Breakthrough: Three-Dimensional Thinking

Huang Gang glanced at Chu Fei. "Superbrain Potion, huh? You want some?"

Chu Fei shook his head. "I only happened to hear about it. Flying Cloud Battle Team recruited Li Honggang and Lu Hong from our class ahead of time."

Huang Gang nodded slightly. "The effects of the Superbrain Potion peak on the seventh day. After fourteen days, they're less than half as effective, and after twenty-one days, they basically disappear.

Take it once every seven days, and the short-term effects are excellent. But after one or two months, resistance develops and the effects decline.

Also, this potion is too expensive."

Huang Gang's explanation made Chu Fei turn serious.

Flying Cloud Battle Team had invested so much. What they were after couldn't be insignificant!

Could he really withstand it?

A single potion cost ten thousand yuan. Back then, Zhao Xiaofeng had only offered him five thousand yuan to recruit him!

Just then, Huang Gang asked, "With such a huge investment, Flying Cloud Battle Team must be after something major!"

Chu Fei stopped concealing anything and laid everything out. After all, it would be Flying Cloud Battle Team that suffered the loss.

"Stealing from Cao Liwen's office?" The corner of Huang Gang's mouth curled slightly, a hint of excitement in his voice. "You didn't tell me at first because you wanted to play Mantis Stalks Cicada?"

Chu Fei gave an awkward laugh.

Huang Gang winked with his right eye, looking rather mischievous. "Fine, then let's form a team first and see what Flying Cloud Battle Team is trying to do."

This time, Chu Fei was the one left stunned. "Shouldn't we notify Teacher Cao?"

Huang Gang snorted. "Better not. He's a blockhead. Don't let him ruin things.

Looking at it now, Flying Cloud Battle Team may have had a hand in Li Honggang and Lu Hong becoming class monitor and vice monitor.

Flying Cloud Battle Team has put in a little too much. Whatever it is, it definitely isn't simple.

But right now, we don't know what it is, where it's hidden, how large it is, or what it's worth. So don't alert the enemy.

Besides, Dawn Team's duty is to protect the academy. I'm just the right man for this."

As he spoke, Huang Gang patted Chu Fei on the shoulder. "Not bad, not bad! Let's see what we uncover later. There'll definitely be something in it for you."

Chu Fei thanked him, then seemed to remember something. His hesitant expression was almost painful to watch.

Huang Gang shot him a sideways look. "If you have something to say, say it! You're a grown man, yet you're so bashful you put women to shame."

Chu Fei: ...

Isn't that a bit much?

Still, he said, "Captain Huang, those four old men are quite skilled with whips. Could I ask them for instruction? Do you know them?"

Huang Gang looked surprised. "You actually think they're good with whips?"

Chu Fei nodded. "I got whipped by them, but that's exactly why I understand it so deeply. It hurt badly, but it never damaged my foundation."

"Good eye. But you're not the first.

I can tell you the terms right now. Five thousand yuan a month. If you can't learn it, either give up or keep paying."

Chu Fei nodded slowly. "Five thousand yuan? Then I'll have to put some effort into Flying Cloud Battle Team's mission. Hopefully, it'll bring a decent return."

Afterward, he also took several books on colonization from Huang Gang.

Just as Chu Fei was about to leave through the main entrance, Huang Gang suddenly caught up with him. "Wait, take this!"

It was a pistol with a holster.

Chu Fei was overjoyed, but then troubled. "Am I supposed to carry a gun to class from now on?"

"Why not?" Huang Gang laughed heartily, looking quite pleased with himself. "You're half a member of Dawn Team now. I'm granting you the responsibility of protecting the academy, and I'll stand as your guarantor!

Of course, don't fear trouble, but don't go picking fights either. If something happens to you now, I'll be implicated."

Holding the heavy pistol in both hands, Chu Fei nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Captain Huang. I know how to use it!"

He hung the holster at his waist and left with light, cheerful steps.

This time, Chu Fei didn't take the side paths. He swaggered straight back to the plaza, then swaggered into the cafeteria, immediately drawing cries of surprise.

