Chapter 9 New Code: Wind Element
Looking at the orange-red fireball in his hand, Rom stroked his chin, seemingly still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Teacher, I think the color of this fireball is too ordinary; it might not be intimidating enough."
Rom said to himself, "How about changing the color?"
He opened the system and skillfully entered the code:
[Bring up the underlying code panel -> Locate the Color parameter -> Modify the value: #0000FF]
As the modification was made, the originally blazing orange-red fireball suddenly emitted a slight "humming" sound, and its color instantly turned into a dark purple!
In an instant, the entire dimly lit stone house was bathed in a faint purple light.
"ah?!"
Hamelin lost his grip on his staff this time, and it fell to the ground with a "thud".
"And this shape too."
Rom tilted his head, continuing to examine the blue fireball, and said, "A round shape is too old-fashioned. It looks like it might bounce around randomly, and it wouldn't be good if it accidentally hurt itself. How about changing it to a shape that looks more stable and powerful?"
[Locate the Shape parameter -> Adjust the model algorithm to: Cube]
To Hamelin's stunned gaze, the round, dark blue fireball seemed to have been sliced by a knife, transforming in a second into a square, angular purple fire brick.
Rom was very satisfied; the flame-patterned bricks looked very powerful.
"you…"
Hamelin felt a tightness in his chest and his breath hitched.
His orthodox magical education from childhood taught him that all spells and incantations were truths summarized by great gods and sages, and were considered sacred, never to be altered or desecrated.
For thousands of years, sorcerers have been able to learn these spells with extreme caution.
And his own apprentice... this kid can not only cast spells instantly, but also forcibly change the appearance, color, and shape of fire elements like kneading dough?!
Hamelin stretched out a trembling hand and stopped him:
"Stop! Rom... This is blasphemy! This is an insult to the God of Elements!!..."
He had just finished shouting when suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fell straight backward.
Holy crap!
Luo Mu was startled and quickly extinguished the "fire brick" in his hand. He rushed over to support the old mage.
"Teacher! Please don't die! I only made some minor changes to the interface; I didn't alter the core logic!"
Hamelin lay on the straw mat, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath, his half-open eyes staring at Rom for a long time.
There was shock and fear in his eyes.
But in the end, Hamelin gradually calmed his breathing, and all his emotions turned into a long sigh.
"Why…"
The old monk shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes slightly red.
He suddenly felt relieved.
Well... perhaps, a true genius should be a creator who dares to defy all rules.
My life, which has been so conventional and traditional, has ultimately been nothing more than the tragedy of a failed, low-level mage. Now that my student has surpassed me, what reason do I have to restrict him?
"Romance..."
Hamelin patted Rom's arm, his voice tinged with melancholy:
"I... I'm an old man, and there's nothing more I can teach you for now. Since you can read my spell manual directly and even create... such things, then you should study it on your own."
"Furthermore, the toxins in my body have not been cleared, so I cannot forcibly perform the spell to demonstrate it to you for the time being."
The old master waved his hand, "In the future, if you have any questions about magic, just ask me."
Hearing his teacher say that, Luo Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For a few seconds just now, he was genuinely afraid that the old man would report him to the magic association and then burn him as a heretic.
"Okay, teacher."
Hamelin's parchment magic manual only recorded a few basic fire spells, which he had almost mastered last night, so there was really no need to teach him step by step anymore.
Just then, Rom suddenly remembered something.
"Teacher, speaking of things I don't understand, there's really something I don't get it."
Romulus reached into his robes and pulled out the exquisitely sealed silk scroll, handing it to Hamelin:
"Do you think this is a spell or incantation?"
Hamelin took the exquisite silk scroll, opened it, glanced at it briefly, and then frowned.
He pointed to a string of strange symbols on the first line of the scroll and slowly read out a string of extremely awkward and light syllables.
The pronunciation was completely different from the deep, resonant sound of fire spells; Rom had never heard it before.
But at that instant, the system in Luo Mu's eyes reacted immediately.
[New underlying voice environment detected, attempting to decompile...]
Looking at the scrolling data on the screen, Luo Mu's eyes lit up.
