“...... Are you going to just go on with yourself, or are you going to explain and let me follow suit?"

After being silent for a while, seeing that Benjamin didn't continue, the system asked helplessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Thank you, I'll just be on my own. Naturally, Benjamin will not let go of this opportunity to return the tribute system.

If the "......" system has five senses, it should already have seven senses of smoke at this moment.

It's not that Benjamin is sincere about the system, it's that the cultivation method he just thought of is still just a prototype, and if it doesn't work, he will be ridiculed by the system. And he is indeed a little fed up with the disconnection of the system, and finding some opportunity to cure the system should be beneficial to their future communication.

To get back to the point, through the experiment just now, he already has a more systematic understanding of magic.

The water element is the basis of everything he uses magic. For him, the water element is divided into two types: those that are concentrated in the space of his consciousness and those that are free in the real world. He can sense and communicate with the water element in the real world, but it is difficult to mobilize. recalled that the only time he used the water polo technique in reality before was actually to mobilize the water element in the consciousness space.

The water element in the consciousness space gathers around the magical characters, and Benjamin can control them through the characters. Every time you use magic, you consume a portion of the water element. In other words, the water element stored in the space of consciousness is his "magic power".

The more water elementals he stored, the more and more powerful the magic he could unleash.

Aside from learning new magic, this should be the only way Benjamin can find to make himself stronger. If he could learn new magic, he would choose to learn new magic. But now that he was on his own, how could he learn? He wasn't confident enough to think he could invent magic, so he had to wait for Anne's relics to arrive.

Therefore, simplifying all complex thoughts, the only thing he can do at the moment in front of him is to increase the reserve of the water element in his consciousness space.

So the question is, how to store more water element?

What else can be done, of course, is drawn from the real world.

Looking at the so-called mage's meditation written in general fantasy novels, this is probably the case. Draw magical elements from the world around you and store them to grow your strength.

In fact, whether it's magic, vindictiveness, or something like that, it's a process of storage, accumulation, and qualitative change. Not surprisingly, the same is true of the world in which he lives. As long as he keeps accumulating his magic elements, he can become stronger.

This was the cultivation method of the mage that he himself understood.

"Ah, what a genius I'm in!"

Once again, Benjamin felt inflated.

"So you're really not going to explain it to me?" the system's voice was a little resentful.

"Yes. Benjamin replied very simply.

“......”

Just do it, Benjamin immediately began to try. He closed his eyes and maximized his perception of the water element. Although the air quality in the basement is not good, it is generally a relatively humid place, and there is a lot of water around it. Benjamin struggled to feel these free water elements, and then, trying to communicate with them, trying to absorb them into his own consciousness.

At the beginning of this process, Benjamin was actually a little blind. He didn't know how to absorb the water element, so he instinctively used his mind to try to command the water element, but nothing happened.

But he was not discouraged, and quickly realized the problem:

He shouldn't communicate with the water element, he should communicate with his own consciousness space.

The consciousness space is a very wonderful existence, and it should be used to absorb the water element, otherwise even if he can communicate with the free water element, he can only suck them into his own body - what is the use of sucking them into the body, he is not thirsty.

Benjamin began to sense his own space of consciousness. He did not enter the space, but maintained a semi-entered state, feeling the depth of the space of consciousness while trying to stay in the real world.

It was a rather miraculous state: he was about to enter the space of consciousness, but he was forced to hold on by his will, keeping his vision in the real world. He felt the slowing of his breathing and blood flow, as if his soul had gone out of his body, and looked at him from a bystander angle.

A wonderful feeling arose.

His intuition told him that this was the state.

So, he maintained his condition and waited for a while. As his senses stabilized, he began to try again, to feel the wandering water elementals around him.

Change is sudden.

Whenever Benjamin's perception touches a small piece of water element, that piece of water element will suddenly disappear out of thin air, and in the space of consciousness, a small piece of water element will suddenly appear. The whole process seems to tear apart the space, and the absorption of the water element is only in a short moment, without any process, which makes people feel incredible.

