Chapter 4: First Time Absorbing Electricity
Why did he travel to the Marvel Universe?
Why was he bound to a Mutated Reality Stone stronger than the original Marvel Universe?
Why him and not someone else?
Is it controlled by an unknown organization or a powerful being?
Qi Jun has questions but decides to skip over them.
Qi Jun is curious, but he also knows that he may not get answers anytime soon, even before he can leave the Marvel Universe.
So why fret over these questions?
Qi Jun is not one to dwell excessively on problems, nor does he think he's the reincarnation of some powerful figure destined for greatness.
Is there an organization or a powerful being using him for an experiment?
In any case, Qi Jun knows that he just needs to live his life.
No matter what lies behind it, as long as everything goes smoothly, freely, and without regrets, that's enough!
...
Bound to Qi Jun, the upgraded Mutated Reality Stone, while automatically harmonizing with the source of the Marvel Universe, does not actively empower Qi Jun.
A super-being may have set limits, or this upgraded Mutated of Reality Stone is meant to be used this way.
Although Qi Jun is not drained of life force, he still needs to actively provide energy to achieve various goals through the Mutated Reality Stone.
It's like a barter rule: providing enough energy will help you achieve any feasible idea!
The energy Qi Jun needs to provide can come from his efforts, active absorption, or even energy actively absorbed by the [Mutated Stone].
[Mutated Stone], once bound to Qi Jun, specifically created a space to store the energy Qi Jun actively absorbs, although the [Mutated Stone] takes a share, currently split fifty-fifty.
[Note: Let's call the upgraded Mutated Reality Stone [Mutated Stone] from now on; the full name needs to be more aesthetically pleasing, and readers might think the author is just padding the word count.]
Qi Jun finds this
Acceptable.
After all, as Qi Jun grows stronger, his control over the [Mutated Stone] will increase. His share of the split will naturally rise until it ultimately belongs entirely to him, and the [Mutated Stone] will no longer be stingy.
No doubt, the [Mutated Stone] is only bound to Qi Jun and not fully controlled by him; otherwise, Qi Jun could simply think it and obliterate the Sunset Purple Sweet Potato—wouldn't that be too easy?
...
Knowing how to use the [Mutated Stone], Qi Jun wants to try it out.
He looks around and finds that besides the electrical outlets, there is no other energy source to absorb in this room.
"But—"
"Directly touching the outlet, could I not be electrocuted?"
Although he knows the [Mutated Stone] is powerful and will protect him from being killed by the voltage of a mere residential circuit, Qi Jun, who has never done something this crazy before, still can't help feeling nervous.
'This—'
'If I get electrocuted, I might become the most ridiculous transmigrator ever!'
Sss~~
Huff~~~
He takes a deep breath.
'Forget it, forget it.'
'Dead men face the sky, alive for ten thousand years.'
'If I can't even do this, how can I become a strong person? How can I face the Sunset Purple Sweet Potato?'
Fortunately, Qi Jun's ruthless streak from scrabbling in society before his transmigration is ignited, and although he's still somewhat nervous, he's not planning to back down.
After searching and flipping around, Qi Jun reluctantly discovers that the room is too damn clean—why can't he even find a teaspoon?
There is no choice. In the end, Qi Jun has to remove the earpick and fold the scissors attached to his keychain.
Holding the earpick in one hand and the scissors in the other, after hesitating for a moment…
With determination, Qi Jun fiercely pushed the tips of the earpick and the small scissors into the socket.
Zzzzz~~~
As expected, the sound of electricity surged violently.
But!
Qi Jun found that he was not burned to a crisp.
Moreover, the buzzing sound of the current only lasted a moment when he first inserted the tools into the socket and then quickly subsided.
At the same time, the electricity meter of the small hotel began to spin wildly, its speed ensuring that the hotel owner would faint in despair if he saw it.
But Qi Jun didn't feel any pain. Instead, through his hands, a buzzing and tingling sensation spread throughout his body, a feeling even more thrilling than comforting the poorly clad-ladies at the shelter!
It was truly incredibly exhilarating!
Qi Jun thought, let this thrilling sensation come even more intensely!
Zzz~~~
Boom!!!
As if controlled by his thoughts, as soon as Qi Jun's idea flashed through his mind, he felt a strong burst of stimulation.
But!
Boom!!!
Outside the window, a transformer not far away exploded instantly due to the sudden current overload.
The loud noise spread throughout the surrounding streets, and the bright flash illuminated the suddenly darkened neighborhood as bright as day.
Car alarms, fire alarms, and the chaotic noise of the crowd seeped through the window into Qi Jun's ears.
Just as Qi Jun, puzzled by the sudden loss of the tingling sensation, came to his senses, he approached the window and lifted a corner of the curtain to look out carefully.
Qi Jun was shocked to discover that he was the cause of all this chaos!
Qi Jun: I am so powerful!
