Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

Patients who had received prosthetic limbs and their families returned home in the dark night, carrying lanterns, and their warm and brilliant laughter could be heard in the wind.

Lin Bo returned to the third floor, tidied up the long table used for making prosthetic limbs, and made a brief summary of the mechanical design problems encountered today.

Checking the initial prototype of the prosthetic limb again, the moment his finger touched it, a prompt suddenly popped up on the comprehensive network information board.

[Historical reverberations detected, sacrifice relics to retrieve the space-time slice collection.]

Lin Bo couldn't help but smile as he looked at this iron lump made of magical metal.

Chapter 171: Level 2 Life Control Technique, Splitting the Forms of All Things

On the first day of the promotion of prosthetic technology, the prototype of the human mechanical prosthesis has gathered enough emotions. It has occupied a place in the history of this world and has become a relic recognized by the comprehensive network.

Lin Bo didn't rush to sacrifice it. This was because the reverberations within the relic weren't fixed. As the emotions accumulated within it grew stronger and stronger, and its historical status continued to rise, the reverberations would also increase in level.

The current prototype of the prosthetic limb only has a weak reverberation, but Lin Bo used miraculous materials when making it. Both the sea gray steel and the magic mushroom iron have the potential to produce continuous reverberation, which is enough to give birth to higher-level relics.

Lin Bo patted the group of iron lumps and put them into a box for proper storage.

Next, he looked at the comprehensive network panel. After intensive practice and use every day, he finally gained enough proficiency in the art of controlling life.

"upgrade."

Mantra Control - Life: Lv2 (4.1/3000) Basic Mantra Control, by speaking the mantra, control the splitting of all things

A single tree forms a forest, its roots extending far and wide. —Proverbs

The bright and shining rune of his real name in his mind suddenly flashed a ray of light, like running lightning, which instantly followed the spinal cord to reach the subtle nerves throughout the body, touching the internal organs and deeper inside, and spreading outward to the skin surface.

The nervous system was enveloped in a brilliant glow. In Lin Bo's self-awareness, thousands of tiny beams of light emanated from the subcutaneous nerve endings, piercing the contours of his body like lush new shoots breaking through the soil and spreading toward infinity.

Lin Bo opened his eyes and looked around.

The slender light radiating from him was like a tangled tree root, covering the tables, chairs, machinery, walls, doors, windows, and flowing wind on the third floor of the lighthouse. Through the open glass windows, one could see the dark ocean, and the sea surface illuminated by the lighthouse's beam, one could see the light of the roots of the cursed power entwined with the water.

He stood silently, like an upright tree, with the roots of all things connected to him.

Lin Bo knew full well that the scene before him wasn't real; it was merely a change in perspective brought on by his upgraded skills. He saw the inner threads of things, and the connection between all things and himself.

The mage carefully examined every object covered by the veins. Without exception, they all had their true names known to him. Objects with the same true name were connected by the veins, while objects with different true names were clearly separated.

He already knew that the true name of an object's internal components could be infinitely subdivided. For example, a plant's leaves, calyx, and rhizome had different true names, and the veins of light enveloping the plant also branched out accordingly.

If he knew the original true name of the universe, then everything in the universe would be covered with a layer of veins, and all the veins would be connected to each other.

As the upgrade was completed, the brilliant veins of light that enveloped everything in Lin Bo's eyes gradually dimmed and became transparent, but with a little concentration, these veins of light would become clear and solid again.

"(Mantra) Featherscale Starsteel."

The night watchman tapped the ammunition bag at his waist, and a purple iron bar flew out. In his field of vision, this steel shuttle was also covered with a layer of thin light veins, turning left and right. The light veins did not move with it, but seemed to be projected on it.

He pinched both ends of the steel bar, and used his mind to tighten the middle part into a waistline, and continued to tighten it until a certain moment, the connection broke quietly, and a piece of star steel was split into two equal pieces.

Level 1 Life Control couldn't do this; it could only make the connection extremely thin, allowing it to be easily broken by external force. However, Level 2 Life Control could truly separate things.

The two steel bars lay in Lin Bo's palm, seemingly separated, but in his eyes, the veins between the bars were still tightly connected. Their true names were the same, and they were ultimately one.

Lin Bo raised his hand and formed a sword finger seal, activating the second stage of the Word Spirit, and his real name resonated with the Feather Scale Star Steel.

