291. Chapter 291: Frequent Accidents

The second extracurricular practice ended in laughter.

Similar to Lin Ke completing the fire-attribute foundation concept of the "Small World" and casually taking a giant fire salamander, Mo Li also took some good things from that planet completely covered by water.

After all, she had worked hard; she couldn't return empty-handed, right?

Lin Ke didn't ask about Mo Li's specific gains in detail, only knowing that Mo Li's strength had been improved to a certain extent, and that was enough.

The two returned to the villa and didn't think much about matters related to the extracurricular practice.

In itself, extracurricular practice was just a small test used by the Academy to assess the knowledge and wizardry learned by advanced wizards.

Its nature was no different from weekly exams, monthly exams, or mid-term/final exams.

Once the exam was over, it was over; there was nothing worth remembering.

Having experienced a toss and turn, both of them had some physical and psychological fatigue.

After dining, chatting, and drinking tea, they returned to their rooms to wash up, meditate, and rest.

The next day.

Both of them still got up early as usual.

Even though the Academy thoughtfully gave all advanced wizards a day off.

Together with the weekend, there were a total of three days that could be freely disposed of, without having to attend class, and resting with peace of mind.

However...

Rest?

What is rest?

As long as a person doesn't die, learning never stops!

Mo Li indicated that she didn't need rest and plunged headfirst into her own laboratory, busy with her research and experiments.

Riverside Academy initially only cultivated elemental wizards with a bias toward biology and medicine, and later took into account combat and war.

Developing and growing to a certain extent, out of various considerations, the Academy included the True Spirit Wizard cultivation system starting from the advanced Academy deep-study stage, and encouraged some people with talent to switch to Intellectual Machine Wizardry.

In addition, through various channels, it collected knowledge and wizardry related to body-refining wizards for those who were interested in switching to learn.

Thereby making the wizards cultivated by the Academy not monotonous or limited;

Making the Academy's legions configured perfectly and their combat power improved.

Only in the area of Beast-Taming Wizards was the Academy's knowledge reserve seriously insufficient, with only part of the content below the Sage level.

Although these contents were not incomplete to the point of being full of errors, they were far from being complete and simply did not form a system.

If Mo Li wanted to walk well and far on this path of Beast-Taming Wizardry, besides collecting and purchasing related materials and literature, she had to rely more on her own research and experiments.

Not to mention the Academy and others, even if Lin Ke wanted to provide help, he couldn't get a hand in.

The professional span was truly too large, and there were deep knowledge barriers.

Fortunately, the Academy's knowledge reserve in the biological field was extremely rich.

Although most of it couldn't be directly used in the beast-taming field, once there was a foundation, it could be better extended.

Mo Li conducting research and experiments herself wouldn't be without reference.

As for Lin Ke, he hadn't paid attention to the "Construct" project for more than a week.

Today, having time, he naturally had to go to the Fairy World, understand the progress, and fulfill his duties.

In the name of Sage Celine's Pharmacy Research Group, he submitted an application to the Academy to use the cross-boundary portal.

After receiving permission, Lin Ke arrived at the Fairy World through regular channels and found the "Construct" project team composed of the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department.

It was truly a coincidence; Sage Paro and Sage Celine were also here, about to accept the results of the first phase.

Lin Ke hadn't communicated with Sage Celine beforehand and truly didn't know she would come today!

Or rather, he didn't know that Sage Paro would invite Sage Celine today, in the name of accepting the results of the first phase, to pull their relationship closer.

"You came just in time."

Seeing Lin Ke walk over, Sage Paro immediately beckoned, "Come over and analyze the data, and see if it has reached your expectations."

Lin Ke walked over, first politely greeting Sage Celine and Sage Paro, and nodding to Wizard Salosaer and Mofei who were accompanying them, before cutting into the main business.

On the huge screen of the "Construct" project team's office smart brain, various data reports and many test/comparison videos were neatly listed.

Temporarily not looking at the nearly 6,000 videos, Lin Ke clicked open all the data reports in turn and spent more than half an hour reading them very carefully.

During this period, Sage Paro enthusiastically entertained Sage Celine with tea and conversation, chatting about the past, trying to awaken Sage Celine's emotions.

