Chapter 72 Author's Words Review of Chapters -
Chapter 57: Operation, Clearance, and Determination

Xu Ying activated the clearing function and cleared the opponent's perception. Although not all of it, it was still a serious matter. If it was Mu Zhengguang, he would never do this.

The asymptote is connected to the heart, and Xu Ying affects the opponent's heart, causing irreversible and obvious weakening to the opponent.

This is different from clearing asymptotes. Clearing asymptotes is like taking away a myopic person's glasses. Clearing perception and then affecting the functioning of asymptotes is like making a non-myopic person become myopic. If you lose your glasses, you can find a way to get another pair. Myopia is usually irreversible.

Xu Yingze is more courageous and fearless. Compared with Mu Zhengguang, she has been more seriously injured in the competition and has caused more harm to others. If Xu Yingze is angered, the consequences will be disastrous. If Qiu Shanfu does something more outrageous, he may be turned into a fool.

Mu Zhengguang believes in "showing mercy". If his opponent hurts him, he will inflict "equal degrees" of damage, and then use the opponent's presence to recover from the injury, and that's all.

The battle with Qiu Shanfu lasted for four chapters, and Xu Ying did not gain any benefits during the battle. In the second half of the battle, both sides were irrational and fought with anger and hatred. During this process, Xu Ying did not use the golden hairpin and silver key.

If it were Mu Zhengguang, he would definitely not clear the opponent's perception, but he would definitely use existence absorption to take the opponent's asymptote for himself. His performance on the field was more like that of a creditor.

This chapter talks about "mass", so let me say a few more words. Here is the original text: The "ice wall" is about 0.5 meters thick, about 50 meters in diameter, and about 30 meters high. If it is solid, its mass is about 4313.7 tons.

（25-24.5）π×30×0.92＝4317.7。

Chapter 1000 contains the standard mass formula: M=αk/, k=（r/p）, p=n^n.

The specific value of α is not given in the article, and Guo Qiwei's α is used to estimate the maximum M of the second-order intermediate.

α=1.75，r=999，n=2，这时M=27261.8。差不多27吨。远远小于4313.7吨。

After the second order, the capabilities of the asymptotes become more complex (the asymptotes remain the same, but the usage of asymptotes and asymptote entities increases), which are briefly classified here.

Take destroying a stone as an example: Guo Qiwei can crush the stone with a full moon, and Dai Wenpeng can draw plants and animals to hit the stone. These two methods rely on mass and kinetic energy. Qing Fuyu and Qi Wenjing can summon elves and let the elves release skills to crush the stone. This method relies on energy. Directly decomposing the stone and changing the properties of the stone rely on rules.

In addition, there are some indirect ways to decompose stones and change their properties, such as crushing stones with super-large gravity, using asymptotes to make corrosive liquids, transferring stones to special environments, and speeding up the flow of time (asymptotes for manipulating time do not appear in the article, but this method is feasible).

The above methods of destroying stones are very efficient. Next, let’s talk about the less efficient ones.

Some asymptotes can only act on living things (or even only on living people), for example, the force related to "missing" and the anxiety force related to "memories". Some asymptotes can only act on living things (even dead creatures), for example, the force related to illness.

The golden hairpin and scissors have mass and kinetic energy, but their mass is extremely small (compared with the standard mass formula), so it is more difficult for these people to break the stone (only limited to low levels).

To sum up, according to their main functions, asymptotes can be roughly divided into four categories: mass, energy, mind, and rules.

Spiritual asymptotes have little impact on matter, but they have a huge impact on people. The protagonist mainly guards against this type of asymptotes.

Back to the topic, let’s continue analyzing Xu Yingze’s game.

"Everything, whether it continues or not, will be cleared as I wish." Does this sentence sound familiar? In Chapter 21, when Mu Zhengguang used the existence clearing method, there was a similar sentence, "Everything, whether it disappears or not, will be cleared as I wish."

"Silently, the order was issued. In a flash, the result was formed" and "The mind turned, the judgment was made, it seemed sudden, but in fact there were signs." These two sentences correspond to "The moment he was 'moved', the result was naturally established and issued automatically" and "Clearing 'victory' is an abstract and vague term, but once the order of 'clearing existence' is issued, the phenomenon is formed, the facts change, and as he thought, his wish is fulfilled."

"Visible organs can feel light, pain, hunger, cold... Invisible organs can feel emotion, love, desire, suffering... The functions of these two types of organs are suppressed." The functions of the two types of organs are also very important. This is the narration and the setting.

