Chapter 8: The Study of Magic Patterns
Xue Qiong held an infusion stand in one hand, and completed the last task of their trip with Xiaoyun and the bald head.
In the end, Xiaoyun spent 900 points to buy a pair of arm shields for the bald head.
The reason why he chose the arm shield was because the bald head found that if he held a heavy shield in one hand and a high-frequency katana in the other, he would still be a little overwhelmed in terms of strength. And compared to large shields, this kind of shield with a handle and strap attached to the forearm will also be much more flexible.
The round shield is neither large nor heavy, and its diameter is only about forty centimeters. This is the use of alchemy to melt the bones of a mid-level demon, cast into a round plate with a handle on the back, then cover the surface with his skin, make a strap with his tendons on the back to fasten it to the arm, and finally seal a part of the demon's soul.
As cruel as it sounds, this is unexpectedly suitable for a bald head who is strengthened by dark energy all over his body. It is worth mentioning that when buying this shield, the three of them saw one of the best features in the trading area, a virtual trial...
Specifically, pay the space, and the space opens a limited-time, limited but completely realistic virtual space, and you can choose a small virtual space for the test project, and at the same time copy a copy of the commodity to be traded, for the reincarnation in the transaction to try.
And it seems that the reincarnators have formed an established process for using this function, that is, the buyer and the seller sign a contract before the trial, and the handling fee of the contract and the points for opening the virtual trial function are paid by the buyer first, and if the transaction is completed, the seller will reimburse the money. And if the deal is not sold, it is the buyer's own responsibility.
During the trial, after equipping the shield with the arm, the bald head found that it could barely withstand the attacks of the various heroic spirits in the previous world, but the surface of the shield was still somewhat damaged. It's just that after trying a few times, the bald head found that he could actually repair the damage of the shield with healing magic, and he could also inject his own magic power into the shield to increase its strength, and the three of them immediately decided that they must not give up this thing that is very similar to the bald head.
It's just that this seller seems to have a high attainment in alchemy, but he doesn't know anything about enchantment, so the shield didn't do the final enchantment, and even he himself thinks that this is just an imperfect practice, and he doesn't know that the shield he made has that effect on the bald hand, so Xue Qiong and they don't quite understand whether the seller is too rich, or he picked up a leak, or the applicability of this thing to the bald head is too high.
As for the problem of enchantment, it is easy to solve, the three of them went back to the bar again, and made an appointment with Lu Ziqiao, who was enchanting the skeleton of the lich, leaving a deposit of one hundred points, saying the total amount of three hundred points, and talking about the attributes of the bald head, the attributes of the shield and the special effects that will occur when people and shields are combined, Lu Ziqiao promised to complete the customization before the next world, and signed a contract. When Xue Qiong and the others start the next story world, the enchanted shield will appear in the preparation area and wait for them.
In addition, the trio also found Xiao Hei who was fiddling with a pile of rags on the first floor of the bar. After talking for a while, Xue Qiong casually asked him if he could help test the magic attributes of the three of them, and it turned out that this almighty little black really had those equipment. And after Xiao Hei heard that Xue Qiong had Lu Ziqiao's gold card, he actually agreed to test it for free...
The test results were available quickly.
According to Xiao Hei, among the reincarnated, there is actually no unified evaluation standard for the adaptability of supernatural powers. And one of the criteria is more universal, this criterion is divided into the fit of soul and body, and requires data in several dimensions.
The attributes of the soul, which is called the Origin, do not have a fixed scope, but can usually be summarized by one or two keywords. And this "origin" is a few unified concepts among all standards.
The Soul Source is almost impossible to modify in any way.
The physical data includes: energy capacity (in the average adult), computing power, output power, recovery rate, accuracy, and adaptability to the elements, etc., as well as some personal enhancement.
After testing, Xue Qiong's energy capacity and computing power are about equal to three units, but the other data is almost no different from ordinary people, and the equipment in Xiao Hei's hand is not accurate enough... The attribute adaptation of the flesh is none, which means that it is not recommended to attach attributes to energy attacks.
And Xue Qiong's soul origin is the defense and destruction of extreme contradictions. This situation, even Xiao Hei called it rare. When Xue Qiong talked about the testing experience in the Fate world, Xiao Hei quickly said that it was precisely because of this conflict that the equipment used to determine the origin in fate had a logical conflict, and the energy was overloaded, and it was finally destroyed. Moreover, although the equipment in Fate can determine the origin, its function is based on the premise that the subject has a magic circuit, so Xiao Yun cannot be measured.
In terms of the physical aspect of the bald head, due to his special strengthening, the energy capacity of his body is very large, but there is not much way to output, so the output power is very low. His recovery rate is almost non-existent, and his body's elemental adaptation is dark.
And the origin of the bald soul is healing, and it seems that his healing magic is right. The bald head also asks if this led him to become a doctor in the real world, but Blackie's statement is that this soul origin is just a "tendency", but it will never be the most important reason for something to happen.
After Xiao Yun became a vampire, several of her physical stats also became much higher. Her energy capacity will be higher than Xue Qiong's, and her output power is not low, and her recovery rate in her natural state is very poor, but she can suck blood.
The origin of Xiaoyun is fraud and chaos, which makes Xue Qiong and the bald head call it really accurate.
Thanks to the almighty Xiao Hei, after leaving that bar, Xiao Yun still had more than five hundred points left on her body, but two hundred of them were expected to be delivered to Lu Ziqiao, and they had been locked by beacons, so there were only three hundred points left to spend.
These 300 points, they can just use it to inquire about the next plot world. While it may seem like a bit of a loss to perform this operation with tradable points, they all agree that it is worth it.
Arad...
