Silence fell over the tent. Lü Yang swallowed hard and whispered to himself:
"Senior, although my geography isn't great, theoretically... the latitude we're at shouldn't produce auroras, right?"
Li Yu sighed for no apparent reason:
"Therefore, the theory needs to be revised."
If the sheep infected with the Blood Poison was still within the acceptable range for everyone present, then the aurora that appeared in an area that shouldn't have appeared completely stunned everyone present for a brief moment.
" Li Yu, Lü Yang, you two come here for a moment."
The two, who were whispering to each other, suddenly heard their professor's voice and quickly went to his side.
"Do you guys have any different feelings?"
"Feel? Do you feel it?"
Lü Yang tilted his head in confusion.
Seeing the student's dazed expression, the professor couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.
What is your Psionic Energy Compatibility?
3 o'clock.
I can't count on you.
"I swear to God, teacher, I put all my points into Animal Compatibility for the drug trials, you know that!"
The professor waved his hand to silence his wayward disciple, then turned to ask Li Yu:
"And you?"
8 o'clock.
"It's alright. Take a closer look and see if you feel anything different from usual."
"Teacher, the method I learned is from another world..."
"I know, that's why I want you to try it now."
Li Yu obediently did as instructed, found a chair in the corner of the tent, and closed her eyes amidst the white noise of the operators typing on keyboards and touchscreens.
As an official who had long known that Psionic Energy would have a minor impact on the real world, he had recently been allocating his free points to Psionic Energy Compatibility after leveling up.
After all, the remaining three attributes have not yet shown any connection with the real world. Only Psionic Energy Compatibility, even if it is just making the written words emit a faint light in the dark, can at least be considered a kind of supernatural ability in a broad sense.
He closed his eyes and entered an indescribable state. This was part of the pattern that the staff had summarized after extensive replication. Although it was still intermittent, he had at least touched the threshold of Psionic Energy.
Unfortunately, Li Yu had tried this in the real world before, but each time he failed. He had not actually entered a state where he could sense Psionic Energy like some of the experts in the records.
To sense the presence or fluctuations of Psionic Energy, two things need to be done simultaneously: first, be as excited as when Psionic Energy was proven to exist; second, enter a state of extreme focus similar to that of a bomb disposal expert.
Having undergone multiple training sessions, Li Yu adjusted her breathing rate, forcibly slowing her heartbeat down little by little, and entered a near-meditative state according to the method described in the internal documents.
It was as if a thin wall had appeared in his ears, and the volume of the white noise that had never been a problem was gradually decreasing, as if the wall was gradually thickening, or as if he was moving away from this world.
In this state, Li Yu sensed something different.
As if walking in a gentle spring breeze, he felt the air around him become fresh and vibrant.
The free-flowing Psionic Energy swirled around him, seemingly trying to assimilate him.
But Li Yu knew that there was nothing she could do at that moment.
Let alone opening his eyes or moving a finger, even just shrugging his throat would immediately pull him out of his current state of "synesthesia" with Psionic Energy.
The feeling was so wonderful and mysterious that he felt more reluctant to part with it than nervous.
All he could do was try his best to record his current feelings and report the situation to his mentor when he could no longer maintain this state.
The mentor's premonition was correct; he actually sensed Psionic Energy in the real world today, and the intensity of it far exceeded any previous record.
Thinking about this, Li Yu couldn't help but feel excited. Would there be any phenomena or theorems named after him in the future?
However, given the current situation, the first author will undoubtedly remain his mentor.
He secretly thought: if he could become a second author, he might consider adding Lü Yang's name to the list of corresponding authors, provided that Lü Yang continued to faithfully help him with the PPT as always.
Huh?
A question arose in Li Yu's mind.
He sensed that the situation around him had changed once again.
The originally dense Psionic Energy seemed to gradually dissipate, like a deep-sea fish arriving in shallow water. Although the surrounding seawater was still no different, the feeling of being enveloped was not as strong as before.
What happened?
Could it be that I've fallen into that synesthetic state?
No, the white noise around me still feels like it's coming through thick walls, which means there's nothing wrong with my condition.
Then there's only one answer: the problem lies with Psionic Energy.
My perception was correct; the surrounding Psionic Energy density was indeed decreasing rapidly.
Li Yu forced herself to maintain the synesthetic state for another minute, and then withdrew from meditation as she could no longer sense Psionic Energy.
He looked at the professor who was staring at him and said in a confident tone:
"Teacher, the aurora... it should have disappeared by now, right?"
You're right.
The professor nodded and said in a heavy tone:
"Rising and falling, just like... the tides."
The three, master and disciples, looked at each other in silence. After a moment, the professor sighed and said:
" Li Yu, log on and check if there are any anomalies in the World of Disorder."
"Clear."
"Teacher, what about me?"
Lü Yang, standing next to him, was beaming with excitement.
The professor glanced at him and said:
"Don't go anywhere. Help me record the experimental data. Sheep number 1 is almost completely mutated."
Nightfall in the real world is dawn in the World of Disorder.
After finishing all the miscellaneous matters in Fir City and Valhalla, Ed finally had a good night's sleep.
In fact, he doesn't need much sleep now, but his past life still left some traces on him, including the need for a somewhat ritualistic ending after finishing something important.
For him, nothing is more ritualistic than getting a good night's sleep.
The first rays of dawn streamed into Ed's study. He rolled over comfortably, the languid expression on his face vanishing instantly.
In a state between sleep and wakefulness, Ed sensed that his surroundings had changed slightly—the material world remained unchanged, but Psionic Energy seemed to be flowing significantly.
The World of Disorder has never lacked Psionic Energy; what it lacks is only pure Psionic Energy.
The Psionic Energy corrupted by the Demonic Tide is widely distributed in every corner of this world. Even Low Tier beings with a Psionic Energy Compatibility of ten points can have a relatively clear sense of it.
