Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

Bensov watched his ideas being rejected one by one, leaving only two or three, but he had no regrets about it. He could have ten ideas in a day, nine of which were wrong, but as long as one was correct, it would be a pioneering progress.

Radio technology still had a long way to go. Currently, it could only transmit telegraph signals, not audio or video. Achieving a technological breakthrough would require higher levels of industrial processing and theoretical advancement. Bensov couldn't sustain this work alone; he needed help.

After the Lighthouse Wizard corrected the Dean's homework, he transformed the seagull into a tall hat and asked Bensov to wear it when he went out to the banquet.

On Thursdays, scholars who believe in elders will hold salons as usual. In Hongdu, there are dozens of such academic salons, which are often funded by nobles and are considered a channel for communication between academia and politics.

For scientists with academic aspirations, attracting investors is also a compulsory course, otherwise they can only engage in pure theoretical research without money.

Bensov, who was wearing a high hat, was already a successful man and was knighted. He himself was an investor in many scientific projects, and the guests he invited to his salons were all famous and talented scholars from universities and academies of science.

Bensov used an idle apartment as the meeting place for the salon. His life assistant accompanied him on the trip. After arriving at the destination, the assistant walked to the next apartment, which was only a hundred meters away. There was also a gathering of elderly people here. All the visitors were domestic workers. The host, Shanti, greeted every guest with a smile.

The domestic servants who attended the gathering worked in various noble residences, some even serving as servants in the imperial palace. They boiled the water for Kewen Ewen's tea and coffee, and washed and aired the carpets soiled by patrolling palace guards. Even though they served the empire's master, their salaries were no better than their peers.

Gathering in the name of the old man's followers is perfectly normal, and even the secret police would not monitor the conversations of these servants.

Shanti spoke in a relaxed tone, discussing his own religious views, recounting the teachings of the old priest, and offering a different interpretation of the order of the five gods' features. His words were rather obscure, but enough to make many servants ponder, secretly imagining a social order where elders were respected.

For those who are truly interested, Shanti invites them to participate in a real secret meeting.

The number of tower-guarding monks in Hongdu grew day by day. The method of proving the existence of miracles was simple: let the new members see the black copper paper bestowed by the Holy Spirit. The servants were all astonished and shocked when they saw the copper paper writing on its own.

Bensov also spoke a lot at the salon. He was admired by his peers and younger generations as the first person to perfect the theory of radio application. However, Bensov told everyone the truth: it was someone else who perfected the theory.

"Who is that person?" the members of the Academy of Sciences asked curiously.

Bensoff pointed to his hat. "It's my hat. Boyle, I remember you were studying harmonic analysis. Have you made any progress?"

"It's almost there, it's almost there, I feel it's very close." The scholar's features were stiff and his smile was forced.

"So how long will it take to get the results?"

"One month, or two months, uh, maybe half a year..."

"One night at most, Boyle." Benthoff sighed, took off his hat and handed it to the young mathematician in front of him. "Here, take it. When you go back, dig out your paper on harmonic analysis and show it to it. Trust me."

Boyle put on the top hat in a daze.

The next day, a mathematical paper titled "Boyle Transform" was published. The author rushed into the Golden Oak Tavern with red eyes to find Bensoff dining there.

"Mr. Benthoff, tell me what's going on with this hat and this seagull!"

"Oh, congratulations. Now you have become a prisoner of inspiration and miracles just like me." Bensov lowered his head and drank his soup.

"I, I'm scared..."

"You're not the first, and you won't be the last." Bensoff raised his head and said to the young mathematician, "We're dealing with something that's difficult for current science to understand. The person who gave it to me called it a miracle, the incarnation of the Five Gods. Although I don't believe in gods, I agree with them. Or rather, I was defeated, overwhelmed by that miracle."

Boyle held his top hat in both hands. “I think it’s great, too. But it goes against academic ethics.”

Bensov gloated. "Look at the bright side, boy. Would you rather join this wave of scientific progress, or be left behind and never produce any new results in your life? Yes, it would be shameful to be defeated by it, but at least from now on you will learn new knowledge every day and appreciate the higher landscape of natural philosophy. Relax."

"I see. Who's the next one wearing a hat?"

