Chapter 47 Buffy Training Method
"A 30-point piece is worth an average of 5 magic crystals, a 40-point piece is worth about 7 magic crystals, a 50-point piece is worth 10 magic crystals, a 60-point piece is worth 14 magic crystals, a 70-point piece is worth 20 magic crystals, an 80-point piece is worth 30 magic crystals, a 90-point piece is worth 42 magic crystals, and a 1-carat piece is worth 60 magic crystals... The most expensive piece here is the 1.1-carat piece, which is worth an astonishing 72 magic crystals."
"This doesn't seem to be a regular sequence. The larger the diamond, the more magic crystal units there are, but the growth rate doesn't seem to be linear..."
"According to the actual price, a 30-point diamond would cost around 3,000 Great Zhou coins, and a 1-carat diamond would cost 40,000 to 50,000. So, at least for diamonds under 1 carat, buying a 30-50 point diamond would actually be the most cost-effective..."
"Those below 9 points aren't even worth 0.5 magic crystals. And those below 5 points aren't magic crystals, but magic crystal powder. They can't be consumed and can only be used as spellcasting ingredients... What's the logic behind this?"
"Now, 139 diamonds are equivalent to... let's do the math... 475 magic crystals!"
To Fang Yu's surprise, in the main plane mentioned by Professor Jorz, the color and cut of diamonds would not affect their unit value. Only the flaws and cracks in the diamonds would have a negative impact on their unit value.
So, the most suitable one is actually the rough diamond?
It seems like I really need to try cultured diamonds.
Maybe... when I have enough funds, I can acquire a cultured diamond company?
Fang Yu studied finance, and from a purely business perspective, he is actually not very optimistic about the cultured diamond industry.
Since last year, as several cultured diamond production companies in Yuzhou have successively cultivated gem-grade diamonds, the trend of cultured diamonds has become very popular.
The global market size of jewelry-grade diamonds is also around 100 billion US dollars. Now countless investors and cultured diamond companies are gearing up to subvert this industry and take over this 100 billion US dollar market.
Fang Yu doesn’t think that cultured diamonds cannot replace natural diamonds in the consumer market.
He felt that cultured diamonds were very likely to overturn the entire table of jewelry-grade diamonds. Others didn't get a taste of it, and he didn't get much either.
Of course, it's over, the value of natural diamonds is mostly hyped up. With the impact of artificial diamonds, there's nothing wrong with letting the value of this thing return to normal.
The problem is that if the price of natural diamonds collapses under the impact of cultured diamonds, it actually represents the collapse of the entire diamond market.
The market size of hundreds of billions of dollars is likely to be reduced to less than tens of billions overnight.
Therefore, Fang Yu believes that the boom in cultured diamonds will soon pass, or even cease to exist.
But now diamonds are magic crystals.
If cultured diamonds can also be recognized as magic crystals, what does the small amount of money lost when investing in a cultured diamond company count for?
"My respected great master, you are truly the most generous master in the entire plane. You only need to invest these magic crystals, and the wise Professor Yorz will continue to serve you soberly for 475 days~"
The crystal ball flickered alternately with yellow and bright gold light, and Fang Yu felt that the frequency of the flickering was almost the same as that of a dog wagging its tail.
Fang Yu picked up a 30-point diamond at random and threw it into the hole on the top of the pomelo.
"Oh oh oh, it's in~ It's so comfortable~ I want more, hurry up, give it all to me~"
Fang Yu was puzzled. He hadn't even been shown any Japanese movies, so why did he say such vicious words?
Although Youzi has no gender, her voice sounds like that of a man. The house has poor sound insulation, and if the neighbors hear it, they might think there are two gays living here.
Fortunately, Yuzu spoke the universal language, which others could not understand.
Neighbor: These two gay guys turned out to be foreigners!
"Pa" Fang Yu couldn't help but slapped Youzi.
"Oh! Master, why did you hit me?" Professor Jorz said aggrievedly.
grass!
Fang Yu's face darkened, it looked even more like them.
Fang Yu had no choice but to ignore this stupid ball and collect all the diamonds.
"Huh? Aren't these all for me?" It's strange that although Yuzu doesn't have a face, she can feel the disappointment on the face of the crystal ball.
"Wait until you use up this magic crystal. I still have a use for the rest." Fang Yu ignored Professor Jorz who was mumbling and put the jewelry box back into his sports backpack.
It’s not that I’m worried about it being unsafe, but it’s mainly because it takes 100 units of magic crystals to open the switch of the Lorin Tower. I don’t know when Fang Yu might open it next time, so it’s more convenient to carry it with me.
Yes, Fang Yu is not planning to switch immediately.
After all, one switch costs one hundred ten-point diamonds or twenty thirty-point diamonds (see Chapter 22), so it should be worthwhile to go there.
I am not so short of money at the moment, and exchanging diamonds for gold is not so urgent.
After all, there is still a little distance to go before becoming a level 1 arcane mage, so it’s not too late to switch after upgrading.
I haven't met the two prerequisites for upgrading yet. The magic power limit of 8 units is still a little short, and the mental strength of 12 units has not yet been broken through.
