Chapter 241: Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol

It wasn't until Jie Ming began to seriously organize all the techniques he had mastered that he discovered a cruel reality—although the variety of techniques he possessed was vast and each could be considered top-tier, very few could be sold without reservation!

Either they involved his own most fundamental secrets, such as the Body Tempering Art or the Qi Refining Art, or they were strategic technologies like the "Black Giant" and the Rune Magic Treasures, which, once exposed, would be equivalent to laying his trump cards bare for others to see.

After careful consideration, Jie Ming decided that rather than selling finished techniques, it would be better to start from the fundamental "methods" and knowledge he had already mastered.

He would specifically adapt some auxiliary, general-purpose techniques suitable for the vast majority of wizards to use.

He fell into a moment of contemplation while facing the light screen.

His fingers swiped rapidly across the light screen, passing over one technique name after another.

Finally, Jie Ming's gaze slowly settled on the "Internal Circulation" method.

The complete "Internal Circulation" method—that is, the cultivation technique from the Immortal Cultivation system—certainly could not be handed over directly.

That would be pure suicide.

However, every method in the Immortal Cultivation system possessed its own unique insights and ideas worthy of reference.

After careful deliberation, Jie Ming concluded that the unique energy operation mode within the "Internal Circulation" method was most suitable as an entry point for this "technological monetization."

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated. He opened the massive design light screen, his hands dancing like phantoms across it, and threw himself wholeheartedly into this brand-new task.

A few months later.

Looking at the massive array projected onto an entire wall of his laboratory, Jie Ming couldn't help but reveal a look of self-satisfaction, despite being unable to hide his exhaustion.

"I really am... a genius!"

【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】

This was the name Jie Ming gave to this brand-new array.

Simple, direct, and perfectly in line with the Wizarding Civilization's technical naming conventions.

When the "Internal Circulation" method is in operation, besides refining energy to create a cave-heaven, it can also completely seal all of the user's energy within the body, maintaining an extremely stable state of self-circulation.

For an Immortal Cultivator, this is actually a relatively unimportant side effect.

But Jie Ming had once relied on this very side effect to step onto the path of wizardry.

Therefore, he had researched the 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 based on it.

Fortunately, thanks to the massive amount of precious experience he had accumulated while refining Rune Magic Treasures and modifying the Body Tempering Art, Jie Ming now had his own set of insights into how to simulate the trajectory of "spiritual power" using elements.

He quickly found the most suitable elemental rune structure.

With this, Jie Ming completely stripped away the "stable circulation" effect from the "Internal Circulation" method and designed its pure elemental version array.

The effect of this 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 array was also very similar to the effect of the "Internal Circulation" method when in operation.

It could completely seal all energy within the array, making it impossible for it to leak out.

Furthermore, it could maintain this sealed energy in an extremely stable state.

It might sound like nothing special.

After all, in the Wizarding World, there are many arrays capable of completely sealing energy, and many methods to maintain energy stability.

However, technologies capable of perfectly combining both are rare, and they are all expensive.

The main reason is that, to a certain extent, these two functional requirements are completely opposite, or even mutually conflicting.

Every type of energy has its own natural operational fluctuation.

So-called "energy stability" refers to allowing energy to continue running smoothly along its inherent fluctuations.

Once this fluctuation is disrupted by external forces, the energy itself falls into an "unstable" state.

And "strong isolation" technical means—whether they are energy shields or spatial barriers—create "boundaries" around an area that energy finds difficult to cross.

After energy hits this boundary, its original smooth operational fluctuation is naturally severely affected, becoming unstable.

Even those existing technologies capable of simultaneously maintaining "energy isolation" and "energy stability" are essentially like man-made "ecosystems," subject to extreme limitations.

Unless you can provide a sufficiently spacious "buffer zone" inside the isolated area, or the energy within the isolated area itself is relatively unique, this fragile "stable" system will easily collapse.

And the greatest differentiation between Jie Ming's 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 and other existing technologies lies right here.

Although, to adapt to the elemental environment of this world, it cannot achieve the near "semi-permanent" operational maintenance of the energy system within a small area like the "Internal Circulation" method of the Immortal Cultivation system, it is absolutely a leader among technologies of the same type in terms of isolating and stabilizing energy within a small-scale area!

After thinking for a moment, Jie Ming opened his personal Magic Network terminal.

After a complex authorization process, he found a specialized area belonging to a higher-level network: the "Tier 2 Cultivation Protocol."

Jie Ming intended to package his 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 and its related derivative technologies into "Intellectual Property" and upload it to the unified Magic Network under the "Star Ring Federation"—the higher-level wizarding power above the Plane Nuolun Workshop—for public sale.

