Chapter Twenty-Four: Here's the Thing
Finally got the job at hand!(Played the game)
Edison, who was relaxed, naturally fell into deep sleep + meditation, and when he woke up again, the sky outside the window was already bright, and Edison, who felt that his heart was very good, soon came to the "wellhead" of Ines's house after exercising, which was for the slime's residence, and there was a small amount of water in it to help keep it moist.
The whole "mouth well" is more like a small puddle dug by hand, and the average farmer will have two or three "mouth wells" in their homes, not the slimes they raise, but the water in the "mouth well" after a long time of soaking in the slime, and then find a good weather to dry, you can get some yellow and swaying crystals.
These crystals are the salt eaten by the people in the interior of this world, and this salt is called "yellow salt" among the people. However, if you eat this salt for a long time, although you will not suffer from Edison's "big neck disease" in his previous life, it will also make people's muscles weak, not to mention maintaining any daily labor and soldier training, so no matter how poor the inland civilians, they still have to buy some sea salt regularly to eat.
......
Edison came to the well, and at a glance, the original two slime cores had disappeared, replaced by two small, round spherical liquids that were slowly condensing, and there were vaguely strangely shaped bubbles forming inside.
At this moment, their structure is very similar to the paramecium that Edison had seen under the microscope in his previous life, but the next moment these bubbles disappeared, or hidden, and then a complete slime body was formed, Edison looked at the pocket watch he had prepared, and it was since yesterday when he gave things to Frey. It's been about 15 hours.
"It seems that Uncle Frey is right! his slime saliva is indeed very useful, and it is usually necessary to rely on the slime's saliva to breed new slimes. How do you have to say it for 20 hours. While muttering to himself, Edison unceremoniously grabbed the newborn slime.
While the consciousness of the creatures inside is still a little chaotic. Edison's mental power flowed into the slime's body like mercury.
In an instant, a delicate and beautiful magic pattern map was displayed in front of Edison's eyes, this is the miracle of creation in this world, the magic pattern map, and it is also the basis for all magic to be performed by magic.
Originally, with Edison's magician level, he was not qualified to see these things, and magic patterns were a domain exclusive to sixth-order magicians, and it was also the beginning of their beginning to create, improve, and optimize their magic step by step.
But who made Edison's soul mysterious enough and supported by the power of faith, albeit with his spiritual power. It wasn't enough for him to look at these things beyond his own level for a long time, but a short stare and properly optimize the first-level magic structure that he had memorized was more than enough.
It should be explained here that the so-called "magic pattern map" is not something like a DNA map, but a natural miracle formed by the magic pattern structure that everything has, and it exists in every inch of this world, even the occasional storm and tsunami can be seen as a change in the magic pattern.
Among them, the magic pattern of life is delicate and exquisite, and the complex and fragile structure sustains the operation of life.
The magic pattern atlas that belongs to the natural existence of mountains, rivers, storms and lightning is quaint and atmospheric. Some are simple and straightforward, while others are complex and cumbersome like a labyrinth - but the existence of these magic patterns all shows a magical charm that belongs to nature.
As for the so-called magic, it is actually a part of the written magic pattern structure that is recorded in the brain. To understand Edison's mode of thinking, we can probably think of these magic as the product of APP (software) after studying magic patterns.
Then when needed, through magic and psychic power. Drive all kinds of magic elements to run according to the fixed App program, and your soul is like a mobile phone (computer). Magic is power, and mental power is your finger (mouse). Then the magician can tap to obtain the unique magical power of a certain magical beast, or some kind of natural power blessing from the eternal existence!
Of course, there are many differences between the use of magic and the use of mobile phones (computers), which are only described here for ease of understanding.
In addition to the most primitive imitation enhancement, the magician can also modify, stack, and splice through his own adjustments...... and other means, and finally created a completely artificial magic pattern map structure.
Although the power and function of the man-made magic pattern structure are difficult to say, it may be very weak, but the effect must be very unique, can change people's lives, some of the power will also be very strong, will cause great changes to the environment, but also can change our lives.
This is just like the invention of the computer and the atomic bomb in Edison's previous life, both of which are man-made products, the former has almost no direct attack power, but indirectly brought the world into a new era, and the latter directly laid the foundation for the existing pattern of the world -- general and (nuclear) peace and local war.
......
In Edison's mind, a unique [greasy technique] magic pattern structure texture instantly reacted, after a few breaths, Edison found 3 places in the slime's magic pattern map that were similar in structure and could be changed, and after a little hesitation, Edison chose one of them as the target to optimize the structure.
As the optimization began, the structure of the magic pattern that originally belonged to the [Greasy Technique] changed little by little, and it coincided closer to the selected place, and began to slowly cover or devour the slime's magic pattern.
The slime in Edison's hand trembled slightly, as if he had suffered great pain, and after three minutes, he withdrew his mental power, but the slime's structural form completely collapsed, and finally turned into a puddle of viscous liquid that slowly flowed from Edison's fingers to the ground.
At this time, he also opened his eyes, exhaled slightly, and said to himself, "Did you succeed?"
After saying that, Edison naturally stimulated the [Greasy Technique], and suddenly there was an extra layer of oily covering on the ground, and if nothing else, this layer of covering would only make the person walking on it stand unsteadily.
But this time, after Edison's optimization. He touched it lightly with his fingers, only to find that it had become sticky. And the stickiness has also become larger, comparable to some spider silk. If the average person walks up, the speed will be greatly limited.
