moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the puppet’s dark red gemstone eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the ability of [Extraordinary Recognition], he had roughly understood the workings and activation method of this Abyssal Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like other rare and ancient items, activation usually required his blood as a medium, and only his blood was effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the previous Transformer skin and Pocket Watch, the Stand-In Puppet also required the user to actively infuse a portion of consciousness or soul to complete the true binding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a more in-depth and dangerous process than a mere blood connection, requiring extreme caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron took out a small silver dagger and gently made a small cut on his index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright red blood oozed along the wound, like a string of tiny pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently squeezed the wound, allowing a drop of blood to precisely fall on the center of the puppet’s forehead, where there was an almost indistinguishable shallow indentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood was absorbed by the runes on the puppet’s surface at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a desert devouring rain, quickly disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once fully absorbed, the puppet seemed to emit a faint buzzing sound, akin to a sigh from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, those originally dim runes began to flicker with a weak red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On and off, like a heartbeat, bestowing this inanimate object with an almost lifelike quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he infused magic power, the puppet began to inflate rapidly like a balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is the introduction of consciousness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron watched as the bizarre puppet quickly grew to a size comparable to his own, furrowing his brows as he reached out to touch its forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy sensation immediately came over him, a coldness that felt not just physical, but a void existing on a spiritual level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the contact continued, this cold sensation gradually gave way to a feeling of familiarity, as if touching a long-lost fragment of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron closed his eyes and began trying to infuse a portion of consciousness into the puppet through his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the infusion increased, he began to feel a subtle resistance and discomfort, like a cup nearing overflowing, where each additional drop becomes difficult to add.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, it’s not an affinity issue but a capacity limitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Hayek mentioned, there is indeed a limit to the amount of consciousness that can be infused into the Stand-In Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too little infusion will not establish effective control;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much infusion will negatively impact the main body, like a piece of paper torn in half, each half unable to fulfill its original function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This limitation is likely the main reason why even Official Wizards find it challenging to effectively utilize this treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron carefully adjusted the amount of infusion, his precision in spiritual control far exceeding that of ordinary individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a portion of consciousness successfully infused, he suddenly felt a peculiar sense of \"splitting,\" as if an invisible blade had cleaved him into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stand-In Puppet activated successfully!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Energy: 0\u002F100%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: Creates a duplicate that shares some abilities with the user, current state is ordinary simulation]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maximum Distance: 100 meters]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Trait: Dual Consciousness (the user can simultaneously control both the main body and the duplicate)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron attempted to control the puppet’s movement, concentrating part of his attention to command it to raise its arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet did move according to his will but with an extremely mechanical and rigid motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a baby learning to walk or a rusty tin man, where every joint movement carried evident stiffness and delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Controlling it is more difficult than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Ron’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that the portion of consciousness he split off could control the puppet, but the effect was far less flexible and natural than controlling his main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be what Hayek referred to as the ’Dual Tasking’ problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron suddenly realized and understood the vice dean’s warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary apprentices, this kind of split control is truly a daunting challenge to overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without sufficiently strong spiritual power and consciousness control ability, it’s difficult to manage two bodies simultaneously without encountering severe coordination issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who attempted this likely mostly ended in failure, possibly even suffering injuries from excessive mental fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thanks to his \"Dual Soul\" talent, Ron had a significant advantage in this regard over ordinary apprentices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The state of the Stand-In Puppet is just a high simulation, not a real body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through a series of meticulous experiments, Ron gradually understood the essence and operational mechanism of the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet doesn’t simply split the user’s consciousness into two but operates under a \"transmission-replication\" mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The user must consume a large amount of magic power to transmit their own information to the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet then undergoes a certain degree of high-level replication, generating movements and abilities similar to the main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is that this replication can never be perfect, as there will always be a certain amount of information loss and delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also explains why the puppet, although able to simulate the user’s abilities, always shows a drastically reduced effect as if a damper were in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, my imagined double cultivation effect cannot be achieved for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron thought with some disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally hoped to cultivate through both his main body and stand-in simultaneously, thereby gaining double the progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it now seems that the puppet’s state is more like a remote-controlled robot, though more flexible than simple remote control, still unable to achieve a true \"Dual Body Cultivation\" effect.\u003C\u002Fp>",960,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.887Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","7638cbae30558e5e4be1194ec2bfd0f52e54227240bd91804d80eef3ba4bc020","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-239","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-237",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
