The Inequality is Solved in Seconds

March 1st, 2009, Sunday, sunny.

This small coastal city unexpectedly escaped this year's cold wave, with only a few light snowfalls, which had mostly melted by March.

Outside a two-story red brick house, the lush green ivy swayed in the wind, bringing a hint of "spring." The afternoon sun, like milk freshly heated in a microwave, streamed through the gaps in the ivy to the window, passing through the glass and onto the teenager, warm and cozy, causing him to yawn involuntarily.

"Tsk, are there really so few ways to pass the time at this hour?"

The teenager clicked his tongue in frustration, and the pirated comic book in front of him flipped a page as if by itself, as if an invisible hand were controlling it.

The teenager who uttered this seemingly chuunibyou-like statement is named Chu Ke, 18 years old this year, a genuine transmigrator.

In his previous life, Chu Ke, as a product designer worse than a pig or a dog, finally had the heavens open their eyes and luckily died suddenly after revising a draft for a client for the 20th time late at night, his sentence served.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in this world, and his body's age had also regressed to 18 years old.

Penniless, with clothes that added up to no more than 30 yuan, and without even underwear, Chu Ke stood on the streets of 2009, at a loss.

After some searching, Chu Ke pulled out a slip of paper with an address and a thumb-sized key from his jacket pocket.

Arriving at the location written on the paper, after inheriting a small stationery store, Chu Ke finally had a foothold in this world.

At the same time, he awakened his cheat.

Fundamental Forces

—that's what Chu Ke called it himself.

This is an extremely high-level special existence, initially manifesting similarly to telekinesis in superhero movies from his previous life, but with differences.

What is currently known is that

Fundamental Forces

will not disappear and can

Influence

and

Identify

matter.

This includes, but is not limited to, physically deforming and manipulating matter without consuming energy, and as Chu Ke uses it and time passes, the range and precision of

Fundamental Forces

are gradually increasing.

Furthermore, Chu Ke's consciousness is also carried within the

Fundamental Forces

, meaning that

Fundamental Forces

is Chu Ke's true body. Even if this physical body explodes the next second, Chu Ke will still survive.

Secondly, there is the

Nixie tube timer

in his mind.

Ever since Chu Ke awakened

Fundamental Forces

, a Nixie tube-style timer appeared in his mind: a wooden base inlaid with Nixie tubes the length of a middle finger, with a red round-handled lever extending from the side of the base.

The red number 1 lit up on the Nixie tube, and after Chu Ke's comparison, he concluded that it represented the magnitude of his

Fundamental Forces

.

And the lever on the side of the base can be pulled once a day, each pull doubling the magnitude of

Fundamental Forces

.

This is a terrifying way to increase.

On the first day, Chu Ke's

Fundamental Forces

could

Influence

1kg of matter, and the moving speed of

Fundamental Forces

after leaving his body was 1m/s. After just six days, Chu Ke could already control 64kg of matter, with a moving speed of 64m/s, and the precision had reached the molecular level.

According to this outrageous rate of increase, ignoring Chu Ke's increase in

Fundamental Forces

through exercise, it would only take 29 days, less than a month, for the moving speed of

Fundamental Forces

leaving his body to exceed the speed of light; after 177 days, the matter that

Fundamental Forces

could influence would exceed the total mass of the entire universe.

Question: When an existence knows the following two points [1. They cannot die. 2. As long as they live, they will be invincible.], what will they do?

Chu Ke cannot answer this question because he doesn't know what others think.

But when this situation happens to him, Chu Ke will answer you in two words: slack off.

There is a saying that goes: You bully me when the Imperial Army hasn't come, and you still bully me when the Imperial Army comes, then wouldn't the Imperial Army have come for nothing?

By the same logic, I need to work hard when I don't have a cheat, and I still need to work hard when I have a cheat, then wouldn't my cheat have been activated for nothing?

Chu Ke himself never had any grand ambitions. In his previous life as an orphan, his biggest dream was to earn enough money to live happily. He never expected that he would pass away before earning enough money.

In this life, Chu Ke, who is still able to feed himself and not worry about the rest of his family, can live even more freely. There won't be any cliché situations like "not having enough power to protect his family."

To be honest, Chu Ke was even thinking that if he had another chance to transmigrate, if he was still an orphan in the next life, maybe he could synthesize a two-star orphan?

Of course, this was just self-mockery.

Currently, Chu Ke's life is still very comfortable. This "Newbie Gift Pack" stationery store has two floors. The first floor is open to the public as a shop, and the second floor is the living area. It mainly sells stationery and some manga. Because the bookstore is located behind a middle school, it is the only stationery store within a few miles, so the income is very considerable.

Of course, most of the manga sold are pirated, but there are also a few genuine copies from Taiwan, all translated from the original Japanese versions. The quality is far superior to the pirated versions. Behind the stationery store are several rows of bookshelves, on which are placed high-end genuine manga. They are generally not open to the public, because Chu Ke plans to take the VIP route, and he will only solemnly invite customers who spend enough to buy them.

Chu Ke also wraps the genuine manga in small gift boxes, which makes them look classy when held in hand, which can be regarded as catering to the vanity of people of this age.

After reading another volume of X Decay, reminiscing about his childhood, Chu Ke looked at the wall clock next to him and estimated that the nearby middle school should be letting out soon, so he stretched and went downstairs to open the store.

He casually threw the manga, and it floated back to the shelf on its own.

Just as Chu Ke's hand touched the rolling shutter door, his eyes suddenly blurred.

Before the suddenly appearing thing could fully manifest, the Fundamental Forces' appraisal function automatically activated. After determining that it was harmless, it released the other party and transmitted the appraisal results.

[Wild Multiverse Chat Group]

"Huh? What's this?" Chu Ke was stunned for a moment. Although the Fundamental Forces' appraisal function came with understanding, seeing this name still made Chu Ke's brain short-circuit a bit.

Wait, is this a cheat? Whose is it? Should I hand it over to the security booth's lost and found?

Mine? No, right? I already have one, right? At this moment, this thing called "Wild Multiverse Chat Group" slowly unfolded.

A small but extremely clear screen unfolded in front of Chu Ke, it was the UI interface of a certain penguin in his memory.

Seeing this, Chu Ke sighed in relief.

Fortunately, it's not a certain letter, otherwise Chu Ke would have to worry about whether his brain's memory would be inexplicably full.

"Ahem, ahem," a familiar prompt sound rang beside Chu Ke.

[I am the famous_ (Group Owner): Welcome the newcomer to the group.]
[Upright Person: Welcome the newcomer to the group.]
[Captain: Welcome the newcomer to the group.]
[I Want to Eat Hamburger Steak: Welcome the newcomer to the group.]
[I am the famous_ (Group Owner): Wait! ]
[Upright Person: Indeed, something's not right!]
[I am the famous_ (Group Owner): What the heck?! An Out-of-the-Norm level big shot!?]
[I am the famous_ (Group Owner): Wait a minute, Dragon Blood world? Is it the Dragon Blood I'm thinking of? When did that world have this kind of big shot?]

Looking at the chat group that suddenly started spamming, Chu Ke tentatively typed a question mark.

[Salted Fish Fun Person: ?]

What a terrible name? I'm suing you for slander, okay?!
