I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 240 People are different

Upon hearing the question about the pink fluffy rabbit, the research fanatic immediately realized that the so-called test was to mobilize his magic power on his own without the spell.

However, he had no intention of hiding this issue. Firstly, the pink fluffy rabbit had already arrived in the village, and keeping it a secret would only slow down the other party's pace. Moreover, this was not something that could be learned without being taught; the other party would eventually figure it out after a few tries. In addition, it might trigger the other party's rebellious mentality, causing him to keep the village a secret as well.

In comparison, it would be better to help him complete the process sooner, which would also make it easier to find out the location of the village from him.

However, this matter is actually just like riding a bicycle. You can talk a lot about scientific evidence, but in the end you still have to rely on your intuition. The research fanatic could only say all his experience from his practice. At the same time, to avoid stress, he did not ask where the other party's village was, but asked what books were in that "library".

The pink fluffy rabbit, who had initially harbored some ulterior motives, was instead stumped by the frankness of the research fanatic. For a moment, he even felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he realized he probably wasn't cut out for this; without a demonstration from the expert, he felt he wouldn't be able to learn it. So he simply said:

"You can figure it out yourself, I'll send you the coordinates!"

"Great job!" The research fanatic didn't expect this player to trigger the tip so easily, so he immediately went to the forum and gave him a small reward. It wasn't much, but it was a token of his appreciation.

……

"Holy crap, how did this guy find it?" The research fanatic stood near the coordinate point, referring to the map, moving from one coordinate point to another. If he hadn't walked back and forth several times and precisely avoided that coordinate, he would have even doubted whether he had been tricked.

"If you didn't know the coordinates beforehand, even if you found out the coordinates had been changed and you couldn't reach the destination no matter how many times you walked, you would just think it was a game bug, right?"

The research fanatic shifted his feet left and right, finally managing to land on the correct coordinates, and the world before him immediately changed.

However, unlike when the pink fuzzy rabbit arrived, it was now lunchtime, and there was no one walking on the streets. Only wisps of smoke carrying the aroma of cooking food rose from each household.

"The level of detail here is far superior to that dilapidated royal city. Just looking at the lively atmosphere of this Chinese-style village, it's like we're playing completely different games!"

The research fanatic looked at the village, which bore some resemblance to his hometown, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Compared to this, the royal city in the game was simply unbearable to look at.

But now was clearly not the time to complain. Seeing no NPCs around, he simply sent a message to the pink fluffy rabbit—

"I've entered the village, where are you?"

"Just keep walking along the dirt road in the village, and you'll find the Four Qi Temple."

Seeing the pink fluffy rabbit's instant reply, the research maniac knew that this player probably hadn't made any progress at all. As he walked along the dirt road, he muttered the name "Four Qi Observation" to himself.

"Taoist temples don't just pick random names. Are the Four Qi the qi of the four seasons, or the cold, heat, warmth, and coolness of traditional Chinese medicine? Neither seems quite right..."

He continued muttering to himself until he saw the characters for "Heaven" and "Earth" on the main hall, at which point he abruptly stopped. There was no way he could help it; the sight of it reminded him of the Wuzhuang Temple.

"The Five Villages Temple connects to the Five Organs Temple, which is based on the Five Elements, Five Qi, and Five Organs. So, does this 'Four Qi' correspond to the four of the Five Elements extracted from the Demon Dragon? Or is it the so-called Four Great Elements?"

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask your purpose?" The sudden appearance of the Daoist boy startled the deep-thinking research fanatic, but he still nodded and said:

"My senior told me to come here to find him."

"Master is currently in seclusion to recuperate, but he has also given you some instructions. Please come with me first!"

As the boy spoke, he led the research fanatic towards the side hall. However, unlike the pink fluffy rabbit, the research fanatic wouldn't miss this opportunity and immediately asked:
"Young master, may I ask what the Four Qi refers to? I've heard you mention the Four Elements before, what are those four elements?"

"The Four Qi refer to the four Qi of Ying, Wei, Zong, and Yuan, which are the foundation of cultivation. The Four Great Practices refer to the four basic skills of transformation, transfer, fixation, and selection. The four training places you will go through later are to help you quickly master these four skills. Of course, you also need to have good control over your magical power."

As the boy spoke, he seemed to remember something, shook his head helplessly, and even showed a hint of disdain between his brows. His emotional expression was undoubtedly more realistic than that of ordinary NPCs.

"Is this what he says to everyone, or is it because Pink Furry Rabbit is performing poorly that he's reacting this way? If it's the latter, this NPC will probably receive a lot of resources!" The research maniac has seen all sorts of NPCs, but in this game, the only ones who can behave this way are those few NPCs who appear occasionally but for whom no quests have been discovered yet.

"That's right! There's also the right way!"

The research fanatic suddenly remembered the library mentioned by the pink fluffy rabbit and immediately said:
"The young master mentioned a quick way to learn, but is there a method that doesn't require a quick fix?"

The boy sighed and pointed to a house not far away, saying:

"If you want to follow the orthodox path of cultivation, you must at least read through all the books in that room. You will come with me to test your basic skills first. If you have time later, you can learn on your own."

"It really does seem to be because of the pink plush rabbit!"

Seeing that it was different from what Mao Mao Rabbit had said, the research maniac was not in a hurry. Since the other party said that he could learn it himself, there would be plenty of opportunities later. At worst, he could use his screenshot skills to copy it and take it to the real world to have the AI ​​help him summarize the key points!
Thinking of this, he made his way to the place of the basic assessment. As soon as he entered, he saw the pink fluffy rabbit, who looked like a socially awkward person who couldn't sing but was pushed onto the stage by his friends. He was holding a steel pipe with two candles stuck in it and was just staring blankly at the microphone. It looked quite ridiculous.

"Boss, you're here!" The pink fluffy rabbit exclaimed in relief when it saw the research maniac enter, which made the research maniac's expression stiffen slightly. Although it was an NPC, if it was highly intelligent, it should be treated like a human!

He sighed inwardly, but before he could apologize to the boy, the boy casually walked to a steel pipe, lit a candle, and gave him a performance.

Knowing full well that his magical output would be tested, the research fanatic was brimming with confidence and immediately wanted to show off in front of the NPC, to let him know that he was different from the fluffy rabbit over there. However, as he drew his magical power out of his body and injected it into the steel pipe, the flame on the candle suddenly surged to more than three feet high, almost burning his eyebrows!

"What's going on?" The research fanatic was startled by the commotion and took two steps back. The boy, who had been about to leave, paused and nodded, saying:

"Not bad, at least you know how to draw upon magic. But your movements are too large. You need to distribute the magic evenly across the two candles. However, you seem quite clever, so you should be able to learn quickly..."

Seeing that the Taoist boy had vanished in a flash, the pink fluffy rabbit muttered to itself:
"What do you mean by 'looks smart'... Do I look stupid?"
