Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 44 The real name of flesh and blood

When the crispy fish skin and the white and hot fish meat enter your mouth, the juice full of flavor factors pours onto the tip of your tongue when your lips and teeth close, and the aroma fills your mouth and nasal cavity.

Although it was not salted, the meat itself was rich in flavor.

Lin Bo chewed carefully. Ever since he started practicing the Pharmacist Tongue Identification Technique, his eating speed has slowed down significantly. Sensing the medicinal properties has become a habit, and listening to the language of food is an excellent seasoning.

The moment the narration of fish skin and fish meat unfolds on the tip of the tongue, another strong mushroom flavor suddenly emerges, and the world of taste buds is enveloped by the overwhelming whispers of mushrooms.

When the two voices meet, the language of skin and flesh is suppressed and becomes intermittent.

Lin Bo had discovered earlier that true names are infinitely divisible. The scales, skin, flesh, and bones of a fish each have their own true names, and the organs and tissues in the human body also have their own names.

He thought that if he could understand the true names of the flesh, skin, and nerves of living things, it would be of great help in treating injuries.

Lin Bo once tasted his own blood, trying to find out its true name, but he failed to find another thing that could silence the blood.

When a liquid is diluted with another liquid, its sound becomes muffled and difficult to detect. Mixing with irritating liquids can also cause the liquid's properties and composition to change, losing its original flavor and making its true name impossible to detect.

Just like the skin and meat of fish after being roasted at high temperature, the true name will inevitably change slightly, which is different from the true name when it is fresh and cannot be generalized.

The words spoken by the two things are both in conflict and in symphony. If one completely crushes and destroys the other, causing its true name to change and disappear, there is no way to discover it.

Originally, Lin Bo thought that he would not be able to find a way to find out the true name of Flesh and Blood in a short period of time, but now the answer seems to jump before his eyes.

The mimic mushrooms made from the versatile strain have the same components as the original, but also have their own mushroom-like substances, providing an indescribable complex flavor.

The lively and enthusiastic words of the mushrooms successfully forced the flesh and blood into silence, and also gave Lin Bo hope of success.

He slowly finished the food on his plate and poured the cooled fish bones back into the fungal carpet. The mycelium was like a white swamp, swallowing up the shiny fish bones.

The mage touched the creep and praised: "(Magic Words) Delicious."

"Happy... happy..." The mushrooms' whispers were like bubbles rising from carbonated drinks.

"(Magic words) Request, another mushroom."

"Please eat... Please eat... I love those who feed me... I give unconditionally..."

Another cod mushroom with strange eyes emerged from the fungal blanket and grew.

This time, the silver knife flashed in the air, and the bloody fish on the chopping board was cut into thin slices and placed on the plate.

The wizard transformed an iron ball into two chopsticks, connected by a thin thread at the ends, just like the disposable chopsticks in a restaurant, which could be separated with a slight bend.

When you chew a piece of bloody fish sashimi with chopsticks, you will find that the sweet original flavor and the extremely fresh mushroom taste blend together. The former is overwhelmed, but it always lingers as the base flavor.

Lin Bo closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

After a moment he opened his eyes and whispered, "(Mantra) Flesh and Blood."

The fish slices on the plate flew into the air. First, a part of them shattered into mud in the high-frequency vibration and fell down. The remaining fish slices stretched into long and thin noodles, and then returned to their original shape and fell back into the plate.

The mage ate all the fish slices on the plate, then pressed his right forearm with his left palm to sense the subcutaneous muscles.

"(True Word) Flesh and Blood."

A bundle of muscles was driven by the words, twisting like a living snake, and intense nerve pain came like a burn. Lin Bo restored the deformed muscles to their original state, and the pain gradually subsided.

Whether it was fish flesh or human flesh, its true name was the same. However, having tasted whale meat several times and only felt silence, Lin Bo guessed that the true name of whale flesh might be different.

Now he has found the common true name of flesh and blood.

Lin Bo rolled up the fish skin and put it in his mouth to chew. After the same process as before, he got the real name of the skin.

"(Mantra) Skin."

