68.7 per cent for option two and 31.3 per cent for option three.

……

[Option 2]

[Increases the strength of summons]

Description: Bigger, stronger, bulkier.

……

"I hear students complaining about the inhibition of summons."

Zheng Zhuo said to the engineer.

He certainly hadn't heard such words. However, the time left for Tao Tao is very limited, and Zheng Zhuo wants to seize as many opportunities as possible to strengthen her.

……

After 8 days.

Zheng Zhuo became a frequent visitor to the underground area of the Magic Guidance Academy. He shows up at the elevator entrance on time every day to deliver goods to every area.

"Ah, hello."

"Hello."

He already had a familiar face underground. When the engineers saw him, they greeted him.

And he also confirmed the situation of the venue during this period.

There are a total of eight venues for [First Match: Knockout Round].

[Grassland]: The view is the widest, the site is flat, and there are almost no obstacles.

[Takayama]: Strong winds, few standing spots.

[Hills]: There are many hiding places and shelters.

[Desert]: Open, limited movement speed.

[Swamp]: Obstructed vision, greatly limited movement speed.

[Ocean]: Requires the ability to fly or swim.

[Polar]: It is easier to be exposed on the move.

[Abyss]: There is almost no foothold. Harsh magma conditions cause terrain damage.

At the same time, Zheng Zhuo also confirmed the site allocation system that the engineers were debugging.

The venue allocation system was simpler than he had imagined: students were sent numbers in turn. When the time is up, everyone submits the number, and the number will be ranked in the order of submission. When one field is full, the next one is lined up.

Students don't see the process. But at that time, the school staff can be seen in the background.

(When the time comes, I can monitor this link and send a message indicating when Tao Tao will submit her number so that she can enter a more suitable venue.) ）”

To be honest, Zheng Zhuo was a little worried that using the school system to communicate would be found out afterwards.

But that's for later. After leaving this world.

(As long as you get the trophy...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo made up his mind. He finally looked up at the slowly moving field overhead and left the ground.

……

Back on the surface, it's late. But Zheng Zhuo was not in a hurry. Because he knew that Tao Tao must still be training.

He slowly walked through the darkness of night to the most remote, the smallest, half-abandoned training ground.

“…… Haa, ha...... Hahh......"

Really.

Looking inside from the entrance of the training ground, Tao Tao was the only one left in the field. When Zheng Zhuo arrived, she held her knees with her hands and gasped.

The ground was littered with flowing dark attribute energy and scattered colorless magic stones.

"Is it hard to catch up?"

Zheng Zhuo hid in the shadows, thinking.

These days, he has been observing Tao Tao's progress. After getting the information, although she hesitated, she immediately started practicing. She constantly unleashed the energy of the [Dark Attribute], trying to summon it.

But nothing worked.

The reason is more or less clear to Zheng Zhuo: the dark attribute will destroy the weapon. Therefore, unlike other attributes, it can be magnified in a weapon, and then released in one breath, it can only seep out of the magic guide stone little by little. This decisively led to an underoutput.

In the previous few days of experiments, Tao Tao had already realized that the use of weapons was not feasible.

So, she's been trying to summon empty-handed.

"One more ......!"

Tao Tao stood up holding the colorless magic guide stone.

And compared to weapons, the magic guide stone is a bigger problem.

Looking at the still clear magic guide stone, Zheng Zhuo thought.

In the past few days, Zheng Zhuo has also observed other practice grounds. He saw some students debugging the magic guide stone on the spot, and had a general understanding of the theory of the magic guide stone.

The Magic Guide Stone converts the elemental properties in the Magister's body into energy and stores it in itself. This energy can be activated directly or channeled into the weapon.

Generally speaking, after other elemental energy enters the magic guide stone, it will stay in the magic guide stone. The Magister encapsulates them for later use. The encapsulation process is simple and can be done by ordinary people. In every family, magic stones are also used in this way.

