Chapter 177: Opening the Door to a New World for Tan Han
“A portable Earth Vein Operating System?”
Tan Han looked at the mosaic in front of her with a curious expression, so blurry that she couldn't see anything inside.
But she didn't believe that Little Han was the type to show off for no reason, so she was absolutely certain that he was doing sothing.
“But, why is this a blur?”
In the end, Tan Han still voiced her confusion.
“Oh, it's because I turned on the gaze-tracking anti-peeping mode. So things can't be pointed at by people who are just here to watch the show.”
I responded.
“Then am I just here to watch the show?”
“What are you talking about? My academic friend, you are naturally qualified to see it.”
I operated the system, switching to multi-person sharing under the anti-peeping mode, and transferred another permission to Tan Han.
This also showed that I acknowledged the final result of our bet.
However, I found that this portable system couldn't share functions, such as multi-person light screen following or anything like that; only I, the operator, could use them.
After obtaining the shared permission for the earth vein, the mosaic in Tan Han's eyes at this mont gradually dissipated, transforming into a 3D model so detailed it made one's scalp tingle.
“What is this?”
Tan Han shook her head.
When she first saw this, she felt a bit dizzy.
“This is a spellbook model, a visualized entity presented after 3D modeling, used for auxiliary research.”
I explained carefully to Tan Han.
“A spellbook? That ball of light? That thing can be materialized and have its internal structure modeled? How is that possible?”
Hearing this, Tan Han's first reaction was disbelief.
That ball of light, the spellbook, a thing with no physical form, a spellbook that needed to be communicated with using ntal power, could it have so many invisible structures inside?
But on second thought, it seed quite reasonable.
A spellbook could cast spells just by being controlled with ntal power, so there must be a clear process, it was just that she herself couldn't explore that domain.
“Denying sothing as impossible just because you encounter sothing new, this is not a reaction a study god should have.”
I said.
“Sorry, I misspoke.”
Tan Han quickly realized her problem and imdiately admitted her mistake.
At the sa ti, she felt a door opening towards her at this very mont!
This is the essence of transcendent power, isn't it?
At this mont, Tan Han felt as if she was about to sublimate, making her see her confused future clearly.
After she arrived at Witch Academy, she had countless seniors who ca to guide her, constantly telling her and instilling in her all sorts of common knowledge and precautions about Witch Academy, from the most basic magic power source to spellbooks, and the classification of spellbooks by strength, and then to the Witch ditation thod.
She felt as if she had climbed to the pinnacle of this academy right after enrolling.
The most powerful spellbook she knew of was the Million God Spellbook, the highest-level spellbook she could obtain in the academy was the Myriad Spellbook, and as a newcor, she had obtained a thousand-point super consumption spellbook.
It seed that with just one more step forward, she would reach a height unattainable by anyone else in this academy.
The only thing limiting her was the amount of her magic power source.
But even for the magic power source, there was an upper limit to how much one could carry before becoming a Transcendent Witch, roughly around ten thousand units, which was one of the reasons why the highest-level spellbook obtainable in Witch Academy was the Myriad Spellbook.
This feeling of seeing the end at a single glance was really not good for Tan Han, even though she could only stay in the academy for ten years before graduating.
The previously ntioned Witchification process, advancing to a Transcendent Witch, and so on, were too far away for her.
She was even considering whether to pick up so more crafts, like alchemy, or so other skills.
But now she understood, and she also knew what to do in the academy.
Spellbooks!
This great synthesizer that uses transcendent energy to form terrifying spells, its structure is the most important thing to learn!
She simply couldn't imagine what kind of brilliance transcendent power would bloom within her hands if she mastered the ans of creating spellbooks.
At least, it definitely wouldn't be like her current self, who only knew how to cast spells foolishly.
No, in fact, she had already witnessed that scene, that Fireball, that standard consumption spellbook that had suppressed her completely from beginning to end…
“This... which spell's spellbook is this?”
Tan Han couldn't help but ask.
“A standard consumption spellbook, Fireball.”
I said with a smile. Speaking of Fireball, Tan Han should be no stranger to it, right?
“Fireball!”
After hearing my words, the desire in Tan Han's eyes was almost overflowing, to the point that it even made my hair stand on end a little.
“Are you alright? Although I know you really want to learn about this knowledge, we have to take it slow.”
