"I know who is conspiring with the Lich against you."
People were coming and going around him, but these words gave Roland an unusually clear feeling.
It has been almost half a year. Roland has been investigating the Lich's cooperation with players for almost half a year, and now there is finally news.
He said: "Then go to my manor and talk slowly."
Back at his manor, Roland asked Beatrice to bring some pastries to entertain the guests, and then asked, "Have you figured it out?"
"I figured it out accidentally." Solissa said while eating pastries: "The matter is quite tortuous and dramatic. In order to protect my real-life information, I can't tell you the specific process."
Roland nodded: "I understand."
"This is the list." Solisa pushed a piece of parchment in front of Roland: "It involves a lot of people. It's up to you to decide what to do. I don't plan to get involved in this year's affairs anymore."
Roland twitched his eyebrows: "Is it troublesome?"
"It's a bit troublesome." Solisa said helplessly: "It's not convenient for us weak women to get involved."
Roland placed five bags of gold coins on the table.
"Thanks."
Then Solissa left.
Roland spread out the parchment and sighed: "Several of them are famous anchors, there are a few relatively famous tycoons, and there are a bunch of people who are messing around. Am I so annoying?"
In fact, it wasn't Roland who was annoying, it was him being the "number one in the server" who was annoying.
No matter which game it is, as long as it is number one, people will mess with it.
It has nothing to do with good or evil, it is purely an instinct caused by jealousy and competition.
But Roland smiled: "At least there is no acquaintance, which is good news."
Then he put the parchment away.
He believed most of the news sent by Solisa.
The remaining 30% didn't believe it, 10% wanted to keep a close eye on everything, and the other 20% wanted to investigate whether anyone here was wronged.
He first went to the Assassin's Guild and spent a lot of money to commission an investigation into the relatively powerful people on the list.
Let the people from the Assassin's Guild just investigate and don't intend to kill.
As long as there is no murderous intention, it will not turn red, and players will not have any big reaction.
Although many powerful thieves have been born among players.
But the skills of thieves and scouts who have been with them for more than five years are still not as good as those of the true elites in the Assassin's Guild.
Then Roland pretended that nothing happened and returned to Delbon Manor to start studying the Great Disintegration Technique.
This thing is extremely difficult.
It was so high that Roland even had a headache.
Because it involves causal magic, which Roland is least good at.
He spent a week learning the Great Disintegration Technique, but made no progress.
But in the new base, he is now extremely popular.
People in all the research departments were getting closer to him, and they didn't invite him to their departments if something happened.
Of course, Roland followed their wishes and rushed to various departments.
I just became familiar with a lot of paths.
What he does most now is help others cast the magic of 'knowing words'.
As his real-life strength gradually improved, he was still able to help people cast spells for about five hours.
This time, he immediately became the thorn in the side of all research departments.
People who engage in scientific research really like to see the latest research results.
And they have this condition, and some special documents were obtained with the help of the state.
Some are in French, some are in German, and some are in English.
Although the vast majority of scientific researchers know at least one foreign language, they are confused when they encounter a language they are not good at.
I was too anxious to wait for someone else to translate.
Then Roland accidentally watched the group of people engaged in energy transfer scratching their heads over an English material.
Because of the phonetic language, many words are newly coined and cannot be understood without annotations.
In the English-speaking world, it is nothing new for people engaged in scientific research to look at each other as if they were separated by mountains.
These latest information are mixed with a large number of newly coined words, which even professional translators cannot understand.
Roland was drinking tea with a few young people and bragging. These young people wanted to help Roland design a suit of Iron Man armor, as long as Roland himself could provide energy output.
Then, seeing the embarrassed looks on the faces of some middle-aged bosses, I subconsciously helped them take pictures of them.
The result... This group of people was shocked on the spot. They immediately took advantage of the available time to translate all the information into Chinese, input it into the computer, and then printed it out on A4 paper.
The 37 pages of English information were translated into 13 pages of Chinese characters. After checking the information and data afterwards, I found that it was 100% accurate.
Then Roland became a national treasure in the base.
The researchers didn't want to study him anymore, so they just asked him to come to their department to take a few pictures of his proficiency in calligraphy, and then kicked him out.
No mercy at all.
But in fact, all the departments in the base took this opportunity to re-translate all important foreign language materials.
I found a lot of mistakes and things that I thought were unreasonable before.
Many times, if you don’t understand the research or don’t understand it, it’s because the translation is not in place.
After all, for a long time, the outside world has been in a state of technological blockade in China. Many materials are completely different due to newly coined words or even translations, and some key points are completely different.
But now that there is large-scale text-savvy magic, everything is easier to say.
Then the entire base carried out a large-scale campaign to revise the accuracy of foreign language materials.
This has resulted in new progress being made on many projects that were unable to progress.
Then comes the high-level meeting.
"Roland's role is much greater than we imagined. It is not only a strategic weapon, but also a research subject. We will give him an appropriate position and let him join or even integrate into our research circle."
"I agree."
"I have a better idea. We can open a special energy research laboratory. He will be the project leader and director, and then send some young people to him. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Oh, that's a good idea."
So two days later, when Roland heard about the appointment, he was deceived.
"Wait a minute, leader, you're just trying to catch a duck."
"What does it mean to catch a duck and put it on the shelves? Who else in the world can use this thing called magic except you?"
"Oh... but I have no experience and don't know how to proceed?"
"Then think and experiment by yourself. Who knows how to do something that appears for the first time? At least you still have experience." The person in charge of the base smiled and put the appointment letter in front of him: "What experimental equipment is needed? Declare it yourself and we will give you the maximum authority. By the way, the experimental experience will be given to you at the highest level. Ask us for it when you have used it up."
