Chapter 26: Attempt

“BAM!”

Jiang Hengshan was flung away like a cannonball and smashed against the wall before he slid off. The wall immediately cracked, the marble pieces splattering.

“Puchi!”

Jiang Hengshan vomited a mouthful of blood after hitting the ground.

He struggled to get back on his feet, but the unbearable pain had deprived him of all his strength. He fell on the ground again, his face pale and his body cold.

“Baili Qingfeng… I hate…” Jiang Hengshan roared with anguish and regret.

He died before he was able to finish.

“Hu!”

Baili Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at a cabinet that had been broken. A few pistols had fallen out, and many bullets were scattered on the ground. Each one of them was a deadly weapon that could easily claim lives.

It was fortunate that he was cautious enough to kill them before they could use weapons. Otherwise…

The outcome of the battle would’ve been uncertain.

It would be painful to be shot by the gun.

“They’re finally dead.”

Baili Qingfeng sat on the couch and rested.

He felt uncomfortable looking at the bodies in the room.

However, he grew determined a moment later.

“Everything I do, I do for self-protection! Jiang Hengshan must be a villain to keep guns at his house all the time. Also, the Jiang brothers are known as the underworld emperor in Sumen… I am just a student of Shire University who only recently reached adulthood. How can I hope to deal with them? Since they were so aggressive, they left me with no choice but to kill the Jiang brothers.”

Considering the evil things that the Jiang family had done, he had probably eliminated a hazard for the people.

After resting, Baili Qingfeng looked at the several piles of cash on the table.

Each pile had ten thousand bucks, and there were eighteen piles in total.

“Jiang Hengshan hired an assassin who almost killed me. I was greatly traumatized. Also, I came from Shire to Sumen at nine without even having dinner. The money here will be the damages they pay for my mental anguish.”

Baili Qingfeng kept the money.

Eighteen piles of cash were difficult to carry. He needed to find a box, or a bag if boxes were not available.

Therefore, he went inside what appeared to be a bedroom.

After searching for a while, he found a box and a safe.

The safe was one meter tall. It was embedded into the wall solidly and even connected to the foundation.

Baili Qingfeng turned around and searched Jiang Hengshan’s body for a while. Soon, he got a key. Then, he put it into the keyhole and twisted…

“Crack.”

It opened.

There were three compartments in the safe.

The first compartment contained books, notebooks, and CDs which were of little worth.

The second compartment contained diamonds, jewelry, and a pistol made of gold.

As for the third compartment…

It contained heaps of dazzling cash. Baili Qingfeng roughly calculated them and realized that there were over eighty heaps.

“…”

Baili Qingfeng’s eyes stopped on the heaps of cash and said, “By the time I finish dinner, it will be past ten, and I will have to spend the night in Sumen City since it’s impossible to return today. In such a case, I cannot study tonight, and my grades will be affected. I will need to buy more books to make up for it. Therefore, this money will compensate for the books.”

Baili Qingfeng opened the box and stored the money in the safe into it.

There were eighteen piles of cash in the safe. Together with the eighteen piles outside, they were 1.04 million dollars in total. The box was spacious enough to contain them.

Although 1.04 million seemed a little too much…

Knowledge was invaluable.

Therefore, it was not entirely an unacceptable deal.

After loading the 1.04 million, Baili Qingfeng took the change on the table and left the yard.

When he left, he considerately locked the gate for them, in case somebody broke into the yard and disturbed the dead.

Carrying the box, Baili Qingfeng had dinner at a restaurant. The food was rather spicy and Baili Qingfeng did not eat too much. After that, he checked into a hotel not far away from the restaurant.

The night was peaceful and quiet except for a few phone calls.

He could finally have a good sleep without worrying that somebody would shoot him from the back.

The next morning, Baili Qingfeng came to the bus station after breakfast and returned to the university town of Shire.

Shire had been in turmoil because of the incident regarding the Aurora Empire’s embassy, but the issue had been completely suppressed. The tranquility and peace had been restored.

Such a life…

It was exactly what he wanted.

When he returned to his rented house, Baili Qingfeng discovered that the body in the woods had been cleaned. He was saved the trouble of doing it himself.

Zhe Gu was an assassin of the underground and a wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Shea. Whoever found his body would definitely be promoted with a salary raise.

Baili Qingfeng put the box of money under his bed. Then, he took out a pile of cash and bought a computer with five thousand.

The specs of the computer were not very impressive. It was very expensive because the technology hadn’t been popularized yet.

After he spent five thousand on the computer, he registered for internet service, which cost him another fortune.

Finally, he paid a hundred bucks for books when he passed a bookstore.

Since he announced that he would study hard, he would certainly honor his words.

Baili Qingfeng opened his book and his notebook, learning patiently.

Electric charge, field, potential, current, and magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves…

The atoms, which constituted matter, include charged particles themselves.

Positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons form the nucleus. There are negatively charged electrons outside the nucleus. The number of positive charges in the nucleus is the same as the number of negative charges of the electrons, which makes the atom appear electrically neutral compared to the outside world.

Because of the distance, electrons are easily affected by external forces and detach themselves from the atom. When two objects rub against each other, some electrons with insufficient binding force will transfer from one object to another. Therefore, the electrically neutral object will acquire electrons and become negatively charged, while objects that lose electrons are positively charged. This process is known as the triboelectric effect.

The charge can transfer, but it will not disappear. The amount of charge does not change during the transfer. This is the law of charge conservation.

“Elementary charge…”

Baili Qingfeng learned for a while. “Through the Thunderous Juggernaut Method, one could imagine the Primeval Thunder Beast and intimidate other people with the rumbling thunders. When I imagine the beast, I am influenced by the life form and mental status of the Primeval Thunder Beast, so my potential difference will probably change… If I can control the change perfectly, I will be able to control the electric output through the potential difference. In such a way, I won’t need a dozen resistors to diverge the electricity during my training…”

Baili Qingfeng had always been a doer.

It was very easy to measure the potential difference.

Baili Qingfeng bought a metal ball, a metal rod, and a pointer…

Soon…

A simple electroscope was completed.
