After connecting the contact, Zhou Heng's voice came: "What are you doing?" ”

"I just finished training and I'm going to eat......"

"Come to the institute, a few friends from the church came over and brought some otherworldly delicacies, let's try it together."

Hearing the otherworldly food, Zhou Lu couldn't help but be a little curious. Anyway, it was fine, so I took the elevator to the research institute on the fifth basement floor. In the lounge next to the research institute, Zhou Lu saw his brother, with a small stove on the table, and some white pastries and meat slices next to the stove. With the tantalizing sizzle of barbecue, the aroma of barbecue fills the room.

"These are ......"

"Let's try these, this kind of Cheng dù is just right now." Zhou Heng said, "This is the white fish cake of the other world, these are the wild boar meat of the cold land in the north, and they are all very famous delicacies on the Continent of Wind. ”

"I know, the white fish cake is the kind of prop used to return the demon at level 50......" Zhou Lu immediately recognized it, "There are also cold wild boar, I have also seen it in the game...... It's really similar. ”

White fish cake is a prop in "The Land of the Wind" that can be used to make zuò with cooking skills, which can increase the speed of the character's magic recovery in a short time; The Chill Boar is an in-game monster that drops ingredients that can be sold to players who open a restaurant in Happy Shop. Both of these things are famous delicacies from another world; Because there is a task that needs to be taken care of by the church people recently, a few acquaintances have brought some souvenirs from other worlds.

Before the cold wild boar meat was roasted, Zhou Lu tried to taste the white fish cake first. In the game, this kind of food can only be made after the cooking skill is upgraded to the highest, although in reality, it seems that there is no accompanying magic restoration effect. But it tastes very delicious in the mouth. After biting into the crispy surface layer. An unfamiliar scent poured into his mouth; The peculiar taste of freshness and tenderness is completely different from any other food on the planet. Zhou Lu wiped out a piece of white fish cake in two bites.

After saying "delicious" twice, Zhou Lu sandwiched another piece; When he looked up, he saw that Zhou Heng was not eating, but looking at himself with his chin on his back.

"Hey, brother, don't you want to eat?"

"I've eaten it." Zhou Heng said, "Speaking of which, after the handover of work is completed today, I am finally free." ”

"Oh...... No wonder we had time to have lunch together. ”

"It's true that the NSA people helped a lot. Venia is in charge of the rest. I had nothing to do myself. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Lu took another bite of the white fish cake.

"I didn't have anything to do just now, I took a look at the number of battles in your last mission."

"Huh?" Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment, "What count?" ”

"When you fought that day, you expressed the number of jù." Zhou Heng said, "Each 'Silver Moon Sword' has an information collection device, and although the 'Silver Moon Sword' you carry with you is damaged, there are also some relevant records in the liaison you brought back. ”

"Oh......"

Listening to Zhou Heng's words, Zhou Lu couldn't help but wonder if he had made any mistakes recently or done anything wrong; Thinking of the last time I rushed forward for the task, I couldn't help but feel a little empty. But I heard Zhou Heng continue:

"I think your appearance in the battle has some flaws."

"What flaw?"

"It's not your problem, it should be that your ability has some congenital deficiencies." Zhou Heng said. "Maybe I can find a way to solve it for you."

"Inadequate?" Zhou Lu's heart moved, "Are you talking about the problem of energy depletion?" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Heng said. "This kind of ability of yours should be at the limit of your ability. I think in the last battle, after you used two large spells, the magic couldn't keep up. ”

"Indeed...... After using Starfall Rain once, the mana starts to run low. Zhou Lu asked, "Is there a way to solve it?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Regarding superpowers, there are some restrictions on their use. We can use the rules, but it's absolutely impossible to tamper with them. Behind each rule, there is a complete set of energy operation system; This innate nature cannot be changed. ”

Zhou Lu was eating, and what Zhou Heng said did not react for a while; But Zhou Heng continued to ask:

"As an aside, you know this power that you have, where does its destructive power come from? Is it just the calories you get from eating? ”

Because he had never thought about this kind of question before, Zhou Lu shook his head: "I don't know ......"