Wizard Salosaer and Mofei didn't dare to sway in front of Sage Paro at this time; even if they were bored, they accompanied Lin Ke to check the data throughout.

After browsing all the data reports, Lin Ke selected a few dozen videos that were relatively representative from the nearly 6,000 videos, brushed through them roughly, and made a comparison with his own preliminary judgment.

"How is the result? Are you satisfied?"

Seeing Lin Ke stop his operations, no longer continuing to look at reports and videos, and not deep in thought, Mofei immediately asked.

He appeared even more active than Wizard Salosaer.

Wizard Salosaer glared at Mofei, feeling somewhat unhappy.

Clearly, the Medical Department was the absolute main force of the "Construct" project; why did Mofei always steal the show?

Is there any reason for you to snatch the words like this?

Truly not looking like a shape!

Mofei ignored the resentful Wizard Salosaer and stared tightly at Lin Ke, expecting an answer.

"Very good, even exceeding my expectations, much better than the expected result!"

Lin Ke didn't sell out, directly stating the conclusion in his heart,

"Analyzing from various data, the comprehensive improvement range of combat power is 269.78%; this range can be said to be quite astonishing.

Level 1 extraordinary fairies, after being implanted with the 'Savage Strike' set, can completely rival Level 2 extraordinary fairies who haven't accepted the 'Sublimation,' 'Empowerment,' and 'Construct' projects.

This is still the result of one-on-one.

If it were large-scale combat, group charges, the performance should be even more dazzling."

"You think so too, then that's settled!"

Mofei let out a long sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Wizard Salosaer felt that something was very wrong.

Clearly, the Medical Department was the absolute main force of the "Construct" project; why did Mofei always steal the show?

No, he must criticize this unhealthy trend.

With a roll of his eyes, Wizard Salosaer smiled:

"Actually, our Medical Department had already made a judgment similar to yours, just considering that you are the founder of the 'Construct' technology, the chief designer and special consultant of the 'Construct' project, we were waiting for you to make a final ruling.

Now that you have also affirmed our Medical Department's judgment, in my opinion, it is time to consider the start time of the second phase."

This sentence sounded like self-praise, but in fact, it didn't contain any content of boasting about the Medical Department; it was all solid words.

Just analyzing data, basic skills among basic skills, which wizard above formal level wouldn't?

Not to mention there were two Sages present.

The reason Sage Paro wanted Lin Ke to analyze the data and judge whether it had reached his expectations was not because Lin Ke's ability to analyze data was strong.

The reasons were two points:

One was wanting to take the opportunity to extend the time Sage Celine stayed in the Fairy World to get closer;

The second was also because of Lin Ke's identity as the founder and chief designer, who knew the "Construct" technology best.

"Great minds think alike."

Lin Ke smiled upon hearing this, not minding praising the Medical Department, which rarely didn't drop the ball.

Mofei pretended not to hear that Lin Ke's "great minds" referred to the pharmacists of the Medical Department, and immediately took the conversation: "That's right, my Pharmacy Department contributed a lot this time..."

But before Mofei could finish his self-praise, Sage Celine walked over, interrupted Mofei, and asked Lin Ke softly: "Regarding the second phase plan, when do you think it would be more appropriate to start?"

Sage Paro also walked to Sage Celine's side, quietly looking at Lin Ke, waiting for an answer.

Lin Ke pondered for a moment and replied:

"I think there is no need to rush the start of the second phase.

Although these data were obtained through detailed testing and comparison, the 'Construct' fairies have not undergone actual combat testing after all.

I think it would be more appropriate to find an opportunity to fight a few small-scale or medium-scale battles, test the actual combat power, and then advance the second phase.

At that time, we can also make improvements or optimizations based on the performance in actual combat."

Sage Celine didn't express an opinion on Lin Ke's thoughts, just looking at Sage Paro.

The Pharmacy Research Group was only the proposer of the "Construct" technology and a partner of the "Construct" project, just providing technical output.

The movements of Sage Paro's Legion, especially involving troop mobilization, still had to be decided by Sage Paro himself.

Boundary awareness was very important.

"Can, no problem."

Sage Paro met Sage Celine's inquiring gaze, nodded, and gave an affirmative answer.

Lin Ke's thoughts were still relatively steady and not rash, which was quite in line with Sage Paro's planning.

