Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi stood in the torii passage, turned her head to look at the exit behind her, and was still a little frightened.

It's so scary. How can this red and white mosaic monster have such a large search range? It can chase her even when she runs to the door of the birth point. Isn't this equivalent to blocking the door?

Patchouli, you don't know how to make a game. Don't you know that players hate it most when a new player goes out and is immediately confronted by an unbeatable boss? This is pure suffering and cannot provide any happiness to the players!

Fortunately, the monster's activity range is still limited to the celebration world. If it can still smash through the torii passage, it will definitely be enough to make Lin Zhenxi suffer.

After standing there and calming himself down, Lin Zhenxi looked down at the severely damaged magic broom in his hand. He was very discouraged, but he could only helplessly accept the outcome that he was killed by Mochizuki who opened the door with difficulty.

Next, go out and see if you can fix your magic broom.

After all, as a witch, a broom, a black cat, and a pointed round hat are standard equipment. Although Lin Zhenxi doesn't like wearing hats that block her vision, it doesn't mean she doesn't have them. And now, without the magic broom, Lin Zhenxi always feels like she is missing something.

This feeling is actually very bad.

Using "flying" to pass through the torii passage, Lin Zhenxi directly placed his magic hut near the torii passage. After setting up hidden spells around it, Lin Zhenxi went into his magic hut, rushed straight to the magic operating table, placed the damaged magic broom on the table, and began to check its internal condition.

The situation wasn't optimistic. The long handle of the magic broom had completely broken off, with only a bit of wood bark barely connecting them. Lin Zhenxi examined the internal magic circuit through the jagged cross-section and felt that it was basically impossible to reconnect it.

Of course, there was some good news: the handle of the magic broom was intact. The gesture control system was actually integrated into the handle. The handle being intact meant that Lin Zhenxi didn't need to worry about repairing this complex part of the system.

The long rod part mainly plays a stabilizing role and provides a riding position. The internal magic circuit only serves to connect the control system and the power system, similar to the drive shaft connecting the engine and wheels of a car. Although equally important, it is obviously not as important as the engine and steering wheel gearbox.

Although the circuit was broken, Lin Zhenxi felt that he could use other materials to build a long pole to replace it.

By the way, prepare a comfortable seat for yourself.

After all, everything from the wizarding world is generally somewhat anti-human, overly focusing on functionality while neglecting many other aspects, such as comfort. Apparition and Portkeys are two prime examples, but the magic broom is just as torturous as those two. After all, who would enjoy flying through the air with such a thin stick? It's excruciating for both men and women, isn't it?

After checking the long handle, it was time to examine the all-important tail of the broom. This was the part of the magic broom that generated power, essentially the engine. And now, that engine had been crushed by the two large balls.

Lin Zhenxi found the magic circle responsible for outputting thrust at the roots of the branches of the broom's tail. Unfortunately, it was also broken into pieces. Although Lin Zhenxi could piece it together, it would be wishful thinking to expect that this would restore its function.

Lin Zhenxi thought about it and decided to first split the magic broom into three parts: the handle, the long pole and the tail, and then remove the copper ring that tied the branches to the broom tail, so that the broom tail can be completely spread out.

Two curved hooks extended from this copper ring, serving as footrests for lowering the body to sprint. However, Lin Zhenxi had never used such an unsightly position, so she only used these two footrests a few times. As for now, they were completely useless, having been completely deformed.

Lin Zhenxi removed the copper ring and glanced at the inner wall, discovering that it was also engraved with runes. After reading it, Lin Zhenxi realized that the copper ring could restrain magic power, confining it from dispersing in all directions to only one direction.

Very good, not too difficult, then you are useless.

Throwing the discarded copper ring aside, Lin Zhenxi began to dismantle the branches at the end of the magic broom. These branches had also been soaked in magic potion, making their surface smooth yet remarkably hard. Most importantly, they had excellent magical permeability, effectively acting as an extension of the magic circle that generated the thrust.

The principle is similar to that of Lin Zhenxi's hair, which turns purple once activated. Both increase the contact area with the outside world to make the magic circle have a higher magic conversion efficiency.

