The supplies that need to be purchased are simpler, you just need to make a list, and naturally someone will rush around to prepare it.
Speaking of supplies, Bei Gaoyang purchased a large amount of food this time, firstly to prepare for the intelligent NPC cultivation plan, and secondly to prepare players to start 'eating' in the fourth test.
Well, the player is essentially an undead, and I have never heard of the undead needing to eat.
But the birth of the undead relies on special environments and conditions. What are the players' special environments and conditions? It is naturally the magic network.
Maintaining the existence of players requires a large amount of system resources. In the past, there was no condition. Now that it is the fourth level of the magic network, it is natural to start solving this pain point.
Besides, how can there be a second life without delicious food?
But letting the undead eat normal food instead of relying on dark element magic and soul-devouring power to maintain their existence is something that the current magic system cannot solve, and no mage has ever been bored enough to study this topic. It is too late to start research now, so we can only
Rely on the Book of Canaan to solve it.
The simplest way is to remove the undead attribute from the player. Unfortunately, the foundation has been built since the first layer of the magic network. If you want to change it now, you have to perform a major surgery on the magic network, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Undead + delicious food...it really cost Bei Gaoyang a lot of brain cells.
He needs to clarify the most basic magic theory and make sure that it is at least theoretically achievable, otherwise it will be left to the Book of Canaan, and he doesn't know what it will be 'revised' in the end.
Inspired by ghouls!
Well, ghouls are a very special life situation, because they are in the twilight zone between the undead and living things. Ghouls can survive by eating rotten corpses, especially the corpses of intelligent creatures such as humans.
Energy and nutrition can also rely on dark element magic and soul to maintain special life situations.
After dissecting more than a hundred ghouls, Bei Gaoyang figured out the physiological structure of this creature, then designed a brand new magic circle to simulate this physiological structure, and then compared the physiological structure of the players. Finally,
Adjustments to [Magic Clone].
He has already tested it on player character Zero. Without the need for the Book of Canaan, he has basically achieved the goal of maintaining Number Zero by eating 'fresh corpses' and using the remaining soul power on the 'fresh corpses'.
The character's survival and power consumption are therefore reduced.
But 'fresh corpses' do not include plants, which means they still cannot use normal nutrients such as starch, sugar and carbohydrates.
Therefore, in the end, we still have to rely on the Book of Canaan to solve the problem.
Bei Gaoyang has always been very careful when using the Book of Canaan. In the third test, no new spells were invented except for the third layer of magic network and the magic intelligent workshop. This time, we have to solve this pain point.
It seems there is no way around it.
He had also considered whether to just make do with it, and he didn't see any objections from the players.
But considering the future, especially the goal of Second Life, and the belief value associated with it, it is better to solve it earlier than later. If you wait for the fifth and sixth levels of the magic network, the price you pay will be higher than now.
Even bigger.
——Then invent another [Magic Kitchen].
He finally thought helplessly.
Fortunately, the theory of magic has been straightened out. There is a big difference between normal ingredients and the racial identity of the undead. The worst thing is to add some such 'seasonings' when cooking. Of course, there is no need to let the players know about these 'seasonings', it is just fine.
Supplies used to solve some tasks that are difficult to deal with, such as teeth, cerebellums, venoms... Who knows what these rags can be used for, and Bei Gaoyang and Magic Network don't need them anyway.
, this time the waste was reused.
But what about the food?
The food produced in this way, not to mention the taste, is scary enough just from the appearance. Anyway, Bei Gaoyang was not willing to try a bite of the final product.
What a dark dish!
But don't forget, what the player sees, hears, touches...and now what he tastes are all adjustable.
hey-hey……
The evil-hearted archmage smiled maliciously, and with a snap of his fingers, the dark cuisine in front of him that even a dog wouldn't eat turned into a plate of roasted lamb that was both delicious and delicious.
Despite this, he still didn't want to eat it, so he found one of Bob's friends and let him have a taste.
"It's delicious, sir. I have never eaten such tender and delicious barbecue. What kind of meat is this? It seems to have a very special taste in it?"
