Chapter 93 Second-Ring Perception Magic [Perception Diffusion]

Rose mentally browsed through books on magic. At first, Rose wasn't used to operating in her mind, but after a while, she became proficient.

He discovered that whenever the pages in his mind flipped through, the mysterious runes on the surface of the machine on the desktop would flash alternately as if breathing, and the brightness and frequency of the light would constantly change accordingly.

Rose was able to roughly determine the basic principle of this machine, which was to utilize the two most fundamental and core characteristics of rationality—

Reason inherently possesses the power of perception and the ability to intervene in reality.

Use rational perception to render a picture in your mind, and then use rational intervention to transmit it back to the machine, which then changes the rendered picture.

Furthermore, almost all the energy consumed in the entire process comes from this machine, with Rose only consuming a very small amount of concentration.

The images rendered in the mind do not require mental effort.

Because essentially, it is this machine that is rendering, and then Rose uses her rational perception to "see" this image.

However, it is not simply "looking". He can also use the real-world intervention power attached to reason to transmit instructions such as flipping and clicking back to the machine, just like operating a touch screen.

This world's technological system is truly amazing.

Rose immediately realized that this created a barrier, because anyone who wanted to borrow magic books had to do so through this system.

This method of borrowing requires a certain level of rationality, so ordinary people cannot access magic books at all; only magicians can.

Rose discovered that some interfaces required increased rational intervention to unlock.

For example, he is currently browsing the "First Ring Road" section, while he cannot browse the "Second Ring Road" section at all. However, as he gradually strengthens the intervention of reason and reaches the Second Ring Road level, the entire machine instantly feeds back the books in the "Second Ring Road" section to Rose.

This is another tiered threshold: first-circle mages can borrow first-circle books, and second-circle mages can borrow second-circle books.

It looked very sophisticated, and Rose had some suspicions about why magic-related books were being guarded so closely and required to be selected through the operating system.

Because those who borrow these books are all magicians, and as magicians, even those who have been killed, they can easily steal the knowledge from the books using copying magic, thanks to the extraordinary power brought by their reason.

In addition, the area is remote and close to slums, so the magicians in this place generally have more flexible bottom lines.

In some ways, it was even more dangerous than those mages who weren't killed.

Therefore, books on magic need to be regulated to a certain extent.

Rose played with the interface as if it were a new toy.

This way of being presented directly in the brain is somewhat like his own dashboard, but it is completely different.

After playing for a while, Rosey finally chose the books she wanted to borrow:

"Second-Ring General Perception Magic - [Perception Diffusion]: Rune Fundamentals and Rune Connection Methods"

This book contains a second-circle universal spell—[Perception Diffusion].

It not only records the connections and combinations of runes, but also the basics of runes.

Rose had experienced this firsthand when learning the second-circle spell, [Cyclic Fireball], and that learning rune basics could greatly accelerate the learning speed of magic.

Rose quickly skimmed through the first few pages of preview content and discovered that besides various schools of magic, such as Rose's [Wind Net Perception] which belongs to the Storm School, there is also a general type of magic, which does not belong to any school and is simply the ultimate development of rational abilities.

Or rather, this kind of magic is more like the superpower of telekinesis expressed in some literary works from the past.

Rose had previously encountered a homeless man who robbed him of his food, and then used his rationality to intervene in reality and kill him.

This second-circle magic simply utilizes the amplification and enhancement of various runes to develop the rational perception of the outside world to its limit.

The range is similar to [Wind Net Perception], which has a radius of 700 meters, while this spell has a radius of 760 meters.

The range is about 1 meter.

This doesn't mean that this second-circle spell is bad; its range is about the same as a first-circle spell.

Rather, it's because the [Wind Network Perception] has been improved too much. This magic combines the rational intervention in reality with the perception function to form a magic.

The advantages are low sanity requirements, large range, and decent penetration performance. The disadvantages are relatively low accuracy, poor anti-interference ability due to its reliance on wind networks, and near-complete removal of the social functions of perception-based magic.

Then, Rose also found a "General Magic Terminology Handbook".

Because this book, which records the magic of "Perception Diffusion," is similar to the economics books that Rose had read before, it throws in a thunderous term every two pages, with all sorts of professional terms and nouns, and you simply can't understand it without a relevant glossary.

After making her selection, Rose clicked the "OK" button on the screen.

Then, the rational power that had been used to intervene and perceive was withdrawn, and the runes on the machine began to flash and operate, eventually undergoing some kind of change on the side facing the librarian.

The runes on the machine flashed alternately, displaying two book numbers.

She glanced at it and nodded, then said to Luo Saibo, "Alright, magician, I'll go get the book you chose for you now."

Rose nodded, then left the counter and went upstairs to the library.

Rosen stayed put and fiddled with the machine on the table for a while longer.

After a while, she came over carrying two thick books.

Rose withdrew her senses and turned to look at her.

She slammed the two thick books down on the table, and a thick layer of dust fell from the slightly raised covers.

She looked at Luo Saibo: "Esteemed magician, would you like to take it away directly, or borrow it here for a day?"

Rose thought for a moment, realizing it was almost noon and he needed to go back to cook for Tiana, so he said, "I want to borrow it for a week."

The administrator nodded, then fiddled around for a while before saying to Rose, "Magician, these two books cost 800 marks to borrow for a week, but a three-fold deposit is required, so the total cost is 3200 marks."

Rose nodded and took out 3200 marks from the money bag in his pocket and placed it on the table.

The librarian handed the book to Rose, who then carried it out of the library.

Soon, he arrived home.

He unlocked the door and heard Tiana running to the door.

Then Tiana saw Rose holding two books, tilted her head, and said, "Rose, let me help you carry them!"

Rose assessed the weight of the book and judged that Tiana probably couldn't lift it and might even bump into it.

So he said to Tiana, "No need, I'll put it back inside first, you wash the vegetables."

Tiana nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then he dashed into the kitchen in a flash.

Rose put the book and the bag of money into the house, and then made lunch with Tiana.

After the two finished eating, Rose gave Tiana some instructions and then returned to the house to begin studying the second-circle perception spell, "Perception Diffusion," from the "General Magic Terminology Handbook."
