Sleepless One

It's ten o'clock in the morning.

The bar and casino, which had been open all night, just closed and started cleaning up. The gang members were now sleeping, replenishing their energy for the evening's activities.

"This is the former boss Bront's bedroom. We've changed all the bedding!" Bai Jing looked up one floor from the building where he watched the Teletubbies, and there was Bront's bedroom.

The decoration was surprisingly bookish, as one-third of the space was filled with bookshelves.

Bai Jing was the boss now, and he was starting to think like one.

Bront definitely didn't read these books; weren't they all brand new?

But books could block sightlines, and they could block bullets!

The door was thick and had a password. No one could open it except Denny!

The window didn't face the bed, and it was made of one-way glass, so you couldn't see inside from the outside!

In this line of work, wasn't the biggest fear being assassinated or ambushed?

Denny Roberts, wearing black stockings, sat down on the bed, crossed her legs, and began to caress her round, shapely thighs. Then she looked up and winked at Bai Jing.

"What are you doing? If your legs itch, go scratch them. Don't bring any lice to my bed!" Bai Jing frowned.

"Ugh." Denny's face darkened. She got up angrily, bumped Bai Jing hard with her chest, and then walked away, her high heels clicking.

"So random!" Bai Jing scratched his head, took off his shoes, sat on the bed, and suddenly fell into thought.

He had been up all night too, and he was very sleepy now.

But!

Could he sleep?

Did he dare to sleep!

Could he possibly sleep at a time like this?

What if some of Bront's loyalists shot him? Who knew if the gravity was still active while he was sleeping!

"This is a problem!" Bai Jing was speechless. The only potential loyalist, Lumira, was still too young to be a major threat.

So, it was better to use this time to test whether his abilities required him to keep his eyes open.

Did they require him to be awake to function?

And did his brain become so clear because of his abilities?

Gravity Scan could scan himself, but he'd been too busy all morning to do it!

Universal Gravitation, and the fact that they mutually influenced each other, was the basis of Gravity Scan.

The gravity emitted from Bai Jing's eyes was influenced by the gravity of other objects. Different objects, materials, cells, and even atoms and molecules had different gravitational fluctuations. These fluctuations affected the gravity from Bai Jing's eyes, forming an influenced gravitational image in his perception.

Because gravity could penetrate all matter, this image wasn't a simple two-dimensional image, but rather an interference pattern resembling a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional object.

It was like squashing a mosquito flat; that wasn't a two-dimensional projection because a lot of information was lost in the process.

Only when the position of every atom and every molecule was recorded, and could be read and converted into a complete three-dimensional object, could it be called a perfect two-dimensional projection.

Before, when scanning people and objects, Bai Jing had subconsciously ignored the scientific theory behind it. Only now, when he calmed down, did he realize how profound the underlying principles were.

And terrifying!

Humans couldn't imagine something they had never seen. Humans had never seen higher dimensions, so they couldn't imagine what a higher-dimensional world would look like!

But under the scan of the Black Hole Eye, he had touched that level!

"Although it seems that my Black Hole can currently only control gravity and repulsion, as well as absorb and annihilate everything, my abilities are actually on a very high level!" A surge of ambition suddenly welled up in Bai Jing's heart!

A High-dimensional Perspective, a perspective that transcended the world by one dimension!

This superpower was comparable to physical ascension, a Dimensional Leap!

This was the ultimate pursuit of civilization's evolution and development!

I actually mastered this ability!

Although he wasn't a higher-dimensional being yet, he must be at least halfway there!

I'm no worse than anyone else!

Bai Jing simply sat down cross-legged and slowly began to study it in depth.

When he read novels or watched anime in his past life, he hated those superheroes who were ignorant and wasted their powers like bricks.

Magneto was an idiot, Thor was an idiot, and even Thanos, who was said to have profound wisdom, was an idiot...

Now that he had superpowers, he definitely couldn't be an idiot!

The first thing to solve was the problem of sleep!

If I'm afraid of being ambushed while sleeping, then I just won't sleep!

Sleep served to conserve energy, remove metabolic waste, promote protein synthesis, release growth hormone, and repair immune function, among other things.

Among these, promoting protein synthesis and repairing immune function were long-term processes.

The main reason for the necessity of daily sleep was to clear metabolic waste!

When awake during the day, cells are active, enlarge, and the gaps between them shrink, making cerebrospinal fluid flow difficult. As metabolic waste accumulates, the brain and other organs process it during sleep. At night, cell gaps expand, cerebrospinal fluid flow speeds up, naturally carrying away this metabolic waste.

What is my ability?

Devour!

Then can't I just devour this metabolic waste directly?

He didn't know which were metabolic waste and which weren't, so he could only observe first, then get up and look for information on the bookshelf.

New York has a famous university, Columbia University. Many people may not have heard of this school, but it has a famous alumnus that everyone should know.

This alumnus is Miyano Shiho, who changed her name to Haibara Ai after taking drugs.

Bai Jing discovered these mainly because there were many textbooks on biological and biomedical engineering from Columbia University on this bookshelf, as well as a thick biomedical dictionary.

English is a rather primitive language. Every time something new is created, a new word must be created to correspond to it. With the development of science, a large number of new words have been created, leading to a large number of specialized terms in every discipline.

Laypeople, even those with an English proficiency of Level 8, or scientists in other fields, would be completely bewildered by these specialized texts.

Scientists in America know this, and so do people in China. All scientists know this is not good, hindering scientific exchange and development.

They all also know that Chinese is better.

But asking them to switch? Impossible!

His mind was very clear now. Although he hadn't slept all night and felt groggy, like he was cultivating immortality, his brain's processing speed was not affected.

He flipped through the materials while comparing them with the descriptions in the books.

What do brain cells look like, what does cerebrospinal fluid look like? If you remove the normal parts of the body, aren't the remaining parts metabolic waste!

Bai Jing selected an area above the right brain and began to cautiously try absorbing a little impurity. It seemed to have no effect.

Absorb a little more!

Absorb a little more!

Bai Jing only felt his grogginess gradually disappearing, and he was slowly waking up!

"It really works!" Bai Jing felt the excitement of solving a major problem. He slowly expanded the scanning range, from the right brain to the left brain, and then to the cerebellum!

Two hours later!

Bai Jing suddenly opened his eyes!

It was still a dim darkness, but it revealed a spirit of vitality!

JOJO, I'm not sleeping anymore!

En, from now on, please call me, the Sleepless One!

Bai Jing was excited, then gradually calmed down.

What followed was a sense of lingering fear!

Is this head something to mess with casually? This was the result of this endeavor. What if it failed and he turned into an idiot?

Why didn't he find someone to experiment on!

Slap!

Bai Jing slapped himself in the face. He would absolutely never make any decisions when feeling drowsy again!