The NPC player who had been a guinea pig didn't know what he was eating. Bei Gaoyang, who was a black-hearted food manufacturer for the first time, was a little embarrassed and told him that the main ingredients of this dish came from an exotic plane, where
There is a precious ingredient called 'lamb meat'. If it is combined with a special spice called 'cumin' and carefully grilled using a secret method, the 'kebobs' made will be really delicious. However, current conditions do not allow it.
, the finished product still lacks many steps...
The NPC player left with a look of aftertaste and yearning on his face. He had vomiting and diarrhea for the next few days, but this is normal. Who makes him not an undead?
The invention of [Magic Kitchen] made up for a major shortcoming of Second Life and also added a very important piece of the puzzle. Bei Gaoyang plans to integrate it on the fourth level of the Magic Network as a newly launched system function to all players.
Even open to tourists.
The fourth magic network can be hung with many small plug-ins, including tourists, magic kitchen, and soul protection unit.
This time he returned to Earth and purchased enough ingredients to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people for three months. To this end, Bei Gaoyang had to make a dozen space rings with the maximum capacity. He did not see ten of his.
Are your fingers full?
In addition, the 2.0 version of the gaming helmet has begun to be shipped one after another, and the "skilled workers" are being added one after another to resume operation of the factory that has been idle for a while. It is expected that within a week, it will be able to return to the previous production capacity. The fourth test
I have a rough idea of the date.
It is initially scheduled for March 18th.
The official official website announcement has not been released yet. It will be finalized after Bei Gaoyang goes back to build the fourth level of magic network and confirms the additions and modifications.
In this way, the main purpose of this return has been achieved.
In addition to these 89 apprentices.
These people...
To be honest, Bei Gaoyang has some contradictions in his heart. This contradiction comes from the uncertainty about the position of the earth. There are three parts to try, one part to worry, one to doubt and one to fear, and one to complex emotions that even he himself cannot distinguish.
Inside.
Look at it!
At night, Bei Gaoyang stood on the roof of the seven-story building, looking at the brightly lit factory not far away.
It's so beautiful, prosperous, peaceful and happy, do you really have the heart to break it - a voice said in my heart.
Who cares about me, people still want what they want, do you need your hypocritical compassion? Wake up, this is not your hometown, it is just a highly similar place - another cold voice ridiculed.
Magic comes from the abyss. Magic is just something that neutralizes the power, divinity and faith of the fallen gods after they are assimilated into the abyss. The elemental elves are like the 'bacteria' that grow on the corpse of the god. The root of everything lies in wisdom.
The mind and soul of life.
The mind and soul are at the mysterious bottom. The human subconscious is like an iceberg hidden under the water. Only a small part can be seen. The inherited genes of intelligent creatures can be traced back to the birth of life. These jointly create
The mysterious immensity.
The indescribable mystery between nature and rationality and science is in opposition. Once the magic is there, the mystery is also there, and it will inevitably impact the order, science and civilization on this planet.
On the first floor, Bei Gaoyang sat down on the sofa, and 89 apprentices lined up in a row and handed in their "homework" one after another.
The spell configuration of the zero-ring spell [Light Spell] is extremely simple. It is as simple as a single 'electronic component'. It is not surprising that they can temper two versions of the magic network access device and complete the 'job' independently.
.
"Tell me how you feel when you describe it...you go first!"
Bei Gaoyang's attitude was not good, which reflected his complicated and contradictory emotions. Moreover, when he was an apprentice, his instructor did not give him any preferential treatment. The mage's guidance of apprentices was more of a free rein.
To most mentors, apprentices are more like cheap labor, and Bei Gaoyang is now prepared to use them in this way. As for whether they can become real spellcasters in a dangerous environment like the earth, it all depends on them.
The first person to shout was Ding Jian.
There were no lights on in the room, but a dozen candles were lit. The flickering candlelight lengthened and swayed the shadows of these people, and the face and expression of the person sitting on the sofa were hidden in shadow.
