Chapter 60: This is nonsense

  Wow, after the usage count changed from indefinite to pseudo-infinite, its value directly increased by 25 times!! I calculated the original value of this high-energy crystal when I first gave it to him, and now look at its current value... what a great feeling!

  After being shocked, Jiǔ Mìng's mood was almost the same as the last sentence of that note: Why! Why does this kind of characteristic appear on this piece of trash!!!

  His own super-energy crystal's pseudo-infinite property can't compare to this! The super-energy crystal recovers energy on the premise that its internal energy has not been completely consumed. Although the stored energy is vast, it's difficult to deplete it, but it can be imagined that the less energy stored inside the super-energy crystal, the longer the recovery cycle will be! Once the internal energy is gone, that thing is thoroughly scrapped.

  But this, as long as it's not damaged, even if the internal energy is exhausted, it doesn't matter, as long as 14 days can be restored to its original state. The pseudo-infinite property also has a difference, and there is no doubt that this low-level high-energy crystal is in the top rank.

  It's just like that useless but lovable mobile phone! A chicken rib that makes you love and hate it at the same time.

  A low-grade high-energy crystal's internal energy storage is a lot for ordinary people, but for the not-so-ordinary, it's just that. After all, it's a low-grade product. If you switch to a high-grade one, this thing is already worth a city.

  But no matter how I look at this 14-day recovery cycle, it just feels... so weird.

  Isn't it possible that after being worn by Ah Xū for over 15,000 cycles of reincarnation, this thing has undergone some kind of abnormal change?

  Looking at Jiǔ Mìng's silent expression, ā Xū slightly narrowed his eyes. Could it be that this thing has some special place? Ah ha, it shouldn't be possible, after all, it was something Jiǔ Mìng had casually picked up from one side, how could it possibly have a special place?

  Jiǔ Mìng returned the high-energy crystal to ā Xū, "You're lucky, take it as a family heirloom according to your idea, as long as you don't lose or break it, this is enough for you to pass down until the surname 'ā' is destroyed."

  A Hua's eyebrows twitched, "I'm not surnamed 'A'! This thing is very valuable?"

  "It's a big deal!" Jiǔ Mìng nodded his head with certainty, "A one-in-a-billion mutation, if you sell it, not only will you regret it for the rest of your life, but I'll also be tempted to beat you up. Don't look at me, even though it's very valuable, to someone like you, an ordinary person, this thing is just a waste, no different from a +15 level 1 white equipment toy in a game. Unless it gets upgraded several major levels, then I'll definitely snatch it."

  "What you said is too straightforward!" Ah Xū carefully examined the thing in his hand, even putting it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, but still couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. "You're not trying to deceive me, are you? You can just glance at it and tell that this thing has undergone 'mutation'?"

  Jiǔ Mìng looked at him with disdain, "Do I need to tell you about my hidden divine appraiser identity? I'm hungry, hurry up and go buy something!"

  "It's been so long... you!?" It was Haruhi Suzumiya, who at this time saw Kyon carrying that huge amount of food that could absolutely kill someone and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "Can you finish it all?"

  "Of course!"

  Listening to Jiǔ Mìng's words with absolute confidence, ā Xū suddenly revealed a tragic expression as if he had lost his parents and money. He didn't doubt Jiǔ Mìng's words; previously, he had already finished off almost the same amount of food...

  How come you're still alive after eating so much?!

  Lit a firework, sat on the ground with nine lives watching the sky filled with blooming fireworks, smiled lightly, stuck the remaining fireworks into the ground, turned his head to look at that huge pile of food that filled him with 'hunger', not feeling full for a long time was really great!

  "Give me one." Haruhi Suzumiya walked over and directly took the fork from Kyouya's hand, spearing a large ball of food. It was the same kind that she had made Kyouya eat not long ago, which was apparently called Takoyaki.

  "Hey, this fork is one I've used..."

  "Doesn't matter? I don't mind using a haunted one like this."

  Fine, since everyone said so, Kuyou shrugged and handed the remaining grilled octopus to Haruhi Suzumiya.

  She didn't mince words either. She was a bit tired from playing earlier, so eating something would be fine too. "Hm, can you fly? Since you're a ghost, you should be able to float around, right?"

  "What's the point of asking? I really can't fly."

  "Really? Then how high can you jump?"

  "If you try hard... maybe several dozen meters."

  "Huh!?!" Haruhi Suzumiya, who had been slightly disappointed, immediately broke into a smile. "This works too! Don't eat yet, come on, let's go try out this new game."

  What's called a new way of playing is that Haruhi Suzumiya thinks it's not cool to just watch those projectile fireworks, even if they've come up with many variations. Now the game is for Kyon to bring a bunch of handheld firework launchers... and set them off in the sky.

  You really can think of it!

  "Lighting them all up in the air at the same time? That's a bit more challenging!" Looking at the large handful of fireworks in his hand, and then glancing at the lighter in his other hand, Jiǔ Mìng didn't think for a moment that the flame from the lighter could ignite the entire handful of fireworks in an instant, unless he had a flamethrower.

