Chapter 143 Company News, Baboon Examiner

The golden and red twilight burned on the waves of the sea.

The lighthouse keeper came from a distance, stepping on the gravel of the headland.

People had gathered outside the wall as agreed, and when they saw Lin Bo, they waved the "Stone Tower News" newspaper in their hands at him.

Today's headline is that Shita Town Weixiangmei Food Company was officially established, and Duke Anche of Jinbei City announced his investment. The delicious powder that caused a sensation in Hongdu and shocked the royal family will soon flow into the market.

Since the advent of the laser printer, the circulation of the Shita Town newspaper has skyrocketed. The second issue sold 400 copies, and the third issue sold 800 copies, meaning almost every resident in the town had a copy.

The townspeople now had one more thing to do in their daily lives: reading the newspaper and doing homework. Not everyone was interested in the homework set by the night watchman, but it was at least an interesting topic of conversation. Especially when they came across some health knowledge that was ahead of its time, they would be surprised and exclaim.

Women rose early to discuss the night watchman and his homework in the bakery. Students were ordered by their teachers to finish their homework after class. Fishermen and sailors in the tavern, while drinking, would show their children's homework to their companions, and everyone would praise their children for their intelligence and understanding.

In the evening, people gathered at the lighthouse, taking advantage of the fact that the night watchman had not yet arrived, and gathered in groups of three or four to exchange news and check answers, just like a group of students waiting for an exam outside the teaching building, with arguments breaking out from time to time.

As Lin Bo approached, the townspeople made way for him.

When the door of the lighthouse opened, a red-haired baboon came out, carrying a stool and a small table, placed them in the yard, and then sat upright on the stool.

This was the chief examiner, responsible for marking newspaper exercises. Lin Bo rubbed a pair of thin-framed glasses for it, and after putting them on, the ferocious beast's face became kind and amiable.

A worker with a sore shoulder and neck walked to the table and handed in his homework. He watched the baboon pick up the red ink pen and brush to correct it. He felt nervous, his eyes fixed on the series of check marks, and the corners of his mouth curled higher and higher.

"Full marks!" he shouted.

The crowd behind him cheered for him.

The baboon handed the newspaper back and rang the bell. The worker happily tipped his hat to the big guy and trotted into the lighthouse.

Lin Bo sat under the lamp, checking the network prompts.

[Skill judgment successful, [True Word Illusion] basic proficiency +1]

[Exquisiteness coefficient × 1.5 (slightly ingenious)]

【Health status coefficient × 1.6 (excellent)】

[Inspiration Proficiency +2 (The Terrifying Mask of the Examiner)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Illusion] proficiency +4.4

Let robots pretend to be baboons to correct the townspeople's homework. They will only care about whether their answers are correct and will not doubt the authenticity of the illusion before their eyes.

Furthermore, grading homework was much faster than seeing a doctor. Even if the visitors didn't have a patient appointment, they would still submit their homework. This face-to-face interaction triggered more frequent illusion proficiency checks.

For Lin Bo, this was also a pleasant surprise.

From time to time, loud shouts could be heard outside the lighthouse. Some idiot had copied homework incorrectly and was being laughed at by the onlookers.

Lin Bo massaged the worker in front of him and used a small needle knife to cut through the fascia that had adhered to his shoulder and neck. However, his most serious injury was the disabled fingers on his left hand.

In his backpack, there is a bundle of metal neurons differentiated from the second generation of fungi. Lin Bo has been running maps with it for three or four days, and these neurons still maintain good vitality. After absorbing water, organic matter and electrical energy, the animistic language they speak is still as lively and enthusiastic as when they just left the fungal mat.

These metal neurons most likely meet the needs of prosthetic transplantation and can survive on their own. After fusing with the host's neuronal cells, they can have a relatively long service life.

Lin Bo held the worker's broken, rough palm and looked at it, thinking about the mechanical structure of the prosthesis in his mind.

The worker twitched his two remaining fingers timidly and shyly, but did not try to take back his disabled hand. He let the doctor look at it. The thick sweat hairs, bulging blue veins, thick calluses, and muddy nails made the worker's hands not an attractive sight at all.

Lin Bo came to his senses and let go.