"First of all, make sure that the conservation of energy is also in the other world." Zhou Heng said, "The world where energy is not conserved will be completely different from the structure of our world, and there will be no possibility for zài to communicate with our world. Although their energy composition may be somewhat different from that of our world, on the whole, there is certainly no energy that appears out of thin air. However, the calories obtained from food can only supplement the daily needs of our daily life, and if they are used in battle, they are absolutely not enough. ”

"And where does our energy come from?" Zhou Lu also questioned, "I feel that after using magic, I don't feel hungry, and I don't have any load on my body...... But it's not that difficult to use, just because I had the idea of wanting to use superpowers, I naturally used them. ”

"Yes, whether it is otherworldly magic or immortal magic, it is a wonderful process that can only be completed in a specific world and under specific rules. It's like thunder and rain," Zhou Heng said, "The essence of every energy exchange is more than what we seem. Without the moisture cycle and the influence of the monsoon, there would be no rain, and without the process of power generation, transmission and voltage transformation, the light bulb would not shine. What we see is only the superficial phenomenon of light and rain. ”

"You mean...... Without the original world system, our superpowers cannot be used? ”

"Yes, the limitations of different worlds on capabilities are not just rules. In a world where there is no corresponding energy system, it is impossible to use a superpower that is not universal, even if it has the same rules. ”

Zhou Lu wondered, "But how are we fighting with these things now?" ”

"Of course, it's an energy simulation under the protection of the rules." Zhou Heng said. "It's like making a rainfall. It doesn't need to be simulated enough to subvert the entire energy system. In simple terms. To make a light bulb glow, you only need to provide the power to keep the bulb running; When providing electricity, it is not necessary to build a complete energy supply system with power stations, transformers, and transmission lines, but may only need a battery. ”

As the two spoke, the meat was already roasted. The golden slices of meat sizzle on the stove and exude an enticing aroma; Zhou Lu took a piece and put it in his mouth. And Zhou Heng continued:

In other words, the results of our research can only make one rule work in our world, but it cannot change its original nature. And your superpowers. In fact, it is just an expression of energy. ”

The taste of wild boar in the cold land is also very good, Zhou Lu tastes these things that cannot be eaten on the earth, but he doesn't pay much attention to the things that Zhou Heng said.

"So that's how we can use superpowers here......"

"Hmm. With this in mind, it's time to mention the pros and cons of your superpowers. Zhou Heng said, "At this stage, the energy in our hands is not completely unlimited. If you think about saving energy as much as possible, what kind of capabilities do you think are more excellent and practical? ”

"Hmm......" Zhou Lu thought of the defect of the magical girl necklace's lack of energy, and replied, "It should be that in the case of limited power, the ability with more comprehensive effects and fewer weaknesses is more excellent, right?" That's the case. It doesn't waste too much energy, and it can also achieve the maximum combat effect. ”

However, Zhou Heng waved his hand. Dismissed her speculation.

"On the contrary, the more energy constraints, the better the ability to save energy. For superpowers, it wouldn't be a bad thing to just spend more energy on combat; However, in the process of energy conversion, there will always be some loss and waste. Some have the ability to exert one force, but only need to waste two parts of energy; However, some people have the ability to do their part, and they need to waste seventy, eighty, or even hundreds of energy. Compared with the latter, the former's strategic advantages are obviously a little more prominent. And the ratio of their energy loss has little to do with the strength of the ability itself. ”

"I see......," Zhou Lu asked, "In other words, the greater the defective ability, the higher the efficiency of use?" ”

"It can also be said that any kind of superpower is a specific process of entropy increase. No matter what kind of world they are in, they are means of using energy that appears under certain rules. Zhou Heng said, "Some worlds have a harsh energy environment, so in order to adapt to the problem of insufficient energy replenishment, there will be some normal phenomena such as the depletion of magic power. Regardless of the rules, the energy that occurs under such conditions tends to be more efficient. Of course, there are also abilities that appear in worlds that can be used without any restrictions; In this kind of world, the energy is relatively abundant, and the abilities that appear will definitely be more powerful and comprehensive. But these abilities are not so outstanding in terms of saving. ”

Zhou Lu didn't understand and stopped chopsticks. "Why?"

"Natural selection. Some abilities tend to be very powerful, but too loose energy circulation can make them very inefficient. A typical example is that some cultivation and fantasy worlds with a high level of strength, the energy required to maintain a superpower person under this world system can sometimes supply hundreds of other system abilities of the same strength to carry out activities. The reason for this is that the energy rules of their world are relatively relaxed, and under the same combat power, the energy they consume is much more luxurious than the energy under other rules. Zhou Heng said, "You should understand now, right?" For combat, strength is not a qiē; It's very normal for your necklace to have this kind of problem. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Lu nodded, "Then my necklace will have this problem of energy depletion, does it mean that its energy use efficiency is very high?" ”

"It's not very high, it's basically the same as the average efficiency." "Because that's what it is, I don't know how to keep it that efficiency without changing it." So to solve this problem, let's start with some other props. ”

After saying so much, in the end, it was summed up as "I can't help your brother" - Zhou Lu couldn't help but be a little frustrated when she heard this, and continued to eat meat. Zhou Heng took out an information board. continued to think of ideas for Zhou Lu.

