Necromancer's Second-Original Chat Group

37 suddenly became excited, but Wanqi and Weierting looked at each other blankly.

Seriously, is there such a way to answer?

This is not something that has appeared in the story text. Even Wan Qi, who has become a fifth-rank mage, cannot understand 37's logic. After all, he is a genius who was forced out of his circumstances. He was born a genius.

Their innate talent is indeed terrifying.

37 stepped forward, grabbed Wan Qi's cloak, and said, "Could you crouch down a bit? I want to see more clearly."

By the way, Wan Qi is 1.74 meters tall, Wei Erding is 1.68 meters tall, and 37 is 1.62 meters tall.

Surprisingly, the character who appears to be only 37 in the story is actually quite tall, and looks more mature than in the game. However, it's mainly her figure that's changed; her appearance hasn't changed much.

By the same token, if the character illustrations in the game could be used as a height reference, Sofia would have to be 1.7 meters tall.

Guess who is the shortest among the Si Chen kids right now?

That's right, it's Sofby (those who use Apple should be thrown out and share a bed with Nurgle!), the second shortest is Snyder, the third is Stardew, and Parasite is 1.71 meters tall.

For 37, Wanqi was a rather special person, because it was the first time she had ever seen such a wonderful number.

"Instead of that, 37, would you be interested in playing a game with me?"

"game?"

"Yes, it's a very interesting math olympiad game called 'Puzzle Magic'."

This name is pure nonsense; the game's original name was "Magic Assembly."

Those who frequently use magic know that advanced mathematics is the foundation of magic. Therefore, the basic structure of magic is composed of mathematics and formulas. Different combinations can produce different magical effects. So this game is also very simple. You draw cards to obtain various numbers and formulas, and then combine these numbers and formulas to achieve different magical effects. It can be the simplest and most direct water, fire, metal, wood, thunder, wind, earth, light, and darkness, or it can be summoning, spirit communication, puppets, magical weapons. In short, as long as you have enough knowledge, there are countless possibilities for you to choose from on this simple magic duel platform.

It looks fair, but in reality, this game is not fair at all because knowledge is extremely important.

The question is, does 37 know magic?

She knows arcane arts, which have some similarities to magic, but this is just taking advantage of the information gap to bully people.

You're just trying to bully the little genius, thinking it's funny when he cries, Hakiwan, you bastard.

Wilting whispered in Wan Qi's ear, "Wan Qi, you can't bully children."

"I don't want to bully her, I just want to see her magical talent."

At this moment, Wan Qi had already activated his Eye of Truth. In the Elemental Vision, the magical reaction on 37's body was quite obvious, which indicated that the opponent's mental power had firmly locked the elemental power, but it had not yet been converted into magical power.

Coincidentally, while magic assembly may seem like a game, it actually has the effect of assisting in cultivation. It can help magicians accelerate the conversion of elemental power into magic power within their bodies during entertainment similar to game duels.

"But you didn't play with me, huh?"

Virtin used his special move on Vanchi – biting his ear.

It bit gently, and even licked it once!

"No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong! I just didn't think of it at the time. After that, we were playing, just the two of us!"

"That's pretty much it."

Wilting stopped his offensive, and then, taking advantage of 37's preoccupation with studying the rules, quickly kissed Wanqi on the cheek.

Stimulate?.

"Hmm, I completely understand the rules of this game now. It seems quite interesting. So, we're wondering why you're blushing?"

"Looking refreshed!"

"Okay, by the way, I still don't know your name."

"Wan Qi, you can call me that."

"Okay, Wanqi, let's begin!" 37 was eager to try.

"no problem."

Dogs know how to defend themselves!

Although this isn't some dark duel where you're risking everything, it's still very tense and exciting. Within the arena set up by Wan Qi, the magical effects of the two will materialize. Of course, the destructive power is all visual and auditory effects, but it's definitely fun. If solving math problems were all about duels, it could probably solve most of the math problems that kids struggle with.

I suddenly remembered what "Baka and Test" was all about.

In the first game, as expected, 37 was completely crushed by Wan Qi without even having a chance to scratch him.

But 37 wasn't frustrated at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.

"This is amazing! I never knew that combining numbers and formulas could produce such an effect. This is the most interesting game I've ever seen!"

"Shall we continue?" Wan Qi asked.

“Of course! I’m gradually understanding everything!” 37 nodded firmly.

In the second game, as expected, 37 launched a small counterattack, but was then brutally defeated by Wan Qi.

"Mmm, like this, like this, and then like this, okay, let's try it!" 37's interest remained undiminished; in fact, she became even more excited.

In the third game, nothing unexpected happened, but Wan Qi was surprised by 37's growth rate.

This is only the third round, and the opponent has already deduced some of the methods of using magic by using the mystical arts they have mastered.

For example, the fireball spell.

It may not sound like much, but you should know that 37 has no magical foundation. Although mysticism is equivalent to the witchcraft of the magical world, it eventually embarked on a stable and formal path of inheritance. You should know how many things in human civilization have been blocked by that one layer of paper, just like how better glassmaking only requires adding a stirring step.

Once the truth is discovered, things are simple; but before it is discovered, a single piece of paper can hold you back for life.

Yet there is a small group of people, exceptionally gifted, who can see through appearances to the essence. They seem to be the bearers of historical responsibility blessed by human civilization, appearing at the most opportune time to shed light on problems that have baffled countless others, becoming academic giants who have influenced an era and whose legacy continues to this day. And don't underestimate fireball magic. The enlightenment of the magical age began with fire, which holds a very special significance for the magical world. The saying goes, "Magic has a myriad of variations, but fire is the most supreme" (original text: Magic has countless variations, but only fire is the most special and noble). This is the enlightening status of fire magic. Humanity raised torches, and civilization was born in the light of fire.

