Looking at the streamlined and completed attribute panel, Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction.
In addition to omitting a few rows of data that are not commonly used, the performance of the scanned target in terms of combat effectiveness has also become more intuitive. On top of that, through the analysis of the data from previous experiments, he split the psionic energy into two items: spiritual power and mana. In the same in-game terms, the former is roughly equivalent to the French DPS, while the latter is equivalent to the Mage's MP value.
Spiritual power can be increased through chips, but this way of pulling out seedlings to help them grow has the defect that it is difficult to continuously improve, and as for the attribute of mana, Jiang Feng currently has no way at all. It is barely possible to improve the strength of spiritual power by scientific means, but how to improve the affinity of spiritual power for magical elements, he is also at a loss.
Those wizards should have a cultivation method such as meditation in their hands, but unfortunately he has not been in contact with a real wizard so far.
In addition, in the "Blood Canon", there is a description of how to improve spiritual power and mana, but that method is too devastating to destroy the three views, and the power of cultivation does not belong to oneself, but is just a power borrowed from the gods. Spanning a distance of several light years, not to mention how much power the gods can project onto this planet, a staunch atheist like Xiang Jiang Feng definitely does not have the talent to be a devout believer.
"Is it time to leave the island and take a look at the continent of Aditya?" Although he had no interest in the Succession War of the Rick Kingdom, after hearing Captain Kairut's description of the rebels, Jiang Feng was a little concerned.
Rebuilding a ship is a hassle and a waste of resources. Fortunately, the brig sail of Viscount Cameron solved this trouble for Jiang Feng, and with a little modification, there was no problem at all when he went to sea.
The electric power is not enough, whether the fuel is synthesized or excavated, it is more troublesome, and the solid fuel such as coal is very easy to solve, Jiang Feng is going to use the workbench to get a few parts, assemble a charcoal steam turbine, and connect the propeller to serve as the power source of the brig.
"Just when the Stardust was being refined from those silver coins in the Mass Conversion Furnace, there were still some metals such as copper, lead, and tin, and with the iron ore from the port of Sevit, it should be no problem to build a steam turbine to drive ships."
As he spoke, Jiang Feng imported the model of the brig sail in the form of a holographic image.
Then, with a slight swipe of his finger on the secondary mast, the remaining mast turned into a pale blue particle, erased from the hologram. He then selected the stern of the ship, where he modeled the steam turbine and propeller, and designed additional boiler and control rooms.
With the strengthening of his mental power, Jiang Feng felt that he was much more comfortable controlling these neural access devices than before.
Importing the parts that needed to be built into the workbench production list, Jiang Feng glanced at the dense long list of entries. Although it may seem like a lot, for these low-tech and simple parts, the material and time spent on the workbench are not very large.
However, just as Jiang Feng was about to start construction, the doorbell sounded in his head, making him have to postpone his work......
……
"You're here to find that wizard, that guy lives here, and he'll hear him if you kick the door hard," the white mask was still hanging around his neck, and Yi Ran, who was walking in front, stopped, pointed to the hemispherical white building in front of him, and said with a nonchalant look, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
After saying that, she pulled the mask around her neck and turned around and walked down the mountain.
Watching the dark-haired girl walk down the mountain, Leia then glanced at her sister who was shrunk behind her, and spoke slowly.
"Emily, remember what your father said?"
The thin mouth was repeatedly pouted and lowered, and finally Emily nodded in frustration under the pressure of her sister.
"Got it, Emily will be honest and apologize."
Sighing sadly for her naughty sister, Leia was about to reach out and knock on the door, but the silver-white arc opened by itself.
Seeing that nasty face appear behind the door, Emily wanted to secretly stick out her tongue at him and make a grimace while he was not paying attention, but she didn't expect her sister's eyes to be fixed on her, and the little caution in her heart had to give up.
Accidentally glancing at Leia standing at the door, Jiang Feng turned his gaze to the half-elf little girl who was timidly shrinking behind Leia, and said with interest.
"Oh? Found it so quickly? ”
Her pursed lips had twisted into a W-shape, and Emily lowered her head in frustration.
She originally thought that as long as she was serious, she would definitely be able to find it in this forest, but she didn't expect that after searching for three days and three nights, she didn't find that sweet and sour red fruit.
