Chapter 48: Radar
In the evening, little fatty found Su Hao.
The moment little fatty came near, Su Hao understood what the function of the rune ‘Perception’ was.
Aside from vision and hearing, he seemed to have an extra perception of space.
He was at the center of this space perception, which continually radiated outwards in ripples. As little fatty approached, it was like the wave breaking against an obstacle, causing Su Hao in the center to immediately know something was approaching.
Wasn’t this like a radar?
Little fatty appeared in front of Su Hao, his face filled with excitement and apprehension: “Xiangwu, tomorrow is the school competition. I’ve been split into the seventh group. What group are you in?”
Su Hao turned his gaze away from little fatty and closed his eyes. He could still accurately perceive little fatty’s position. It was like he had an infrared thermal imager. He opened his eyes again to look at little fatty. Vision and perception combined, but there was nothing unnatural.
While experimenting, Su Hao said perfunctorily: “Ah, about that. I’m not quite sure.”
Little fatty said in shock: “What. You don’t even know? I heard that the first place winner of the school competition will get a powerful footwork combat skill ‘Grouse Treading Step’. With your strength, you’ll definitely take first place. If you can’t be bothered and miss out on the competition, that would be such a pity!”
Su Hao said indifferently: “You all know that I’ve got first place in grasp. Going won’t make a big difference. I also don’t want to bully people and want to give other people a little hope. I don’t want to hog all of benefits.”
Little fatty thought about it and nodded: “That makes sense.”
Immediately afterwards he said: “Xiangwu, my strength has already reached the level of a mid-level warrior. Our class teacher said I’m also a genius! Tomorrow morning when it’s my turn to compete, I’ll put on a good performance and get a good ranking. Xiangwu, you have to come and see my performance.”
Su Hao nodded: “That’s no problem. But what about Qingqing? What group is she in?”
“嗯?”
“Oh?”
Su Hao suddenly perceived there was a person rapidly approaching, as if they were jogging over. The intensity of the fluctuations was stronger than the ones made by little fatty.
Su Hao turned his head to look. It was Qingqing.
“Xiangwu!” After He Qingqing got close, she entered and saw that little fatty was also there. She had originally been a bit nervous, but then she relaxed quite a bit. He Qingqing showed a bright smile: “Xiangwu, little fatty, you’re both here!”
Little fatty immediately said: “Qingqing, we were just talking about you. Which group are you in for tomorrow?”
He Qingqing said: “In tomorrow’s qualifiers, us girls are divided into the last three groups. I’m in the 11th group. What about you?”
Little fatty said: “I’m in the seventh group. Xiangwu said he won’t compete. It’s a pity. If Xiangwu took first place, he could show me that “Grouse Treading Step’.”
Su Hao chucked: “If I competed, to put it bluntly, the school competition would lose most of its fun and become a stage for me alone.”
He Qingqing looked at Su Hao expectantly: “Xiangwu, will you come watch me compete tomorrow?”
Su Hao simply nodded: “Of course!”
Since being singled out by the third graders, He Qingqing had become a different person. She seemed much more cheerful in front of Su Hao.
Su Hao had thought that He Qingqing would always remember her childhood grudges and wouldn’t get close to him. He hadn’t thought that she would be like this, as if they had returned to their childhood.
Hearing Su Hao’s response, He Qingqing jumped up.
Little fatty immediately said: “Qingqing, I’ll also definitely watch you compete.”
He Qingqing nodded at little fatty and smiled: “Thanks little fatty!”
Su Hao said: “While there is still time, do you need me to help you practice?”
Unexpectedly, He Qingqing immediately refused: “No need. I want to rely on myself. I can do it!”
Little fatty hesitated a bit. He wanted to say he needed Su Hao’s help, but seeing He Qingiqing’s resolution, he also shook his head: “I’ll practice by myself. I can also do it myself! I worked very hard this past year.”
