1031: Chapter 1024: Comparison Is the Thief of Joy 1031: Chapter 1024: Comparison Is the Thief of Joy Outside the laboratory on the first underground level of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
Research personnel like Mr.
Li, dedicated to the study of Space Rings, hadn’t taken a step away from this place in two days; they had even taken care of all their eating, drinking, and bodily needs right outside the lab.
Meanwhile, Shen Jingwu, Lin Kangsheng, Shen Mingxuan, and Lin Xinyi, of course, weren’t as obsessed as these scientific eccentrics.
However, they too arrived outside the lab early every morning and only headed to sleep around eight or nine in the evening.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, these four gathered together outside the lab.
The ordinarily-looking Xiao Liyuan, after a deep yawn, said, “Mingxuan, do you think Chenfeng can really create a Space Ring?
If we had a Space Ring, our journey to the Desert of Death would be much easier.”
The cold and beautiful Lin Xinyi said icily, “I doubt that Ye Chenfeng can create a Space Ring.
Mr.
Li and his team have been researching it for ten years, and even they haven’t succeeded.
How could Ye Chenfeng possibly make one?
Besides, with Ye Chenfeng’s already freakish strength, it’s unlikely he’d excel in the realm of science as well.”
Shen Mingxuan nodded and responded, “Xin Yi, you make a good point, but Chenfeng isn’t someone whose actions can be predicted with ordinary logic.
Haven’t we seen enough miracles from him already?”
Cheng Dahhu eagerly agreed, “Mingxuan is right; I, Cheng Dahhu, believe that Chenfeng can create the Space Ring.”
On the other side.
After waiting for a full two days, Mr.
Li and the team of research personnel were nearing the end of their patience.
Frowning, Mr.
Li spoke to Shen Jingwu, “Alliance Hierarch, it’s been two days already, why hasn’t the kid come out yet?
Are we really going to wait until he wastes all the materials needed for creating a Space Ring?”
“Yeah!
Alliance Hierarch, Vice Alliance Hierarch, we can’t keep waiting here.
This kid is just messing around in the lab.”
“Alliance Hierarch, Vice Alliance Hierarch, have that kid roll out of the lab immediately; he doesn’t deserve to be in there.”
…
As Mr.
Li showed his dissatisfaction, the rest of the research personnel also voiced their complaints.
While Shen Jingwu and Lin Kangsheng were furrowing their brows, the metallic door of the lab opened from the inside.
Ye Chenfeng, his hair disheveled and his clothes stained with various colors, walked out from the lab, wearing a seemingly ordinary deep blue ring on the index finger of his left hand.
The moment Ye Chenfeng stepped out of the lab, all eyes present fixated on him.
Mr.
Li asked gruffly, “Kid, did you manage to create the Space Ring?”
“Mr.
Li, you’re just wasting your breath asking that.
If this kid could really make a Space Ring, I’ll put my underwear on my head.”
“Yeah, right, if Space Rings were so easy to manufacture, then we may as well go eat shit.”
…
The gathered research personnel were full of mocking sneers towards Ye Chenfeng.
However, Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained undisturbed, and his spirits were quite high.
After all, having a Space Ring would be incredibly convenient for him.
Ye Chenfeng raised his left hand and declared, “This blue ring I’m wearing is the successfully manufactured Space Ring.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned dead silent, but the quiet lasted only briefly.
After a short pause, the researchers, including Mr.
Li, displayed scornful expressions.
One of the research personnel scoffed, “Kid, you say the ring on your hand is a Space Ring, and it’s just supposed to be a Space Ring?”
As Li Lao and the others had been staying outside the laboratory for the past two days, there were now many tables and chairs arranged outside.
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fell to a small stool on the ground, and he released a trickle of his Soul Force to draw the little stool towards him.
Right before it reached Ye Chenfeng’s Space Ring, the stool vanished from everyone’s sight in a flash.