Different things have different compatibility with different control techniques, depending on the characteristics of the thing itself. Just as rocks have a low acceptance of life control techniques and require a lot of magical power to reshape their form, skin also has a low compatibility with flow control techniques. Lin Bo had a lot of effort to tear off a thin, rickety piece of skin from the roof of his mouth.

However, the skin is relatively friendly to the Life Control Technique. It can shrink pores and fine-tune facial features. You only need to think about whether you want single eyelids or double eyelids.

Apart from the true names of the various infinitely subdivided organs and tissues such as fascia, hair, and nails, there are still two most important things that need to be explored: bones and nerves.

The bones are hard to eat, so the true name cannot be detected by taste, so another method is required.

The nerves are delicate, and only the brain and spinal cord can be tasted. Lin Bo planned to wait for the hurricane to pass and order a sheep's head from the butcher in town.

Of course, fish also have nerves in their bodies, and the omnipotent fungus must have recorded the genetic information. It’s just that Lin Bo does not know the corresponding real name, so he cannot make the mycelium produce neuromorphic mushrooms.

He stayed in the mushroom garden for a while and then started today's book-clearing mission.

The dungeon channel had already seen a complete rotation of players, and many familiar nicknames hadn't appeared in ages. [Agilent] and [Picking Up Trash Makes Me Happy] were still advertising in the channel. That paladin [Bulwark] still frequently led newcomers through the Purgatory map.

He watched everyone chatting, laughed for a while, and then opened the copy transmission channel.

Since mastering the true name of steel, the enemies in the mechanical factory have become no longer a threat.

Lin Bo once tried to recite his real name and directly control the robot's steel shell from a distance, but he failed because of the paint blocking it. The exposed cervical vertebrae of the low-level mechanical guards were also coated.

If you want to directly control these machines, you can only get close to them and use touch to sense the steel under the paint and plating.

But he had a much better solution.

The iron ball in his hand stretched into a willow-leaf spike, silently cutting through the air and drilling into the gap between the mechanical guard's cervical vertebrae, defeating the enemy with one blow.

Crossing the first and second floors was just a leisurely stroll, and on the third floor, facing the sword guards and shield soldiers was only slightly more troublesome.

The iron balls in the wizard's hand flew out in pairs, hitting the sword guard's ankles, stretching into two loops, and when they were buckled together, they tied his legs tightly.

With a hook of his finger, the iron ring flew up and pulled the sword guard over, hanging him upside down in the air and pulled him in front of the mage.

He raised his hand and pressed the sword guard's back. He knew the distribution of internal components very well. At the moment of contact, he twisted several steel structures through the maintenance cover, causing the machine to lose power and become paralyzed.

The shield soldier was heavy and difficult to drag. Seeing its defense was impenetrable, Lin Bo tried a few new moves, but found that the old tactics were the most time-saving and labor-saving. He jumped close to the enemy and stuffed the explosive shell into the barrel, which worked every time.

It’s just a pity that I still need to pronounce two real names, and I can’t have one trick to conquer everyone.

After finishing the map run, Lin Bo handed the collected mechanical wreckage to netizens as usual.

Their tacit understanding is fully reflected in the chat records.

[Lighthouse Operator]: Hmm?

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Yeah!

[Network Tip: The friend trading channel is opening, and the portal opening countdown is in progress...]

He did not stay in the East Cliff Grotto for long. The roaring sound of the waves warned the mage that the torrential rain and gale under the hurricane were about to hit again.

This time he did not plan to return to the lighthouse to hide, but to take the opportunity to find out the true names of more natural things.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact the heavy cumulonimbus clouds were being blown at an extremely fast speed by the colorless strong wind.

Lin Bo looked at the seagulls circling low over the offshore reef area to fish. The lower the air pressure, the closer the fish would come to the water surface.

He wanted to tell the seagulls to be careful and return to the cave to avoid the rain, but he could not speak bird language, and the seagulls had enough survival wisdom, so he gave up the idea.

The mage put on a mask and chanted his real name, then flew into the air. A flock of birds circled under his feet, chirping.

"Goodbye, humans," they said.