Experiment it again. Edison also found that the resistance and duration of the entire [Greasy Technique] to flames have also become longer, and under normal circumstances, the [Greasy Technique], after the magician releases it, has extremely weak resistance to flames, is easy to evaporate, and there is no deliberate manipulation of mental power, it will disappear naturally within 30 seconds, and this time under the same magic power. Edison found that the greasy technique was slightly baked by the flame for 17 seconds before disappearing, and without baking, it could last for a full 120 seconds before disappearing naturally.
This discovery inspired Edison! Yes, the "Devil's Vine" did not lie to him, even if he did not use the magic study scroll and magic study room, Edison could create his own magic little by little in this way......
However, this method is actually very frustrating, because it is equivalent to having an existing application platform (magic guild) that can download the app. But you have to learn to code on your own, and then write your own app program little by little.
Let's not mention it here, how long does it take to develop a complete second-level magic at the speed of a first-level magician. A lot of the process alone is just a repetition of something that has already been discovered by previous people.
For example, the research that made [Greasy Technique] more sticky, and now Edison is just using slimes when they were just born. The cohesive nature of the body and the highest density in the body make slight adjustments to his magic using magic patterns.
In fact. Among the many types of magic, there have long been similar cases: for example, the second-level magic [Slowness Trap]...... [Spider Silk] at the same level as the Greasy Technique...... and a weakened version of the level 0 trick [Cleansing]...... All other related magic can be regarded as variants of [Greasy Technique]. It would have been unwise for Edison to focus on this area too early.
After all, although there are some places in magic that you have to accumulate and learn by yourself, only by learning to stand on the shoulders of giants can you stand higher and go further in the future.
Besides, Edison couldn't just kill a monster every time he optimized a spell! You know, if the optimization of the magic pattern structure just now was done by the magician, the slime would not die at all, and the number of times it could be split was reduced at most.
In fact, many magicians do not need the entire living beast to participate in the study of the magic pattern on the body of a living being, as long as there are some wreckage or specific biological organs.
But fortunately, the purpose of Edison's initial experiment was not to start any magic pattern research in advance, he just wanted to change the name of the current app running in English.
Under the induction of mental power, Edison observed the position of the structure of his current [Greasy Technique]. Sure enough, the original thing similar to the English icon, under the deliberate modification of Edison's spiritual power, has become three big words in Chinese - greasy technique.
Although changing the name has hardly improved Edison's combat power, it is indeed more in line with his nature to use a Chinese interface.
In fact, Edison himself realized that the inability to comprehend the second spell in the past was really not a problem in the language circuit, but a kind of unconfident conceptual constraint and self-denial.
After all, Edison in his previous life was so scummy in learning English, even after he went to another world, in an all-English environment, it took him 3 years to become able to have unhindered conversations, and before the age of 3, he had been pretending to be a "stutter".
As a result, he is like a baby elephant, it was tied to a rope when it was a child, and it couldn't break free, and when it grew up, even if it could break free, it wouldn't try again, maybe it was stupid, but it was true.
Sometimes, the multi-spelling technique of magic is just that, if you believe you can do it, you can really do it, and if you don't believe that you can do it, then no matter how much experience and skill you have been told about your predecessors, you still can't do it.
......
At this moment, Edison felt that the knot that had entwined his two lives was slowly untied, and he stood at the "mouth of the well" with his head up at a 45-degree angle, as if he had the illusion that he was going to fly up in the next moment!
But at this moment, Carl's voice suddenly came with a little trembling and out of tune: "Big brother, what are you doing?!!!!"
Well, let's shift the whole perspective to Carl's.
......
When he got up early in the morning, Carl saw a person standing in front of the "wellhead" of his house, so Carl got dressed and planned to go out to say hello, but as soon as he walked in, he found that:
What was the man doing with the newborn slime?
Suddenly, the newborn slime in the man's hand exploded into a puddle of liquid, and then with a wave of his hand, there was an extra layer of viscous stuff on the ground, and then the man seemed to be obsessed, poking with his fingers, roasting with fire, and finally pinching the stopwatch and not knowing what was being recorded.
Eventually, the man began to look up at the sky and think about life......
Undoubtedly, such a move caused a huge impact on Carl's young mind.
Because Edison's series of actions are like dissecting and whipping a newborn slime in front of a child who has been fond of slimes since childhood.
Do you want to imagine that a dog lover suddenly found out one day that there was a Super Saiyan in front of his house who was abusing a puppy, and finally took out a cigarette and lit it after killing, posing with a posture and expression of "Life is really lonely as snow!...... What a magical picture this is!
And what a groove Carl is in his heart at the moment!
...... (To be continued.) )
PS: (PS1: As the protagonist's understanding of the world and his understanding of magic continue to deepen, his worldview will definitely find all kinds of changes, can I say that I want to bring that hard wound back, how many brain cells died when this chapter was written? and feel what's weird, I just can say more inclusive, after all, it's a big challenge for a person to build a world itself, plus the more words you write later, the more difficult it is to write, if there are any loopholes that can be remedied later, I will try my best to remedy them!)
(PS2: Today, Wednesday, I looked at the detailed outline, pinched my fingers and counted the chapters, and it is expected that there will be a wave of wonderful content to be delivered, not to mention, the theater in my brain has already started...... )
