Wizard of science

Li He took a careful look at the three people who were arguing with the female apprentice in front of the counter, and recognized them as half acquaintances.

The three people on the other side were the three first-level wizard apprentices he met when he left the rotten swamp. The one who was talking seemed to be named Mott.

Logically speaking, since he left the Rotten Swamp early, he should have returned to Dark Heart Academy to deliver the mission faster than the other three.

But instead of taking the shortest path back, he took a few turns on the road and went to other places to look for combat trial opportunities. This delayed him for some time, resulting in him coming back early and arriving late.

The three of Mott and the service female apprentice continued to argue.

"Andina, right?" Mott looked at the female apprentice and said, "This is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Which mission has had problems before? I know that at this time in previous years, the swamp black crocodiles must have migrated, but Who knows that they are too lazy to move this year, maybe they are still sleeping in the swamp. There are only two magic stones in total. I really can't lie. If you don't believe me, you can send other people to investigate. If it doesn't work..."

As he spoke, Mote saw Li He, like a person walking at night who suddenly saw the lighting.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly pointed at Li He and said: "He, he, he...he was also on a mission to investigate the rotten swamp. He was right in front of me. If you don't believe me, ask him. He didn't find any trace of the migration of the swamp black crocodile."

"Really?" The female service apprentice named Andina looked over to confirm.

"Yes." Li He nodded lightly, walked to the service desk, and handed over a piece of parchment that simply recorded the investigation information.

Andina took it and scanned it quickly:

Day 1: No findings…

Day 2: No findings...

Day 3: No findings...

"..." Andina suddenly fell silent. She had to say that she had never seen this kind of situation before. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, I'll count you guys as completing the task, but you still have to report it to the wizard in charge. After all, rotten There should be a large number of swamp black crocodiles appearing in the swamp at this time of year. This year is so abnormal, so be on guard and wait a moment."

After speaking, Andina turned away from the service desk and walked towards the inner room.

The other party returned more than ten minutes later, and confirmed the delivery of the task to Li He, Mott and a wizard apprentice who had just returned, and gave them the magic stones as rewards.

Then a new investigation mission was released.

Originally, the investigation of the rotten swamp usually lasted about ten days. But this time, under the instructions of the managing wizard, it was directly extended to twenty days.

And a new secondary task was released, which rewarded thirty magic stones and required investigating the cause of the abnormal behavior of the swamp black crocodile this year.

Mott and the others were a little moved and began to discuss whether they should take the risk and take on the mission to see what was going on deep in the rotten swamp.

Li He didn't take it seriously and turned around to leave.

He knows better than anyone what exactly is going on in the depths of the Rotten Swamp.

Why don’t swamp black crocodiles migrate?

Because there are no more swamp black crocodiles.

However, he does not lack thirty magic stones, so he will naturally not expose his secrets.

The reason why he went to the Rotting Swamp and left the academy was just to break through the physical limits through fighting and break the meditation bottleneck.

but……

To be honest, although the effect is there, it is not very ideal.

…

Blackstone Castle, main test area of ​​the main castle, first floor.

Li He sat at the test table as before, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about the gains and losses of the past few days.

Yes, there must be some.

He killed almost the entire swamp black crocodile in the rotten swamp, and also killed numerous demonized creatures in other places. Even if the value was not high, the collected materials were worth a fortune.

In addition, in the continuous battles, his fighting skills have improved a lot, and his body has also been tested to a certain extent.

It's just that... it hasn't reached the level of breaking through physiological limits and breaking the meditation bottleneck.

Because there are too many variables in battle.

With the means he has mastered, when fighting demonized creatures, he is basically crushing them.

And he deliberately limited his means and forced himself into dangerous situations, but he couldn't control the specific scale.

After all, demonized creatures will not cooperate with him.

This made his gains from combat lower than expected.

According to estimates, it will take at least two or three months of hard work to break through the current bottleneck.

This time is obviously still a bit long.

But if this method is not adopted, what method can be used to be more efficient?

Li He kept thinking...for a while he stood up and walked around the room.

"Ta-ta, tap-ta, tap-ta..."

The footsteps echoed, and after a few minutes, they stopped slightly.

Li He raised his head, looked at the air in mid-air, and said to himself: "The combat breakthrough method has been proven to be feasible, and the time it takes is almost the shortest compared to other methods... But now we still need more Make it shorter to make the combat breakthrough method more efficient."

"Speaking of which... the direct principle of the combat breakthrough method is actually to use combat to put the body in a physiological limit state, squeeze the life potential, and break through the bottleneck of meditation. But conventional combat is too uncontrollable, the combat conditions are uncontrollable, and the combat objects It’s also uncontrollable. Just because it’s uncontrollable, it’s difficult to accurately achieve the desired state.”

"So, what if we find a way to make the battle controllable? What if the battle is carried out in a laboratory? Limit the fighting environment and limit the objects of the battle... For example, let Alex come to help, or capture demonized creatures from the outside and kill the opponent. Adjust to a specific state before fighting."

"This is an idea, it is an idea..." Li He's eyes brightened. He has always positioned himself as a researcher, not a combat enthusiast. I don't mind whether such a strictly limited laboratory battle is valuable, as long as it can achieve its goal.

"Then..." Li He thought about it and wanted to take action, so he took a step out of the door.

But just after taking two steps, his feet suddenly stopped again.

"That's not right!" Li He said, his voice a bit high.

"No, there's no need!" Li He said to himself seriously, "There's no need to go to such trouble... Fighting breakthrough method, fighting is just a means, what really affects the result is the physiological state of the body. So, why bother? If you want to keep fighting, you just need to let your body's physiological condition reach the limit of fighting to the point of death."

"To sum up, the physical changes during combat are just the first feeling of pain, stimulating the nerves to excite the nervous system and improve reaction ability, and then the secretion of hormones such as adrenaline to improve the body's metabolic capacity...

The battle continues, blood flow speeds up, body temperature rises, lactic acid accumulates in the muscles causing soreness, metabolic waste accumulates, and the human body begins to tire...

At the end of the battle, the human body begins to lose blood due to injuries, and physiological indicators begin to decline. However, in a life-and-death crisis, the nervous system is highly excited, and hormones in the body are also secreted in large quantities...eventually reaching the physiological limit..."

"In this case..." Li He pursed his lips and concluded seriously for a while, "In this case, we can completely simulate this physiological limit state through surgery. Although it is unrealistic, it is scientific and scientifically close to death. .”

"So, give it a try?"

"Try it!" Li He looked determined and strode out.

…

In the blink of an eye, two days later.

Blackstone Castle, special functional area, pest experimental area.

Li He put on his loose surgical clothes and looked at Alex, who looked nervous.

"How's it going? Are you ready?"
