“No… There’s no way to direct the electric current to the stars…”
Shen Zhe’s body trembled hard.
His nerves were paralyzed by the electricity. It was impossible to control his body, much less illuminating the stars!
The idea did not seem to be working.
However… He had a trump card.
The pencil on his notebook floated.
The notebook allowed him to make drugs with a griddle. Could it allow him to illuminate stars with electricity?
Hu!
With the pencil, he wrote on the book, “I can illuminate the stars with electricity!”
Zi la!
His handwriting glittered and did not disappear.
Excited, Shen Zhe felt that his paralyzed nerves were recovered and the electric current was flowing all over his body.
“Gather in the stars…”
Concentrating his attention, he controlled the electric current to flow to the stars.
BOOM!
The dim stars trembled and glimmered, only to die out later!
“What’s going on?”
Frowning, Shen Zhe continued controlling the electric current.
Like just then, the stars flashed and perished. It was impossible to illuminate them.
“The electric charge must be too little…”
Realizing that the stars were dimmer than before, Shen Zhe realized what was going on.
The lemons were bigger and more acidic, but they were still too weak to illuminate the stars.
Heaving a sigh, he spat out the wires.
It was possible to illuminate stars with electricity thanks to the notebook, but what could he do when the electricity was not enough?
It seemed that the task was impossible however many lemons he could find.
His efforts proved to be in vain… Shen Zhe was rather bummed.
He could generate electricity with lemons, but he didn’t really know how to make a generator.
Even an engineer might not be able to make one in the present conditions, let alone a weak student like himself.
He should have studied harder!
“Are you OK?”
Seeing that Shen Zhe was back to himself after only a few cramps, Cui Xiao found it hard to believe.
“I’m fine…”
Nodding his head, Shen Zhe looked at the lemons in the room and said, “I don’t need them anymore. You can help me get rid of them…”
Most of the acids had been used up so they had become useless to him.
“You don’t need them anymore?”
Cui Xiao was rather regretful that the lemons were abandoned so quickly after an afternoon of hard work.
He stored the sliced lemons into a box and was about to leave the dormitory when a heavy rain poured down.
Moments after, the world was illuminated by lightning.
Without anybody realizing it, it was already dark.
“What a big lightning bolt…” said Cui Xiao with mixed feelings.
“Lightning…?”
Shen Zhe was beaming; he was wondering where he could find a source of electricity.
That was his answer!
Electricity from lemons was too insignificant to illuminate stars, but lightning had much more!
It was even more powerful than the industrially generated electricity.
If he could attract the lightning’s electricity into his body, his stars would definitely be illuminated easily!
The more he thought, the more sense it made. Shen Zhe was going to attract the lightning when something else occurred to him.
“The lightning is very powerful. Will it kill me?”
He had heard of a lot of victims killed by lightning. What if the electricity was too much for him?
He might as well not illuminate the stars if that were the case, because he could still be rich and alive.
“Should I try it with Cui Xiao like just now?”
He looked at the young man not far away.
If Cui Xiao was not killed by it, he would try it in person…
He shook his head the moment the idea popped up.
He was determined to improve his cultivation, but that didn’t mean that he had to hurt other people.
He would never place Cui Xiao in such danger, even if the guy had slandered him before.
It was a matter of principle.
If he did that, would he be any different from a bad guy?
“I’m going to try it. It shouldn’t be a problem with the notebook and my stage-seven body…”
Shen Zhe narrowed his eyes.
While the lightning was powerful, it shouldn’t be a problem for the notebook since it could alter reality.
Thinking about that, he jumped out of the room and into the rain without any hesitation.
“Lightning, come on!”
He pointed at the sky solemnly.
Crack!
A thunder rumbled but Shen Zhe was not hit.
“…”
Cui Xiao had not left yet and was stunned by this.
“What the heck?”
“It was weird enough that he spent the whole afternoon playing with lemons…”
“He’s now even demanding for a lightning strike in the rain… Is he crazy?”
“What are you doing?” Cui Xiao couldn’t help but ask him.
“I’m trying to practice my art…” Shen Zhe replied, frowning.
“Okay… I’ll leave you to it. I’ll be on my way.”