"Qiu Shanfu's use of the anxiety power related to 'memories' is not as efficient and skillful as before, and the wind element she can mobilize has been permanently reduced." This is the result of running the clearing, which shows that Qiu Shanfu was seriously injured, and Xu Ying did indeed "severely attack this opponent."

In this chapter, Xu Ying said that she was only slightly injured, which was true. In Chapter 61, Xu Ying said that she was seriously injured, which was also true.

------------

Chapter 58: My Heart Is Not Made of Stone

The title of this chapter will not be explained here. From the title, we can see that this chapter is the main scene of the two protagonists. This chapter has more than 3,000 words, and the content is quite substantial.

This book is not a romance story, and the relationship between the two protagonists cannot be called a romantic relationship so far, but as the plot has developed to this point and the relationship between the two protagonists has been written, the author has to do his best.

The love between the two people runs through the entire text. The author has written so much "theory". Wouldn't it be a joke if he failed to write about that beautiful and unique relationship when writing about practice?
When writing these contents, the author's role is to construct the environment, as well as to observe and record.

The most important thing is that the protagonist can think freely and make choices in a specific environment, event, time and place.

In the summary of Chapter 49, it is written that "the meeting of the two protagonists was very accidental." In the summary of this chapter, another point can be added: the abilities of the two protagonists are also very accidental. Note that there are no quotation marks around "accidental" here.

If Mu Zhengguang said these words, there would be quotation marks, but if the author said them, there would be no quotation marks. Mu Zhengguang was a person who experienced these things firsthand, and these things were inevitable for him. But the author is a bystander, and many people are bystanders. The views of bystanders and those who have experienced them firsthand may not be the same.

Neither Lu Hao nor Shang Yu possesses the protagonist's combat power that far exceeds that of ordinary people, nor does he possess the protagonist's brilliant thinking.

Lu Hao and Shang Yu will encounter many challenges on their road to love, and each challenge has the potential to knock them down, but Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying will not. They have strong hearts and strengths, and ordinary risks are nothing in front of them.

In this chapter, there is a more detailed description of Xu Yingze's appearance: "She is spotless, wearing a white pajamas... and shorts that are two or three centimeters below the knees." "The round collar is slightly low, revealing the collarbone. Her long hair is fluttering, a little wet. Her eyes are clear and close. Her figure is well-proportioned and full of energy. Her skin is fair and her smile is calm."

The author rarely writes about appearance, not because he doesn't know how to write, but because there is no need to write about it most of the time.

These two descriptions of appearance are written from Mu Zhengguang's perspective, which is obviously different from the narration. These descriptions finally come to one point, "I seem to understand why it is beneficial for you to have a youthful appearance forever." There is no need to analyze this sentence in detail, I believe everyone can guess the connotation.

Xu Yingze's mind is delicate and complex. In comparison, Mu Zhengguang's mind seems a bit dull. This dullness has already been shown through many details in the previous text. In the large-scale chaos, the matter of the eternal childhood, the matter of sealing the main line, etc., these things were all thought of by Xu Yingze first.

In this chapter, Xu Yingze also thought about many things, and she told Mu Zhengguang her thoughts in her own way. The effect of this conversation is what is written in the penultimate paragraph: "The two people's worldviews...have more overlap and integration."

There is a sentence in the article, "What you and I have reached is an agreement to share the asymptotic main line, not an agreement to share the main line of life."

The term "sharing the thread of life" sounds a bit abstract, but its meaning is very simple, which is to become husband and wife.

The main points have been discussed, let’s analyze the details in detail.

The first detail, psychological description.

Xu Yingze's four very long inner monologues.

The first paragraph, "The smell of blood on your body is so strong that it makes me want to vomit... If you can get other people's silver keys and golden hairpins, so can I."

The second paragraph, "You can see the wound on my neck at a glance, but if you only see the wound on my neck, you will definitely think too much... What you and I have reached is an agreement to share the asymptotic main line, not an agreement to share the main line of life."

The content is long, but it can be summarized in two words: care. Care is shown in two aspects: first, wanting to protect you and make new clothes for you. Second, telling you the truth so that you don't worry.

The third paragraph reads, "Classmate, you have to be very careful when you speak... You are smart and considerate, so you will definitely be able to figure out what I want to say to you from these questions."

At first glance, the first and last sentences seem to conflict, but in fact, they do not.

