I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 262 Now they're really in for it!
"It's done!" Holding the first finished magical artifact in his hand, the research maniac felt his head buzzing. Having graduated for several years, he had racked his brains to figure out this plan. In the end, he only managed to create this super-large ritual consisting of 33 (Note ①) rituals by making a phone call to his mentor, whom he hadn't called in years, and getting off-site assistance.

While the number could be reduced if mirror images were allowed in this ritual sequence, the logic of the software would become more complex, as spellcasters might have to frequently change their mana input habits.

"Isn't your staff a bit too long? And aren't most spells supposed to prioritize immobilization or transformation? Why did you cast 'Filter' first?" Guan'er's lips twitched as she looked at the "eyebrow-length staff" in the research maniac's hand.

"Because it's difficult to control, and too short a length would easily lead to mistakes, I also wrote an additional software spell." The research fanatic took out his design drawings and pointed to the instrument track in the corner:
"This is a filtering-based ritual. Before I cast a spell, I need to input the ritual sequence of my spell casting into this filtering spell in the format of a. filtering b. transferring c. converting d. fixed. The spell will then find the position of the sequence I need on this staff. Then I input the mana from that position, and the sequence will be correct."

As he spoke, the research fanatic flicked his staff, and with the input of magic power, about a third of the staff suddenly lit up. He immediately poured magic power into the lit area, and with the ritual lights illuminating one by one, a fireball spell was released.

"This is way too complicated!" Looking at the spell sequence, Guan'er felt a chill run down her spine, while the research fanatic shook his head and said:
"It's just that I'm not used to it yet. Once I get used to it, I'll basically know where to input the spell when I think of it, and I won't need any prerequisite spells. Besides, this is essentially just a research tool. You can find all the spell casting sequences you can think of here. If you have any favorite spells, you can use this staff as an enchanting table to make a staff that can cast specific spells... Rings, gloves, and so on are also possible. By the way, this is the enchanting table ritual, which I just copied down."

"So you mean any section of this super long ritual can be used as the basic ritual for a magic artifact, right?" Guan'er pondered for a while before understanding what the research maniac meant. However, just as he was about to do it, he found that the enchanting table had already been occupied.

"The research experts have already produced the finished product, why are you still talking nonsense? Even if you want to ask for instructions, wait until you get the product!"

While Guan'er and the research maniac were asking around, the Tyrannosaurus Warrior, which had already been made, waved the level 10 staff in his hand and released "Armament Haki" with a smug look on his face.

Don't complain about the low level. There are no polearms required for any class in this game, only items below level 10.

"This design is really interesting." While the players were lining up to create magical artifacts, Feng Xue had already copied down the thirty-three ritual codes of the research maniac.

While his chain of spell units is clearly more cost-effective, this ritual is not without its merits.

such as--

It can be recorded inside the human body.

Compared to serialized spell units that require different carriers to ensure the independence of the rituals, this spell unit can be embedded in a living organism. This means that even a monster like Liu Yunxi can easily learn all the spells used by Feng Xue by being given this set of rituals and then using the reverse conversion of blue bars into demonic power to solve the system of converting demonic power into magic power.

"A sorcerer... or, perhaps, a spiritual root? There are exactly thirty-three rituals, thirty-three heavens... Although I know it's a coincidence, it still feels somewhat mysterious."

Although Feng Xue really wanted to give it a try, considering that her biggest task at the moment was to return to the origin of "Primordial Qi", she temporarily put aside this altruistic system.

……

"Hey... lend me that god... wait, where is he?"

With a newfound inspiration, Bige swaggered into Feng Xue's laboratory, intending to borrow the little bell to perform some deductions, only to find that the guy who was always in the lab was nowhere to be seen, leaving her somewhat puzzled. "Someone finally cleared his five-player dungeon, and he got a little interested, so he went to the twenty-player dungeon. He's probably teleported back to his room in the Demon King's Castle now."

Liu Yunxi, who was practicing the ritual of converting demonic power into magical power, glanced at Bigeley and then focused her attention back on the spell diagram in front of her.

Bigeley was speechless when she heard this.

"What's so fun about playing house with those heroes? Is it really that interesting to be restricted in your strength and get beaten up?"

……

"How interesting! So interesting! You bunch of good-for-nothings actually have some semblance of cultivators after all!"

Looking at the players in front of her, who were carrying long spears and short clubs, Feng Xue, who had put on the Monster X suit again, let out a wild laugh.

"You bastard!" Guan'er shouted, and a beam of light shone from his shield, causing Feng Xue to freeze in mid-air.

Although all twenty players before them were cultivators, having already completed the basic training of the four elements, they were essentially proficient in all their classes. By inscribing important class skills onto their equipment, they could achieve instant casting of spells, and truly powerful spells…

"Ultimate Killer - Cure King's Addiction!"

With a combination of Shunpo and Conqueror's Haki, the ritual flashed, and the black iron rod swung towards the dragon-headed demon rushing towards the jar. But how could Feng Xue be outmaneuvered by such a technique? Having already mastered the ritual of mockery, he naturally developed a corresponding way to break free!

"I'll fight you!" With a loud shout, the mocking light effect was instantly broken, and the branch-like dragon horns were dyed with golden light, colliding with the oncoming iron rod.

The collision, almost exceeding the game's sound limits, suddenly exploded. With a sweep of its twin tails, it slammed the player who had ambushed it to the ground. Its dragon claws blocked the short sword that was about to deliver a kidney strike, and it withstood two magic missiles before stomping on the head of the player who was trying to kick its king addiction.

"Holy crap! This boss... this game company is toxic, right? They're just removing the controls, why are they swearing?"

Guan'er was so angered by Feng Xue's scolding that he seemed to have been mocked. He abandoned his shield, put on the Rasengan Gloves, and charged forward. Ba Bi quickly grabbed him, and at the same time, the team's voice chat immediately started.

The previously furious Guan'er instantly calmed down, a wicked grin spreading across his face. He and his four companions suddenly stood in a row, simultaneously pulling out a toilet plunger they'd stolen from some villager's house, and with a forceful swing, they shouted in unison:
"The Secret Techniques of the Jar: Eating Shrimp!"