I waved my hand in front of Tan Han, signaling her not to daydream for too long.
“Huh? Oh, right, you're right. A ten-thousand-foot building rises from flat ground. We do need to start from the most basic place.”
After Tan Han ca to her senses, she imdiately reined in her earlier loss of composure.
Her reaction just now was indeed a bit excessive, but she couldn't be blad for it.
After all, anyone would be in a daze for a while when faced with temptation, and Tan Han was no exception.
“So I'd like to ask how exactly this is done? If I want to start now, what things do I need to prepare and what kind of knowledge do I need to cram?”
“You, that's too many questions at once.”
I looked at Tan Han and said.
Actually, I myself am also at a half-baked level.
For to teach Tan Han would simply be disastrous, so I never planned to teach Tan Han myself.
Besides, it's not like Tan Han doesn't have a teacher.
For these exploratory cognitions, if Tan Han were to ask and study on her own, she might learn even more than .
“Also, I am a newcor just like you. If you want to know about these things, it would be clearer to ask your teacher than to ask directly.”
I corrected Tan Han.
“This…”
At this mont, Tan Han's heart was itching.
The other party wouldn't say anything no matter what she asked, which naturally made her very anxious, but she didn't dare to ask so directly.
She was afraid that such an attitude would arouse Little Han's resentnt.
“What? Does Teacher Lina usually not teach you so common sense about the transcendent?”
I asked curiously.
After all, other counselors lead three to five classes at a ti, but Teacher Ji Niang is different.
This one only has to lead our Class 14, one class.
It could be said that she has spent too much ti on , but is that so?
I feel she's quite leisurely in her office.
Alright, actually, it's not certain.
I usually don't take the initiative to disturb Teacher Ji Niang, so I don't know what Teacher Ji Niang is busy with.
I feel that this group that Teacher Ji Niang ford is completely a front, using it as an excuse to specially set up a classroom, a class, for .
And it's not far from her office.
This kind of treatnt is truly one of a kind.
“Teacher Lina, she… I will go ask her.”
After thinking for a while, Tan Han still felt that she should first test the waters with her counselor.
Although her counselor was very fond of her, she had never heard her talk about this usage of spellbooks.
No it seems she had ntioned it, but it wasn't put this way.
It should be “micro-modding”, “spell attunent”.
Thinking back carefully now, Teacher Lina did say that when a spell is used enough tis and one understands it well enough, one can use ntal power to attune the spellbook, making the spellbook display power far beyond its original state, and it would also be more convenient for oneself to use.
In the future, it would no longer be the person adapting to the spell, but the spell adapting to the person.
And adding the live broadcast replay of the previous competition, the concept ntioned by that comntator, modding a spellbook.
If a spellbook could be modded at will, that would be too amazing!
“Then you should be able to get going now, right? For so things, you only have the qualification to communicate after you understand them.”
“I'm very sorry, I can't explain this common knowledge to you like a teacher. My expressive ability is insufficient. If I re-tell the teacher's understanding, I might lead you astray. Instead of that, you might as well ask your teacher directly. As Transcendent Witches, their cognition will at least not be wrong. We can then discuss any discrepancies together.”
“It's okay, you're right.”
Tan Han nodded and said, then stood up, “Anyway, thank you for leading into the magical world of spellbooks. I should also try to explore it myself, until I reach a level where I can communicate with you.”
Tan Han said with a smile.
In fact, even without , she could have asked her teacher after learning about the concept of spellbook modding, but now that she had beco a nominal “academic friend”, it gave her the determination to walk this path.
“Mm, good luck.”
I said with a smile.
After all, talking to smart people is easy.
I didn't expect to shift the trouble so quickly, saving the effort of explaining.
Even though Tan Han had already won the bet and I had acknowledged her status, she still didn't use this opportunity to pester , which was enough to prove the strength of her self-control.
And her personality is very competitive, even declaring that she would reach a level sufficient to communicate with .
Although…
I'm not that far ahead of her.
With her learning speed, she'll probably catch up to soon.
Suddenly, I feel a sense of urgency…
But there is a very thick barrier between us, and that is the gap in Spirit Vision.
It's like how a congenitally blind person cannot imagine what the concept of color seen by a normal person is like.
Spirit Vision is truly the most solid wall in the transcendent world, a ans by which bottlenecks separate worlds.
