Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 486 - 240 Qualification Trial Application

Chen Feng had been so busy these past few days that he was almost on his feet nonstop. However, he soon realized in despair that there actually wasn't much for him to do.

Although under the guidance of Zhen Chan in the Divine Capital Criminal Law Department, a more precise Mana Eigenvalue of the criminal had been determined, even with the eigenvalue derived, they had no suspects to test.

Because there were simply no suspects.

When the Divine Capital murderer committed the first two crimes, the Criminal Law Department had grandly started by identifying a large batch of suspects based on the victims' identities. But as cases increased, these suspects had gradually been cleared of suspicion. Now, they had no suspects left to consider. Some suggested including all residents of Divine Capital as suspects and screening them one by one, but— they didn't even know how many people or who exactly lived in Divine Capital. There were too many nobles, too many house-born; many were not registered in the archives of the Immortal Alliance or the Da Lian Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed again. In the past, when the Immortal Alliance established its credibility, it left behind Divine Capital. But now, Divine Capital itself had become a malignant tumor!

Fortunately, the Divine Capital murderer and the Divine Capital nobles weren't on the same side—at least not ostensibly. The murderer's previous main targets had been the lackeys of the nobles and the riffraff of Divine Capital, somewhat diminishing the nobles' face. These past few days, they had even begun cooperating unusually with the Criminal Law Department.

However, their cooperation with the Criminal Law Department... It seemed like it was their first time collaborating with the Criminal Law Department, so the department still had to send out a large number of personnel for coordination. As a result, there was no progress in the case, and quite a bit of manpower had been wasted.

Chen Feng heaved a deep sigh. It had been nearly a month since he last did research, and he was starting to miss his Empirical Department. But...

Earlier, in front of Wang Qi, he had confidently said "just leave it to the law enforcement," and now, with no progress in the case, he was simply too ashamed to go home!

With these heavy thoughts, he pushed open the gate to his own courtyard.

But once again, things exceeded his expectations.

Chen Youjia was in immense pain, scribbling fiercely on a stack of draft papers, completely unaware of his return. Meanwhile, Wang Qi was leisurely leaning in a chair with a book in hand, greeting Chen Feng, "Hey, Boss."

Chen Feng blinked, feeling something was amiss.

Before he entered, he had sensed two moods, one extremely irritable and the other rapid yet orderly, but...

Youjia was the disordered one? Wang Qi was so calm?

This was highly abnormal, far too abnormal!

Chen Feng quietly asked Chen Youjia, "Hey Youjia, what's wrong with that guy?"

"His brain is too brilliant," Chen Youjia said in a tone both complicated and indistinct, while Wang Qi on the side shook his head in triumph, "Why bother? Why bother?"

Chen Feng didn't understand, "What are you two talking about?"

Then Chen Youjia put down his pen, his face filled with a sense of defeat, "Where am I lacking compared to you... I'm clearly the one who's been pondering deeply…"

Wang Qi jumped up from the lounge chair, put the book aside, and patted Chen Youjia's head, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Actually, I've been thinking even harder than you, you just didn't see it."

He genuinely felt a bit guilty about teasing her.

These past few weeks, Chebyshev and Feng Luoyi had been coming daily to exchange ideas, originally intending to provide guidance and teach some Mathematics. In the eyes of others, somehow these past few days, Wang Qi had been bursting with innovative ideas like a chicken blood injection—all his thoughts seemed plausible and meticulous, contributing to multiple significant papers if verified carefully. Chen Youjia thought well of herself, but comparing herself to Wang Qi over these days, her confidence was greatly shaken; even when she gained inspiration from Wang Qi's "new ideas" the previous day, she'd find the next day that her inspiration was negligible compared to Wang Qi's thought process, completely encompassed by his ideas.

In reality, even Chebyshev and Feng Luoyi were greatly surprised.

Wang Qi, however, showed no particular emotion; he was merely repeating what he remembered.

Probability theory is closely related to chaos theory, and chaos theory is tightly linked with theoretical physics. He was familiar with probability theory in his past life, but only with the aspects "related to theoretical physics," and it was merely a familiarity.

But what he was about to do required more than mere familiarity.

He even needed to master "the remaining parts," concepts of which only a few keywords lingered in his memory.

The simplest way to master a formula was to derive it again. Discussing with Chebyshev and Feng Luoyi, establishing probability theory from scratch was also his way of reviewing the mathematics. To his present self, Feng Luoyi and Chebyshev served as learning machines.

Well, to be precise, very advanced magical teaching artifacts.

However, mathematics is a subject that particularly emphasizes thinking, the most vital aspect being "ideas." Correct deduction. With knowledge surpassing the era, one could cheat outrageously. Lately, Wang Qi felt that he had been playing rather shamelessly.

Upon hearing the statements from the two, Chen Feng was dumbfounded. He watched numbly as Wang Qi left the book on the table and walked out with light steps, asking, "He... he didn't even ask about the progress of the case? He let go so quickly... so quickly?"

"What do you think?" Chen Youjia pouted, motioning Chen Feng to look at the book left by Wang Qi.

"Human Clan Behavioral Science..."

Chen Feng chuckled bitterly, "So that's what he was aiming for... This guy is always like that."

In the Snow Country Illusion, Feng Luoyi warmed his hands by the stove used for brewing tea. Although it was an illusion, the sensations here were no different from the outside world. Chebyshev sat opposite him, writing and calculating on a virtual screen. He reached out, "Mr. Feng, come have a look at this..."

"I believe this formula should look like this… right here, the convergence point, I think we can still work on it."

Chebyshev frowned, sighed, and said, "If this 'article' comes to fruition, it will surely make history."

Feng Luoyi mused, "Indeed. It would impact the Heavenly Material Circulation, the Life Path, and even the entire Modern Law."

"Youngsters are to be feared, to be feared indeed. If I hadn't met him, I would have thought I was communicating with a Mathematics Grandmaster." Chebyshev first praised, then shook his head, "Your student, having a bit of the style of Bai Ze God Monarch, and actually willing to accompany you in feeding the Mathematics that makes the earth, is truly inconceivable."

God Monarch Bai Ze was once one of the Wanfa Sect's "Twin Stars," and a contemporary rival of Sword Madman Grangri. However, when he began his path, it was the time of Yuanli Master's utmost prominence. Bai Ze God Monarch most revered the Yuanli Master, and despite being a master of the Wanfa Sect, he was not particularly interested in Mathematics itself, focusing more on the application of Mathematics.

Wang Qi was now only interested in obtaining a mathematical theory that could be applied in a real-world problem, so he tossed out many ideas without verification.

"His intuition for mathematics is quite strong, at least what he tosses out is correct—or likely correct. He is practically on the same level as the Mathematics Lord, only without the proofs." Feng Luoyi laughed, "That child, some of his personality is quite like mine, researching whatever comes into his mind or catches his interest. He's so anxious right now, probably because he's preoccupied with something."

"Preoccupied?"

Feng Luoyi smiled without answering, but his mind flashed back to another application from Wang Qi.

"Qualification Trial Application... How interesting. If you're really interested, then let's grant your wish." (To be continued.
