Chapter 175: 【classic Mechanics Magic Net】the Great Contemporary Magic Revival!
They chatted idly along the way, and before arriving at Taixi University, Yuan Zhu’s stomach growled first.
Meng Xiyue exclaimed in surprise: “Eh? You haven’t eaten yet?!”
Yuan Zhu rolled his eyes in response, feigning heartbreak: “Nonsense, didn’t I come to visit? For your dream of getting rich, I bustled around all morning (staring intently at legs), with no time to fill my stomach. As soon as I had news, I rushed over nonstop to see you. I didn’t expect you to be so oblivious, not even pretending to care with some polite small talk? Is this your way of hosting guests! Daddy is so disappointed.”
“(#Д)!!!”
Pink Haired Head, who had just been sprayed with a tirade, immediately showed a “shocked + innocent” dumbfounded expression, staring blankly at the other party and falling into extreme confusion to the point of speechlessness.
She opened her mouth several times but couldn’t make a sound. Helpless like a carp that could only go “aba aba.”
Yuan Zhu looked down from above, patted the other’s pink-haired little head, and pretended to be disdainful: “What are you standing there for? Quickly invite me to a feast, you’re really so silly.”
“Fuck! Yuan, who do you think is daddy? I’m your daddy.”
Meng Xiyue, finally realizing it belatedly, flew into a rage and jumped up to knock the other’s head. But Yuan Zhu lightly pushed her with his hand, sending her flying backward through the air. After landing, she staggered back three steps with ‘thud thud thud’ before steadying her body, looking small and weak.
“Alright, stop messing around, I’m really hungry. Quickly treat me to a big meal. And by the way, tell me the real purpose of this meeting. You mentioned back then the cooperation between [Skull Server] and [Animal Husbandry Village], exactly how do you plan to do it? I’m very interested in this.”
Meng Xiyue huffed in frustration: “Don’t think about changing the subject, I’ll remember this debt. Come come come, daddy will treat you to a feast right now, and by the way talk about my great plan for [Skull Server. Insect City Grid Connection]!”
Back when they returned from the Bubble World, during the three members’ exchange of experiences, Meng Xiyue had boasted about her encounter in [Cao Ling City].
The most valuable keywords among them were her constructing a [Skull Server (Prototype)] with [Head] from a native [Qi Refiner], featuring the characteristics of [Insect City Pollution System], and successfully simply connecting it into the [City Protection Array], proving the fusibility of [Server-Magic Array].
After returning to the space, she successfully brought out several samples. She handed them over separately to [Happy Home] and the [Knowledge School] behind it, attempting to use the professors behind them and the power of the school as backing to optimize and upgrade her “graduation design” for herself, so she could bring it back to the [Underground World] to show off and create her own “academy-style great undertaking.”
The most appealing PPT chicken soup that attracted Yuan Zhu was the mutual full disclosure and honest cooperation between both sides for common progress.
She would invest with technology, integrating a superior [Insect Cultivation Version. Skull Server] into the [Shadow Domain], maximally upgrading and optimizing everything in the [Domain], helping Yuan Zhu expand and strengthen.
In return, Yuan Zhu would unconditionally provide resources and soil to support all her ideas and genius designs, letting her shine and display her skills. Ultimately, using the [Domain] as the carrier to showcase her strengths, freely constructing a set of [Alienation Version. Knowledge School Classic Magic Net], completing her dream of proving the Dao.
To some extent, if Meng Xiyue completes her plan, then the [Domain] would not only undergo a heaven-defying major upgrade but also no longer be purely his private possession. It would have to share the world with the other party, letting her upgrade to a minor shareholder.
However, the [Knowledge System] represented by [Skull Server] is somewhat eerie, belonging to a very heaven-defying [Acquired Pollution Great Dao], not an [Innate Pollution Root].
