Chapter Seventy-Six: I Am the System

38.1 per cent for option two, 4.8 per cent for option three, 4.8 per cent for option four, 4.8 per cent for option five and 47.6 per cent for option seven.

……

[Option 7]

[Pretending to be a ghost, pretending that the "system" appeared, saying that as long as she signed up alone, she could help her win the championship]

……

Zheng Zhuo just thought "stop thinking about those strange things", but the reality is that what is in front of him is a more evil answer.

“……”

“…… Pretend that the system ......"

Zheng Zhuo had still read some stories, otherwise, he wouldn't have had this fleeting thought. A "system" is an interface or mysterious sound that appears out of nowhere and can provide information...... Other words......

Pretending to be the [collective subconscious]?

Zheng Zhuo glanced at the open [Collective Subconscious].

"Do you count the system?"

“……”

Of course, no one could have answered him.

Zheng Zhuo thought, this probably doesn't count. After all, it is not so much that the [collective subconscious] is helping itself, but that it is helping the [collective subconscious].

If you succeed in convincing the other party, this is indeed the most effective means. The process of subsequent help will also go smoothly.

But......

“…… Is it really that good to pretend......"

He looked helplessly at the [collective subconscious] and at his watch.

“…… Well? ”

After looking at it a few times, he felt that there was a faint similarity between the two.

……

"Hah."

Walking alone on the path leading to the library, Tao Tao, the former chief of the Magic Academy, sighed.

She looked at her watch and counted the dates.

"It's been three months since I became a [Dark Attribute]...... Registration is closed in five days......"

So far, she has been saying to herself, "If you can catch up, you can definitely catch up, give up and it's over", so she persevered. But at this time, she didn't have the slightest clue, and even she, who had always been optimistic, began to retreat.

"I can't even participate in the competition...... Can't you really be a Magister......

As the date approached, she became extremely depressed. Becoming a Magister had been her dream since she was a child, but fate played a big joke on her: the dream disappeared without a trace in time for the tentacles.

"Like my classmates say...... Maybe it's better to drop out......"

Just when Tao Tao began to gradually slide into negative thinking.

Ding dong.

She received a message on her phone.

[Want to become a Magister again?] 】

Very short sentence. It was sent from a school account. The account does not have an avatar and does not have a name.

"What?"

Tao Tao clicked on the homepage of this account. It was a blank slate, nothing was written.

"Liars? Can't you...... This is indeed a school account, yes. The information security conditions of the Udoma Magic Academy are among the top in the country...... There's no way anyone can get their hands on the school account......"

She has also been in contact with many teachers and school workers, but she has never seen anyone in such a blank state.

Just when Tao Tao was surprised, this account sent another message.

[Yes / No]

"Ah......h

Be! Yes, of course!

When Tao Tao had this idea, the watch that could read the magic guide sent the message.

【Yes】

"Ahh Oops, so excited...... However, the reply should be fine, right? ”

Ding dong.

The message reappeared.

【Mission】

【Single Application Academy Competition】

【Rewards】

【Re-entry as a Magister】

"What!?"

Seeing the message from the mysterious account, Tao Tao let out a surprised sound.

……

“…… That should be fine, right......? ”

Hearing Tao Tao's cry of surprise, Zheng Zhuo, who was hiding around the corner, quietly poked his head out.

How could a system suddenly appear? Zheng Zhuo is not a young woman in the pure white world, but she does not have the ability to notify others on the spot.

However, the inexplicable message was indeed sent by him. The blank account is also his - he has not yet passed the three-star month trial period, and the information of the account has not been entered into the terminal. As a result, his account number is not displayed on the student's watch.

Of course, Tao Tao would not have known about this. Because probationary school workers rarely contact a classmate individually.

"Let's pretend for a moment......"

Zheng Zhuo looked out nervously.

Will Tao Tao believe it?

I really did it only to find out that it was stupid. The mysterious account suddenly said that the task was something......

"What if I go and tell the teacher? No, no, it is generally not said, the greatest possibility is to ignore ...... Yes. ”

Zheng Zhuo saw that Tao Tao seemed to have made a decision. She jerked her head up, and then, trotting, off the path, ran into the school building.

"Ahh

So did she sign up? Zheng Zhuo hurriedly caught up. However, as soon as he entered the school building, there were more people, and he quickly lost his goal.

Did you go to the classroom? Just when Zheng Zhuo thought so and ran through the hallway......

"Huh!?"

There was a commotion in the crowd. A student is the first to look at his watch.

"The chief has signed up?"

"What?"

"You mean that the chief who is cursed and can't be a magister anymore?"

"What's going on, what's going on? Who are you partnering with? ”

"It is a solo participation ......"

"Solo participation!?"

All right. Now Zheng Zhuo doesn't have to go to Tao Tao, he already understands the answer.

"Whew."

The most basic step has finally been taken. Zheng Zhuo put his mind at ease......

Wait a minute.

He suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the chat history.

