Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

The wind was celebrating, he had succeeded.

Lin Bo felt the spell power being depleted rapidly. This was the true way of performing two magic arts at the same time. Even further, it was the combination of the two magic arts into one.

In just ten seconds, he felt exhausted.

The cursed power dimmed, the resonance was broken, and the iron ball that continued to circle in the air lost control and was thrown out by inertia and fell far into the sea.

Lin Bo sat on the edge of the bed, and a large number of prompts appeared on the comprehensive network information board.

As expected, he thought to himself, Level 2 Flow Control was all about harnessing hidden power. The synergy between Flow Control and Life Control allowed him to see a much higher perspective.

Lin Bo drank a bottle of whale oil potion, waiting for the effect to relieve the dull pain in his head. He daydreamed that maybe one day, he would be able to combine all the mantra control techniques into one. He wondered what that would be like.

Chapter 94: Lv2 Scent of the Marrow, Whale Oil Revitalizing Potion (Blue)

Early in the morning, the lighthouse went out.

There is no need to go out early today. After breakfast, Lin Bo can go back to the second floor and review a mechanics knowledge point that he didn’t understand last night, just as an after-meal exercise.

As the knowledge he came into contact with became more and more profound, he also realized the harm of having a weak foundation.

In the past, he had used neuron-activating tinctures to swallow the contents of the book without understanding them, and had failed to apply them to his own needs. As a result, he now couldn't even understand the titles of some advanced theories. It was like reading a book written in heaven, and he even laughed at himself.

So Lin Bo didn't rush to buy new theoretical books, but instead began to revisit old ones. Building a knowledge system is a more time-consuming task than improving skill proficiency, and it is a lifelong task.

It was not until dawn that Lin Bo began to carry out his morning schedule.

First, survey the geological structure under the lighthouse to determine whether it is sand or rock, whether there is groundwater, etc. Only after this step is completed can we start drawing up the construction blueprint.

Lin Bo came to the yard in front of the lighthouse, picked up a handful of soil and sniffed it.

The lighthouse is built on a terrace at the top of the cape, where hurricane waves will not flood it, so soil can remain. The lowlands near the coastline are all rough gravel and pebbles.

He had not yet discovered the true name of the earth. He broke off a aster from the foot of the wall and sniffed the scent of the sap, overcoming the faint smell of the earth, letting one word overcome another, so that he could discover the true name in silent meditation.

Lin Bo also identified the nature of the soil and obtained a proficiency assessment.

Smell the Essence: Lv1 (49.6/50)

After learning the true name of the soil, Lin Bo whispered the name, then raised his hand and waved it lightly. The soil under his feet was like the surface of water blown by the wind, rolling up waves and separating in front of the mage, revealing the rock layer underneath.

In the corner of the yard, piled under a tarpaulin, were some steel bars and iron plates salvaged from the [Machinery Factory]. Lin Bo recited his true name, took a heavy I-beam, shaped it into a hammerhead, and repeatedly struck the rock, letting the shockwaves speak.

The mage crouched down, pressed his hands on the rock, used the vibration to sense the rock structure, listened to its hoarse and slow murmur, and told those ancient geological memories.

The rock layers detected by the surface endoscopy method can reach a depth of up to 100 meters. Combined with the description of the rock itself, it has been broken several times by the tremors of the earth. Lin Bo knows the extension direction and range of its internal cracks and other geological information.

Different types of rocks naturally have different real names. Most of the rocks on the coast of Shita Town are ancient igneous rocks. They have been smelted under high temperature and high pressure under the earth's crust, and their physical properties have been condensed and refined.

The rock type below the lighthouse is the same as that of the East Cliff Grottoes, and Lin Bo already knew its real name.

After completing the survey, he went back to the house to draw the construction design of the underground workshop. The entrance was located on the north side of the lighthouse. The main body of the workshop was designed as a circular space surrounding the lighthouse so as not to affect the foundation and prevent subsidence.

