Chapter 54: Hands-On Practice

Congratulations!

In the study, Lin Ke beamed with joy, clapping for himself.

The realization of the false natal witchcraft concept is of great significance to Lin Ke.

In terms of aptitude, Lin Ke is merely fourth-tier, though not bad, but there are many with higher aptitude than him.

In terms of talent, Lin Ke, in both lives, is not a genius with flawless plans; he is merely average, perhaps with some cleverness but no great wisdom.

Without the pay-to-win card-draw system, Lin Ke could not have grown this fast.

And the more he benefits from the system, the more Lin Ke harbors hidden worries.

He worries that one day the system will suddenly leave him, and then he will reveal his true form and return to mediocrity.

Therefore, Lin Ke does not act arrogantly just because he has the system, thinking he is number one under heaven; instead, he works diligently and studies hard.

Therefore, for every card drawn via the system, Lin Ke must exert its utmost effect.

"Brain Seal Technique" is like that.

Lin Ke not only uses it to organize and disguise memories, but also uses it to construct a Hall of Thought, treating it as a wisdom sword that clears the mind and cuts desire.

"Philius Flitwick's Spellcasting Talent" is no exception.

Just now, Lin Ke again utilized the special nature of the Sea of Consciousness, the Brain Seal Technique and the Hall of Thought, plus a tiny bit of help from Philius Flitwick's Spellcasting Talent, to realize the concept of the false natal witchcraft.

This is Lin Ke's own victory, not relying on system card draws or others' bestowal.

Lin Ke can proudly declare that he has reached the standard of self-reliance!

After a moment, the inner little theater ended, and Lin Ke regained calm.

Although the false natal witchcraft has succeeded, the 'storage' witchcraft model is still not proficient.

There is no other shortcut; only more practice can improve proficiency.

Thus, Lin Ke exhausted his mental and magical power almost to the bottom, practicing several sets of the Water Shield Technique and the Thorn-Entwining Witchcraft Model 'Storage', along with instant casting.

Constantly summarizing experience, constantly improving techniques.

Finally, he was so tired that he didn't even want to do light meditation, and fell straight into deep sleep.

Natural sleep can also slowly restore mental and magical power.

But its efficiency is far lower than that of light meditation.

But occasionally doing so actually helps physical and mental health, loosening the heartstrings.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Ke came to the experiment building.

Not long after, Mo Li also came over on her own initiative, without needing Lin Ke to urge her again, being very proactive.

After passing two security checkpoints, the two entered the lab.

In the cloakroom attached to the office area, they changed clothes and shoes, putting on the lab-provided long clothes and shoes.

Mo Li removed her accessories and tied up her long hair.

Before entering the experiment area, the two again wore protective gear in the changing room, including masks, gloves, lab coats, and goggles.

In short, it is to strictly enforce the lab's standard of strictly separating the experiment area, living/office area, clean area, and contaminated area.

Even though this experiment actually does not require such high sterility requirements.

"You handle the operation, you handle the recording."

Upon entering the botany lab, Lin Ke took out his experiment log designed according to data format, handed it to Mo Li, and acted as a hands-off manager.

"Me?"

Mo Li stared with her green eyes, somewhat lacking confidence.

Although she has done quite a few experiments before, she has never conducted this type of experiment requiring long-term observation, recording, and analysis.

Her heart pounded nervously.

"Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Lin Ke spoke encouragingly, but his tone and content really resembled a bad boss PUA-ing his subordinate.

"Yeah! I can do it."

Mo Li's response was to nod vigorously and loudly cheer herself on.

Then she took the experiment log and filled in the date, time, personnel, experiment name, plan, method, etc.

The whole process wasn't smooth as flowing clouds and water, but it was sufficiently fluent.

After filling in the required information, Mo Li put down the experiment log.

First she poured the nutrient solution into the reservoir, adjusted the meters and valves of the supply system, then grouped and labeled the silver star flower seeds by variety, scattering each group evenly into the seedbed at set intervals.

After doing these, Mo Li briefly checked and confirmed there were no omissions or errors.

After that came the first day's first use of the secondary mist rain technique, moistening the vitality of the silver star flower seeds.

Mo Li again asked Lin Ke about the details of casting the ultra-model secondary mist rain technique, did some mental preparation, then boldly put it into practice.

The pattering light rain fell evenly from above the seedbed, moistening each silver star flower seed.

Today's work basically ends here.

Mo Li recorded all previous operations and rainfall amount in the experiment log, then turned to look at Lin Ke, awaiting instructions.

"Excellent!"

Lin Ke gave Mo Li a thumbs up.

Having such a capable and proactive research assistant, many things need not be done personally, indeed saving time and effort.

After taking off the lab coats, the two left the experiment area and entered the office area.

"How was the experience? Any thoughts?"

After changing back into his own clothes and leaving the laboratory, Lin Ke asked while walking up the stairs.

"It really requires meticulousness and patience."

Mo Li thought for a moment, then replied briefly.

"Doing experiments, doing research, indeed that's the case. Carefulness and patience are indispensable."

Lin Ke gave a positive response: "Keep working hard, I'm optimistic about you!"

Mo Li, upon hearing that, wrinkled her nose and snorted: "When you have use for me, you praise me to your heart's content; before that, you don't even give me a pleasant look."

Lin Ke gave an embarrassed smile.

Everyone says he's a sycophant, but he really doesn't act like one at all normally; he's just aloof!

……

The day's lessons ended.

In the evening, Lin Ke still had Mo Li responsible for checking the seed conditions, casting the minor mist rain technique, and recording the experiment log.

The only difference from morning was that Lin Ke explained the experiment's purpose, ideas, methods, and steps one by one.

One person spoke, the other acted; they worked well together, and the work wasn't tiring.

After finishing the experiment, Lin Ke didn't rush to the library; instead, he prepared to first go to the top floor of this experimental building, i. e., the seventh floor.

That place is a dedicated area for Newbloods to practice witchcraft, with forty rooms.

Newbloods can rent rooms there for free, practice various witchcraft to their heart's content, without worrying about damaging the building and facilities.

Zero-ring attack witchcraft still lacks the power to damage the experimental building that can withstand three-ring witchcraft attacks.

Lin Ke had known about this place for a long time, but had never gone there.

Today, Lin Ke will go to try it out, practicing pseudo-native witchcraft in a near-combat environment.

Upon hearing Lin Ke's idea, Mo Li couldn't help but feel excited.

In the previous battle with Enrique, she although didn't hold back, also didn't contribute much.

Afterward, she used her savings and the dividends Lin Ke gave her to buy three rune items, greatly boosting her on-paper strength.

Unfortunately, she never found a chance to safely test them.

Today just happened to be the opportunity; it's a pleasant surprise.

She really wants to know her current life-saving capability!
