Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 233: Knoss's Works, Compensation for the Codex
[Transmutation Intuition (Limited): When analyzing, using, or breaking alchemical formulas, you will intuitively react to alternative solutions for related materials; this will accelerate the learning of alchemical formulas; your proficiency will increase more easily with practice.]

"Phew... I'm pretty lucky!"

Ling Xiao was quite satisfied with the result.

His experience had reached a bottleneck again, and now his energy naturally focused on his talent.

The alchemical codex obtained from the dream trial is like an inexhaustible mountain of gold.

The only regret is that he doesn't have a hoe to mine.

Now the arrival of [Transmutation Intuition] has undoubtedly helped Ling Xiao make a qualitative leap in alchemy!

After talent equipment.

The alchemical formula that was originally so subtle that it was difficult to detect was now clearly visible in Ling Xiao's eyes.

He was already very sensitive to elements, and at this moment he could see the remaining traces of alchemical formulas with just a glance.

After the dolls disappeared, the alchemical formula here still diligently tried to maintain the status quo.

The long years take time to pass.

Whether actively or passively, Knoss has transformed this floating island into a territory of alchemy!
If Ling Xiao stepped directly into the "duel arena" after landing on the island, the alchemy matrix that had been prepared long ago would be able to take effect instantly!
It was a devastating blow to him!

Facing an enemy with such a favorable terrain, Ling Xiao would probably have to work harder to win.

Fortunately, he noticed the hidden fluctuations underground in time, and was able to take off briefly.

The air-to-ground method forces the puppet to operate at high intensity, resulting in mistakes.

"Something crashed down from the sky, the earth cracked, and even the ocean underwent tremendous changes..."

Ling Xiao pondered the puppet's disorganized last words.

"Tsk... Despite such a disaster, humanity in this world didn't die out, and many of them survived in various forms... How amazing!"

In his opinion.

Civilization without people is meaningless.

No matter how much information and treasures are preserved, without living beings, they are all empty talk.

Who can we expect to read?

Who to rely on to inherit?

Although the indigenous people have now become strange beings such as the lost mind and the lost soul, there are also lonely souls like Captain Crane who are drifting on the sea and unable to return home, and monsters like Knoss who hide in the dolls to survive.

At least……

And there are “people”!
There are also "people" of that era who can say a few words to Ling Xiao!
There is no interruption in human civilization!

In his opinion, this harvest is much more precious than treasure.

of course.

It would be even better if there were treasures!
During the fierce battle between Ling Xiao and the puppet, the earth was torn and riddled with holes like a crumpled piece of paper.

In fact, not much of Ling Xiao’s violent attack was poured onto the earth. Most of it was the big scene caused by the puppets absorbing and manipulating the earth element.

And after the perfect fusion of alchemical formulas and magic, the connection between the earth and the dolls deepened.

This also resulted in the puppet being dead, but the remaining magic power was still trying to maintain the damaged alchemical matrix.

Ling Xiao stood on a relatively flat rock.

I wanted to try to analyze and learn these remaining alchemical formulas, but the results were rather nonsense.

Even though he already had a talent for alchemy.

But just like learning math formulas, the originally neat and clear formulas have now been erased to leave only a few numbers and symbols. How can we deduce the most basic formulas from them?

No matter how talented a person is, he or she cannot learn anything (except for those geniuses who directly create new formulas).

At least Ling Xiao is not that talented yet.

So he adopted the simplest and most brutal method.

One force can defeat ten!

He already sensed that something was hidden underground.

Since these remaining alchemical matrices are no longer worth learning, let’s destroy them!
No domain was used, just pure physical strength.

Ling Xiao transforms into a human hole-drilling machine!
bang bang bang-

Every punch that lands will stir up a lot of mud!
He used the罡气 flexibly in his hands, achieving the effect of precise blasting!
The earth cracked and rocks scattered!
After a while, Ling Xiao dug to the target depth.

Then he pushed aside the surrounding soil and pulled out the final reward that this floating island deserved.

[LV30 Excellent Treasure Chest (Inject Spiritual Power to Open...)]

【Content: To be opened???】

"It's hidden quite deeply!"

It was the first time that Ling Xiao saw a treasure chest hidden underground.

If other people defeated the puppet, it would be fine if they didn't get the reward, but they might not even have a way to leave.

But it could also be that he broke the doll himself.