  "Alright, let's get started then. Just remember to aim for the river over there, and if a fire breaks out, you're responsible." Haruhi Suzumiya nodded enthusiastically, a smile spreading across her face as she urged, "Come on, hurry up!"

  "What a hassle." He shook his head, and a large handful of fireworks ignited at the same time, how dazzling? Not to mention that they were all gathered together, Jiǔ Mìng didn't doubt that once this large handful of fireworks burned to their strongest point, their power would absolutely surpass... Shouldn't be more powerful than a flamethrower, right?

  In the instant it ignited, amidst Haruhi's and Koizumi's gasps of amazement, Mikuru's legs bent slightly, like a spring, and instantly left the ground, creating a moderate gust of wind around her.

  "This is incredible!" Kosen no Itsuki wiped the sweat from his forehead, apart from being in a closed space, he was just an ordinary person in reality. Seeing the strength of the Nine Lives, it was so easy for him to jump this high, even in a closed space...it seemed like he couldn't win against him either.

  "Wow, how high did it jump?" Haruhi Suzumiya looked up and gazed around, the handful of fireworks in Mikuru's hand becoming the best signal source.

  "The predicted maximum height is seventy-seven meters." Long Gate Hikaru quickly gave an answer after glancing up.

  "Ah ah! Indeed, members of SOS Brigade shouldn't be ordinary!"

  You're worried about the wrong thing, shouldn't you ask Huan Xi how he managed to jump so high instead? Ah Xū sighed and said, honestly, this kind of jumping ability... is already monstrous!

  What's the big difference between humans and non-humans?

  The fireworks that had been burning to their peak in the sky were scattered from Jiǔ Mìng's hands, and even though he had thrown them out with great care, they only barely formed a somewhat irregular giant circle before the scattered fireworks began to fall freely like Jiǔ Mìng.

  "Is this the legendary Water Float that has been lost for ages?" Jiǔ Mìng also fell down, landed on the water, but didn't sink, instead standing eerily on the surface. Seeing this scene, Liáng Gōng Chūn Rì suddenly shouted out loud, "The kind from martial arts novels?"

  "You're overthinking it, and it's been lost for a long time?" Jiǔ Mìng lifted his foot, and under his feet was a row of wooden sticks that had been burned by firecrackers... "It's just light in weight."

  "You actually deceived my emotions, come on! It has to be more magnificent than the one you threw earlier!" Feeling that her dignity as a team leader was damaged, Haruhi Suzumiya directly started looking for a comeback.

  Throw it again, nothing much, just like a monkey jumping up and down... "Sorry, this is indeed water floating..."

  "I knew I couldn't have been mistaken, how did you manage that?" The nine lives reached the shore, and Haruhi Suzumiya's eyes sparkled as she stared at them, "A few wooden signs can't possibly support the weight of those clothes, can they?!"

  "Indeed, the genius girl Haruhi Suzumiya is sharp-eyed and the Brigade Chief is majestic and overbearing." I feel like my face is flushing just by saying it, and Kuyou unknowingly tilted her head to one side.

  "Hmm hmm." With a rather pleasant hum, Haruhi Suzumiya waved her hand, "I'll forgive you for now, so explain the principle."

  "Do you want to learn?"

  "Are you teaching me?"

  "Cough, that is, Spring Day your weight..."

  "What do you want to achieve by asking such a forbidden question?"

  Jiǔ Mìng pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, as if thinking of specific descriptive language. Those watching from the side, ā Xū and the others, all had some expectations.

  "It's actually quite simple, just mobilize the internal force throughout your body to your feet and release it like a jet nozzle, the resulting counterforce will allow you to stand on the water surface! Of course, if you can't control it well, it's also normal to throw yourself out directly."

  "Is this a serious nonsense?" Anyway, Ah Xū, who still had some expectations, felt that his IQ lower limit was severely challenged. Who would believe this!!

  “……”

  “……”

  "Although it sounds right on the surface, however... deceiving our commander is a capital offense!"

  "Cough, actually it's like this." After a light cough, Jiǔ Mìng continued, "Originally didn't want to discourage your enthusiasm, okay, the real situation is that by controlling the muscles in the feet, a high-speed stomping effect invisible to the naked eye is produced. The buoyancy generated from stomping on water can make people float up, of course I'm light enough, so the requirements are much lower!"

  Haruhi Suzumiya pinched Kyon's arm, like a female delinquent, and her hand slid up his arm. "Although it feels more reliable this way, do you have any meat? It feels tender to the touch."

  "It's not the key point, anyway, if you can do what I said, then it will be fine!"

  "I always feel like your casual tone is teasing people."

  Did you actually guess it? Jiǔ Mìng slightly glanced at ā Xū, of course not acknowledging his words. "It's easy to talk about, but have you guys never heard the saying 'talking is easy, doing is hard'?"

  "Well then, let's just go ahead and play bungee jumping too!" Knowing that "water floating" was impossible, Haruhi Suzumiya immediately thought of a new idea.

  "I refuse, I ate too much just now, I'm a bit tired! Need to rest." Jiǔ Mìng suddenly shook his head.

  "Then I'll reject your rejection!"
