37: Chapter 37 Creating a Class: Mage!

"Try them one by one?"

After trying it once, Mo Bai shook his head slightly and abandoned the plan.

On a single plane, several Spell Nodes and over a dozen mana pathways could form countless combinations.

Shifting the position slightly or changing the angle just a bit would result in a brand-new combination.

Theoretically, as long as Mo Bai completed experiments for all permutations and combinations, he would inevitably succeed if a correct answer existed.

However, just thinking about the number of permutations and combinations made him stop.

"Success is indeed possible, theoretically speaking."

"Phew, it's like giving a monkey a computer; as long as the time scale is extended to infinity, the monkey will eventually type out Shakespeare."

Mo Bai took a deep breath, then slowly shook his head.

"No."

"For now, this is a complete black box. What I need isn't to find the answer by chance through brute force.

I need to unlock the black box; I want to see everything inside."

Mo Bai took a deep breath and directly pulled up the forum's draft book. After a slight pause, he wrote down a question he had been pondering for a long time.

Or rather, three hypotheses.

"Hypothesis One: Both matter and energy possess energy fields. The energy field of matter is stable but has a small range of influence, while the energy field of energy has a large range of influence but is insufficiently stable."

"Hypothesis Two: energy fields can form different energy levels based on the amount of energy contained, the density, and the quality. The higher the energy level, the stronger the influence."

"Hypothesis Three: Spells originate from the mutual interference of energy fields, with Spell Nodes and mana pathways serving as energy field units, which are first-level units.

The energy fields of multiple first-level units are weak, but by interfering and merging with each other, they form more complex energy fields, which are second-level Spell Structures.

Spell Structures interfere and overlap again to form third-level energy fields, which are Magic Spell Modules."

"Based on these three hypotheses, by measuring the energy fields of Spell Nodes of different sizes, measuring the energy fields of mana pathways of different lengths, thicknesses, and angles, and measuring the second-level energy field effects produced by their mutual overlapping and interference.

From this, a model can be established. Ultimately, the Magic Spell Model will no longer be a black box but a transparent, analyzable... mathematical problem."

When Mo Bai wrote to this point, his virtual pen tip paused slightly before he continued writing.

"Solvable."

At this moment, Mo Bai reached a state of complete realization, and his thoughts became fully connected.

The once-black-box Magic Spell Model was now completely integrated with the modern technological system.

In the transcendent era, the modern technological system was not useless.

What is mathematics?

Mathematics is a formal science that studies concepts such as quantity, structure, change, space, and information!

Mathematics is the tool by which human civilization perceives the world.

It is the supreme scripture of human civilization, a tool for analyzing rules and describing the world.

This tool is not limited to the physical world of reality; the energy of this game world can also be applied.

Scientific cognition.

It simply requires building a model and using mathematics to construct a formula.

Mo Bai's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately used Spiritual Power to construct six "Restraint" Spell Structures.

The experiment begins!

One Spell Structure after another was formed using Spiritual Power, and Mo Bai adjusted each one repeatedly.

Constructing Spell Structures directly with Spiritual Power was fast, and the moment they were formed, Mo Bai could perceive their effects. He then simply quantified and recorded them, completing the process in an instant.

At this moment, Mo Bai was tireless, performing thousands of experiments on each Spell Structure and recording the data every time.

In just two or three days, Mo Bai had already collected hundreds of thousands of specific data points on the effects of Restraint structures on Spiritual Power.

Immediately after, Mo Bai immersed his mind entirely in this data.

Data that ordinary people would find boring appeared incredibly beautiful in Mo Bai's eyes.

His sensitivity to data was extremely high, and he possessed an unimaginable processing speed and intuition for it.

In just a few moments, Mo Bai found a trace of regularity within it, a melody as beautiful as music.

It was as simple as finding a pattern in two, four, six, eight, and ten.

Next, it was simply a matter of using a formula to describe it.

Just like a geometric progression formula.

Immediately after, Mo Bai held his virtual pen and calculated rapidly in the forum's draft book.

The ink box in his mind spun so fast it almost smoked.

His computing power was comparable to a personal computer, and at this moment, it was being utilized to its fullest extent.

Before long, a descriptive formula spanning several pages appeared on the draft paper.

This was the first, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

At this moment, Mo Bai felt a sense of sheer exhilaration.

Under high-speed brain operation, his Spiritual Power seemed to become exceptionally active, and his perception became incredibly sharp.

Looking at these six descriptive formulas, Mo Bai simplified them bit by bit, finally extracting the parameters of his own Spiritual Power, converting the design effects into mathematical parameters, and eventually consolidating the six formulas.

He plugged in the data and calculated.

The result was outputted.

He converted the abstract results provided by the mathematical tools into a manifested Spell Structure.

Six Spell Nodes arranged in a diamond shape, with crisscrossing mana pathways.

Everything was incredibly precise; everything was incredibly elegant.

Every Spell Node's relative position, every mana pathway's angle, and even their intersection points, distances, and thicknesses had complete data precise to three decimal places.

The moment it took shape, Mo Bai sat cross-legged, withdrawing all his Spiritual Power into his mind, then surging it toward this diamond-shaped Spell Structure.

The majestic Spiritual Power circulated rapidly along the Spell Nodes, then completely filled its internal space.

There wasn't the slightest ripple, no agitation, and certainly no explosion.

The density of the Spiritual Power within the Spell Structure exceeded the critical threshold in an instant, and a qualitative change occurred.

Yet all the Spiritual Power remained tightly restrained within the Spell Structure, without causing the slightest disturbance.

His Spell Nodes and mana pathways had no errors and were precise to the extreme, so naturally, it was incredibly smooth.

*Hum!*

In an instant, the qualitative change of the Spiritual Power was complete. The Mage structure disappeared, merging into the Spiritual Power.

Within his mind, a crystal core, both real and illusory, rotated slowly at the center.

Made of pure Spiritual Power, this crystal core possessed a transparency that Magic Beast crystal cores did not have.

With a thought from Mo Bai, a surge of wind element flowed into it, dyeing the crystal core with a touch of blue.

Immediately after, the Magic Spell Model for the Wind Blade Technique condensed within it, solidified by the Spiritual Power crystal core.

With another thought.

Wind Blade, instant cast!

*Whoosh!*

The Wind Blade sliced a dent into the lake's surface, while the Magic Spell Model and Elemental Power within the Spiritual Power crystal core had vanished.

However, Mo Bai introduced the fire element, dyeing it red, and in the next moment, the Resist Fire Ring Magic Spell Model also took shape.

Still an instant cast.

*Boom!*

The moment the Resist Fire Ring expanded in all directions, the fire element power and Magic Spell Model within the Spiritual Power crystal core also disappeared.

This was a one-time use; the elements and Magic Spell Models inside could be replaced at will.

At this moment, Mo Bai realized that describing it as a Spiritual Power crystal core was no longer appropriate.

Perhaps it should have a more specific name, such as... "Spell Slots."

Mo Bai whispered, and as soon as he finished speaking, system notifications appeared one after another in his ears like explosions.

"system notification: Congratulations to the player for successfully creating a transcendent class: Mage (Professional Rank)."

"system notification: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Class-level title: Mage Pioneer!"

"system announcement: 'the true game' will undergo an online update in ten minutes; please be prepared, players."

"System..."
