Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

The concept of viewing with phantoms is not unfamiliar.

It's a youth version of Phantom World.

It is a relatively popular form of entertainment. It is not like a real phantom world where people can enter and perform various actions.

The viewing phantom is just as its name suggests, it can only be used for viewing.

Single-player VR viewing.

It's not difficult in principle, and it shouldn't be too difficult to make either. The key is that most students have never been exposed to this kind of magic.

Especially for students in Uckermark, because of the militarized management, they are restricted from even seeing such illusions, let alone making them. They have strict time quotas for the use of all entertainment spells every month.

As long as it exceeds the limit, it will be punished.

It is even more impossible to prepare for the competition in this regard.

The students immediately asked various questions.

"What about the illusion resources used to create illusions?"

“Isn’t that too much work for the competition?”

“How do we judge whether it’s passed or not…”

……

A series of questions arise.

Professor Tanshuer waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"In this round of competition, the ranking will be determined by the number of viewers of the phantoms you create, and the top 80% will pass. The audience watching the phantoms you create are the residents of Serdarion.

“You have three days to complete the production. After you obtain the finished product, an anonymous public exhibition will be held in the college, open to all residents free of charge, also for three days.

"Attention, it is forbidden to include personally identifiable information in the work, it is forbidden to bribe the audience, it is forbidden..."

Professor Tanshul sets out a litany of prohibitions.

To sum up, you can only rely on illusions to attract the audience, and no other methods are allowed.

Of course, there are some limitations on the content of the phantom.

For example, as a serious student in a serious school, it is not okay to attract audiences by doing erotic things.

"As for the method of counting people, we will provide a marking spell to mark the viewers."

Hearing this, Jia Xiu raised his hand.

"explain."

"Can I add a similar marking spell to the illusion?"

Professor Tanshul did not immediately respond to Jaxiu's question.

Based on his understanding of Jia Xiu, he knew there must be something wrong if he asked this question.

But what's the problem?

I can't guess. The marking spell is used to mark the audience. What else would he use it for?

Forget it, they are students from my own school anyway.

Professor Tanshul then replied: "As long as it does not violate the prohibitions mentioned above, you can add it."

After receiving a positive answer, Jia Xiu nodded, looking as if everything was settled.

At this time, someone asked again: "What should I do if I don't know how to create an illusion image? Many people have not studied the illusion school."

"Yes, considering this, this round of exams encourages teamwork. The final number of views will be divided equally among the teams. We also provide professional illusion team support. If you have an image that you need but cannot produce, you can apply for help from the support team.

"We don't want the lack of resources to limit your imagination. The goal of this round of competition is to test your creativity. Novel ideas are also the abilities required of spellcasters. Secondly, it is about planning the basic skills of casting spells that call upon these resources.

"From now on, you have half a day to form teams. The second round of competition production will officially begin at 2 pm."

For the contestants, forming a team is not a difficult task.

We all have classmates and understand each other's abilities, so it's easy to get together.

As for the situation where someone can’t find the team.

Single players can also compete.

But you are not allowed to complain about the unfairness of single-player and multi-player competitions. Integrating into a team and cooperating are also part of the competition.

The Larvin "Big Three" came together naturally.

Unconditionally trust Boss Jia Xiu.

Follow the boss, no matter whether the process is legitimate or not, you won’t suffer any loss in the end.

"Boss, look at them, they are so professional."

Mia said, pointing towards Uckermark.

Jia Xiu looked over and saw that they did not form teams freely, but were assigned to teams under the command of a leader, and no one raised any objections during the assignment process.

"Don't worry, I don't believe they can figure out what the audience likes to watch."

However, after the team was formed, the leader turned and walked towards Jia Xiu.

"Hello, Mr. Jia Xiu, I am Justus Staudinger."

"Uh, our team is full."

"No, I'm not here to join you, I'm here to challenge you."

"Is there a possibility that we are already competing?"

"I will prove in this round of illusions that I am the Uckermark who possesses the greater imperial spirit!"

"You want to prove the spirit of the empire in the illusion?"

"Of course, this is my mission!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. To be honest, his walking posture was quite standard.

Looking at Justus's back as he left after declaring war, Mia whispered, "I don't believe they can figure out what the audience likes to watch."

Isn't it wrong to consider what spirit it has instead of whether it looks good?

Chapter 120 What thoughts and feelings does this phantom express?

"Boss, what shall we do?" Ram asked.

I have no idea what to take photos of.

He seldom looked at that kind of phantom, and when he did, it was to look at the forging photos left by the dwarf masters.

The audience here probably won't be interested in forging.

Apparently Ram underestimated how bored people were. There were a lot of people watching him popping pimples, trimming hooves, and washing carpets with great interest, not to mention taking photos of the master forging.

However, Jia Xiu does not intend to win by making brainwashing short videos. He wants to make something that has a wider reach.

"Let's make a coherent short film that tells the story of a mage becoming stronger. I'm starting to write the general plot and storyboards now."

"What is storyboard?"

"These are important images that appear as key nodes, so that you can understand the main process of the entire illusion, and then fill in the content between the key nodes."

Jia Xiu believed that the phantom world as a subject must have similar concepts, but he didn't know what it was called.

"Well, I'll first sort out the necessary illusion resources. Ram, you go find the illusion team provided by the academy and sort out the resource requirements, mainly the background environment. You can build some of them first. Mia, you will build the basic illusion circuits required for the illusion..."

Jia Xiu quickly assigned tasks.

He expected the workload to be a bit heavy, the time to be tight, and the tasks to be heavy.

The biggest advantage of teaming up with familiar and reliable people is that everyone can do the work.

Jia Xiu took out the magic book, a super practical magic contract that could not only record spells, but also anything that was written could be erased after it was written, which was very convenient.

Fortunately, when I was working in the studio, I was also able to do some plot writing work.

Yes, small studios are so poor in their early stages. If the programmer can write copy, it would be best if he can help write some.

He quickly wrote down the contents in the form of a script in his notebook.

"Therdarion, a noble family of spellcasters, testing the magic of the younger generation of members."

The phantoms placed in Serdar are meant to greatly increase the sense of immersion for local audiences.

"Character: The protagonist (half-elf)..."

This is the identity of the protagonist that Jia Xiu came up with after careful consideration.

Since Serdarion was opened to other races, the largest proportion of the population quickly changed from elves to half-elves.

Because half-elves can reproduce, and humans who can also reproduce will not stay here for long. They come here to make money and then return home. The consumption here is so high, why should they live here permanently?

Based on this, many half-elves were created and stayed here. They multiplied among themselves, and their population soon exceeded that of the elves.

The pitiful thing about the half-elves is that they are not liked by both elves and humans.

Elves think they are humans, and humans think they should be considered elves.

This makes the entire ethnic group a little depressed.

Depression means that you are more easily aroused by emotions!

Jaxiu's pen writes quickly on the notebook, which will make the Serdarian audience unable to control themselves and unable to extricate themselves from the mysterious little plot.

Oh, and there’s that wonderful little use of audience tags…

……

In the second round, all participating groups were assigned to a small studio.

It contains all the necessary materials for casting spells, as well as instructional instructions on creating illusions. If you don't understand something, you can check it on the spot.

The competitions arranged by Santero place great emphasis on research ability. When doing research, you often encounter things you don’t know how to do, and you can only look up literature and learn on the spot.

The studio is connected to an accommodation room with a separate bathroom and several beds.

All contestants are not allowed to go out during the three days of production, and the organizers provide meals.