When building a house on the surface, you start from the foundation and work your way up. When building a house underground, you start from the roof and work your way down. The construction order is reversed.

The engineering book that Lin Bo referred to was "Palace in the Mountains: Let's Turn the Mines into Homes" produced by the dwarf race.

This book was included in the engineering subject package when he bought natural philosophy-related textbooks on the Duolian Duoyi platform. He didn't read it carefully and only took it out now to cram for the exam.

He spent half an hour to complete the first version of the design drawing, estimated the total weight of the concrete and steel structure needed to build the workshop, and then determined the segmented construction process.

Lin Bo planned to first dig a shallow circle along the outer edge of the lighthouse and pour in concrete to serve as the dome of the future workshop. He would then dig several holes downwards, drive in steel bars, cast concrete load-bearing columns, and finally open up space for activities.

The height of the workshop is determined by the height of the concrete load-bearing columns. If it feels not spacious enough, then dig out the second underground floor. As long as you don't dig into the sea or into the groundwater layer, you can continue to deepen it.

Once the drawings are completed, formal construction will begin.

Lin Bo recited the real name of the rock, squatted down and pressed the surface of the stone, sensing the cracks inside, and expanding and extending the cracks.

As the cracks in the stone grow, a slight crackling sound is heard.

Until a piece of rock was almost broken off, he swung the hammer and hit it, peeling the stone off completely, controlling it to rise, and then threw it into the corner of the yard.

Rocks are hard, and using the Life Bending Technique to shape them directly consumes a lot of mana. However, utilizing the inherent cracks within the rock is a very labor-saving method.

The stones he peeled off were of varying sizes and irregular shapes.

He worked continuously for an hour, taking whale oil potions when he felt tired. He was highly efficient, hollowing out the lighthouse's perimeter in forty minutes, forming a shallow moat. The remaining twenty minutes were spent repairing the pitted rock face.

Now, almost the entire yard has been dug up, and the soil and plants have been moved outside the low wall.

Lin Bo purchased a batch of construction materials from the Duolian Duoyi platform and spent more than half an hour mixing concrete to pour the dome of the workshop. His estimates were accurate, and in the end, he only needed two extra bags of cement.

This quick-drying cement will harden by the afternoon, and then the soil can be backfilled. If you act quickly, visitors who come in the evening will not even notice anything unusual.

It was still some time before noon, so he let the cement dry in the autumn sun and returned to the lighthouse to prepare for the alchemy experiment.

After being promoted to Lv5 True Name Mage, Lin Bo can listen to the animistic language used to describe magical things.

The phonemes of Panpsychic and Gudorei are similar, except that they have more syllables, making them sound like the same language. However, there is a clear difference in the power they contain.

It is difficult for ordinary things to suppress the narration of magical things. If he wants to find out the true name, he needs to take advantage of the conflict between different magical materials.

This morning's alchemy plan was to improve the whale oil potion, and he wanted to try to reduce the side effects.

Lin Bo took out a portion of "purified flesh and blood" and planned to use it as the second main ingredient of the potion.

This is the flesh and blood taken from the Holy Spirit of the Ocean before it fell - Tavimira. According to the description on the Internet, it has the effect of detoxification and healing. It is also the main raw material of the Ocean Blessing Potion, which can remove many negative states. It can be seen that the raw material has the medicinal potential.

He put the "purified flesh and blood" to the tip of his nose and smelled a faint smell of copper rust and the salty smell of sea water, but it was not pungent. Instead, it combined into a unique fragrance with strong penetrating power, making him feel cool in his lungs.

This piece of living flesh and blood told the wizard the story of Tavimira, and its tone was calm without a trace of resentment. After all, it was a product of purification. Then it revealed its medicinal effects to the wizard.

Lin Bo sniffed carefully to identify the nature of the material.

