Becoming a Lord in Another World Starts With Farming – Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Crystal Ball Spiritualization Technique

The mage’s system and magical runes had given Owen quite a bit of knowledge. Although it wasn’t a complete system due to Bryan’s limited strength and knowledge, the foundation was solid, and it had some decent accumulation in several branches. These were all Bryan’s decades of accumulation.

However, what Owen truly valued was a technique that Bryan didn’t pay much attention to: crystal ball spiritualization, or rather, the Spiritualization Technique.

The Spiritualization Technique was a fairly mature technique and also the core technology for constructing mage towers. From the smallest brick and tile to the largest mana well and tower spirit, all were products of the Spiritualization Technique.

However, very few mages truly devoted their energy to researching this area because the investment scale of this research was simply too large; it was not something one or two mages could afford.

Currently, only the Mage Guild and the Royal Mages were known to conduct large-scale research in this area. Even if other organizations conducted related research, the scale couldn’t compare to those two, and most of them chose to focus on a single aspect.

However, although the Spiritualization Technique was important, getting started was quite simple.

To put it bluntly, the Spiritualization Technique was about spiritualizing matter, changing its essence, and during this process, performing secondary settings. This was usually done by carving runes with psychic power, so it was a bit like enchanting, but there were differences.

Crystal ball spiritualization was an important branch of the Spiritualization Technique because crystal balls had the highest affinity for the technique and the greatest effect. Therefore, various functions were derived, among which the most important were storage, communication, computation, and positioning.

For example, Bryan’s crystal ball had functions such as projection, recording, storage, and communication.

If it were to be further improved, it would become a computer, a server, or even a supercomputer.

Although the crystal ball spiritualization technique that Bryan possessed wasn’t the best, the principles were complete, and that was enough.

In Owen’s understanding, in the process of creating the crystal ball spiritualization, psychic power was the tool, and runes were the language. They could be considered as the keyboard and computer language. As for whether you create a computer that can only perform basic arithmetic or a supercomputer that is a national treasure, it depends on your ability.

Owen took out a bunch of crystal balls and began to experiment. As expected, he failed.

There was no problem with carving with psychic power. With his psychic control as a mid-level puppeteer, it would be difficult for him to fail, but there was a problem with the rune combination.

Simple rune combinations were fine, but once they became complex, conflicts and collapses would occur.

Obviously, runes were just the foundation for mages. To truly utilize the power of runes, one needed to master various rune combinations.

From the simple fireball technique to the complex space teleportation, they were all different applications of rune combinations.

Owen’s problem was that he only knew the runes. Copying them was fine, but creating his own wouldn’t work.

But simply imitating Bryan’s crystal ball was meaningless to Owen.

After thinking for a long time, Owen suddenly had an idea. Runes were just symbols and a language, but who said there could only be one language?

Taking out the intelligent core of a puppet, Owen calmed his mind and carefully infiltrated it with his enhanced psychic power, layer by layer. He confirmed that his guess was correct. In fact, the principles of the puppet’s intelligent core and crystal ball spiritualization were similar, but the principles of the puppet’s intelligent core were too complex and far less convenient than crystal ball spiritualization.

The next step was simple. Owen’s own level wasn’t high, but he had the system as a treasure trove. As long as he knew how to copy and paste, there was nothing he couldn’t do.

The simplest method was to directly copy the intelligent core. It didn’t require spending any Progress Value at all. With just a crystal ball and some psychic power, Owen could obtain a crystal ball version of the intelligent core, freeing him from his reliance on Progress Value.

Next, Owen also tried copying computer systems and programs, attempting to create a magical crystal version of a computer.

Owen had never exchanged for many modern products, mainly because the compatibility of industrial items with this world was too low, requiring more Progress Value.

For example, the refined iron material in the world of martial arts was similar in quality to industrial stainless steel, but the price of the latter was several times that of the former.

The higher the level of industrialization, the higher the exchange price. But now there was a new change.

After importing the computer system into the crystal ball, the functions remained the same. However, the carrier had changed from a computer to a crystal ball, the control method had become voice and projected keyboard, but it operated without any issues, running perfectly. Moreover, because the carrier was superior, it ran even more smoothly.

“Interesting, maybe it can really be achieved.” Owen fiddled with the crystal ball in his hand, thinking about something, then he went to the third floor of the dungeon with some impatience.

This was the future Demon Lord’s Hall, but unfortunately, construction had never started. Aside from storing things, it hadn’t been used for anything.

Among the stored items, the most eye-catching was a giant crystal ball the size of an eight immortals table.

This giant crystal ball came from the second floor of the ruins and was used as an artificial sun. Because it was extremely rare, Owen had stored it here as a treasure.

Although it was huge, it couldn’t change the fact that it was also a crystal ball. Therefore, Owen planned to spiritualize it.

During the spiritualization process, Owen was surprised to find that this giant crystal ball wasn’t as simple as he thought. At least it wasn’t just for illumination. That was just his own misunderstanding. In fact, the technology content of this thing was very high.

Unfortunately, Owen’s ability was limited. Although he discovered the problem, he couldn’t solve it at all.

Owen simply gave up on researching it himself and started importing data into the giant crystal ball with the help of the system.

Although Owen didn’t need to lead the massive data flow, as the medium, he still endured tremendous pressure and didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest. He tried his best to inject his psychic power into it. Only in this way could he increase the affinity between the two, making it easier for him to control it in the future.

The entire process lasted for ten days. Because his psychic power was continuously consumed and couldn’t be interrupted, Owen, who was unable to take care of himself, had to strip naked and then have his Shikigami, the Slime Queen, envelop him.

The Slime Queen would turn food and water into a paste and directly deliver it into his stomach. As for excrement, it would be decomposed before reaching the rectum. During the entire process, the Slime Queen constantly wriggled, massaging Owen’s entire body from the inside out, preventing his muscles from atrophying or his internal organs from becoming sluggish.

After enduring it with great difficulty, Owen, whose psychic power was severely depleted, fell directly into a deep sleep within the Slime Queen. When he woke up, he was still a bit groggy and had to take some invigorating magic potions.

Because he was in a weightless state inside the Slime Queen, Owen couldn’t stand steady for a while. He felt lightheaded and had to have the Slime Queen carry him. Later, he felt it was inconvenient and unsightly, so he asked the Slime Queen to transform her belly into a large pouch. Owen squatted inside like a baby kangaroo, waiting for his body to recover.

Although being naked and squatting inside the translucent pouch on the Slime Queen’s belly gave him a strange feeling, it didn’t stop Owen from staring at the giant crystal ball with slight excitement, its light constantly fluctuating as if it were alive.