Normally he should have defeated the puppet possessed by "Knos", but he ended up fusing the two!
The last one to be defeated is the puppet.

This is why normal settlement was not triggered.

Think for a moment while waiting, and as spiritual power is injected, the treasure chest opens!
[Teleportation Array Core Rune*1]

[Earth Core*19]

【Excellent Grade Alchemy Parts*78】

【Excellent Grade Alchemy Doll Power Furnace*3】

[Knos's book "Advanced Basic Alchemy Formulas and Simple Matrix Evolution"*1]

【Strange Source Core*1】

……

"Hiss... seems quite powerful!"

A light flashed in Ling Xiao's hand, and the harvest that made him most curious emerged into the world.

[Advanced Basic Alchemy Formulas and Introduction to Simple Matrix Evolution]

【Excellent quality】

[Note: Use only once; the contents will be instilled into the user after use, please be prepared to memorize]

Evaluation: At a time when alchemy was being vigorously promoted, this book became a must-read for all alchemy students in higher education institutions due to its accessible, comprehensive, and detailed content.

"A disposable item...it's truly precious!"

Ling Xiao was a little excited.

It’s not that he hasn’t used disposable props before, but they were all consumables like magic scrolls and fire bombs.

It’s not that I haven’t seen props that can be used for learning before, but I’ve never seen one of such high quality!
Just when he was excited, the alchemy notebook, which had been well-behaved, suddenly began to tremble abnormally.

Ling Xiao took out the sealed object and found that there was a subtle connection between the two.

"You...you want to eat it?"

The Alchemy Codex cannot speak.

But the general meaning is correct!

Now, Ling Xiao was in a dilemma.

As for the Sealed Object, he was aware of its unpredictable power and had always been wary of it.

Because Qi Heng's heart was destroyed by the seal.

After learning the truth, Ling Xiao almost gave his buddy a heartfelt performance to eliminate this big hidden danger!

If it weren’t for the mysterious proprietress in the City of Desire who helped the two of them suppress the hidden danger.

Afterwards, he would really think of using space secrets such as extra-dimensional fission to get rid of the plague god lurking in Qi Heng's chest!
During the period after obtaining the [Flamer Alchemy Notebook], Ling Xiao has been reaping benefits from it.

Perfect spellcasting in terms of magic...

A novel recipe for potions...

The talisman transmission in the formation... It can be said that the Alchemy Notes did not let him down in any way, but instead brought him quite important help!

But Ling Xiao still didn't dare to take it lightly.

This is a collaboration between both parties with positive feedback.

If one day the alchemy notebook asked Ling Xiao to sacrifice a few fresh hearts or do something cruel like that.

Then he would have to consider putting this sealed object aside.

At the moment, although the Alchemy Notebook did not do anything bad, it simply wanted to "eat" this very important work in the field of alchemy.

But Ling Xiao still couldn't help but think more.

Will this lead to any unpredictable consequences?

Will the sealed object be able to break free from its "seal"?

Think about it for a moment.

He chose to speak his mind.

The past performance of the Alchemy Notebook shows that it can communicate to a certain extent, so if you have any questions, you might as well ask it directly!
"Mr. Flamel, what would happen if I gave you this alchemical book?"

【Knowledge is the best food for the notebook! 】

[After devouring it, the codex will retain all alchemical formulas and permanently engrave them. You can consume a certain amount of spiritual power to use the codex to perform the engraved alchemical formulas and alchemical matrices!]

"So, feeding you this book is a good thing?"

Ling Xiao had some novel ideas. "Then can I feed you all the other books? Then I can ask you for them when I need them?"

He took away the ancient books that Sartre had studied all his life.

These things caused the death of an abnormal being. It would be a lie to say that Ling Xiao was not afraid.

Ling Xiao’s mentality is very simple.

He wanted to figure something out from it, but he didn't want to trigger any hidden dangers that would backfire on him.

Now that he suddenly discovered that [Flamer's Alchemical Notes] could be used as an extraordinary version of the "Little Genius Reading Machine" from another world, he naturally wanted to use this medium to achieve his goals.

[I crave knowledge! I hate fallacies! If you try to forcefully analyze and record incorrect knowledge, not only will you fail, but you will actually suffer backlash!]

"Isn't it okay to just browse and analyze it?"

Disgust! Hate! Sin! Knowledge is the essence that requires self-study and exploration! Taking shortcuts and being cunning and deceitful are undoubtedly blasphemy against knowledge!

