Chapter 43 Is This a Bond?

There is time for manpower, but there is no limit to truth.

In this world where knowledge can summon magic spirits, and magic spirits can produce miracles, magicians' pursuit of knowledge is almost an instinct engraved deep in their souls. But when magicians continue to pursue knowledge, a natural barrier stands in front of them - learning efficiency.

No matter what race or realm a magician is, their learning methods remain the same: memory, understanding, and mastery. Magicians of different races have their own advantages. The Wukong tribe with naturally sharp eyes is good at memory, the elves with powerful souls are good at understanding, and the orcs with keen intuition are good at mastering. Although they are not equal, all races have become magicians. possible.

However, when magicians step into the virtual realm, they will find how ridiculous their racial superiority is in the face of the immeasurable amount of knowledge.

No matter how talented they are, the efficiency with which they acquire knowledge is like drinking up the ocean of knowledge with a straw. The only difference is the thickness of the straw.

Magicians have thought of many ways to do this, such as inventing miracles such as 'photographic memory', 'thinking acceleration', and 'mind-to-mind understanding' to increase efficiency; or extending lifespan and using a long time to make up for the lack of learning efficiency.

The growing pursuit of knowledge and backward learning efficiency are the existential contradictions that magicians can never solve.

But the virtual realm has already prepared a solution for the magician.

"This is an experience orb of the Light Faction."

Sonia gently held the bright and transparent bead, her voice was light, as if she was afraid that louder words would hurt it: "As long as you absorb it, even people who know nothing about the light faction can immediately possess it. Gain silver-level knowledge of light and become a magician specializing in light."

"After returning to reality, as long as you study and organize the knowledge a little, you can even summon the light magic spirit with your strength. Because it provides the magician with not only 'illusory' knowledge, but also 'actual' experience—— The experience that Hu Zhaolong has."

"If magic spirits are only valuable but not marketable, then experience orbs are truly priceless."

There was endless fascination in Sonia's eyes, "No matter how poor a magician is, he will not sell experience orbs, and no matter how generous a magician is, he will be greedy for experience orbs. Although experience orbs can also bring out the virtual realm, few magicians will do this. Do——The moment the experience orb is obtained, the magician has already absorbed it.”

Almost every legendary magician has absorbed a large number of experience orbs. It is precisely because of the existence of experience orbs that magicians have the possibility to master the knowledge of each faction at the same time, thereby innovating the knowledge of the factions, creating new miracles, summoning new magic spirits, and even creating new factions.

The magician civilization can reach the level of development it has today, and the contribution of the experience orb is indispensable.

Ash could understand the wonder of the Experience Orb, but he couldn't understand Sonia's excitement.

"You make it sound like this orb is very precious, but didn't we get one so easily?"

Sonia took a deep breath and recited three times in her mind, 'The viewer is a mentally retarded trumpet', before calmly explaining: "Indeed, experience orbs are not hard to come by in theory. They can be dropped by killing any knowledge creature. .”

"However, let's not mention that knowledge creatures often have the power to defeat magicians of the same level. Suppose you find a knowledge creature that can be defeated, but what often happens is that when you are about to defeat the knowledge creature, it runs away. ”

"Will you still run away?"

"Since they are living creatures, they naturally have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. How could they not run away?" Sonia asked in response: "Is it possible that a creature of knowledge that can give birth to magic spirits is mentally retarded and does not even understand common sense?"

Ya Xiu always felt as if Sword Lady was scolding him, but he had no evidence, "Then the magician didn't lose his blood?"

"Not really. Intellectual creatures also know how to survive by cutting off their tails. When they try to escape, they will deliberately throw magic spirits to attract the attention of the magician. As long as they can defeat the intellectual creatures, the magician can obtain at least one magic spirit."

"That's okay, at least we won without losing."

"Sometimes it hurts even more when you win - if the magician kills the knowledge creature, it is possible that the experience orb will also be destroyed."

"ah?"

"The experience orb is not generated after the death of the knowledge creature, but it exists in the body of the knowledge creature." Sonia explained: "Because of the characteristics of the knowledge creature dissipating after death, no one knows where the experience orb will be. The parts are generated, and even the parts where different knowledge creatures give birth to experience orbs are different.”

"If the magician is not careful when attacking, it is very likely that the experience orb will be destroyed."

"No orbs are dropped when killing knowledge creatures. This is something that all magicians will encounter. They also have no way of knowing whether there are no orbs in the knowledge creatures or they accidentally destroyed the orbs."

"So you understand how lucky we are to get this orb, right?"

Sonia looked at the place where Hu Zhaolong disappeared, "If Hu Zhaolong hadn't fallen asleep, if we hadn't concentrated on attacking Hu Zhaolong's head, if the experience orb happened to be on Hu Zhaolong's head, if Hu Zhaolong The dragon has enough energy to fight with us... but if there is one thing, it is basically impossible for this orb to fall into our hands."