Just right, a few days ago, the Legion received an order from the Academy to mobilize a portion of servant soldiers from the Fairy World and send them to other legions.

Mutual mobilization of servant soldiers of different races/professions from different worlds was an extremely normal thing.

Sage Paro's Legion also had many servant soldiers from other worlds and other races/professions.

It was just right to take this opportunity to conduct an actual combat test.

Sage Paro decided that the mobilized servant soldiers would be composed of fairies who had accepted the "Construct" project and fairies who hadn't accepted any projects.

Half and half, for comparison.

The decision was made, and Sage Paro and Sage Celine didn't continue to stay, leaving together.

The second phase plan was not in a hurry to unfold; the "Construct" project team, including the Medical Department, the Pharmacy Department, and the Pharmacy Research Group represented by Lin Ke and Renee, couldn't be idle and had other things to do.

Summaries of all stages and aspects from the start of the project to now needed to be done;

The knowledge system of "Construct" needed to be combed through again;

Some technical details needed to be organized for another key training;

And so on and so forth.

Most of the three days of Lin Ke's holiday had to be used on the "Construct" project.

Thinking it through, Lin Ke notified Wizard Salosaer and Mofei to let them organize the members of the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department respectively to conduct self-summaries and internal summaries.

Then, tomorrow morning, hold a general summary meeting.

As for Lin Ke himself, he copied a data report and video, took them back to the Academy Headquarters, and worked overtime to comb through the "Construct" knowledge system.

Where it should be simplified, it should be simplified; where it should be expanded, it should be expanded; where it should be added, it should be added.

In short, it was one word: busy.

Busy until Sunday evening, he finally finished everything for this stage of the "Construct" project.

One point of cultivation, one point of harvest.

The high-intensity busyness brought dual fatigue of spirit and body, but the harvest was also very large.

The "Construct" knowledge system, up to now, had initially taken shape.

Both the Wizard Apprentice and the Formal Wizard stages had corresponding relatively perfect designs.

The Wizard Apprentice stage was mainly based on implanting "Construct" single pieces. The physical and soul comprehensive carrying capacity of a First-Grade Wizard Apprentice could support 1 to 3 "Construct" single pieces;

The physical and soul comprehensive carrying capacity of a Second-Grade Wizard Apprentice could support 3 to 5 "Construct" single pieces;

The physical and soul comprehensive carrying capacity of a Third-Grade Wizard Apprentice could support 6 to 10 "Construct" single pieces.

However, if one considered development potential and allowed the single pieces implanted in the early stage to be assembled into sets similar to "Savage Strike" later on.

In that case, one couldn't implant single pieces at will, wasting implantation counts and occupying comprehensive carrying capacity.

Instead, one should choose and preset the implantation of specific single pieces.

Lin Ke made a theoretical estimation based on existing data and discovered:

A Third-Grade Wizard Apprentice, if they developed their comprehensive carrying capacity to the maximum, could implant 2 sets equivalent to 1-Ring Wizardry.

What did this mean?

This meant that if Lin Ke's "Construct" technology matured further and could be promoted on a large scale, there would be countless wizard apprentices eager for immediate combat power who would choose to implant "Constructs"!

Think about those 0-Ring Wizardries whose attack power and defense power couldn't even compare to 1-Ring wizard artifacts.

One could know that Lin Ke's guess was not absurd.

However, after reaching this conclusion, Lin Ke instead felt uneasy in his heart.

This was just the improvement at the Wizard Apprentice stage.

At the Formal Wizard stage, it was even more exaggerated.

Preliminary estimation:

A Level 1 Wizard could implant 2 to 3 sets with effects equivalent to 2-Ring Wizardry;

A Level 2 Wizard could implant 4 to 6 sets with effects equivalent to 3-Ring Wizardry;

A Level 3 Wizard could implant 8 to 12 sets with effects equivalent to 3-Ring Wizardry, or 1 to 2 sets with effects equivalent to 4-Ring Wizardry.

The reason why it could be inferred now that a Level 3 Wizard could implant sets with effects equivalent to 4-Ring Wizardry, while there was no such concept before.

Was because Lin Ke hadn't comprehended any rules before today!

In the early hours of today, through the wonderful meditation state entered by operating the "Brain Seal Technique," which could be performed once every 96 hours, he sensed the operation rules of the "Solar System" in the Sea of Consciousness Small World.

