I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 151

Chapter 151

“Village Chief, will the laboratory provide elemental materials?”

Faced with Ding Shan’s question, Fang Bai pondered for a moment, then said,

“Yes, it will. Each person will be provided with one liter of elemental materials per day for free use.

The materials can only be used in the laboratory and cannot be taken out.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this, and after thinking for a moment, Ding Shan said,

“Village Chief, one liter is not enough!”

Fang Bai glanced at Ding Shan and said with a smile,

“If you want more elemental materials, you can. Everyone gets one liter.

You just need to use your experiments, knowledge, ability, and charm to convince others. As long as you can get them to voluntarily participate in your experiment, you can use more elemental materials.

If ten people participate, you’ll have ten liters. Not only that, but for every person who participates in your experiment, I’ll give you another liter of elemental materials as a subsidy.

How about it?

As long as you have the ability to convince everyone, you can use eighty liters of elemental materials a day. Accumulate for three days, and you can have two hundred and forty liters of elemental materials. That’s enough for you, right?”

“Enough, enough.”

Ding Shan nodded happily, and Fang Bai smiled, immediately starting to allocate the elemental materials.

One spell scroll can be sold for at least one liter of elemental materials, and compared to crystal cores and elemental materials, these people prefer to keep the crystal cores and use elemental materials to purchase.

A mere two hundred and forty liters of elemental materials is only equivalent to two hundred and forty spell scrolls. Fang Bai is not short of them and can easily afford it.

Ding Shan watched as mage apprentices formed teams and entered different laboratories or discussion rooms. He glanced at Luo Qing, who was also staying put. The two looked at each other and immediately started discussing.

It seemed that they were planning to start exchanging ideas in this large conference room. As they talked, they couldn’t help but go to the podium and start writing and drawing.

Fang Bai stood by with his arms crossed, one hand supporting his chin. The words and three-dimensional spell structures they drew on the whiteboard each occupied half of the board, and it was about to run out of space.

Seeing this, Fang Bai had an idea. A whiteboard from an empty discussion room floated over and landed next to them.

As if they hadn’t noticed anything, the two were immersed in their intense discussion and went straight to the other whiteboard to continue writing.

Fang Bai pondered as he looked at the words and the spell structures they drew.

“This is interesting.”

Fang Bai murmured. The words and spell structures they wrote down vaguely showed signs of summarizing patterns, all of which showed that they had seen a lot of spell structures and spell models.

Especially Luo Qing. If Ding Shan’s ideas were only focused on explosions, which was impressive, then the depth and maturity of some of Luo Qing’s thinking and models made even Fang Bai fall into deep thought.

Although many seemed to be just Luo Qing’s bold guesses and predictions, the accuracy of these bold guesses was too high.

Fang Bai still felt a sense of systematic, familiar style from it. Through some of his guesses, it was as if he saw a system hidden in the mist.

“This style is too familiar. It’s almost identical to the mage architecture and mage tower construction concepts I encountered in the manuscript, with a high degree of repetition.

Luo Qing is hiding his true abilities. No, that’s not the right way to put it. It should be said that Luo Qing has already come into contact with systematic knowledge. Now he’s pretending to know nothing, then mixing some of the knowledge he’s encountered with his own ideas, and presenting it as his own genius bold argument and speculation, and finally researching together!”

Fang Bai instantly understood this and confirmed something he had suspected before.

“Luo Qing definitely still has something from the Mage Tower ruins, and it’s not a specific item, nor is it a specific research book.

It’s definitely some kind of functional or entertaining book with certain concepts, spell models, or architectures on it. It has results, but no principles or processes.

And Luo Qing’s research is only superficial, so he wants to take advantage of this precious opportunity to borrow Ding Shan’s and my abilities to analyze and learn together.

Politically, he’s also showcasing his abilities in front of me to gain greater importance.”

Fang Bai quietly looked at Luo Qing, who was trying his best to hide and thought he was doing it unnoticed. He then looked at the increasingly fascinating knowledge and model architecture on the blackboard, and then at some of Ding Shan’s ideas.

Compared to Luo Qing, Ding Shan’s ideas were really immature and full of loopholes, but at the same time, they were advanced and in-depth. Ding Shan was indeed a genius, and this was the normal performance a genius should have.

“One genius, one little cheat.”

Fang Bai looked at the two whiteboards with two very attractive models and patterns, and he laughed, bringing another whiteboard over.

“I think there are still some flaws in your ideas. Look, if you do it this way here…”

Fang Bai directly joined in, writing theories on the whiteboard, drawing spell structures, and at the same time constructing them with his mental power, demonstrating and explaining the principles as he went.

An expert can be recognized as soon as they make a move.

When Fang Bai first started speaking, Luo Qing and Ding Shan were just subconsciously respectful. But as Fang Bai continued, the two immediately perked up, their brains working at high speed, thinking about the ideas Fang Bai had put forward.

After thinking it over, Ding Shan couldn’t help but say,

“No, no, that’s not right.”

Ding Shan held a black marker and wrote rapidly on the whiteboard, drawing and calculating. He even started to incorporate some knowledge of analyzing spell nodes, which surprised Fang Bai, but then he was completely immersed in it.

Seeing Ding Shan and Fang Bai discussing intensely, Luo Qing immediately rolled up his sleeves and joined in excitedly.

And what he was saying now, besides what he had learned from the Mage Tower blueprints, was more of his own comprehension, speculation, and knowledge.

In an instant, the intensity of the discussion increased by several levels. The three of them were so excited that if you listened casually, it might even sound like they were arguing, especially when Luo Qing and Ding Shan couldn’t help but roll up their sleeves.

This made the mage apprentices watching on the side tremble and not dare to make a sound.

“That’s not right. It was said that everyone is a mage apprentice, everyone is a newbie, everyone is just starting to learn spells. How come these two are directly discussing intensely with Fang Bai?

These two show-offs are here to stomp on us newbies, right?”

One person had just said this when, as they were trembling, suddenly another mage apprentice pushed aside the people in front of him and strode in. Under the wide eyes of the people behind him,

In just a moment, he also perfectly integrated into the heated discussion. Although he spoke less, only uttering a sentence after Fang Bai, Ding Shan, and Luo Qing had discussed for a while, and he had to think for a long time each time, he did participate, which made the mage apprentices on the side look at each other in dismay.

At this time, two more interested people walked over. The mage apprentice who had just spoken couldn’t help but say,

“So I misunderstood, it’s just me who’s a newbie?”

Several mage apprentices beside him looked at the group of people on the podium who could discuss with Fang Bai. They recalled that during the self-introduction earlier, everyone said they were bad, everyone said it was their first time, everyone said they were newbies asking for guidance. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority at the time.

But… it seemed like these were the people who said they were the worst, the ultimate newbies.

This person fell into deep thought.