The worker smiled, hid his disabled hand in his pocket, thanked him loudly, and stood up to leave.

"Wait." The night watchman stopped him and handed him a piece of white paper. "Come, register your name and address. I'll send someone to notify you in two days. Come back then."

"What's the matter, night watchman? Is there any sequelae to my shoulder?" The worker took the pen obediently, gripped the pen with his thick fingers, and wrote in large characters.

"I won't harm you. Okay, that's it." Lin Bo smiled and wrote down the disability status on the registration form.

The crazy dwarf's mechanical prosthesis is designed for animals and needs to be redesigned to be used on humans.

Moreover, without using the mantra control technique, connecting metal nerves with pure medical technology is also a complicated operation.

Only by lowering the threshold can we promote it.

He plans to spend some time designing mechanical prosthetic limbs for human limbs to restore the quality of life for the disabled people in Shita Town.

He has registered all the disabled people who come to Dengta for medical treatment. And this is just a small number of people.

Amputation surgery was very common in this era. Minor injuries and illnesses could result in the patient being put on the doctor's theatrical operating table and having his hands and feet cut off with a saw in public.

Lin Bo heard that the doctors at the clinic would apply whale oil mixed with herbs to wounds. This is an ancient folk remedy in the Windward Islands that can reduce the mortality rate from infection.

Besides its ability to isolate microorganisms, the magical energy contained in whale oil also had a slight healing effect. This, even if it was a fortuitous result, increased the injured person's chances of survival.

Lin Bo has very few medicines that can treat infections. Apart from herbs and alcohol, the best one is the high-function hemostatic gel dropped in the [Distant Star Botanical Garden] copy, which can kill most of the microorganisms in the wound.

The sooner you get the technical information of Voyager Company, the better.

After nightfall, Lin Bo once again recruited teammates on the public screen of the [Distant Star Botanical Garden] channel.

He is going to challenge an extremely difficult dungeon for a nine-person team tomorrow, but the online players don't seem very interested and their words are filled with fear.

[Swift Shadow Beast]: Friends, listen to my advice, sign up quickly, you won’t be cheated. There is a super thigh brother in the team

[Astrology Fan]: I uploaded a six-person difficult running record, you can refer to the strength of our team

[Gunshot]: Want to experience the thrill of being carried around the map by a tough guy or a tough girl without getting hurt? Sign up now, we're short three players for six!

After Lin Bo sent the message, his teammates online immediately jumped up and cheered for him.

After a while, three old players were tricked into joining the team. They originally belonged to a four-person team, but one of their teammates accidentally died in battle. In the past two days, he was in a weak state and unable to run around the map. The remaining three came to the team formed by Lin Bo.

Everyone introduces themselves as usual in the team channel.

Good morning, noon and evening everyone, I am a level 6 magician, a full-time alchemist, good at healing, and also has some long-range skills.

[No Trace]: Level 7 Trickster, this dungeon is not very friendly to me (bitter), so now I have learned to put bombs into the enemy's body (smile)

[Desolate Whirl]: Level 6 warlock, good at melee and ranged combat, please take good care of me.

After deciding on the team members, Lin Bo exited the team channel and began his nightly study schedule.

Chapter 144: Heavenly Fire Righteousness, Jin Bei Visitor

night.

Around ten o'clock, smoke from the first-floor kitchen drifted through the window into the second-floor study. Lin Bo sniffed gently, judging the stage of transformation of the ingredients' properties.

Cooking is also a form of alchemy. When the aromas fully blended, the Scent of the Marrow chapter added a proficiency check, and Lin Bo rose from the table and went downstairs.

After having his first midnight snack of the night, Lin Bo went outside the lighthouse and headed for the rocky beach at the edge of the cape.

He needed to familiarize himself with the newly made equipment and help digest his food.

The mage stood on the pebble beach washed by the waves.

He gently pressed the wooden box hanging at his waist, raised his hand to form a sword seal, chanted the true name of the fungus, and started the resonance of the second-level word spirit.

A brilliant silver ring suddenly jumped out of the box and hovered in front of him. The true name runes on the leaves of the ring flickered slightly, and dark blue whale fire suddenly seeped out from the pattern, enveloping the ring in scorching flames. The arc of electricity spread and crackled.

