12: Chapter 12 Bikini Charging Method? A Shocking New Circuit for My Cousin!
"...Huh?" Standing to the side, Lin Xiao had expected her cousin to evaluate Su Bai's card in a certain way.
But the result was this?
Drawn incorrectly?
Drawn incorrectly...
Doesn't that mean she had been scammed!
"Kill... kill you!" Lin Xiao clenched her fists, muttering incomprehensible words.
For the past few days, she had been constantly torn between whether she had been scammed or perhaps just played.
The fifty thousand yuan was a small matter; what was important was her own judgment.
If her family found out she had been tricked by a classmate... she might really be laughed at for the rest of her life!
So, although Lin Xiao appeared calm, she was actually in a state of high stress, and as soon as she heard Lin Weiwei's words, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Beside her, Zhao Dahai hurriedly said, "Don't, don't get anxious. If it were really a trash card, how could your cousin have this kind of reaction? She would definitely be angrier than you!"
"...That's true."
Upon hearing Zhao Dahai's words, Lin Weiwei suddenly froze, realized what was happening, and then decided to stay calm and continue observing.
...
"Drawn incorrectly?" Su Bai tilted his head, naturally unaware of what Lin Xiao had just experienced.
"If it's Space Folding, you should be copying Master Li Qingyue's fourth set of Spatial Topology Diagrams."
Lin Weiwei flipped the card over and pointed to a node on the back. "Look here—standard Space Folding requires three-axis locking, but your array lacks locking axes. Without locking axes, space will collapse the moment it unfolds. This is basic common knowledge for the Spatial type."
"It won't collapse," Su Bai said.
"What?"
"I said it won't collapse. Because that isn't a three-axis locking structure; it's a seven-axis rotation structure."
Lin Weiwei was stunned.
"...Seven axes?"
"Mm."
Su Bai nodded, speaking in a tone like he was explaining that one plus one equals two. "Master Li Qingyue's fourth set of diagrams uses three-axis locking—one mana anchor point each for the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
But the load-bearing capacity of three-axis locking is limited; it can only fold conventional matter at most. If you want to fold biological organisms, especially their nervous systems, you need to introduce four phase axes in addition to the three spatial axes, forming a 720-degree heteromorphic isomorphic framework."
The training room went quiet.
So quiet that one could hear the sound of Zhao Dahai's teeth chattering.
Lin Xiao's expression was no longer "Kill you"—it was the crazy killing intent of "I will tear you to pieces, damn Jiahao."
Lin Weiwei was even more silent.
It wasn't because of shock.
It was because she found it too absurd!
Seven-axis rotation? Folding biological organisms? Why don't you say you can stuff an elephant into a ping pong ball?
She took a deep breath, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.
No matter how exquisite the workmanship, it couldn't change one fact: every word this junior said was challenging the bottom line of her common sense as a Tier 4 Spatial Card Creator.
"Fine."
Lin Weiwei put the card back on the testing table and crossed her arms. "Then tell me, how do you activate this thing? What function does it have?"
"This is a contract core card," Su Bai said. "Its main function is negative energy collection. It can convert the user's negative emotions—despair, shame, anger, and so on—into mana. However, it hasn't been bound to a physical carrier yet, so it can only undergo basic charging tests."
Lin Weiwei raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Absorbing negative emotions?"
She smiled without smiling. "Then how should I generate negative emotions to activate it?"
This was a rhetorical question.
Lin Xiao and Zhao Dahai simultaneously had a bad premonition.
Su Bai rubbed his chin, deep in thought for about three seconds. During those three seconds, his expression was very serious: his brows were slightly furrowed, his gaze was focused, and his lips were pursed into a line. That was the standard expression of a problem solver facing a technical challenge.
Then he spoke.
"I'm not quite sure where the bottom line is either."
He paused.
"Perhaps, Cousin, you could try running a lap down the street wearing a bikini right now? According to my calculations, the energy generated by that kind of extreme shame would definitely be the strongest—"
The air in the training room instantly solidified.
This wasn't a figure of speech.
It really solidified.
Zhao Dahai's breathing stopped. Lin Xiao's eyelid stopped twitching. Even the mana fluctuation monitor on the wall stopped flickering.
Of course, this was impossible, but when Lin Xiao recalled it later, she insisted that even the machine had been scared silly.