But the dark attribute doesn't. It simply can't stay inside the Magic Stone. Once the [Encapsulation] is applied, it is like squeezing a sponge with one hand, and all the dark attributes will gush out of the magic stone.

[Encapsulation] only takes a few minutes. However, the dark attribute will all be streamed in just a few seconds.

This is also the reason why until now, dark magic has only remained theoretical.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the ground.

The earth is slowly absorbing the dark energy flowing from the surface. But even so, the height of the dark energy in the low-lying part of the field was still high enough for the magic guide stone to soak inside.

This is a manifestation of the saturation of dark energy in the practice field after several days of unremitting effort.

(How long has this girl been trying...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo thinks that he is enough to count a tendon. Unexpectedly, this [Subconscious World] rescue met a guy who was more persistent than himself.

He looked at the nearest low-lying area. There are also several magic guide stones in this low-lying area.

They are perfectly black when soaked in dark energy. However, Zheng Zhuo saw that as soon as Tao Tao was encapsulated, all the energy would leak out and splash in the field.

(Package...... Yes...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo bent down and picked up a magic guide stone. Just by fishing it out of the low-lying area, the black energy inside the magic guide stone began to leak. It was like a plastic bag of water with holes all over it.

"[Encapsulation]."

Zheng Zhuo also gave it a try. Sure enough, as an ordinary person, he can also encapsulate......

Well?

Zheng Zhuo looked at the magic guide stone.

[Encapsulation] succeeded. Half of the dark energy is left in the Magic Stone.

What's going on?

Zheng Zhuo quickly opened the [Subconscious World] panel.

"[Encapsulation]!"

This time, Zheng Zhuo saw it very clearly.

The skill of [Quick Cast] lit up.

Zheng Zhuo reached out again and fished out those magic guide stones soaked in dark energy.

“…… Succeed...... Finish. ”

Even if they were fished out of the water, the dark energy in them did not leak. The black energy remained perfectly inside these transparent stones.

……

【Mission】

[Insist on encapsulation for another 10 minutes]

【Rewards】

【Encapsulated Dark Energy Magic Stone】

……

"Huh!?"

Here we go again, that strange account, strange mission.

In order to practice this unfounded hypothesis, Tao Tao spent almost all of his time before the game. To be honest, Tao Tao has already begun to wonder if this is a prank, and he retreats.

But now, it's here again.

"Every time, when I want to give up......"

Ten minutes. I've been doing this for hundreds of tens.

"How could this be a moment?"

……

Ten minutes later.

Sure enough, there was still no progress.

Just when Tao Tao was depressed and disappointed, he left the training ground......

In the low-lying area of the exit, she found many encapsulated dark energy magic stones.

……

That's the first step.

It's all thanks to Rapid Cast. I didn't expect it to work like this.

Zheng Zhuo, who hid behind the pillars in the distance, watched Tao Tao excitedly rush back to the practice field and open the material "What is Warcraft" he downloaded from the library.

According to the information, the researcher has a conjecture: if you can really summon monsters with dark energy, the specific type of monsters summoned is related to the summoner's expectations at the time, and the stronger and clearer the expectation, the more likely it is to summon monsters.

The proof of this is that the demonic beasts that appear in each region are consciously targeting the battle magisters that have become common in recent times. And the stronger the battle magister, the more demonic beasts will appear after it.

When it comes to injecting powerful thoughts, of course, it is the [Mission] that gives the most confidence.

After all, there's nothing more confident than believing that "if you work hard, you'll succeed."

It's going to start soon. This opportunity must be seized to increase Tao Tao's confidence here and put her into the state where she is most likely to summon a demonic beast.

Zheng Zhuo plans to continue to release [Mission] in one go.

However, you need to choose a good choice in terms of direction.

Now, he knows the general situation of the venue and how to get the players into a particular venue.

In the first game, it is the safest way to specialize in a certain field.

"So ......"
