In the end, Bei Gaoyang said nothing.

Ding Jian had no idea that he was at a fork in the road of destiny. After the group left, he shook his head in confusion and plunged into intense and orderly work.

He likes this job, yes, very much.

The tempering circle is addictive. After a large amount of mental energy is consumed, you can slowly recover by visualizing the "star map". There will be pain but also some different kinds of pleasure in the process. Once you adapt, your body and even your soul will love it.

'If you use this method, the pain is no longer pain, but like taking a drug.

This comes from the instinctive impulse of life.

After spending a whole morning inspecting this so-called special equipment manufacturing factory, Bei Gaoyang compared it with his own 'magic smart workshop' and evaluated it as a 'handmade workshop' at best, unlike the 'magic' that has been realized.

Compared with the automated and intelligent refining system of the prop production process, primitive manpower is still used here, and the gap is not as big as usual.

Once the freshness wears off, it'll be like that.

Before coming, he said that he hoped to settle down in Shanghai.

This is no ordinary home.

After understanding his true intentions, the leadership team behind the 'Project Zero' was extremely shocked. The news was quickly passed to the highest level, and the instructions they received were to make every effort to promote it, to satisfy it with all their efforts, and to ensure that safety and confidentiality were perfect.

Of course, he has the final say on where this family is located. Originally, he had no idea. With Ding Jian as a person, and considering that there may be many people with similar outstanding talents, he is ready to turn this so-called 'family' into a family.

Stay nearby.

At least there is a handicraft workshop here, and the natural evaporation of the magic solution will also bring a little magic concentration, which is better than nothing.

If more ‘Ding Jian’ are found in the future, the demonic environment is successfully built, and Xiao Ai’s clone can survive for a long time... maybe we can actually create an [Earth Demonic Network].

After the Magic Network Access Equipment 2.0 drawings were handed over, Bei Gaoyang wandered around the factory area and surrounding areas. Yu Qingdong drove the car, accompanied by only two taciturn men in suits.

When passing by an abandoned village, he asked Yu Qingdong to park the car, pushed the door open, stood on the overgrown country road, looked at the mountains in the distance, took a deep breath of the air that could not be called fresh, and said, "Is this a good place?"

Yu Qingdong couldn't see what was good about this ghost place. It was just a desolate slope, but it was remote and hidden enough that it couldn't be found on the map.

“Well, the scenery is nice”

Bei Gaoyang smiled and said, "Then let's settle here!" He casually pointed to a hill in front of him and said, "Just build a small building... How long will it take?"

Yu Qingdong went to see one of the men in suits.

The man in the suit looked embarrassed, and Bei Gaoyang added: "As long as the basic requirements are met as quickly as possible."

What are the basic requirements?

Yu Qingdong gloated over his misfortune and was happy to see these people with higher security levels than him suffer without saying a word.

"Within 24 hours!", another man in a suit replied firmly.

Bei Gaoyang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you."

On the way back, we passed by several large engineering vehicles. Five minutes later, a dozen large trucks loaded with formed steel structure fasteners, plates and other building materials were quietly waiting on the side of the road, waiting for the off-road vehicles to drive onto the main road.

It started with a rumble and charged towards the nameless hilltop.

Before we returned to the factory, another road and bridge construction vehicle was passing by loaded with formed steel plates. Road markings had been drawn on the steel plates, and there were even formed street lamp posts, wires, cables, etc...

——It seems that the two sides have very different understandings of ‘basic requirements’.

Bei Gaoyang watched in silence, and Yu Qingdong curled his lips, mentally complaining about dog lickers and flatterers.

"How many old helmets are there in stock?", he asked.

This was Yu Qingdong’s full-time job. He was distracted and took a moment to answer: “The latest data half an hour ago was 674,389. After the new process formula was delivered, the old process was stopped. If it is necessary to meet the fourth requirement in a short time,

The equipment requirements required for testing...the pressure on the factory is high.”

"Then let's see"

"OK"

After a while, he returned to the workshop. Ding Jianzheng and more than a hundred "skilled workers" were familiar with the tempering process. The inscription was easy to solve. Just change the drawings on the computer. There was no shortcut for this last critical process.

It follows that the smart workshop of Magic Network cannot be moved to the earth.

"Don't disturb them!"

Bei Gaoyang and his entourage stopped at the entrance of the workshop. Looking at the sterile, dust-free, simple and white workshop, it was really noticeable. More than a hundred people were memorizing the drawings attentively, and everyone was extremely serious and serious.

Seeing them, Bei Gaoyang remembered that when he was an apprentice, he also dealt with a large number of such drawings. It was extremely painful at first. Those ghost drawings were his nightmare for a long time. His mental energy was exhausted every day, and he felt that he could draw them at any time.

Sudden death is possible!

