Chapter 330 Contact with an Old Classmate
For Jieming, spending more than a decade focusing on tackling a core technology was just an ordinary episode in his long research career.
When he finally stopped using the energy pen to draw runes and looked up at his newly transformed creation, a sense of satisfaction welled up within him.
The pool in front of us still uses the old name "hatching pool," but its essence has undergone a complete transformation.
Not only did Jemin fully digest, absorb, and optimize the original incubation pool foundation derived from the Lava Giant system, but more importantly, he successfully inscribed the profound techniques from the "Great Dao Book Pavilion" concerning the condensation of incense and divine faith, as well as the enhancement of aptitude and the transmission of life information, into the core rules of this pool of water in the form of wizard runes and alchemical matrices.
The most obvious improvement is reflected in the starting point of the Black Giant.
After the hatching pool was modified, the black giants bred there had their initial level potential greatly improved, and they could all stably reach the lowest level of three!
This means that every newborn black giant, upon emerging from the pool, already possesses formidable combat power.
Of course, correspondingly, the energy required to hatch each black giant increases exponentially, making it a veritable energy-devouring behemoth.
However, in Jemin's view, this problem would be solved once the Level 7 Large Elemental Pool was successfully installed.
He has great confidence in this.
Another more fundamental change is that the incubation pool itself has gained the ability to "self-replicate".
By consuming massive amounts of energy and specific materials, this main incubation pool can split to produce fully functional "sub-incubation pools".
These sub-pools, scattered throughout the plane, will greatly accelerate the expansion of the Black Giant race.
Combined with the Black Giants' inherent ability to create new individuals by injecting core crystals containing life information into a specific energy environment, the prototype of a "servant race" capable of self-reproduction, expansion, and the formation of a stable social structure has already been achieved!
“The biological basis and technological framework are all ready... Now all that’s missing is the most crucial energy core…” Jemin subconsciously scratched his head again.
He felt that his hairline had been under invisible threat in recent years because of this energy issue.
He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his "exceptionally intelligent" mentor.
Fortunately, intense academic pressure isn't all bad.
In order to master the "Instruction Manual for the Level 7 Large Elemental Pool," his "Body Tempering Method" was stimulated to new heights in terms of the adaptive evolution of his soul and brain.
He could clearly feel that his thinking speed, information processing ability, and memory and comprehension efficiency were increasing day by day.
Based on his current progress, he estimates that it will take him less than a hundred years to fully master this complex technology.
"If we act quickly, it's entirely possible to complete the core construction of the incense and sacred path before the next mandatory military service deadline..." Jemin thought to himself.
He even had a strong premonition that, given the depth and complexity of the rules involved in the incense and divine path technology, when he personally turned it from blueprint to reality, the knowledge he accumulated and integrated in the process was very likely to directly push his mastery of the "laws of spiritual energy" to break through that crucial 0.1%, thus naturally advancing him to the third-level wizard!
Just then, the communicator next to me emitted a crisp beep.
Jemin checked and saw that it was a completion acceptance notice sent by the dimensional construction team he had hired.
He arrived at the control center deep within the laboratory and activated the monitoring array covering the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
A massive 3D projection unfolds, displaying newly constructed facility nodes across the plane.
He carefully inspected each of the pre-designed modification areas, confirming that the energy channels were unobstructed, the structure was stable, and the runes were accurately inscribed, fully meeting or even exceeding his blueprint requirements.
"Well done." Jemin nodded in satisfaction and readily paid the remaining balance of the project payment through the Magic Network terminal.
"Although the level seven large elemental pool cannot be put into use immediately, relying on the existing large elemental pool and the energy network of the plane, we can already begin to construct some core arrays in the incense and deity paths that are less dependent on massive external energy sources..." Jemin planned the next step.
He casually opened his military merit account and checked the balance.
Upon seeing this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Hiss... I didn't realize that these expenses, accumulated little by little, would amount to so much..."
Although there are still over a billion military merits in the account, which still seems like a huge sum of money, according to Jieming's precise estimate of the materials needed for the remaining project, at least tens of billions more military merits will be needed to fully construct the complete framework of the incense and temple!
"It seems I'll have to save for several more decades, or maybe I should look for other quick ways to make money..." Just as Jemin was deep in thought about ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, his communicator rang again at an inopportune moment.
He paused for a moment, then looked at the screen, which displayed a somewhat unfamiliar name: Bill Ling Black.
Who is this?
For a moment, Jemin was somewhat bewildered.
The combination of the other person's surname and given name seemed somewhat familiar, but he was unable to immediately retrieve the corresponding clear images and information from his memory bank.
This is an extremely unusual phenomenon for a wizard whose basic ability is to remember everything he sees.
Without his deliberate prompting, the powerful adaptive capabilities granted by the Body Tempering Method were already operating on their own.
The barrier of the soul seemed to be gently touched by an invisible force, and a slight interference applied to the cognitive level was instantly broken through, like ice and snow melting away.
The floodgates of memory opened, and relevant information clearly emerged: Bill Ling Black was the classmate who was in the same year as him at Noren Academy No. 13, who showed exceptional talent in the soul aptitude test and was immediately taken as a personal disciple by a soul-type mentor!
"To be able to subtly obscure my memory perception without my noticing, and to reduce my own presence over a long period of time... it seems that this old classmate's achievements on the path of the soul are not to be underestimated." Jemin clicked his tongue in amazement, a hint of interest rising in his heart.
It should be noted that, after being "trained" by the mysterious white mist in the airspace dimension and the spiritual pollution of the Bacterium Master, his soul's resistance to various interferences and erosions had already evolved to a considerably high level.
The fact that the other party's methods could still have an effect on him, even if only briefly and slightly, was enough to prove their extraordinary nature.
He was somewhat curious as to why this soul-type genius, who had almost disappeared from the corner of his memory, would suddenly take the initiative to contact him.
After all, the two sides didn't have much interaction in the past.
After a moment's thought, Jieming decided to connect the call.
The projection screen lit up, revealing a male wizard with a somewhat pale face and eyes as deep as an ancient well, wearing a black robe with the distinctive emblem of the School of Souls.
He looked at Jemin and smiled.
"Hello, Wizard Jemin, you might not remember me, but I'm actually yours..."
“My classmate from the same year, the little genius of the soul system.” Jemin smiled and smoothly took over his words, looking at the momentary look of surprise on Blake’s face in the light screen, “It’s been a long time, Wizard Blake.”
Blake was indeed stunned.
He was quite confident in the areas of "presence dilution" and "memory deflection" that he had applied.
Even wizards one or two levels above him might not be able to recognize and call out his name so quickly and easily.
The mental energy fluctuations that Jemin was sensing were still at the level of a second-level wizard...
For a wizard who is well-versed in the study of the soul, this abnormality means only one thing—the other party has the ability to threaten his life in an instant!
The assessment of Jemin's talent in his mind instantly rose to a new level, and the hesitation caused by the special nature of the commission vanished at this moment.
Blake quickly suppressed his surprise, his expression becoming unusually serious. He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:
"I wonder... if Wizard Jemin would be willing to accept the commission to manufacture magical artifacts?"