“Then I wish you all success in tomorrow’s competition.” Su Hao nodded.
Youths were eager to prove their abilities. He could understand. But if it had been his choice, he absolutely wouldn’t have turned down help from others.
Help from others could make improvement speed much faster, so why not. With the time saved, in the future he could do even more interesting and meaningful things.
He absolutely wouldn’t miss the opportunity to learn new knowledge. He would definitely learn the things he should learn. It was enough to just be As long as there was a spirit of awe to the transmission of knowledge and knowledge itself, that was enough.
Little fatty and He Qingqing left. Su Hao began to study the blood qi network.
Although his blood qi quantity is still less than half of his body’s limit, compared to before, it was an enormous amount.
If he released the enormous blood qi, the strength that would explode out would be hard for even him to imagine.
“The newly obtained perception ability can only perceive blood qi. The things without blood qi can’t be sensed at all.”
“Once little fatty and He Qingqing left the 100 meter range, I could no longer sense them. Based on these calculations, my perception range should be 100 meters, but it’s not super accurate.
There was a slight difference in perception ranges for little fatty and He Qingqing. Qingqing’s blood qi was stronger than little fatty and I could perceive her further than little fatty. Then, it could be assumed that my perception range would fluctuate with the blood qi amount. The stronger the blood qi, the greater the range I can perceive.”
“Also, I’m noticing that each person’s blood qi feeling is different. The feeling little fatty’s blood qi gives me is bloated and loosed, it’s soft, and lacks explosiveness. The feeling Qingqing gives me is capable, restless, and active. That is to say…”
“Minimap!”
That’s right. Su Hao thought of the online games he had played before like LOL, League of Kings, and others. There would be a small map in the corner where you could observe the movements of your enemies and allies.
His “Perception” rune, paired with “Little Light”, could totally achieve the effect of a secret person map.
Su Hao rushed into the marble room and began to write the corresponding map program.
First was establishing a character database and a creature database. All the people and creatures he had met with blood qi would be automatically classified and included in their respective databases.
He found the area where the marble room had recorded knowledge. An independent program was established, named “Radar”, coordinating his perception and synchronizing it with Radar.
Then noting the information, giving the different blood qi levels different names, then divided based on the world’s warrior levels. Entry common, mid-level common, high-level common, no threat, gray font; Entry elite, mid-level elite, high-level elite, white font, no threat; Entry master, mid-level master, high-level master, yellow font, some threat. Further up will require later additions.
In the end, real-time synchronization of the surrounding maps was difficult, but Su Hao’s requirements weren’t high. He only needed to use some simple squares and lines to outline the main obstacles.
Su Hao first entered the data of little fatty and He Qingqing into Radar and began to run the test.
At this moment, Radar was empty.
Su Hao got up and walked out.
He wanted to go out for a spin and collect more information and fill the database.
Soon Su Hao met the first person.
“Recorded, named: Student 00001, Entry common.”
Following Su Hao’s instructions, under his perception, that person was longer a red pattern but became a round face icon which was similar to the LOL minimap with a gray font on the round icon saying: Student 00001. The circular icon moved in real time as the student moved.
“Success!”
Su Hao knew that the 100 meter range wasn’t the limit. As he got used to it and his blood qi quantity filled, this range would continue to widen.
Su Hao was overjoyed. He wandered around the academy. Everyone he met within a hundred meters would be recorded. He had a great time.
As he squeezed into the crowd, the perception space was filled with a number of circular icons, but it wasn’t messy. The layers were clear and he could find the corresponding person with a glance. When he left, it was empty again.
However, what Su Hao didn’t realize was that his abnormal wandering around the academy was noticed by the students.
Thus, a strange rumor passed through the whole academy.
“Irritable Flying Man Wu Xiangwu is behaving weirdly tonight and is wandering strangely around campus, as if he’s looking for a target. Everyone, be careful. Stay away and take care.”
