After finishing the report, Lu Qianfan and Le Ningyue stayed alone in the office and had another conversation.

Lu Qianfan's actual merits have reached the quasi-knight level, but because the most critical exploits involve gray pigeons, they cannot be disclosed, so he can still only be an ordinary student.

As for fixing the world bug, Lu Qianfan still couldn't get specific information, and the reason was still that he hadn't reached the rank of sergeant. However, Le Ningyue told Lu Qianfan that he had touched the secret of fixing the world's bugs.

This made Lu Qianfan suspicious, wondering if he had accidentally guessed any of his nonsense in the dimensional trap.

Suddenly, he reacted to a question. "I haven't told you about these hypotheses, how do you know that?"

"What do you say?" Le Ningyue smiled demonically, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she stared at Lu Qianfan.

"It won't be me, you know what I'm doing in this world, right?" Lu Qianfan broke out in a cold sweat. "Then the little secret I hid under the bed in the dormitory won't ......"

"I'm not interested in your otaku limited edition." Le Ningyue said disdainfully.

"You do! What an otaku limited, that's an annual limited! ”

Le Ningyue said: "It's just that your conjecture touched the origin of the world, and you activated your words and spirits and alarmed the gods. ”

"I see." Lu Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't like to have a pair of eyes next to him when he does bad things with Xiao Ranran in the future.

"As for your little secret, it was discovered by your guide when he went to bed. Of course, the school doesn't care about that, so you can rest assured. ”

"You're really a bunch of voyeurs!"

When he left the principal's office, Lu Qianfan felt that he should not come here casually in the future.

"There's still time, let's go and meet Zuo Chen first."

In the laboratory of the Xia Group, Zuo Chen looked at the glasses handed by Lu Qianfan, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your glasses are in disrepair." Lu Qianfan said: "Give you a new pair, it will be my thank you gift." Thank you for helping me strengthen my armor and for telling me to keep my emotions in check. ”

"I don't need to." Zuo Chen said.

"Give it to you, and you will take it." Lu Qianfan put the glasses back into the glasses case and placed them on Zuo Chen's experimental table. "I have something to ask you."

"I'm busy." Zuo Chen said, "If it's something that has nothing to do with the Heavenly Wolf, you don't need to look for me." ”

"What is the second stage of the power furnace?" Lu Qianfan asked.

Zuo Chen turned his head to look at Lu Qianfan abruptly and said, "You don't even know the advanced theory of the power furnace?" ”

Lu Qianfan nodded. When he first made the game, he didn't have the idea of a power furnace advancement! Then again, my IQ is high compared to my peers, why have I always been despised as an idiot lately.

"Search for yourself on the Internet."

"Just tell me." Lu Qianfan said with a dead face: "You said that my power furnace is not far from the second stage, but I don't even know what the second stage is, how can I advance?" You also want me to advance to the second stage as soon as possible, so that I can carry out follow-up research on the attributes of Tian Yuan, right? ”

Zuo Chen said: "There is a process of continuous integration between the core and the power furnace, and after the integration of the core and the power furnace reaches a certain level, the power furnace will undergo qualitative changes. ”

Lu Qianfan said: "Constant integration? Does it mean that the degree of compatibility between the knight and the core increases, I remember that the higher the degree of fit, the higher the power that the core can play. However, isn't this degree of fit relatively fixed? ”

Zuo Chen tilted his head. "How did you get to Jinglin University? If you didn't show any flaws during the interview, you will get such a simple question wrong. ”

"Interview? I got in. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the college entrance examination...... That's not surprising, there are always lucky fish that slip through the net. ”

"Aren't you taking the college entrance examination?"

"I was escorted, and I didn't take the college entrance examination." Zuo Chen said.

Lu Qianfan almost fell to his knees. "I was wrong, don't crush my IQ."