Those who are not talented enough will be passed through this level. Those who are qualified will not save one out of ten. This is only the first level... I don’t know how many of these people can pass.

Common sense says that old configurations can be tempered, and new configurations should also be completed after getting familiar with them. This is not the case at all.

The tempering of spell configuration requires the close participation of mental power. After tempering a configuration successfully, the soul and consciousness will form an existing 'imprint'. This imprint is the so-called [spell position]. It is like a molded form.

How can spiritual power, as water, flow along this established river course and change it?

Blow up river embankments to divert river water?

That's suicide!

There is only one solution, which is to build another 'parallel' river channel, that is, to build another [spell slot]. This tests the soul's qualifications. Some people's souls are tough enough and the 'volume' is enough, so they can easily

It is difficult to overcome this difficulty, but most people's souls are relatively thin and loose. Tempering one spell configuration is already the limit, how can you start another one?

This is an innate limitation that has no solution and cannot be changed by any external means, including the gods.

Of course, no matter how outstanding a person's talent is, the tenacity of his soul cannot be compared to that of a real mage. External means cannot interfere, but he can be promoted through self-transcendence and sublimation.

This is how Bei Gaoyang came along. At first he could only memorize a few simple zero-ring tricks, but by memorizing these tricks, his soul aptitudes were tempered through long-term immersion and hard contact, so he surpassed and

After sublimation, you can memorize more and more complex spell configurations.

On the road of magic, there really are no shortcuts. It is one step at a time, which is a great test of a person's talent and qualifications. If the qualifications are not enough, you will not be able to get past the starting point, let alone the future.

Once you have talent, you must have enough concentration and hard work, plus indispensable luck, to climb up this cruel and bloody pyramid of power.

Looking back now, it was really blood and tears, hard work and sweat, which others can hardly imagine and understand.

Therefore, every famous mage is a determined person who will never give up to achieve his goal. Idiots cannot become spellcasters. Guys with no talent but defective temperament will all fall on the way to the starting point.

These people don't need to memorize, they just need to temper according to the drawings, but it doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you just follow the drawings, tempering itself is a kind of memory.

Soon, someone on the scene expressed that they knew how to do it, and a newly engraved helmet was delivered. They each walked into their workstations and started tempering.

"ah!"

Not long after the tempering started, some people held their heads and screamed, while others were frothing at the mouth and fainted. Others had symptoms of varying severity, and all ended in failure.

No one understood the reason, and Bei Gaoyang had no intention of explaining. The workshop was in chaos for a while.

About fifteen minutes later, someone else said they were ready, but Ding Jian was not included.

This time there were seven people. They persisted longer, but got nothing except seven scrapped helmets and wasted magic solution.

Some people began to get anxious, ignoring Bei Gaoyang and others watching outside, and loudly asked these failed people how they felt. After these people described their feelings intermittently, Yu Qingdong asked in a low voice: "Chairman, why is this happening?"

"Not qualified enough!" Bei Gaoyang said.

Yu Qingdong continued to ask, "What does it mean if you are not qualified enough? Is it because you are not smart enough?"

"The qualification to cast spells, the qualification of the soul."

"ah!?"

Yu Qingdong still wanted to ask, but it was obvious that he didn't want to say more and was very serious, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Let them continue and see how many succeed in the end."

"OK"

For the rest of the time, every 'skilled worker' was under great pressure, and unspeakable mystery and weirdness shrouded their hearts. Only a few people were not disturbed from the beginning to the end.

Half an hour later, Ding Jian and the other three people raised their hands and walked into their workstations after receiving permission.

All three of them successfully completed the tempering of their new helmets.

In the end, only these 3 people out of 119 people passed the test. The probability seemed very low, but considering that the formation configuration of the game helmet is more complicated than the zero-ring trick, they did not do any professional training, and they did not know any theoretical knowledge of magic.

And the principle of magic circle...

Being able to memorize two spell configurations, they are already qualified to be called magic apprentices, which means that these three people have already stepped within the threshold of spell casters.

The rest of the time, Bei Gaoyang looked very serious.

He just asked the factory to count all the people who had completed the second tempering in the fourteen workshops, give him a list, and then lock himself in the hotel room.

Outside, there was already an uproar.

It wasn't until dark that Yu Qingdong appeared in front of the guest room with this list.

"Come in!"

He opened the door carefully and took a look inside first. There was no light on inside, and an extremely mysterious fluorescent light flickered on the floor of the guest room.

When I walked in and took a look, I saw some unknown rocks, bones, plants, etc., lit up in a formation similar to a six-pointed star. In the middle of the six-pointed star, a bright red line depicts an extremely strange pattern. At first glance, this pattern looks like a half-open animal.

Opening human eyes, as soon as Yu Qingdong came in, he seemed to be 'targeted' by it, and a chill went straight to his head.
To be continued...
