Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 43 Natural Disaster Opportunities
The wind and rain are mingling, their languages ​​are intertwined, every ending of the wind is the beginning of every sentence of the rain, when they roar together, all sounds in heaven and earth are silent.

Late in the night, sleepiness set in, and the wizard put down his book. Like all the people on the island affected by the hurricane, he hid in the shelter, and could only be the king of this small man-made world, staring at his subjects, including tables, chairs, and benches, in bewilderment amid the roaring rain.

Lin Bo checked the Fresnel lens, then the rotating mechanism on the third floor, to ensure it was safe. The light from this lighthouse might be the only hope of survival for some ships at sea.

After maintaining his daily work, the night watchman raised his hand to press the window glass that was trembling in the wind and rain, capturing its silent words.

Moments later, awakening from his suspended animation, the mage received a new true name.

The hurricane was a great helper to him, its roar was so deafening that it could suppress those things that were originally tough and proud.

He went down to the second floor and gently stroked an old stone exposed by the peeling wall. The first and second floors of the lighthouse were built of stone and cement, the remains of the old lighthouse. The floors above the second floor were made of brick and stone and were newly built decades ago.

In the ordinary drizzle, the stones whisper steadily, and even the noisy rain cannot drown out their deep and clear words. Even when struck with metal chisels, the rock's deep voice is never suppressed.

But now, even it was silenced by the hurricane's fury. Tropical cyclones, with their accumulated energy of the sun-baked ocean, were unstoppable once unleashed.

As the hurricane approached, the mage decided to try to sense things that were difficult to keep silent about, such as rocks and trees. This was an opportunity on his path of study.

new week.

Last night's heavy rain came on and off several times, and the strong winds were intermittent. During the period when it was raging, sudden downpours and strong winds would come from time to time, and people could only go out for simple activities during the intervals between the wrath of the weather.

The bakery was closed, and the fish market near the pier had only a few tarpaulins and wooden poles that had not been put away in time. The shops along the street were temporarily closed, and there was not a single customer in the White Snail Tavern.

The pedestrians on the street were just rushing back and forth.

The night watchman walked through Stone Tower Town, holding an umbrella, observing the damage. The islanders were already accustomed to hurricanes, and their houses were sturdy and stable, with no collapse. The accumulated water on the roads had mostly flowed into ditches and rivers, and there was no flooding for the time being.

He also asked if there were any townspeople injured in accidents last night who needed medical attention, but the results were relatively optimistic, indicating that no such incidents had occurred. Instead, Lin Bo was invited to breakfast at his home by many people, but he declined all of them.

At the edge of the woods where the wizard often went, several sturdy trees were broken by last night's strong wind. The huge and lush tree roots along with the thick brown-red soil were exposed to the air, reminding Lin Bo of scarlet fish gills.

This kind of weather was not suitable for picking herbs. The ground was muddy and slippery, and the herbs were wilted, so he just took a look from a distance and then turned to go to the East Cliff Grotto.

As he expected, the heavy rain brought by the hurricane formed runoff at the entrance of the cave and poured into the courtyard.

Fortunately, the mushroom greenhouse was built on a cement foundation and was not soaked by water.

The lights in the cave were still on, and the electric heater in the greenhouse was emitting a warm glow. When the temperature plummeted due to the strong winds last night, the greenhouse became a rare warm shelter.

Lin Bo arrived at the cave and found that the seagulls had gathered near the shed to avoid the rain. They landed on the roof, jumped on the concrete foundation, and flew in and out of the ventilation windows that were not closed tightly.

"(Magic) Hello." The wizard was stunned for a moment before greeting. He couldn't speak bird language, and these seagulls couldn't understand magic, so he just said it casually.

He was answered by the sly squawking of gulls. Fresh, bloody fish bones lay scattered at their feet. These creatures, which used to dine on the rocks, now moved to the warmer parts of the greenhouse, filling the courtyard with the stench of a fish market.

"(Spell) Bird, take the body away." Lin Bo mobilized the spirit of words and injected mana into his magic words.

The seagulls' noise stopped abruptly. They grabbed the fish bones with their claws, spread their wings and flew out of the cave like a group of white bats, throwing the fish bones into the sea before flying back.

Pushing the door and entering the greenhouse, there are quite a few seagulls inside, walking around in a grand manner, eating fruit mushrooms produced from all-purpose strains, looking very familiar.

