Witch Special

The company's weapons, without exception, are all soul-bound items. The manifestation of their soul-binding is the ability to sense the weapon's current state through the use of the will.

This attribute is somewhat different from internal vision. Although there is no problem on Lin Zhenxi's side, there are still special envoys who choose technology-oriented or simple prop-oriented armaments. At least in the novice stage, before they gain any special abilities, they have no way to conveniently check their internal situation at any time.

Therefore, the company thoughtfully set up an inspection interface for the weapons. As long as the special envoy finds a quiet place, closes his eyes and calms down, thinking that he wants to communicate with his weapons, he can see the status bar of his weapons and obtain a lot of information from it that he had no channels to obtain before.

For example, the many forms of Lin Zhenxi's elder wand were discovered by her through internal inspection. If Wu Bei hadn't told Lin Zhenxi this information himself, how would Lin Zhenxi know how many forms a wand that couldn't speak could have?

The Witch's Book is an advanced weapon, one level higher than the Elder Wand and the Space Cube, and the functions it can provide naturally far exceed the former two.

For example, the Elder Wand and Space Cube interfaces resemble a computer's BIOS, requiring only five keys: up, down, left, right, and enter. And the Witch's Book? It's a direct Windows 10 interface, complete with a mouse and keyboard, plus a plethora of ports for connecting Bluetooth headphones, portable hard drives, and even game controllers and electric Fiji cups.

In short, despite having owned it for several years, Lin Zhenxi could only be considered a user of the Witch Book, and was far from proficient in it. She couldn't really explain what the Witch Book actually did.

And now, Lin Zhenxi is about to activate a function of the Witch Book that has never been used before, "Object Containment".

Imagine that you are given a computer without an internet connection, and you are not allowed to check your phone. However, you are required to master all the functions of the computer and rely solely on the fool-proof user manual that comes with the computer. How difficult would that be?

Anyway, let's take a look at the instruction manual for the Witch's Book.

Fortunately, the instruction manual has a search function, so Lin Zhenxi doesn't have to search for a needle in a haystack among tens of thousands of pages of detailed function descriptions.

So, keyword search, "object containment."

More than a hundred messages came out...

No choice, just read them one by one. Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi's mental strength is high enough now, and his comprehension and memory abilities have also been improved. He can understand the information at a glance, so the speed of reading these materials is not slow.

But she seemed to have searched the wrong keywords. After reading all the information, she still couldn't find a way to stuff objects into the Witch's Book and turn them into pages.

Then change a keyword to search.

"Shelter".

Wow, this time there were over 3,000 results. She had to flip through the pages over 300 times. Lin Zhenxi immediately lost interest in reading them all. She needed a more precise keyword. What should it be?

Lin Zhenxi changed several words again, but none of them seemed right, and her train of thought was suddenly interrupted.

What should she do next? Should she ask Yanyan for help? But she couldn't bring herself to do that. Think about it again, think about it again...

Lin Zhenxi tried hard to recall, trying to find the key information from her past memories that could help her break the deadlock. Suddenly, she thought of something.

User usage logs.

When Patchouli possessed her, she had sealed the entire city of Haimen with the Witch's Book, separating the Stage 4 Paradox Entity from the seal and sealing it separately, before returning Haimen City to its original location. During this process, the Witch's Book must have recorded a wealth of information, and that was what Lin Zhenxi was searching for.

The Witch Book generates a large amount of usage records every day, mainly from Black Cat's daily activities. What she eats, says, and even thinks is recorded in the Witch Book. It is through these logs that Lin Zhenxi can feel that Black Cat is indeed the spirit of the Witch Book, rather than a purely independent intelligent creature.

After all, Black Cat's intelligence is so high that it is hard to imagine that the core of her thinking is actually a systematic program logic rather than an independent soul.

The Witch Book's usage logs were incredibly complex, with the number of files numbering in the billions. Flipping through them one by one was unrealistic. This interface also offered search and sorting capabilities. Lin Zhenxi first locked onto the date they'd gone to rescue Haimen City, then removed the Black Cat's activity records. Fewer than a hundred files remained.

After all, Teacher Patchouli didn't spend much time with Lin Zhenxi that day.

After sorting the files by size, the detailed record for "Using the Witch's Book to Seal Haimen City" that Lin Zhenxi needed appeared at the top. Following this record was the record for "Using the Witch's Book to Seal the Stage Four Paradox Individuals," which were stored separately.

Is it because it was a double sealing act?

Lin Zhenxi clicked on the record of "Sealing Haimen City" and read it carefully.

