Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

Rather than saying it is a knife, it is more like a rectangular piece of iron, about the length of a little finger, with a sharp edge only at the tip.

There are four or five knives like this in the lighthouse. The former lighthouse keeper loved eating shellfish, which was cheap and delicious. As he got older and his memory was bad, he always forgot where he put the oyster knives, so he bought a few extra ones as a backup.

He gave this sword to Lin Bo.

During the first few nights after arriving, Lin Bo and Old Tim often sat around the fire pit, hanging a pot and eating freshly stewed mussels. They would cut the byssus with a small knife, pick up the juicy and hot mussel meat with the blade, and put it into their mouths.

They would often bring a bucket of oysters to the third floor, open the window, let the sea breeze in, and eat until the floor was covered with oyster shells and their burps smelled of seaweed.

Seeing the small knife he had left behind, Lin Bo's tongue recognized it before his eyes. He still remembered putting the knife and the shellfish meat into his mouth, the tip of his tongue touching the cold blade, and the faint metallic taste like a seasoning.

Since old Tim passed away, Lin Bo has not eaten oysters again. The knife has been left on the windowsill, eroded by the moisture of the sea breeze and has developed spots of rust.

He grabbed the knife and thought about the taste of oysters and mussels, but those idle nights were gone, and he didn't have the leisure to buy a few pounds of shellfish to satisfy his craving.

Lin Bo looked at the rust on the blade and had a guess in his mind: what can silence steel is not only the howling wind and the vibrating wood, but also the rust left on the steel by time and sea breeze.

Since touch and hearing couldn't effectively capture the true name of steel, perhaps taste could. After all, metal and stone objects could be used as medicinal ingredients, and the pharmacist's tongue-sense method was always to discern whether they were meat or vegetables.

Lin Bo soaked the knife in alcohol, took it out after a while to dry it, and then held it in his mouth.

The taste of iron is bland, while rust is salty and fishy. Rust speaks impulsively and violently, like the boastful sailors in the tavern.

The words of steel were suffocating. It was telling how it was smelted and cast from ore. It also remembered those plain nights when Lin Bo had held it and confronted the hard oyster shells. The juice of the shellfish was not wiped off, which was also a major reason for the formation of rust.

Lin Bo's silent heart opened to the language of steel, just like a drop of water knocking in a dry well, the echo that came out was the true name of steel.

This time, the true name was discovered without any unexpected circumstances and went extremely smoothly, which showed that he had indeed found the right path.

The mage sat cross-legged in meditation. After a while, he opened his eyes and began to recite vague words.

"(True Word) Steel."

call! ——

He exhaled a dull, dim silver light, which stretched into a long string of afterimages in his field of vision. The torn air let out a sharp whistle, and the knife pierced into the wall at an extremely fast speed, nailing it to the bricks.

He succeeded. Ultimately, it was the Medicine Master Tongue Knowledge that took on the responsibility.

Lin Bo stared at the iron knife on the wall. Once the object controlled by the Mantra Control Technique leaves the mage's range of perception, the control will automatically terminate. This range depends on the sensory abilities of vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch.

Now, in his sight, the iron knife rolled back and hovered in front of him.

"Buzz--" The blade began to vibrate and emit a series of buzzing sounds. Gradually, it became hotter and hotter and began to emit a red light.

Divide your attention into two tasks and perform two control techniques at the same time.

The red-hot iron knife circled slowly in the air like a dragonfly over a summer pond.

An oxide layer forms on the surface of the scorching hot knife, and with the continuous high-speed vibration, the oxidized rust also peels off piece by piece, like red snowflakes.

Lin Bo was worried about causing a fire, so he unscrewed the kettle and poured water on the red knife. After a hissing sound, steam rose and the knife gradually cooled down.

Due to the drastic temperature difference, a large number of fine cracks appeared on the blade, making it look like a piece that had failed quenching in a sword forging competition.

After waiting for a while, he held the knife that had basically cooled down, and gently brushed the crack with his fingertips, imagining that it was a piece of soft mud that would become smooth again after being squeezed and kneaded.

At this moment, the Word Spirit was still in operation. Facing the wizard's command, even steel became soft and obedient. The blade brushed by Lin Bo's fingertips was indeed like soft mud, slightly concave, and the cracks on the surface were also gently smoothed out.

[Activated professional skills: Mantra Control - Life]

Mantra Control - Life: Lv1 (0/1000) Basic Mantra, reshapes the form of all things by speaking the mantra

A tree bends and straightens, and a gentleman is made of it. —Proverbs

Chapter 38: The Toad Looking at the Moon, the Mage's Appearance

The newly activated professional skill "True Word Control - Life" can shape the controlled material form according to the True Name Mage's wishes, whether it is flattening and stretching, or creating an exquisite and delicate structure, all depends on the mage's own ability.

This reminded Lin Bo of a magic web series of spells.

The fourth-level transmutation spell, "Divine Craftsmanship," can transform a raw material into a finished product made from that material. You can build a house from piled wood, weave clothing from a pile of silk, and shape steel into weapons and armor.

Lin Bo had only heard of this spell and was not clear about the specific details.

However, after carefully exploring and trying the art of controlling life, he also summed up some key points of experience.

Although the Art of Life Control can deform things at will, it cannot aggregate similar things together. In other words, if there is a pile of iron sand, the Art of Life Control cannot be used to fuse it into an iron ingot.

Likewise, things that are harnessed cannot be divided.

But here he can use a trick. Although he cannot split an iron ingot into small pieces, he can pull out a thin connecting line when stretching the iron block, and then break it with a light bend, thus dividing the whole in disguise.

Finally, and most importantly, the accuracy of the Life Control Technique's transformation of material forms depends on sensory abilities, mainly vision and touch.

