Chapter 382 Chapter 379 Transaction Upgrade

Concerned about helping Ge Gongdao improve the energy level of his shadow followers, Zhuang Xuteng entered the Stone Pillar Hall to find the Lich Master during his rest that night, seeking answers and guidance from him. Master Lich listened carefully to the whole story, asked a few questions about Ge Gongdao's physical and mental state, and finally said:

"His current method is the best. By exercising his body and practicing more, Yingcong's energy reserves will naturally increase. If you want to speed up this process, just create more pressure on him. There is no need to do anything else. ”

Zhuang Xuteng was not very satisfied with this answer. He asked: "You teach me meditation, can't I teach it to him? Modify it..."

"No! It's not the same thing." Master Lich said: "You two have different energy systems, and the methods of improvement are also different. Asking him to meditate will only delay him, and may even cause regression."

Zhuang Xuteng expressed his doubts, and the Lich Master explained: "You are a spell caster, and you have to maintain the Wraith Spirit Array. In addition, you are always thinking about using the Wraith Spirit Servant. This is continuous training. What you are doing is There is a long way to go, and he doesn't have this kind of magic circle that requires constant attention, so he has to use the method of reaching the limit, exceeding the limit, destroying physical skills, and repairing functions to increase the upper limit. To put it simply, you use your brain, and he uses it. Muscles; you have to use your brain, and he has to train muscles. No one is higher or lower, as long as each uses his own method, both are good."

"But I think his progress is very slow, and his shadow energy reserve level cannot compare with mine." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said.

"It's not your responsibility that he is not as good as you; if you are not stronger than him, it must be my problem." Master Lich shook his finger and said: "Everyone is different. This makes no sense. It is reality. That Ge Gong said, it’s not your fault for starting slowly, starting late, or falling behind. If you want to help him, just help him move forward steadily step by step. Don’t think about miracles in your world. The film’s technology is already violent enough, and so many problems are caused by impatience.”

When Zhuang Xuteng heard this, he realized that there was something in what the Lich Master said! He was both studious and gossipy, so he quickly asked what was going on with this "impatient" person.

"Want to hear? Then you have to do something for me." Master Lich said: "This is a small errand, but I can't leave here. This thing will help me, but it will also help me." It’s not necessary. The only problem with this little thing is that it will make you question: How do I contact the outside world.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded: "Yes, I have this question."

"So you need to make a choice: continue to cooperate or break up." The Lich Master said: "You also need my knowledge, advice and experience, and I also need you to be my only physical connection with the real world. The benefits and risks are both before you. Should you go further with your cooperation, or..."

Master Lich didn't say the rest, but Zhuang Xuteng could understand it completely. "Obviously, you have affected the real world in some way, and now you need to let this influence return to you." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Let me guess, you summoned someone, or used someone who once summoned Someone arrived. Hill Li from Dingxin Magic Creation?"

The Lich Master always had a skull face, and he still responded with an extremely calm voice: "I won't bother to confirm your guess, because your choice is the only thing I care about."

"Yes, I can run errands for you and act as your so-called 'contact with the physical world,' but I have to weigh the risks of doing things for you myself, just like I can also refuse tasks arranged by middlemen."

"That's no problem." Master Lich's voice was still calm, because he had long expected this outcome. He believes that Zhuang Xuteng is a smart man. Once he discovers that it is connected with the outside world, he will immediately realize that this connection has become a fact and its influence will inevitably appear. The best way is to control it instead of directly falling out with a child. . At the same time, Master Lich also knew that he wanted to appease Zhuang Xuteng. To put it bluntly, he wanted to give him some benefits to make the cooperation between the two parties happy again.

"I have been studying shadow magic, especially the relationship between shadow magic and necromancy. Shadow magic is, to put it bluntly, a method of using energy, but this energy is called mana here, but it is called shadow here. The two are different in nature, but they have some similarities.”