[Skill judgment successful, [Scent of the Marrow] basic proficiency +2]

【Health status coefficient × 1.6 (excellent)】

[Final Calculation Result: [Scent of the Marrow] Proficiency +3.2]

【Upgrade requirements met】

"Upgrade." Lin Bo sat down in the reclining chair. A fierce cold current poured out from his brows and quickly rushed into his nasal cavity. It was not irritating, but it caused a large amount of clear mucus to be secreted, and he had to blow his nose repeatedly.

After a while, the strangeness caused by the upgrade ended and the nasal cavity returned to comfort.

Lin Bo inhaled slowly, repeatedly, and could smell the dust and moisture in the air. Compared to the previous second, the air was drier. He could now detect even the slightest change in the smell.

Smell the aroma and know the essence: Lv2 (1.2/150) By smelling the odor, you can identify the stage of transformation of the medicinal materials in the furnace.

To obtain proficiency in the Lv2 Smell the Fragrance and Know the Marrow chapter, one needs to stay by the alchemy furnace and smell the subtle changes in the alchemy energy.

Without further ado, Lin Bo began to prepare all the raw materials needed for the whale oil potion.

It still used alcohol as the base, with herbal decoction added as an inducer. He already knew the true names of almost every ingredient, except for whale oil and the "purified flesh and blood" that would be added this time.

Lin Bo used a dropper to extract a few drops of whale oil and gently smeared it on the sea spirit meat. He had intended to use the smell of whale oil to suppress the sea spirit meat's speech.

But unexpectedly, the result was the opposite. Even though whale oil contained more abundant magic power, the smell of sea spirit flesh was more penetrating, suppressing the sad whisper of whale oil.

After a while, Lin Bo woke up from meditation and learned the real name of whale oil, and a pan-animist rune reappeared in his mind.

He pondered over how to find out the real name of the Sea Spirit Flesh.

After a while, Lin Bo pulled out a poisonous serrated knife from his backpack. This was the knife used by the pharmacist in the demon-summoning village to cut meat, and it was stained with blood that could not be washed off.

He used a hammer to knock off a sawtooth covered in blood and rust, soaked it in alcohol to disinfect it, and then put it and the sea spirit meat into his mouth.

The pharmacist's tongue detected the poison from the serrated knife, but its bitter and pungent taste was too strong, completely covering up the smell of the sea spirit meat. It also kept murmuring as if in fear, allowing Lin Bo to vaguely catch its words.

Thus, he learned a new True Name, not only for the flesh and blood of sea spirits, but for the flesh and blood of most magical creatures.

Alchemical pharmacy is an important branch of alchemy and also an important part of alchemy. With this academic foundation, Lin Bo now has more ideas for improving his original whale oil potion formula.

He set up the pressure cooker and prepared to make the elixir. This time, without a proven formula to guide him, he would need to experiment on his own. First, he prepared a whale oil tincture, poured it into the pot, mixed it with sea spirit meat, and began to slowly simmer it. Once the sea spirit meat gradually decomposed, he poured in the herbal inducer, closed the lid, and heated it.

He carefully sniffed the dissipated elixir energy and discerned the changes in the elixir's nature.

A moment later, Lin Bo suddenly grabbed the pressure cooker and threw it out the window, chanting the Iron True Name before hurling it far into the sea. A dull explosion followed, sending waves several meters high into the water, and a few passing fish were flung into the air.

The temperature and pressure were too high, and the whale oil components were induced into a bomb before they were completely converted into medicinal properties.

Fortunately, he smelled this ominous transformation, otherwise this thing would have exploded in the room without a sound, which would have been dangerous.

Lin Bo silently put on the Iron Skeleton and began the second improvement experiment.

After noon, after four failures, he finally perfected the whale oil potion version 2.0.

Extract a portion of royal blue liquid and pour it into your mouth to taste. The refreshing, long-lasting and cool medicinal effect will spread throughout your body, making your brain as calm as soaking in a cold spring.

After packaging the potion into a glass bottle, the authentication prompt of the Zongwang website appeared. Lin Bo named the potion and left a message.
