Chapter 146

2345L: After hearing what the OP said, they do have that fated rival vibe.

2346L: I used to think that with Xuexue’s intelligence, he must have thought of the method of blindly guessing and quick-responding long ago, but I find the OP’s analysis very reasonable, it has convinced me ovo

2347L: I feel like Bai Xuechao is much harder to understand than Ling Feng. (Scratching head)

2348L: He is indeed hard to understand. Every time I think I’ve figured out this character’s design, he comes up with something new.

2349L: Exactly, who would have thought he was so damn good at cheating skills before the Dream Game City, is this a skill a shonen manga character should have?? (Spreads hands: This is ridiculous.jpg)

2350L: Right, the OP’s prediction has a point that matches now, Bai Xuechao didn’t fight with the male lead for the special ability energy crystal, he gave it to him directly… (Afraid to make a sound)

2351L: The OP was talking about the upcoming chapters, just because he gave it away now doesn’t mean he’ll give it away in the future.

2352L: What if Axue isn’t interested in the special ability energy crystal?

2353L: I don’t think so? I think it’s because Bai Xuechao is a bit special towards Xi-bao (.)

2354L: Is that “a bit”? That’s “very”!

2355L: The OP will probably analyze this, right? I want to see what the OP has to say! (Anticipation)

…

2380L[OP]: Ahem, I still have to talk about Bai Xuechao… (Wiping sweat) I’m really not switching favorites! I’m a die-hard Hao fan!

I can’t help it, it feels like Bai Xuechao had the most highlight moments and revealed the most information in this arc. Although Brother Hao had his highlight moments too, but… what I’m about to say is harsh, so I just won’t say it. (Just kidding)

It all started with the quiz battle between Brother Hao and Bai Xuechao.

The manga has already stated the difference between Bai Xuechao’s speed when answering without thinking and his normal answering speed, so I won’t repeat it here.

At that time, his answering speed had already surpassed Brother Hao’s speed of blindly guessing without thinking. To achieve this, both intelligence and speed are indispensable. He is definitely not just ordinarily smart, nor is he an ordinary level 7.

According to Brother Hao’s inner monologue (yes, that time when he was thinking about Bai Xuechao’s level and missed the question), we know that in order to catch up with Bai Xuechao and break through his own limits, Brother Hao’s speed of guessing answers had increased to within 0.11 seconds, which is between 0.1 and 0.11 seconds (of course, Brother Hao sped up again later), and this was Bai Xuechao’s answering speed.

Currently, the limit of human reaction speed is 0.09 seconds, one in ten thousand. I’ve checked the literature, and in the era of the manga’s setting, the limit of human reaction speed is 0.1 seconds.

Brother Hao is level 4, but his physical enhancement is already comparable to a level 7 special ability user, which means that the reaction speed of a level 7 special ability user is normally about the same as Brother Hao’s, between 0.1-0.11 seconds. By the way, let me quietly mutter, there are no level 10 special ability users in the manga yet, but a level 10 special ability user should be able to surpass the human limit, reaching 0.08 or even 0.07 seconds is not impossible.

Why do I dare to guess this? Please look at Bai Xuechao, seeing the question + thinking of the answer in his head + shouting it out is faster than Brother Hao.

He has to think about the answer after seeing the question, right? The time he took to think about the answer didn’t even exceed 0.11 seconds. The manga mentioned earlier that his reaction speed when answering without thinking is within 0.07 seconds. He’s even faster now, so 0.06 seconds is also possible, right?

Based on the 0.11 seconds used to answer, it takes 0.06 seconds to see the question, leaving him only 0.05 seconds to think. Terrifyingly so =A=

In short, Bai Xuechao’s intelligence must be exceptionally high. He should be the intelligence ceiling of this work.

The point of analyzing his reaction speed is to say:

Regarding Brother Hao’s question, Bai Xuechao explained that he ignored strength and focused on speed during his physical enhancement. I believe this, because if Brother Hao at level 4 can be comparable to a level 7 in all physical aspects, then it’s not impossible for him at level 7 to be comparable to or even faster than a level 10—provided that Bai Xuechao was telling the truth.

What if Bai Xuechao was lying? Or perhaps, he was telling a half-truth. The lie is that his heaven-defying reaction speed is likely because he is actually a level 8 or even level 9 special ability user. The truth is that he didn’t enhance his strength with each level-up, but enhanced his speed instead.

But if he was telling the complete truth, then I suspect Bai Xuechao is not far from level 8.

Although this information has not been officially released, I think that special ability users are already slowly “leveling up” as their special ability value increases. Their physical fitness will continuously improve a little, until they reach the next level, and their body begins the official enhancement after breaking through the level.

Therefore, the reason why Bai Xuechao can continuously evolve his answering speed might be because he is about to level up. It’s possible he’s already on the verge of level 8, waiting for a breakthrough.

After talking about his special ability, let’s talk about his brain. (This sounds a bit weird)

When humans think, the brain needs glucose to provide energy. Especially when he’s using his brain so frantically to answer questions, the consumption must be huge, so when he said he was “tired of playing” later and leaned against the hemp ropes of the swing, he actually had hypoglycemia. This includes him not being able to see things clearly after the protagonist group left, which was also caused by a change in the eyeball’s osmotic pressure due to hypoglycemia.

He’s probably so physically weak that the symptoms look more severe. (This phrasing is a bit weird too, what’s going on)

Besides that, I have to say, Bai Xuechao is excessively smart, so there will definitely be other characters to keep him in check.

Imagine with Bai Xuechao’s current performance, with his brain, if he wanted to do something bad, what could the protagonist group do to play with him unless they got a one-second max-level hack and beat him down?

