Marvel Start With Reality Stone - Chapter 17
Recalling the function of the [Mutated Stone], Qi Jun had a rough guess.
To clearly perceive this change, Qi Jun began to experiment.
He closed all the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and turned on the only old air conditioner in his ‘new home.’
Though noisy and old, it still worked!
First, he set the temperature to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is zero degrees Celsius.
As time passed, Qi Jun noticed that the temperature gauge was dropping, but he did not feel any change in temperature!
Frowning, Qi Jun began to touch all the objects in the room, and this time, through touch, he felt the icy coldness on the surfaces of all objects.
Qi Jun was somewhat reassured, knowing his sense of touch was still normal.
Then, he set the air conditioner to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 40 degrees Celsius, opened the doors and windows to raise the room temperature quickly, then closed them again and waited.
As time passed, the temperature gauge quickly rose. However, again, Qi Jun did not feel any warmth; he still felt his body at a perfectly comfortable temperature, unaffected by the changes in the room.
Then, Qi Jun started touching items in the room.
As expected, with each touch, Qi Jun’s fingertips clearly felt warmth, even a bit of scalding heat.
Finally, Qi Jun started running and jumping around the room.
As someone who is not very athletic, even simple running and jumping could quickly make him sweat profusely.
But!
But!
But!
This time, under careful observation, Qi Jun finally realized that although he was sweating profusely, his body temperature had risen quickly.
Mysteriously, these temperatures would return to their state before the exercise within a short while.
At the same time, a force invisibly swept through his body, revitalizing the slightly fatigued Qi Jun, making him feel energetic again!
Even more! Qi Jun could feel that all his muscles had been slightly toned!
Running and jumping not only didn’t tire him out but even allowed him to
Train! His! Body!
Such a break from normal conditions nearly caught Qi Jun off guard.
The [Mutated Stone]!
Definitely the [Mutated Stone]!
Qi Jun realized that his body could always maintain a constant temperature, indeed, thanks to the mischief of the [Mutated Stone]!
Thinking back to when he bonded with the [Mutated Stone] and the feedback it provided, Qi Jun fully understood what was happening.
The passive effect of the [Mutated Stone] was to absorb all energy harmful to Qi Jun!
The reason Qi Jun could not feel the warmth of the sunlight was because the [Mutated Stone] absorbed all the energy from the sunlight!
And Qi Jun had not expected that this absorption of all harmful energy would also include the heat produced by his own body.
Moreover, to ensure Qi Jun’s body functioned normally, did the [Mutated Stone] even actively use energy to regulate his body?
………………….
Qi Jun was unclear; the [Mutated Stone], by absorbing all energy harmful to Qi Jun, what level of energy did that actually include?
Qi Jun frowned; after all, humans need sunlight, and some vitamins are synthesized from sun exposure.
But now, because of the passive protection of the [Mutated Stone], Qi Jun couldn’t sunbathe, so what should he do?
At this moment, Qi Jun suddenly wished his [Mutated Stone] had sentience.
At least, it could tell him what exactly the threshold for harm was!
………………….
In fact, with comprehensive testing equipment, Qi Jun knew that it was not just the sunlight irradiating him that the [Mutated Stone] absorbed.
Actually, all forms of energy, tangible or intangible, whether electromagnetic waves, infrasound, ultrasound, infrared, pulse waves, etc., were all absorbed by the [Mutated Stone]!
From the moment Qi Jun acquired the [Mutated Stone], he became an ‘invisible man’! Any detection wavelengths touching Qi Jun were completely absorbed by the [Mutated Stone].
If it weren’t for the [Mutated Stone]’s judgment that Qi Jun needed to survive in a human environment, the [Mutated Stone] could even absorb all basic light and gravity, leaving none for Qi Jun.
From this, passive effects alone have countless capabilities that are worth exploring for Qi Jun.
Of course, as mentioned before, the passive effects can also be actively triggered, though it would require Qi Jun to bear the energy cost himself.
Just like the gravity
Acting on Qi Jun, once he actively absorbs and controls it, flying would be effortless!
Even something like a one-way street could be easily achieved!
Unfortunately, Qi Jun didn’t know these things and couldn’t utilize them naturally.
At this time, Qi Jun was just a normal person who had just crossed over to the Marvel world and had just secured a safe identity!