After removing all the supporting branches, Lin Zhenxi finally saw a circular magic disk, the power source of the entire magic broom. Unfortunately, with the disappearance of the surrounding supporting branches, the disk shattered into several pieces and scattered on the table.

Lin Zhenxi pieced the fragments together, not sparing even the smallest piece. After reassembling them, Lin Zhenxi obtained a complete magic circle base, but with several cracks on it.

Although it is now invalid, this does not prevent Lin Zhenxi from reading it and directly copying a similar one.

The development of magic in the wizarding world is somewhat distorted. They seem to have lost a lot of things in the process of inheritance, resulting in their basic parts being unreliable. This is reflected in the lagging development of epigraphy in practical applications.

Anyway, after reading this magic circle foundation, Lin Zhenxi found that it wasn't difficult to understand the content. It felt like asking a high school student to do a junior high school test paper. Although it wasn't as straightforward as an elementary school test, after just a casual reading, he knew how to do it.

Compared to what Teacher Patchouli taught, the inscription literature in the wizarding world was simply entry-level.

Lin Zhenxi saw hope in improving the magic broom. Even the inscriptions of the wizarding world could make a magic broom that flew at such a fast speed. So why didn't she use her knowledge to improve the power system of this broom and make a magic broom with more powerful power and richer functions?

Lin Zhenxi immediately did what he said. He first copied the broken magic circle base completely based on it, and then tested it. He found that although the functions were normal, Lin Zhenxi's craftsmanship did not seem to be as good as others, and there were certain differences in performance compared with the original.

It's only ten to fifteen percent, and this downward deviation is completely acceptable.

Lin Zhenxi also believed that as long as he was more careful when drawing the magic circle, the efficiency of this magic circle would continue to improve. However, it was probably unrealistic to expect it to completely surpass the original. After all, this magic broom was also made by a master. If Lin Zhenxi could surpass the craftsmanship of a lifetime or even generations with just a few tricks, it would be too exaggerated.

This result is enough, because Lin Zhenxi does not plan to continue using the original version, but plans to innovate and make a more powerful power system.

The original magic circle was actually quite ingenious, utilizing existing resources to the utmost, converting all magic power into propulsion for the magic broom. However, due to the limitations of his inscription skills, Lin Zhenxi saw many circuitous designs, which not only took up more space but also made the originally simple circuit cumbersome.

It's like calculating a factorial. The dumb way is, of course, to start at 1 and keep adding up to the desired number, while the simpler way is to just apply a formula and quickly get the answer. While the result is the same, the simpler and more efficient method allows you to solve a complex problem in one go.

After Lin Zhenxi's careful design, a magic broom power base that is nearly one-third smaller than the original, but with even better performance on paper, appeared on the drawing in front of Lin Zhenxi.

This thing is quite simple. It is actually a conversion device that converts magic power into power. Lin Zhenxi has experience in making magic power cannons, so it can be said that making this thing is not difficult at all.

But this thing... is too small, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Due to the overall simplicity of the magic circle, the thickness of the lines became a problem. If they were too thick, the lines would be too close together, making it easy for magic to burst into flames during high-power operation. If the lines were thinner, the magic power they could accommodate would be reduced, also making it easy for the magic circuit to melt during high-power operation.

This...could it be that even if the magic circuit was simplified, it still had to be scaled up? Then what was the point of all the brain cells she had previously wasted?

No, even if it doesn't make sense, Lin Zhenxi must make it meaningful. After thinking about the feasibility, Lin Zhenxi cast a copy spell on the design, causing two magic circles to appear side by side on the drawing.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi has another choice, which is to use materials with higher magic tolerance and lower magic resistance to make this magic circle. The most famous ones are refined gold and secret silver, and there are also chalcedony, the magic core purification liquid of high-level magical beasts, and so on.

But Lin Zhenxi would rather solve this problem through design. After all, the original magic broom did not use those precious materials when making the magic circle base. If Lin Zhenxi did, wouldn't it mean that Lin Zhenxi could only rely on materials to win, and was not as good as the magic broom designers in the wizarding world in terms of magic circle design?

The ingenious desire to win drives Lin Zhenxi to innovate in design instead of choosing to use the simpler ability of money to solve this not-so-small problem.