"There are a few other power-ups you can use to fill the lack of energy; Like the kind of magnetic device I gave you that day. Based on usage feedback. It's still pretty good. ”

"Well, I've tried," Zhou Lu said, "It's not very easy, but you should be able to ...... after a while."

"You used to be from the Department of Magic, and you may be a little uncomfortable with your ability to suddenly switch to the Department of Science." Zhou Lu nodded, and suddenly had an idea, "That's right." I've got a new prop over there, maybe you'll like it. ”

"What props?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Zhou Heng said, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat meat. The taste of otherworldly souvenirs is very good, although I have eaten it before, I can't help but taste a few more pieces. After a while, after Zhou Lu was full, Zhou Heng took her to the research institute next door. Then he turned out a somewhat familiar ring and threw it to Zhou Lu.

"What is this?" Zhou Lu asked, and then reacted, "Isn't this a small dark ring?" Didn't you ruin one last time......"

Recently. In order to prove the special effect on this necklace, Zhou Heng once appeared in front of Zhou Lu. used rule rejection to destroy a magical girl's dark ring; However, now, I actually saw another one here - I still remember that Zhou Heng told her last time that this ring would be as many as possible, but I didn't expect another one from the other world to come in a blink of an eye. How many little darkness have lost their rings, and who will save their world? Thinking of this, Zhou Lu couldn't help grinning, but heard Zhou Heng say:

"Since the power of one magical girl is not enough, it is better to use the power of two magical girls. I roughly researched it.,Although these two magical girl powers belong to the same system.,But there's no conflict between each other.。 After you use up the energy of one magical girl medium, you can immediately transform into another magical girl to fight. ”

"Uh......"

"How?" Zhou Heng said with some pride, "Since the power of other systems is not used to it, then simply use the power of your own system." That way, you don't need to spend time getting familiar with other skills. ”

That being said, it still seems a little inappropriate to keep changing. Hearing Zhou Heng say, "If it's not enough to change two kinds of magical girls, let's have a few more", and he also wants to take out the transformation props of other magical girls for Zhou Heng, Zhou Lu hurriedly said that two kinds are enough.

At the request of Zhou Heng, Zhou Lu became the kind of magical girl represented by Xiao Dark in the animation, and then tried her skills. The magical girl transformed into this ring is a little different from Zhou Lu's original transformation, and after the transformation, she will become an image wearing a black dress and a black top hat like a circus magician. As a transformation prop for the main character in the anime, this ring comes with a lot more skills; However, I don't know if I feel a little embarrassed to be stared at by my brother, or if I am not used to using this after getting used to the magic effect of the magic necklace, Zhou Lu can't help but feel a little awkward when she always wears this. Using the skills that come with this ring, it always feels a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it's just not used to it, right?

After tossing like this for a long time, Zhou Lu gradually mastered the specific use of several skills that come with this transformation; Although Zhou Heng was by his side to guide, Zhou Lu gradually reacted, his own brother actually had little experience in combat, and he had been 'real yàn' for most of the day, and the effect was not as fast as training with Qin Yue. Just like to command blindly, it happened that Vignia came in with a few foreigners and seemed to have something serious to discuss, so Zhou Lu lifted her transformation and left as if she were fleeing.

chatted with my brother for a long time, and gained another magical girl transformed into a magic medium; Back to Qin Yue, Zhou Lu also began to think about the situation in the battle after that. Although it always feels a little wrong for a person to become two magical girls, this method is also a way to solve his current problems. And the days began to go on like this, and he trained with Qin Yue again that night, and by the way, he listened to a practical lecture specially conducted by a high-level priest with Venia. In the last few days, the church has sent some people to the earth to help, and before going to war, they have to go through some training and courses; Because Herelli was very interested, Zhou Lu went to see it together.

The church's speech is still very infectious, and after listening to a class, Zhou Lu herself is about to become a believer in light. Even when he went on a mission the next day, Zhou Lu was still discussing the relationship between faith and the power of magic with Herelli - the faith of the church has always been a real thing, and if you want to become stronger, you have to be more religious.

However, although discussing such things, Zhou Lu also understood that he was not from another world after all. In this battle, you have to test your newfound skills well. With this in mind, Zhou Lu took Herelli into the spiritual realm; However, the skill attempt in the spiritual realm was not very smooth.

It's not that the enemy is too strong and there is no room for the newly acquired skills to be used, but that the enemy is too weak. This time, the enemy was still a monster of third-level strength, and when Zhou Lu arrived, he had already been beaten half-crippled by the members of the National Security Bureau at the scene; Before Zhou Lu could use all his magic power, he threw two starlight blast bombs, and the monster had already fallen miserably.