Two reasons: 1. The first sentence is Mu Zhengguang's behavior on rare occasions, and the last sentence is Mu Zhengguang's behavior on most occasions. 2. Xu Ying asked him suddenly, and he didn't think carefully before answering.

The fourth paragraph reads, "You are someone I value and cherish...I will do my best to avoid doing anything that troubles you."

Let me make one thing clear first. If Mu Zhengguang is a bad guy, then Xu Ying is stupid to think so.

Let me ask an unnecessary question: How to prove that Mu Zhengguang is not a bad person?
Let's look at it from three aspects. First, how did he treat his opponents? Second, how did he treat his friends? Third, how did he treat Xu Yingze?

In addition to four very long inner monologues, Xu Ying also has several shorter monologues, one of which is: You have experience in constructing golden stepping stones, so even if you are given some forces that don't seem so friendly, you will definitely be able to use them well.

This passage can prove from the "fourth aspect" that Mu Zhengguang is not a bad person.

Fourth aspect: How does Mu Zhengguang treat asymptotes?

Now that we clearly know that Mu Zhengguang is not a bad person, Xu Yingze’s fourth monologue is completely appropriate.

There are also five paragraphs of psychological description of Mu Zhengguang, all of which are relatively short.

First paragraph: You should have finished your shower, right? If you have just washed your hair, then...then I will pack the grilled fish and bring it back for you to eat at home.

Mu Zhengguang waited for an hour, but he was still considering the other party instead of complaining or blaming him.

Second paragraph: It’s rude of me to stare at you like that…I try my best to see Guang’s appearance clearly.

This passage seems to make people feel that Mu Zhengguang is not a noble person. Let's think about it the other way around. If he were a very unnoble person, what would he think in this situation?
By comparing them, you will find that Mu Zhengguang's psychological dynamics are normal. It is impossible for two people who love each other to have no thoughts at all in that situation.

Paragraph 3: His heart was pounding and he stared at her intently, his eyes full of attachment and admiration.

Paragraph 4: It’s not that you want to protect yourself as it seems, but that you want to protect me.

Paragraph 5: Consider the other person, where does temptation come from in the midst of love?
Xu Ying believes that Mu Zhengguang is smart, gentle, considerate and understanding, which is indeed the case.

Now that we have analyzed the psychological description, let’s look at the language description.

The language description is also relatively long and is divided into three parts.

Part 1: The conversation after Xu Yingze returned to the living room. It started with "Hi, classmate, do I look good?" and ended with "Thank you."

Part 2: The conversation when Xu Yingze began to heal. It started with "Will it be more laborious for you to control the hourglass remotely?" and ended with "Okay, I won't leave."

Part 3: The conversation after Mu Zhengguang sat down. It started with "The first question is, why do I need to cover myself with a blanket?" and ended with "It's not a test, it's not selfish."

The first two parts will not be analyzed any more, and the third part is divided into two stages. The first stage ends with "not just a little, but a lot", and the second stage ends with "no temptation, no selfishness".

In the first stage, Mu Zhengguang did not deny his "bad ideas".

He said, "As bad as others." This is his subjective opinion, and it is a bit modest. Judging from the four aspects of evidence, Mu Zhengguang is definitely "slightly" better than others. There is a word "slightly" in the text, and Mu Zhengguang said "slightly better than others", which is also a modest statement.

Xu Yingze responded to these two sentences: "No, it's not that bad" and "Not just a little, but a lot." Xu Yingze's response shall prevail.

In the second stage, Xu Ying also said something very subjective: That being said, I did want to test you. I have my own selfish motives, sorry.

Mu Zhengguang's reply was "No temptation, no selfishness", which denied both the result and the process. What Mu Zhengguang said is the standard.

Before I knew it, I have written more than two thousand words of analysis for this chapter, and I will not go into more details about some of the smaller details.

Having said that, may some readers have this question: Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying focus on these trivial matters, is it because their relationship is not as good as you say?
There is one and only one answer: no.

If their relationship is not good, it is difficult for them to notice these "little things". Even if they notice them, they dare not speak out, let alone have a peaceful and effective communication about these "little things".

Moreover, these “small things” are not small. They are all related to values. They may not be a big deal when you don’t pay attention to them, but once you notice them, there will be problems if they are not resolved.

Chapter 59: No Past, No Regrets

This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part, which is the first few paragraphs, is Qiu Shanfu's inner monologue.

The second part describes the battle between Mu Zhengguang and Hou Menglong. I will not summarize the battle situation here. I will just say one thing here. Hou Menglong's domain radius is 450 meters, which is much larger than Li Qiuchang's domain radius. However, it is easier for Mu Zhengguang to defeat Hou Menglong than to defeat Li Qiuchang.

