Chapter 4: Ten-Thousandfold Godspeed!
Su Xin revealed an expression of "as expected."
"Just as I guessed before, my own body and the outside world are essentially two distinct space-times; the laws of physics simply cannot be synchronized."
"Therefore, my perception is centered on my own space-time, while the reactions of the outside world are centered on the outside space-time."
"If the kinetic energy of my clap is one, the reaction force I endure is one."
"In a state of tenfold acceleration, the speed I present to the outside world increases tenfold, so the kinetic energy the outside world bears is one hundred."
"In other words, at tenfold acceleration, the kinetic energy I release can be amplified a hundredfold; at hundredfold acceleration, the kinetic energy I release can be amplified ten-thousandfold!"
"And no matter how many times the kinetic energy is amplified, the reaction force I endure always remains normal."
Thinking of this, Su Xin could not help but gasp.
Although he had not yet calculated the exact limit of his ability, judging from the situation where time and space were nearly frozen at his limit, the multiplier was certainly staggering.
If his limit was ten-thousandfold acceleration, then the released kinetic energy would be enough to be amplified one hundred million times.
A moment's thought revealed how terrifying the lethality would be: a light punch against a person would be enough to blast them into a mist of blood, and a full-force punch against the ground would likely trigger a small earthquake.
"Then, where does the extra kinetic energy come from?"
A doubt suddenly popped into Su Xin's mind.
But after concentrating and thinking for a moment, he finally shook his head with a wry smile.
"Even Time Acceleration has appeared, so what's so strange about energy not being conserved?"
He set this question aside for now and began to think about another, more pressing issue—
What exactly is the limit of Time Acceleration?
However, this was somewhat difficult to test.
After all, if he operated his phone in a state of extreme acceleration, he would likely destroy it directly, and he dared not take that risk.
Furthermore, the limit of a phone's timer is a centisecond, which is one-hundredth of a second, and his acceleration limit was clearly more than one hundred times.
At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a few flies hovering over a trash can by the side of the road.
He was currently maintaining tenfold speed, yet he still could not clearly see the movement of the flies' wings.
"I remember the frequency of a fly's wing beats is about 200 times per second, which is once every 5 milliseconds."
A thought stirred in Su Xin's heart.
After taking a deep breath, he directly raised his own Time Acceleration multiplier to the limit.
Instantly, all things stood still.
He held his breath and focused, staring at one of the flies, silently keeping time in his heart.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."
When his face turned red from holding his breath and he was almost unable to hold on any longer, he finally saw the fly complete one full wing beat.
And the time he counted silently was 52 seconds.
Considering that his timing had errors and the fly's wing-beat frequency was not fixed, he rounded to the integer value and concluded that his own acceleration limit was—
Ten thousand times!
Even though he had guessed it earlier, when he truly reached this conclusion, Su Xin was still stunned by his own powerful ability.
After deactivating the Time Acceleration state, he panted heavily, but his face was filled with excitement.
Ten-thousandfold Time Acceleration!
This meant that one second for an ordinary person was a full ten thousand seconds for Su Xin, or 2.78 hours!
And one minute for an ordinary person was a full 167 hours for him, nearly a week without sleep or rest!
Due to the issue of breathing, although he could not currently sustain it for that long, he still felt this ability was explosively strong.
Especially after solving issues like breathing in the future, it could be called a god-like ability.
Not to mention the one-hundred-million-fold explosive power increase at the limit of acceleration, the ten-thousandfold reaction ability alone was enough to make him ignore the vast majority of dangers.
Safety is more important than anything else.
This point alone made him incredibly satisfied with this ability.
"Ten-thousandfold Time Acceleration, the level of mental activity seems to be a matching multiplier as well, which also means that in the state of extreme acceleration, I am ten thousand times smarter than an ordinary person; I can tentatively call this god-like ability Godspeed."
"God-like speed."
"God-like wisdom."
Su Xin grinned and laughed silently.
After calming his breathing, he re-entered the twofold speed state, walking while thinking about how to apply this magical ability.
Due to the limitation of breathing, he was temporarily unable to maintain extreme acceleration for long, which greatly limited the possibility of him becoming a Flash.
Of course, he had no interest in that anyway.
Having grown up in a peaceful era, the first thing he thought of was using this ability to make money.
After all, in a peaceful era, money is one of the most important factors in measuring a person's status.
Moreover, he was thinking about using biological technology in the future to completely solve the breathing problem, and even the problem of physical strength, so he could fully exert the limit of his Godspeed Ability.
These studies all required money.
"If I don't want to use my brain, I could go to a production line and screw in bolts; maintaining twofold speed, earning over ten thousand a month should be very easy."
"But the highest efficiency and greatest potential lies in starting a technology company, using the Super Intelligence in the Godspeed state to learn and research; I could definitely become a top-tier scientist."
"And in the technology industry, without considering technical levels, the lowest cost and fastest return is undoubtedly the software industry."
"Therefore, I must learn programming first!"
Su Xin's eyes lit up, and he had a goal in his heart.
Soon, he returned to his rented room.
Opening the door, a burst of fragrance immediately entered his nostrils, making his appetite soar.
"Mom, I'm home!"
In the kitchen, a middle-aged woman in simple clothing responded, brought out two bowls of rice, placed them on the dining table, and smiled kindly:
"Xiaoxin, sit down and eat."
"Alright, thanks Mom."
"Silly boy, what are you thanking me for?"
Su Xin picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
His family's financial situation was not very good, even somewhat impoverished, but his parents were always generous toward him and tried their best to accommodate him in many things.
Of course, he also lived up to their expectations; since elementary school, his grades had basically never left the top ten in his grade, and his parents did not need to worry much about his daily life.
The philosophy he had accepted since childhood was—knowledge changes destiny.
Therefore, he had always studied very diligently, all for the sake of letting his family live a better life.
It was also because of this that after he gained the Godspeed Ability, he still thought first of using the ability to enrich himself and using knowledge to change his own destiny, rather than going out to commit crimes.
Halfway through the meal, Su Xin suddenly spoke up:
"Mom, when I have time, I want to go to the library to self-study software programming."
"Programming?"
His mother Zhang Chunhua paused, then urged: "I've heard it's a good trend, though I don't understand it much myself. You can learn it when you have time, but don't let it interfere with your studies; the most important thing for you right now is the college entrance examination."
"I understand, I'm confident about the college entrance examination and won't let it interfere. It's just that to self-study programming, I need to go to the city library and take the bus back and forth."
"Then I'll give you an extra twenty yuan each month; if you get hungry, remember to buy something to eat."
"Alright, thanks Mom."
Su Xin chuckled.
His monthly allowance was only fifty yuan; after all, he didn't have to buy his three daily meals, and at most he only occasionally bought some snacks and water, so it was enough.
Moreover, even if he went to the library, he could only go once every Sunday, four round trips a month, so an extra twenty yuan was more than enough.
As for the fact that software programming required a computer to practice, that would have to be considered later.
