Seeing Yue Xin staring, Yi Chengxuan asked, “Are you interested? You should have learned it before, right?”

Yue Xin recalled her foolish behavior of deliberately not studying hard in order not to get first place. She nodded. “Yes, I learned it, but I didn’t comprehend it at that time.”

Yi Chengxuan was silent for a moment before taking out two other books from the side. One was a combat manual of a certain country’s army, and the other was a platoon strategy of a certain country’s army.

Yi Chengxuan had his usual smile on his face. “Then when you’re tired from studying military knowledge, I can teach you a few physics questions to adjust.”

Yue Xin was puzzled.

From that day onwards, Yue Xin lived a life of continuous learning in Building No.5. Not only did she have to memorize the roles and tactics of various soldiers, but she also had to listen to Yi Chengxuan talk about a few physics questions during dinner. However, because Yue Xin had received training in Building No.8, Yi Chengxuan’s current level was not difficult. After all, in

Building No.5, Yue Xin only had to passively accept the knowledge Yi Chengxuan taught her. Back then, when she was in Building No.8, she had to constantly analyze and summarize, updating herself in real time.

“Yue Xin, take a look at this map and tell me how to attack the stronghold that has been cleaned up.”

Yue Xin stuck her head out. After looking at the map, she quickly matched it with a certain part of the book and began to answer accordingly.

Of course, Yi Chengxuan knew that Yue Xin was only talking about the contents of the book. She didn’t think about it at all, but this was enough. He didn’t intend to nurture Yue Xin into an expert. As long as she could fool the warden and get a spot to accept the mission, it would be fine.

Yi Chengxuan didn’t tell Yue Xin that the mission in the Land of the Fallen was a think tank. They didn’t have to fight personally. They just had to observe the overall situation in the base. However, Yue Xin still agreed to it without hesitation even though she didn’t know if it was safe.

“Yi Chengxuan, I’ve finished reading this firepower diagram. Which one should I read next?”

The current Yue Xin was a heartless memorizing machine.

Yi Chengxuan was pulled back from his thoughts by Yue Xin’s words and shook his head. “We won’t read for now. I’ll take you somewhere in the afternoon. Do you want to eat snacks now?”

Yue Xin said, “I want to eat Wujiang pickled vegetables, the kind that has been buried for 30 years.”

Yi Chengxuan stopped in his tracks. “There’s no more Wujiang. Do you want to drink royal milk tea?”

“Yes.” It had been a long time since Yue Xin had savored this familiar taste. She drank a large pot in one go and successfully endured until she couldn’t eat lunch.

In order not to let Yue Xin crave it, Yi Chengxuan didn’t eat lunch. At one in the afternoon, Yi Chengxuan left Building No. 5 with Yue Xin and went straight to the entrance of the prison.

Yue Xin didn’t know what Yi Chengxuan wanted to do, but she knew that the prison guard guarding the prison gate was no longer the person she had seen when she entered the prison.

Yi Chengxuan said something to the prison guard. The prison guard stood up and walked to the door. After inserting the key, he began to enter the password. This password was the same as the one Su Yu had entered.

After entering the password, the pitch-black door slowly opened. What greeted Yue Xin’s eyes was an endless blue sea and genuine blue sky and white clouds.

Yi Chengxuan walked out of the door. The prison guard did not stop him, as if he was not a prisoner here but the master.

Yue Xin strode after Yi Chengxuan and asked, “Can prisoners walk out of prison casually?”

Yi Chengxuan turned around and looked into Yue Xin’s eyes. He said seriously,

“As long as you don’t think you’re a criminal, no one can lock you up.”

Yue Xin tilted her head and exposed Yi Chengxuan. “You’re changing the topic.”

Yi Chengxuan smiled and didn’t say anything. He walked to the soaked sand and was only one step away from entering the sea. He waved at Yue Xin. “I have something to show you.”

Yue Xin looked at the prison guards at the prison door behind her, then at Yi Chengxuan. She walked over. The prison door behind her was not closed, as if it was waiting for them to go back.

“Do you know about the Tyndall effect?” Yi Chengxuan asked.

Yue Xin: “I know. The second chapter of the chemistry book you gave me discussed it.”

Yi Chengxuan had already accepted the fact that Yue Xin could accurately say what he had read. He continued, “The seawater also has the Tyndall effect.”

Yue Xin looked at the endless sea and replied, “There are impurities in the seawater. It’s not pure. It can indeed achieve the characteristics of colloid solution.” The sunlight was just right and even a little hot.

Only then did Yue Xin realize that Yi Chengxuan looked even paler under the real sunlight.

“Do you want to see the Tyndall effect of the seawater?” Yi Chengxuan asked.

Yue Xin: “What’s there to see?”

Yi Chengxuan: “The shape of light.’

Yue Xin looked at the seawater that was just a step away and asked, “If I jump in, will I sink to the bottom of the sea?”
