The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　And there's no need to even try; its spell resistance is likely quite low.

　In actual combat, it's perfectly acceptable to keep the "Magic Book" by your side. However, in the dueling arena, it's like the Magic Orb—something that needs to be protected.

　Fortunately, 4K paper is not particularly large in length and width, and its solid and void properties can ensure that it can be hidden in some small gaps, making it easy to protect itself.

　……

　"In the name of Darkdemon, Summon Magic!"

　A brilliant, dark golden light illuminated the bedroom, and a ball of light called "Pride" flew out from the card "Pride 1" and instantly entered "Magical Book".

　Just moments later, the grimoire that had been floating motionless in the palm of his hand began to tremble violently.

　It's as if, after the glacier melts, the ancient life sealed within it awakens from its long slumber.

　A connection was established between consciousness and body.

　"Magic Book" obtained

　It possesses a level of intelligence that is difficult for magical spirits to acquire!

　Although Dark had become accustomed to it, the ability to endow a pseudo-life with the intelligence of a higher life form was always a power that seemed like a miracle.

　And in this miracle, the "Magic Secretary" was reborn!

　This magical spirit, which can at most assist in summoning in actual combat, has had its value comprehensively elevated!

　"Magic Secretary 0001, pledges my loyalty to my master!"

　To Dark's utter surprise, this magical spirit, which was not a Digimon, mastered the ability of "language" the moment it gained sentience.

　Although its voice is mechanical and monotonous, like that of an AI, it is clearly speaking based on its own will.

　"0001 is too awkward to pronounce, so let's just call it 01, zero one."

　"Yes, Master, I am Zero One, I am Zero One, beep beep beep, beep beep beep."

　"..." Watching the magical secretary happily dancing in circles in the air, Dark suddenly realized that beneath its "knowledgeable" exterior, there was likely a "goofy" heart.

　He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Zero One, now that you have the ability to recognize sounds, can you convert those sounds into written records?"

　"You can try, you can try, beep beep beep!"

　"Attempt failed, attempt failed, beep beep beep!"

　So noisy!

　Dark quickly asked, "What was the reason for the failure?"

　The Magic Secretary immediately responded: "Reporting, Master, Zero One cannot read, beep beep beep!"

　"All right!"

　Dark took a deep breath; this was indeed a problem.

　Who would have thought that a book could not read?

　"Looks like I'll have to start teaching from scratch again, but a magic book that can automatically record text and images shouldn't be bad at learning. Now there's another problem..."

　Dark glanced at the magic book that was still spinning, and picked up a pen from the table: "Zero One, can you record images from reality, like... this pen!"

　"You can try, you can try, beep beep beep!"

　The magic book finally stopped spinning, automatically flipped to the first page, and then began to record with the pen.

　The process of recording is like the process of sketching.

　On that page of paper, the entirety of a pen was drawn at a speed visible to the naked eye!

　Aside from being black and white 2D, even the details are exactly the same!

　This is more than a sketch; it's practically a photograph!

　"very good!"

　At this moment, Dark gained a new understanding of this magic book.

　The "automatic bookmarking" function was far more powerful than he had imagined.

　It will be much more convenient to take reading notes or record scenery in the future.

　When encountering murals that need to be documented, it can also save time in drawing.

　If the "Magic Secretary" can be educated to acquire the ability to process these graphic and textual information, it will undergo further transformation.

　"From now on, you'll stay by my side forever."

　"Thank you, Master... Hmph! I'm not happy at all about being able to stay by your side all the time! Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!"

　"Hmm? Still under the influence of 'Arrogance'? That's alright then. Now let's test the 'Auto-Summon' function."

　……

　The experiment with "automatic summoning" was also very simple.

　Dark took the "Magical Book" magic card in his hand, infused it with magic power to form a magic power cycle, and then began to cast the "Normal Summoning" spell.

　The moment he successfully summoned the creature, his summoning was completely recorded by the "Magic Book".

　After that, until the summoning spell is switched, "Magical Book" will continue to use this template for automatic summoning.

　With this feature, it will be very convenient to summon magical spirits one by one in the dormitory or other places.