Speaking of this, Sonia couldn't help but look at the viewers with surprised eyes - the viewers' stay just now was undoubtedly to wait for Hu Zhaolong to sleep. This unheard-of despicable operation was really... too Bravo!

"really."

Ash nodded, staring at the experience orb.

Sonia held the orb tightly, her body trembling slightly. But soon, she exhaled and handed the orb to Ash: "Here."

"Will you give it to me?"

"Aren't you in a very dangerous situation and in urgent need of props to increase your strength?"

Sonia pretended to be casual, "I'm not in a hurry, so I'll give this orb to you. Next time you encounter a sword orb, don't snatch it from me."

"good!"

Ash reached for the orb, but couldn't hold it.

"Let go!"

"I'm releasing it, I'm releasing it, but my fingers won't obey my orders!"

Ash had no choice but to pry her fingers apart one by one and get the orb in Sonia's reluctant eyes.

As a wave of warmth flowed into the palm of my hand, a message popped up on the light screen:

"Orb of Light"

"The essence of truth left by Fox Zhaolong contains secret knowledge that ordinary magicians cannot obtain through normal channels. After absorbing it, you can gain a lot of light experience."

"'The moonlight is the leaping fox, and the fox is the walking moonlight.'"

The moment he touched the bead, Ya Xiu also felt a throbbing in his heart, and an unspeakable hunger spread from his heart to his whole body. This was the first time that Ya Xiu had such an experience - the strong desire for knowledge was actually affecting his reason.

It was an indescribable experience. It was more intense than the desire for knowledge when reading a novel and seeing the key position suddenly cut off. It was more anxious than the urgency of finding the answer in an exam and finding that half of it was missing. It was more exciting than the excitement of loading a picture into an important position but suddenly getting stuck. His heart was even more excited, as if every wrinkle and pore in his body was urging Ash to absorb this orb.

Prison, danger, and survival were all thrown thousands of miles away at this moment, and knowledge became Ash's only desire.

Just when Ash couldn't help but absorb this orb, his rationality shone with wisdom——

Wait, I smell residual value.

Ash carefully looked at the introduction of the Orb of Light. There is no doubt that it says "A large amount of light experience can be obtained after absorbing it." That means...

"Jian Ji, you can absorb it."

Seeing the orb being thrown over, Sonia, who was extremely skilled, was in a hurry at this moment. She carefully caught the light orb and looked at Ash in anger and shock.

"Is it possible that your level of light faction has reached the silver level or above?"

"No, I don't understand the Light Faction at all."

"I understand. The light faction conflicts with the faction knowledge you have mastered? For example, the dark abyss faction..."

"No, no, I don't know anything. It's not like you don't know."

"Then why don't you absorb this orb?"

"Because you and I have a bond." Ya Xiu said matter-of-factly: "As you become stronger, I become stronger."

It wasn't the first time Sonia had heard viewers say to her, 'There is a bond between you and me,' but she had always thought it was a polite way of saying a kidnapping threat - I have a way of controlling you - until now. At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh: Is this a bond?

As for what the viewer said, "As you become stronger, I become stronger," Sonia took it as a polite statement, similar to "Hello, I am good, everyone is good when they are really good."

Sonia didn't hesitate and crushed the experience orb directly. Her body trembled slightly, her cheeks showed a flush, and she let out a melodious sigh.

Although the picture was very tempting, Ash had no time to appreciate it at this time. After all, he was in a similar state to Sonia.

This feeling is not so much ‘absorbing knowledge’ as it is ‘memories flooding into my mind’.

Just like when he saw a difficult math problem and suddenly recalled what the teacher had taught him, Yaxiu naturally mastered a lot of relevant knowledge. From a newbie who didn't even know about the Light Faction, he suddenly became an expert magician of the Light Faction.

It really works!

30% of the light faction experience that Sword Princess absorbs from the experience orb can be shared with Ash!

This is why Ash gave up the orb to Sword Queen: he would get 100% benefit from absorbing it himself, but he would get 130% benefit from absorbing it for Sword Queen!

And as long as Sword Girl continues to improve in the Light Faction in the future, Yaxiu will be able to obtain endless long-term benefits. Isn't the residual value generated in this way much better than eating alone?

Therefore, Ash was not blinded by the temptation of the experience orb: the experience orb is just a tool, just like a hoe. No matter how cool the hoe is, it must be given to someone who can cultivate the land in order to play its due role. People like Ash who have no talent can just wait and eat.

Sonia gradually recovered from the afterglow of being filled with knowledge and looked at Ash, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you!"

"Then don't live up to my expectations. Study the knowledge of the Light Faction carefully, and don't neglect the training of the Swordsmanship Faction!"

"Um!"