The system actually started compiling code based on Hamelin's pronunciation!
Now I understand. It turns out that two conditions need to be met to input spells into the system:
1. The pronunciation of spells and incantations.
2. Character version of the spell runes.
I only had the scroll's spell characters, but I didn't know how to pronounce them, no wonder the input failed.
"The old man's years of reading haven't been in vain! He's quite knowledgeable! He's practically a built-in translator."
However, Hamelin stopped after reading a few words, his expression becoming very serious:
"Rom, what I'm reciting is the most basic wind element spell, [Wind Walk]."
The runes on this scroll are all wind magic! Where did you get them?
Wind magic?
Of course, Luo Mu couldn't say that it was stolen by some blond thief's cronies, so he could only laugh it off.
"Oh, I found this in the snow outside town this morning. I've never seen the writing on it before, so I wanted to bring it back to study it."
Upon hearing the word "study," Hamelin's expression darkened further.
"Nonsense! The ironclad rule for mages is that they can only worship and be in harmony with one elemental god! Only then will the elemental god grant them more power."
Hamelin sternly instructed, "If you try to learn too much at once and force yourself to study elemental magic from other schools, it will disrupt the magical frequency within your body, and you may even be abandoned and attacked by the elemental gods!"
Seeing that Luo Mu remained silent, he sighed deeply and continued:
"Luo Mu, you must not do anything reckless. As long as you master the fire element, that will be enough for you to establish yourself on the continent."
After the heavy snow season, I will take you to the Mage Association in the city. Once you pass the assessment and receive the Mage Badge, you will truly become a respected mage…”
As the old man began his long-winded lecture again, Luo Mu knew that if he let him keep going, he would never finish.
"Teacher, you're right. I'll go shovel the snow at the door first."
Luo Mu quickly made up an excuse, grabbed a tattered broom woven from pine needles, and slipped out of the stone house.
Standing in the snow at the doorway, Luo Mu pretended to sweep the snow, but his consciousness had already eagerly sunk into the system.
Wind-based spell?
This means that you have mastered a completely new coding language. The more coding logic you learn, the more trump cards you have to protect yourself.
Besides, who complains about having too much data?
The most popular thing right now is big data; the more data you have, the more you can deduce.
Leaning on his broom, he pulled up the [Windwalker] code that he had just decompiled from the system and began to examine it:
【Wind Walk】
Call_Server("Light-hearted Wind Maiden"); // Call the wind-elemental sub-server
//The following is a gesture rendering and prayer text
Print_Effect(The gentle breeze lifts the girl's long skirt);
Render_Smell("Carrying the fragrance of morning dew and the hem of a girl's skirt");
Print_Effect(Please brush my devout hair);
Print_Effect(Let the birds in the clouds sing for me);
For (i=0; i<100; i++){
Verify_Pose (Arms must be outstretched in a flying posture); //
}
If (verification passed){
Inject_Wind("Inject wind into legs"); //
[Estimated computing power consumption: 12 points.]
"..."
"What the hell?"
Looking at this code, Rom's lips twitched.
This can't even be called a mountain of shit code; it's like the guy who wrote it was drunk and pissed on horse piss!
"A gentle breeze lifting a girl's long skirt," "The fragrance emanating from beneath a girl's skirt"?
The person who invented this spell must have been a lecherous old man!
Perhaps, his initial attempt to summon wind elements was for this very purpose! He later changed it to the Wind Walk spell.
It must be like this.
Rom looked disgusted and began to drastically delete and modify the code.
He removed all the useless prayers and also cut off the extremely shameful spellcasting verification.
Ultimately, he completed the code rewriting according to his own ideas.
Optimized version of [Wind Walk]:
Target = caster's legs;
Action = Reduce air resistance;
Execute = Inject wind element thrust;
[Estimated computing power consumption: 2 points.]
[Do you want to try running it?]
"Run (executive)".
Luo Mu mentally pressed Enter, ready to experience the thrill of speed.
...
However, a moment later, the system provided feedback.
【drop】
An error occurred; the process failed.
[Deduct 2 points of computing power.]
