Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 94 Ram's move exceeded the examiner's cognition

Ram has his own unique understanding of divine guidance.

In his opinion, divine guidance should also be considered a means of bringing good luck.

After all, bringing gains in all aspects may improve a person's luck.

If you are lucky, everything will be convenient.

He has a deep understanding of this.

Sometimes Ram would also suspect that maybe the rules governing the operation of this world were that there was a supreme god rolling the dice, and the number of the dice determined everything, and his was always a little bigger.

Divine guidance may just be adding a little extra when rolling the dice.

Therefore, Ram believes that luck should also be something that can be controlled.

And not only living things, but also objects should have their own luck.

Boss Jia Xiu always liked to do experiments requiring large equipment between 6 and 10 in the morning, and he also liked to drag him along.

In the boss's words, he thought doing so was "good feng shui" and that the probability of the experiment's success would be higher.

At first he didn't know what "feng shui" meant, but later he understood that it was similar to luck.

If the boss believes that objects also have luck, then objects do have luck.

The boss is always right.

Believe first, then trust.

"Come on, Big Head, let's make something awesome."

Big Head named the hammer. He named every component in the blacksmith shop, and sometimes he would chat with the hammer, anvil, and bellows.

He felt that objects must have souls and were just placed in the wrong place, because he could occasionally hear Big Head talking back.

Divine guidance should be useful for things with souls.

Based on this understanding, Ram decided to develop a super effective divine guidance technique for objects.

This makes sense.

At least he thought it was reasonable.

So Ram's plan was to first knock out a mechanical gadget, then create a divine guidance technique that would be useful for the gadget, and finally show it to the examiner.

Let him also feel that it’s super awesome to do this!

So, when the other nine candidates were studying the art of divine guidance, Ram swung a sledgehammer and used various craftsman's props with great skill. He operated carefully and meticulously. He was completely immersed in his own art of manufacturing and had no idea what the world was.

Such a strange behavior also attracted the examiner's attention, and Phantom strolled over to Ram.

As an experienced examiner who has supervised countless exams, he usually has no interest in the actions of the candidates.

How much new things can a spellcaster of this level come up with? He has seen everything...

I haven't seen this today.

The examiner watched Ram's skillful operation and soon became fascinated.

Although I don't understand what exactly what Ram is doing has to do with divine guidance, the movements look neat and pleasing to the eye.

Who can resist watching a skilled craftsman at work?

It wasn't long before Ram had hammered and polished out a bunch of parts.

He deftly assembled the scattered parts, and the examiner gradually understood what he had made.

A small model of a trebuchet.

But after understanding it, he became even more confused.

Why make a catapult for the spell test?
After Ram finished making his "super awesome" catapult, he finally started adjusting his divine guidance.

Ram unfolded the circuit and adjusted the runes extremely quickly, as neatly as he worked as a blacksmith, and there was almost no sign of thinking.

The examiner was a little surprised. How could it be so efficient? Shouldn't a normal spellcaster stare at the rune for a long time before making even a small modification?
Could it be that this candidate had already thought of everything when he was making the catapult?

Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.

Before he could figure out the matter, something even more confusing to the examiner occurred.

He found that he couldn't understand the purpose of Ram's modifications.

Every time he thought he understood, Ram's next move would break his original guess.

After making many changes, it finally completely deviated from the logic of the spells he had learned.

It feels like it can be used, but it also feels like it can't be used.

He couldn't say for sure whether it would work or not.

At this moment, the examiner was a little doubtful about his ability. Was he too bad?
No, it's impossible, absolutely not.

After calming down a bit, the examiner concluded that the candidate named Ram was simply unable to come up with a good idea and started rambling. There are candidates like this every year.

Just when the examiner finally regained his confidence, Ram finished adjusting his divine guidance technique.

He walked to the catapult and cast a spell. The moment the magical light came on, the examiner's eyes widened.

The spell was cast successfully, this thing actually works!

The understanding of magic built up over the years was slightly shaken at this moment.

"Ram is done!"

Ram raised his hand.

This sound startled many people in the examination room, and they all looked at him. Only two hours had passed, and he was already done?

Submitting the paper early always causes a lot of anxiety to other people in the same examination room.

Although his views on magic were wavering, the examiner still performed his duties responsibly.

"Are you not going to revise it anymore? There will be no chance after confirmation."

Ram shook his head.

"Well then, what spell did you modify?"

"Divine guidance that makes machines more useful."

"WTF?"

The examiner's view of magic suffered a second shock.

"It's the divine guidance technique that makes machines more useful."

"What's the effect?"

“Make the machine more useful.”

These three sentences made the examiner fall into deep self-doubt.

"Well, can you demonstrate it?"

"This is Tou Tou, a small trebuchet," Ram introduced the trebuchet he had made as if introducing a friend. "Now it's blessed by divine guidance, so it's very happy. When Tou Tou is happy, it will throw farther and more accurately."

The examiner looked at the catapult and saw that there was indeed a divine guidance spell in effect that he could not understand.

"Prove it."

Ram operated the catapult and threw out a small piece of iron, which was estimated to be nearly 30 meters away. For a toy-sized catapult model, this distance was indeed exaggerated.

Then Ram threw the second block, which landed accurately within ten centimeters of the first block. The third and fourth blocks also fell within the range.

So accurate?
The examiner was a little surprised.

"Is it possible that your catapult is well made?"

As he spoke, he dispelled the divine guidance from the catapult.

Ram demonstrated again, but this time he could only throw half the distance of last time, and his accuracy was greatly reduced.

"why?"

The examiner couldn't understand.

"You add more."

Ram cast a spell, and the catapult became useful again.

The examiner covered his head, unable to believe what he saw.

"What's the principle?"

"Ram said it was blessed by divine guidance, so it's happy, and when it's happy, it works better."

"are you serious?"

"Of course Ram is serious."

"No, no, there's definitely something wrong."

He couldn't accept such a weird reason that the machine was happy and therefore more useful.

"No problem. Ram made the trebuchet for demonstration purposes, but it can be used elsewhere."

As he spoke, he cast a spell on the bellows, and the fire in the furnace burned brighter, and he cast a spell on the grinding wheel, and the wheel turned faster.

Jia Xiu at the next laboratory table also noticed this.

He and the examiner were almost as shocked.

Did this allow Ram to realize the "Great Joy of the Machine Soul"?