"Fusion is the fusion of the core and the power furnace, and the fit is the fit of the knight and the core. The former is the influence of the core on the power furnace, and the latter is the degree of convergence between the fluctuations of the body's own magic energy and the fluctuations of the core magic energy. Zuo Chen said: "The improvement of the degree of fusion will improve the compatibility of the knight and the core phase a little. ”

"And what is fusion?"

"To put it simply, it's like infiltration." Zuo Chen said: "With time and use, the core will gradually integrate with the power furnace, so that the nature of the power furnace itself will change. To put it simply, the core of the power furnace at this stage will be absent, and the power furnace will be able to output magic energy only from the furnace wall. The efficiency of mana's output increases exponentially. The promotion of the power furnace from the first stage to the second stage means a qualitative change in strength. ”

Lu Qianfan asked: "Since there are different stages of the power furnace to divide the strength, why do you use the title to distinguish it?" ”

Zuo Chen said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Some people are extremely strong, but they are rampant in the township, and they cower when they encounter Warcraft, and some people are weak, but they dare to face the powerful Warcraft and kill the Warcraft with their own wisdom and strength, who do you think is stronger? ”

Lu Qianfan chose the latter without hesitation, because he felt that the latter's situation was about himself, a hot-blooded actor who dared to challenge beyond the level.

Zuo Chen nodded, and then said, "Generally speaking, the first-stage power furnace can deal with private-level and non-commissioned officer-level demonic beasts, but the power furnace is not in the second stage, and the performance of the magic armor is almost impossible to defeat captain-level demonic beasts. ”

"Some of the Captain-level Demonic Beasts are high-level, and they even need the Power Furnace to reach the third stage to deal with them."

Is there such a big gap between Warcraft and humans? Lu Qianfan couldn't help but worry about the future of mankind. He asked, "What about the generals and marshals?" ”

"That's not what you know right now." Zuo Chen's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, as if he remembered something. Then, he shook his head and said, "Judging from the current data, most knights will advance to the second stage during their studies at the Knight Academy, which is generally from the spring semester of their junior year to before graduation. As for the self-reliant hunters, a large part of them may not reach the second stage even at the age of thirty. ”

"From this point of view, you can be considered a genius if you touch the threshold of the second stage in less than two months of school. However, this is also related to the fact that the degree of compatibility between you and the Tian Yuan attribute itself is very high. ”

"From the early stage of the configuration, your power furnace has been affected by the attributes of Tian Yuan, and it almost fits perfectly with the core of Tian Yuan, so that the fusion speed of the core and the power furnace has been greatly accelerated. That's why I said, why you don't need to reconfigure the power furnace until you progress to the second stage. ”

"So how do I get to the second stage?" Lu Qianfan asked.

Zuo Chen said: "The sign that the power furnace has entered the second stage is that the core is in a state of absence. However, if the Demon Armor wants to truly advance to the second stage, it must insert a second core into the power furnace. ”

"A second core?" Lu Qianfan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it the second attribute of awakening?" ”

Zuo Chen said, "It depends on your second core decision. Some knights will choose the second attribute that fits them as the core, and some knights will put the same core as the first attribute to further strengthen their original attributes. ”

Lu Qianfan said thoughtfully: "The placement of the second core means that the amount of magic energy reserves has doubled, as well as the types of magic weapons that can be used, and the power of magic weapons has increased significantly, right?" ”

In fact, what Lu Qianfan thought in his heart was: "Isn't this the setting I upgraded at the beginning?" With every 10 levels, the power furnace can expand its capacity by one core. There is no hierarchy in this world, so the concept of advanced is used instead? What a special meow to save trouble! ”

"The perception is not bad." Zuo Chen said: "Therefore, when the power furnace enters the second stage, it is the real strengthening. In addition, after the power furnace enters the second stage, there will be some changes. Different from the first stage, the power furnace in the second stage will achieve different degrees of integration between the second core and the power furnace, which will cause a qualitative change in the output efficiency of the power furnace to a certain extent. ”

"About 0-30% of the degree of integration is the rejection period, about 30%-60% is the acceptance period, 60%-90% is the fluctuation period, and more than 90% is the constant period."

