Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1177 Life Array

"Schizophrenia? My disciple, how could you have schizophrenia?" Lan Chen grabbed Shi Jia's arm and looked him up and down.

Shi Jia felt that his master must really want to scan him with an X-ray at this moment.

"Well, it's probably because I've been training too hard lately and my mind is too tense, so my body wants to give up." Shi Jia was telling the truth; he had already contacted the little system.

His soul and body have begun to show signs of rejection.

Lan Chen looked at him speechlessly, "Disciple, if you feel too tired, just say so. Your teacher isn't the kind of person who doesn't show mercy. How about this, you can rest tomorrow and don't have to do anything."

Shi Jia smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, the little system told him that his time in the world had been shortened; he could have stayed for three years, but now he only had two.

Moreover, if yesterday's situation were to repeat itself, his stay would be even shorter, and he might even leave at any time!

Lan Chen noticed his worry but didn't say anything, only telling Shi Jia to go back and get some rest.

After he left, he immediately contacted Aquilina and others to carefully investigate the specifics of this so-called "schizophrenia".

As the creator of the Dark Street and a peak Rainbow Rank expert, Lan Chen had been operating in the Kingdom of Painting for hundreds of years, with his spies all over the country. Soon, he learned everything about Shi Jia (Sun Yu)'s past.

After reading it, he was somewhat confused. "Could it be that my disciple really has schizophrenia?"

Otherwise, how can we explain the coexistence of a fool and a genius in one person?
"Hiss, I seem to have cared too little for my disciple." Lan Chen felt a pang of self-reproach; he hadn't even known his disciple had such a serious mental illness. It was truly inexcusable.

No, he had to find a way to cure his disciple. With that thought, Lan Chen jumped up the stairs and began searching for books on mental health and psychology.

Shi Jia, the person involved, was naturally unaware of his teacher's deep worries. He had already returned to his residence and fallen asleep, exhausted.

In his dream, he seemed to see Sun Yu, who was aggressively hurling insults at him, questioning why she wouldn't leave and why she was still occupying his body.

Shi Jia didn't say anything, just watched quietly as Sun Yu sat down on the ground after cursing until he was exhausted.

She sat quietly, and for some reason, she felt incredibly tired; her body suddenly felt so heavy. She wanted to rest, but…

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Yu suddenly grinned at her, 'Heh heh, I've already reported it to the mission system!'

"Hmm—" Shi Jia rubbed her temples as she woke up from her dream, "I actually dreamed about Sun Yu!"

He chuckled softly for a while before getting out of bed, quietly washing up, and changing his clothes. When he came out of the bedroom, there was already breakfast on the dining table.

A bowl of his favorite spirit rice porridge, five steamed buns, a fried dough stick, and a serving of fruit slices.

There was no one in the house. The maid would leave after delivering breakfast each day, and Shi Jia would immediately reappear to put away the dishes after she finished eating.

After finishing her breakfast, Shi Jia walked to the eaves outside the living room, sat down in a chair, and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, as well as the goldfish playing in the small pond.

He was in a good mood, so he took out his easel and began sketching the flowers and plants in the yard.

As he drew, he unconsciously started drawing array diagrams again.

As a fragrant aroma wafted through the air, and the clinking of cutlery filled the restaurant, he turned the pages of a thick stack of his sketchbooks.

Shi Jia couldn't help but chuckle, "Sigh, I've drawn too many pictures, I've been brainwashed."

After lunch, he couldn't stay still any longer and took the sketchbook to the laboratory.

The laboratory was not far from his house; it was specially created for him by Lan Chen, who also rearranged the layout of the dark street for this purpose.

As soon as Shi Jia entered the laboratory, he couldn't wait to take out mineral pigments and start outlining the array.

This is a formation he designed this morning while observing the flowers and plants; it has the effect of gathering energy to promote growth.

Yes, it's another composite formation.

Since developing the composite array, he has developed a particular fondness for composite arrays, often combining various array techniques together. Of course, not all arrays can be combined. Many combinations of arrays actually create conflicts, leading to explosions. This necessitates verification.

Now Shi Jia is verifying the formation he designed that morning.

Colorful light burst forth, and the array diagram appeared. The array diagram, shimmering with energy, floated quietly in mid-air.

One second, two seconds... a minute passed, and the array diagram remained unchanged, indicating that there was no conflict between the array diagram and the array diagram.

But that doesn't mean you've succeeded!
Shi Jia looked around; there were no green plants in the laboratory! With a thought, a sapling appeared in the center of the array.

There was no movement. Shi Jia frowned, then suddenly remembered that the sapling was not a plant, but an energy manifestation.

He slapped his forehead, about to put the sapling away, when suddenly, energy began to flow within the laboratory, rushing towards the array diagram.

The next second, Shi Jia felt the joy emanating from the sapling. "Wow, it really works!"

"Success?"

Shi Jia blinked, quickly realizing the problem: the sapling was an energy manifestation, and the array was effective against energy manifestations, meaning it had failed. But in another sense, it had succeeded.

"Perhaps I should try finding a potted plant," Shi Jia said, looking at the sapling stretching out its body in the array.

"Huh, isn't this energy absorption speed a bit too fast!" Shi Jia felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had suddenly gone from a place with abundant water to a desert, and was a little "thirsty".

To be precise, it's an energy deficiency!
He glanced at the energy monitor on the wall; the value was dropping rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, two huge zeros appeared on it.

Shi Jia gasped. Was this a joke?

The designer himself was shocked and rushed out of the laboratory with great interest.

"I need to go to the Black Zone, quick!" Shi Jia said impatiently to the driver as she got into the car.

"Mr. Shi, are you planning to take a walk in the Black Zone?" The driver knew it was Shi Jia's day off.

"Almost. I won't go in too far, just next to the safety door."

"Okay." The driver nodded, started the car, but didn't forget to report to Lan Chen.

Shi Jia ignored the driver's little tricks; at that moment, he was enthusiastically perfecting the Vitality Array Diagram.

That's right, the name he just chose is about absorbing nutrients to promote plant growth, so how can it not be considered vitality?
After careful calculation, he discovered that the formation had many flaws. For example, its structure was unstable and it would collapse under the impact of massive energy. Also, once it started, it could not be stopped. This could very likely lead to the plants overgrowing and dying.

But this isn't a problem for the bottomless pit that is the sapling. On the contrary, it's a good thing.

The dark alley was very close to Security Gate No. 8, and soon they passed through the security gate and entered the dark area.

Five hundred meters from the safety gate, the driver turned off the car and looked back at Shi Jia, "Your Excellency Shi, we've arrived."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll finish right away." Shi Jia didn't even look up, and continued writing furiously.

The driver opened his mouth, wanting to persuade the other party, but since the other party was doing research, he finally decided to remain silent.

An hour later, Shi Jia looked up at the window and said, "The door is close to the security door."

"Your Excellency, no guards have come with you, so you'd better not go too far in," the driver said.

"Alright then." Shi Jia nodded; it was just an experiment anyway. He pushed open the door and walked out.

The driver hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Shi Jia. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Shige walked away step by step.

Fortunately, he stopped at a distance of 100 meters. The driver breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't get a chance to relax for long. He saw a burst of colorful light in front of Xiao Shi, followed by a strong wind.

The driver was horrified and exclaimed, "Mr. Xiao Shi!"