This file is very large. If the information in it is converted into program code, it would be at least 5,000 lines. Lin Zhenxi felt dizzy and dizzy after reading it, but in order to get the key information, he had to force himself to read on.

The level of secrecy surrounding this information was completely on the edge of what Lin Zhenxi could handle, right on the edge of what she found difficult but still manageable. Of course, this was clearly a deliberate effort by the company to protect its own special correspondents; otherwise, how could such a fluctuating level of secrecy be achieved?

As your ability to absorb information improves, the amount of information you need decreases, and your reading speed increases accordingly. Just like a college student reading an elementary school paper, they can easily grasp the answer after just one glance, whereas an elementary school student would need at least an hour to complete the paper, meticulously reviewing the questions and calculating to ensure accuracy.

Anyway, that's what I mean. The same information may be five thousand lines of code in the eyes of Lin Zhenxi, which requires careful reading for several hours to understand. But if it is asked to be read by Teacher Patchouli, this information may become a chapter of a novel with two or three thousand words, and you don't even need to pay too much attention and can finish it in more than a minute.

Lin Zhenxi spent several hours reading only half of the diary, and she actually made herself hungry. To be more precise, her body was sending her a warning that if she didn't take in more energy, she might have some problems.

Lin Zhenxi quickly turned her consciousness back to her body, and was then attacked by a strong feeling of hunger. Her head was also wet, and her bangs were stuck to her forehead.

Woo, I’m so hungry, I’m about to disappear.

Lin Zhenxi quickly took out two bottles of glucose from the space cube and poured them into his mouth one by one to suppress the stomach acid that was about to rebel. Then he took out a lot of snacks from the space cube and started stuffing them into his mouth.

When the black cat saw Lin Zhenxi starting to eat, he immediately flew over, grabbed a bag of potato chips and opened the package.

But before she could pour the chips from the bag into her mouth, Lin Zhenxi snatched the bag away and poured the chips into her mouth first.

When Lin Zhenxi started to chew the potato chips with some difficulty with a mouth full of potato chips, he found that the black cat was holding up its two front paws in a somewhat strange posture, looking at him in shock.

"Mmm, gah di la?" (What's wrong with you?)

"Maki stole the cat's food!" Black Cat still had a shocked tone as if he couldn't believe that such a thing would happen in real life.

"Mmmm... oh my god, it's so hot." (No way, I'm so hungry.)

Before Lin Zhenxi could finish her words, she felt herself choking on potato chips. She quickly took out another bottle of magic juice and poured it down her throat to get rid of the potato chips blocking her throat.

"Huh, I'm alive." She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When I turned my head again, I found that the black cat was still maintaining the same posture, movement and expression.

"What are you?"

"Maki is stealing the cat's food!" Black Cat repeated again.

"Don't even think about stealing your food. Even when I'm starving, you're my food reserve!" Lin Zhenxi grabbed the black cat, held it in his arms, and bit the piece of scalp between the black cat's two pointed ears.

Of course, she definitely wouldn't bite, otherwise the black cat would have scratched Lin Zhenxi to death. Lin Zhenxi just hugged the black cat tightly and started to "soul suck" on her head.

After absorbing enough of the black cat's energy, Lin Zhenxi finally let go of the black cat, who had been strangled to the point of rolling his eyes, from his arms.

With food in her stomach, her IQ was back online. Lin Zhenxi pondered why she was suddenly so hungry and concluded that she had consumed a lot of energy from overusing her brain. Just like Child Emperor's head would get hot and smokey when he was thinking hard, and he had to keep eating candy to replenish his energy, Lin Zhenxi's head would also get hot when she racked her brains and thought hard.

She was literally hot, and the sweat-soaked bangs on her forehead were proof that she had been sweating profusely.

Watching the internal log of the Witch Book was also quite stressful for Lin Zhenxi.

But Lin Zhenxi had already won half the victory. After replenishing the energy needed for his body and the (black cat) energy needed for his mind, Lin Zhenxi once again plunged into the waterfall composed entirely of data and symbols.

This time, she wanted to finish the diary in one go.

When Lin Zhenxi was concentrating on reading the diary, white smoke began to come out from above her head again. It looked like a small chimney, which was quite funny.

Black Cat was guarding Lin Zhenxi's side. Seeing that smoke started to come out of Lin Zhenxi's head again, he sighed, picked up a piece of cardboard that was just the right size, and fanned Lin Zhenxi's head with it to cool it down.

The cat is really worried about this owner. Life is not easy, the cat sighs.
