Liu Linchuan stared at the screen, carefully observing Roy's next move. While creating heraldry and drawing talismans had the same goal, they were fundamentally different, so he'd better observe more.
Roy held a magic crystal pen and slowly began to carve on an energy board, but the person explaining was Mr. Butler.
"When drawing magic patterns, you must concentrate completely, so I'll continue explaining it to you. First, infuse your mental power into the magic crystal pen. Then you can freely carve on the energy plate without worrying about its hardness, just like Roy is doing now."
Sure enough, although Roy's movements were very slow, they were very smooth, as if he was not carving on a hard metal plate, but writing on soft tofu, without any lag.
Liu Linchuan's gaze followed his magic crystal pen and noticed that the tip of his pen never left the energy board.
"When drawing, you must pay attention to completing it in one go. There must not be any pauses. Otherwise, it will directly affect the integrity of the magic pattern. In more serious cases, it may cause the energy plate to explode."
Hearing this, Liu Linchuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had drawn thousands of talismans and would never make such a low-level mistake.
"People who have just awakened their mental power, or whose mental power level is not strong, must not force themselves by rushing. You can buy a metal plate for practice. After you can completely draw the entire magic pattern with the magic crystal pen, try using the energy plate. Otherwise, it is easy to get into danger." Mr. Butler specifically reminded them to prevent those who are too impatient from harming others and themselves.
Mental strength...
Liu Linchuan suddenly remembered that this body's mental strength was extremely poor, and he didn't know whether his guess could be realized. The so-called mental strength in this world might be equivalent to divine consciousness.
Although his spiritual consciousness is damaged now, his realm is still there. Perhaps the test during the physical examination can improve his mental strength level. It seems that he has to hurry up and get a physical examination.
A moment later, Roy's magic crystal pen finally stopped drawing. The basic magic pattern that could enhance his power was complete. Suddenly, the magic pattern glowed with a dazzling cyan light. When the light dissipated, the originally dull energy plate had transformed into a diamond-shaped piece of metal with a faint cyan hue. The intricate patterns on its surface made it look like a fine work of art.
"As expected of Roy," Mr. Butler smiled and stroked his beard. "Just by looking at the radiant energy, I can tell this enhanced emblem must be of a high rank."
There was a burst of praise all around.
"Mr. Butler, you're so kind! If you were to create a better coat of arms yourself, you'd surely be able to create one," Roy replied modestly. Only then did his features finally appear fully on camera. He was a man of exceptional elegance and grace, his lips curved in a gentle smile, a man who was easily approachable.
Although the image on the virtual network can be freely set, the appearance of people who have been officially certified, such as the Heraldry Master, is consistent with their real-life appearance.
"Oh my God! Master Roy is so handsome!" Many people were attracted by the handsome man who appeared on the screen and blushed quietly. Most of them were women, but there were also some men.
"He's so young, handsome, and an A-level heraldry master. This is the first time I've seen such a perfect man like him." Liu Linchuan heard a young girl say to her best friend.
"Yes, yes!" Another girl also echoed softly, and the two of them laughed and talked a lot.
But for some reason, when he heard the term "perfect man," the image that popped up in Liu Linchuan's mind was Hall Williams's strikingly handsome face. He quickly shook his head and focused his attention on Mr. Butler on the screen.
Mr. Butler raised his hand slightly, and an energy tester appeared on the table. It was an intelligent terminal specifically designed to measure the energy level of heraldry, mainly composed of an energy conversion system and a display system.
Roy personally placed the emblem in the groove above the tester. After pressing the green start button, the LCD screen below lit up, and a row of numbers jumped rapidly, finally freezing at 98722 joules.
"The energy level is very high, very close to S-grade." Mr. Butler led the applause and said, "The simulated data value of the emblem's energy in the network may be higher than in the real world, but the difference will not exceed 1,000 joules. Therefore, it can be determined that the emblem made by Roy is of A-grade."
"Next, let's test the attributes of the emblem."
After Mr. Butler finished speaking, Roy pressed a red button next to the green start button. The value on the scale bar at the bottom began to rise and finally stopped at 40.
"The attribute added by the emblem is a 40% increase in strength." This is already a very high value among A-level emblems.
"Wow! Master Roy is so awesome!" The person sitting in front of Liu Linchuan started talking in a low voice with his friend. From the sound of his voice, he sounded like a lively boy.