Lu Qianfan was stunned. "Repulsion, acceptance, fluctuation, constancy? How does this sound like dividing the love stages with a good feeling in a love game? ”

Zuo Chen said: "If you plan to understand it like this, it's not impossible. ”

"So how do I get to the second stage? I feel like I'm getting to 99% and the download speed suddenly goes to 0 and I'm stuck there. ”

"It's a normal bottleneck." Zuo Chen said: "What you need is a more intense external stimulus, such as an ore stimulus rich in a lot of magical energy, or a critical breakthrough in life and death. Of course, you can also choose to rely on time. ”

"This sentence, how do I listen to it, how does it seem like a routine. In the next plot, shouldn't I run out to hunt for treasure or experience in order to advance? Lu Qianfan said.

"Not really. Although most of the ore materials stored by the Xia clan are suitable for building magic armor skeletons and magic weapons, there are not many ore reserves suitable for promotion, but there are still some of them. No matter how bad it is, Xia also has other ways to help you find auctions or merchants that sell ore. ”

"That's fine." Lu Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Chen said: "However, I don't have the right to use this ore. If you need it, you have to ask Xia Bufan for it yourself. ”

“…… That's still it. Although Lu Qianfan is shameless, he still understands the truth of eating people with short mouths and short hands. He already owes Xia Bufan a favor. If he dares to be cheeky to ask for this, he doesn't know what he has to use to repay this favor.

All in all, let's find another way. Lu Qianfan scratched his head and said, "Zuo Chen, I have one more thing. ”

"What else is going on with you? Can't you just finish it all at once! "Zuo Chen is already a little impatient." I still have experiments to do. ”

Lu Qianfan said: "The theory of transforming attribute magic energy through magic weapons means that magic weapons do not need to be linked to the power furnace in advance, and the attribute transformation of magic energy is not completed through the magic weapons engraved in advance by the power furnace and the skeleton, but on the built-in core of the magic weapons, do you know this theory?" ”

"What do you say? Who told you this theory? Zuo Chen's transfer turned around abruptly. He stared at Lu Qianfan with his eyes and said, "What else do you know?" Hurry up and tell me! ”

Lu Qianfan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I, I, I, I also found it by accident." It's just that some ores are naturally capable of converting magical energy into other attributes. In other words, if you decipher the source code of the ore itself, you can ......"

"There is no such ore. Natural ores can store magic in the ore with a certain attribute at most, and finally form an interaction that is very compatible with this attribute. However, their output is uncontrollable, and will only be released in full for the moment of purification and smelting, or slowly pass with the rest time. ”

"But what's the matter with the healing crystal?" Lu Qianfan said: "Although the healing attribute is normal, it seems that it is through the transfer of gentle magic energy to accelerate the healing of demon armor and physical injuries. However, this process is essentially to soften the magic energy through the healing crystal, not to change the magic energy properties through the power furnace, right? It's just that the requirements for the mildness of the magic energy of the input healing crystal are relatively stricter. Looking at it this way, isn't the healing crystal just transforming the magic energy attribute and then stabilizing the output? ”

Subsequently, Lu Qianfan told Zuo Chen all his conjectures and the things about feeling the dimensional trap code in the Great Star Forest, which immediately aroused Zuo Chen's interest.

The two of them got together and chatted with great interest until dark, not only did they not eat lunch, but they didn't even eat dinner.

"In other words, as long as we decipher the code of the ore and rewrite it, we can control the ore." Zuo Chen said: "Your method is still too mysterious. In my opinion, first use the magic weapon to imitate a piece of ore, and then use the magic weapon to decipher the code of the restored ore by adjusting the output and release of the magic energy. Then, the deconstruction code and control code are engraved on the ore. ”

"If our experiment is successful, we will prove that your hypothesis is true! Ores with certain attributes have the ability to transform magical attributes and can be controlled! ”

"Next, as you said, study how to use the way of magic energy penetration to decipher the ore code, and then write the corresponding deconstruction and control programs."

