I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 248 Where did you hide my adorable junior?

"What the heck?" The research fanatic was stunned for three seconds by Bigeley's words, unable to understand what her mentality was when she said that.

"Could it be the kind of person who blurts things out in a moment of panic? That's not necessarily a bad thing."

The research fanatic was speechless, but he didn't correct her. Instead, he wanted to see what would happen if he went along with her. Even if he only got a funny picture of a silly girl, it would still be a win.

Thinking about this, he pondered for a moment, then brought out the idea he had while flipping through the book:
"I plan to build a computing device with a response mechanism using basic spell configurations. It can use 'yes' and 'no' outputs for input and output. The operation logic is based on binary, similar to how yin and yang lines combine to form the eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams. The initial plan is..."

The research fanatic explained the basic logic of computers in the simplest language possible. Bigeley listened for a while and then thought to herself:

"Isn't that what you call an electronic computer? These native warriors are so backward. But this kid actually managed to think of using magic to make a computer. He's quite a talent!"

Thinking about this, Bige suddenly felt that this technique was worth a try, so she immediately adjusted her mindset and explained:
"Your idea is not bad, but there are many problems. For example, such a sophisticated spell requires very complex rituals, and the consumption of mana is probably enormous. In addition, you also need to consider the problem of information storage. If the spell cannot be maintained indefinitely, once the spell ends, it will be equivalent to wiping out all the original results..."

Bigeley launched into a long explanation of the research fanatic's "magical computer" project, leaving the research fanatic utterly incredulous.

Wait a minute, you actually know this?
Where did you hide that cute, goofy junior girl from before? I'm not used to you suddenly replacing her with a top student!
For a time, the research fanatic even had the idea that it was actually a twin or a dual-personality NPC.

But Bige didn't know or care what the research fanatic was thinking. She was already used to the unreliability of these heroes. However, she suddenly stopped halfway through her speech because she suddenly remembered that the hero in front of her could use Ghidorah's method to cast spells!

So, is this an opportunity?
Thinking of this, Bige immediately grabbed a stack of manuscript paper and began writing and drawing on it, leaving the research fanatic dumbfounded.

But he clearly didn't intend to stop it. Although it had only just begun, the research fanatic could clearly see that the design of this ritual was almost exactly the same as his own, and even had many optimizations.

"Alright, this is a preliminary simplified version. Give it a try, and if it works, we can continue to optimize it."

Bigeley sketched a preliminary blueprint with lightning speed, but the research fanatic looked utterly embarrassed.

"Well, my cultivation of the Four Elements is still insufficient..."

“The Four Great Families? What are those?” Bigeley frowned, but did not ask, because she probably understood that this hero regarded her as one of the villagers. If she didn’t even know such basic things, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Although a hero's suspicion is not a big deal, she still came to steal the knowledge after all, and was discovered by Ghidorah. She lost face!
Thinking of this, Bigeley's eyes lit up, and she began to use her eloquence:
"Oh, what level have you reached in your cultivation of the Four Elements? Tell me about it."

"Ah..." The research fanatic was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth:

"Transformation can perform basic elemental changes, transfer can only perform regular movement, fixation can be maintained for about ten seconds, and screening, because there is no target, can only distinguish the nature of magic."

“That’s not bad either.” Bige said insincerely, but in her mind she was pondering the four words “transfer,” “convert,” “fix,” and “filter” repeatedly, comparing them with the spell configurations she had seen before, and she had many ideas for a while.

The research fanatic wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence, so she naturally sensed Bigeley's perfunctory attitude (in fact, she herself didn't know if it was even good enough). Feeling a bit embarrassed, she used the game function to take pictures of all the drawings Bigeley had made, and then decided to go out and work hard.

Just as he was about to take his leave, Bige suddenly called him back, then casually scribbled on a piece of paper, creating a composite design and handing it to him—"Try to see if you can use this."

"Huh? Is this a hidden quest reward?" Driven by curiosity, the research fanatic accepted the information and began to analyze the spell's effect using the approach from "Spell Anatomy".

"This transformation configuration seems to grant 'physical collision'? The moving parts have flight, levitation and the like... It feels like a spell that transforms mana into a specific shape?"

The research fanatic looked at the spell, which was composed of at least thirty spell configurations, and couldn't help but feel a little dreadful. Although it was much easier than the microcontroller or even the spell computer he had imagined, it was still beyond the reach of a beginner like him who couldn't even roll a ball properly.

"Still too difficult? How about this?" Bige suddenly realized that she couldn't use her own standards to judge these heroes, even if they seemed very smart.

After thinking about it, I broke down the spell's structure into a simplified version and handed it over.

"what about this?"

"I guess it's barely acceptable?" The research maniac felt a little embarrassed by his own words, but although he hadn't tried the six-configuration interlocking instrument, it should still be within the scope of use.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and said:
"I'll go try it right now!"

“Let’s go together!” Bigeley had no idea how much pressure her suggestion of going together put on the research fanatic. The two walked out of the library one after the other, followed by gasps of surprise—

"Holy crap! There are NPCs in the library?"

"Holy crap! A white-haired, red-eyed loli in ancient costume!"

"Wife!"

"So, if you really go down there, every woman is your wife?"

Hearing the commotion around her, Bigeley breathed a sigh of relief; at least these heroes were still just as foolish.

The research fanatic had no time to pay attention to Bigeley at this moment; his mind was filled with the new configuration. He stood on a square in the center of the square, constantly sketching out spells in his mind.

Bigeley observed him closely, and as the magic flowed, she suddenly seemed to discover a secret, turning her gaze to the ground—

"So that's how it is. It really is because of that talisman? Or rather, it's a second-generation talisman? In that case, I should be able to cast spells here too?"

While Bigeley pondered, the research maniac finally completed the ritual. With the release of his magic, a small red object fell to the ground with a thud and scattered into dust with a bang.

"What is this?" The research fanatic was momentarily speechless when he saw that his spell had only summoned this thing. Bigeley, hearing this, gave him an innocent smile—

"Adorable bats flying and crashing! But you need to make a little more!"
