The air froze again.
The room was filled with an awkward and strange atmosphere.
Daniel Zhang's eyes were like he was looking at a mental patient. He continued to wave the paper cutter in his hand and slowly moved towards the door.
"This is real. You have written so many strange and inconceivable plots in your novel. I thought your mind would be very open. Why can't you accept a little BUG in real life?"
Li Yao clenched his fist. He was so sincere that he was about to cry. "Give me one minute. I only need one minute. I can prove it!"
Daniel Zhang looked at Li Yao's knuckles cracking. He didn't dare to move. He cautiously said, "How do you prove it? Why don't you use your superpower to create a fireball?"
"The difficulty of creating a fireball is too high. I haven't awakened to this level yet."
Li Yao looked around and picked up a hardcover encyclopedic dictionary that had never been opened before. It was emitting the smell of ink. "My current strength has already exceeded the limits of the human body. The day before yesterday, I forcefully tore open a metal wrapped rubber dumbbell. Although you don't have dumbbell sheets here, this encyclopedic dictionary has over a thousand pages. The material used is very solid. It is at least half a palm thick. If I can forcefully tear it open from the middle, it should be able to prove that I am not lying right?"
Daniel Zhang blinked his eyes and stared at the encyclopedic dictionary for a long time. He hesitated and said, "You mean to tear it in the opposite direction of the spine and not along the spine?"
"Of course!"
Li Yao held the encyclopedic dictionary in his palm. His ten fingers were like ten red-hot iron chopsticks. It was as if they were deeply embedded into the dictionary. "If there are no problems, I will start now?"
"You, you can start."
Daniel Zhang was helpless. He reluctantly agreed. However, his eyes were not on Li Yao. Instead, he was looking at the door and the window.
"Ahhhhh!"
Li Yao shrieked four times in a row. His ten fingers were clenched so hard that they turned white in the blink of an eye. The muscles all over his body bulged, and the explosive strength nearly burst his T-shirt open. Only after a full ten seconds did he finally stop.
He looked at Daniel Zhang.
Daniel Zhang looked at him.
The two of them looked at the encyclopedic dictionary in his hand. It was still intact. Even the cover of the book was not torn.
"This, I can explain."
Li Yao said a little awkwardly, "My superpower has just awakened and is still in a very unstable stage. I need to fulfill two conditions in order to maximize my potential. The first is to eat enough high-calorie food. Right now, my appetite is comparable to an entire basketball team. If I don't eat enough, I won't be able to exert myself. The second is to read your novel. Really, it's ridiculous to say it out loud. When I read your novel, every time I feel my blood boil, there's an inexplicable impulse surging in my body. I don't know how to describe this impulse, but in short, as I read, I suddenly feel full of energy!
"You don't believe me. Don't look at me like you are looking at a crazy person or a crazy person. I am telling the truth. I, I have proof. Just seven days ago, I was still an ordinary college student with a weak body. But now, in just one week, because of reading your novel, my muscles keep expanding. My bones have also expanded. My entire person has undergone a complete transformation. I have become a strong and muscular man.
"If you don't believe me, look at my strong muscles, bronze skin, and smooth body like a cheetah. Teacher Niu, look!"
"..."
Facing Li Yao, who kept making bodybuilding poses, Daniel Zhang took a deep breath and then screamed at the top of his voice, "Help! Save me! Help! "
"Don't shout!"
Li Yao suddenly panicked, and a feeling of "Why don't you believe me?" appeared in his mind. He pounced forward, wanting to cover Zhang Daniu's mouth. Unexpectedly, Zhang Daniu slipped past him and stumbled toward the door. Li Yao was anxious and scared at the same time. He slammed his fist on the wall and said, "I'm telling the truth!"
"Bang! Crash! "
He punched, and the sound was like thunder. His fist actually punched a hole in the wall!
"This …"
Li Yao stared at his fist in shock. He did not feel any pain at all.
"What!"
Daniel Zhang also turned his head and looked at the hole in the wall. He had an incredulous expression on his face.
Although Li Yao did not punch the load-bearing wall, but only the partition wall inside the room, the strength of this punch was enough to shock people for a long time.
Daniel Zhang swallowed hard. After hesitating for a long time, he moved over step by step. He looked at Li Yao's fist and then looked at the hole in the wall. He muttered, "The quality of the building nowadays is really a problem. He punched a hole in the wall?"
"I told you, this is the Monster Strength that I just awakened after reading your novel in the past week."
