There were eight inexplicable symbols printed on A4 paper on the wall. A senior girl looked at the symbols for a long time, shook her head and said in confusion: "Didn't you say we were going to make a game? What's the use of identifying this thing?"
Ouyang Junzheng came back with dinner and replied as soon as he entered the room: "It doesn't matter, as long as someone pays us to work. Two thousand dollars a week, freedom to come and go, easy work, wouldn't you like it? By the way,
Xiao Ai, are you free tonight?"
There are five or six computer desks in the narrow living room, making it difficult for people to get in and out. The room was cleaned half a month ago, and it looks smoky again. Fortunately, there are hourly workers who come to clean it every two days, so there is no mountain of garbage.
Ouyang Jun was hired by "Qingfeng Industrial" and affiliated his studio with the company. He recruited his juniors who stayed in school to teach in outsourcing, and also fooled a few senior graduates who had not yet found jobs, thus building up a team.
.
The current level of the studio is still low. Neither Ouyang Jun nor other graduates have experience in making large-scale simulation software. They rely on open source software on the Internet to make modifications and do image recognition and processing.
But it was a huge achievement to get the 'Source Talisman' in half a month. Zhou Qingfeng excitedly rewarded each person in the team with 10,000 yuan, plus the supply of the super functional drink 'Juniu'. The name of this drink has been criticized countless times, and the effect has been scolded.
Countless times.
Getting the 'Source Symbol' is just the first step in an arduous task. The 'Source Symbol' itself has no effect. It is like a 'NAND gate' in a circuit, and cannot work alone.
But the 'source symbols' are meaningful when combined into rune groups. When dozens of rune groups are combined, they can produce specific functions. The research to be done now is what kind of rune groups have what functions, and find out which
law.
In other worlds, finding useful combinations of 'source symbols' is accomplished by natural evolution. Countless creatures have been constantly verified over hundreds of millions of years, and the fittest survive.
The set of runes naturally carried by different magical creatures have been collected by wizards of all ages. The 'Gate of True Knowledge' contains countless original data, which has become a huge amount of data for Ouyang Jun to analyze and process.
Owning the 'Source Talisman' is equivalent to owning a key, but no one in Zhou Qingfeng, Professor Zheng, or Ouyang Jun's team has any experience in how to open the door of magic.
Everyone can only speculate blindly, looking through the information in the 'Gate of True Knowledge' one by one, and looking for patterns. The workload here is quite large.
Zhou Qingfeng is easy to talk about. Whether he understands it or not, he has a large number of ready-made rune sets that need to be verified. Ouyang Jun is depressed. They play with some abstract symbols and arrange and combine them all day long, but they have no idea what they are doing?
This work is destined to be baffling.
In the underground laboratory of the Niutoushan garbage dump, Sophia controlled the hidden servant and projected a data packet that had just been transmitted on the wall. "This is the analysis report of Ouyang Jun's team on the reconstruction of the 'source talisman' of ancient evil texts."
Corresponding to the confirmed rune groups, more than 200 of the original 724 rune groups were deleted during the reconstruction, 408 were streamlined, 30 were strengthened, and six more were added.
A set of runes never discovered before."
Everyone in the laboratory and one ghost immediately focused on the projection. Professor Zheng murmured excitedly: "This is the first step in the long march of thousands of miles. These are the basic rune groups. It is an area that ordinary people cannot pry into and can only be understood by gods."
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "No, the gods of Faerun do not control them. This is our domain."
As the earliest primitive arcane language, the ancient evil script is very simple. It originally had only 724 "characters", or rune groups. Now after reconstruction, there are only about 500 basic rune groups left.
Pictures of rune groups flashed on the projection. Every time Zhou Qingfeng looked at one, Sophia would reflect the corresponding information into his mind. He would identify these rune groups and wait until all the more than 500 rune groups were completed.
Remember, sudden change...
The perfect body is a reward from the elf goddess Angelis. It is a self-optimization of Zhou Qingfeng's original body, which itself is the ultimate embodiment of magic and arcana.
When a better set of runes is identified, unknown natural laws begin to operate, and the optimized new runes automatically replace the old runes with corresponding functions. Zhou Qingfeng's body seems to be dissolved, slowly floating up and gradually spreading out.
