Chapter 914: No One Can Be So Dumb as to Not Know Calculus and Classical Physics, Right?

The next stop is Faust’s world.

The continuous space jumps have made Xue Dili a bit dizzy with all the math. Although opening a Teleportation Gate is easy for him now, the required calculations for space coordinates forced him to dust off his high school math skills, which he had nearly abandoned.

Ever since Xue Dili gave the Great Sage’s Teleportation Gate to the Fearless Mecha 5332, he had to retake the difficult advanced coordinate calculus and relearn higher mathematics.

You wouldn’t expect it, but the foundation of Magic is mathematics and physics.

As Xue Dili thought about this, perhaps in the future, his school shouldn’t only teach Magic but also establish a new school of thought known as Spiritual Particle Science, where math and physics are the fundamental subjects.

How can anyone hope to become a master of Magic without learning calculus and classical physics by the age of 18?

People can’t possibly be so dull that they can’t learn calculus and classical physics, can they?

Otherwise, Xue Dili thought that opening a Teleportation Gate could be deadly. This isn’t an exaggeration. Xue Dili once coincidentally opened the exact same Teleportation Gate as someone else, resulting in a collision that killed the other person.

Xue Dili couldn’t even remember who that person was or from which world, as his memory was fading. He only remembered that the person was unskilled, unable to understand even fixed coordinates, leading to the collision.

So, Xue Dili accidentally killed him. But later, Xue Dili resurrected him, allowing him to be reborn with his memories intact. Now that child is probably almost one year old.

With this in mind, Xue Dili stepped into the Teleportation Gate.

Meanwhile, on this planet, every city had a “Merit List.”

This was once the homeland of the Twelfth Apostle and also Faust’s hometown. In a world where boys were castrated and forcibly transformed at the age of eight, Xue Dili utterly destroyed the societal structure and, with the borrowed power of the Mimic Venerable King, transferred the entire planet to another galaxy.

Later, Xue Dili killed the Twelfth Apostle, modified the core code of the entire world, and elevated Faust’s “source code” to be the top choice of the World Consciousness.

Thinking about this, Xue Dili recalled that the Twelfth Apostle was the incarnation of this world’s consciousness. Only after he shattered it could Faust rise to power.

Then, he saw everyone dumbfounded in front of the giant monument.

“What’s going on? How did the Merit List suddenly malfunction? Why does someone have all ‘???’ for their merit?” a voice called out.

Xue Dili looked over and saw a large group of “girls” chattering away in front of the Merit List.

Xue Dili: “…”

Tsk, whose brilliant idea was it to assign a Merit List to every city, to spark everyone’s competitive spirit?

Is this list seasonal, refreshing every so many years?

Just as Xue Dili was pondering this, his name disappeared from the Merit List, and the first place was now “Carissa.”

“There must have been a mistake just now, right? The Merit List must have been wrong! It’s a good thing the world fixed it quickly, or big sister Carissa would have cried her eyes out in the restroom,” said a short-haired girl.

“Forget it, let’s not squat here guarding the Merit List all day. We should earn merits too, or we’ll be laughed at. Speaking of which, is there any good opportunity to earn merits lately?” another long-haired woman said irritably.

“I heard the water levels at South River were rising, possibly leading to a breach. Shouldn’t we go and help for merits?” asked a tomboyish girl.

“That news is already outdated. Before South River could breach, Merit List people swarmed over like cats seeing mice, solving the issue quickly. Even if there were affected areas, it didn’t get to us.”

“I also heard that on the southern island, there’s a primitive tribe struggling to eat enough…”

“That’s not viable either. Someone already went there using the Bread Technique, feeding the natives until they couldn’t eat anymore. Now they shake their heads at the sight of bread. We wouldn’t earn a hammer hard merit there!”

“What about protecting marine animals?”

“No chance, that job’s been taken by the person fourth on the Merit List. We can’t compete with them.”

“Planting trees in the desert?”

“Even less chance, that’s been taken by the third person on the Merit List.”

“Protecting the ecology on the snow mountains?”

“That’s also been taken by someone else…”

“We can’t do this, we can’t do that, how are we supposed to earn merits? We can’t have gone through all this, only to tell others our merits are in single digits, right?”

“There’s one way, and that’s to improve the existing Magic System. For instance, enhancing the Bread Technique to create tastier and more varied bread or creating new Techniques and world-renowned literary works.”

“Forget it, we don’t have the brains for that…”

A few young, naive girls chattered around the Merit List, leaving one by one like listless cucumbers.

“Sigh, I do wish it were like half a year ago when the new era began, and people everywhere were hungry. We could have earned massive merits using the Bread Technique. But now, there’s no one in the world who needs our help?”

They walked away, sighing as they went.

However, their words sounded like players today wondering what experience points to farm, only to find all the grind spots occupied by others.