Afraid that her father would know that she had lost her precious necklace, Emily did not dare to go home, and for the past three days she has either slept in a tree or in a cave, and can be said to have suffered a lot. In the end, the little girl still did not escape, and was pulled out of the cave by her father and arrested.
After learning that she had not only trespassed into the wizard's territory without permission, but had even lost her precious necklace, Kanrui Winterdew, who was the patriarch, not only severely punished her, but also immediately called her sister Leia Winterlu and asked Leia to accompany her and come here to apologize to the wizard.
“…… I'm sorry, Emily knows it's wrong, the fruit in the field is not the same as the one in the forest, and you can't just eat it indiscriminately. Her father had already taught Emily a lesson, and her sister could testify, so ......" Standing timidly behind her sister with tears in her eyes, Emily pinched the corner of her skirt with her little finger and bowed her head pitifully in apology, "That necklace is really important to Emily...... You, just give it back to me. ”
"She has been wandering in the forest for the past three days, and the patriarch has also given her a severe punishment," Glancing at her sister behind her, Leia looked at Jiang Feng and continued in an apologetic tone, "She has received the punishment she deserves for being naughty, I hope you can forgive her." ”
"Plus, we'll compensate you for your losses." Sighing for her sister who was always in trouble, Leia silently took out a wooden bottle from her arms and handed it to Jiang Feng, "This contains the essence of the Tree of Life, and it only takes three drops to make the seeds planted in the soil take root and sprout, and mature within three days." ”
Taking the small wooden bottle from Leia's hand, Jiang Feng unscrewed the cork, approached the bottle and sniffed it, only to feel a wisp of refreshing fragrance burrowing into the tip of his nose, as if all the pores in his body were slowly relaxing with this surging vitality.
Jiang Feng realized in an instant that the value of this thing was not just as simple as ripening fertilizer! This surging vitality is not only for plants, but also for all living beings in nature.
If you really take this thing to ripen crops, it's called brain watts.
"Is this compensation sufficient?" Leia asked.
"Of course," Jiang Feng unceremoniously put away the small wooden bottle and looked at the little girl hiding behind Leia with a smile on his face, "I'll go back and get that necklace." ”
"No hurry, let's talk about something else first."
"Something else?" Stopping to return to the shelter, Jiang Feng cast an inquiring glance at Leia.
"About the necklace you took." After a moment's pause, Leia glanced at Emily behind her and continued expressionlessly, "We're not here to retrieve it. ”
Jiang Feng was slightly stunned and asked puzzled.
"Didn't you come to get the necklace back? What the hell...... Isn't it something very important to her? ”
He had already scanned the patterns on the necklace, and the relevant data of spiritual energy had also been collected into the database, so it could be said that that thing no longer meant much to him. If it was really important to this half-elf girl, even if there was no so-called compensation, as long as she was willing to apologize sincerely, he would not be so unkind and forcibly leave the necklace behind.
Especially Jiang Feng noticed that after his sister said those words, Emily's expression was obviously even more depressed, and her doll-like delicate face even had a faint hint of paleness.
"Of course, for a half-elf girl, it can even be more important than life," taking out a wooden necklace with a similar texture from the neckline, Leia stared at Jiang Feng expressionlessly, slowly spoke, and continued, "Every half-elf girl will receive this necklace carved from oak from her mother when she is one year old. In our culture, it means 'purity', 'beauty', and 'protection'. ”
The moment he heard this word, Jiang Feng's brain sounded the alarm, and a trace of bad premonition began to appear in his heart.
Especially when he saw Emily's frustrated little face and the complicated expression on Leia's face, he became more and more convinced that he had guessed correctly.
"Once the necklace is put on, it is not easily removed. It will always accompany the half-elf girl for the first half of her life, guarding her as she grows up. ”
"That...... Don't say anything, I'll give it back to her. The more he listened, the more wrong he became, and Jiang Feng sweated on his forehead.
However, Leia didn't pay any attention to what he said, and continued to state word by word in a calm tone, like a repeater with a cassette inserted in it.
“…… Until one day, the girl met the person who could be trusted for life. Only then will she take off the necklace on her chest and give this blessing to the other half of her life. ”