Every piece of skin, every muscle, every bone, and even every cell has been restructured. Zhou Qingfeng's body is like a huge number of runes being spliced together. His consciousness is clear, but he can't move at all. He can only be surprised.
Waiting.
Maybe a day, a month, a year, or endless time has passed. But in the eyes of Professor Zheng who was watching, Zhou Qingfeng's change was just a blink of an eye. This guy's body suddenly spread, and then quickly converged.
Upgraded!
This is the natural force's reward for Zhou Qingfeng's new discovery.
The level of the tyrant changed from 'six' to 'seven', and his wisdom was raised by two points, reaching thirteen. The level of the alchemist changed from 'one' to 'three', rising two levels in a row. He finally got rid of the lower level of magic.
Unexpectedly, the pair of 'Boots of Speed' disappeared, and the magical properties in the boots were assimilated with Zhou Qingfeng. 'Extreme Speed Explosion' became his independent ability, which was included in 'War Trample', and his combat power increased by 50%.
Lasts five seconds.
The substantial increase in level brings about changes in strength, and also brings about some kind of "qualitative" change. Zhou Qingfeng originally needed to prepare in advance to cast spells, which was a wizard's shortcoming.
But with a more accurate and efficient set of basic runes, Zhou Qingfeng turned from a 'wizard' to a 'warlock'. He was truly like a magical creature that could draw magic power from his body or magic net and cast spells independently without any preparation.
With a gentle wave, a string of arcane runes shining with blue light flew out from Zhou Qingfeng's palm, hitting the ice-armored target at the other end of the laboratory with a sharp and loud sound.
The first-level arcane sonic spear is a technique with extremely strong penetrating effect. Zhou Qingfeng has been practicing it recently, but the effect this time is very different.
Professor Zheng floated over to inspect the target. The thick layer of ice outside the target was basically intact, but the rubber dummy behind the target was hit hard.
"Huh... I seem to have read about this phenomenon in some book about arcane spellcasting techniques." Professor Zheng thought for a while and uttered one word, "The spell is extremely effective. This is the top level."
Super magic skills. How did you master them?"
"I don't know." Zhou Qingfeng slowly retracted his hand, "I don't understand either. It seems like I was born with it. Anyway, I have mastered it. My spell slots have also doubled, and I can cast two second-level arcane spells and four first-level arcane spells.
Eight tricks."
After an arcane spell is cast, its effect will fluctuate randomly within a certain range. For example, 'Sonic Spear', assuming the damage it causes is between 1 and 3, with the spell's maximum effect technique, the damage will be locked to 3
.
This is the ability that countless arcanists dream of. Only legendary wizards are qualified to learn it, but they may not be able to learn it - Uncle Zhou is self-taught. His "I am also very strange" expression makes Mr. Zheng feel very
Not flat.
There is something even more amazing...
Zhou Qingfeng was staring at his hands when a delicate call for 'Brother Victor' suddenly came from behind him. He didn't pay attention to the first call. He waited until he heard a few more calls before turning his head -
A little girl is floating somewhere.
Double ponytails, a black skirt, white stockings, and a pair of red leather shoes... Isn't this Sophia? The little girl is bound to the information network. The two are integrated. She should be in Zhou Qingfeng's mind.
.
Sophia was also frightened. She cried loudly and threw herself into Zhou Qingfeng's arms. Zhou Qingfeng reached out to hug her, but the little girl got directly into him and retreated into her mind. But after coming over for a while, she herself
Floated out again and looked left and right.
"Brother Victor, is this your world? I seem to be able to exist independently."
After all, Sophia has a childish temperament and her curiosity trumps everything else, so she floats around in the laboratory. But she is not a ghost. She cannot penetrate anything except entering Zhou Qingfeng's body.
"Wow... that's so fun!" After floating for a while, Sophia sat in front of a monitor. She originally had to rely on a hidden servant to control the computer, but now she just stretched out her hand without making any movements, and the keyboard started to move quickly.
Key move.
A series of irregular letters and numbers appeared on the monitor screen. But soon..., the random keystrokes stopped, Sophia's eyes were fixed on the keyboard, and her little body seemed to be sucked in.
After a while, Zhou Qingfeng felt that the information network was actively connected to him. Sophia shouted happily: "Brother, I seem to have entered your computer. You are watching 404 movies online again. I want to tell sister Inisa."