Xue Qiong always felt that something was wrong, and grabbed the black crystal left by Minette, but he couldn't say anything conclusive.
----------------
After returning to the real world, the magic book from the Heart Association that Lu Ziqiao gave was handed over to the group that analyzed the magic pattern, that is, a temporary group composed of hackers, Huang Huihong, Zhao Lin, Bao Daren and Zha Yao.
And the most important reason why these were used for manual analysis was that Xue Qiong and the others found that although the enhancements that could be directly exchanged in the transfer station had "practical skills", such as the magic bullet used by Rin Tosaka in the Fate world, or the healing magic used by Yan Feng Qili, there was no knowledge and theoretical system related to these skills.
Then today's dinner is curry.
At dinner, the hacker poured the food into his mouth without knowing it, and said with a grudge, "Boss, I think we need at least twenty programmers... You don't have to be too advanced, just an ordinary IT migrant worker like Zhongguancun. “
"A lot of work?" Xue Qiong asked, "Or is it the type that is not particularly high-tech, but is so troublesome that it is to death?" ”
"That's right." The hacker took out two sheets of A4 paper, on which were the magic arrays printed out after scanning with a scanner, "Look, is it a little similar to the upper left corner of this one, and the place directly below this one?" ”
Xue Qiong took a closer look, only to find one or two symbols in the pile of dense lines.
"Yes, that's right, so you want to..."Xue Qiong spoke without delaying eating.
"Hmm...," the hacker swallowed a mouthful of rice before continuing, "Roughly speaking, we can be sure that all the magic arrays in this book are the same system. However, there are too many of these symbols, and if we want to analyze them, for a few of us, it will take at least half a year to figure them out... So I want to find more people to convert all these flat forms of magic arrays into strings corresponding to codes and symbols, record them in this form, and then directly throw them to the computer for analysis. ”
Speaking of this, the hacker added: "By the way, because these magic arrays all have energy injection points marked with them, so according to the order of energy flow, the symbols can still be sorted, which can be regarded as reducing a lot of workload." ”
"In this case..."Xue Qiong put down the spoon in his hand, frowned, and said with some seriousness: "I think that after we have obtained so many new things, there is indeed a bit of a shortage of manpower. However, there is one key question to be clear, we are starting to expand the organization... Or is it like catching Liu Huan, and let the newcomer do the job while being controlled? ”
The accountant said, "There is only one scroll of enchantment. If there are many people, there is no guarantee of absolute control... I think it would be more realistic to rent an office building outside and so on, and then legally recruit some people and legally let them do these jobs. ”
"Nope." Xue Qiong quickly rejected the idea, "Regarding the study of these supernatural powers, I think it must be kept under strict secrecy and lockdown, and the two worldview collapses I encountered, I don't want to happen in the real world we live in." ”
The bald head said: "Otherwise, the three of us will teleport some cloned equipment in the next plot world, as well as equipment for rapid spawning and brainwashing..."
This time, it was the director who retorted: "It's not realistic." Not to mention no matter how brainwashing is, clones are still living people, and we can't completely control their minds, and even if we really use clones... Who to clone? The safest thing to do is to clone one of us, but who among us would want to watch dozens or hundreds of people who look exactly like themselves walking around the residency every day? ”
"Then just grab some cannon fodder..."Zha Yao said nonchalantly: "Recently, there have been more projects, and there are not enough experimental subjects, Director Xiaoyun will make a plan to scare them, and then if you are not loyal enough, you can directly use them as experimental subjects... One was killed this afternoon. ”
"How did you die, how did you die?" Xiao Yun had a curious expression, grabbed Zha Yao's thigh and kept asking.
Zha Yao said proudly: "A few of us used cinnabar and human blood to draw a detonation charm according to the animation, but it took many times to match the screen, and after the drawing, I remembered that no one would use chakra, so I had to use the charger at the head... The magic energy converter is used to test it, first make a hole in the wall of the testing room, thread the wires through it, connect the power supply to the outside of the test room, and then ask the test subject to take the crystal used for the interface and put it on the talisman..."
"Although your progress is good..."Xue Qiong's lips twitched, "but the magic energy converter is okay, right?" ”
"It's okay! Sturdy very! Cha Yao waved his hand, and then continued to eat his own food.
"That's right, Fu Shuai." Huang Honghong suddenly thought of something, "It seems to be said in that book that the blood of elves and demons is a good conductor of magic... You should have kept some of it, can you give me some points? ”
"Yes, yes, but not much..."Fu Shuai said frankly: "By the way, I found organs on those corpses that humans don't have, which may have something to do with magic, let's take a look at it together." ”
As a result, until the end of the dinner, the researchers' expansion plan did not come to a decisive conclusion, and the members finally only exchanged their results and ideas. In the end, he passively adopted Zha Yao's simple and crude method, and created a little more disappearance rate in a few nearby cities.
Although two days later, the hackers made a suggestion: to go to major colleges and universities to trick students, claiming to be the occult research institute of the Axe Earning Department, but this was eventually abandoned because it took too long and required long-term one-on-one communication.
Before they knew it, almost all of the researchers' interests and passions had shifted to magic, and the super-technological weapons that Xue Qiong had brought back from the Red Alert World were all thrown aside. And then, unconsciously, they began to specialize in the topic of "explosions" ... Even Hou Gongzi joined the team of analyzing magic materials because he found that there were some unparsed ingredients in my love for a piece of firewood.
The Magic Pattern Group, which was originally naturally generated, was suddenly divided into the Magic Pattern Group and the Material Group. Even Xiao Li got the zombie virus from Xue Qiong's hand, and felt that there was no thought of biochemical weapons, so he began to analyze the protein structure of elf blood, and tried to use bioengineering to mass-produce the components that can conduct magic power.
