The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 177: When Modern Science Meets Another World

Ying Wuji frowned, deep in thought.

Since the boss had said so, there must be a reason behind it.

"Under the fish?"

Xia Yuan, too, was puzzled. Why aim below the fish instead of directly at it?

However, given the boss's insight, he chose to trust him.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuan focused on the water.

A fish happened to swim past.

Perfect timing!

His eyes locked onto the target. His arm tensed, muscles coiling like a drawn bow.

Then—strike!

The spear sliced through the air and pierced the water...

This time, it hit!

Unlike before, where his strikes missed, the fish was now firmly skewered on the spear!

Xia Yuan lifted it out of the water, staring in surprise at his unexpected success.

"It actually worked..."

He walked back to shore, placing the spear on the ground.

Still puzzled, he turned to Luo Chuan.

"Boss, why did aiming below the fish work? I was clearly aiming at the fish before, but I kept missing."

The same question filled everyone's mind.

Why did this happen?

Their eyes burned with curiosity.

Luo Chuan, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a sense of duty—this was the perfect opportunity to introduce them to the wonders of physics!

"The science of another world—looks like it's up to me to spread it!"

Luo Chuan thought for a moment, then posed a question.

"Do you know why we can see things?"

Gu Yunxi excitedly responded, "Because we have eyes! Some monsters don't have them, so they rely on spiritual perception instead!"

The other students gritted their teeth in frustration.

Damn it! Such an easy question, and she answered first!

However, contrary to expectations, Luo Chuan shook his head.

Gu Yunxi's expression froze.

"Boss... did I get it wrong?" she asked, slightly annoyed.

Xia Yuan, who had been silently thinking, rubbed his chin.

"I think... it's because of light."

Luo Chuan nodded approvingly.

"That's right."

A victorious smile spread across Xia Yuan's face.

Gu Yunxi, on the other hand, was confused.

"Why?"

Luo Chuan explained, "In a completely dark room, even if you have eyes, can you see anything?"

Gu Yunxi paused.

It... made sense.

She wanted to argue, but before she could, Jiang Wanshang gently nudged her.

"Yunxi, just stop. You know the boss is on a completely different level. He's obviously right about this."

Gu Yunxi pouted. "Oh."

She wasn't the type to argue for no reason.

At that moment, Luo Chuan continued speaking.

The two girls perked up, eager to listen.

These concepts felt entirely new to them—a different kind of knowledge, separate from cultivation.

Luo Chuan continued, "It's because of light that we can see the world. Just like a mirror or the surface of a lake—when light hits it, some is reflected into our eyes, creating an image."

Everyone nodded, finding the explanation clear and logical.

Luo Chuan then added, "However, when light passes through certain substances, its path bends. This is called refraction."

Some students furrowed their brows, struggling to understand.

Luo Chuan knew words alone weren't enough—they needed a demonstration.

Picking up a straight branch, he walked toward the lake.

Everyone followed closely.

"Look," he said, inserting the branch into the water.

"Doesn't it look bent?"
