Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 3 This magic circle is so simple

It's evening.

The sun was a little tired after working all day, so it stretched lazily.

Wanxia seized this opportunity and hit him from behind.

"bump!"

The sun fell again and was dragged behind the mountain.

It was getting dark again.

Zhang Jingyi returned to the downstairs of the rental house and took a look at the window of the braised meat shop...

Is it harmful to eat braised beef every day? Let's change the taste today.

He walked into the cake shop next door, bought a piece of honey cake for 29.8 yuan, held it carefully in his hands, and returned home.

"Elizabeth, I'm back."

"Husband is back?" Elizabeth sat upright on the sofa, looking peaceful and elegant. However, a trace of fatigue could be seen on her little face, as if she had carried ten bags of rice to the sixth floor.

"Ah? Honey, what's wrong with you? You seem very tired?"

Elizabeth showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. "Today, in order to help a tribe of cat people, I led my men to fight a battle with a tribe of fish people. I consumed a lot of magic power and looked tired. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my husband."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

and many more!

Hold on!

My wife is telling jokes again. A mature man should know how to cooperate with his wife's jokes and not say anything that will ruin the atmosphere.

Zhang Jingyi smiled: "My wife is really amazing."

Elizabeth shook her head tiredly. "I am not very powerful at all. I did not win a complete victory in today's battle. Alas! My strength is still too weak. If this continues, I don't know when I can restore my country."

Restoration of the country? Zhang Jingyi thought: So this is the setting for the princess who restored the country?
He held Elizabeth's hand and said, "Come on, you will succeed. I will do my best to help you."

Elizabeth smiled: "Thank you, husband."

Zhang Jingyi handed over a 29.8 yuan honey cake: "Come, have a cake, sweet food can replenish your energy."

Elizabeth took the cake and smelled the sweet aroma of honey. Her eyes lit up: Ah, there is honey in it? Honey is a top luxury product!
In her world, two nobles would go to war just to fight for a small jar of honey.

I didn’t expect my husband to bring me such a big piece of honey cake!
He is really nice to me.

Elizabeth held the cake in both hands, moved...

I’m a bit reluctant to eat it!

Zhang Jingyi walked into the kitchen and started to tie his apron. Suddenly, he found a strange large scale in the trash can. It was blue and had a strange luster on it.

"Honey, why is there a huge piece of scale in the trash can?" "Hum..." Elizabeth chewed the cake, making strange humming sounds, and replied: "That's... um... the scale of a blue-scaled fishman... um... During the battle this afternoon, I killed a blue-scaled fishman with magic... um... The scale flew up and stuck to my body, and I brought it back accidentally. I found it when I was changing clothes... um... Delicious! This cake is delicious."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and shook his head: "My wife took my joke so seriously. I don't know where she found such a big piece of fish scale as a prop! She worked really hard to complete the setting."

My wife is so cute!
He prepared a few simple dishes as quickly as possible and brought them back to the table...

As soon as I sat down, I found a strange pattern drawn on the table, a big circle with many strange runes drawn inside, which looked like a magic circle.

"Wife, do you want to draw a magic circle for fun?"

"Hmm!" There were still cake crumbs on Elizabeth's lips, so she licked them with her tongue.

"A magician should review his magic knowledge frequently, otherwise it will be troublesome if he makes a mistake at a critical moment. I just reviewed the magic circle of [Flame Trap] and just drew it here with a pen. Don't worry, it was drawn with an ordinary pen, without using any magic medium, so it has no effect and will not really explode."

Zhang Jingyi laughed in his heart: It would be strange if it exploded.

Let’s have some fun with my wife!
Zhang Jingyi put on a serious face: "Oh, I am also interested in magic circles, but unfortunately I can't understand them. Can you teach me some simple magic runes?"

Elizabeth smiled. "Of course you can. Look, honey. The runes written on the outer circle of the magic circle are used to mark its activation range. This row of ancient numbers indicates that its trigger radius is 5 yards, and its explosion radius is 20 yards."

"Each of these runes in the inner circle has a specific meaning. This one means 'fire explosion'. And this rune over here is a detection rune. When it detects someone entering the trigger range, it will 'activate' the explosion rune."

Zhang Jingyi understood it immediately: "Haha, so it's a programming language. This rune is actually if, this rune is else, this rune represents a person, and this rune represents an explosion..."

"If someone enters the range of this ring, then it will trigger a fire explosion, right? So simple, not complicated at all. Then I can also nest it inside."

Elizabeth tilted her head, a look of surprise on her face. It was the first time she saw someone understand the principle of a magic circle after hearing about it for the first time. She also said something like "nesting" that she didn't understand: "Honey, what do you mean by nesting?"

Zhang Jingyi picked up a pen and paper and started drawing: "Look, this magic circle of yours uses If else to implement the basic judgment of 'explode if someone enters', but this judgment is too simple, it is easy to explode your own people, right?"

Elizabeth: "Huh? That's right! Magic circles are prone to hitting our own people, which makes us magicians very distressed."

Zhang Jingyi: "Then we need to nest If else to implement 'multiple conditional judgments'. Let me give you a simple example... You are helping the Cat Tribe to fight against the Fish Tribe, right?"

Elizabeth nodded: "The cat people are my people, and the fish people are the enemy."

Zhang Jingyi: "Then do it this way: if someone enters, then proceed to the next level of judgment. If this person is a murloc, bomb it, else don't bomb it. If this person is a boar man, bomb it, else don't bomb it... Anyway, if you can nest it infinitely, you can list all the people you want to bomb and don't want to bomb, and you can accurately bomb the race you want to bomb."

Zhang Jingyi painted on the paper with quick strokes.

Elizabeth stared at him with wide eyes and pricked up her ears, and she could only feel the light of wisdom shining on her husband...

Who exactly is my husband?
He actually rewrote the magic circle passed down by the founding magician with just one move?
This magic circle has a history of more than thousands of years.

The key is that after listening to his explanation, I felt that it seemed to work. Although my husband's runes were drawn in a mess and basically all wrong, I could understand the principles he was talking about.

"Haha, it's done." Zhang Jingyi held up the paper in his hand, which was covered with crooked magic symbols, and said with a smile: "It's so fun to study magic circles with my wife. Here, take this, I'm going to take a shower."

"Hmm!" Elizabeth hummed stupidly.

There was a sound of splashing water in the bathroom. Elizabeth looked down at the paper in her hand. She couldn't help but use a little force to hold it tightly. Her knuckles turned white from the force. "Although this magic circle is crooked, I just need to redraw it and make all the runes standard. Maybe it will work... Tomorrow, I have to go back and try it. If it really works, we don't have to worry about the sneak attacks of the blue-scaled fishmen anymore."