In Yuan Zhu’s shallow cognition, the “ultimate knowledge magic net” ultimately created by Meng Xi is likely still of [Shadow Pollution] attribute. And it is an [Acquired Knowledge Product] split from [Shadow Pollution]. He could even repurchase equity from Meng Xi’s hands, regaining 100% control, and letting the [Shadow Domain] thoroughly shed the mortal body and exchange the bones, including and swallowing a share of [Knowledge System]?
To be honest, Yuan Zhu’s desire for control and rule over the [Shadow Domain] in the underground world is not strong. He doesn’t mind this industry being hollowed out by native agents, nor mind being invested in by [Happy Home], nor mind Meng Xiyue using it to tinker around.
As long as the [Domain] continuously creates revenue for him, provides valuable resources, and continuously brings “supernatural data information” about the Du Ling World to the [Great Desolation Immortal Scripture], he would already have profited explosively.
Therefore, he, who knows little about the [Knowledge School], extremely welcomes Meng Xiyue’s joining. To glimpse the core technology of the [Knowledge School] through [Animal Husbandry Village], this platform that can be discarded at any time.
If he can ultimately repurchase, he wouldn’t refuse either.
On the other side, the genius freebie girl who excels at “throwing herself into the game” never fears being used by others; she only hates that no one invests to exploit her.
But compared to maneuvering between [Cao Ling City, Happy Home, Knowledge School], her status is too low, capital too little, with no initiative at all, only passively serving as a tool person, with extremely poor experience.
In contrast, Yuan Zhu this somewhat established but underwhelming backbone, precisely because the family and business are small, gives her the right to speak, allowing her to strive for initiative, becoming the [Animal Husbandry Village Chief Designer], thoroughly unleashing herself and showcasing her talent.
She, Meng Xiyue, is also an academic small fry with ideals!
Therefore, she particularly values cooperating with Yuan Zhu, vowing to ruthlessly freebie [Animal Husbandry Village] and create her own graduation design. Don’t abstain from small evils, don’t abstain from freebie-ing just because the client is too low-class!
Thus, both sides hit it off immediately, rushing toward each other.
Master Yuan, who had just condensed the Soul Crystal, even put aside reinforcing the [Second Seal] and rushed nonstop to Taixi for a face-to-face meeting.
…
“Let’s go let’s go, explaining the [Knowledge School] isn’t something a few simple words can cover. Let’s get a private room and talk slowly. Some words theoretically can’t be leaked casually, nor known by outsiders. But we’re life-and-death friends, big daddy is willing to take you flying together.”
Yuan Zhu sneered disdainfully: “What take me flying? Clearly your ability is too poor, unable to probe even the secrets of [Insect City], coveting big daddy’s [Dream Hole], begging me to take you to play. Stop gilding your face! You! Incompetent in business, weak in exploration, sloppy in technology, slow-minded, from head to toe, progressing only by selling yourself to the ‘school’ behind to be researched and regurgitate technology. It’s me, unconditionally opening [Animal Husbandry Village] and [Shadow Dream Hole] to you, helping your small fry turnaround dream. You need to learn gratitude!”
“Damn it, you really have to go against me, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you dead with one [Classic Mechanics Great Hand Seal]?!”
Pink Haired Head raised both hands high, looked up at Yuan Zhu, struck an amateur fighting pose in front to provoke, and shrieked to spar with Yuan Zhu a couple rounds.
Yuan Zhu smiled without speaking, but his body surface buzzed once, invisible Holy Light spread out, and [Sanctuary. Concept Barrier] flashed and vanished.
No need for words, just ask if your [Hand Seal] can shatter laozi’s [Holy Seal Armament]?
“Roar? You fucking cast the [Holy Seal]? Impressive, kid.”
“Look clearly, this is the conceptual manifestation of the [Holy Seal]. Laozi not only cast the seal? I’ve fucking got the [Soul Crystal], officially entering a new stage! You this third-rate small garbage, worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?”
Meng Xiyue, still a very long way from condensing her own “pollution core ([Seed])”, immediately stopped laughing.
