This feels even more complicated.” Professor Wang frowned as he watched the research maniac pull out a new circuit board after burning through two others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The version you had before was full of redundancy. In the game, casting a spell normally requires only four modules; the thirty-three exist mainly to accommodate different combinations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research maniac’s fingertip crept slowly along the circuit, like navigating a maze, checking for any missed critical points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Wang shook his head upon hearing this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can see that. What I mean is, this board you’ve made now isn’t a simplified four-module design either. Even though the main module is still recognizable and the other three can be identified, what are these extra ones for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are for fine-tuned control. In the game, when activating a skill, we use consciousness to guide the flow of Qi. The more complex the ritual, the less conscious guidance is needed. Since we can’t yet build software to replace consciousness, we have to test with pre-made rituals first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research maniac spoke vaguely; Professor Wang understood even less. But he was a practical man—if something truly beyond his comprehension was happening, he’d follow Xiao Yang’s lead. If it failed, he’d consider other options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Professor Wang didn’t know that the research maniac was even more bewildered than he was—not because he didn’t understand, but because things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, he had already used programming principles to compile the basic ritual [Filter] into a spell—and succeeded. But when he’d used the same method to edit software before, writing it in had burned out the circuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d wondered if it was because electricity and Qi were different, yet even simple power flow had caused the entire system’s ammeter to reverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a professional, Professor Wang’s hands were truly skilled. In just a few minutes, he pulled a new substrate out of acid solution, brushed off the carbon powder protecting the active areas, compared it to the design schematic, confirmed the circuit was intact, then carried the small board back to the lab bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the research maniac immediately moved to help, but Professor Wang shot him a glare:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgot the safety protocol?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!” The research maniac suddenly remembered—he wasn’t casting spells in a game. His face paled. He quickly followed procedure to eliminate hazards, grabbed the fire extinguisher and set it aside, then only began powering the circuit board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 3.3V current surged into the circuit board—but nothing happened…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, something changed!” Professor Wang held his measuring device, moving it back and forth near the output port. When pressed against the port, the reading was normal—but once pulled away, the numbers began fluctuating erratically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really works?” Though he saw no visible effect, the erratic readings made the research maniac’s face light up with excitement. Professor Wang, however, shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get excited. It could just be an unstable electric field. I’m going to increase the voltage—step back a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” The research maniac obediently stepped back two paces, grabbing the fire extinguisher. Professor Wang was pleased with his reaction, pressed the power switch, and let 5V flow in. After confirming no danger, he raised it to 9V. At that exact moment, a faint blue glow suddenly lit up at the output terminal. Like static electricity, the current expanded in an unscientific way into a fist-sized orb of light, with faint arcs spinning rapidly inside, even producing a crackling sound of static friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is that? You’re not telling me that’s ball lightning?” Professor Wang leapt back two steps. Though ball lightning had long been reported and some scientists believed it possible, there was still no solid, reliable evidence—and its mechanism remained hotly debated. Regardless, it was undeniably dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, it’s actually a skill players DIY’d from a manga.” The research maniac was stunned that they’d actually created a Rasengan, but under the professor’s parental authority, he answered obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manga? Don’t tell me this is the Rasengan!” Professor Wang tilted his head slightly—then saw the research maniac staring at him in shock. He was momentarily speechless:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at? I was young too, you know? You kids watch Naruto. We watched his grandpa, Naruto!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m just shocked this actually worked.” The research maniac wanted to retort that the professor was just being defensive, but Professor Wang clearly wouldn’t give him the chance—he only frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing’s too dangerous. Not practical to test its power in the lab. Do you have something simpler, weaker, less dangerous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Professor! Yes!” The first thing that popped into the research maniac’s mind was “Eat Shrimp” from Guan’er—but considering it required a change in substance, it seemed too absurd. After thinking, he decided to return to basics and pulled out the ritual for [Armament Aura].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, you kids really know how to get creative. By the way, what’s the name of that game? I’ll try playing it later.” Professor Wang asked casually as he worked on the circuit board. The research maniac immediately named “Hero vs. Demon King,” then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The new version is a xianxia version. A xianxia NPC appeared, and to fight the new version’s boss, he summoned us to a hidden map to learn skills—mainly the four foundational techniques of the Static-Dynamic School. By combining these four techniques and driving them with subjective consciousness, you can compile Qi into all kinds of spells… yeah, kind of like an ancient game called Notia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Now I get it! You mean a magic wand! Interesting—this is fascinating. But why does it work?” Professor Wang clearly knew of Notia’s reputation and immediately understood. The research maniac could only shake his head. The old professor didn’t expect an answer—he just said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget the spells for now—why is the ammeter reversing? Where’s the extra energy coming from? Can your foundational technique theory explain it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Professor Wang’s question, the research maniac furrowed his brow tightly. After a moment, he hesitated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe… because the first one was the [Filter] ritual?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-20T04:32:50.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","19e5d78b249f0a6e6c1a4f9373272a6362ce9ad9d616022e45d319cb53995890","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-291","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-289",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
