Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 129 Doris is opening champagne
If we use plants as an analogy for the linking mechanism between natural and artificial puppet hearts.

The former is like a wild plant, which can grow tenaciously no matter how harsh the environment, even on cliffs, and can survive with just a little water.

The latter is like a flower in a greenhouse; if you forget to water it, water it too much, or fertilize it incorrectly, it will immediately wither and die.

That's how the Natural Puppet Heart works. You can draw any runes you want, as long as you can extract it, I'll give you 100% performance. It all depends on whether you can use it.

The artificial puppet heart is like a delicate little princess; the connecting device cannot be weak or too forceful, or it will faint.

Once the Puppet Heart is created, its performance is already determined, but whether it can reach 100% performance depends on the performance of the connecting device.

"I remember the book saying that the connection device for the artificial puppet heart needs to take into account the stability of the puppet heart, the computing power capacity, the chaos value, and the stability and capacity limit of the magic input..."

Celia tapped the table and closed her eyes.

Just as Celia was pondering how to draw the runes for the linking device, the proctor spoke up again: "This exam does not restrict the use of spell rings, and the mechanical engraving runes made by the Maria Merchant Guild for this product will be published to all candidates. You can directly use the engraving runes they specifically use for machinery, or you can design them according to your own knowledge."

When Celia opened her eyes, she saw a light screen projection in front of her, displaying the extraction runes used by the Maria Merchant Guild on this artificial puppet heart.

It's not very complicated.

However, after simulating it in her mind, Celia discovered that this set of runes could only achieve 50% of the current Arcane Furnace's efficiency. To overclock, she would need to add additional runes herself.

50% is only 10% away from the required 60% for the exam, but that 10% is not so easy to achieve.

After taking a look, Celia decided to relegate this set of runes to oblivion.

But suddenly, a bold idea popped into her head.

"If I modify this rune to increase its efficiency while minimizing the loss of the Puppet Heart, could I get a higher score?"

Celia felt that the exam question, which specifically pointed out the standard runes used by others, was definitely not unfounded.

"Then let's do it this way!"

Celia began to study the principles behind this set of standardized runes.

The principle is simple: reserve the magic power to activate the Puppet Heart in the runes. The magic power follows the specific patterns to activate the pre-programmed program of the Puppet Heart and charge it.

The pre-programmed program sends a request for magical power to the Arcane Furnace through the runes of the linking device. After being weakened by the runes, a large amount of magical power enters the heart of the golem. The golem then continues to send requests to the Arcane Furnace to enhance its effectiveness, and so on, until the runes reach their limit.

Celia couldn't help but complain, "The artificial puppet heart is too delicate. Even the princesses of the empire aren't this delicate."

Hearing her complaints, Ross couldn't help but think of Benovia.

Benovia is by no means delicate.

"It's already quite impressive that people dare to create artificial puppet hearts. It's just that the technology isn't mature yet. Once the technology is mature enough to replace natural puppet hearts, perhaps we can set sail for the stars."

Elsewhere, Ross has always looked down on modern technology.

But he highly approves of the puppetry technique.

The artificial puppet heart, which is also an artificial godhood, is an even better thing for generations to come.

What a wonderful scenario it would be if artificially created deities could achieve the abilities of gods.

Now Rose has only one thing to worry about.

These artificial golem hearts were made from substances extracted from the reborn Protoss Tree.

He strongly supported it, as long as it wasn't a standard rune. After carefully studying the standard runes, Celia began sketching rune diagrams on draft paper.

About half an hour later, she picked up the carving knife.

She was one of the last to have surgery.

Some people had already finished the exam by this time.

Celia paid special attention to the student who handed in his paper first and found that he hadn't made any changes; he had simply copied the standard runes onto the linking device.

Is this a specialized exam?

Celia gave him a thumbs up.

After that, she stopped paying attention to other people's situations.

Only Doris kept an eye on Celia's situation.

Instead of using standard runes, she rewrote them, referencing runes from various linking devices.

At this point, we've completed about half of it.

She wasn't stumped by it at all, and even had the leisure to observe Celia's condition while making it.

Seeing her go from looking worried at the beginning to studying the standard runes seriously, and then drawing the outline of the standard runes on the draft paper, Doris couldn't help but frown.

"This set of runes is clearly designed to make those who are not skilled enough score low. Is Celia just here to get low marks?"

However, she was relieved to see that Celia had not copied it verbatim but had made modifications.

"I see. The plan is to modify the existing runes. However, modifying the existing runes is not so easy. They were researched and modified by generations of sorcerers of the Maria Merchant Guild and have reached the optimal effect in all aspects. Rather than modifying them and causing various problems, it is better to create an original one."

Doris understood that modifying the existing runes was feasible, because the Maria Merchant Guild had reserved space for modifications, specifically for sorcerers who liked to modify and improve the performance of the Puppet Heart.

However, there is an upper limit to the transformation; it can only achieve a maximum of 80% effectiveness, and it is almost impossible to achieve more than 90% and get good results.

Doris was initially worried that Celia might pull off some amazing feat, but now that she saw Celia modifying the existing standard runes just like those overclocking mages, she immediately felt relieved.

"Hmph, for this level, prepare to be my sparring partner for three months!"

Doris's mood brightened.

She couldn't help but think of something else.

"Speaking of which, I've been busy conquering the ancient ruins for a while and haven't paid attention to Celia's situation. I only know that she's advanced to the second tier, but I don't know anything else. I need to take advantage of these three months of training with her to get to know her better and make her a devoted follower of mine!"

The puppet exam lasted three hours. Time passed quietly, and when the exam ended, the proctor rang the bell to hand in the papers, and most candidates stopped what they were doing.

Some people looked relieved, while others looked anxious. The carving knife left afterimages, but they accidentally carved the wrong lines, causing them to fail at the last minute.

Others were already looking around, clearly having finished making their creations.

Celia is the last type.

She stretched and slowly stood up when she heard the bell.

"It's finally over."