She hemmed and hawed for a long time before righteously saying: “What does a ‘Innate Root’ like you know about the [Knowledge School]? Know what killing without pollution or karma means? What ‘one part effort, leveraging a hundredfold’? Hurry up and eat, after eating, I’ll take you to the laboratory open to the outside at my academy to broaden your horizons, and understand what the greatness of the [Knowledge School] really is!”
……
In the hotel private room, the suspected rich little rich lady ordered Yuan Zhu a huge table of feast made from various [Extraordinary Beings], eating which the latter enjoyed immensely, unable to stop.
This ultimate taste, the supernatural energy bursting in the mouth, and after processing to remove negative pollution erosion, only positive buffs of the “supernatural effects”, made Yuan Zhu exclaim in satisfaction.
He couldn’t access this in Running at all; this planet indeed has its own “dark cuisine world.”
While Yuan Zhu was huffing and puffing with his head buried in devouring, Meng Xiyue held a pair of chopsticks, occasionally picking one or two small nuts similar to “peanut rice,” with a disdainful look of having eaten enough of it, picky and anorexia-like, and watched Yuan Zhu eat it all with keen interest, not verbally provoking to take advantage, but using a loving gaze like a dad feeding a dog to retaliate against Yuan Zhu.
For the sake of this meal, Yuan Zhu continued burying his head and ignored it. As long as I don’t see it, your gaze can’t kill me!
Meng Xiyue then put on a virtuous demeanor of repaying grievance with kindness, enthusiastically explaining to him the origins and formation of the [Knowledge School].
…
The beginning part, Yuan Zhu was also very familiar with.
The core root of the [Knowledge School] is the acquired man-made pollution system [Physics Magic Net], a genuine one covering the Du Ling Star and even the [Du Ling Universe].
From a certain angle, [Physics Magic Net] resembles Earth’s “internet” more than the [Net Path] transformed by the [Holy Light Source].
The prototype of this [Magic Net] is the [Magic Net] from one of the eight outer universes, the [Crystal Wall Universe].
During the Du Ling [First Magic Resurgence] period, the “magic plane fragment” that fell in the northern hemisphere, to curb the rapid loss of magic power elements, the alien race mages from the Crystal Wall Universe decided to unite with elves to construct a small [Crystal Wall Magic Net], enveloping the plane fragment to prevent magic power leakage and form a new “internal circulation.”
But the Du Ling Star stimulated by external (outer universe) stimulation also leaked numerous dormant “super pollution roots,” ruthlessly dismantling various “universe laws” of the [Crystal Wall Universe]’s cultural output.
Including but not limited to forcibly dismantling the [Faith Deity System], erasing the possibility of “faith deification.” And splitting out an independent [God Kingdom System] to recombine with the neighboring similarly dismantled [Steam Totem], becoming the [Industrial God Kingdom] with Du Ling characteristics.
In addition, the super pollution roots of the inner world all seized and parasitized to divide various rules of the [Crystal Wall Universe], dismembering the [Abyss Will].
And the battered [Magic Net Core Project] was picked up by the alien race mages and brought to other continents of Du Ling.
At that time, it had already entered the “Second Supernatural Industrial Revolution” era. More “outer universes” appeared and were attacked en masse by Du Ling native “pollution roots.”
The entire world no longer had an environment for the existence of “magic power, mages, spell slots”; [Magic] completely perished.
At this time, a Crystal Wall-Du Ling mixed-blood “mage descendant,” growing up listening to “Crystal Wall Universe mage stories,” held beautiful fantasies about the mage profession of the “alien hometown (Crystal Wall system).”
At the same time, his family still retained a large number of already useless “spellbooks.” After generations of reproduction, family members gradually adapting to the Du Ling environment also actively accepted various “pollution roots,” attempting to master the newly born native “supernatural systems.”
Thus, the mage descendant who had seen various “pollution roots” suddenly had a bold idea: why should I learn those seemingly not powerful enough “systems”? Why not recreate a new era [Magic] belonging to Du Ling?