The most recent example, think about Brother Hao’s ending in this chapter. (Just kidding)

I believe that if Bai Xuechao hadn’t gone easy from beginning to end and had been serious, and had used Gong Ting a little (perhaps he wouldn’t even need to use him), Brother Hao’s complete personality could have ended up in his hands (.). Although I’m a Hao fan, I still have to say this discouraging thing QAQ. After all, Brother Hao hasn’t grown up yet.

So, in order to keep Bai Xuechao in check and not let him dominate a lower-ranked game all by himself, there must be an opponent who can compete with him intellectually.

This opponent doesn’t necessarily have to fight with Bai Xuechao from beginning to end, but at least until Brother Hao grows up? (My guess)

If Bai Xuechao’s stance is biased towards Brother Hao, then the two villain organizations, the Dark Organization and the Apocalypse Society, will have no way to play. There must be a high-IQ person in these two organizations.

If Bai Xuechao’s stance is neutral or biased towards the villains, one of the two organizations might have one (if Bai Xuechao is neutral, they’ll fight; if he’s a villain, it’s dog eat dog), and the SAIDB might also have one.

But the high-IQ character in the SAIDB should be a newly introduced character, because among the SAIDB characters seen in the training camp arc and later, there don’t seem to be any with very high intelligence… Fans, please don’t hit me QAQ I admit there are quite a few smart people! But they are not the type with very high intelligence. Hiss, it sounds like I’m insulting people. What I mean is, they’re not genius enough. (Sweating profusely)

Of all the characters introduced from the SAIDB faction so far, Ling Feng seems to be the smartest, but he’s just ordinarily smart (Oh my god, what am I saying, even smart has ordinary), he’s not at the level of a prodigy, so he won’t be the one to keep Bai Xuechao in check.

2381L: Talking about Axue again hahaha! (Laughing while crying emoji)

2382L: I feel like the OP is going to talk about my wifey in the next post. (Doge emoji)

2383L: I really admire the OP, always finding information in these small details and then starting to make bold guesses =-= (No sarcasm intended)

2384L: It’s too much to calculate Axue’s answering time as 0.11 seconds. Brother Hao is within 0.11 seconds, and he’s faster than Brother Hao, but we don’t know the exact time, so it’s fine to calculate it as 0.11 for now.

2385L: Too scary, Bai Xuechao takes 0.06 seconds to see the question and 0.05 seconds to think. Isn’t the thinking time too short? But if it’s 0.05 seconds to see the question and 0.06 seconds to think, then the seeing time feels too short… Are all you special ability users this heaven-defying?! (Tactical lean back)

2386L: I suddenly realized, shouldn’t we also count the time it takes for them to open their mouths…

2387L: I just saw the part about his brain (my words are weird too), let me praise my Xue for a bit: his super high intelligence is like he’s seen the script in advance! (Hehe)

2388L: Bai Xuechao hasn’t seen the script, he writes the script and makes others act according to it (.)

2389L: Wow, I have to say, a passerby’s comment is really on point. The words of the person above really hit the spot for me. (Shy) (Hugging Bai Xuechao.jpg)

2390L: Where did the person above get that meme, I’m stealing it! (Hugging Bai Xuechao.jpg)

2391L: Replying to 2386L, isn’t opening your mouth to speak fast enough?

Actually, if you time it yourself, the time you need to open your mouth and speak is only 0.2-0.3 seconds. I tried a few times just now, and one time it was even 0.16 seconds. I’m just an ordinary person. According to the setting of special ability users in the manga, their physical fitness will be enhanced, so their speed will definitely be faster.

By the way, didn’t Brother Hao just shout out a random answer as soon as the question appeared? That should be the same as us just opening our mouths to speak, except he also has to add the reaction time to see the signal (the question appearing on the screen). (Into deep thought)

2392L: My heart aches for my frail and sickly wifey, he even has hypoglycemia qvq

2393L: I finally finished reading what the OP said, the family members in front are reading way too fast!

Although Little Xue’s stance is a mystery now, just because he went easy on Brother Hao, I don’t think he’s a bad person. (Obediently)

Maybe he’s the type of character who, “even if he’s a villain, still yearns for the light”?

2394L: Hiss, isn’t the filter of the person above a bit too thick. (Facepalm)

But I also want to know why Bai Xuechao went easy on the male lead. For the readers, getting the entire personality is like feeding us shit, but in the simulated world, there is no concept of “readers.” He must have some considerations. I wonder if the OP has any opinions. (Taking a stool and sitting down to wait)

2395L: Is it possible that Bai Xuechao’s own body holds him back, and he doesn’t need someone to keep him in check (.)

2396L: Holding him back? Are you referring to how Axue continued to answer questions even when his body was unwell and was still faster than Brother Hao? (Doge emoji)

2397L: The person above is a devil, why do I get the feeling of “even if I only have a sliver of health left, I can still crush you” hahaha. (Covering face) (Laughing while crying emoji)

2398L: Well, I think the leader of the Apocalypse Society, Yuan Lan, who appeared at the end of this chapter, looks very smart. (Husband filter) (Cupping face)

2399L: We can’t tell anything yet, right? He’s only said a few words.

2400L: Eek, actually, if we assume Yuan Lan is the kind of high-IQ person the OP mentioned who can keep Bai Xuechao in check, then their attributes seem to overlap a bit too much.

2401L: Ah this… it seems to be true… (Pondering) (Into deep thought)

2402L: Thinking about what the 2340th floor said, they both have white hair, they’re both very beautiful (of course my wifey is more beautiful), both have high IQ (assumption), both are fun-loving people (guess), both are very strong (one is level 7 and the other is a leader), shouldn’t only one of the two characters be kept? (Just kidding) (I seem like a devil)

2403L: We usually call this type a fated rival (.)

2404L: Fated rival again? Are your fated rivals sold wholesale?