Benjamin, on the other hand, was in uncontrollable ecstasy.

He managed to find a way to absorb the water element!

Every time he absorbed the water element, there would be a cool feeling blowing through his body, as if he was also celebrating his success, so cool that Benjamin couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Driven by this feeling, Benjamin didn't have time to think, and as if he was addicted, he let his perception sweep through the basement over and over again, sucking in all the water elements within the scope of his consciousness.

The space of consciousness, which had just been somewhat dry, was soon filled with the damp water element. After another half an hour, a feeling of fullness came from the space of consciousness, and Benjamin reluctantly stopped absorbing the water element.

He withdrew from that half-conscious, half-realistic state and took a deep breath with a sense of relief from the inside out.

"It's so cool, it's cooler than a big sword!"

He sighed heartily.

“...... This is the cultivation method you have researched?"

At this time, the system also popped up. Having witnessed everything, it obviously understood Benjamin's method, so at this moment, it said it with some resentment.

"Yes, you don't have to say any more, I know I'm a genius, you don't need to praise me. Benjamin shook his hair narcissistically.

“...... No one wants to praise you. ”

Listening to the dull mechanical sound, the system was obviously holding its breath at the moment.

"Well, since you're so insistent, then I can't help it. Come on, don't be stingy with your vocabulary, and praise me hard!" Benjamin was clearly not listening to what the system was saying, still swelling to himself.

The system was silent for a moment, and then, as it seemed, it also went on fire, tripling the entire volume. The same voice as a rock concert sounded in Benjamin's ears:

"No, there is, people, want, praise, you, you, you

Benjamin was stunned by the voice, but he gradually came back to his senses, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"

The system calmed down and said in a normal volume: "No one is going to praise you, your method has failed." ”

Benjamin didn't take it seriously, thinking that the system was just a rebug.

He asked rhetorically, "Where did it fail?"

The system replied, "You can go back to the space of consciousness and see why I said that." ”

Benjamin listened to the system's serious tone, realized that the other party was not joking, and recovered from that fluttering feeling. Confused, he returned to the space of consciousness, where everything was the same, the pitch-black environment, the pale blue characters, and the floating water element......

There seems nothing wrong with that.

Wait a minute...... Business as usual?

Benjamin suddenly realized what the problem was.

The water element in the space of consciousness, as usual, but they should not be the same. Benjamin had been so desperate to absorb the water element just now, and the amount of reserves at the moment should be much more than the so-called "usual"!

Where did all the water elements go?

"In the little moment you were narcissistic, they all drained themselves. The system replied.

"Why is it lost?" Benjamin was a little frustrated, so many water elements were lost at once, making him feel that his efforts were all in vain, and it was a little painful.

"Aren't you a genius? Why are you asking me? "The system seems to have learned the old lady's stunts, and the damage is getting worse and worse.

Benjamin didn't care, but frowned deeply, and said to himself: "No, what is the reason......"

He was lost in thought again.

He had a feeling that the real answer was in his head, that he was just missing something very important that was causing his thoughts to go wrong, like a car missing some very important gear.

What did he miss in such a perfect "storage-accumulation-qualitative change" system?

"Why won't it be lost? People have a good water element in the air, why should it stay in your consciousness space, why don't people lose it?"

While Benjamin was thinking, the system finally seized the opportunity and launched a relentless counterattack against Benjamin.

Benjamin didn't care about the system's words anymore, he was completely lost in thought. The entire cultivation method, the entire consciousness space, went over and over again in his mind. He felt that his thinking was right, and that it was a sure thing to come up with a feasible method.

But...... The method went wrong.

What went wrong?

"Why......"

He began to mumble subconsciously.

"Why, why, why don't you lose, why don't you lose?" systematically learned Benjamin's tone, reciting a nursery rhyme, and laughed at Benjamin in a different way.

may be because the system reads more rhythmically and magically, Benjamin also subconsciously reads along:

"Why...... Why...... Why not lose ......"