"In our history, there was a period of ignorance and recklessness about how to use mana. Some people were particularly anxious and tried every means to maximize their mana. Not surprisingly, these people had various physical problems, which we collectively call It was called the Mana Plague. Later, we finally figured out what was going on. Although this term "plague" which represents an external infectious disease is not appropriate, everyone is used to it and still uses it. "

"Mana, or shadow energy reserves can indeed be increased suddenly, but there are many risks in doing so. Some problems will be directly exposed and cause immediate damage; some will be hidden, waiting to explode later. Since everyone's physique is different, when practicing mana The amount of energy invested at each time is different, and the depth, breadth, angle and speed of thinking about the problem are also different. As a result, everyone's improvement speed is different, and it is difficult for outsiders to predict. "

"Later we concluded a simple rule: if the body and mind cannot bear it, and cannot recover after a sleep, then it may be an overdose. People who learn by themselves can ensure safety by following this rule. Those with teacher guidance, The teacher will observe the situation and can exceed the limit a little.”

"Shadow spells, shadow weapons, and shadow implants should all follow the same principle, but your world seems to have followed the same set of experiences used when gods existed before. Gods are equivalent to the users of divine spells. Teacher, I won’t give you excess mana, so you can avoid the mana plague. As a spell user, you can have no worries at all. The amount of training and usage will go up.”

"Therefore, everyone in your world is using excessive amounts of shadow servants, and then relying on medical technology to solve health problems as much as possible." The Lich Master said: "When it comes to you, necromancy is just effective in the side effects of shadow servants. It greatly reduces your burden and allows you to restore your mental and physical condition. As for your friend, he has installed many implants. What he needs now is not rapid improvement, but steady improvement. The efficiency and effect are different between using it on yourself and using it on others. You can’t help him the same way you can help yourself. His burden will always be greater than yours.”

As soon as the conversation was over, Zhuang Xuteng completely understood what Master Lich meant. He had studied the previous divine arts - the Lich Master also learned about the divine spell system of this world through him - and was exposed to a little bit of the shadow magic of this world. He felt that the two were very similar, but he had never thought about it. The god is actually very critical in the entire system, and without the god, the risk is so great...

Side effects, Lanci syndrome, and implant rejection can all be explained by the overdosage system. "Master Lich, I don't understand. Your world can understand the fundamental problem of mana plague. Why doesn't anyone on our side propose to take it step by step?"

Master Lich said: "This is a problem in your society. I can't go out, I can't see, I can only listen to you, so my answer cannot exceed your observation. Zhuang Xuteng, you have to find the answer yourself. But …”

"But what?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"It's okay. The history of my world cannot be directly used to understand this world. It must be investigated on the spot. Isn't this what you said on that pillar?"

My pillar—Zhuang Xuteng thinks this expression is a bit awkward no matter how he thinks about it. Something new pops up on the pillar every day. Zhuang Xuteng often looks at it. There are some thought-provoking sentences in it, but most of them state facts and enumerate figures, as if they are investigation reports. I don’t understand the report very well, but the principle of “talk after on-the-spot investigation” is indeed imprinted in Zhuang Xuteng’s mind.

"Okay, I understand that we can't let Brother Dao train too aggressively. Now let's talk about running errands!" Zhuang Xuteng crossed his arms and stared at the Lich Master, and said: "I am a mercenary, and I value intelligence and details. So you'd better speak clearly."

"It is indeed Hill Lee. She is my channel. I can still summon her here - thanks to the shadow energy you absorbed." The Lich Master said: "She has joined Dingxin Magic to fight against the shadow. I asked her to collect some things for me. These things are now stored in a secret location - not in Peicheng, but in Gaofeng City, where there is a starting point for the exploration team. All you have to do is go there. There, take the stuff away.”

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "It sounds simple, but it may also expose many secrets, such as discovering me, following me, and eventually finding you. Do you have any idea of ​​these risks?"

"Concept? Are you kidding? Of course I have a concept." Master Lich said: "Of course I don't trust Hill Lee. Of the twenty things I asked her to collect, only one was what I needed. Don't Forgot, I said take things away, not get things back.”

