Another World Super Dimension Summoner

"You are a very down-to-earth person. Okay, then just do as I say, okay?" The old dean looked at Qin Bin with interest.

"Follow the teacher's instructions."

"Very good. From now on, you will do farm work in the morning and be responsible for lunch. In the afternoon, you will read "General History of the Continent" and "Basic Theory of Elemental Magic". When school is over, you will be dismissed. By the way, you can speak the common language of the continent fairly well, so reading and writing should not be a big problem, right?"

"Teacher, I think I have no problem speaking the common language of the mainland, but I still have some problems with reading and writing, especially some specialized terms. I think I still need the teacher's guidance."

"Is that so..." The old dean blinked, and suddenly looked at Xiaobai, "Little guy, why don't you help him."

"Hey, old man, this is your disciple. What's the point of me helping you...huh? Are you...thinking it's too much trouble to just accept a disciple?"

"How can it be..."

Although he said no, the old dean looked away, which made Qin Bin and Xiao Bai raise their eyes.

"Ahem." The old dean straightened his throat and turned to Qin Bin and said, "Let's do this. According to the previous arrangement, you read the book first. There is a dictionary in the study. If you really don't understand, ask me."

"Follow the teacher's instructions." Qin Bin responded without any hesitation.

"Okay, let's go read some books. Oh, the study is the last room in the corridor on the second floor."

"Yes."

After Qin Bin responded, he put the branch of the Tree of Life into his storage ring, then turned and walked into the house.

As for the branches of the Tree of Life, Qin Bin also took a look at its entry and found it to be a good thing.

【生命元素威力+9、四系基础元素威力+5、自然祝福+9、凝神+9、健康+9的生命之树枝干——7143愿力】

But just after Qin Bin took two steps, the old dean suddenly called him.

"You wait first."

"teacher?"

"I'll look for it... I got it. This is for you. After all, the little dragons have given you gifts. As a teacher, I can't be stingy."

As the old dean spoke, he took out a book with a metal frame and inlaid with several gems of different sizes from his storage ring and threw it to Qin Bin.

When Qin Bin took it, Xiao Bai exclaimed, "Old man, you are really generous. You just used a magic weapon!"

Although Xiaobai didn't recognize this book, she could still feel the unique weak fluctuations of the artifact.

"Hehe~ Of course." The old dean was pleased with himself and introduced Qin Bin. "Xiaobin, this is the Book of Kend Horend, a magic book created with great effort by the great wizard of the Divine Realm in the last era. By the way, don't learn the spells in it before you go to the Holy Land, otherwise it will easily burn your brain. Also, you can use this thing as a magic wand. After all, it is a magic artifact with extremely strong magic amplification, and the spells in it are just accessories."

"Thank you, teacher--"

"Okay, okay, let's go."

"Yes."

After Qin Bin responded, he turned and walked into the house.

While walking up the stairs, Qin Bin also took a look at the entry of this artifact.

【四系基础元素威力+15、四系基础元素亲和+5、魔力恢复+10、四系基础元素吸收+10的肯德·霍伦德之书——169愿力】

——A divine tool...Is it the teacher's favor...Or is there some other reason...

——But no matter what, it is a great favor...

Qin Bin shook his head slightly and decided not to think about those trivial things anymore.

After putting the Book of Kend Horland into the space ring, he quickly walked to the study room that the old dean mentioned.

This is a room of nearly 20 square meters. Apart from a desk and a chair in the middle of the room, there are only bookshelves and a large number of books.

The bookshelf is also very unique. It is a wall-mounted bookshelf with no gaps left on the four walls except for the large windows and the door.

The bookshelf is filled with all kinds of books, and the backlit chairs make people want to read.

There are classification labels on the bookshelf, which allows Qin Bin to quickly find "General History of the Continent" and "Basic Theory of Elemental Magic".

However, Qin Bin did not touch the "Basic Theory of Elemental Magic", but found a "Dictionary of Uncommon Characters", then sat cross-legged on the ground and read the "General History of the Continent".

Time passed slowly, and around noon, Qin Bin, who was watching intently, heard the old dean shouting from downstairs, "It's time for dinner."

Qin Bin, who always felt very friendly, couldn't help but smile and left the study.

The reason why I feel so familiar is that when I was a child playing at my grandfather's house, every time it was time for dinner, my grandpa or grandma would shout this at the top of their lungs outside the house.

After coming down from upstairs, Qin Bin saw that the old dean and Xiaobai were already setting up tableware and spreading out seven or eight food boxes at the dining table next to the living room, so Qin Bin hurried over to help.

Soon, lunch began.