Why...... No churn?

Benjamin's mind flashed with inspiration.

That's right, if the extra water elements are lost, what about the left? Why don't they lose them? Why did you keep these water elements and not let them go with them?

Turning his mind around slightly, Benjamin found that the answer he wanted was far away and close at hand.

He looked up at the blue glow ahead. The pale blue light reflected on his face, and on his face, a smile of sudden realization was outlined.

How did he forget the blue triangle!

Everything comes from this triangular magic character. It is it that splits the closed space of consciousness, it is also it that gathers the abundant and lively water element here, it is it that gives Benjamin the power of water element perception, and it is also it that allows Benjamin to summon water balls.

It is it that retains these water elements. And when the water element in the consciousness space exceeds the range of the characters, the excess water elements cannot be retained by the characters. As a result, they are lost on their own in an instant.

Thinking of all this, Benjamin immediately adjusted his cultivation method: accumulating the water element is not the key to becoming stronger, the key to becoming stronger is to strengthen this blue rune, so that it can control more water elemental.

As for how to strengthen this character......

Benjamin thought about it and quickly had an idea. He suddenly summoned a piece of water elemental in his consciousness space, controlling it to float towards the character. It is still a bit difficult to control these water elements out of thin air, and the speed of fluttering is not fast. It took Benjamin a lot of effort for them to get close to the characters.

Under his control, the water element comes into contact with the characters.

The character let out a very different roar than before.

Benjamin felt a flower in front of him, and then, he seemed to enter a pure blue world. All kinds of blue runes surrounded him like celestial bodies, and a mysterious and strange feeling fascinated him.

But it was only for a short moment, he just blinked, and then returned to the dark space of consciousness, as if everything just now was just his hallucination.

What is that?

Benjamin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the triangular characters that were still dangling in the air, and fell into deep thought again. Soon, though, he furrowed his brows and refocused on the water elementals gathered around him. Once again, he controlled the water elemental, drifting towards the blue characters.

This time, the water element touches the character, but nothing happens just now. Benjamin only saw the element of water merge into the character like a river flowing into the ocean.

The characters lit up slightly, and they returned to their previous appearance.

Undeterred, Benjamin began the repetition of the operation. He felt that he had solved the mystery of the consciousness space and the blue characters, and all that was left to do was to prove his idea with reality.

He controls the water elements over and over again, bringing them close to the characters and then being absorbed by them. And this process seems to be a little slow because of his lack of control. Therefore, even in the space of consciousness where time passes unhappily, it takes Benjamin a lot of time.

Until he fused all the water elements in the consciousness space into the runes, in the real world, it had been almost twelve hours.

For twelve hours, if you weren't locked up in the basement, it's hard to go on like this without being disturbed.

And when the system told Benjamin that twelve hours had passed, Benjamin was quite surprised. Although the process was boring and repetitive, for some reason, he felt so immersed in it that he couldn't even feel the passage of time.

This magical feeling deepened his confidence.

It was a feeling similar to the one he had felt when he first saw magic, as if something was calling him. If it weren't for the right approach, he would never have felt this way.

Thinking of this, he raised his head again and stared at the triangular characters flashing in the space of consciousness.

The characters have finally changed. It became even more dazzling, and the blue light was like a bright star, silently confirming Benjamin's guess.

But that wasn't enough, he looked at the characters, ready to begin the final verification.

After resting for a while, he waited for the depleted water element in the space of consciousness to slowly fill up again, and waited for about another half hour. Eventually, the water elementals around them had almost recovered, and they were even denser than before.

He reached out, aimed at the character, and once again pronounced the spell of water polo.

With the crisp "ding" sound of the characters and the surging of the water elemental, a new water ball appeared in his palm, more than twice as large as the previously summoned water ball.

Benjamin looked at the huge water balloon in his hand, and finally, showed a satisfied smile:

"Look, slap in the face, I'm a genius. ”