Lin Bo checked the electrical equipment and found that the batteries still had enough power for three or four days. He then took out the water and fertilizer he had prepared from the bucket in the corner and watered the fungus blanket.

After another week of growth, the fungal mat had already broken through the original culture medium. Lin Bo added a circle of eight wooden boxes around it so that the mycelium could stretch out.

The medicinal mushrooms grow abundantly in clusters, ensuring a plentiful supply of medicinal materials even on days like this with a hurricane. A gentle touch of the mycelium whispers in my ear: "The feeder... likes... is full... invites new friends to eat mushrooms..."

Lin Bo wanted to praise them for their generosity, but he didn't know the magic word yet, so he said they were kind, and the soft mycelium swayed happily from side to side.

"Eat...mushrooms!"

The tentacles of the fungal blanket contracted slightly, as if gathering strength, and a cod-shaped mushroom slowly grew in the corner. The finished product was two fingers long, and its mimicry resembled a low-quality plastic toy, a bit abstract, with a pair of lifeless fish eyes emitting a strange light.

Lin Bo was silent for a moment. It seemed that the mushrooms' seagull friends had brought them gifts.

This is the first animal gene absorbed by the omnipotent bacteria, which means that the genetic information library has been expanded again.

Introducing new species hastily would greatly contaminate the gene pool, potentially leading to unstable traits in the finished mushrooms. However, he could use the intercommunication between all things to manipulate the mycelium into producing the medicinal mushrooms he needed, so this didn't matter to him.

He picked up the fish mushroom. Although it looked abstract, the imitation ability of the fungus was actually very detailed. The scales, skin, bones, flesh, and even blood vessels and nerves were almost the same as the real thing.

Because of nerve reflex, the cod mushroom will still struggle in the mage's hands.

The wizard hit the fish's head with a palm knife, giving the restless mushroom a baby-like sleep.

"(True Word) Steel."

Now, whenever he goes out, he carries some iron balls with him. They are put in a hunter's ammunition leather bag and usually placed in the pocket of his windbreaker. Each of these iron balls is the size of a grape and weighs more than one pound in total.

He sensed an iron ball with his sense of touch, then controlled it with his real name, sucking the iron ball up through his pocket and stretching it into a sharp knife in his hand.

He held the fish's tail with his other hand. A silver light flashed in the air, and the knife cut off the fish's head. Then he moved along the fish's skin, causing the scales to fall off. He cut open the fish's belly, inserted the knife into it, and scraped out the internal organs guided by touch.

These removed parts will be reabsorbed by the fungal mat, eliminating waste.

The iron knife came out from the fish's belly, with some mucus adhering to its surface. Then, under the control of the wizard, it was stretched into a thin plate, vibrating and humming in the air, and the mucus on the surface fell off, and the iron plate quickly became red hot.

Lin Bo put the spread-out fish meat on the grill, the fat inside melted and flowed, the protein denatured due to the heat, and a variety of flavor factors were released in the high temperature, and a faint smoke rose.

Due to the thickness of the material, the iron plate's heat storage capacity is insufficient, and the fish quickly cools down after being placed on it. Usually in this case, the fish skin cannot be charred to form a crispy shell under high temperature, and it is easy to stick to the pan.

Fortunately, the high-speed vibration of the iron plate resulted in frequent but brief contact with the food, creating a thin layer of air between the two. Therefore, even when the iron plate's temperature dropped rapidly, the fish skin didn't stick to the iron plate. The result was surprisingly good-looking.

This wasn't the first time Lin Bo had done this. He applied his imperial technique to every aspect of his life.

He tried to perform three different techniques simultaneously, but failed because he couldn't focus on all three. This problem was not easy to solve.

Humans have always been single-minded, unlike computer chips which can run on multiple cores in parallel. So if you want to multitask, you either need to practice repeatedly until you become proficient; or you need to be gifted and have great mental strength; or you need to use some special techniques.

On the Duolian Duoyi trading platform of Zongwang, there is training for multitasking skills, but they are basically not suitable for purebred original humans.

For skills like "Left and Right Fighting", multitasking is the threshold for learning it, not the effect it brings.

Although there is no suitable skill book, there is no shortage of relevant research materials. There are always players who will try various ways to gain the ability to multitask.

Lin Bo did not choose those brain modification technologies that looked weird, but bought some basic training materials to learn from them. He has not yet achieved any interim results.

He took another iron ball and pinched it into a plate, and then took another one and pinched it into a fork, and began to taste the dry-fried fish-shaped mushroom.