Qin Bin also tasted the level of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy cafeteria. To be honest, in terms of Kana cuisine, the level of the academy cafeteria is one or two levels higher than Sofia’s, and the taste is very good.

However, Kana cuisine is generally a bit monotonous, basically roasting, frying and stewing, and the staple food is bread.

This was really no surprise to Qin Bin.

Therefore, Qin Bin's evaluation of the development of the food culture of the Holy Kana Empire is that it is not developed, but only average.

Xiao Bai, who had become picky about Chinese food prepared by Sofia, couldn't help but say after eating for a while, "Chinese food is still tasty, while Kana cuisine is still monotonous."

"Chinese food?" The old dean who was cutting steaks blinked and looked at Qin Bin.

"Teacher, Chinese food is the general term for the cuisine of my hometown." Qin Bin said with a smile, "When the kitchen is ready, I will let you taste the dishes of my hometown."

"Oh? Is it delicious?"

"Of course." It was Xiaobai who answered. Xiaobai smiled and said, "Kana cuisine is basically roasted, fried, and stewed. Chinese cuisine has three cooking methods: stir-frying, roasting, steaming, deep-frying, stir-frying, broiling, pickling, braising, smoking, freezing, mixing, braising, boiling, simmering, braising, rinsing, soaking, boiling, boiling, roasting, simmering, air-frying, crisping, fermenting, sweetening, braising, combining, stewing, sauce, stir-frying, and coloring. Each method has a system, and there are so many dishes that it is hard to count them all."

"It's amazing that you can remember it." Qin Bin couldn't help but look at Xiaobai in surprise.

"I will never make mistakes when it comes to food!" Xiaobai said with a complacent smile.

Qin Bin couldn't help but find it a little funny.

The old dean also came back to his senses from the previous series of "reports". "So many cooking methods... Amazing... To be honest, I am tired of eating Kana vegetables. I started the vegetable garden outside, thinking about whether I could come up with some new dishes..."

"Old man, I'm not looking down on you, but given the state of your kitchen, I really don't think you can make anything decent."

The old dean's face turned red after being blocked by Xiao Bai. He was so angry that he shouted loudly, "Little devil, just wait and see!"

"Hehe~ Old man, I'm waiting for your performance~"

"Hmph, just wait."

The old dean glanced at Xiaobai and then looked at Qin Bin.

The old dean asked, "If you don't have the habit of not talking while eating,

"Let's talk about food later. Um, Xiaobin, you were reading a book before, right? If you don't understand anything, just ask."

"Good teacher..."

Next, Qin Bin began to ask some questions about folk customs, and the old dean carefully answered them one by one.

Just like that, the lunch was finished with Qin Bin and the old dean asking and answering questions.

When Qin Bin started to clean up the table, the old dean asked a question.

"Xiao Bin, have you read "A General History of the Continent" before?"

Qin Bin responded with a smile, "Yes, teacher. In my opinion, to integrate into this world, we must first try to understand the history and customs of this world."

"Your mind is clear, very good - by the way, I forgot to tell you." The old dean nodded and then frowned.

Qin Bin also restrained his expression and pretended to listen attentively.

The old dean said, "I don't have many requirements for my disciples. There are only three points: don't kill innocent people, don't bully the weak, and don't rape or rob. As long as you don't commit these three things, I won't interfere with your life. But if you do, at the very least, your magic power will be destroyed, and at the worst, I will execute you with my own hands."

"I understand this, and I will keep it in mind. I will reflect on myself three times a day - that is, I will remind myself at all times not to violate the taboos."

"Well, it's good that you have this kind of awareness. But you don't have to worry too much about it. My disciple, just be an upright person and live up to the conscience of heaven and earth."

"The disciple understands."

When Qin Bin bowed very formally, Xiaobai, who had floated up from a chair beside him, spoke.

"Old man, you should be able to see souls, right?"

The old dean shook his head, "I don't have that kind of talent, but I can feel the 'breath' of the soul."

"Oh, then we can also know Xiaobin's situation, right?"

"I know what you want to say. Xiaobin's soul is indeed very pure. It seems that he has never done anything bad since he was a child. Well, it's even purer than your soul."

"Old man——"

Just as Xiaobai was about to say something in response, the old dean interrupted him.

"Little girl, people will change, especially in the aristocratic circles of the mainland, it is really easy to corrupt people. Drawing a warning line in advance now will only benefit Xiaobin."

"Okay, you're right."

Since the old dean said so, Xiaobai had no choice but to stop talking...

Chapter 063: Science and Magic

Qin Bin basically spent the next afternoon in the old dean's study.

"General History of the Eternal Continent", abbreviated as "General History of the Continent", consists of 19 volumes, 21 books, and more than 20 million words.