Ye Chenfeng casually said, “Now you should believe I have created a Space Ring, right?”
The stool had disappeared in an instant right before Ye Chenfeng, and given that he was dressed in rather thin clothes, it was impossible for the stool to be hidden on him.
So, the only explanation was that Ye Chenfeng had truly created a Space Ring?
After figuring this out in their minds, Li Lao and the group of scientific researchers were instantly speechless.
Their eyes were wide with disbelief, unable to fathom that Ye Chenfeng could actually make a Space Ring?
The calmest people present were probably Shen Jingwu and Lin Kangsheng.
They wore smiles that seemed to say “as expected” and walked up to Ye Chenfeng.
Shen Jingwu smiled and said, “Brother Ye, I knew you could do it.”
After being stunned for a good while, Li Lao, his face flushed with excitement, grabbed Ye Chenfeng’s arm and asked, “How big is the space inside the Space Ring you’ve created?”
Originally, Li Lao and the others had estimated that it would take them five years to create a Space Ring, and even if they could craft one after five years, they presumed the space inside the ring would at most be the size of a wardrobe.
Somewhat embarrassed, Ye Chenfeng scratched his head and, seeing his expression, Li Lao and the others finally let out a sigh of relief.
Li Lao’s attitude towards Ye Chenfeng had changed completely as he consoled, “Young man, the mere fact that you could create a Space Ring proves your superiority.
I assume the space inside the ring is about the size of a storage box, right?”
Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, “It’s the size of a room.
If it weren’t for the fact that the materials were running out and I couldn’t afford another failure, maybe if I tried a few more times, the space inside the ring could have been even bigger.”
The size of a room?
Li Lao and all the researchers present had their expressions freeze in an instant.
Trembling, Li Lao asked, “Young man, you aren’t deceiving me, are you?”
Ye Chenfeng took off the Space Ring from his finger and handed it to Li Lao, saying, “Why don’t you see for yourself?
However, I’ve infused my Soul Force into this Space Ring, so only I can use it.
You can only check the size of the space inside.”
Li Lao’s hands shook as he took the blue Space Ring.
When he infused his Soul Force into it and saw that the space inside was indeed the size of a room, recalling how he had judged Ye Chenfeng before, his face turned beet red.
After giving the ring back to Ye Chenfeng, he bowed deeply to him and said, “The old man was shortsighted, never imagining that there could be a genius like you in this world.”
Seeing Li Lao’s gesture, the other researchers realized that Ye Chenfeng’s Space Ring must truly be the size of a room.
A researcher who had been mocking Ye Chenfeng earlier spoke in dismay, “We studied for ten years and still couldn’t produce a Space Ring.
It seems we might as well eat shit.”
Ye Chenfeng, not one to harbor petty thoughts, said to Li Lao, “Li Lao, I’ve nearly exhausted the lab’s materials, but I will teach you the specific process to create a Space Ring.
Once you gather more materials next time, you should be able to make one, too.”
On hearing this, Li Lao, who had been flushing with embarrassment, was suddenly filled with excitement and said, “Young man, no, teacher, you are our teacher.
Please continue to instruct us, your students, in the future.”
Cheng Dahhu, standing by, witnessed the scene and said with a silly laugh, “Chenfeng is just awesome!”
Xiao Liyuan also added, “Comparing ourselves to others can really kill you.
Do you guys think there’s anything Chenfeng isn’t good at?
Why do I feel like we’re always just background actors when we’re with him?”
Shen Mingxuan nodded in agreement and said, “Just you watch!
I’m more and more convinced that Ye Chenfeng’s achievements will be beyond our reach in the future.
He isn’t someone we can compare ourselves to.”
With a cold and exquisite demeanor, Lin Xinyi was biting her lip lightly.
Ever since Ye Chenfeng had seen her naked in the bathroom, and after the ambiguous treatment they had in the Poison Venerable’s dungeon in Nia Country, she had developed indescribable feelings for Ye Chenfeng.
