying to solve it? "
"That's impossible. This diagram has been on display at the trade fair for almost two years. At the start, there were people who were curious and tried to solve it, but now, no one is interested in it anymore. Could this young man think that there's a solution to it?"
"I'm not sure if there's a solution, but he's already been staring at it for over an hour without moving."
"He hasn't gotten dizzy after looking at it for so long? This young man sure has a lot of willpower! Which family is he from? "
"The Yu family. The one who just took first place in the Dragon Ascension Conclave's preliminary assessment, Xia Fei."
"Oh, I've heard of him."
The crowd was in heated discussion, and Zanian's eyes were uneasily scanning the surroundings, most likely afraid that the increasing number of people would draw out the Xia Zonghai that he was afraid of.
What made him even more shocked was Xia Fei. Zanian had been staring at the fractal geometry diagram for over ten minutes, yet Xia Fei had been staring at it for over an hour as if nothing had happened! His willpower was clearly above his own!
As more and more people gathered, some felt bored and left, but even more people were discussing it with great interest. Everyone lowered their voices as if afraid of disturbing Xia Fei.
At this point, there was no need to guess. Xia Fei was definitely not looking at it for so long out of curiosity; he was trying to solve the fractal geometry diagram!
Three hours passed, and the enthusiasm of the crowd gradually died down. Everyone had gathered here out of curiosity, and no one believed that Xia Fei could solve this diagram that was as profound as the universe. Countless experts had failed miserably, so it would be strange if the young Xia Fei could solve it.
"Stop looking. There's no hope for this young man. If he could solve it, he would have done it long ago. Why would he need to sit here for over three hours?"
"Let's wait a little longer. I heard that Old Woods is coming over to take a look, so it's good to talk to him."
"Is that so? The death of Woods's daughter was quite a blow to him, and I haven't seen him in a long time. Let's wait a little longer, then."
Just as everyone was beginning to get impatient, Xia Fei, who had been as quiet as a statue, suddenly made his move!
Xia Fei quickly turned on his terminal and lightly tapped on the screen with his finger, causing a series of complex waveforms to appear!
After some thought, Xia Fei deleted all the waveforms that he had arranged and rearranged them. His eyes were filled with passion and excitement as he began to solve the fractal geometry diagram!
