Chapter 60 Non-attack
As soon as Ji Jue finished speaking, the entire workshop fell into silence.
Not only Ye Chun was stunned, but even Professor Ye was silent for a moment, with a hint of shock on his face, as if an FPS game enthusiast who felt he had done a lot of evil suddenly saw a Paradox player.
Do you think this is a bit too urban?
"...your suggestion is even wilder than mine." She looked at Ji Jue deeply and said, "But where did this habit of killing and setting fires at every turn come from?"
"what?"
Ji Jue was also stunned. Didn’t you say that it was tit-for-tat and you wanted to give Kong Qingyan a good lesson? !
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that Professor Ye didn't put his hand on my neck and asked me to kill her... Something is wrong. Is the trend and tendency of my ideological decline becoming more and more obvious?
I am a normal person!
How is it possible that he would kill everyone who offended him at any time?
Well, maybe it seems that everyone who offended me has been killed by me... Unfortunately, Yu Hanguang is still missing.
"You're right. I will pay more attention to it." Ji Jue nodded ashamedly.
"I'm not blaming you. In fact, I think it's pretty good. At least I don't have to worry about my students being good people and getting into trouble. As for your style and preferences, that's your own business. You don't need me to tell you what to do."
Professor Ye calmly accepted the fact that his student might have antisocial tendencies. He ignored Ji Jue's eyes that wanted to defend himself several times and asked:
"What do you think Kong Qingyan is here for this time?"
"Uh……"
Ji Jue thought for a moment and said tentatively: "After making sufficient preparations, I am trying to suppress you by comparing my students to each other?"
"Maybe that's part of the reason, but it's not enough to make her come all the way from Chaocheng to show off after hearing that I accepted a student.
Personal honor and disgrace are not the main reasons for a mature craftsman's actions. I hope you will remember this."
Professor Ye said solemnly: "Alchemy is a precise and complex subject. Most people study only a few centimeters of change all day long, and their emotional impulses are worn away by the accumulation of time.
As a result, over time, craftsmen have almost all turned into profit-seeking creatures who are always calculating on the penny. Some even lose track of priorities and become businessmen who only know how to do marketing.
Kong Qingyan is that kind of person, who values honor more than results, and status more than skills. For her, she won't do business that doesn't give her any advantage, and it's not worthwhile to go to a business that can only give her a little advantage. "
The professor said flatly: "She came here this time for me."
"what?"
Ji Jue was stunned.
"But if that's the case, there should be more action, but I almost slapped her in the face, but she didn't dare to challenge me.
In other words, just to confirm what? My situation, or the situation of the workshop, or to plot some results and realize some plan, and want to block my interference from the beginning. "
As she was analyzing and murmuring to herself, tiny vibration sounds were heard.
From the phone on the table.
Contact: [Huangji·Chen Xingzhou]
The phone was picked up and a voice came from the other end, but due to the interference of the phone itself, the bystander could not hear it clearly. He could only see that Professor Ye's expression changed slightly, as if he suddenly realized something.
"I see. I understand. The balance will be paid within two working days. It's a pleasure to work with you."
After hanging up the phone, Professor Ye fell into deep thought.
As if thinking about something.
"Perhaps, this is fate."
She suddenly turned around and asked Ji Jue, "How far have you progressed in the deconstruction and analysis of the Mouth of the Ancients?"
"what?"
Seeing the topic jump so much, Ji Jue was a little confused. His first reaction was "almost, I understand it all", but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he "understood 90%". But even so, it was still a bit exaggerated.
"Almost, I think I have figured out half of it..."
He grunted, not daring to say that he was completely confused and dazzled.
Not only the amount of work, but also the difficulty was beyond Ji Jue's understanding. All he could do was to grope in the dark, repeatedly guessing and eliminating to confirm the effect and function of each part.
He handed over his notes obediently: "I have almost figured out the deconstruction of the main part."
In layman's terms, it's about figuring out which part is working and which part looks fancy but is actually useless.
After Professor Ye took it, he put on his glasses and entered trial mode.
After about ten minutes of marking, he handed the notes back to Ji Jue, and then his eyes were stung by the many red crosses and corrections on them.
There are so many mistakes!
In addition to denying many of Ji Jue's guesses, it also filled in many aspects that he had never imagined.
With the master's experience, we can overlook the production concept of the entire alchemical work from a higher perspective.
And more importantly...
When she stretched out her hand and tightly grasped the necklace of the Ancient One's Mouth, those complex structures that were like flowers blooming in the mist to Ji Jue were projected out of the air.
In a blink of an eye, it has filled the entire living room, and even the entire living room cannot contain it, and cannot display its more fancy details.
This is a complex structure condensed in a thumb-sized volume, but when the internal structure is unfolded, it can cover most of the stadium. But more often, the complexity is meaningless, making people feel that it is purely for show, and a lot of effort has been spent on inexplicable places, sacrificing many functions and structures for the sake of beauty.