Lin Ke successfully comprehended a thread of the rules of one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, universal gravitation.

And he had the inspiration to create a related 4-Ring Wizardry.

With a relatively clear intuitive cognition of 4-Ring Wizardry, Lin Ke was able to make such an inference.

Looking at the inference he had just made, Lin Ke felt somewhat helpless.

He even repeated the data calculation several times, until he was sure that every calculation using different models would yield the same result.

Only then did he dare to believe his own inference.

"Tsk..."

Smacking his tongue, Lin Ke didn't know how to express his mood at this moment.

The "Construct" matter seemed to have gone astray, and it had been made too big!

Even if Lin Ke had been ambitious at the beginning and was aiming to create a brand-new wizard faction when perfecting the "Construct" technology and knowledge system.

He had never expected that "Construct" could potentially allow a Level 3 Wizard to possess Sage-level combat power for a short time without the help of large-scale wizard artifacts!

"Should I celebrate, or should I have a headache?"

Lin Ke muttered to himself.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ke decided to kick the ball out, so he urgently contacted Sage Celine and made an appointment to meet in her experimental building office.

"Mo Li, I have something urgent to go out for."

Before leaving, Lin Ke

Thinking this way, Mo Li warned solemnly, "You are not allowed to reveal that kind of spirit outside, attracting bees and butterflies, did you hear me?"

"Rest assured, absolutely not."

Lin Ke responded positively without the slightest hesitation.

Answering such a life-threatening question, if he hesitated even a little, he would probably be slashed, right?

"Hmph hmph!"

Mo Li pouted her small face and emphasized seriously, "You can only let me see it alone, understand?"

"Understand!"

Lin Ke promised solemnly.

After a small interlude, the two tacitly ignored the cause of such a big change in Lin Ke.

Mo Li didn't pursue the matter to the end.

Lin Ke hadn't figured out the cause and didn't know how to start talking about it.

In a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, the two went to the dining room, had breakfast, and then went to class separately.

For the next four days, Lin Ke devoted himself entirely to learning, research, experiments, and coordinating the "Construct" project.

He didn't neglect daily affairs because he was thinking about the "Great Universe Meditation Method," "Brain Seal Technique," and sensing the rules.

Learning, research, and experiments had nothing special.

The 3,000 fairies in the first phase of the "Construct" project had all been implanted with the "Savage Strike" set.

There were a total of 163 fairies who experienced an "immune rejection reaction."

After a detailed investigation, the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department made a preliminary judgment that the cause of the "immune rejection reaction" was the incompatibility between the "Construct" and the fairies' biochemical modification and enhancement.

All 163 of these fairies had experienced slight deformities.

Later, they were saved by the Medical Department of Sage Paro's Legion and didn't die as a result.

As for why the "Construct" was incompatible with the fairies' biochemical modification and enhancement, the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department temporarily had no manpower, energy, or time to investigate deeply.

Lin Ke approved of the preliminary judgment made jointly by the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department.

And based on the project logs and data that Sage Renee handed to him every day, he discovered a phenomenon.

Some fairies who participated in the "Sublimation" potion project could be compatible with the "Savage Strike" set and didn't experience an "immune rejection reaction"!

From this, Lin Ke inferred that the problem still lay in the incomplete biochemical modification and enhancement of the fairies.

It was not that the "Construct" itself had any flaws or hidden dangers.

Having figured this out, Lin Ke reminded the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department to take some time to conduct a few sets of comparative experiments to verify his inference.

If the inference held true, there was no need to investigate why the "Construct" was incompatible with the fairies' biochemical modification and enhancement for the time being.

Set it aside for now; if related problems were discovered or occurred again, they could restart it then.

Since the first phase of the "Construct" project had progressed to this stage, Lin Ke could let go for a period of time.

During this time, the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department would conduct full-process tracking investigations and comparative analysis to determine the improvement brought to the fairies by the "Savage Strike" set.

Once all the data had been collected, Lin Ke would intervene again, and it wouldn't delay the project's advancement.

Therefore, Lin Ke would have a relatively ample amount of time to prepare for the upcoming second extracurricular practice.

