I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 162

Chapter 162

In the large conference room, Ding Shan and Luo Qing were surrounded by a bustling group of over a dozen people.

Out of a total of forty Mage Apprentices, including Ding Shan and Luo Qing, there were a full fifteen present!

After they collected thirty liters of fire elemental materials from Fang Bai, Fang Bai couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.

Evidently, after the intense discussions with Fang Bai the previous day, their abilities had gained recognition from many Mage Apprentices. This was also the reason why they were able to gather so many Mage Apprentices and accumulate so many elemental materials.

Based on Fang Bai’s deductions, these two already possessed the ability to cast spells and independently improve spells.

Ding Shan might genuinely be purely talented.

Luo Qing, on the other hand, might be a combination of talent and some kind of opportunity, which was why he sometimes seemed even more dazzling.

However, Ding Shan was logical and meticulous, while Luo Qing, though bursting with inspiration, was not to be outdone.

At this moment, although the two had already established a cooperative relationship, it was clear that they were still silently competing and vying for dominance.

“I’ll go first!”

“Why should you? I’ll go first!”

“I’m the one who proposed this experiment!”

“But the parts you perfected aren’t as many as mine! Listen to me!”

Luo Qing rolled up his sleeves, and upon seeing this, Ding Shan twisted his neck and rubbed his wrists. The other Mage Apprentices behind them quickly intervened.

“Gentlemen, gentlemen, Mages should have the demeanor of Mages. Look at the Village Chief’s demeanor. Wouldn’t arguing like this diminish your demeanor?

It’s better to take a step back and display the elegant and noble demeanor of a Mage.”

Luo Qing was taken aback upon hearing this. Ding Shan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and then both of them smiled.

“You’re right. Then you go first.”

“Why should I? If anyone’s going to yield, it should be me yielding to you. You go first!”

As their voices fell, their sleeves were rolled up once again. Fang Bai, upon seeing this, silently facepalmed, speechless.

The two main leaders of this batch of Mage Apprentices had become like this. Fang Bai had a bad feeling.

This batch of Mages might be a lost cause.

“Should we retrain a new batch?”

“You unrefined warrior, no, no, I have to turn them around.

How can the Mages I trained resort to fighting just because they can’t agree?

Mages have to be elegant, elegant to the point where even in battle, they’re holding spell books and casting spells, with their hair and clothes remaining perfectly in place.

So…”

“Zap!”

Two Lightning Spells struck the ground at Ding Shan and Luo Qing’s feet, instantly sending them leaping towards the door.

Turning his head, Fang Bai was seen lying on a rocking chair, reading a book, bathed in sunlight, without even lifting his head.

Everything seemed so peaceful.

Luo Qing and Ding Shan exchanged glances, suddenly understanding.

“This is what a Mage is like.”

After saying this, Luo Qing added another sentence.

“It would be even better if the Village Chief wasn’t holding the book upside down.”

Fang Bai, who was rocking in the rocking chair, stiffened slightly. Without changing his expression, he flipped the book around and glanced at Luo Qing, pointing his finger at him like a gun.

“Zap!”

Luo Qing suddenly had a bad feeling and instantly dodged, appearing two meters away.

However, a bolt of lightning happened to strike from two meters away, as if Luo Qing had actively gone to receive it.

Zap!

Fortunately, the lightning’s power seemed to be minimal, only slightly charring Luo Qing’s face and making his hair stand on end, with a wisp of black smoke slowly rising.

Looking back at Fang Bai, he gently blew on the “muzzle” of his finger-gun and continued reading.

Just as Luo Qing opened his mouth to say something, Ding Shan pondered for a moment, covered Luo Qing’s mouth, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and walked away. The other apprehensive apprentices quickly followed.

Watching them leave, Fang Bai shook his head slightly, not holding any hope for their upcoming experiments.

Any one of them conducting the experiment alone might not have any problems, but Luo Qing and Ding Shan, with their similar skill levels, had to insist on working together.

Fang Bai shook his head slightly, his Mental Power spreading out to observe every individual’s discussions and experiments.

These pieces of information continuously flowed into Fang Bai’s mind through his Mental Power, not being processed by him, but simply and truthfully recording every sentence, every word, every experimental plan, every experimental detail into the information storage area of his Two-Ring Spell Slot.

These were all resources for Fang Bai.

Whether it was successful experiments or failed experiments, mature speeches or naive guesses, they all held their own value for Fang Bai.

Some might eliminate a wrong option for him, some might accumulate experimental experience for him, and some might broaden his thinking. Ultimately, they were all useful and could be stored for slow digestion.

Initially, Fang Bai still devoted some of his attention to their discussions and experiments, his projections entering their laboratories and discussion rooms to communicate with them and even answer their questions.

Among these experiments, there were also three or four with good ideas, and among them, Luo Qing and Ding Shan’s experimental projects particularly piqued Fang Bai’s interest.

Their experimental projects were still the ones they had proposed on the first day.

That is, whether elemental materials could be used to accelerate casting speed, simplify the casting process, and whether elemental materials could amplify the power of corresponding spells.

Luo Qing spoke with conviction, seemingly very confident.

Fang Bai estimated that this was most likely feasible, and he had probably seen similar techniques during his opportunities.

This made Fang Bai even more interested.

However, after observing for a while, Fang Bai’s research on spell architecture reached a relatively critical juncture. He immediately withdrew his main focus, leaving only a trace of Mental Power to record the discussion and experimental process of all the Mage Apprentices, storing them first without processing them through his brain.

On Fang Bai’s side, his Mental Power had completely merged into every spell model, every spell structure, every spell node of the spell architecture.

At this moment, he vaguely sensed a field within the spell architecture.

The field was formless and imperceptible. Even Fang Bai had only theoretically proven its existence and learned of its existence, but he himself was still unable to perceive it.

He could only verify its existence and properties through the mutual influence between spell nodes, spell structures, and spell models.

Therefore, although Fang Bai was already quite familiar with the field, he had never perceived it, let alone seen it.

But at this moment, when Fang Bai’s Mental Power completely merged into this spell architecture, he vaguely sensed the existence of the field.

A field that enveloped all spell models and encompassed the entire spell architecture.

Within this field, numerous distinct fields intertwined, influenced, pulled, countered, and amplified each other, yet ultimately formed a stable and peaceful field, forming this architecture.

At this moment, Fang Bai suddenly understood.

“Yes, different spell nodes have different fields, but they can still form spell structures.

So why can’t spell models?”