This is a collection of historical materials with humans as the main body, which was collected, revised and compiled by the Holy Kana Empire, which was relatively powerful in the past two hundred years.

It covers more than two thousand years of the Eternal Era, and the formation, rise and fall of hundreds of human nations. It also provides an overview of military politics, folk customs, science and technology, etc. It is called history, but it is more like a simplified encyclopedia.

Qin Bin not only had to finish reading the "General History of the Continent" series, but also had to finish reading the six-volume "Chronicle of the Holy Kana Empire", which had an estimated word count of over four million, and the "Rise and Fall of the Lunia Kingdom", a historical document on the predecessor of the Holy Kana Empire, which also had six volumes and about four to five million words. Only then could he have a preliminary understanding of the human society of this world and the country of Holy Kana.

If you want to know more about dragons, elves, demi-humans, dwarves, orcs and other races, you have to read dozens of works with millions of words, such as "Records of Alien Races", "Brief Description of Elves", "Brief Explanation of Alien Dimensions", "Genealogy of Alien Kings", etc. And these are just the works compiled and illustrated by humans, so they are bound to have limitations. If you really want to understand the races other than humans, you have to read the works of each race itself.

After seeing such a huge amount of historical records, Qin Bin roughly understood why there was basically no such content in Leah and Sophia's knowledge memory.

Because apart from professionals, not many people can understand and finish this thing.

By the way, the papermaking and printing technologies in this world are very advanced. Qin Bin not only saw illustrated newspapers, written paper, embossed paper, etc. with craftsmanship very close to that of the 21st century on Earth, but also papers like coated paper and offset paper.

Speaking of printing technology, although Qin Bin could not tell what kind of printing technology was commonly used in this world, he was able to see such a large-scale printing of books. In addition, Leah and the others all had printed textbooks. Even when he went out on the street yesterday, Qin Bin could see printed street flyers and the like. This shows that the printing technology in this world is also very advanced.

Judging from the whole picture and combined with what he has seen and heard in the past few days, Qin Bin can basically judge that the technological level of the Eternal Continent is not low at all. In fact, due to its unique magical energy, it has developed an incomparably brilliant magical technological civilization.

Isn't it strange that magic and technology go hand in hand?

Qin Bin did not find it strange. Instead, he felt that this was the normal situation, or in other words, this was common sense.

Because technology is not a purpose or a specific product, but an overview of a methodology and its corresponding applications.

Science and technology, science and technology, is just a general term for "science" and "technology".

Science, in essence, is a way of summarizing the laws of nature, and technology is the corresponding application process after the summary of the laws of nature.

The 'laws of nature' can be understood as 'laws of the universe' or 'laws of the world'.

In other words, anything that meets the above criteria can be called a type of technology.

To put it bluntly, the magic of the Eternal Continent is also a summary and application of the laws of nature.

The difference between the two lies only in the overall perception and application process.

Even on a theoretical level, as long as there is a natural law of "creating something out of nothing" in this world, then the irrational magic that can create something out of nothing is essentially a kind of "natural science".

Does the magic of creating something out of nothing exist in this world?

Of course Qin Bin didn't know.

But there is one thing Qin Bin knows, that is, his nameless system still obeys laws such as the law of conservation of energy, that is, energy will not appear out of thin air, nor will it disappear out of thin air.

Although it is impossible to understand how the system converts conceptual energy such as willpower into physical matter, since it obeys laws such as the law of conservation of energy, it proves that the system's operating mechanism has rules and logic, which can be understood as a higher-level natural law. The process by which the system operates to produce results is the so-called technology. In other words, the nameless system may be a product of science and technology.

Qin Bin was not unfamiliar with the way the system operated by consuming special energy and producing different substances through some unknown process.

Because this process is very similar to the alchemy of the Eternal Continent and the atomic layer reconstruction technology on Earth.

Although Qin Bin has not started reading magic books yet, Leah and Sophia also have some overviews of the alchemy of the Eternal Continent in their knowledge and memory.

The alchemy of the Eternal Continent is very similar to that of the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist", both of which are a technique of decomposing and reconstructing matter.

This alchemy, in essence, is the technology of atomic-level reconstruction of matter on Earth.

Of course, the atomic layer reconstruction technology on Earth is still very immature. It is still difficult to achieve high-precision control of the atomic level of matter, let alone reconstruction. However, in essence it is exactly the same as the alchemy of this world. Both are a way of thinking to manipulate the basic layer of the material structure.

The only difference is that the Earth relies on various super instruments, while the Eternal Continent relies on the magician's mental power and the special convenience of the magic system practitioners to easily reach the atomic layer of matter.