The main reason is that the Golden Buyao was "weakened" on Li Qiuchang, but strengthened on Hou Menglong.

Hou Menglong's memories appear in the text for a purpose, although these functions have nothing to do with the protagonist.

Graduation is a memory for Hou Menglong, but it is the future for the protagonist. It will definitely happen. Before it happens, the story will describe it from multiple aspects and perspectives until the protagonist experiences it himself.

To put it more bluntly, this chapter describes what happened when Hou Menglong graduated from high school, such as taking graduation photos and buying class uniforms, which is used to compare with the following text. In the second volume, the scenes of wearing class uniforms and taking graduation photos will appear again.

The title "No Past, No Regret" is related to Hou Menglong. Forgetting the past is called "No Past". After getting rid of the control of the golden step-shaking, he was distracted on the court, and then lost, but was satisfied, which is called "No Regret".

The end of this chapter mentions the institute and its director Zhou Xutong. The institute and its director are relatively tolerant towards medieval scholars.

------------

Chapter 60: "Flag in the Sun and Clouds"

Let me first talk about the key point. Xu Ying entered the competition with a "purpose", which is a wrong attitude. In the article, Xu Ying realized her mistake.

Mu Zhengguang's seizure of the silver key was a sudden act, and it was justifiable self-defense. Although Xu Ying's seizure of the flag could not be said to be premeditated, at least she had thought of it in advance.

However, it was not wrong for her to snatch the flag. That was a normal reaction after being seriously injured. Wei Canghao almost knocked her unconscious, so it was impossible for her not to fight back.

Mu Zhengguang's match was relatively stable, while Xu Yingze's match was relatively intense. The state of their matches corresponded to their personalities and behaviors. To be more precise, their injuries also corresponded to their personalities and behaviors.

At the end of the chapter, the roles of run clearing and run absorption are written in detail.

The operational elimination's "facts are established and cannot be changed. What happened in the past will last forever", while the existence elimination's "once cut, it can never be returned" and "once lost, it cannot be restored" are similar, except that their objectives are not exactly the same.

Xu Yingze was not calm and rational enough when fighting Qiu Shanfu, but she completely lost her rationality when fighting Wei Canghao. Qiu Shanfu lost part of his perception, which affected the operation of the asymptote. Wei Canghao not only lost his ability to operate, but also lost 40% of his asymptote.

Xu Yingze's tactics were problematic, but this was normal. She was also a "civilian" and it was impossible for her to think carefully while being seriously injured.

Moreover, this is a competition where only victory or defeat is decided, not life or death. Xu Ying did not permanently weaken her opponent from the beginning, which is the same as Mu Zhengguang.

------------

Chapter 61: Tailoring and Sewing to Show a Good Heart

This chapter describes the difference between operational absorption and existential absorption.

Absorption does not affect the appearance of the Asymptote entity, but it weakens the effect of the Asymptote. Running Absorption basically retains the effect of the Asymptote, but the entity is very different. Corresponding examples are Silver Key and Bamboo Thorn.

Mu Zhengguang asked Xu Yingze, "Are your injuries serious?" Xu Yingze replied, "Very serious." She did not evade, lie, or use white lies. She told the truth.

At first glance, "telling the truth" seems to be the most worry-free and easiest approach, but it is very difficult to do so.

Xu Ying accepted Mu Zhengguang's help and used the hourglass to heal her wounds. At first glance, it seemed very worry-free and easy, and she didn't have to pay anything. But this is not the case. The article clearly states that "she made the decision with difficulty."

Some readers may not understand the "difficulty" and "hardship" mentioned above. Let me tell you one reason: Xu Ying is not a selfish person.

Mu Zhengguang is not a selfish person. When he was at the first level, he would be seriously unbalanced and fall into a coma after defeating his opponent. Xu Yingze's imbalance was even more serious, but she did not fall into a coma immediately. The reason was that Mu Zhengguang helped her heal her wounds, which caused him to lose balance as well.

Both protagonists are willing to give up some interests for each other. Xu Yingze did not use her full strength in the last game of the first competition, and she gave up the victory. In this chapter, Mu Zhengguang knew that treating Xu Yingze's injuries would affect his performance on the field, but he still did it.

The second half describes the battle between Mu Zhengguang and Zhan Daohe. The battle between the two lasted less than one chapter. The content is relatively simple and no summary will be given.