After seeing Tan Han off, I was alone here again.
The contestants down in the arena were still fighting.
Many of them were in friendly matches for the bottom fifty rankings.
After all, without having to fight for first place, this kind of competition with not much pressure was even more surprising than the elimination rounds.
They were really letting themselves go.
And I continued to understand and construct basic consumption spellbooks.
The speed of this construction would definitely get faster and faster, for no other reason than practice makes perfect.
But I would soon encounter various situations that require looking up information.
Fortunately, even the portable earth vein system, just like the one in the laboratory, could connect to the library's database.
The more I did this, the more I felt my own shortcomings.
If only I were the kind of genius who has an eidetic mory and can understand things after reading them once, but I can only dream about such things.
When I finally got tired of those materials, I then stood up, stretched, moved my muscles and bones, and then checked the ti on my phone.
In terms of ti, it was actually still quite early, but at this mont I was already thinking about how to buy those potions.
Since Teacher Ji Niang had suggested Witch Plaza, I didn't mind going there to have a look.
In this afternoon's competition, I had a bye and shouldn't have been involved in the arena.
So, I have now decided to go and buy so of those potions to try, to get through these two days first.
At the end of the newcor competition, after I obtain that still-unknown spell, I'll make more specific arrangents.
I've been to Witch Plaza before.
The last ti I went was with Big Sis Bai, but now, I was going alone.
But last ti, it seed I was only focused on looking at clothes and didn't pay too much attention to potions, elixirs, and the like.
But in my impression, they should be for sale.
And, not only was I going to buy potions, I was also searching in the library on my phone to first confirm the nas of potions that are similar to enhancing mory and giving one an eidetic mory.
However, after finding information on this, I was almost confused by the two concepts of potions and elixirs, because both seed to be dicines, and both were the kind that take effect after being drunk.
First is the concept of a potion.
Potions originate from the research, exploration, and experintation of Potion Alchemists, and are the finished products they have summarized.
They are clear liquids concocted using alchemy.
These potions have many of the effects I need, such as the ntal power potion Teacher Ji Niang gave before, which increases ntal power, strengthens the physical body, improves physical fitness, poisons and detoxifies, cures diseases and heals injuries, or has indescribable effects.
These are all potions.
Potion Alchemists would record the entire process of refining the materials for these potions, and this gave rise to another profession, that is, people who do not study potion alchemy but directly research potion recipes and try to reproduce the potions.
This category is the Apothecary, who can produce large quantities of potions, and may even perceive the mysteries within, creating potion production lines, directly driving down the price of specific potions.
And then there are elixirs.
Elixirs should be considered a skill exclusive to witches, because it requires the use of transcendent energy like magic power for refinent.
Elixirs require a large number of materials to be brewed.
Unlike potions, which mostly use dicinal materials, elixirs are broader in scope; anything can be used.
This is because elixirs are not things for curing diseases and saving lives, although they can also save and harm people, but are for brewing liquids with various special effects.
Similarly, this liquid is often not as clear and transparent as potions.
Sotis, various rituals are used in conjunction with refining elixirs.
Such elixirs may have more special, even terrifying effects, and are often accompanied by terrifying negative effects.
After all, rituals generally involve the ritual of equivalent exchange.
If you want to achieve a magical effect, you need to pay an equivalent price.
For example, cursing elixirs, gender-change elixirs, bloodline transformation elixirs, and even elixirs that can grow phantom limbs all exist, but they all have significant side effects.
In addition, there is one more point to note.
A witch will not beco a boy after taking a gender-change potion, because the only gender in the witch race is witch.
No matter how they change, they will only be witches.
However, a phantom limb elixir could work, but the terrifying life level of a witch will continuously expel this external force from the elixir, so even an elixir that claims to permanently grow a phantom limb is only temporary for a witch.
A witch is, after all, a witch.
Moreover, whether it's potions or elixirs, the ones with significant effects are very expensive, with the starting threshold being paynt in Mithril.
But whether it's potions or elixirs, there are naturally low-end versions, or those with very poor effects.
Their prices are very low, many can be purchased with Red Copper, and so rampant potions and elixirs can even be bought directly with money.
But the money spent will definitely be very expensive.
And even more advanced potions and elixirs even require paynt in Arcanite Gold, and may even only support private customization or barter, which shows that in the potion and elixir industry, it's a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