There was a mysterious and strange atmosphere in the air, and the whole small building was very cold. The air seemed to contain a different kind of composition - since the glass-like shield separated the inside and outside, each of them realized that the
Get involved in an incredible supernatural event.
In this regard, some people are excited, some are ecstatic, some are afraid, and some are thinking of ways to escape - Bei Gaoyang doesn't care about this, and there is no need to know. The cruel reality will naturally teach them what to do.
"I...I felt like...as if something was involved."
Ding Jian's answer made Bei Gaoyang slightly nod, and after gesturing for him to step back, he called another fat man to come out.
"I have a similar feeling, as if there are many invisible fleas around me. My body is numb, and they are burrowing into my body. I was so scared that I failed several times..."
"good!"
With a simple comment, Bei Gaoyang asked the third person to step forward.
"I feel similar to Wang Xiaonan..."
"Who is Wang Xiaonan?"
The third person quickly pointed at the little fat man who was retreating behind...
"From now on, you have no names, only numbers!" Bei Gaoyang said, "The number on the paper issued to you is not allowed to be called anyone's name in the future. Once you violate it, you will be punished!"
"I..." The third person opened his mouth to say something. Bei Gaoyang snapped his fingers, and there was a crisp sound of 'pop', and an electric light as thick as a hair struck his body, making him say 'Ah!'
He screamed and fell to the ground with convulsions all over his body.
There was a commotion among the apprentices, and they involuntarily stepped back several steps. Some were about to scream, while others looked towards the door, apparently trying to escape...
"This is one form of punishment!"
As he spoke, more electric lights appeared on the bodies of those who were screaming, running away, and acting arbitrarily. There were intermittent "pop" sounds and screams one after another.
All the doors and windows closed automatically after a clang, and Bei Gaoyang's figure in the shadow began to expand and elongate, like a ghost that suddenly appeared, and the huge shadow condescendingly enveloped the remaining apprentices.
Ding Jian was so frightened that it took him a while before he heard a thunderous voice saying, "Next...you, 014, come out!"
Poor Apprentice No. 014 did not remember his own number, so he received a lightning bolt. This was a girl, and her hair was blown open by the electricity.
"027 Departure!"
Ding Jian smelled the stench of incontinence and saw that the pants of the fat man standing in front of him were wet. He was extremely lucky that he was the first to be called, because he didn't remember what his number was.
…
After more than half an hour of tossing, out of 89 people, only 6 were still standing, and the others were lying on the ground with their bodies stretched out.
Screams, howls, protests, calls for help, calls for ghosts... all the sounds disappeared, and the room was completely silent. The people standing and lying on the ground held their breaths, watching the huge shadow shrink back to its normal size.
This is Bei Gaoyang's first lesson, letting them learn to be in awe.
They are different from players, players do not need to be in awe.
"From now on, forget your names, forget your past, forget the legal principles, morals, and ethics you are accustomed to. Here, in this building, there is only one rule, and that is me!"
"who I am?"
"I am your mentor and your master. From now on, you must do everything you can to please me, complete the homework I assign, and solve the tasks I give you... Until one day, you can rely on your own abilities to get out of the world.
here!"
"Now go back and rest. At 5 o'clock in the morning, I will give you another chance. If you still can't satisfy me, you will enjoy similar punishment every hour until you are satisfied with me!"
…
When the building was empty, Bei Gaoyang snapped his fingers and used the cleaning technique to clean up the filth left by the apprentices, opened the doors and windows for ventilation, and then sighed.
Pain can deepen a person's memory, and fear is the most primitive driving force. As for names and numbers... they have good intentions, but the apprentices will not be able to understand these for a long time.
He recalled that the first lesson he learned as an apprentice was to realize the importance of [real name].
Because in the rules of occultism, the more you identify with a symbol as your abbreviation, the more "pointing" meaning this symbol has to you, and the more dangerous it is.
After all, no one knows who will use it in what kind of rituals. Many spellcasters who are not careful enough will inexplicably add a debt contract or curse. The worst is that even their souls are sold.