His perception extended to the star steel, and he suddenly realized that there was a vibration of the same frequency between the two sections of star steel, transmitted through the light veins connected to each other, like a pair of twins.

In the induction of resonance, the steel bar divided into two halves still looks like a whole.

He didn't need to be distracted to control the two pieces of star steel, moving them forward and backward together, and shaping them into the same shape.

This is not multitasking, but seeing separate entities as a whole.

After noticing this, Lin Bo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He raised his hand and let the star steel continue to split, two into four, four into eight, and repeated this several times. In his palm, he held a pool of fine iron sand and thousands of tiny star steel particles.

There are still very fine veins of light connecting them, and in the mage's perception, they are still a whole.

Silently, thousands of star sands flew up, reflecting the light under the lamp, like a small misty purple cloud.

Lin Bo tried to control the expansion and diffusion of the star sand, but in his vision, these large numbers of star sand particles shared the same force trajectory, and their movement speed and direction did not change. Therefore, even after flying twice in his palm, it was still a tight ball.

He thought for a moment and thought of the idea of ​​fusing the control techniques. He originally used the Level 1 Life Control Technique to promote the Level 1 Flow Control Technique, forcibly changing the shape of the force, so as to exert the effect of the Level 2 Flow Control Technique.

Now, why not try using Lv2 Life Control to promote Lv2 Flow Control?

Split a whole force into dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of forces.

Lin Bo threw out the star sand, and a silver-bright trajectory of force suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He stared at the straight line, then raised his hand and pointed.

The curse power in my mind suddenly evaporated.

The force track in the field of vision suddenly cracked, changing from a line into a fork, and then spreading in all directions, resembling a hedgehog.

The clustered star sand expanded and spread, just like a bright purple firework exploding and blooming, circling under the ceiling, reflecting the brilliant lights, brighter than the stars in the sky tonight.

Even though thousands of tiny steel balls are farther apart, their connection and resonance remain as clear as before, and they still form a whole.

The complex forces pushed the star sand cloud to expand and shrink and fly, and finally gathered together, turning into a sand ball and falling back into the mage's palm.

When the control technique ended, Lin Bo only felt a strong sense of drowsiness and mental exhaustion. The consumption of Lv2 control technique fusion was even more exaggerated. Even if he upgraded again and his cursed power made great progress, it still could not be maintained for long.

[Skill judgment successful, [Mantra Control - Flow] basic proficiency +1]

【Exquisiteness coefficient × 2 (accidental discovery)】

【Health Status Coefficient × 2 (Perfect)】

[Inspiration Proficiency +3 (I have found a way forward)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Control - Style] proficiency +7

[…Inspiration proficiency +2 (Benefit of analogy)]

[…[Mantra Bending - Raw] Proficiency +6]

Pouring a bottle of whale oil potion into his mouth, Lin Bo rubbed the fine sand scattered in his palm.

The Level 2 Life Control Technique can split the forms of all things, but it cannot put the separated things back together. This move should be used with more caution. At least, it cannot be used on yourself. Whether it is the body or the mind, the consequences of separation may not be good.

After his cursed power recovered, Lin Bo continued to explore the Level 2 Life Control Technique.

This time, he chose to target plants. The True Name of an individual organism is very complex, with each part having a different True Name, while the True Name of the whole encompasses the names of all parts.

Lin Bo dug a bunch of plantain from the yard, taking it out of the soil with its roots intact. Then, he whispered its real name and tried to split it using the Life Control Technique.

In my field of vision, veins of light extending through every part of the plantain began to fork. Like a cell undergoing mitosis, the entire plant gradually shortened and thinned, a second, identical branch expanding from its surface until they completely separated.

Lin Bo obtained two plantains that were even smaller than the previous ones. From his tactile perception, they were structurally identical, more similar than twins.

The whole division process was quite slow, and the two fresh grasses were a little tired and withered. Lin Bo planted them back into the soil and watered them with some clean water. Whether they could survive depended on their vitality.

If there was some hidden damage during the splitting process that he failed to detect, it might also cause the two plantains to wither.

Limbo would come over regularly to check on them.

Before starting today's map-running work, he made one final attempt.

