Chapter 559: New Wizarding Spell Design

Over ten days later.

Gao Jie Ming stood before the laboratory bench, which was piled high with recording crystals and data scrolls.

These were all the results produced by the special test group over the past ten days.

The wizards had recorded the results of attack tests using over ten thousand different materials and different wizarding spells, all of which were now on file.

Looking at the results recorded in these data materials, Gao Jie Ming couldn't help but curl his lips; he could almost be certain that his original idea was correct.

The Magic Net terminal suddenly lit up.

【Summoned by Lord Ma Ding】

Gao Jie Ming raised his eyebrows, put away the things at hand, and turned to leave the laboratory.

It was still that core camp, still those three security checks, and still that massive fortress with expanded space.

But this time, the atmosphere in the command room was significantly more relaxed.

Ma Ding was still sitting in the main seat; seeing Gao Jie Ming enter, he rarely showed a hint of a smile.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's start this meeting. I presume you have already guessed; that's right, the results of the experiment are out."

He raised his hand and waved, and dense data projections unfolded in the air.

"Over ten thousand different information-type materials, tested one by one." Ma Ding's voice carried a hint of appreciation, "In the end, it can be confirmed that Gao Jie Ming, your initial theory is completely correct."

Gao Jie Ming's spirit lifted, and his gaze swept over the data.

All test results pointed to the same conclusion—those information organisms extremely worship logic and regularity.

Any information with a clear structure, rigorous logic, and compliance with regularity is "friendly" to them.

And that chaotic, disordered, and random information will trigger intense repulsion.

"So what they worship is..." Gao Jie Ming looked at the data, and a term couldn't help but appear in his mind, "Entropy reduction?"

"Correct."

Ma Ding nodded: "This is our conclusion: entropy reduction. Moving from chaos to order, from disorder to regularity. This is not only their preference, but it is more like the foundation of their existence."

"The reason these information organisms can mobilize the underlying information of things to change them is essentially because they are specific organisms produced in an environment of extreme entropy reduction. Therefore, an environment of extreme order is as necessary to them as oxygen is to ordinary humans." He paused and added: "According to the test results, the more chaotic the information, the more they hate it. Conversely, if an entropy reduction state can be maintained, even if there are intruders, they won't care."

Gao Jie Ming understood.

This explains why those information organisms usually "turn a blind eye" to intruders.

As long as your information structure is sufficiently orderly, to them, you are "the same kind," or at least "harmless."

And once combat begins, or the time spent in the plane is too long, causing too much dissipated information, and the information becomes chaotic, they will immediately lock onto you.

"This race has great potential."

"Heart of Ash" Ma Ding suddenly said, his tone carrying obvious appreciation.

Hearing this, all the wizards present looked at this commander.

"I intend to incorporate them."

Gao Jie Ming and the other high-tier wizards were slightly startled, then reacted.

This plane war was initiated by Ma Ding in the first place.

As a Tier 8 wizard, he discovered this special plane, so naturally, he has the qualification to make it his own.

And the unique traits of these information organisms—talent at the information level, near-immortal characteristics, and extreme pursuit of order—are indeed worthy of this high-tier wizard's interest.

Not to mention other traits of these information organisms that haven't been discovered yet, just the existing traits, even if only used as a data processing center, the future benefits generated would be enough to make many high-tier wizards covet them.

"But there is a problem." Ma Ding changed the subject and looked at Gao Jie Ming, "We still have no way to truly 'solve' them."

Gao Jie Ming understood what he meant.

To incorporate a race, you must either be able to beat them into submission or be able to give them what they want.

The problem now is that you can't beat them to death, and you don't know what to give them—after all, their need for order is innate and doesn't require outsiders to provide it.

Without leverage, incorporation is out of the question.

"Therefore." Ma Ding raised his hand and tapped on the Magic Net terminal, "From now on, I will issue a mission to all Expeditionary Force wizards." Gao Jie Ming looked down at his Magic Net terminal, and a new message popped up on the light screen.

【Expeditionary Force Command Mission】

【Mission Content: Find a method to cause effective damage to information plane organisms, or any means helpful for incorporating the organisms of this plane】 【Mission Reward: Depending on the value of the results, reward 100,000 to 1,000,000 high-tier military merits】

【Deadline: None】

"Effective damage..." Gao Jie Ming muttered, repeating it.

As long as you can break their near-immortal state and make them realize the feeling of "being threatened," you have bargaining chips for negotiations. But whether it is an effective damage method or a means to assist in subjugation, it is actually not simple.

Because even after so many rounds of testing, no true death of those information organisms has been discovered to this day.

Although these organisms react intensely when facing overly chaotic information, it only stops at that intense reaction.

When necessary, they can commit suicide at any time and let their information reshape in another location; there is no possibility of killing them at all. "The imaginary material you used before had a good effect." Ma Ding looked at Gao Jie Ming, "If you can develop similar means, or find a more stable method, the highest reward for this mission will be yours."

Gao Jie Ming had to admit that he was indeed tempted.

One million high-tier military merits... this is not a small amount.

"I will do my best." He nodded solemnly.