The holster at his waist was simply too eye-catching.

Li Honggang had originally wanted to kick up a fuss, but when he saw the holster at Chu Fei's waist, he suddenly became obedient and docile.

Chu Fei walked past Li Honggang with his head held high and chest out, muttering, "Ever since the nomads got guns and cannons, they became good at singing and dancing!"

So, fists made people kind.

He just wondered whether Li Honggang, Lu Hong, and even Zhao Xiaofeng behind them would be surprised—or delighted—to see that he had a gun.

After eating, Chu Fei returned to the dormitory, but the other students exploded.

Li Honggang and Lu Hong had merely become class monitor and vice monitor, while Chu Fei had gone straight to carrying a gun.

It was just...

So damn...

Enviable!!!

That evening, while Chu Fei was reading, Cao Liwen came knocking.

He looked at the pistol on Chu Fei's desk, his voice trembling slightly. "Last time, you killed Huang Dapeng with a dagger. Who are you planning to kill this time?"

Chu Fei: ...

How am I supposed to answer that?

After pondering for a while, Chu Fei could only say, "Captain Huang gave it to me and vouched for me. Don't worry, Teacher. I won't do anything reckless."

Cao Liwen contacted Huang Gang first and argued with him for a few moments. Then, after sternly warning Chu Fei, he stormed off without even closing the door.

Chu Fei got up to close it, casually glancing at the row of heads sticking out into the hallway and flashing them a "kind" smile.

The row of heads instantly pulled back, just like turtles retreating into their shells.

Chu Fei didn't care. He closed the door and continued reading, accumulating knowledge and Wisdom Dewdrops.

After lights-out, he began meditating.

He used another Wisdom Dewdrop, and his consciousness ascended.

Three hundred planar shapes formed in his mind. Under Chu Fei's calculations, they flexibly arranged themselves into neat, large-scale patterns without the slightest hesitation.

Half an hour later, Chu Fei paused slightly. "Meditating on three hundred shapes has already reached the point where I can control them as I please!

My planar thinking has surpassed the standard set by the teacher.

It's time to try the Three-Dimensional Thinking Mode!

First, introduce a three-dimensional coordinate system and construct the simplest solid geometry: a sphere!"

As soon as Chu Fei began trying, however, he found it somewhat difficult.

Ordinary people's thought patterns were flat, or rather, two-dimensional. The images they thought in were two-dimensional, and movement was two-dimensional as well.

But in the Three-Dimensional Thinking Mode, not only were the images three-dimensional, the movement was three-dimensional too.

The gap between these two modes of thought was the difference between two cubed and three cubed!

Going from two dimensions to three was a qualitative transformation.

Breaking the inertia of thought and surpassing oneself was not easy.

The meditation teacher had said that breaking through to the Three-Dimensional Thinking Mode within two months counted as passing.

But what Chu Fei wanted was not merely to "pass." He had to be outstanding!

He tried again and again.

By the time the first Wisdom Dewdrop was exhausted, Chu Fei had found the trick.

But as the dewdrop ran out, his thought pattern rapidly declined.

When he opened his eyes and checked the clock, it was already past midnight.

"Just a little more. Again!"

Spending money was fun for a moment; spending money nonstop was fun forever!

Thinking of how Li Honggang and Lu Hong were both spending money, and thinking of Flying Cloud Battle Team's scheme, Chu Fei felt immense pressure.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already two in the morning.

"Just a little bit more! Again!"

Before even half of the third Wisdom Dewdrop had been consumed, a stable thought pattern formed within his consciousness space.

He tried stopping the Wisdom Dewdrop, and the thought pattern remained stable instead of declining.

A "sphere" rolled and tumbled through his consciousness space, moving freely in every direction.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that his thought efficiency, dynamic perception, and more had improved significantly.

Chu Fei smiled and continued meditating.

Today, he had plenty of Wisdom Dewdrops. Staying up late to pursue Immortal Cultivation was the golden path.