"In this case, the magic weapon will usher in a leap forward in the era! Ignoring the attributes of the core of the Demon Armor Power Furnace, you can equip various weapons, even if the power is limited, it can save time and effort to produce standard equipment, which will greatly increase the combat power of the human race! ”

Looking at the excited Zuo Chen, Lu Qianfan asked, "Can this idea make money?" ”

"Is this a money-making thing? This matter is related to the progress of all mankind! Zuo Chen said: "Don't talk about money, as long as the research is successful, you will have what you want!" ”

"Mom! Earn big! Lu Qianfan rubbed his hands excitedly. So when will I get this first ......?"

Zuo Chen said, "Don't worry, you give me a month first." It will take a lot of time to test your hypothesis. ”

"Can't you make an advance first?" Lu Qianfan asked with a little disappointment.

"If you want money, you go and talk to Xia Bufan. I can't even confirm whether it can be established, so I can't just apply for a research grant. Zuo Chen said: "However, if the verification is successful, I am willing to give you a copy of the paper." ”

Lu Qianfan knows that for a person whose main pursuit of life is academic research, giving up the position of a thesis is like giving up half a lifetime's efforts. He wouldn't do such an inhumane thing, and he just wanted money compared to a dissertation.

"When you verify successfully, just give me the money." Lu Qianfan believes that Zuo Chen will definitely succeed. Because, he had seen this technology in action seven years later.

"In the end, there is still no way to make the cut." Lu Qianfan scratched his head. From the underground dungeon to the forest search and rescue, he faced the captain-level demonic beast twice, which made him feel the importance of improving his strength at all times.

After coming out of Zuo Chen's research room, Lu Qianfan bought a lot of snacks, rode a shared bicycle, and rushed to the hospital. On the way, he made a phone call to Chadrow.

"Sister Zhuoer, how is Ranran in the hospital?"

"She's out of the hospital, and if you go to the apartment now, you should still be able to see her."

"What?" Lu Qianfan was taken aback. Although it is not clear why Xiao Ranran was discharged from the hospital early, an ominous premonition kept emerging in his heart. When she saw Xiao Ranran for the last time in the original world, the loneliness in her smile once again appeared in Lu Qianfan's heart.

Lu Qianfan was scared, afraid that Xiao Ranran would be silent again like in the past. He pedaled so fast that he almost sparked.

After rushing to the downstairs of Xiao Ranran's apartment, Lu Qianfan's chain car rushed into the elevator before he could do so. He hurriedly figured out the key that Xiao Ranran gave him, and rushed out the moment the elevator door opened.

“1701,1702…… Damn, how is 1703 here! Lu Qianfan anxiously turned around in the corridor of the apartment before he found the apartment that Xiao Ranran rented. Then, without saying anything, he opened the door with the key and shouted, "Ran! ”

The moment he pushed the door open, Xiao Ranran, who was packing his luggage in the living room, and Lu Qianfan, who suddenly broke in, looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ranran didn't expect Lu Qianfan to suddenly break in, she was startled, and instinctively wanted to hide the luggage in her hand behind her.

Lu Qianfan saw Xiao Ranran's crampedness, and he couldn't hold back the panic in his heart anymore. He threw the snacks in his hand to the door, strode in front of Xiao Ranran, and hugged her into his arms.

"You, you, what are you doing?" Xiao Ranran, who was suddenly hugged, was stunned.

"Don't go, please, don't go." Lu Qianfan's tone actually brought a little crying.

Xiao Ranran's hands went from Lu Qianfan's armpits to his back, and they also hugged him. She said: "Qianfan, it's okay, calm down, calm down." I was only out for a few days and will be back soon. ”

"Really, really?"