As the higher-level wizarding power above the Plane Nuolun Workshop, the "Star Ring Federation" covers a much broader range, and naturally, it has a larger number of clients.

Moreover, all transactions on this platform use the more universal "Low-Level Military Merits."

Of course, correspondingly, the competition here is also more intense.

Items like refined gold have also been sold on this platform. But because there are too many products of the same type and the competition is too strong, their sales volume has always been negligible.

However, Jie Ming was confident in this new technology of his.

Although its performance certainly couldn't compare to high-end products of the same type, his technology won out in terms of lower difficulty and cheaper costs!

Therefore, it could focus on capturing the "downward market."

The efficiency of the Star Ring Federation was frighteningly fast.

It is said that the core database of the Star Ring Federation had long ago created a specialized "Runic Artificial Intelligence," which was permanently mounted on the Magic Network to handle information and transactions related to the platform.

Just like now, almost the moment Jie Ming submitted his technical data, the review process for the 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 was already passed!

However, what exceeded his expectations was that after the approval notification, he actually received a communication request from a "Star Ring Federation Staff Member."

It was truly a "Staff Member"!

Jie Ming felt somewhat speechless looking at the simple and crude 【Staff Member】 text on the communication request.

After hesitating, Jie Ming still connected the communication.

A slightly mechanical but clearly articulated male voice came from the communicator:

"Good day, Wizard Jie Ming Plane Nuolun. I am Felix."

Jie Ming felt a bit surprised upon hearing the name "Felix."

This name represented the very Artificial Intelligence that managed the entire regional Magic Network of the "Star Ring Federation"!

He didn't quite understand what such a "big shot" would want with a mere Tier 2 wizard like him.

After all, in terms of energy level, this Artificial Intelligence "Felix" could be viewed as a top-tier Tier 8.5 wizard!

Felix didn't waste words either, getting straight to the point:

"I hope to chat with you regarding the sales plan for the 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 technology."

"This... is there something wrong with it?" Jie Ming asked, puzzled.

Previously, the plans for selling intellectual property on the Magic Network were basically fixed.

That is, after the item is sold, the Magic Network platform would collect a 10% intermediary fee of the total sales.

However, the plan proposed by the Artificial Intelligence Felix was extremely tempting.

"I noticed the technology you submitted, and I hope you can lower its price to two hundred Low-Level Military Merits."

"In exchange, I can waive that 10% intermediary fee for you. Moreover, I will use my authority to help you conduct comprehensive promotion throughout the Federation's Magic Network."

Upon hearing this, Jie Ming calculated rapidly in his mind.

Although the price of two hundred military merits was only one-tenth of the initial price he had set, if there really were "official" promotion by an Artificial Intelligence like Felix, then the sales volume would increase by far more than ten times!

Not to mention the waiver of the intermediary fee; no matter how he looked at it, it was a profit!

Jie Ming was immediately tempted, but he still suppressed his excitement and asked, "May I ask why you are specifically looking for me?"

Felix explained patiently:

"It is because the technology you researched triggered our internal 'Civilization Advancement Basic Treaty'."

"That is: if a technology satisfies the majority of the sixteen clauses, such as 'low technical difficulty level,' 'significant auxiliary or enhancement effects on the current civilization's various fundamental technologies,' and 'low promotion costs,' then we will provide official support for it."

Jie Ming understood.

This 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】 technology was simply a divine artifact for alchemists, potion masters, or rune masters of his own level or lower!

It could significantly increase their success rate in manufacturing finished products, saving them massive amounts of costs and time.

Of course, slightly higher-level wizards had their own unique techniques to ensure success rates and wouldn't care for the auxiliary benefits provided by the 【Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol】.

However, if all low-level wizards in the Wizarding Civilization could significantly improve their success rates in manufacturing finished products through this technology, then from a macro perspective, it could indeed be said to push the underlying productivity of the entire Wizarding Civilization forward by a small step.

It was no wonder this Felix would demand such a significant reduction in his sales price.

In fact, his fundamental purpose was to promote this technology as effectively as possible in the shortest amount of time!

Jie Ming quickly understood these things, so he no longer hesitated and readily agreed to his request.

"I agree. Happy to cooperate, Your Excellency Felix."

"Happy to cooperate, Wizard Jie Ming."

(End of chapter)

Actually, his fundamental purpose was to be able to promote this technology better in the shortest possible time!

Jie Ming quickly figured out these things, so he didn't hesitate anymore and agreed to his request refreshingly.

"I agree. Happy cooperation, Lord Felix."

"Happy cooperation, Wizard Jie Ming."
