After all, from my perspective, magic arrays are strictly the result of accumulated knowledge, rather than a natural phenomenon like magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"However, with the correction talent present, the Witches might find it a bit easier to learn. At the very least, researching magic arrays has been quite easy for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judgment: \"Then, can you teach it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"Probably not. I'm not exactly the teaching type.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou naturally understood what Chu Yuan meant by that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Supreme Council currently had over a hundred Witches from the Witch Clan. If they could also learn how to draw magic arrays, it would be a massive power boost for the entire Supreme Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"However, my current magic array is still in the experimental phase. Once it succeeds, I'll probably write a thesis. When the time comes, you can take it and let them study it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lan Qingyou had no intention of teaching, writing a thesis for the Witches under his command to study perfectly achieved his original goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, upon seeing that this was something that could be learned, those with the ambition to study began buying up books on the three disciplines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were all foundational texts, they were quite easy to purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the world's will had only distributed a few hundred thousand copies, one could never underestimate humanity's ability to turn a profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As early as the end of the first Monthly Grading, people had begun collecting these books and notebooks, copying them down, and selling them for cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even sold them at exorbitant prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was safe to say they were making a fortune off of \"knowledge\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all these book copyists now belonged to a single organization—The Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on Lan Qingyou's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her explanation regarding the magic array, eating dinner, and ordering a late-night snack from Gu Xiaobei, she immediately dove straight into her excavation work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right. Even at night, Lan Qingyou no longer feared those monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her forty-odd golems deployed, no matter how many monsters came, they were simply throwing their lives away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this only applied to D-rank monsters. If a horde of high-rank monsters descended upon her all at once, she would not be able to hold them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, perhaps because the glowing projection of the magic array was so massive that it instilled a primal fear in the monsters, Lan Qingyou worked through half the night without suffering a single disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, after toiling day and night, she finally finished all the necessary digging four days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as someone in the regional channel had previously guessed, the diameter of the magic array that Lan Qingyou had been steadily drawing in the sky over the past few days was exactly one kilometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only a space of this magnitude was enough for her to work her magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to slack off even after finishing the excavation, Lan Qingyou directly brought over the one hundred tons of ore ingots and began smelting them using an Alchemy Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she did not go to The Chariot for materials, but planned to do it entirely by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not because she had too much free time, but because achieving the slightly crazy goal in her mind required a hands-on approach, allowing her to control every single detail right from the source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forged alloy steel plates infused with various minerals in strict proportions. These plates all shared one common trait—they were incredibly large and thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while they looked like long rectangles at a glance, every piece actually possessed a varying degree of curvature, or even right angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the front and back of each steel plate had interlocking grooves, allowing them to connect seamlessly with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right. These steel plates were all meant to be laid inside the trenches that Lan Qingyou had dug out using her Excavator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the complete diagram of the magic array, one hundred tons of ore ingots were definitely not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, didn't she have the wealthy suckers of the Supreme Council to lean on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from her weekly share, taking out a loan paid in magic potions was not a problem at all for Lan Qingyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, since she was currently conducting a magic array experiment, the Supreme Council raised no objections and directly allocated the funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending another two days refining and installing the steel plates, Lan Qingyou picked up her Crystal Pen and began drawing on the steel plates, \"connecting\" the Magic Circuit and Runes right from the water outlet of her Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this point, surely someone had already figured it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, what Lan Qingyou wanted to do was to \"expand\" her original Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she had always thought about building a brand-new Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not only was finding a location for a new build difficult, the energy consumption would naturally be astronomical since a new Magic Shield wouldn't be integrated hardware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returned that day and saw the ancient trees surrounding her Shelter, the idea struck her—why not use an external connection to link her Shelter and the magic array, forming a colossal Magic Shield?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the discipline of magic arrays included introductions and application methods for barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By sheer coincidence, the water outlet in the Shelter's medicinal field featured an inverted pattern, which differed from the vast majority of magical lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't that perfectly fulfill the two conditions needed for expansion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely why she had drawn such a magic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after designing it, she carved a miniature version of the magic array on an iron plate and tested it at the water outlet. Only upon discovering that it worked did she project a massive, spotlight-like blueprint of the magic array into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the base of the magic array was laid out, all that remained was carving the Magic Circuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few days left before the next Mana Tide, Lan Qingyou had more than enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was built on the premise of working relentless overtime without any extra pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, to Lan Qingyou, this was barely an inconvenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling all-nighters was already the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, since her Spirit had now exceeded a hundred points, there was absolutely no difference between sleeping and staying awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powering through for a few days straight would not cause any issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this could be counted as one of the benefits of her evolution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some kind of innate holy body specialized for overtime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou let out a soft chuckle as she continued her carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, she was thoroughly amused by her own dry humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day before the fourth Mana Tide was set to arrive, Lan Qingyou finally completed the engraving of the entire magic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"@Judgment, is the item I requested ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judgment: \"It's done. Just waiting for you to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"Send it over, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judgment: \"Are you almost finished on your end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"Yes, just a few finishing touches and I'll be done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judgment: \"Will it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"I'm not sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou replied and did not look at the chat again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason she said she wasn't sure was because the mass this time was simply too enormous. It was a completely different beast from her previous experiment using a small iron plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drawing and structural composition of the magic array were flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lan Qingyou worried about was whether the energy supply could sustain such a massive area and so many elemental symbols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly why she had ordered that particular item from Judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","70bc9e739f9577b747dd2baceb332d4055870f0e8f45feeead3e4b55ec2bb69d","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-197","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-195",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
