Master of the Stars

Chapter 402: Creation Teaching (Part 1/2)

Papercut read the situation and gave Du Yong a meaningful look. The intent he meant to convey was to slow down a bit. However, Papercut didn’t understand Du Yong. This neurotic guy was going through a meltdown from having a day’s worth of bitter effort go down the drain. Du Yong would absolutely continue shooting his mouth off.

He began by mentioning how he made adaptive corrections to the magical spell arrays, shooting out a pile of jargon like a machine gun. Then he suddenly began to complain about Frost River Reality’s management. He blathered until he completely finished venting his emotions and had the entire room staring at him. Half were stupefied; half were frustrated.

Hu Huaying saw the issue and wanted to stop Du Yong, but he was unable to stop him in the end. This brother had already sunk knee deep into this. He just spoke in front of everyone in the room to those involved in the mystic arts and said,

"Let me use the projector for a moment."

He fiddled with his wristband and connected the data to the projector. A complicated compositional diagram appeared in the gaming area in the center of the room, dazzling people’s eyes. It was none other than a compositional magical spell array. It appeared rather complete.

The spell array could be divided into four layers. The lines of the overall composition was of a faint blue color, while the symbols at crucial nodes appeared in a dark red and dark gold color. The colors were of the reserved side, yet the composition was quite gorgeous.

"Wow!"

Mo Peng and the others all gasped in amazement. It was a well-pieced and perfectly-orderly array diagram. It gave off quite the artistic feeling. The special symbols, structural forms, and lines were full of the mystical feeling of beauty that said, "It seems pretty awesome even though I don’t understand it." They didn’t understand the theory Du Yong was talking about, but from the image, they were able to feel that what he was talking about was quite shocking. Of course, imagination helped fill in the blank.

Du Yong grew more restless when he saw the diagram. He waved his arm twice, causing the light and shadows of the spell array to distort. It took a moment for the projector to restore it.

"It’s this god damn format. Fuck it!"

Luo Nan was always quite sensitive. He cast a sideways glance over to him after hearing the word ’format’.

"It’s not that format. He’s talking about the file format."

Xie Junping knew what gnawed on Luo Nan’s mind. He saw that his friend was incapable of normal conversation, so he took the initiative to explain, "Our wristbands don’t support the file format of this design diagram. We can only enter read-only mode and look at the results through projection, but the room’s projector is allocated with a computer, so we can make alterations to the file. But we never thought that they would suddenly re-initialize the room; we didn’t have the time to save our changes. The day’s painful efforts are completely gone. Not only that, we also failed to test our changes."

His mood in the VIP room was quite bad, but he had settled down now that he was by Luo Nan’s side. He was acting a bit self-deprecatingly.

"We were so close, okay!?" Du Yong yelled at Xie Junping, his emotions getting the best of him. But his sharp voice lacked force despite its sharpness. "It’s all because of you. Giving up early, canceling."

Xie Junping spoke to him calmly and nicely, "You’ve already tried it over ten times in the past. Don’t you remember? The teacher said that making the exact same mistake over three times in a row is called insanity. You’re just feeling vindictive. I feel that it’s best for you to calm down."

Oh man. It was rare to see Xie Junping reasoning with people.

Luo Nan chuckled to himself while Papercut came over from the side and whispered, "Does anything come to mind when looking at this thing?"

"Well, it’s something that’s not very good."

Luo Nan knew what Papercut was talking about. There was also the same type of spell arrays back at Fudong Main Street’s Frost River Reality. And a member of Acumen College’s Mystic Arts Research Society was involved as well. Wasn’t his name Huang something? They made a fake Human-Faced Arachnid this way, which became the experimental product of the Order of Justice.

Luo Nan was still quite sensitive to such matters.

His gaze stopped upon the projection of the spell array. There wasn’t much Luo Nan could say about it from the perspective of the mystic arts; he had a few basic concepts at most. However, from the perspective of the operational structure of energy and information, he had a bit to say.

He tried to straighten out the laws of order within, and he started from the three level structure of Formatting Theory as a habit. He observed the projection in a trance.

Papercut, on the other hand, simply asked the person involved, "Can this magical spell be used right away? I mean, you don’t need to put this out on paper, right? You can you use the lines created by the projector."

"Yes, yes, yes. That’s what the teacher meant." Du Yong nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. Papercut was actually able to tell with a single glance! His confidence toward Papercut and those of that Society instantly rose.

"Heard it yet? Hello?"

Papercut intended to privately talk to Luo Nan, but he saw that this brother was spellbound. He could only give him a light reminder; other people might not be able to understand this field, so don’t rush. "First ascertain the surrounding information. Talk about things professionally once you have a direction. This should save some troubles."

This was a reminder from a senior, and Luo Nan was quite obedient. However, he really did have some vague concepts after skimming over the image a few times. And these concepts weren’t rare when it came to discussing Formatting Theory.

Luo Nan reluctantly shot a last few glances at the image before bringing his mind back to the plane of reality. He glanced to the side inexplicably, and he saw Cat Eyes continue to drink alcohol over by the sofa. It was unknown how many cups she had downed.

"About Cat Eyes."

"I see that she’s in a bad mood. Don’t disturb her for now." Papercut indicated to Luo Nan that they should do things first amongst themselves. He also felt that he didn’t quite pay attention to Du Yong a moment ago. He asked Du Yong to repeat himself once more. Only then did he smile and say, "It’s quite a familiar situation, wouldn’t you say?"

Luo Nan nodded. Papercut wasn’t at the scene back at the incident at the other Frost River Reality. He certainly obtained the details from the post-operation briefing. And the main provider of information for this brief was none other than Luo Nan. Luo Nan obviously wouldn’t forget, "It’s exactly the same as the one back then. Are you talking about the Order of Justice?"

"It shouldn’t be. If it was the Order of Justice, then the inner circle of the spell array would certainly show equilibrium or disequilibrium. It should be quite recognizable. I obtained an understanding after the fact. It seemed like in the past two years, the technology to form magical spell arrays through projection had already spread far and wide. Many orders have used them."

"Is that so." Luo Nan felt that the direction had turned quite muddled.

"This is my current direction; the spell array’s main structure is quite complete. There aren’t any ridiculous mistakes nor does it have the rigidity of a copy. It isn’t a forgery intent to fool people. The drafting difficulty is also not high. Anyone can do it as long as they’re patient enough. But the so-called adaptability and adjust-ability of it is quite interesting. It really tests the spiritual and creative aspects. It looks just like a written examination for school."

"Recruitment by an order?"

"It’s spiritual initiation. It’s exactly what it sounds like. However, there has never been an Order who has dared to do this in the past. They still focus on devout faith of their believers."

Luo Nan grasped the key information, "Never in the past?"

"Certainly not!"

"It doesn’t have to be an Order, you know. It could be the Society or a firm like that of Her Majesty Empress Wu.

Papercut drew his lips into a grin, "This is the key information garnered from the surrounding information. I just asked Little Xie. Within the spiritual initiation technique imparted to them by their teacher, there are extremely clear-cut rituals and directions."

Luo Nan rolled his eyes, "Just talk plainly, okay?"

"Creation."

"Which one?"

"Creation, as in the Creator of all things."
