I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 266 can't all of it be true, can it?

Professor Wang looked at the Rasengan, feeling a little uneasy. He decisively turned off the power, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the electric ball completely disappeared. He then pressed on with the question from before:

"Screening? What do you mean? Didn't you just say that the basic skills are a dynamic and static style?"

"Ah, that's a name the players thought was too lame, so they came up with it themselves." The research maniac, too embarrassed to admit he'd chosen it himself, immediately got to the point—

"The four basic skills are movement, transformation, fixation, and filtering. By consciously performing these four manipulations, you can create different spells. When I was making that 33-ritual-track microcontroller, I selected filtering for the first ritual to make it easier to identify the nodes. This way, as long as you input the required instructions, you can find the corresponding ritual starting point, and then input mana from that starting point."

"It sounds a bit like programming, so I input current into it, which triggered the filtering module by default, causing it to filter the energy in the environment? And what's your second instrument?" Professor Wang took out a small notebook and jotted it down. Although the research fanatic was a little confused by the question, he thought for a moment and then answered:

"The second should be transfer, the third is transformation, and the fourth is fixation..."

"Interesting. Literally speaking, it should spontaneously filter out other electricity based on the input current... maybe static electricity, or something else. Anyway, it finds electricity from elsewhere, then uses transfer to concentrate that electricity, transforms it into a whole, and then fixes it inside the circuit board? It sounds more reliable than a perpetual motion machine or a meter that reverses. But where does the 'force' that pulls the 'electricity' come from?"

Professor Wang pulled out the structural design he had previously made for the research fanatic, trying to find a rational explanation from it. In this process, the only energy input was low-voltage current. In other words, this system was a snowballing operation that captured more current with current.

But this leads to an even more troublesome problem—

How exactly did it manage to snowball?

It's important to understand that the reason circuits need to be designed is because the system is "unidirectional," meaning that the current will not flow in reverse from the input point to the output point. However, this is precisely where the problem with the system lies.

If it truly is a snowball mechanism, it means that subsequent power inflows must be continuously added to this cycle, which violates the unidirectional output principle.

However, if it is due to a subsequent mechanism, it cannot explain this phenomenon of the electricity meter reversing.

The research fanatic had clearly not thought of this at first, but after hearing Professor Wang's question, he gradually realized the problem with the process.

An elderly man and a young man stared blankly at the circuit diagram for a long while before Professor Wang finally sighed and said, "I really have to look at the original to know what's going on. Can I borrow your game account for a bit? I'll log in and take a look..."

"Ah, well, this game is identity-bound, so I can't borrow it!" the research fanatic said helplessly. Professor Wang thought for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and say:

"Then I'll just have to buy one myself. Does leveling up in this game take a lot of time?"

"It will definitely cost money, but if it's just for testing spells, you can create an account and I'll take you directly to the Hidden Village. However, if your level is low, your attributes won't meet the requirements, and your cultivation will be very slow."

The research fanatic wasn't surprised that the old professor wanted to play games; or rather, all that was on his mind now was the ball that had appeared in reality.

Since magical rituals are feasible, is spiritual practice also real? Could those spiritual cultivation methods in the library also be practiced in reality?
Although he thought the idea was a bit far-fetched, the research fanatic had read some novels about games invading reality and the fourth catastrophe. If, what if that game world was actually a real world, would it be possible for him to learn cultivation?

Thinking of this, the research fanatic couldn't resist logging into the game immediately and taking pictures of all those cultivation techniques. Meanwhile, Professor Wang had already picked up the phone and asked his graduate student to buy him a helmet.

"Alright, tell me your game ID, I'll message you when I log in." Professor Wang said, starting to tidy up the lab. The research fanatic, a little embarrassed, gave his ID, but Professor Wang didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate he understood, and then said:

"This is a bit complicated. Let me think about whether to report it first or produce a preliminary result first... By the way, how many players are there in this game? How many of them know about this... Hmm, the ritual?"

"There are definitely several million players, and hundreds of thousands of daily active users, but there are relatively few players in the Hidden Village, maybe a hundred or so?" The research maniac naturally realized the trouble involved, although he was more focused on things like cultivating immortality.

Professor Wang could only shake his head when he heard this number:

"With so many people, and it's an online game, it's practically impossible to block the news. Official intervention and control would also be a hassle, but I'll still submit the report first... Oh, and remember to log in later and take me to that secluded village!"

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to submit a report?"

The research fanatic seemed somewhat confused, but Professor Wang sighed and said:

"There's a procedure for submitting reports. How can I know the seriousness of the problem if I don't go in and take a look? Should I just say I've discovered a perpetual motion machine? Do you know how many emails the Chinese Academy of Sciences receives every day from amateur scientists claiming to have discovered a perpetual motion machine?"

"That's true!" The research fanatic realized he had indeed been driven insane by Guan'er's "shrimp-eating" spell. He immediately said goodbye to Professor Wang and ran online...

……

"Madman? You're finally online! We thought you'd quit the game because you were so disgusted!" Seeing the Research Madman online, Tyrannosaurus Warrior immediately approached, but the Research Madman was completely in no mood to pay him any attention, simply waving his hand and saying:

"Hey, I suddenly had a new idea, I'm heading to the library now!"

"A new inspiration?!" Upon hearing this, the Tyrannosaurus Warrior's eyes immediately lit up:
"Hurry up, hurry up! Remember to share the powerful spells you create!"

"If it succeeds." The research fanatic casually replied, then used Instant Step to rush into the library and headed straight for the bookshelf in the corner.

As the player who spent the most time in the Hidden Village Library, although I don't remember the location of every book, I do have some impression of where different types of books are located.

He quickly pulled out his "Introduction to Cultivation" textbook, and looking at the summaries of breathing techniques, meditation, and other related topics, the research fanatic switched to screenshot mode and started snapping photos like crazy...