Soon the meeting ended, and leaving the command headquarters, Gao Jie Ming walked quickly back to his laboratory.

Closing the door, he stood before the laboratory bench, looking at the mountain of data, his eyes gleaming with thought.

Actually, regarding how to "truly" kill information organisms, he already had certain ideas.

"With a clear conclusion, my modification spells have a direction."

Gao Jie Ming swept his hand in the air, and two spell models unfolded simultaneously: the Causality Retro-Shadow Art and the spell model of the Grand Void Step.

The Causality Retro-Shadow Art had always failed before, but now Gao Jie Ming knew the reason.

The essence of this spell is "tracing causality through existing information," and its operation process itself is logical and orderly. The reason those information organisms can resist is that they maintain a high degree of "order" at the information level, leaving the spell with no way to start. But what if you abandon the strengths of this part and turn to seek another aspect of information manipulation?

Focusing attention on the information manipulation part of the Causality Retro-Shadow Art, and strengthening the ability for information collection and information shielding as much as possible... Gao Jie Ming's fingers tapped and drew rapidly on the model, beginning to deduce a new rune structure.

As for the missing parts of these spells, they naturally rely on the Grand Void Step to be supplemented.

After all, the essence of the Grand Void Step is to "virtualize the physical body and resonate at the same frequency as the environment," and the environment of the information plane itself is highly ordered. Furthermore, one can simulate the environment and resonate at the same frequency; naturally, one can also operate in reverse, allowing oneself to simulate a trace of "chaotic fluctuation" to achieve one's desired goal.

So, strictly speaking, this is actually equivalent to Gao Jie Ming needing to create a new wizarding spell.

Relying on the vast amount of data provided by the wizards' experiments during this period, Gao Jie Ming can completely complete the modification of this new spell.

But the most critical part is still the "weapon" in this spell model framework specifically aimed at information-based living beings.

He needs a kind of "information toxin" that can inject chaos and destroy the state of entropy reduction.

"The problem is..."

Gao Jie Ming stopped the movements in his hands and frowned.

He really does not have many chaotic materials left on hand.

Although he took all his inventory with him before leaving, it had only been accumulated for a hundred years, and the actual quantity of incense poison was not that large. What's more, a portion was used up in the tests over the past ten days or so, and there is very little left.

If he wants this spell to be promoted, he must choose information that can also be reproduced.

Gao Jie Ming began to think about the various experimental data he had seen before: "From the data, if one really wants to achieve the goal of killing, the pure degree of chaos actually does not need to be too high, as long as it exceeds a certain threshold. Then the most important thing is the completeness and accessibility of this information data..." A figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

He raised his hand to tap on the magic network terminal and sent a message.

【Senior Sister, are you free? I want to make a deal with you.】

A moment later, a reply popped up.

【A rare guest, indeed.】

The corners of Gao Jie Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and he directly initiated a voice call.

A few seconds later, the other side connected.

A female voice, lazy yet tinged with a hint of playfulness, came through: "Little Junior Brother, you finally remembered me, your Senior Sister?"

It was none other than Wei Wei Aola.

"Senior Sister is joking." Gao Jie Ming leaned back in his chair, "I have a deal, I wonder if you are interested."

"A deal?" Wei Wei Aola's laughter came through the magic network, "That really brings back memories. Tell me about it."

"I need some special data." Gao Jie Ming weighed his words, "Various information generated by living beings in a state of pain—emotional fluctuations, mental disorders, consciousness confusion, and the like."

The other side was silent for a few seconds.

"What do you want this for?"

"Research." Gao Jie Ming answered simply, "I am dealing with a troublesome plane and need a large sample of chaotic-attribute information. Didn't you make a series of pain potions before? You should have quite a bit of data in this regard on hand."

Wei Wei Aola did not deny it.

A moment later, she chuckled: "I do indeed. And I have exclusive pain data; the degree of chaos is much higher than ordinary data." Gao Jie Ming's eyes lit up.

"Name your price."

"Military merits." Wei Wei Aola did not hesitate, "I don't want low-level military merits. One million high-level military merits—in exchange for all the relevant materials and samples in my hands."

Gao Jie Ming's mouth twitched.

One million high-level military merits... This woman really dares to ask.

"Fifty thousand." He countered.

"Are you kidding? There's no one who haggles like you. Eight hundred thousand!"

"Fifty thousand, no more."

Wei Wei Aola sighed: "Little Junior Brother, you're being boring... Let's say one hundred thousand, and I'll include a copy of my core research data. You definitely won't lose out..."

"Why would I want your core research data..." Gao Jie Ming said this, but after thinking about it, he agreed, "Fine... okay." "When do we trade?"

"Now."

"Straightforward." Wei Wei Aola chuckled, "I'll send the data to you right away. Don't worry, you definitely won't lose out."

The call ended.

A few seconds later, Gao Jie Ming's magic network terminal flickered frantically; that was a massive amount of data being transmitted over.

He opened it and scanned it roughly, a smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.

Detailed records of emotional fluctuations and mental disorders generated in a state of pain, hierarchical classifications of consciousness confusion, chaotic psychological data of various special pains generated under different circumstances...

It is enough.