According to information revealed by the Academy, the second extracurricular practice for Lin Ke and Mo Li would be a single-person rescue operation.

The destination hadn't been clearly notified yet, and the rescue target hadn't been clearly notified either.

It was only briefly mentioned that the difficulty Lin Ke and Mo Li had to solve was not an unknown enemy, but a complex natural environment.

Mo Li had the "God-Eater Insect" cub as a companion spirit beast, which was most skilled at concealment, searching, and combat, so she didn't need Lin Ke to worry too much.

As for Lin Ke himself, although he was confident that he was very skilled at dealing with the challenges of complex natural environments, he wouldn't let his guard down or be careless.

The preparations that needed to be made had to be made, and they had to be done well and completely, just in case.

The first preparatory task was to verify the closed loop of the "Brain Seal Technique," "Great Universe Meditation Method," turning left into the real "Small World," turning right into the Sea of Consciousness Small World, the "Multi-threaded Thinking" state, and sensing the rules.

After several days of verification, Lin Ke confirmed three points:

First, operating the "Brain Seal Technique" to enter the state of ethereal, hazy confusion, which automatically activated the "Great Universe Meditation Method," had a more outstanding effect than active deep meditation;

Moreover, Lin Ke also vaguely sensed that the "Great Universe Meditation Method" was undergoing self-perfection and self-iteration in this state.

Second, the consciousness body turning left into the real "Small World" and turning right into the Sea of Consciousness Small World was indeed the case;

After entering, by using multi-tasking, he could simultaneously control his physical body and consciousness body with ease, without falling into a state similar to a coma or shock.

Thereby preventing himself from being taken advantage of by others and letting them pick up a bargain. (╯□╰)

Third, in the "Multi-threaded Thinking" state, which occurred once every 96 hours, the rules Lin Ke sensed were the rules necessary for Sage advancement.

Having confirmed this point, Lin Ke was truly excited for quite a while.

The second preparatory task was to move a whole set of emergency survival facilities and equipment, food, water, and Magic Stones into the Sea of Consciousness Small World.

The Sea of Consciousness Small World, with a capacity limit of 100 tons, was stuffed full, just in case.

The third preparatory task was to conduct targeted rescue training.

Everything is prepared if one is ready, and not prepared if one is not.

Lin Ke wouldn't dare to rely on his combat power that exceeded his peers to look down on everything, thinking he was invincible and capable of anything.

The training that needed to be conducted, Lin Ke dragged Mo Li along to do, not missing a single item, doing it every day.

Thus, another fulfilling week passed.

The second extracurricular practice activity for Lin Ke and Mo Li arrived as scheduled.

Having made various preparations, the two said "take care" to each other and stepped into different portals, heading to different destinations.

The familiar feeling of space-time detachment descended again.

"Activate!"

Sensing that he had already left the Academy Headquarters world and arrived at a strange place, Lin Ke's first reaction was to activate the Natal Wizardry "Battle Armor."

Wearing the defense-mode battle armor, Lin Ke quickly passed the refractory period of the space-time detachment and looked at the surrounding environment.

This was a lava world; as far as the eye could see, it was almost all boiling lava, and there was no suitable place to stand at all.

A piece of parchment drifted down tremblingly from the sky and entered Lin Ke's field of vision.

What was written on it was the specific content of this extracurricular practice activity.

Lin Ke grabbed the parchment and unfolded it to take a look; his brows immediately furrowed.

The Academy's arrangement this time was truly too bizarre.

He didn't know who had formulated the rules, goals, and requirements; they were absurd to the extreme.

For a time, Lin Ke couldn't think of how to cut in to complete the rescue.

After thinking for a long while, until his head was almost bald, he still couldn't think of a good method.

Lin Ke couldn't help but enthusiastically greet the person who formulated this extracurricular practice activity:

Fuck your ancestors! ===== CHAPTER 283 =====

Completely deleted, the kind that cannot be recovered.

As a somewhat famous Great Pharmacist, installing a monitor in the office is very reasonable, right?

Once a theft incident occurs, at least there can be some evidence, right?

After leaving the experimental building, Lin Ke immediately took out the encrypted cross-boundary communicator and sent a communication request to Dean Forrest.

Before the communication was even connected, an irresistible force was applied to Lin Ke.

The world changed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ke disappeared from where he was.