Lin Weiwei's expression collapsed.
That face, which had originally carried composure and superiority, completed the entire transition from calm to rage in an instant. Her face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, the upward curve of her eyes became ferocious, and the polite curve of her mouth was completely twisted into a downward-bending line.
"You—"
Her voice was trembling.
Not because of fear.
Because of anger.
Extreme anger.
And, although she would die before admitting it... a trace of extreme shame.
"Are you sick?!"
Lin Weiwei's voice exploded from the training room, causing the monitor readings on the wall to jump. "You want me, a Tier 4 Card Creator, to run on the street wearing a bikini?! What kind of lewd, trashy thing have you made?!"
Along with her, Lin Xiao, who had been holding it back for a long time, also erupted from the side.
"Su Bai!!!!"
Lin Xiao's voice was terrifyingly high at this moment, worthy of a true Lion's Roar.
Killing intent.
Sky-high killing intent!
That killing intent turned into substance, striking directly into Su Bai's mind, making even Su Bai unable to help but be shocked.
This woman's emotional energy... was immeasurable!
Su Bai opened his mouth, just as he was about to explain something, the Kyubey magic card on the table suddenly erupted with a blinding light.
A pinkish-black light.
It was like someone had mixed strawberry milkshake with abyss sludge, added a whole bucket of glitter, and then dumped it all into the training room.
The light gushed out from Su Bai's pocket, instantly swallowing the entire space!
"What—?!"
Lin Weiwei instinctively released her Tier 4 Mental Power.
Immediately after, she, Lin Xiao, and Zhao Dahai all saw the card float up!
The Spatial Circuit representing Kyubey bloomed in space, silver light flowing, emotional energy pouring out in an instant, quietly transforming into a complex structure in a split second.
Immediately after, a stunning pink energy was born out of thin air, and the moment that light appeared, the entire laboratory began to vibrate!
"What is going on?!"
"What is this energy!"
Lin Xiao and Lin Weiwei simultaneously realized something, their mouths agape, looking at the pink energy in front of them in disbelief.
Under their Mental Power perception, they could clearly sense that almost terrifying fluctuation.
This was an energy entity that did not belong to anything known in modern times.
However, both of them could simultaneously feel—this energy entity contained incredible power!
This was the power of a "Miracle"!
Among them, Lin Weiwei's feeling was even more profound.
The Mental Power field of a Tier 4 Card Creator was enough to suppress the energy fluctuations of the vast majority of low-level cards. As long as it wasn't a card of the same tier or higher, it would quickly extinguish under her Mental Power suppression.
However, in the face of this miracle power, her Mental Power was actually being suppressed!
But even so, in this split second, Lin Weiwei tried to make contact with the card.
Then her Mental Power made contact with the card's circuit.
And then she was struck as if by lightning!
She finally saw the full picture of that circuit.
Seven-axis rotation structure.
Not a joke!
Not a term made up by pseudoscience!
There were really seven spatial axes rotating simultaneously!
Three physical axes were responsible for matter folding, and four phase axes were responsible for information transmission. Each axis was rotating at a speed that was infuriatingly precise, forming a large number of usable energy channels between them.
And the result caused by this structure was—
The fluency of the Spatial Circuit.
Unprecedented!
Lin Weiwei had once tested her own spatial card.
That Tier 4 spatial teleportation card she was most proud of had a mana conductivity of 73 percent.
This was already data that ranked in the top 10 percent among high-level spatial cards certified by the Jinghai Cardmaker Association.
But now—
This Tier 1 card in her hand.
This card made by a failing student who couldn't even draw a basic circuit steadily.
Its mana conductivity—
Exceeded 90 percent!
What was going on?
Why was it like this?
Whose handiwork was this Spatial Circuit really from?
But before this thought could take shape, Lin Weiwei's thinking was interrupted by another more urgent crisis.
The pink magical light representing the miracle dissipated in the air, turning into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
Su Bai's pupils constricted, feeling a bit guilty.
The dissipation of this pink light meant that the magic had activated an effect under everyone's will, but he himself didn't know exactly what effect it was.
After all, he hadn't been a Magical Girl yet!
However... it shouldn't be harmful, because the activation of this magic was actually generated by everyone's negative emotions; the magic shouldn't attack its master.
But immediately after, the mana in the training room was drained!