For this dream, he worked hard his whole life. Ultimately, with unknown means, he created the foundation of the contemporary [Knowledge School]’s man-made pollution source: [Classic Mechanics Magic Net].
To prevent [Crystal Wall system] invasion and colonization of Du Ling Star, [Magic, Faith Deity System, Abyss Will] these outer universe colonial rules were destined to perish and be destroyed.
[Magic, Magic Power] is impossible to revive and reappear, so this “descendant” spent his life and finally found the adaptation point of “new-style magic” with the Du Ling supernatural environment, which is [Knowledge]!
Mages, using magic power as carrier, explore and excavate “magic” knowledge, the highest achievement is the [Magic Net] woven by the [Magic Net Goddess], everyone registers on the net, opens a private account (spell slot), downloads spells from the [Magic Net], and stores them in spell slots. At the same time, also has spellbook (hardware) to assist in cultivating and researching magic, storing more spells.
The world changes, rules change, the old era’s [Magic] has perished, but the spirit of mages pursuing knowledge and exploring knowledge will never perish!
The new era’s [New Magic Net] is destined to be centered on “knowledge.” However, that era, accurately speaking from the “First Magic Resurgence” all the way to today, the “pollution roots, supernatural systems, forbidden knowledge” emerging on Du Ling Star… are simply explosively numerous.
Every “pollution system” has its own forbidden knowledge.
These repetitive, mutually conflicting, containing danger and pollution… [Forbidden Knowledge] are not the “new school magic knowledge” pursued by the “mage descendant”!
What he needs is that kind of “stable, unchanging, universal, untainted by pollution…” [Knowledge], as the most basic foundation for “new Du Ling magic.”
So, what knowledge is more stable and solid than “mechanics”? And more reliable than mechanics is naturally [Classic Mechanics]; this thing is pure physics, not magic at all!
Coincidentally, in [Ancient Du Ling] before the “First Magic Resurgence,” a large number of traversers appeared from ancient times to now, translating and plagiarizing numerous classics from Earth and even other worlds. Among them including [Physics].
[Classic Mechanics] is a knowledge system passed down from ancient times and widely spread on Du Ling Star. In that supernatural resurgence, pollution rampant “chaos era,” the [Classic Mechanics (Physics Universe)] with anti-pollution and anti-supernatural properties was a pure land untouched by “pollution roots.”
Ultimately, the mage descendant used an unknown [Classic Mechanics Server] as the “new school supernatural root,” using [Classic Mechanics Knowledge] as formulas to replace [Magic Knowledge, Spell Model], constructing the most primitive and also the [Knowledge School]’s most foundational [Classic Mechanics Magic Net], and chose open-source, opening it to scholars worldwide and even universe-wide who crave “knowledge” and “mage revival.”
Thus, the originally most non-supernatural, most anti-pollution [Classic Mechanics] was also polluted. [Classic Mechanics Knowledge] after the blessing of the [Mechanics Magic Net], inexplicably gained “supernatural powers.”
Thus, one by one ancient “physics formulas, theorems, laws” became things like [Spell Model], and after operation by the [Mechanics Magic Net], allowed ordinary people to gain supernatural power.
Even, generation after generation of “physics scholars” tirelessly began on the [Mechanics Magic Net], this supernatural academic platform with computing power, continuously updating and iterating, producing more stable advanced knowledge, forming more “physics spell models.”
And to obtain all this, only one login tool is needed: [Skull Server].
[Skull Server] is the [Spellbook] of the [Classic Mechanics Magic Net]; also the [Computer] for surfing the [Internet].
Having one’s own [Skull Server] allows gaining supernatural powers from the [Mechanics Magic Net] by learning “physics knowledge.”
The scholars of the [Knowledge School] themselves haven’t contacted too much “pollution.” The [Head] becomes the medium, bearing the pollution, helping scholars indirectly gain supernatural powers.
In the [Knowledge School], as long as you’re smart, as long as you have knowledge, you have power!
