I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 247 The Flexible and Resilient Bige

It's no wonder that the research fanatic is seeing things; the scene is just too familiar. Although I've been out of school for several years, the days of burning the midnight oil in the library seem like they were just yesterday.

In the library, the person in front of me, apart from his white hair and red eyes which were a bit exaggerated, was so similar to the younger students in the library who looked like they might collapse at any moment, but still sipped their coffee and persevered.
The initial thought of encountering the Sweeping Monk vanished instantly, replaced by another idea—

"Could it be... that this is the senior's disciple?"

Although Bigeley was exhausted from studying, she wasn't so oblivious as to the approach of a living person. Considering the special habits of these heroes, Bigeley immediately perked up and said, "Hey you! You can understand this, right? Explain it to me!"

"Huh? So this is a plot where a 'bad student's personal disciple asks a genius outer disciple for homework?" The research fanatic readily labeled himself a "genius outer disciple," then glanced at the book in the girl's hand, his expression suddenly freezing—

"I'm sorry, I overestimated myself. I'm not qualified to teach!"

"What do you mean?" Bigre stared with her ruby-red eyes, while the research fanatic helplessly shrugged.

"It means I don't understand it either."

At this moment, the research fanatic's thoughts are like seeing an elementary school student struggling with their homework in the library, receiving a request for help, confidently stepping forward to show off their skills, only to discover that the student is solving Fermat's Last Theorem...

"You don't understand?" Bige looked at the other person with suspicion. She had clearly heard the other person say things like "I see" and "professional knowledge" before, which is why she deliberately made some noise to attract the other person's attention.

"Could it be that they don't want to teach? That makes sense; these heroes are the type who won't do anything unless there's a benefit in it." Thinking this, Bigeley immediately said:

"I won't let you teach for free; you'll be paid!"

"This really isn't about the payment. Few people throughout history have been able to fully understand your book. Are you studying this to research divination and fortune-telling?"

Hearing the research fanatic say that, Bige looked at the book in her hand with suspicion, not quite understanding what the name "I Ching" had to do with fate, but decided to skip the topic:
"Which one do you think is easier?"

"What kind of question is this?" The research fanatic was speechless. You wanted to find something simple, so you're flipping through the I Ching? And this is your home library, you're asking me... Wait a minute!
Just as if he had been hit in the back of the head by a laser sniper rifle, the research fanatic suddenly understood. This matter was also recorded in the free discussion!

When he was in college, his professors would occasionally let them choose a topic and write a paper. They didn't require them to go too deep; the point was to let them understand the various details that needed to be considered when writing a paper.

He walked into the library aimlessly, thinking he'd find a simple topic to write about...

and so……

This young lady probably thinks the I Ching is easy just because it has the character "易" (yi) in it?
What kind of idiot beauty persona is this?
Game company, you did a great job!
The research fanatic immediately became interested. To be honest, this kind of clumsy junior girl's persona really appealed to his psyche.

Recalling his experience of guiding younger students in choosing research topics, the research enthusiast responded:
"It mainly depends on what kind of show you want to watch and what you're good at. What's easy for me might not be easy for you."

"You're making it sound like I'm dumber than you!" Bigeley thought to herself, but outwardly she maintained her composure. After a moment's thought, she said, "I mainly want to see about magic."

"Ah, this... wait a minute..." The research fanatic's expression immediately softened when he heard the other person wanted to learn magic. He couldn't speak for himself, but he had been studying this subject quite a bit lately. He turned around a few times, pacing back and forth in the library, and soon returned carrying seven or eight books:

"That covers the basics of magic. Take a look first. I'm a bit busy right now. If you don't understand anything, just ask me when I get back!"

After saying that, the research fanatic didn't linger. Having learned a painful lesson from his school days, he knew very well that to guide his junior, he needed a solid foundation in his own field. Since he was just an NPC anyway, he decided to log off and "recharge" as planned first!

Watching the research fanatic leave in a hurry, Bige didn't pay much attention. In her mind, these heroes were basically all lunatics. One minute they would chase you down the street calling you "wife," and the next they would throw you strange trash like tattered bags, broken bottles, and goblin fig leaves. They were even more unpredictable than the chaotic demons of her original world.

Regardless, this hero at least chose a reading list for himself.

Bigeley laid out the stack of books one by one, her mood improving considerably. Compared to the books she had seen before, these titles were indeed simple and easy to understand.

"Principles of Spells", "Anatomy of Spells", "Ritual Design", "General Spell Configurations"...

Although she didn't seem very bright, Bigeley was, after all, a progenitor-level vampire who had mastered a vast amount of magic. With her own massive pool of spells as a reference, she quickly understood the logic behind the so-called "ritual" and tried to break down and refine the spells she had mastered into simple modules according to the methods in the book.

“If you cast a spell through a ritual, then you only need energy. But all the spells I know are elemental-driven. Even if I perform the ritual, the energy source won’t match. Could it be that Ghidorah’s spells were originally driven by the energy of this world?”

As she continued reading, Bige quickly discovered the crux of the problem. She frowned, as if she had thought of something, picked up the book "Universal Spell Configurations," randomly selected a ritual, and manipulated the [blue bar energy] within her body to try to perform a simple ritual, but the spell did not materialize.

"No! The magic mentioned in these books is not the same as the energy of this world!"

Although Bigre was puzzled, her brow relaxed involuntarily. If Ghidorah's energy was the same as this world's, it could only mean he was lucky, but if it wasn't...

"Did Ghidorah master some kind of technology to convert the energy of this world into magic? Or did it rewrite its original spells to be able to be driven by the energy of this world?"

……

"I never thought I'd be flipping through my textbooks again!"

The research fanatic closed his university notes, put his virtual reality headset back on, re-entered the game, and walked towards the "dumb junior"—

"How's the checkup going?"

Bigeley, still immersed in the joy of discovering a new world, immediately looked up when she heard the research fanatic's question and said:
"Is it alright? Is there anything you don't understand?"
