Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

Chapter 110 Another World Takeout

"Plop~ Plop~"

Isaac squeezed the blood-red heart, which was no bigger than the palm of his hand. It was bouncy, a bit like rubber, but its shape was as abstract as ever.

Of course, the way to use it is more abstract. You need to eat this thing, but it can't be a magical pet. Because eating it is to connect with the magic power in your body. If a magical pet eats it, wouldn't that connect with the magical pet?

Of course, it's not impossible, but that wouldn't be as convenient, so it's usually better to eat it yourself.

After playing with it for a while, Isaac casually tossed it onto a nearby table. The second magic source could only store six times the magic power of Isaac himself, which was already quite considerable for other wizards.

After all, the second magic source and the magic imprint do not conflict. Together, they provide almost ten times the magic power. Moreover, the second magic source can be recharged in various ways, making it a top-tier magical item.

But this amount of magic was insufficient for Isaac; it was only enough to create a greatsword demon that didn't consume casting materials.

However, that's all for now. The method to make it into a Noble Phantasm is very simple: just complete the incomplete magic circuit above.

The biggest difference between Noble Phantasms and ordinary magical items is their magical circuits.

Magic circuits are a product of research on the divine network. The earliest wizards actually wanted to create a god through this method, but they eventually found that although magic circuits also had the ability to absorb the power of faith, the utilization rate was far worse than that of the divine network, and this plan was eventually abandoned.

Years later, a wizard accidentally discovered the magic circuit and combined it with magical items, which led to the creation of the incredibly brilliant artificial artifact technology we know today!

And this gave Isaac an opportunity!

Although the technology of magic loops is far more advanced than his divine network modification surgery, he has no right to even come into contact with them, let alone learn them. Even though the one of his two Noble Phantasms, the One That Cuts Through All Things, is a man-made Noble Phantasm, he has no way of deciphering any knowledge related to magic loops from it.

but!

He possesses divine network modification technology!

And they're really good at it!

Magic circuits are always derived from the divine network, so the method to perfect the magic circuits on the second magic source is quite simple.

Just like how the rat increases its strength, it only needs to devour divine essence!

Simply throw a live Divine Rat into a magic cauldron, add cinnamon, star anise, scallions, ginger, and garlic, and finally a little dark soy sauce for color. Simmer over high heat for three hours, then extract the most essential broth and pour it over the Blood Heart. Let it sit for thirty minutes to allow the heart to fully absorb the energy.

Finally, repeat this step until the magic loop is fully formed!

This method was not discovered by Isaac, but rather was a concept proposed by the original author. However, it was so difficult that no one had ever tried it.

After all, divine beings in nature are extremely rare and powerful. If you actually encounter one, who would be willing to kill it and use it to cultivate a treasure? Wouldn't it be better if I made it a familiar through a contract?

Not to mention that the formation of a magic circuit cannot be achieved by relying on just one god-like being, which makes it even more useless.

Only someone like Isaac has the resources to do it.

However, there's no rush. The original author's method was just a concept and had never been tested, resulting in a pitifully low success rate. Although he could use cheat codes to complete it, that would be too wasteful of resources. Let's optimize it first. Also, the second magic source needs to be left to stand for a while before pouring the soup.

So now...

Isaac walked over and sat down, opened his spellbook, opened the cult forum, and looked at his post asking for help. So many days had passed, there should be a reply by now, right?

For the past few days, we've been eating either food that Smith bought in a nearby town, or things that he or Ruri tried to make.

Well, whether it's what they bought or what they tried to make, it's all just edible.

Therefore, finding a chef is becoming increasingly urgent.

"Snapped!"

A moment later, Isaac closed the spellbook. Sure enough, no matter the world, online forums and message boards are always full of people looking for fun.

There were quite a few suggestions. At first, it was the normal thing to hire a cook—someone daring. But then it gradually got more and more outrageous, from ordering takeout to summoning edible demons, from storing food to a hundred tips for saving money, from magical servants to trisexual succubi—

The solutions are becoming more and more numerous and increasingly abstract, and the number of exposed ps is also increasing.

I don't know how much of this is true or false. If half of it is true, then the profession of wizarding is too abnormal. But it's probably impossible for it to be all true, right?

Shaking his head, Isaac sighed. It wasn't a complete loss; although the replies were becoming increasingly abstract, there were actually a few that matched his opinion—well, a few of them were reliable.

For example, when ordering food, instead of buying it in nearby towns as we do now, we would order it from the town in the lake or the Truth Society, because most wizards are engrossed in research and often stay in the laboratory for ten days or half a month at a time. Their daily living environment is also mostly filled with various residual magic, which is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Although there are spells to make bread and water, those things can only fill your stomach, and the taste is just so-so.

Thus, the otherworldly version of takeout came into being, sold in Lake Town and the Truth Association. Moreover, it doesn't sell ordinary food, but magical food, which is top-notch in both taste and nutrition.

Of course, the price is also top-notch.

For example, although food made by magic is hard to swallow, you can think of another way: you can use summoning spells to summon food from another world. Nowadays, all the food comes from the god of food, which is delicious and can provide buffs. However, this spell requires you to pay a little faith, which will affect the quality of the summoned food, making Isaac somewhat unhappy.

For example, there's a gourmet animal whose flesh, once cut off, instantly becomes cooked food; there's a plant that grows delicious bread and roasted meat; and there's a kettle that pours out fresh milk.

However, there are many different methods, but none of them are like Isaac's original idea, which is to directly use magic to create a magical servant who can cook. It is said that this power was stripped away by the god of food. Since it is not an important matter, this power has always remained with the god of food.

After comparing several options, Isaac finally decided to check out food delivery options, first comparing the cost-effectiveness of the Truth Association and Lake Town, and then choosing one.

As for other options—they're either too abstract or have some side effects, unlike food delivery, whose only drawback is that it's expensive!

But for a millionaire like Shinpu, this amount of money is nothing!