Li Yao said helplessly, "If you still don't want to believe it, then go and look at your laptop. See how many words you wrote last night. Under normal circumstances, how many words do you think an author can write in a night? Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or at most thirty thousand. But what about you? "
Daniel Zhang tilted his head and thought for a while. He then ran over to his laptop and looked at the latest paragraph for a long time. He also used statistical software to calculate the number of words he had entered last night. Then, he let out an unintelligible mumble deep in his throat. He sat down on the pile of books and held the laptop in a daze.
"You also noticed that something is wrong, right? Maybe you have written in a daze in the past, but it can't be as exaggerated as writing thirty to fifty thousand words in a night, right? "
Li Yao said very sincerely, "You know very well that you were really drunk last night. You couldn't even walk properly. On the way back, you vomited three times. How could you have sobered up in just one or two hours and written so many new chapters? Even if it's just a running account, it's a running account with rules and regulations. Is it possible for someone who is almost drunk? "
Daniel Zhang looked at his red and swollen fingers, narrowed his eyes, and recalled everything that happened last night. After a minute, he gave up. He shook his head hard and sighed in confusion.
"If you have to say that this is your unique writing method, and that you can only think like a fountain in your dreams, then I have nothing to say."
Li Yao said, "Otherwise, can't we calm down and have a good talk with a rational attitude?"
"… Okay."
Daniel Zhang held the laptop and stared at the hole that Li Yao had smashed. He said, "What do you want to talk about? I really don't know anything, except that I wrote a damn novel!"
"It's hard for me to explain everything. The truth is still hidden in the depths of the fog. So, we might as well tell you what we know and speculate. Maybe we can piece together the whole picture of the matter. At least we are one step closer to the answer."
Before Daniel Zhang could refuse, Li Yao told him everything.
He talked about the strange dream that had been haunting him — the Tyrannosaurus Rex with lipstick and so on. He talked about the accident at the Pegasus Lake International Animation Festival and the accident that happened to the creator of the famous fantasy world. Then, he talked about how he watched "40,000 Years of Cultivation" under the recommendation of his classmate. The strange dream became more vivid and real, and he had all kinds of changes.
Then, he talked about the shooting at the T3 Game Fair, the "Apocalypse Organization," what happened last night, a series of answers and speculations by the netizen "Dream Traveler" on the Q&A website, and the latest news about the super-strong earthquake in the Western Pacific Ocean. Li Yao just learned that a 9.2 on the Richter scale was already a terrible natural disaster. It was the second strongest earthquake recorded by humans in history. If the epicenter was closer to land, it was completely possible to destroy an entire city.
If such an earthquake was only the precursor of a larger earthquake, God knew what kind of terrible destruction the Western Pacific Ocean would suffer when the real earthquake came.
Daniel Zhang seemed to be listening very carefully. He read the webpage that Li Yao opened and the answers of "Dream Traveler" one by one. It took him half an hour to understand the cause and effect. Then, he crossed his hands and pondered for five minutes before he said, "And then? What's your conclusion?"
"I don't have a conclusion, but I have a guess. It's a very crazy and absurd feeling. In the past few days, the feeling has been haunting my head, but it's like a mess that I can't sort out at all. It wasn't until I read the answers of" Dream Traveler "and the epiphany just now that I grasped the most critical clue."
Li Yao stared at Daniel Zhang and said word by word, "I feel that I am Li Yao. Not only am I the current 'Li Yao of Earth', but I am also the 'Li Yao of Cultivation' that you wrote about. I have transmigrated from the magnificent and mysterious universe of '40,000 Years of Cultivation' to Earth!"
Daniel Zhang: "…"
Li Yao: "…"
Daniel Zhang: "…"
Li Yao: "Mr. Niu, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you have any opinions or suggestions about my guess, feel free to raise them. My ideas are still very green, very immature, and very immature. I am very eager to receive your guidance."
"I wouldn't dare to give you any guidance, but if you really want me to say it, then I will say it."
Daniel Zhang deliberated for a long time before he said earnestly, "Well, Li Yao, it's a good thing that you have a rich imagination and like to read. Yes, it's a good thing. You can read novels when you have nothing to do. It's a legitimate form of entertainment. There's no problem at all!
"However, even if we read novels, we have to be clear in our hearts that novels are fake. They are stories made up by the authors. I make up stories to support my family, and you can read novels and have fun. Isn't that a good thing?
"Haha, we're done having fun. We still have to study hard and work hard. Really, although there are stories about Yan Ruyu and the House of Gold in the book, this book is not that book. Do you understand what I mean?
