Stray Chapter 102: No peace at night
In the dead of night, everything is silent.
Sitting in front of the computer desk in her room, Xia Ran crossed her hands on her chin, posing in a classic pose, just a pair of reflective glasses.
On the table in front of him, the computer monitor is not turned on, only an open notebook and a seemingly unremarkable writing pen.
The exterior of the writing pen is solid black with a smooth barrel that reflects the light sheen of the lighting in the room.
It looks really ordinary. There is nothing special about it. It probably belongs to any stationery store on the street. You can buy the same style or even better ones. The only unusual thing is that this A pen is automatically writing lines of text on the notebook—
Yes, it is writing automatically, as if being held by an invisible hand, tilted at a right angle in the air, and the pen tip draws a line of handwriting that penetrates the back of the paper, and the dragons and snakes dance. .
Just looking at this font is vivid and imposing, and it is no different from the handwriting that Xia Ran usually writes by himself...
"Automatic Recorder" -
It is a small technique that Xia Ran has only recently figured out. It doesn't have much effect. It only provides a considerable degree of convenience when taking notes for him.
It can also be regarded as a not-so-advanced but more complex enchanting effect. It only needs to process an ordinary writing pen to make it automatically write...
Of course, this does not mean that this writing pen has become an alchemical life that inspires wisdom or something. It is still just a tool. It can float and write automatically because of the magic power attached to it, and it can write The corresponding text is generated because there is an invisible line between it and the user, which is the connection of spiritual power maintained by the spell.
In other words, it only replaces the work of the hands, not the work of the brain. What Xia Ran wants to write, she must first think clearly, and make sure to express it in this way, only then can the "automatic secretary" be able to Translates his thoughts into words through spiritual connections.
It's just that his computing power is extremely strong, comparable to a high-end computer, although the writing pen is basically non-stop at the moment, writing down a line of handwriting in a very fast manner, and in a short time, a whole page The notes are filled.
The note stopped gently, Xia Ran reached out and picked up the writing pen, turned it over another page, and then put the writing pen back, so the rustling sound of writing sounded again, although it was slight, it broke the room silence in.
"Well, it seems that the configuration of automatic page turning has to be pondered, otherwise, it is still not smooth enough... After writing a page, you have to manually turn to the blank page at the back before you can continue automatic writing. , it's too easy to interrupt the rhythm."
Xia Ran thinks this is a bad shortcoming and needs to be adjusted further.
And there are still many shortcomings he found out. The most troublesome one is the consumption of mental power, even if only a trace of mental power is needed to connect and drive the core of the "automatic book", but if it needs to be maintained all the time , the mental strength of ordinary people is still not enough to see.
He made a brief estimate and found that if it is not optimized, ordinary people can hardly support half an hour with this simple magic device. If it does not stop, they will be sent to the hospital in a coma.
Xia Ran doesn't want to see such a thing happen, so she still needs to optimize it as much as possible to minimize unnecessary mental consumption.
After all, ordinary people don't have the brainpower he has, and they often stop writing and writing, and they won't complete certain homework in one go. The process of thinking is essential—
It's not that he doesn't need to think or consider, it's just that he's thinking so fast that he doesn't need to pause at all.
——Therefore, if this shortcoming is not made up, not only will it not improve the efficiency at all, but it will only drag down the efficiency of ordinary people...
But this kind of mental power consumption is already very low. Obviously, only a little mental power is needed to maintain this connection, and the speed of consumption is not fast enough for him to reply... How to optimize it? It can only be said that the problem is that the mental power of ordinary people is a little too low...
Xia Ran stared at the notes for a long time, and finally shook her head.
At this time, there was some small movement in the kitchen downstairs, but this was totally fine, it was just that the noble king of knights was on the battlefield, honing his cooking skills, and preparing for the evening meal by the way. supper.
Yes, that's right, it's a late night snack.
Because Xia Ran couldn't stand it when she was busy with her own affairs, there was a girl who seemed to be a spirit behind her, staring at her without saying a word, and then she stayed here all night. Slowly spend in a silent atmosphere...
So, he, who has always been very flexible, decisively popularized the knowledge about "night supper" to Artoria, so that the king of knights could understand that in addition to the normal three meals a day, he can actually find a reason to eat at night. For a meal...