For the sake of convenience in calculation, Fang Yu calls the magic power required to perform a 0-ring trick without using a Rubik's Cube 1 unit of magic power.
Currently, Fang Yu's magic unit is about 5. Without using the magic cube, he can perform 5 0-ring tricks.
Using the magic cube to cast spells, you can perform 11-12 tricks in one meditation cycle.
Fang Yu calculated that if he meditated three times a day, it would take at least three days to increase his magic power limit to 8 units.
As for the mental strength of 12, Fang Yu is now going to try whether the "Buffy Training Method" is useful.
Fang Yu opened his notebook, edited several audio clips in reverse order, and then added some car horns, thunder and lightning sounds, etc. to regenerate an audio file.
"When spiritual power resonates with the magic network, since visual, auditory, and tactile interference can help increase spiritual power, let's try hearing first."
Fang Yu put on the headphones, and all kinds of messy and noisy sounds suddenly filled his ear canals.
Fang Yu's face was calm, his eyes looking straight ahead, entering the sea of consciousness.
Due to the interference of noise, Fang Yu felt that the speed of entering the sea of consciousness was a few seconds slower than before.
It seems to be of some use.
According to the requirements of Buffy's training method, Fang Yu gradually extended his mental power to the surrounding space.
He could sense that there were countless magic network nodes that were constantly flickering in the space.
He can now basically confirm that the magic network nodes have certain quantum properties.
In quantum mechanics, it is impossible to determine the exact position and speed of microscopic particles at the same time; all there is is probability.
The nodes of the magic network are also unobservable.
In the same space, if you don't observe it, you can feel the existence of magic network nodes when casting a spell, but if you observe it, you will not find any magic network nodes.
Therefore, arcane mages do not locate and connect to leyline nodes through observation.
But through perception.
Perceive the surrounding magic network nodes, lock this space through mental power or will, and then throw your mental power into it aimlessly. By adjusting the frequency of your mental power, you can resonate with a certain magic network node around you, and your mental power will naturally connect with the magic network node.
Every arcane mage has communicated with the node during his first successful meditation, and Fang Yu is no exception.
However, after communicating with the node, the node projection he outlined in the sea of consciousness inexplicably developed itself and turned into a Rubik's Cube.
Fang Yu released all his mental energy into the surrounding space, carefully adjusting its frequency.
Although the work became more difficult due to the interference of noise, it didn't take Fang Yu long to complete the connection between his mental power and a node.
This is also the limit of the number of nodes that can be connected during the apprenticeship stage.
What Fang Yu needs to do now is to maintain the connection with this node as long as possible. The longer the connection time, the higher the mental strength required.
Therefore, maintaining the connection as long as possible until it completely exceeds his endurance limit and then disconnecting it can effectively improve his mental strength.
This requires him to keep the frequency of his mental power stable at this frequency.
After all, humans are not semiconductor radios. With a turn of the knob, 99.9 MHz traffic music broadcast welcomes you. It is not easy to keep mental power at a fixed frequency.
It is especially difficult when disturbed by various irregular noises.
Fortunately, concentration is Fang Yu's strong point. Although the sudden sound of car horns in the headphones made the not-so-strong connection a little precarious a few times, Fang Yu still kept his composure and did not disconnect.
About half an hour later, Fang Yu felt that the fluctuations transmitted from the magic network nodes were getting stronger and stronger, and seemed to be about to exceed his limit.
Fang Yu gritted his teeth and held on for another two minutes, then his vision went dark and the connection between his mental power and the magic network node was completely severed.
"Huh~" Fang Yu wiped the sweat from his head. Although this training did not involve any physical torture, the mental burden of maintaining concentration at a certain level for a long time made him feel more tired than doing squats for two hours or talking to Wang Xiaoya for a whole night.
"Yuzu, Yuzu, come here." Fang Yu called out to Professor Yoelz who was watching TV.
"Now take a look at my mental strength. Has it improved?"
Professor Yorz paused the playing of "Tiny Times" and chattered, "Ah, my respected master. I never thought that this "Tiny Times" would tell the story of ordinary people, without anyone possessing extraordinary abilities. I never imagined that an ordinary person could have such rich emotional conflicts. Well, this is very good, and the friendship and love between these four girls are also very touching, but I still think Hua Wan Gu is superior."
"Hurry up and show me the strength of your mental power. Stop talking so much nonsense." Fang Yu urged unhappily.
"Yes, my master." Professor Jorz agreed weakly, and then Fang Yu felt the feeling of being wrapped in spider silk again.
"Your current mental strength is still 11, but compared to the last time I performed the identification spell on you in Lorin Tower, your mental strength has increased a little." After Professor Yoelz finished speaking, he flew to the living room and prepared to continue watching TV.
Fang Yu pressed it down and said, "Wait a minute, let me ask you again. At this rate of growth, how many more times do I need to do the Buffy Training Method to raise my mental strength to 12?"
A few silvery spots appeared within Professor Yorz's sphere, and he was clearly thinking, "About 100 times?"
"One hundred times?" Fang Yu's eyes widened. "Why would it take so long?"