"Haha, I understand. You also want to test this Hill Li, which is also part of this mission." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Okay, give me the address. I need to investigate the situation before I can think about what to do." What to do. I will come back to discuss it with you and let’s get this done.”

Master Lich nodded slowly, seemingly very satisfied with this answer. It said that this matter does not need to be done immediately, and you can take time to plan it carefully.

The matter was not urgent, which meant that the Lich Master had not made an appointment with Hill Lee. If Hill Lee has "bad ideas", she will have to pay extra energy and price for not having the agreed time. Hey, why are you calculating costs for others? - Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself - it would be good if he could take good care of himself. Don't forget that the opposite side is Dingxin Magic.

Dingxin Magic, the largest military industrial group and now the most emerging automobile industry force, was the main murderer of Zhuang Teng. Zhuang Xuteng will never forget this incident, but he will not regard Hill Li as the scapegoat of Dingxin Group. He really wanted to know who in the Dingxin Magic Group was specifically responsible for killing Zhuang Teng, and that would require internal intelligence. He wants to win over Hill Lee, and he wants to use Hill Lee. This matter is even more important than the Lich Master's commission.

The Lich Master then detailed what it and Hill Lee had said, and what the things they were going to bring back this time were for. Zhuang Xuteng kept all of this in mind, and he would definitely analyze it carefully when making detailed plans before going to Gaofeng City. It was a pity that he failed to get a way for Dao Ge to speed up the energy of Shadow Consort, but knowing that he should be more cautious about the burden on his body was also a gain.

The Lich Master was a treasure trove of knowledge, but the treasure trove was too large, and it was impossible to teach Zhuang Xuteng all of it at once-and the Lich Master had no obligation to do so. All along, Zhuang Xuteng only regarded the Lich Master as a wise man, a teacher barely, and had no intention of treating him as a master. Although he also knew that becoming a disciple would definitely be a great benefit, he always felt awkward. The Lich Master was the same, never considering himself a master, but only treating Zhuang Xuteng as a junior, and scolding or teaching him was entirely up to his mood, and he never took on any responsibilities or obligations.

When it heard that Zhuang Xuteng had mastered the art of levitation and used the super cache martial arts to improve the super calculation martial arts to seven flashes, it scolded and encouraged at the same time. What it scolded was, of course, the stupid art of levitation: if you want to fly, there are many ways in the undead spells, and the vengeful spirit servants can do it themselves. What it encouraged was naturally that Zhuang Xuteng used the super cache martial arts well: he finally understood its profound intentions, and he would have more faith in its foresight in the future.

The martial arts that can suddenly change direction in the air are quite powerful, and it will be quite difficult for the opponent to parry, but it can only be regarded as medium in the ranking of the lich master. "There are many flying creatures in my world, and some of the intelligent guys will suddenly change direction. They do that in the air, just like you jump left and right on the ground, which is not surprising."

Well, the truth is indeed the truth. When it comes to rapid maneuvering and changing, the sky home court and the ground home court are the same. It's just that one party goes to the other party's home court to do this. However, the lich master's approach of first belittling and then giving some sweetness makes Zhuang Xuteng feel a little bit of a scumbag. He thought: Can't I just talk to you nicely? Do I have to make you uncomfortable first, and then get used to and accept this discomfort?

"I have praised the supercomputing martial arts. It speeds up reaction speed, improves adaptability, and the idea and practice of controlling and rebuilding conditioned reflexes are all very powerful. You can make an analogy. Can the creatures in the air have supercomputing martial arts, and can you make the levitation technique work like you use the supercomputing martial arts on the ground?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "That's what I think. I want to use the opponent's actions to use the levitation technique, and combine the response process with the levitation transformation. But the power of the vengeful spirit servant is still not enough. Only technology without power is a show."

The lich master nodded vigorously: "Yeah, that's right! Practice harder, kid. You have a lot of wonderful ideas, which are also good, but they are only useful after the basic ability is improved. You don't lack technology now, but you lack the foundation!"
