Chapter 33 The Nature of Ability

I would like to ask, what kind of experience is it for an apprentice to have all his salary subsidies for the next four years deducted on his first day of work?
Before the unlucky guy Ji Jue disappeared, he could only say that those who understand understand.

Professor Ye’s workshop is quite humane. Even apprentices receive formal wages and subsidies, and even work-related injury insurance.

However, humane treatment is not very useful when encountering a more anthropomorphic creature like Ji Jue.

But he had never planned to make any money from the professor anyway. To round it off, he just lost something he had no idea about.

At most, you will drop two little pearls in your dreams when you go home.

So, at Professor Ye's request, he once again demonstrated his abilities using the scrapped workpiece.

Since being summoned by destiny and becoming the official chosen one, his abilities have improved by leaps and bounds, breaking through the original shackles. He no longer needs to reach out and touch the machine to give instructions and complete communication.

Targets within ten meters can be connected instantly without any gaps.

Faster, stronger, and more mana intensive.

Unfortunately, when golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world...Now that Ji Jue has completed the breakthrough, he no longer has the infinite blue supply from Teacher Lawrence.

Vortex implantation is a really good thing!

If we say that Wen Wen should have been stopped at the beginning and not killed so easily, we should have left some scraps and planted two more Teacher Lawrence in the field. With his regenerative ability, if we grow one and draw one, wouldn't we be able to mass-produce spiritual batteries?
No, it's a pity to think about it... When will there be another opponent like this who is full of treasures? !
Just as Ji Jue's thoughts were slipping further and further, Professor Ye, who had watched the entire process again, adjusted his glasses and sighed, "So that's how it is."

Through a pair of glasses that were powerful enough to see the flow of spiritual essence, she had observed the entire process.

Judging from the surface, it should be a control ability that is more inclined towards the Tianyuan type.

But they are completely different in nature.

If it were just to control the machinery, the flow of spiritual essence would be too frequent and too large.

If it is just a simple command, it shouldn't consume so much energy if the target has energy. A skilled Chosen One of the control type can use it dozens or hundreds of times a day. Even the Chosen One of the Heart Pivot can control ordinary people with just a word.

As for Ji Jue... one fifth of his spiritual essence circulated out, and less than half returned, while most of it was lost.

If it was just an ordinary trash chosen one, it would be normal.

However, is this the only weight that God’s chosen one has?
Her brow furrowed.

Not right.

There's always something wrong...

Spiritual essence will not appear out of thin air, nor will it disappear out of thin air, unless it has been transformed by "work", then - Professor Ye suddenly turned around, "You just said that you can talk to them, right?"

"Yes, but most of the time, they don't talk much." Ji Jue replied: "So far, the ones I have met are relatively easy to talk to."

"..."

Professor Ye suddenly asked from the silence: "Is it possible that they are not the ones speaking?"

"Ok?"

"Ordinary matter does not have thoughts. Ji Jue, without spiritual essence, there is no premise for thinking, and there is no personality or likes and dislikes."

She reached out and knocked on the outer shell of the workbench. In an instant, the machine broke away from Ji Jue's control and fell silent again:
"For example, I assembled this work center myself. If I were not so dim-sighted, I would not have ignored this kind of interference and possibility.

But since it has no will..."

She turned around and asked, "Who was the one talking to you at the moment you communicated?"

Ji Jue was completely confused.

If it’s not a machine speaking, then who else could it be? Could it be... Shit, wait, could it be me?

Damn, I'm crazy?!

I've been discharged from the hospital, I won't have to go back, right?
That’s not right, the doctor said I’m very healthy!
Then he heard Professor Ye's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, the essence of your ability is to give your own spiritual essence to other objects and temporarily animate them." She said, "As for the dialogue that appeared in your mind... it is probably the temporary pseudo-personality produced after the history, experience and sedimentation of the object itself are combined with the spiritual essence.

And it will respond spontaneously and operate proactively according to your instructions."

While deep in thought, she said decisively: "If this ability can be further developed, it may be possible to make the machine come alive, or even change its own structure to work for you."

Ji Jue was stunned.

It was completely accurate. After only seeing it once, it seemed as if he understood it more deeply than he did. Moreover, without knowing his cousin's emergency survival protocol, he had already guessed the specific situation of the "double qualitative change" that Ji Jue had only used once.

The moment she thought of this, she reached out, took out a spherical object from her pocket and handed it to Ji Jue.

"Try this."

The sound is crisp.

The surface of the fist-sized spherical object has intricate and gorgeous patterns, exquisitely carved, and has nine coin-sized holes on it. If you look inside, you can also see a smaller sphere inside, which is exactly the same as the outside, equally complex and gorgeous, but nested layer by layer, inward, and inward again, there are as many as nine layers!

It is said that in ancient times, craftsmen would use ivory as material and work hard to create such a masterpiece.

Ji Jue had only seen such gorgeous handicrafts in history textbooks, but inside it was filled with a murderous aura that made Ji Jue shudder with fear.