The precision of endoscopic perception is finer than a hair, allowing Lin Bo to carve patterns on a cow-hair needle. Visual perception is less precise, but with the help of a magnifying glass, it can also exceed physiological limits.

Considering that the effective range of the control technique depends on one's own sensory ability, Lin Bo is also considering improving his eyesight.

He flipped through Duolian Duoyi's product list and was a little undecided.

For online gamers, the easiest and most convenient way to improve their eyesight is to undergo an eye transplant.

Technological prosthetic eyes, pupil bloodline, eyeballs of beholders... The multiverse is rich in resources, and different types of eyes have different visual abilities. There is always one that can meet the needs of players.

If you really don't want to replace your original equipment, you can also consider technological equipment, such as pilot's helmets, soldiers' night vision goggles, watchmakers' high-power eyepieces, etc.

In addition, there are various magical blessings that can provide a variety of visual enhancements, including farsightedness, night vision, magnified images, magic vision, blood vision, soul vision, destiny vision, etc.

In comparison, general skills that can enhance eyesight seem a bit thankless. Skills with strong effects also have high learning thresholds, and skills with weak effects are worse than purchasing equipment.

He discussed his needs with Agilent.

[Agilent]: This skill book improves eyesight. It is more common in martial arts dungeons. If we sell it here, the price is really expensive.

The two discussed it.

Lin Bo purchased the eye recognition skill mainly for fighting, so there are requirements for dynamic vision and vision accuracy. It is best to take into account the night vision function to avoid losing combat effectiveness in dark environments.

Agilent recommended a book called "The Art of Watching the Moon by the Toad". It costs 99 disaster coins to buy it on the Duolian Duoyi platform. However, he asked his colleagues to buy it from other trading platforms for only 85 disaster coins, and charged an additional 1 disaster coin as a purchasing fee, which is reasonable.

Lin Bo spent another 66 disaster coins to buy a set of eye-enhancing intelligent components, which can be installed on his voice-changing mask to provide good visual assistance.

Such a piece of equipment can actually meet the needs of most combat scenarios.

But Lin Bo always felt that it is always better to have more skills, and the effect of Tianchan Gazing at the Moon Technique would be even better when combined with the eye enhancement component.

The sea-blue trading channel is opened.

The skill book of "The Art of Watching the Moon by the Toad" is a piece of plain white silk with tadpole script written in colored ink on the surface.

Lin Bo held the silk in his hands and read it. After a while, the silk book turned into a stream of light and flowed into his eyebrows.

A chill so cold that it was a bit painful surged from his mind and gathered in his eyes, as if it was going to freeze the aqueous humor in his eyeballs into ice crystals.

This experience was somewhat similar to the experience of reaching Level 3 with the Surface Endoscopy Technique, except this time it wasn't darkness, but a bright light. Excessive light could also cause blindness.

After dozens of seconds, the cold current subsided, and the glare in Lin Bo's eyes dimmed, and he was able to see the colors of everything again.

Blinking and looking around, I could see that the colors were a little brighter than usual.

But that's not the point. Lin Bo tried to move his eyes, but they felt as smooth as oiled bearings.

Moon-gazing Technique: Lv1 (0/30) Significantly enhances dynamic vision

A tiny autumn insect that had been resting on the window glass suddenly flew away in fright. A moving object appeared in Lin Bo's field of vision, and his sight was almost immediately focused on it.

"(True Word) Steel."

The knife turned into a silver line that broke through the air and hit an autumn insect the size of a grain of rice. The broken insect corpse flew out in an instant until it was too far away and disappeared from Lin Bo's sight.

The effectiveness of the Level 1 Toad Moon-Gazing Technique is quite significant. The way to improve the proficiency of this skill is to apply eye drops.

Unlike skills such as the Pharmacist's Tongue Identification and Surface Touch and Endoscopic Technique, which rely more on knowledge and experience, the Toad Moon Gazing Technique simply consumes resources. It involves applying special potions to the eyeballs, and completing one exercise after the eye tissues have absorbed enough of the medicinal power.

These eye drops come in many grades, and the cheapest ones cost 5 disaster coins each.

Lin Bo thought that if possible, he should imitate it himself.

After the consumption, there are only 342 disaster currency left. There will be many places to spend money in the future, but there are few ways to make money at the moment.

The eye-enhancing intelligent component is blue-quality equipment and an engineering product.

It looks like a silver mask with a built-in headband.

The entire mask is a curved visual display screen, with a main camera lens on the forehead, six spherical lenses distributed on the headband, and a disc-shaped disk behind the head as an intelligent computing unit.

There are seven lenses in total, with a planar field of view of nearly 360°. Except for a small blind spot in the upper and lower directions, the surrounding scenes are all integrated into the facial display screen. It also provides infrared night vision function and up to 90 times image magnification function.

The design that fits the head is ergonomic and comfortable. It will not pinch your hair or get stuck in your flesh.

Lin Bo took out the voice-changing mask and decided to modify it himself this time.

Nowadays, with the improvement of education level, simple mechanical production no longer needs to be done by others.

Not long ago, he disassembled the voiceprint eliminator in the mask and replaced it with a component he had imitated. The effect was not diminished, and the original voiceprint eliminator had been destroyed by him.

The main material of the voice-changing mask is steel, so there is no need for a cutting machine. He uses his sense of touch to sense the steel through the paint, recites mantras, and uses the art of life control to directly reshape the shape of the mask.

The entire outer shell of the mask sticks to the eye enhancement component like mud, with a hole in the forehead and the steel edges bent inward to lock the facial display screen, and the two are fixed tightly.

Lin Bo donned his mage mask and examined his image in the mirror. The skull mask was painted matte black, with a silver lining beneath the eye sockets. A curved glass lens the size of a ping-pong ball protruded from its forehead.