"That's right. An A-rank reinforcement emblem like this can keep a mecha in its enhanced state for at least 50 hours."
"Yeah! A 40% power boost! I wonder when I'll be able to own an A-rank emblem like this? I've always wanted to upgrade the emblem on my mecha."
"You're dreaming! An ordinary A-level emblem costs more than 20,000 federal coins, and this one was made by a master himself! It's close to an S-level emblem! You can't buy it for just 20,000 or 30,000!" The boy's friend almost jumped up.
"That's just me saying... Don't get excited..." The boy waved his hand hastily. "I wonder if you'd sell this virtual emblem, Master? I could use it on a virtual mecha on the Star Network to satisfy my curiosity!"
"Right! The price of a virtual coat of arms shouldn't be too high. Why don't we go and ask secretly after the lecture?" The other person thought it was right. Making coats of arms online only requires mental effort, and there are not so many interferences and uncertainties like in reality. The price must be much cheaper, maybe even less than one-tenth of it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Linchuan's heart moved slightly. Can virtual emblems be sold?
"Okay, now does anyone have any questions about heraldry?" Mr. Butler asked with a smile.
This time, more people raised their hands, and their hands were raised densely, especially the two people sitting right in front of him, who raised their hands high, as if they wanted to stand up.
"Ah, time is limited. We can't answer all of these questions one by one," Roy said helplessly. "So we'll just answer three questions here. Others can post their questions on the message board on the Heraldry Guild website, and one of the guild's heralds will answer them for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their hands even more enthusiastically, hoping that they could be one of the three lucky ones.
Mr. Butler first chose a girl who was wearing black clothes and had a ponytail. She looked very heroic. "Good girl, tell me your problem."
"Hello, Masters." The girl stood up and bowed politely toward the podium. "I'm a mecha combatant. I'm currently using a YC-147 mecha. What kind of emblem would be best for it?"
Master Butler nodded with a smile. "The YC-147 is a lightweight mecha, so its defense is relatively weak. I suggest strengthening the defense of the fastest mecha first, and then gradually adding emblems that enhance strength and speed. I believe this will greatly improve the mecha's combat effectiveness."
"Thank you, Master!" The girl sat down happily.
Then it was Roy's turn to choose. He chose a large man who was standing close to the podium. The man's face flushed with excitement. He stood up and said in a booming voice, "Master Roy! I wonder if you could sell me that virtual emblem you just made?"
Roy had a look of surprise on his face. He probably didn't expect that someone would want to buy the virtual emblem he had just used for demonstration.
"Oh! He actually got there first!" The person sitting right in front of Liu Linchuan almost jumped up.
His friend, however, looked at the large man on the screen and murmured, "That man looks a little familiar..."
"Ah! Isn't this the Violent Bear Mark who won the Rookie Mecha Competition 13 Star Domain Regional Qualifiers?!" Someone also recognized the man.
"Ah! It's really him!" The photos of each regional qualifying champion participating this year will be displayed on the official website of the StarCraft Rookie Mecha Competition, so it is not surprising that Mark was recognized.
The Rookie Mech Competition is a popular event across the interstellar world. Held every three years, it's open only to students under the age of 25. Not only the Federation, but even the Empire participates, and the champion chosen represents not only the glory of the school but also the strength of the nation!
Due to the large number of participants and the difficulty in arranging a venue, all competitions until the finals were held online. Mark won the regional qualifiers for his star field. If he wanted to advance to the next round, this virtual emblem would play a significant role. No wonder he was so excited.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the venue, all centered around Mark.
"This is just a virtual emblem, not worth much. If you really want it, then..." Roy originally thought that this virtual emblem was only made with some mental energy and was not worth much. If he really wanted it, then he could just give it to him for free. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted loudly by someone in the audience.
"Master Roy! I request to bid for this emblem!" A man sitting in the back suddenly stood up and said. Although he was sitting far away, his voice was so loud that people in the front row could hear it clearly.
"That's right! The highest bidder wins!" Many people echoed.
There are virtual emblems for sale on Starnet, of course, but most are heraldry artists practicing their craft. Emblems of this quality are hard to come by! Both the energy level and the additional attributes are very close to S-level emblems! Once equipped on a mech, the power it can unleash will be close to S-level! Who knows, it might even play a crucial role in the next round of competition. How can you miss out on such a good thing?