Even better than the 'Xiaoan' that he had seen in Lawrence's hands!
"Is this a... ghost ball?" He took it in his hand, examined it carefully, and subconsciously input a bit of spiritual essence, trying to feel its material, and his vision suddenly went dark.

In the fleeting perception, countless forks appeared in his spiritual feedback, complex spiritual channels like integrated chips, and even hundreds of rune marks whose complexity far exceeded his understanding...

If the fist-sized ghost ball were spread out, it would probably be enough to cover the entire huge factory area and even extend into the sea.

But when Ji Jue's ability took effect on it, it felt like a bottomless pit. The Ghost Ball absorbed Ji Jue's spiritual essence like a whale, devouring it madly, but other than that... it didn't give any signal at all!
Even when Ji Jue had completely drained his spiritual essence and was about to die on the spot, all he heard was a satisfied voice: "Thank you, brother. I'm fine now."

From then on, he refused to listen to anything else.

The quality is really bad!
Ji Jue’s eyes almost popped out: No, suck it back!

Unfortunately, the ghost ball no longer responded.

It even broke away from Ji Jue's palm on its own initiative, as if pulled by an invisible cable, and returned to Professor Ye's hand. It spun around and slowly enlarged, showing Ji Jue its dazzlingly complex and terrifying structure, as obedient as a loyal dog.

"See? After you've suffered a loss, remember this lesson and don't stick to anything you come across."

Ye Xian said slowly: "Some items have their own spiritual existence and can automatically identify enemies and friends and permissions. In this case, unless your ability is strong enough to completely overwrite the other party's underlying circuits and instructions, they will not respond to your request.

However, when you are able to make alchemical items and become a formal craftsman, you should know how to modify the underlying instructions."

She paused for a moment and smiled with a hint of malice: "It's even possible to make it turn against its original owner on the spot."

Imagine that when your opponent confidently takes out his most valuable weapon and activates it at all costs, he finds that his weapon has become the enemy's limbs.

It would be a nightmare for any enemy, right?

Especially, the Chosen Ones who are immersed in this way, such ability is completely the killer nemesis of alchemical items! No matter what kind of weapons and equipment encounter Ji Jue, they will not have any effect, just like being naked.

And, not only that...

Until now, after a series of shocks, Ye Xian once again felt a certain understanding...

About the horror of destiny's call!
It's not the difference in talent, or the difference in courage, but the difference in essence!

I'm afraid any apprentice in a workshop can recite in his dreams the essence of alchemy - to endow matter with soul, to endow ordinary things with miracles, and to endow talented people with extraordinary skills.

Temper gold from iron and stone, and integrate the supreme goodness from spiritual essence, until you reach the realm of infinite all things!
But the basic ability of a chosen one alone can actually cover all four elements of alchemy - ascension, transformation, purification, and harmony?
It's really too bizarre.

What's even more outrageous is that Ji Jue had somehow mastered the things in the latter part, but he had no foundation at all for the former part.

It was like a castle in the air, no, it was a living courtyard in the air... Relying on Ji Jue himself, who had no basic ability at all, he was forcibly raised to a height that was completely unreasonable? !

An 80-year-old illiterate woman teaches you the secret of nuclear fusion, and an old farmer at the entrance of the village works on the land to match the warp engine's jump parameters, highlighting a punk and rebellious character.

She had never seen such an outrageous situation in her life.

In fact, he suspected more than once that he had fallen into the illusion of the mirror or the confusion of the heart core.

Difficult, weird, and bizarre.

But...it's so interesting!
As she pondered, her smile gradually became dangerous and crazy.

Shangshan·Cinders, is in charge of the fields of creation, change and innovation...All the chosen ones who truly embark on this path are technology fanatics whose minds are filled with research.

When I see a monster or a deformed creature jumping out on the road, I can't help but want to dissect it to find out what it is.

Now, such bizarre materials were delivered to him?
She was already itching to do it.

Purely speaking from the perspective of research value, the Chosen Ones are truly full of treasures.

It itself has amazing compatibility with the corresponding Supreme Good, not to mention that Ji Jue has nine Supreme Goods that resonate with him, so the scope of application is really too wide.

Blood and bone marrow can be extracted to prepare medicines, bones and flesh can be crushed or processed for cultivation, souls can be cut and melted into heavenly works, and even spiritual essence can be extracted slowly to promote the fusion of materials.

From head to toe, even the abilities have almost infinite possibilities!
Unfortunately, what I am good at are engineering and purification. If I were a craftsman who focused on living things, I would have thrown this kid directly into the furnace a long time ago, right?
That straight look made Ji Jue feel creepy all over.

Suddenly I had the urge to call the police and subconsciously moved back a little, trembling with fear.

"Get ready, Ji Jue."

Under the pale light, Professor Ye slowly revealed a 'kind' smile: "Starting tomorrow, your graduate courses will start early."
