Chapter 420 - 218: Don’t Ask, It’s Just Inspiration (4)
...
March 11th—11:55 PM
Lu Cang opened his eyes again, pressing his temples.
A vast amount of memories remained in his mind, and Lu Cang’s head throbbed with pain.
It seemed he had to be careful of cognitive and memory-based attacks even during a Future Preview, as the preview ultimately brought the memories back with him.
If an enemy had such offensive methods, he would fall prey to them even after returning.
The thought was a fleeting one.
There was no time to think any further.
Instantly, sheets of "Magic-Written Paper" materialized out of thin air in the room. This paper could be written on directly with Magic Power and supported multiple revisions.
SWISH!
The sheets were instantly covered in patterns, forming one intricate Magic Array Map after another.
Each Array Map looked like a detailed scroll that had taken months of painstaking work to create.
It was truly, unbelievably difficult.
If his Profession as a Decryption Scholar hadn’t granted him a powerful memory, it would have been impossible to remember everything completely with the boost from his Spirituality alone.
SWOOSH—
Finally, after half an hour, all the sheets of paper landed, piling up in the room like a small mountain.
Just remembering these diagrams had taken Lu Cang eighteen hours.
He hadn’t dared to randomly explore during the remaining six hours.
Instead, he had repeatedly consolidated his memory.
To prevent any omissions.
As for when Iz came to find him, Lu Cang had told Iz the truth about his "Future Preview" Talent.
’I wonder how the Iz in the preview felt when he heard my confession?’
’Sad to discover he was just a character in a preview?’
’No... probably not that dramatic.’
Lu Cang imagined it for a moment. What if one day Pari suddenly told him that everything he was experiencing was just some future she was previewing?
’Eh, I guess I wouldn’t really feel anything.’
’Life would go on as usual.’
...
Lu Cang organized the drafts.
SWOOSH—
The next moment, he teleported directly to the research lab at Lorentz Magic Academy.
Iz was sitting cross-legged on the floor, staring at the Magic Array Maps around him.
Iz had also filled the entire vast, empty space with countless Magic Arrays, still trying to evolve the Teleportation Magic.
Meanwhile, Dusk, who had already become a Level 5 Mage, was studying one of the fifteen thousand diagrams with Jie Zhu.
"Lu Cang?"
"Hahaha! Perfect timing! Come take a look at my thought process."
"While you were gone, I had a burst of inspiration! I’ve already deduced an even more spectacular variation of this Random Teleportation Magic!"
"It really is right to feel it with your heart! To perceive the changes in the Magic with Intuition and comprehend why it behaves the way it does!"
’Iz, that stuff about inspiration... I just made it all up...’
’You were actually inspired by that?’
’Don’t take the nonsense I spouted seriously, and definitely don’t turn my made-up stuff into reality!’
’This is getting weird. Are you a Mind-Essence or something?’
Iz’s tone was full of confidence and pride, showing no signs of being discouraged by him at all.
"Oh~"
"Iz, actually, during the evening, I also had some insights. Want to take a look?"
Lu Cang raised his hand, and instantly, twenty-five thousand draft sheets appeared in the center of the room.
BOOM—
The thick stack of drafts slammed onto the floor, making a dull thud of paper hitting the ground.
"This is my thought process."
Dusk and Jie Zhu looked back, their eyes filled with astonishment and shock.
’Are you telling me you went out this afternoon and came back tonight with twenty-five thousand diagrams?’
’What the hell kind of "thought process" is that?’
’Are you sure we’re even working on the same thing?’