Of course, the knight girl may indeed have the attributes of a foodie, but it is not so unscrupulous, so he made a very sincere request to the girl, explaining that he wanted to eat supper, but he couldn't find time for the time being. , so I can only ask my most trusted servant to prepare...
Do two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds!
With a legitimate name, Arturia can turn her attention to other places, instead of doing nothing in the room like a ghost in the back, just staring at herself for hours.
By the way, you can also cultivate the basic literacy of Artoria's maids, cooking skills, etc. These skills are all basic skills...
Saber doesn't know the sinister nature of her master at all... She has good intentions, or that a knight like her is a single-minded person, and she can only see the trust of the monarch in her and the responsibility entrusted to her. ——
Only the monarch trusts himself and says that there is something that only he can do, then the knight will be so excited that he can't help himself, feeling that his life is worth it, and fulfilling the ultimate self-realization needs of life.
And if the responsibility entrusted by the monarch overlaps with the interests of the knight, then it will naturally be double the happiness...
Because the two happy things overlapped, and the time was as happy as a dream, Saber didn't think too much at all, and didn't realize that there is still a difference between a servant and a maid, and he didn't realize that he was Master's true intentions——
When she heard the affirmative words of the other party, saying that only she could do this, she stood up subconsciously at that time, her face also showed a very firm look, and her heart was even more There is a kind of pride that "scholars die for confidants".
If someone doesn't know, they might mistakenly think that she is going to go to the battlefield after they notice the taste of iron and blood that she exudes. Who would have thought that she was just going to dinner Woolen cloth?
Xia Ran smiled, then retracted her thoughts.
Although there were some minor twists and turns today, there were no major problems on the whole. He sorted it out carefully and made sure that he had already dealt with it, including the ones left by Yukinoshita Yono. pit.
The goblin...
Only, there is one more thing worth paying attention to, that is, after discovering the study materials Xia Ran gave to Arturia, Yukinoshita thought about it for a while, and also asked for a copy, saying that she was going to learn about it.
Xia Ran hesitated at the time, but did not reject the girl's request. After all, he could probably guess the mental activity of Yukinoshita, so he simply agreed to follow the flow. Even if it was useless, at least it could alleviate it to a certain extent her unease.
The same sentence, mystery and concealment are different, the latter only creates distance and estrangement, without any benefit. But if Yukinoshita herself couldn't understand those things, then this situation can only be said to be mysterious. After all, Xia Ran showed it to her directly, but she still couldn't understand it herself, so this was called a mystery.
However, Xia Ran was still a little worried. Even if he rationally told him that this situation was like ordinary people practising various exercises on the Baix Library, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get anything out.
However, in addition to reason, he also has sensibility.
The rustling sound of writing stopped abruptly at this moment, Xia Ran put her eyes on the note in front of her, and was silent for a moment, a little undecided.
What he just wrote is a secret technique that Medea personally handed him in the last mission world. The effect is very simple and simple, but it is also quite shocking. It can break the jaws of all magicians. one place.
Because this is a secret technique used to open a magic circuit, it forms a conversion circuit in its own body, draws magic power from the outside world, and makes magic power that can be used by humans.
It's hard to imagine how high the overall level of magic in the Age of Gods is. After all, according to modern magic common sense, the number of magic circuits is determined at birth and will not increase due to external factors.
Because it was originally a very rare thing, so magicians accumulated several generations of blood, in order to give birth to children and grandchildren with more suitable aptitude for magic, overdoing the family is like doing breed improvement.
It is not without exceptions. For example, Emiya Shirou is a special case of twenty-seven circuits that have mutated from ordinary people's families.
However, a great magician from the age of God, an ancient witch whose magic skills rivaled that of a magician, has a secret technique to increase the magic circuit through acquired training... This is why she persuaded Xia Ran to continue to increase her own circuit. , In her opinion, this possibility that modern magicians have never thought about is actually a very simple thing.
"Should I teach her? But it doesn't really make sense..."
Xia Ran is feeling a little tangled now, and he's not quite sure if this is the right thing to do.
"Of course! Because for girls, the point is not whether it makes sense for you to do it, but whether you want to do it..."
At this time, a voice with a faint smile sounded behind him.
