What does that mean? Didn’t you just say the basic skill is Movement and Stillness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, that’s just what players called it—they thought the original name lacked flair.” The research fanatic didn’t dare admit he’d coined it himself, and immediately got to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The four basic skills are Movement, Transformation, Fixation, and Screening. By consciously performing these four manipulations, you can create different spells. When I built the Thirty-Three Rites single-chip, I chose Screening as the first rite to easily locate nodes—just input the required command, and you find the rite’s starting point, then channel Qi from there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds a bit like programming. So when I fed it current, it default-triggered the Screening module, causing it to filter energy in the environment? Then what’s your second rite?” Professor Wang pulled out a small notebook and began jotting notes. The research fanatic, though momentarily baffled, thought for a moment and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The second should be Transfer, the third Transformation, the fourth Fixation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fascinating. Literally speaking, it seems to spontaneously screen out other forms of electricity—maybe static, or something else—find it from elsewhere, use Transfer to gather it, transform it into a unified form, then fix it onto the circuit board? Sounds more plausible than those fake devices that make electric meters spin backward, but where does the ‘force’ pulling in the electricity come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Wang pulled out the structural design he’d made for the research fanatic, trying to find a rational explanation. The only energy input was low-voltage current—meaning this system was a snowball effect, capturing more current from the current itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this raised an even more troubling problem—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How exactly did it achieve the snowball effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Circuits are designed precisely because the system is “unidirectional”—current flows from input to output without reversing. But that’s precisely where this system’s problem lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it truly operated as a snowball mechanism, then subsequent incoming power would have to continuously feed into the cycle, violating the unidirectional flow principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet if it were caused by a later mechanism, it still couldn’t explain the meter-spinning phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research fanatic had clearly never considered this before, but hearing Professor Wang’s question, he slowly realized the flaw in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man and the young man stared blankly at the circuit diagram for a long while, until finally Professor Wang sighed: “We’ll need to see the original version to understand what’s really going on. Let me use your game account—I’ll log in and investigate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, uh, that’s not possible—this game is identity-bound, can’t be shared!” The research fanatic said helplessly. After thinking, Professor Wang could only shake his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll just buy my own. How long does leveling take in this game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It definitely takes time, but if you’re just testing spells, just create an account—I’ll take you straight to Seclusion Village. Though if your level’s too low and stats don’t meet requirements, cultivation will be painfully slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research fanatic wasn’t surprised the old professor wanted to play—he was now consumed entirely by the ball that had appeared in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If spell rites were real, then was cultivation real too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the cultivation techniques in the library also be practiced in the real world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the idea seemed absurd, the research fanatic had read novels about games invading reality, the Fourth Catastrophe, and more. What if the game world was actually real? Could he, could he learn true cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, the research fanatic couldn’t wait to log in and screenshot every cultivation technique. Meanwhile, Professor Wang had already picked up the phone and told his graduate student to buy him a helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, give me your game ID. I’ll message you once I log in.” Professor Wang said, tidying up the lab. The research fanatic, slightly embarrassed, gave his ID. Professor Wang didn’t comment—just nodded, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is complicated. I need to decide whether to report it first or draft a preliminary finding… By the way, how many players are there? How many know about this… uh, rite?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are definitely hundreds of thousands of players, with tens of thousands daily active, but Seclusion Village has few—maybe a hundred or so?” The research fanatic, too, now realized the complications, though his mind was still mostly fixated on the fantasy of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the number, Professor Wang could only shake his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With so many players and an online game, it’s impossible to suppress the news. Official oversight would be a nightmare. Still, I’ll draft a report first… Oh, remember to log in and take me to Seclusion Village!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Didn’t you say you’d file a report?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research fanatic was confused. Professor Wang sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reporting has procedures. If I don’t go see it myself, how do I know how serious this is? Should I just say I discovered a perpetual motion machine? Do you know how many letters from amateurs claiming to have found perpetual motion arrive at the Academy’s mailbox every day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, right!” The research fanatic realized he’d clearly lost his mind from that “eating shrimp” spell. He immediately bid farewell to Professor Wang and ran off to log in…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maniac? You finally logged in? We thought you’d quit in disgust!” As soon as the research fanatic appeared, Dragon Warrior rushed over, but the research fanatic had no interest in him—he just waved him off:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, I just got a new inspiration—I’m heading to the library!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“New inspiration?!” Dragon Warrior’s eyes lit up instantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go go go! If you make a powerful spell, share it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I succeed.” The research fanatic replied vaguely, then activated Instant Step and dashed into the library, heading straight for the corner bookshelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the player who’d spent the most time in Seclusion Village’s library, he didn’t remember every book’s location, but he had a general sense of where different types were stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly pulled out the “Introduction to Cultivation” textbook, scanned its summaries on breathing techniques, meditation, and stillness, then activated screenshot mode—click, click, click—he began snapping photos…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-20T04:32:50.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5b2508286459fbb1e4399978c1ec7bb4b6d2e96af3fd4df2e8c95b3ba5330577","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-292","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-290",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