"Let's start by choosing from the salons. Hongdu has gathered the best scholars in the empire, so we won't have trouble finding companions."

"Is this missionary work, Mr. Benthoff?"

"Although it looks a bit like that, I prefer to call it a search for a common mentor," Bensoff encouraged. "Sooner or later, we will learn all the knowledge it has to offer, and then we will forge the path forward in science and rationality."

"it is good."

After this day, the story of the Inspirational Top Hat began to circulate in the academic circles of Hongdu. It was said that it was a sacred object made by an old man. Whoever wore it would be filled with inspiration and achieve academic breakthroughs overnight, and it was always effective.

Chapter 197: Psychic state, team battle begins

There are still two days until the [Giant Wilds] dungeon refreshes.

The Stone Tower News newspaper added new columns for weather forecast and fish prediction. All the information came from fire divination on the beach, and it always came true.

Fire Divination Ritual: Lv1 (10/10) Communicates with the existence of the unknown and generates some thoughts that may be true.

Before daybreak, the dark blue bonfire burned brightly. Lin Bo stood on the beach. As the night fishing boats returned, his prediction about the fish schools came true again.

He stared at the inky black sea, breathing heavily to calm his over-beat pulse, and the sweat on his body was gradually dried by the cold wind.

"upgrade."

Ding--

Fire Divination Ritual: Lv2 (0/30) Communicate with the existence of the unknown and hear some voices that may be real.

Lin Bo never expected this skill to have any real use, it was only a ticket to comprehend the fragments of knowledge.

When skills begin to upgrade, the constant noise of nature around your ears suddenly becomes silent.

The professional characteristics of the Listener of All Things have long been engraved in his bones. Lin Bo knows that this ability has not disappeared, but his mind has suddenly become extremely agitated, his attention has become extremely scattered, and he has fallen into a state of unconsciousness similar to exhaustion. This is also the "state of trance" pursued by "Fire Divination".

This was also the first time that Lin Bo experienced true clairvoyance. The strong self-hallucinatory effect made his mind like a galloping beast. The unconscious state that he had been carefully controlling with the "Bound Mind and Action Method" was released, causing those suppressed original memories and emotions to surge.

Many ancestors who fell into a trance state would behave in a variety of crazy ways, crying and laughing, experiencing muscle spasms and inhuman howls.

Because in the hallucinogenic state, the nervous system becomes disordered and the senses become abnormal. Just like now, when the wind blows on his skin, it feels like his flesh is being scraped off by a file, and his internal organs feel extremely numb and itchy, as if an iron hook is pulling at his stomach and intestines, making him want to vomit uncontrollably.

Lin Bo raised his sword finger.

The moment the spirit of this word was activated, his out-of-control emotions calmed down again. He maintained excellent control over his body and mind, enduring the phantom pain that impacted his nervous system until the upgrade was completed.

Before we knew it, the sea had become bright, the bonfire had gone out, and the fire pit had become cold.

In my ears, the magical words whispered by all things are loud again.

The wind whispered softly to the mage, it seemed more emotional than ever before, and the mage could hear the subtle difference, which was a kind of care from heartless things. The sound of the wind and the waves were telling the mage that he should return to the tower and warm his body.

They don't want the mage's fragile body to be damaged.

Lin Bo shook his head. He knew very well how indifferent these natural things were. They had no emotional capacity and could not possibly care about human health.

The reason why he heard these words was probably because some of his inner thoughts affected the listener characteristics of all things, causing him to have mild auditory hallucinations.

The Lv2 fire divination ritual seemed to bring him some unfavorable changes.

"(Magic words) Hurry up, go back." A gust of wind blew from the sea and pushed Lin Bo's back.

The wizard finally looked surprised. He hesitated for a moment and listened carefully again. The wind and waves became indifferent again, as if the urging and care just now were just an illusion.

"Interesting." Lin Bo smiled. After all, this world is not completely free of magic, and it is not impossible for natural things to show some humanity.

If placed in a high-magic context, natural objects will further express all kinds of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, because they are truly living divine forces with extraordinary power.

Today is the completion day of the Dongya Grottoes machine room, and also the completion day of the Shita Town Food Factory.

The town held a small celebration. The cooks set up new pots and lit new stoves. They cleaned the seafood just off the fishing boats and stewed it in the pots, adding low-grade MSG and various seasonings.