[The codex will bring down punishment, I hope you can be an honest and conscientious student! ]

blah-

Lingxiao's hair stood on end.

As he sensed the crisis, a surging aura enveloped his entire body.

puff!
A muffled sound came from above my head.

Ling Xiao looked up and saw a flash of lightning hitting the protective Qi and shattering and dissipating.

[Hate studying! Hate studying! The punishment will be doubled! Severe!]

[Warning! Warning! If you continue to hold onto improper learning concepts, the punishment from the Codex will continue to intensify!]

"You're going to hit me and you won't let me block it!? What kind of bullshit is this!?"

Ling Xiao was stunned, but he quickly withdrew his defenses before a new round of lightning struck.

puff!

puff!

Two thick and long purple-blue lightning bolts hit him at lightning speed.

to be honest……

Ling Xiao had fought a fierce battle with that LV30 alchemy doll but had never suffered such serious injuries.

And sometimes, especially when Ling Xiao has already honed himself to a certain level.

It is also a challenge for him to try to control his instincts and not resist spontaneously!

This is as unbearable as watching a slap in the face and trying not to dodge.

"Ugh..."

Ling Xiao stretched his muscles.

Smoke was coming out of his body, and the two punitive thunders from the codex did not cause much damage.

But it still hurts a little!
"I'm just asking. It hasn't been implemented yet! There's no need to punish me severely just for an idea, right?"

【…】

【…】

The Alchemy Notes, which was just filled with righteous indignation and expressed its irreconcilable opposition to "academic fraud", suddenly fell silent.

After waiting for a while, he continued to respond.

[Failed to retrieve the newly input error knowledge, compensating for two non-consumable burns]

"Boiled!"

"You really did react to that sensitive word and made the wrong move!"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, "How can two times be enough? How can I absolve the damage done to my fragile heart? Four more times, to make a more auspicious number!"

[One additional compensation, a total of three burns can be used without consumption. Please put the relevant props into the seal as soon as possible...]

This time Ling Xiao was really surprised.

It turns out that you can really bargain with sealed objects!
"Not enough! One time isn't enough to show your sincerity. And you want this book, and I haven't decided whether to give it to you or not!"

Ling Xiao said with full energy, "Since you like this genuine knowledge so much, you surely don't want me to swallow it whole and forget most of it, right?"

"This item can only be used once! If I forget, it would be a waste! If you want it, try it more often!"

[Compensation three times in total! The cost of learning one additional alchemy matrix is ​​waived! Teachers don't like students who cheat, even if they're trying to learn! This is the first time, and the last time!]

Ling Xiao knows how to quit while you are ahead.

After discovering that the Codex would rather give him an alchemical matrix for free than compensate him more, he readily nodded and agreed to the conditions.

"Here! Take it!"

As soon as Knos's works came into contact with the alchemical codex, the former turned into a ball of colorful light and was absorbed by the latter.

Ling Xiao immersed his mind into the sealed object again and discovered that there was a lot of alchemical knowledge that he could read and learn.

What he focused on most were the various alchemical matrices.

According to the notebook, you can choose any one and skip the learning process directly.

That is to say, master it directly!
This is so cool!
Ling Xiao needs to study hard and decide which one to choose!
Don't rush to choose.

He checked out the other hauls.

The Earth Vein Crystal Core is a high-quality ore with a rich earth element.

It is equivalent to the product that was created after the puppet "refined" this floating island over the years.

It can directly provide energy for alchemical creations and is also an excellent choice as a magical material.

It turns out there must be more of them, but most of them were used by the puppet to fight against me...

What a sin...

The remaining alchemical products are basically the parts needed to forge and assemble alchemical dolls.

The most valuable of them is undoubtedly the excellent alchemical matrix miniature core.

After taking a quick look at Professor Knos's book, Ling Xiao had a rough idea in his mind, even though he hadn't gotten started yet.

He was certain that even if he mastered the book, he would not be able to make an alchemical doll by hand.

Because his skills in the most critical core area are far from enough.

but……

The treasure chest exploded!
Moreover, he already had all the other materials, including the power furnace to drive the puppet. He was confident, even quite confident, that he could create an alchemical puppet!

After all, assembling a robot is much easier than developing a robot algorithm!
"I made a profit! This time I really made a fortune!"
