On an unknown hill one hundred kilometers away from Thumb Mountain.
A fifty-cubic-meter cave has been dug out on the mountainside, and four machines are running around the cave. An electromagnetic shield completely isolates this place from the outside world.
Even if a slightly stronger beam of light wants to enter, it must first be filtered by four machines before it can become a soft light and enter.
The area around the mountain is barren and has no value at all.
The system asked in a somewhat speechless voice: "How long do you plan to hide? With this commotion, you have really turned yourself into a complete coward."
Yu Sheng looked at the magic training book nonchalantly and said with a faint smile: "I'll hide as long as I can. It would be best if I hide until they all think I'm dead. I'll have to hide for at least a year."
"..." The system was completely speechless and cursed, "You still have 180 billion left. Do you plan to hide for a year? Why do you want to hide for so long? Why don't you rob a bank first and then hide?"
Yu Sheng flipped through the book silently and said indifferently: "That's true, but we have a source of income now. Chu Qiang has already started to inspect the apprentices in the United States, and will soon be able to purchase and start experimental planting. The island managed by Ling Yue'er will also have a harvest soon. The fishman is also fishing for treasure for me. Mao Junsheng is also making money. Even if it's less than a month, there will be some!"
"Wait, Mao Junsheng?" the system suddenly reminded.
Unable to help feeling a little strange, Yu Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
With a slight frown, the system said to Yu Sheng, "That guy hasn't sent any money to me for a month. Is he dead? Or has he breached the contract or terminated the contract?"
"That's a soul contract! Looks like he's dead." Yu Sheng said with some regret, "After all, that kid was too reckless, so let him die. It doesn't matter. Now all we have to do is disappear, and when no one remembers us, we'll come out again."
The system was speechless and said in a strange tone: "Then you don't plan to practice your martial arts anymore."
Nodding silently, Yu Sheng also said speechlessly: "According to your latest budget, the cost of minor to major success is 300 billion, and the cost of major to perfect success is 500 billion. This is far beyond our budget. I plan to use the evil spirit I have cultivated to slowly polish it. It is better to practice magic first."
"What's the use of magic without a grimoire?" the system said speechlessly.
To form magic, one must first construct a magic circle, and the magic circle needs to be on a flat surface and opened smoothly with magic materials to form effective magic.
Generally, magicians who practice magic have magic tools as aids, and the most useful one is the magic book. It's not that other magic tools are not good, but magic tools are too expensive, and they are not necessarily more effective than technology.
After all, technology is only expensive to develop, and once it is developed, it can at least be produced in small batches, but magic is completely different.
Magical artifacts are limited by the use of magic crystals as raw materials, and magic crystals are produced by the monsters of the fierce beast branch. Since each monster has a different living environment, the shape, size, and even strength of the magic artifacts are completely different.
The magic book can almost solve the most basic and core problems of a magician's combat, that is, reducing the cost of casting magic in combat and making magic activation faster.
However, Yu Sheng didn't care too much. First of all, due to the improvement of his soul, he had reached the level of a great magician without any special training of his mental strength. Moreover, he also had the ultimate talent for wind chaos magic.
However, after reading many magic books, Yu Sheng was in trouble. He could not feel the magic elements at all, and he could not find the reason after reading many magic books.
Yu Sheng: "Exchange, lowest level wind-type magic crystal"
A green magic crystal appeared in his hand. As soon as the magic crystal appeared, Yu Sheng instantly felt that it was like a living thing, and it seemed to be very kind to him.
He tried to concentrate, and sure enough, he caught a wind element. According to the records in the book, Yu Sheng first wrapped it with his mental power little by little, and then slowly invaded it. Ten minutes later, Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his first conquest of an element was easily successful.
After putting away the magic crystal, he once again sensed the wind element around him, then frowned slightly and said, "System, did these four machines destroy the wind element? Oh my god..."
The system said speechlessly: "You half-baked one, can't you start from the basics of magic? First of all, this world only has the elements on the periodic table. There is no such thing as a separate 'wind element'."
"What? Then what I absorbed wasn't something from this world?" Yu Sheng asked back, somewhat confused.
It is true that he has not read the basics, or he simply has no time to read them, after all, there are too many basics.
However, the system said: "The so-called wind element is originally a composite element. The formation of wind is the effect of air pressure and air, and the role of the wind element is almost the role of regulation. It is not a single element. It is an element composed of dozens of elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, etc. It is naturally impossible to exist in the air. Even if it is exposed to the air for too long, it will be decomposed."
"Damn, how do I practice then?" Yu Sheng was completely speechless. He finally had a first-class talent and he thought he could become a magic genius.
However, the system reminded: "There are two methods. One is to exchange magic crystals for Warcraft and use them to practice. With your talent, you can accept this level of practice. The other is to practice low-level magic, such as oxygen magic, nitrogen magic, etc. This is the essence of magic that can only be discovered when magic civilization develops to a medium-high level, so you must read more advanced basic books."
“Damn, my coolness is gone after I hear it! What kind of magic is this? I don’t want to practice it anymore after hearing it. I…” Yu Sheng complained speechlessly.
However, the system said: "Don't underestimate single magic, such as oxygen magic. If you learn it, you can instantly adjust the oxygen concentration to zero, and the opponent will be poisoned to death if he breathes in. Or accelerated oxidation is also very powerful. Of course, if you practice wind magic, you can do these. It only takes a period of practice to master it."
"So powerful!" Yu Sheng was secretly surprised.
However, the system reminded: "Every deep civilization is very powerful. But there will be great differences depending on the different applications. For example, some martial arts civilizations do not pursue higher realms after practicing martial arts civilizations to a certain stage. Instead, they pursue large-scale reproduction to achieve racial effects and fight against enemies. It is different from the combat system you choose."
"Is it possible to play it this way? But giving birth to a hundred sons is useless. What else do they do except snatch resources from me?" Yu Sheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
However, the system reminded: "Don't underestimate warriors who reproduce in large quantities. Because their innate cells are strong, they can mate with many unexpected races. For example, when your martial arts danger level reaches the fairy level, you can find some elephants, blue whales, etc. The offspring born are sometimes stronger than you can imagine."
"That's useless, and who is so perverted? They're not even the same race! The key is, will they still listen to you after becoming stronger? In the final analysis, the truth lies only when you become stronger. Descendants and the like are just helpless acts when you have reached the end of your life." Yu Sheng said with disdain.
The system was completely speechless. Indeed, for Yu Sheng, sometimes he didn't quite trust himself, let alone his own son. He even had to ponder over and over again whether he was being too emotional.