【Rewards】

【Re-entry as a Magister】

"Ahh

In order to attract Tao Tao to sign up, Zheng Zhuo didn't think about it just now, and wrote down the reward she wanted to have the most.

Now, the other party has signed up. Other words......

"I have to ...... Give her a way to get started...... Is that right? ”

……

In the early hours of the next morning.

It's dark. Teachers haven't arrived yet, and students are hurrying to enjoy their last sleep.

Only the school union arrived at school so early. The school workers who arrive at the school usually choose to take care of the garden and prepare the site during this time......

…… Instead of looking for books in the library.

Library.

"It hurts! This e-bookshelf is too counterintuitive. ”

In the faint light of the morning light, Zheng Zhuo was busy beside the e-bookshelf, he quickly opened the display screen that entered the books and materials that could only be consulted by the faculty and staff, and kept being hit by the pop-up screen because he was not used to standing.

"I've already made an e-bookshelf, why do you need to make an open action......?"

He's really not used to panels that pop up when in use.

"Forget it. The most important thing is to check the information, I'll take a look at ......"

Zheng Zhuo has seen many academic reports. Presented here is the research done by the Magi scholars. Generally, only teachers are eligible to download them. Students can request a copy of the material by requesting it from the teacher.

But what few people know is that school workers also have permission to download. Because the debugging of the input of the magic bookshelf is the responsibility of the school worker.

"Anyway, I've got to show her something first......

Zheng Zhuo thought so, and quickly searched for keywords such as "dark attribute", "light attribute", and "attribute change".

Zheng Zhuo is actually not very sure, he can find an effective way just by relying on this. He thought, time is pressing, whether Tao Tao can master the method through information is not the most important.

Even if Tao Tao didn't research anything, he still had a backup method: research the site mechanism to help her.

The point now is to convince her that this mysterious account, this so-called "system", is reliable.

To this end, he went to find all kinds of books. It has to be a book that looks reliable and has operational value......

"Search, Search...... Well? ”

A basic paper called "What is Warcraft" caught Zheng Zhuo's attention.

In Warcraft-related papers, the word frequency of "dark attribute" is very high, what's going on?

He clicked on the paper and flipped through it quickly.

“…… This......! ”

For the first time, Zheng Zhuo systematically looked at the creature "Warcraft". This is a unique enemy in this world, which will suddenly appear from mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts and oceans, and its whole body is pitch black, extremely aggressive, and the number is endless, and the [Magic Guide Stone] is buried in its body, allowing them to use a variety of powerful elemental energy attacks.

The existing magic civilization is all built on the body of Warcraft. Magisters capture their Guiding Stones, learn their attacks, and derive their own technology from them.

But where did the monster come from? Wizard scholars have been studying this for hundreds of years.

This paper makes the point that Warcraft is born from the shadows. It was not an ordinary shadow, but a state of the [Dark Attribute].

In other words, the sun produces the [light attribute], which is known as the "highest attribute", and the [light attribute] submerges into the earth and is conceived in the earth as the [dark attribute]. [Dark Attribute] overflows the surface and gives birth to a demonic beast.

Other words......

“…… Dark attributes...... Can you summon Warcraft? ”

Zheng Zhuo looked at the date of the paper. This paper has only recently been presented and is cited quite rarely. It can be said that it is a conjecture that has not yet been proven, and it has not received much attention in the academic community.

Zheng Zhuo clicked on the citation link of this paper. The author has published several other articles, none of which, it seems, are recognized: to put it simply, no one reads them.

Zheng Zhuo found that the author also put forward an interesting point: the dark attribute can be wrapped around the body of the Warcraft and strengthen the Warcraft. Examples have been observed.

So, can you do the same with a magister?

“…… Let's take a look at the others first. ”

Zheng Zhuo continued to search for "dark attributes" and "actual combat", and this time, he saw a more mainstream view.

The dark attribute is destructive to traditional magic weapons. So, can this be used as a theory to destroy the opponent's weapons?

"That seems to be more applicable."

Zheng Zhuo thought. This is a more theoretically supported example. Moreover, it is also quite suitable for pottery.

After all, even if her magic adaptability is gone, her combat skills and combat instincts are still there. Destroying the opponent's weapon and then entering hand-to-hand combat depends on each person's ability, and the odds of victory are also very high.

Finally, there is the "Transformation on Attributes".

With the previous experience, Zheng Zhuo deliberately searched for some recently written papers. Sure enough, there was a new discovery.

In some special ways - such as special energy training, cursed items, special potions - it is possible to complete the change of attributes.

But there have been no cases of changing back after the change.

However, the paper mentions that the researchers have conducted some experiments on the recovery of attributes on Warcraft, and there are no successful cases, but in only one case, there are Warcrafts with dual attributes at the same time.

"Dual attributes."

Zheng Zhuo was thoughtful.

……

If he could, he wanted Tao Tao to learn it all. However, after registration, there are only 10 days left before the start of the first race.

Tao Tao was not confident, so it was better for her to choose a direction to study. Just give her one way, and it will seem more credible.

So......

Which document do you want to pass on to her?

……