　The limitation is that only one summoning spell can be recorded at a time.

　Furthermore, the cooldown for switching summoning spells is as long as an hour, making it virtually impossible to switch freely.

　Even so, it is already a very useful finishing move.

　It's amazing that such a rare and useful magical spirit can be crafted from a bunch of "junk"!

　"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."

　A smile gradually spread across Dak's face.

　"Beep, beep, beep! Beep, beep!"

　"In the name of Darkdemon, a magical summoning—'Silence Potion'!"

　……

Chapter 375 Darkdemon Overflowing (4/233)

　严禁「魔导书记」再发出「嘀嘀嘀」的尾音之后，达克便挑了一本基础教材让发出「biubiubiu」声音的「魔导书记」记录下来。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　Then, he personally taught him the basics.

　For a magic book that can use the text it records as part of its memory, the most important thing is to teach it some logical cognition and the most basic knowledge.

　For example, phonetic transcription of letters, spelling structure, sentence grammar, etc.

　Once it gets the hang of it, the "Magical Secretary" will probably learn faster than even the clever Gatomon.

　However, its problem is also obvious: the amount of text that a book, as a medium, can record is limited.

　As information increases, it still needs to transform the information recorded in books into its own memory—the part located in the soul's consciousness.

　However, before it gets filled, the "Magic Book," with its book-like cheat code, can do whatever it wants in this ocean of information.

　for.

　……

　midnight.

　As the clock struck midnight, Dark concluded his introductory instruction to the "Magic Book".

　The teaching results were quite good; the Magic Secretary grasped knowledge much faster than the other Magic Spirits.

　It even gave Darker the illusion that it could surpass it tomorrow.

　"Take a bath to relax."

　Dak immersed himself in the hot water, leaving only half his head above water, and watched the slowly rising steam as he unfolded the Great Sin Index.

　"System, expand the indicators."

　[Unfolding...]

　After a while.

　Seven indicators emerged in Dac's field of vision.

　Compared to the end of last month, the result is:

　[Arrogance: 102→98]

　Jealousy: 38 → 39

　[Rage: 84→83]

　Laziness: 63 → 67

　Greed: 98 → 96

　[Binge eating: 70 → 72]

　[Paradise: 103→102]

　In March, I drew a total of 6 points of "Pride", 6 points of "Greed" and 3 points of "Bliss".

　Pride and Ecstasy, as the perennial champions among the Seven Deadly Sins, continue to rise relentlessly this month.

　Even with 6 points and 3 points being extracted respectively, their upward trend still couldn't be stopped.

　Greed, deliberately indulged by Dak, also grew against the trend, but it was clearly still not enough...

　A grave sin like "greed" is ultimately different from "bliss." The more you try to consciously improve yourself, the more you realize that you are not actually greedy...

　Furthermore, one cannot be too indulgent, lest the price surge suddenly.

　This is actually quite contradictory.

　As for the other major sins, apart from "wrath," they only rise slightly.

　This is a good phenomenon.

　……

　As of now, Dark's remaining reserves of sins are:

　[Arrogance]: 0

　[Paradise]: 2

　Greed: 2

　……

　Given the current situation, it will be extremely difficult to refine "Greed 3" in April.

　Because the "greed" index is only 96, the amount that can be extracted is only 1 point.

　Of course, if one can restrain the growth of "greed" by using the "desire to win," that would also work.

　It takes 6 extractions to get the remaining 8 points.

　After that, there are only 4 more chances to draw in April, and you can only draw 6 more "Sins".

　If these six "great sins" are pride, then they are insufficient to cultivate a "fruit of great sin".

　However, "Greed" and "Bliss" can be combined to reach 7 points.

　This means that if one wants to cultivate the "fruit of great sin" next month, one can only choose between "bliss" and "greed".

　However, there's still about a week before the actual decision needs to be made, so we'll see then.

　Dak folded the towel and placed it over his forehead, letting the steam envelop him.

　If tomorrow's competition goes smoothly, we will have the opportunity to re-enter the secret passage.

　At that time, he can begin to develop his ideas about "living metal".