"Can you not be like a child?" Xiao Ranran snuggled in Lu Qianfan's arms and said with a smile: "How old are you, cry when you say you cry?" ”

"Who's crying?" Lu Qianfan's tone returned to normal slightly. He asked Xiao Ranran, "Where are you going?" You're just getting a good injury, you should rest for a few more days......"

Xiao Ranran took a step back, looked at Lu Qianfan's eyes, and said, "North, Ning Ancient City." ”

"What? How could it go so far? "Lu Qianfan has an impression of Ning Ancient City, which is a large map that will only be unlocked in the late game, and the difficulty is not low! In this world, the ancient city of Ning will only be more dangerous! "It's too dangerous there! Not what you can handle right now! ”

"I asked Sister Zhuoer. I have to go out and practice. Xiao Ranran said.

"You're strong now. Wouldn't it be good to wait until your strength was strong enough to deal with the monsters there? Why take the risk now? ”

"Aren't you taking a risk!?" Xiao Ranran suddenly raised her voice. "How long did it take you to successfully summon the Demon Armor, and then you ran to hunt the Demon Beast! They also encountered mutated storm sand monkeys. You're dealing with so many monsters alone in the mines. In order to save me, you have to fight with your life to deal with a captain-level demonic beast! ”

"Do you take less risk in order to become stronger? Do you think I don't know anything? When you defeated Tu Shanwei in the ring, do you think I can't see how desperate you are trying to become stronger? ”

Lu Qianfan smiled bitterly. "If I don't become stronger, I won't be able to protect you well."

"I don't want your protection! I also want to be able to stand with you and face those dangers together. I have to get stronger, or I'll be overtaken by you......"

The moment he heard this, Lu Qianfan suddenly realized that Xiao Ranran in the two worlds had not changed at all. He looked at Xiao Ranran, who suddenly had tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to kiss her on the lips.

was suddenly kissed by Lu Qianfan, and Xiao Ranran was stunned for a moment. After being quiet for a few seconds, she reacted, wrapped her hands around Lu Qianfan's neck, and responded to Lu Qianfan's kiss.

After a while, Lu Qianfan let go of Xiao Ranran and looked at her with a smirk. Xiao Ranran pursed her mouth and said, "Are you single for 10,000 years, don't you even know your relatives?" It's so stupid, your mouth is going to make you kiss and swell. ”

"I'm really single for 10,000 years." Lu Qianfan scratched his head innocently.

Xiao Ranran couldn't do anything with Lu Qianfan, but she also understood his thoughts. "Don't worry, I'll protect myself and come back safely."

"I want to go with you."

"No, as soon as you come with me, it will be you who protect me again."

"Okay, so when are you coming back?"

"At the end of the term, before the assessment of the ring battle."

Lu Qianfan shook his head and said, "Before Christmas." ”

"It's a deal."

"Hmm!" As he spoke, Lu Qianfan wanted to hug Xiao Ranran again, but she pushed her away.

"Alright, I'm going to pack! With two hours to go, I'm running out of time! ”

"Huh? Is it so urgent? ”

"I originally wanted to wait until I got to Ning Gucheng and then tell you."

"Why is this so......" As he spoke, Lu Qianfan also began to help Xiao Ranran pack her luggage. While cleaning up, he also had to tell Xiao Ranran to add more clothes in the cold, and told her to rest on time and not stay up late, like an old mother who sent her daughter to school.

"Got it, I'm leaving!"

After the two reluctantly said goodbye, Lu Qianfan put the orange-stuffed marshmallow that Xiao Ranran left him into his mouth, feeling that his lips were sweet.

In the next three days, after taking a good rest and inviting all the crayfish he owed, Lu Qianfan also continued to embark on the journey with his last 30,000 yuan.

"I have to find a way to get stronger."
