The backdrop can also be propped up.

"Well, let's not talk about that for now. What did you want to ask us when you came into the consciousness space this time?" Lu Renkui asked.

"When my sisters and I were sentenced to be burned at the stake by the church, a sudden downpour extinguished the fire beside us. I want to ask what happened?" Borest said.

"The fire was burning and then suddenly it started to rain. I think I've seen this happen before..." Lu Renkui crossed his arms and began to recall.

"Did they drag you into the valley and burn you to death?" System WQBYRZM asked.

"Yes, they'll drag them into the valley and burn them to death."

“That makes sense,” Lu Renkui said. “Fires consume a lot of fuel and release heat, causing the ground temperature to rise, which in turn heats up the air near the ground. During this process, water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets. Moreover, the solid particles produced by the fire can act as condensation nuclei, helping water vapor condense into water droplets more quickly.”

"But the fire has to be big enough. How much firewood did they pile up to burn you?" Lu Renkui asked.

"I can't remember clearly, but I do remember that when they lit the fire, all I could see were flames, and the smoke from the burning flames made it impossible to see anyone," Borist recalled.

“That explains it—with such a huge fire in the valley, it would be strange if it didn’t rain halfway through the fire,” Lu Renkui said.

“Then this matter has nothing to do with the gods,” Borest said.

“Yes.” After saying this, Lu Renkui felt that this kid might follow in his father’s footsteps, so he quickly added, “Just think about it in private, don’t say it out loud. Otherwise, you’ll easily get into trouble. Your two younger sisters still need you to take care of them.”

"okay, I get it."

"That's good. Let's change the subject. Are you sure you want to hand over all the results of your hard work to Heledi?" Lu Renkui asked—she felt quite aggrieved by what Borist had just agreed to Heledi's request.

“Well, I didn’t say I was just handing it over to Heledi,” Borest said. “I can also share my research findings with other people.”

"what?"

"He only told me to send him a copy of my research results and not to tell anyone else, but he didn't say that I could only send it to him."

“Then I can simply distribute my research findings to other people, and have them release them before Heledi and request anonymity. That way, it wouldn’t violate that statement,” Borest said matter-of-factly.

Lu Renkui clapped his hands – as expected of a top student, he really pinpointed the flaws accurately.

"So what do you plan to do after that? Who else besides Heledi will you give a copy of your research findings to?" Lu Renkui asked.

“Hmm, I might be able to give that copy to Professor William. Professor William does publish articles in the Magic Weekly, so giving him a copy wouldn't be a problem.” Borist began to consider who he could give his research findings to so that they could be published before Heledi.

Seeing that Borui was thinking, the system WQBYRZM quietly pulled Lu Renkui aside and asked, "Why do I always feel like this guy is being turned into a sesame dumpling by the two of us?"

Lu Renkui, who has been explaining modern scientific knowledge to Boruist almost every day these past few days, said: "Uh... not really."

Upon returning home and entering his room, Borest was greeted by a house full of crows—all brought by Borest's familiar, the Crow King.

When the Crow King saw Borist return, he flapped his wings and flew to Borist, saying, "Oh ho! Human, why are you only returning now?"

Upon seeing this, Borest quickly closed the door and called the Crow King aside, saying, "How did you manage to fly straight into my room through the window? It's daytime!"

"Wow, do you have no idea how remote your room is? A whole flock of crows flew over and didn't see a single person." The Crow King flapped his wings and flew to his favorite night rock.

"Alright, I got it. So what are you going to do with them?" Borest rubbed his temples.

"I'll call all the more respected birds over for you to see, so they'll remember you," the Crow King said, flapping his wings. "Remember to hand over your food on time, kid."

“Well, I need to teach him how to cook communal meals,” Lu Renkui said. “By the way, do the ingredients for cooking communal meals even exist in this world?”