As he activated the Fierce Control Technique, the ring vibrated at a high frequency, and magical energy surged out. The blazing whale fire expanded into a chakra, radiating heat waves that scorched the night sea water to a hissing sound.

The metallic mycelium glowed slightly red in the heat, but showed no signs of melting. Lin Bo had been feeding the second-generation strains magical metals over the past few days, primarily sea gray steel and some ore materials dropped from the affix treasure chest.

Today, the gold-eating bacteria form an unknown alloy material with significantly improved heat resistance. Although it is slightly inferior to pure gray steel, it can also withstand the whale fire blessed by the Fierce Control Technique.

Lin Bo maintained a sense of open-mindedness, the primary emotion driving the Fierce Control Technique. He then attempted to push the ring, his mind tightening as if he were falling from the boundless sky into a turbulent river.

The ring flew out, but the shockwaves weakened and the whale fire sphere quickly collapsed.

The Flow Control Technique and the Fierce Control Technique are incompatible, and no matter how many times I try, I always end up failing. This is a pity.

However, in order to fully unleash the power of the Whale Fire Ring, it is necessary to combine these two control techniques.

The mage pondered silently, "Since they can't coexist, why not use the Flow Control Technique to simulate the Fierce Control Technique? High-frequency back-and-forth motion is oscillation."

Lin Bo began to push the whale fire ring, making it move back and forth.

It swung back and forth within a few millimeters of travel, appearing almost motionless, but the lingering whale fire was pulsing.

The trajectory of the circular force was twisted by the flow control technique, forming a short line, and the direction of the force kept switching left and right.

The harder the force is pushed, the faster the direction changes and the higher the vibration frequency.

When casting his name word spirit, Lin Bo has excellent control over his body and mind. He can command his emotions and thus maintain the belief in the control technique for a long time.

The art of controlling the flow lies in being impatient, with the mind as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, and the things he controls are the arrows on the string.

Limbaugh keeps pushing his emotions.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the resonant tactile sensation. The vibration transmitted back by the ring made him feel that his body and soul were shaking.

The emotions that continued to brew became more and more turbulent, and the whale fire burning on the ring became more and more intense, but it was still no match for the Fierce Control Technique.

He felt as if he was standing on the tip of a volcano, with millions of tons of hot magma ready to burst forth beneath his feet.

Lin Bo simply continued to command his mind, to be more radical, and to take a further step forward.

Suddenly, the strong emotions pushed by him reached a certain limit, triggering the instinctive reaction of his heart. The taut heartstrings broke, and all the anxiety exploded and dissipated like gunpowder, as if a volcano had erupted, shattering his heart.

After a moment, the restlessness in my mind dissipated, leaving only faint memories lingering.

Lin Bo opened his eyes and saw the whale fire ring floating in front of him, with blazing flames filling the inner ring, like a blue sun.

His attempt failed, and he was unable to successfully simulate it. Instead, he unconsciously transitioned from the Flow Control Technique to the Fierce Control Technique.

But there was a moment when these two arts of control could coexist without conflict. In this moment, there was no thought, no imagination, and the mood turned from impatience to relaxation, in a state of change.

If the two beliefs in control techniques are like two sides of a coin, then Lin Bo just reached the side of the coin.

This transformation process is very similar to the instantaneous burst and convergence when forming seals and casting spells. And the intermediate state is similar to the unintentional state when practicing the "Bound Mind and Thought Movement Method".

Lin Bo felt that he had grasped the key to the parallel control technique.

“Since I can only keep one belief in my heart, I will let the other belief become instinct. I don’t need to control my emotions, but let my emotions control me.”

Lin Bo planned to use the method of focusing his mind to maintain the Liezhi Control Technique. After all, this control technique was very pure and did not require imagination and logical thinking like the Liu and Sheng control techniques.

He would use hand seals to evoke the faith of the fierce control technique, without thinking, and directly immerse himself in the state of focusing his mind. This way, he could concentrate on controlling the flow control technique.

At this time, there was still some mana left, and the Whale Fire Ring contained about 30% to 40% of its magical energy, enough to support him in his attempt.
