Alex started reading the translated book. As he read on, he realized that it wasn't as easy as he had expected it to be. He didn't have the sa talent as the in-ga character and thus failed to rember much of the 5000 words the first ti through.
Once he was done, he once again started to read the book from the start. He had to read it over and over to understand what was being told throughout the book.
"No wonder the people would rather just click the 'Learn' button. If your talent is like this, I assu it will take forever for them to learn anything," Alex thought.
After 7 or 8 tis of fully reading the book, did he finally understand what the book was trying to say? It spoke of a way to pull in Qi from the surroundings and introduce it to your body.
He sat cross-legged in a lotus position and couldn't wait to start cultivating. Unlike in the ga, he couldn't just start to breathe slowly and hope the thod worked. He would have to actively do.
"Here goes nothing," he thought and took a deep breath. Then, he started to do what he felt was moving sothing along his 'ridians'. He felt a tingling sensation in his body, but couldn't tell if that was because he felt excited or he was genuinely taking in Qi.
After a while, he thought he felt sothing weird with his body. He happily thought he had succeeded, but turned out it was just a placebo effect.
Just because he wanted it to be true, he saw results in places there were none. He 'cultivated' for another 15 to 20 minutes, only to realize how stupid he was being.
"Is it really possible that I am overthinking it all and this is all a coincidence?" Alex wondered. Nothing he did was working. There was 0 evidence proving his claims.
"Oh, Sister said sothing about those conspiracy theorists. I should check it out," he thought and opened his laptop.
He searched through the internet to find information about these people that believed the ga to be a real word. Unfortunately, it really turned out to be a bunch of conspiracy theorists.
They barely gave any evidence towards their claims and all they kept on saying was stuff like 'don't believe them' or 'stop being a sheep', and also the most repeated one of all, 'think for yourself.'
Alex was severely disappointed. He was back to square one where he had a theory of the ga being real, but no way to prove it. He had minor evidence, but nothing concrete that could explain anything in full.
The only thing that could possibly explain was—
"The chip," His eyes shined as he thought of it. "I didn't find any information regarding similar formations, but that doesn't an I won't be able to find information if I read about formations themselves."
He imdiately went back into the capsule and logged in to the ga. The fog was still the sa and would likely stay that way until the formation was broken or it naturally ended.
With nothing else to do, he sat down in a lotus position and started thinking of the various stuff he read about formations till now.
He started to understand how formations worked. Until now, he had read many books about formations but hadn't stopped a single mont to try and understand what they ant. Today was going to be his first major step towards learning about formations.
There were 3 things required when making a formation. The design of the formation, the tal that is used to make the design, and the source of energy to run the formation.
The design of the formation was the actual image of the formation, made using lines that could do different things depending on what the tal used to carve was made out of, and what sort of energy was being passed along.
The designs themselves were simple lines that were connected to each other using the different points at which they t. For example,? one could use 5 formation flags and have a formation where the shape was a pentagon and have its function be sothing.
The sa formation flags could be used to make a pentagram, and its function would be sothing else.
Of course, formations were not this simple. You couldn't change how it looked and have it function in a certain manner. It also needed an appropriate formation flag or a tal plate on top of which it would be drawn.
These were things that were made by artifact masters. Depending on the tal in use, there would be different results.
Lastly, the thing required to run the whole thing was the energy. Most of the ti, it was just a simple spirit stone, but other tis, it could be rare materials or monster cores.
"A tal plate, with the formation lines carved on it. The first two requirents certainly are there," Alex thought when he rembered the chip.
"As for the energy… could it be the connection to the wall that we have to plug the helt too?" he wondered. After all, as long as an energy source was there, a formation should be able to function quite properly.
"Am I… right?" he started thinking.
In the end, no matter what he thought, he couldn't deny the fact that there were just too many coincidences for him to ignore.
Still, he decided to ignore it all for now. Ning learned what he could about the formations until it was dark again and logged out.
He had classes tomorrow, so he decided to make sure he had done all of his howork and stuff. Also, he had been working the whole day today, so he was incredibly hungry and needed to eat as well.
So, he went to the kitchen and prepared a delicious al for himself. Hannah wasn't going to wake up until tomorrow morning, so he only prepared it for himself.
After that, he logged back into the ga.
