Du Gang originally decided to find an unoccupied and quiet spot to study the Ancient God system he had just obtained. But after hearing his classmate’s scream, he didn’t hurriedly leave, but stopped to look at his phone instead.
<<Explorer II has finally reached the edge of the solar system, but something shocking has happened…>>
<<Explorer II had been accelerating at third cosmic velocity, but when it was about to leave the solar system, it stopped!>>
<<After research, a layer of film was found at the edge of the solar system. Like a greenhouse, the film has the entire solar system wrapped…>>
Du Gang was stunned!
“We are all captive-bred?!” a student shouted out.
Everyone in the classroom went silent, apparently bewildered by this news.
Du Gang quickly opened the news page and indeed, the top 10 news headlines were all related to the edge of the solar system.
He clicked on the headlines and scrutinized them one by one.
Famous astronomer: “At the edge of our solar system, as early as half a century ago, a layer of film was observed to exist. After research, we found that the film was formed by the convergence of solar wind and cosmic wind…”
Moderator: “So what is the reason that Explorer II stopped? Is it the wind? Or was Explorer II caught in the film?!”
Famous astronomer: “Everyone, please don’t be too pessimistic. Many forces and possibilities that can stop the Explorer II exist. Maybe it is fighting the gravitational force of the sun right now…”
Du Gang immediately clicked on the next news item after finding nothing else useful.
Los Angeles Astronomy Center: “Based on the latest observations through a special lens, we found a layer of dark matter near the point of contact between Explorer II and the edge of the solar system. But as of now, the dark matter is yet to be known…
“It cannot be picked up by the human naked eye…”
Dark matter? Du Gang frowned, not quite understanding what they meant by that.
The article provided an accompanying picture that showcased a small, distant view, apparently taken with an astronomical telescope. The professionals might be able to understand the picture, but Du Gang squinted and didn’t find any dark matter. The universe in the picture was just a pitch-black scene to him…
However, he didn’t dwell on it, but instantly clicked on the next headline instead.
“As a matter of fact, the sun has always protected us. The reason why we humans have evolved into the overlords of Earth is all thanks to the layer of film at the edge of the solar system that blocks out 99 percent of the dangers in the universe…
“This time, Explorer II has reached the edge of the solar system and is likely to open a Pandora’s box that allows creatures from outside the solar system to discover us…”
At that moment, after a short period of silence, all the students in class 1-8 of the senior high school went into a frenzy.
“What. The. F*ck?”
“Are they serious?!”
“That will be sick!”
They were just a bunch of people giggling and laughing about the destruction of the world.
At this age, students were bored with classes every day, and couldn’t wait for something to happen.
“What do you guys think? Will we have a school vacation when that happens?”
Some students were a little excited as they screamed loudly in the class.
The people present, including Du Gang, were thrilled. A student could never have enough vacation.
Du Gang looked through a few other news items and found nothing new, so he stood up and walked toward the classroom door.
“Hey, Du Gang, where are you going?” In the class, a boy with pimples asked.
He was Du Gang’s buddy, Ma Li.
“Toilet!” Du Gang replied. In fact, Du Gang didn’t tell him the truth. After giving a perfunctory response, he ran out of the classroom.
There were 10 minutes before the next class. He was too curious to check out what that Ancient God System in his mind was.
There was a laboratory building under construction in Experimental High School. The structure had been built, but was still lacking refurbishment. It was a nice and quiet place with no one to disturb him.
Du Gang arrived at the laboratory building and sized up the place. It was silent, so there shouldn’t be anyone around.
He walked straight into one of the empty rooms.
“Transform!” As soon as he entered the room, he shouted.
Soon after, Du Gang discovered that the things around him became ‘shorter’ in a flash.
Bang!
Before he realized what happened, his head hit the ceiling.
At the same time, the school uniform he was wearing broke apart all of a sudden.
“Ouch!”
Du Gang subconsciously shouted and instantly crouched down with his head tilted.
The moment he squatted down, a string of information appeared in his mind.
[Du Gang
First Order Ancient God
Current Status: Transformed
Available time: 00:09:59]
Nine minutes and 59 seconds, and the number was diminishing simultaneously with time.
The description was clear at a glance, and Du Gang instantly comprehended it.
He had possessed the ability to transform himself!
He was instantly elated. He bent over slightly and stood up a little, going to the door to compare his height. The whole door frame just reached the level of his waist.
After some calculation, Du Gang was exhilarated. “I’m more than three meters tall now?!”
The door frame had a height of two meters and only reached his waist. It also meant his current height was at least three meters.
After taking a look at the rest of his body, be it his arms, fingers, or other various details, all seemed to be enlarged in equal proportion.
Du Gang looked at his palm, which had almost doubled in size, and struck the wall with it.
Bang!
After a loud bang, a particularly-wide print of his palm appeared on the concrete wall. It was a full two centimeters deep and as long as one saw it, one would know that it wasn’t a print left behind by a normal human.
“Cr*p!”
Du Gang looked at his hand and felt incredible. He didn’t feel a trace of pain, albeit leaving an imprint on the wall.
“Am I too strong or is this wall made of bean curd?”
Although that was what he commented, he knew the answer deep down. His strength had greatly increased. Otherwise, if it were bean curd, it would still be impossible for him to leave such a deep mark.
At that moment, the countdown in the mind became eight minutes. He pondered quickly and eventually decided to deal with it.
He couldn’t leave the palm print on the wall—it would be bad if someone found out.
He reached out his hand again and “molded” the print on the wall.
After his efforts, the palm print on the wall was gone, only to have an irregular circle in its place.
At that moment…
Ring~~~
A high-pitch ringing sounded. It was the bell for class.
“Restore!”
Du Gang subconsciously shouted and immediately after, his body shrunk to its previous size of 1.75 meters.
He was about to run back to the classroom when he suddenly stumbled to the ground.
When he looked down, his shoes, which used to fit him perfectly, had been torn apart.
Upon taking a closer look, except for his stretchy pair of underwear that was still intact, his school uniform had also been ripped into strips, not to mention his shoes…
“I’m done for…” Du Gang groaned.