This made Ji Jue, who was used to the cost-effectiveness concept that modern alchemy emphasized from the very beginning, particularly uncomfortable: "Do these alchemists have nothing to do all day?"
"All things presented to the emperor are like this. Etiquette is above all else. It is better to do it than to be disrespectful. Just such a small thing requires decades of time and effort from a large workshop.
But the cattle, horses and livestock at that time still felt proud of it.”
Professor Ye's comments were mocking, showing no regard for the hard work that went into the work.
This kind of hard work that is spent on meaningless things is not really hard work, but just a vain price to please authority and show off one's own hard work.
After guiding Ji Jue on the structure of the Ancient One's Mouth, and waiting for him to finally correctly distinguish the functions and realities of each structure, Professor Ye nodded slowly and said, "It's OK. You can achieve this level in just a few days. I originally estimated that it would take about a month, but now it seems that we may not have that much time."
As he spoke, he clenched his fingers.
The projections in the sky disappeared without a trace, and then a soft shattering sound came from the palm of her hand.
In sudden shock, Ji Jue subconsciously jumped up from the sofa, not because he was worried about the damage to the Ancient One's Mouth, but because of the spiritual fluctuations that burst out from between Professor Ye's five fingers at that moment.
It is so complex and complicated, changing at a frequency beyond microseconds, rising or falling, with no regularity and no way to understand.
And just as she spread her fingers again, insignificant debris fell off the ancient's mouth and turned into dust, which made Ji Jue's ability almost insane.
Drooling and thirsty.
Almost out of control!
After carefully taking the debris and items, he put the debris in his pocket and immediately checked the internal structure of the Ancient One's Mouth.
However, it was discovered that the originally outrageously complex structure had now disappeared without a trace.
Those spiritual circuits connected to other fragments and meaningless decorative structures were completely wiped out by Professor Ye so easily in just this short moment!
The streamlined structure is constructed according to the principles of modern alchemy, and its volume is even less than one-tenth of the original. However, after discarding the original redundancy, the efficiency has been improved by more than several times.
All runes and circuits revolve around the Supreme Good Emblem, the Vortex, in the center. Preserved within it is the gift from the Vortex, the blessing known as "Rebirth."
Apart from this, everything irrelevant disappeared.
"what is this?"
Ji Jue felt like he was hallucinating.
It is said that destruction is easy but construction is difficult, but if you want to destroy irrelevant parts while retaining the main body or even simplifying it, the difficulty will be extremely high.
Unbelievable!
If he were to do the same job himself, he might need to borrow the workshop's ultra-micro equipment and work hard for several months to carefully complete such a delicate process, peeling off and erasing those irrelevant structures, and it is difficult to guarantee the effect and results.
How could it be so fast?
It was like a precise blast, blowing up everything above and below the eighth floor of a building, while ensuring that even the potted green plants would not lose their leaves after the eighth floor was hit, and that the water and electricity would operate normally.
In this range so small that it requires a microscope to observe, all targets are destroyed and extracted, while the rest remain intact.
"It's my unique skill, I guess."
Ye Xian smiled, which was rare: "Strip off impurities, erase physical properties, disassemble structures - based on one's own experience, through special operations and methods, freely dissociate and reconstruct the alchemical structure inside the object.
It was with this that I passed the reddening assessment of the Taiyi Ring.
Its registered name is 'dissociation technique'.
Want to learn? "
Ji Jue nodded frantically, his eyes shining like light bulbs.
With such an astonishing stunt in front of him, if he didn't wag his tail to flatter, he would probably slap himself in the face when he went home to sleep at night. Why was he pretending to be so high and mighty!
At this time, any hesitation would be a disrespect to your own intelligence and the professor's favor.
Think about the warehouse full of waste. With this skill, do you still worry about not being able to eat dog food in the future? Why do you need to go to great lengths to overload your spirituality and collapse? I'm afraid you can just brag and show off as much as you want?
To exaggerate a little more... In the future, when you meet a Federal Currency warrior like Mr. Lou who is armed to the teeth, won't you be able to just extend your evil little hands?
"very good."
Ye Xian nodded, his expression returning to seriousness: "I'm busy with another project recently, so I can't spare the time for now. Please help me with something."
Where to go? Who to kill? How many to kill?
Seeing the golden exclamation mark rising above Professor Ye’s head, Ji Jue couldn’t hold back any longer. If he didn’t press the confirmation button at this time, would he still be a human being?
"To be exact, go to a place and bring something back for me."
Professor Ye added: "The location is outside of Yacheng, at a rift entrance that will soon appear in the real world."
The first half of the sentence made Ji Jue's smile freeze on his face, and he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. But in the second half, he didn't care about dropping little pearls.
"The item I want you to bring back is a matrix."
Professor Ye said slowly, "It can be said that this matrix is made for you."
"——Its name is [Non-Attack]."