Similarly, the first person to light a campfire with magic ushered in a new chapter in civilization.

Starting from the fourth round, 37 was able to use her deck skillfully. Although her combinations were still very immature, she was no longer completely on the defensive and could launch beautiful counterattacks. The jumping numbers and formulas on the deck made her cheer.

The transformation from the mathematical to the technological level is condensed into a small card. It does omit and simplify many things, but the weight of civilization and the joy of exploration are irresistible to anyone.

37. Addicted to playing cards, unable to extricate himself.

Although "Magic Assembly" is a game, it is also an educational tool with a certain depth. It is perfectly suitable for theoretical testing. In fact, some magicians even use "Magic Assembly" to resolve conflicts, and it has even become a sporting event.

However, in the short term, 37 has absolutely no chance of defeating Wanqi. Her flash of inspiration has not yet developed to the point where an industrialized country driven by steam engines can crush an agricultural country (Italy: Can it really crush them?). So it is still the same old story of Chen Rui eating peppercorns and drinking mint water - Uncle Yi (losing).

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was afternoon. The number of spectators around us had increased considerably, including Arcana.

It wasn't until Wanqi saw Arcana that he remembered why he was there.

He used to joke that "even if your wife dies, you still have to play Gwent," but he ended up creating a real-life example of it.

I'm so ashamed, so ashamed. I can't do this again.

"Magic Assembly" is so much fun! (JPG)

After the 37th round, Wan Qi felt he couldn't continue like this. He couldn't spend the whole day playing cards. This wasn't the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! where you could win everything just by playing cards.

"Well, 37, let's call it a day. Haste makes waste."

"Talk? Are we done playing? I just thought of a good combination."

"You could try playing with your good friends."

“Yeah!” 37 looked at Sophia beside her.

For some reason, Sophia felt a chill run from her heels to the top of her head when she looked at her friend with such longing in her eyes.

Oh no, they're coming for me!

Section 92: Arcana, why aren't you smiling?

(I'm taking a break today, so this is only a 10,000-word update! There will be another update shortly.)

"That was so interesting, what was it?"

"A new game? Interesting."

"Can we play too?"

"Want to play 'Puzzle Magic'? Come here to get your cards!"

Wanqi generously distributed the "Magic Assembly" game, because games are more fun when everyone plays together.

When they come up with any unique magic, Wanqi can share it directly. After all, the cards are given away for free, so it's only natural for them to contribute their card skills from the game.

Only mutual benefit can ensure long-term sustainability.

However, after the cards were dealt, Arcana disappeared. Just as Wan Qi was about to search high and low for him, his mental communication amulet was activated, and the voice of Virtin echoed in his mind.

The preview version of "1999" has been updated.

[Understood. Let's study the preview version first, and then settle accounts with Arcana.]

It's getting late, so we'll have to spend the night on Apailang Island.

After greeting the other members of Si Chen's team and confirming their current status, Wan Qi and Wei Erting went into the box to study the plot of "1999".

The others were sensible enough not to go inside; the box was now their private world.

Suddenly, Wilting said, "In a few days, I will be 17 years old."

"It's your birthday!" Wan Qi felt a pang of dread. Oh no, he hadn't prepared a gift.

Wilting shook his head and said, "I don't know my birthday, so Christmas Day is the start of the year, and that's when I start counting."

"That's a memorable day. Would you like something as a gift?"

Veldin hugged Wanqi and said, "I already have the best gift."

“It is my honor, Miss Sichen.”

Wan Qi picked up Virtue and hugged her. The latter quietly nestled in Wan Qi's arms. The two sat on the sofa, Wan Qi holding Virtue, and together they turned on their phones.

"1999", launch!

The important matter is the priority; we can deal with the future later.

Other players can skip the story in "1999", but Vanchi and Virtin have to consider many things.

It really is about watching frame by frame. Although the real-world situation has deviated greatly from the plot's trajectory, the game's storyline still has reference value. World mapping is a rare opportunity, so use it whenever possible.

"Ah, Marcus's teacher has been killed!"

"Here's a new music pack, 'Ode to Dionysus,' it sounds good."

"It has a very classic feel and can be used to host cocktail parties."

"142d is completely out of control."

"Perhaps for her, death is the best relief, and nothing else matters."

"The Arcana's Rain of Immunity technique also has this side effect."

"The Foundation is preparing to purchase red crystals from me. The Rain of Immunity technique of the Reconstruction Hand is important, but not that important. It should be used as a backup option."

"Hoffmann knot, what an honorable yet sorrowful name."

“Marcus has grown up too, but the price is really… wait, Tao Dian, the Chinese voice actor, I think I know why now.”

"This has nothing to do with voice acting, right?"

"Playing with memes, playing with memes."

After watching the entire plot, Wan Qi discovered a key point.

“This Ms. Marta…you have some connection with her.”

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Wan Qi looked at Virtin, then at the unpacked picture of Marta, and then took out a blindfold and said, "Put this on."

"Um."

After Virtue put on the blindfold given to him by Wan Qi, Wan Qi took a deep breath.

"It looks like, it really looks like."

"what?"

"Your resemblance to Ms. Marta."

"Is it because they look alike? Or, as you said, is it reused game assets?"

"No, no, no." Wan Qi shook his head, then explained, "In the game's storyline, all the characters who interact with the protagonist are not simple NPCs. They will at least have a storyline or drive the plot forward. Generally speaking, the game will not deliberately create characters that are very similar to the protagonist, unless they have a special relationship with the protagonist."