Then the person in charge left.
Three hours later, Roland will become the director of the new project 'Discovery and Application of Special Energy'. Those who are interested in conducting research in his team can sign up. As long as Roland is willing to ask you, he can transfer the team position.
Within half an hour, Roland's dedicated mailbox inside the base was almost overwhelmed by the massive number of applications.
Nearly 10,000 application information sheets.
Roland reluctantly accepted the appointment and then began to screen people.
First, I wanted young people, second, I wanted people who liked playing games, and finally, I wanted more than 30 researchers.
From those who study genes to those who study physical energy, there are two or three people in each of more than a dozen subjects.
Then this grass platform team was built.
We also used the best research room.
On the morning when the new team was successfully formed, Roland sat on the podium, looked at the thirty or so young people below, and said: "The leader asked me to form a new research project, so I built it, but I don't have any research experience. So... we still need more of your efforts."
Seeing that Roland spoke very well and was not arrogant, the thirty or so young people felt relieved.
"Okay, let's introduce each other." Roland pointed to the young man with glasses on his left hand side: "Let's start with you."
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Rui, majoring in psychological behavior. I have previously studied the effect of placebos on the appearance of the human body." He blinked: "In my research, some people have no idea about the placebo effect at all. Sensitive, and some people are quite sensitive, to the extent that they can even form physical 'marks' on the surface of the body. I think Director Huang is the latter type of person, and a super sensitive type."
Then the bespectacled young man sat down.
"But you don't explain why Director Huang's proficient words can be used by other people and are effective for everyone." The researcher who stood up was a woman. She had an average appearance, but her eyes were quite sharp: "I am Su Minluo, used to do data statistics on the energy conversion efficiency project."
"I'm Fu Tiancong, I used to work on the Quantum Mechanics Observation Project."
"I am Zhang Yilin..."
After all thirty-seven people introduced their expertise, Roland said: "I personally hope that magic can be developed on earth. I have now set up the first topic... to study why ** can be transformed into magic."
Roland looked at the thirty or so people. No one felt excited or unhappy when they heard the word **.
There was only eagerness and curiosity in their eyes.
"I will write out the spell model and cast it several times in front of you." Roland continued: "If the female compatriots find it disgusting, you can avoid this project for the time being."
At this time, Su Minluo said disdainfully: "Director Huang, we are all elites, do you know? I once wore gloves, held more than thirty of your men's things, and soaked them in formalin."
Several other girls were laughing.
All the men felt a chill between their legs.
Roland was surprised: "Aren't you engaged in energy conversion efficiency? What you are talking about sounds like medical school stuff."
"I originally studied medicine, but later changed my major."
Oh... Roland understood.
"Then let's all rest for half an hour, and then we'll get started."
The others immediately stood up and went to fiddle with their instruments.
Because these personnel come from more than a dozen different project departments, they bring a variety of instruments.
Half an hour passed quickly. Roland stood in the middle of the white laboratory and said to the surroundings: "The spell I want to use now is called demon transformation... I created it myself in the game to bring magic to the real world. middle."
"Wait, director, can you take off all your clothes?"
"No, I'm afraid of being ugly." Roland shrugged.
"But after you take off all your clothes, we can observe the phenomenon you caused more intuitively." Su Minluo said calmly through the transparent glass: "This is the basic quality of a researcher. Please cooperate with me..."
Roland suddenly spoke and interrupted her: "Sorry, I still don't like taking off my clothes. In addition, although I agree with you to come and help set up these projects, and although I am indeed an experimental subject, as a human being, I am With personal dignity. I am a human being first, and an experimental object second.”
Su Minluo was stunned: "But..."
"No buts..." Roland shook his head and said: "In medical experiments, it is even advocated to give the mice used in experiments a dignified death. I am a human being, can't I have dignity? Comrade Su, please don't pursue experiments and data too much. , and ignore the essence of human beings.”
Su Minluo took a deep breath: "Sorry, Director Huang, I understand what you said."
Then Roland began to use demon transformation several times until he felt his kidneys were getting cold.
Then he walked out of the laboratory with his legs feeling a little weak.
Everyone is counting and crunching numbers.
About two hours later, everyone gathered for a research exchange meeting.
Roland said slowly: "Now, everyone can tell you what you just detected. Do you have any special findings?"
"Director, your body's magnetic field has increased by about 20%."
"Director, your body temperature dropped by half a degree before, especially around the waist, by about 1 degree, but it has now risen."
"Director, according to our radiation detection, your body's thermal radiation is slightly decreasing, but there is a strange energy layer. Look here..."
This person sent a picture to the big screen in the conference room.
There was an X-ray of Roland's body, but the image was quite distorted.
"There is an unknown energy surrounding your body."
"Oh, that's because my magic shield automatically takes effect." Roland explained: "When the magic power in my body reaches a certain level, it will automatically activate."
Everyone looked a little surprised.
At this time, Su Minluo said: "Director, we have discovered a very strange reality. You lost about 34 grams before, but now you have gained 1.3 kilograms. During this period, you did not eat or drink water. You haven't changed your clothes, so... we're wondering if your weight will increase as your magic power increases."
"That's not right. After losing more than 30 grams, how can it produce a weight of more than one kilogram? This is not mass conservation."
"Demon transformation... is it a catalyst? It's just a catalyst. It interacts with unknown things in our human body or in the air to produce new, heavy energy."
Roland thought for a while and said, "Then, you will help me test whether the magic has weight?"
In fact, Roland already knew that magic power has weight.
Because each Magic Cube weighs about a kilogram.
But this is the real world, maybe it will be different