Let me talk about the research institute. Original text: There is a dean and more than a dozen vice deans in the research institute, all of whom are at the level of ancients.

Let's talk about Dean Zhou Xutong. Intercepting and decomposing shells and exerting resistance on people are part of his abilities.

------------

Chapter 62: The Duel between Elf Kings

The previous chapters wrote about Qi Wenjing’s personal experience and how he obtained Sorenson’s power. In this chapter, Qi Wenjing will be used.

After reading this chapter, I believe everyone has a feeling: Mu Zhengguang fought against Zhan Daohe, although he took advantage of the situation, he used his real ability. And Xu Ying fought against Qi Wenjing, not only did she take advantage of the situation, but she also had to let Qi Wenjing show mercy in order to win.

Regarding the battle between Xu Yingze and Qi Wenjing, one thing needs to be clarified: Puni is stronger than Sorenson, but this does not mean that there is a restraining relationship between Puni and Sorenson, nor does it mean that Puni portrayed by Xu Yingze is stronger than Sorenson portrayed by Qi Wenjing.

The article says that Silence is equivalent to nine times the power of Aurora, but it doesn't say where this number comes from. According to the game settings, the power of Aurora is 60, and the power of Silence is 125. 125 is 60 times 2.08, and the cube of this value is approximately equal to 9.

This chapter also shows that the hospital and the dean are relatively tolerant of medieval people.

Although Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying were always on guard against the organizer of the competition (that is, the research institute), the research institute did not pose any threat to the two protagonists.

------------

Chapter 63: Twenty-second consecutive victory

Su Tao appeared again, and not only Guo Qiwei couldn't beat him, but Mu Zhengguang couldn't beat him either.

Let's recall, who was the best in the world in the first competition? It was Zhao Tianyu. The second? Su Tao. The third? Qing Fuyu.

Qing Fuyu is an ancient being. Excluding luck, the people ahead of her must also be ancient people. At this point in the plot, the names of ancient people began to appear frequently.

Chapter 61 states that "There are a total of eighteen games in the eighth round of the finals, sixteen of which are between Ancients and Medievals, and only two are between Medievals and Ancients." So by the ninth round, there are nine games and eighteen contestants, sixteen Ancients and two Medievals (it is assumed that in the second modeling competition, Medievals could not defeat the Ancients).

Su Tao defeated Mu Zhengguang without expanding the asymptotic domain. In the fourth chapter, it is written that "expanding the asymptotic domain will make the operation of the asymptotic line easier." From this, we can see that the ancients have an absolute advantage over the ancients (when Xu Yingze fought against Qing Fuyu, Qing Fuyu's asymptotic domain did not cover the entire field. At that time, the advantage of the ancients was not obvious, and Xu Yingze was able to win).

The second half of the chapter is about some trivial things, such as using your own asymptotes when playing cards, which is where existential notation comes in. Like existential removal, existential notation has many uses.

The two protagonists discussed trivial matters, such as games, meetings, and extra points.

The first volume has not yet ended, but the dispute between the two protagonists on the field has ended here. Let’s take a look back.

Chapters 52 and 53 describe Mu Zhengguang's first round of competition, where Mu Zhengguang competes against Li Qiuchang, a recent ancient.

Chapters 54 to 57 describe Xu Yingze's first round of competition, where Xu Yingze competes against Qiu Shanfu. Qiu Shanfu is not as good as Jiang Yiheng.

Chapter 59, Mu Zhengguang's fifth round match, Mu Zhengguang vs. Hou Menglong. Hou Menglong is a medieval warrior.

Chapter 60, Xu Yingze's seventh round of competition, Xu Yingze versus Wei Canghao.

Chapter 61, Mu Zhengguang's eighth round, Mu Zhengguang vs. Zhan Daohe. Zhan Daohe is an extremely dangerous ancient person.

Chapter 62, Xu Yingze's eighth round, Xu Yingze vs. Qi Wenjing. Qi Wenjing is a medieval person.

Chapter 63, the ninth round, Mu Zhengguang vs. Su Tao, Xu Ying vs. Yu Qingchi. Su Tao and Yu Qingchi are both ancients.

Excluding Chapter 58, which is the main battleground of the two protagonists, and Chapter 63, which only uses more than 100 words to describe the battle, there are a total of ten chapters describing the finals of the Second Modeling Contest. The finals of the First Modeling Contest lasted from Chapter 26 to Chapter 34, which only took nine chapters.

(End of this chapter)