The stove fire was blazing, and billowing white mist rose like clouds. The hot and flavorful air made the factory area hazy. Townspeople and tourists brought their own bread and waited by the stove with bowls and dishes. Children, who had half a day off, and cats and dogs were running around and shouting on the ground.

Lin Bo slowly sniffed the elixir of the soup.

[Skill assessment successful... [Scent of the Marrow] Proficiency +4]

"upgrade."

Smell the Fragrance and Know the Essence: Lv4 (Max) unlocks the characteristic "Inspiration Heart", remembers the Dan Qi, and calculates the changes in the Dan nature.

With a gentle breath, the shackles in his nasal cavity suddenly opened, and Lin Bo felt again the olfactory experience when he was comprehending the "Ode to the Wonderful Fragrance". The elixir qi that he had smelled in his memory emerged one by one, as if they were lingering at the tip of his nose and had never dissipated.

The banquet dishes were served, each one a product of the women of Stone Tower Town who had once sent to the lighthouse as lunch and dinner for the night watchmen's hard work. These days, these foods are laced with MSG, and even if they aren't the high-end, first-strength variety, their flavor is still as sharp as a dagger, capable of piercing the tongues of diners who haven't tasted it before, leaving a deep impression on their taste buds.

After the meal began, no one spoke, only the constant cries for more. Even the well-dressed city gentlemen, looking around, began to imitate the country people and licked the leftover soup from the bottom of the bowl.

The hard-working kitchen workers smiled at each other excitedly.

"Our food will definitely be a hit." The mayor encouraged everyone and hugged the wife of the applicant for the cook position for a few seconds.

The men from the construction team were all dirty. They sat alone at a table with their mouths stuffed full. They looked around at the walls, doors, windows and roof, and glanced at the stoves and canning lines. They paused in chewing, raised the corners of their greasy mouths, and then chewed even harder.

Lin Bo finished his lunch with a bowl of stewed cod. He put away the bowl and went out. He saw the aqua blue banner hanging outside the factory fluttering in the wind.

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

The banner is just a faint echo of the initial stage. However, it will not be shelved. The construction team will continue to work because the town has money and plans to build more public facilities.

The night watchman rubbed his full belly and returned to his lighthouse.

The completion of the computer room was a good thing, but there were more tasks on his schedule. The plan of laying submarine cables needed to be put on the agenda, and he had to design the structure of the submarine. In addition, after debugging the computer equipment, he could try to develop a new computer system.

With the professional characteristic of being able to speak any language, Lin Bo can read computer languages ​​fluently. For him, common graphical operating systems are more cumbersome and inconvenient. Using command lines and codes is the most intuitive, and he can use them to communicate with the computer itself.

Lin Bo took out the schedule from his backpack and deducted some of the time he spent studying the copy to use for programming.

He hopes to complete the project by the end of this year.

Two days later, at midnight, the number of opportunities to challenge the dungeon in [Wilderness of Fallen Giants] was refreshed.

The strategy channel became lively again.

The first team battle last week ended with the Necromancer faction players winning. The detailed battle process took four days to compile and upload to the public file so that other players can refer to the intensity and atmosphere of the team battle.

As the dungeon level increases, the affixes you get will become more and more challenging, and the high-multiplier clearance rewards are also quite attractive.

[Cold Rain (Necromancer)]: The group is open, sign up quickly~

Lin Bo and the Soul-Calling Priestess responded to the call.

[Network Tip: Player "Lighthouse Guest (Fairy)" has joined the current team channel]

Players from the three camps greeted each other in the team channel.

Although they are teammates, they become competitors after entering the dungeon. At that time, they should use the team channel as little as possible to avoid being spied on by players from the enemy camp.

For this reason, veteran players who frequently participate in team battles will learn the common language of the Internet to facilitate offline face-to-face communication.

When the number of people in the team channel reached thirty and each camp was full of ten people, everyone started to make a commotion.

Lin Bo checked the combat resources and weapons and equipment, called the little seagull to stand on his shoulder, and then waited quietly.

[Network Tip: Player [Leng Yu (Necromancer)] invites you to join the dungeon battle [Giant's Fall]]

A deep purple vortex of time and space opened, and the Night Watchman stepped in.
