The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 82 Inspection a resounding success!

"Sir, everything you requested has arrived."

Ma Wei, who was in charge of delivering the goods, looked at Li Wei with a smile, and then called on two other comrades to help carry the things into the yard.

"You bought so much stuff? Isn't Luogu Lane only open at night?"

"Have you forgotten? The Brownstone Gang is one of ours now. They have a lot of illegal supernatural materials in their inventory, which we just moved over. Besides, what you want isn't anything particularly rare, so collecting it shouldn't be difficult."

Li Wei nodded, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "Go back and tell Barney to keep an eye out for these things when he has time."

"Ruby and sapphire, agate, emerald, citrine, tourmaline, obsidian, carnelian, turquoise, amethyst, amber —"

"Sir, I can't remember!" Mawei was almost in tears.

I thought it was just a delivery task, hoping to make myself known to the adults, but it suddenly started testing my memory.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll write you a note."

A few minutes later, after finishing writing his wish list, Li Wei watched Ma Wei leave, then turned to the little black cat crouching on the ground and said, "You see, having subordinates is quite convenient."

"You don't have to find things yourself, or even pay for them yourself."

"—So what do you need so many gemstones and crystals for?" Felicia looked up at Levi: "To make jewelry?"

Li Wei sighed, "Sigh, and you still call yourself a genius."

"Haven't you ever wondered why the circuit board uses pure silver as its primary conductor?"

Felicia shook her head: "Who would understand this?"

"Okay—I thought that even if ordinary people didn't know this, a top student like you should at least know it."

O

"I never expected this—"

Under Felicia's murderous glare, Levi slowly began to explain.

"Actually, there is a very important point in the loop creation method written in the administrator's notes."

"That means certain minerals can be used to store psionic energy."

"Some things even have good psionic energy conduction capabilities."

"This is exactly what I saw in an ancient book from the unified empire era called the Book of Arcane Arts in the forbidden book section."

"That book divides magic into several major categories."

"These are the basic arts, the arts of creation, the arts of potions, the arts of curses, the mysteries of minerals, and the metamorphosis of species."

"The basic techniques are physical enhancement, psionic shaping, and elemental manipulation."

"The art of creation refers to the creation of familiars and magical puppets."

"Potions and curses, as their names suggest, are two relatively narrow categories."

"What is worth studying is that potions and curses, which were once classified as magic, seem to be quite different from modern alchemical potions and curse rituals."

"Finally, there are the mysteries of minerals and the transformation of species."

"The former is what I just introduced, which is about the use of different minerals, and how to make them into items that store psionic energy, and even use them as a medium for casting spells."

"Species evolution—focuses on the modification and changes to animals, plants, and even the human body."

Felicia was quick to understand, after all, these technologies were still in use in the world today, only the names had changed and some names were no longer used.

After Li Wei explained it in his own words, Felicia suddenly realized: "Oh—so there used to be a special category."

"That's a claim I've never heard of before."

As she spoke, Felicia looked at Levi: "Similar methods do exist in this era."

"You probably noticed that when you were dealing with the mechanical dolls, right? It's not just a simple gem."

"It must have been optimized by modern alchemists and mechanics."

"They usually only collect gemstone fragments, and then process them to form a new type of energy-conducting crystal."

"As for how to process it, and what kind of gemstone or crystal fragments to use, it depends on the purpose of this thing."

"And according to your classification—my methods of manipulating plants should essentially be considered species transformation?"

'

Felicia was excited about the new knowledge she had acquired, and her tail began to wag involuntarily.

"Remember to show me that book tomorrow!"

"It's on my desk in the office. You can look it up yourself if you want; I haven't put it back on the shelf yet."

After finishing speaking, Li Wei looked at Felicia and said, "I'll start the experiment in a bit."

"Be careful, don't let anyone in. If someone knocks, pretend no one's home. If it's the old man, let him in."

Felicia nodded: "No problem, boss, leave it to me! Oh, and don't forget the big meal you promised!"

"The location has been arranged. You'd better pray my experiment goes smoothly; otherwise, we'll have to reschedule."

Levi was already very familiar with making circuit boards; he could even do it with his eyes closed.

-

It is a difficult and complex task.

but----

What he is now creating is not an external object, but a purely psionic construct that can be implanted into the body, as described in the notes, existing between reality and illusion.

Li Wei didn't know how many loops he could create with his second-level psionic energy reserves.

But one thing is certain: the energy consumption of psionic constructs is far greater than that of engraving on a silver plate.

Holding his breath and concentrating, the temporary spiritual energy that the second energy level can store is more than three times that of the first energy level.

The original upper limit of 30 points increased to 100 after advancing to the second energy level.

Adding the forty points of spiritual energy he had previously stored in Shadow Wolf, and the twenty points he had stored in his body, he now had an extra sixty points of spiritual energy.

That is, 160 points.

The newly acquired psionic aptitude can optimize one's psionic control and reduce energy consumption.

After taking a deep breath, Li Wei began to construct.

In the quiet environment of the tool shed, in the ritualistic atmosphere of the empty shell that enveloped the entire dwelling, psionic energy left Livy's body at his command, drawing lines in the air.

Pale blue psionic energy intertwined in mid-air, gradually forming a blank template.

Soon, thick, light green lines with vertical turns were drawn on the template.

Sweat beaded rapidly on Li Wei's forehead; he knew it was almost time.

Just a few more steps.

He reached out and picked up a thinned silver plate from the table, which had been prepared in advance and was soaking in water filled with sage.

Then throw it into the pattern in mid-air.

The silver plate was lifted up, and Li Wei began to recite the final ritual.

"I draw starlight from my dreams."

"Just like a new sprout breaking through the soil."

"May the pulse of life resonate here, returning to balance."

As the brief prayer was finished, the physical silver plate began to appear ethereal, while the patterns seemed to become as solid as they actually were.

But it seemed like just an illusion.

The next moment, the things that had been in front of Li Wei vanished instantly, turning into liquid and light, dripping onto the back of Li Wei's right hand.

Then, Li Wei felt something new moving and falling inside his body.

Then it becomes part of one's own body.

After experiencing this subtle sensation as described in the records, Li Wei let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Phew—it worked!"