Taking out a few iron balls from the ammunition bag, he whispered the true name of steel. In his field of vision, these iron balls were connected by veins. As he sensed each iron ball one by one, their unique invisible vibrations gradually converged through the transmission and communication between the light veins, and then formed a whole in his perception.

The wizard smiled. Just as he expected, the Level 2 Controlling Technique could not only split an object, but also combine multiple objects with the same true name into a dispersed yet integrated whole.

Chapter 172 The Beginning of Cultivation

After becoming basically familiar with the effectiveness of the Level 2 Student Control Technique, Lin Bo took out the invitation letter from his backpack and started today's map-running work.

The environment of [Sea Spirit Altar] is rather bloody and dirty, and there are not many places where one can read peacefully. After defeating the leader monster, it stopped raining. Lin Bo found an open space on the coast, spread out the time and space paper box, took out the tables, chairs, and book boxes, and lit the desk lamp.

The reason why I didn't go to the village temple was because there were too many corpses there. Every stone brick was soaked in blood. Even if I lit the incense burner, it still smelled bad, which really affected my thinking.

The teammates who were still celebrating their victory found that the mage was studying late into the night. They were immediately confused and sent a series of question marks in the channel.

Lin Bo didn't read the chat message, so he didn't reply. He stayed in the dungeon, and his teammates also froze in place, staring at each other in bewilderment.

[Sacred Blade]: No, no, I feel like if I leave like this, I will definitely regret it and feel anxious.

[I am weak]: I want to go home, but there is a voice inside saying, "What right do you have to be lazy and rest?"

After finishing the map, the players who haven't rested yet are all exhausted. They watch the teleportation vortex emit an enchanting glow, like a warm quilt in winter, and then look at the mage who is reading a book under the lonely lamp on the coast.

Some of them gritted their teeth and found a corner to practice their skills. The rest sighed, resisting the temptation to teleport home, and either began meditating to recover their energy or practicing combat skills with their teammates.

They waited until the dungeon time was almost over and the mage had packed up the tables and chairs before they entered the teleportation tunnel. Then, they did it again, using up their two challenge opportunities.

After their intense run, the teammates had to stay in the dungeon to study, train, and continue to strain their energy. Even with potions and meditation to restore their stamina, they were still dizzy and exhausted. Though their expressions were a little resentful, their spirits were high.

[Healing of the Heart]: I am usually alone at home and I can’t help but be lazy. I feel that training is more efficient when I am with others.

[Backstabbed]: Really, as soon as I get back home I just want to lie down and play games. It's too comfortable.

[Fist Bone Iron]: No wonder veteran players like to gather in those permanent dungeons, where they can motivate each other and keep improving.

Many teammates felt the same way. Some already diligent players quickly became addicted to the heavier training tasks.

Lin Bo continued to run the [Distant Star Botanical Garden] copy.

I was unlucky today, the affix I got only gave me 3 times the benefit, and the difficulty didn't increase much.

Advance steadily all the way to the central control tower.

Facing the menacing final boss monster, the Lost Treekeeper, Lin Bo whispered the Gu'dorei language and spoke its true name.

"(Mantra) Camouflage Vines."

The cursed power was projected, and the running Lost Tree Dweller suddenly froze in place, then his feet left the ground and flew into the air.

It can still think, because this true name is the name of a species, not the true name of the lost tree as an individual, so the cursed power encompasses the body and vitality, but does not interfere with its thinking and will.

The vast majority of creatures do not have their own true names in magical language, only common names in mortal language.

For a True Name Mage, simply mastering the true name of a species allows him to control that type of creature, whether it is a plant, an animal, or of course, all humanoid races.

If a living being has its own unique True Name, then calling it by the species name will be ineffective. This individual True Name encompasses everything about its body and mind.

Once a True Name Mage knows an individual's True Name, then the body, soul, thoughts, and memories will all be subject to the mage's words.

The Lost Treebeast has no true name; its common name is "Yami." Mortal names don't hold power, so Lin Bo can only call it by its species' true name.

Even so, facing the mage's words, the Lost Tree was powerless to resist. It tried to struggle, but even with the rage burning in its chest, it couldn't move a finger, and the emerald vines in its body were out of control.

[Comprehensive Network Tip: The enemy (the final experimental subject - the perfect lost tree - Xinya) conducted a perception check and failed! The enemy is in a controlled state.]
