Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3237: Chapter 3238: Inspiration Assistant

According to the solution provided by Bimon, it ultimately can indeed resolve the transfer of the opening of the Golden Silk Stomach Bag. It won’t result in any visibly negative situations either, and overall, it can be considered a relatively successful solution.

The only flaw is... expensive.

The consumables required for creating a biological pipeline need the tentacles of an Abyss Sting Jellyfish as the main material.

The Abyss Sting Jellyfish itself is nearly extinct, and any material from its body is extremely costly, with none being less than six figures when calculated in Magic Crystals.

In other words, just the main material consumed is more expensive than the Golden Silk Stomach Bag itself.

The solution is successful, but for someone who can afford the main material, why would they even use the Golden Silk Stomach Bag?

Angel himself involves in refining spatial artifacts, and the consumables may not even be more expensive than the tentacles of an Abyss Sting Jellyfish. If he has the spare money, why not just buy better spatial artifacts?

Although this flaw is significant, Angel didn’t restrict the "price" factor when posing Bimon’s topic, so Bimon’s solution passes as well.

Moreover, Bimon has exhibited quite profound knowledge skills in this solution: biological modifications, material refinement, rejection formula, spatial structures...

These alone show that Bimon has put great effort into invention research.

Although it’s uncertain whether Bimon is stronger than that Filfel, Angel believes that its breadth of knowledge surpasses the majority of Wizard Apprentices.

After Angel saw the second solution provided by Bimon, his opinion changed again.

In terms of research ability and invention inspiration, Bimon not only surpasses Wizard Apprentices but can even keep pace with many Official Wizards.

Because its second solution is nearly perfect.

Even better than the concept of Golden Silk Gloves proposed by the Scholar Pirush on the previous display.

— Enhanced Gold Silk Gloves.

This is what Bimon has named its second solution.

As everyone knows, retrieving items from the Golden Silk Gloves is a process of spatial retrieval itself.

Spatial retrieval inevitably involves three elements: Spatial Targeting, Spatial Beacon, Spatial Passage.

Spatial Targeting and Spatial Beacon are similar to the starting point and end point of the coordinates. The Spatial Passage connects these two coordinates, allowing the items in the Golden Silk Stomach Bag to be retrieved.

Generally, the key to the Spatial Passage lies in the exit position of the Golden Silk Stomach Bag.

But, if we extend the Spatial Passage, extending it outside the body... then when retrieving items, wouldn’t it be possible to retrieve them directly from outside the body?

Simply put, it expands the spatial range when retrieving items.

Proposing the concept is already not easy, and Bimon, after proposing the concept, even listed the solution.

How to expand the retrieval range? Bimon used two methods: the first is to change the position of the beacon, stretching the length of the spatial passage; this method is the most cost-effective, just a slight modification to the parameters of the Golden Silk Stomach Bag can solve the retrieval difficulty once and for all. The only thing to note is that the spatial fluctuation generated with each retrieval may damage your organs, so you must preemptively set up protection during retrieval.

For Extraordinary Lives, setting up protection is not inherently difficult, this apart from being a bit troublesome, the other difficulties can be overcome.

But if in combat, it becomes very difficult to spare attention for protection.

In other words, when using this method, you can only use the Golden Silk Stomach Bag normally, but once you encounter sudden situations, such as skirmishes, the Golden Silk Stomach Bag is almost half ruined.

This is considered a quite significant flaw.

And Bimon’s other method solves this flaw, which is: setting up a spatial resonance point externally.

It can be understood as having a resonance point A at the opening of the Golden Silk Stomach Bag, and a resonance point B outside the body, during retrieval, directly resonating spatially through points A and B, could allow items to be transferred from A to B.

Similar to a Teleportation Array, but much simpler than that.

Just using a kind of "Resonance Flower" as the main material can realize this solution.

And the price of Resonance Flower is much cheaper than the tentacles of an Abyss Sting Jellyfish, but as a spatial series material, it requires a master of spatial abilities among Extraordinary Lives to prepare it.

And the cost of inviting a spatial series Extraordinary Life, combined with the price of the Resonance Flower itself, then becomes more expensive than the tentacles of an Abyss Sting Jellyfish.

The above is Bimon’s method for resolving spatial resonance.

But as per Angel’s knowledge, apart from Resonance Flower, there is actually another method to resolve spatial resonance.

That is... the Magical Energy Array for spatial resonance.

Just engraving two resonance magical energy arrays at points A and B can perfectly solve the problem of spatial resonance. It doesn’t need Resonance Flower, the only consumable required is a bit of blood ink.

Of course, the engraving of the magical energy array requires the assistance of a Magic Rune Mage, whose cost is very expensive.

But Angel himself also serves as a Magic Rune Mage.

Moreover, he happens to know this resonance magical energy array!

In other words, Bimon provides the inspiration, while he can provide the technology, without consuming any expensive demonic materials in between, at most just expending some stamina, thus perfectly solving the problem of opening the transfer of the Golden Silk Stomach Bag.

Isn’t this stronger than biological modification? Is not this stronger than the Golden Silk Gloves?

Of course, Bimon doesn’t know about the resonance magical energy array, but the inspiration it provided makes Angel very appreciative.

Now, Angel can be very certain, Bimon’s invention inspiration and research ability absolutely match or even surpass some Official Wizards!

At the very least, it’s much stronger than Red Sword Docks.

Previously, Angel wasn’t very interested in Invention Mice, but after Bimon’s challenge, Angel’s interest in Invention Mice has greatly increased... specifically, his interest in Bimon has greatly increased.

This is entirely an "inspiration" assistant!

For Angel, "research" itself is not difficult, the hard part is the elusive and evanescent inspiration. If Bimon can provide inspiration during research, wouldn’t this be an "inspiration" assistant?

Good inspiration is priceless, and Bimon only spent five hundred Crystalline.

This is simply profiting greatly.

After listening to Bimon’s elaboration, Angel investigated its background... deeper than Angel imagined.

According to Bimon’s own statement, after its birth, its master bought access to the academic library for it, and its background is entirely derived from Pirush’s academic library.

Upon hearing this, Angel’s inward evaluation of Bimon is raised to a higher level.

To reach such a degree by reading and self-learning Pirush’s academic library; if it’s given access to the Cloudtop Library of the Barbarian Cave, and furthered at White Gull Academy, wouldn’t it directly become a pillar of the Academy Faction?

While Angel was contemplating, Bimon softly asked, "Does this mean I passed the test?"

Angel snapped back to the present, coughed once: "Although both methods have flaws, it’s not your fault; your perspective is limited to Pirush’s academics, if you open your view to broader horizons and learn more knowledge, those flaws can be resolved."

"However, these are future discussions. In summary, your ideas are quite good."

"You’ve passed."

With Angel providing the verdict of "passed," Bimon eagerly climbed onto the bars of the mouse cage, looking expectantly at Angel: "What about my Knockby..."

Angel: "Knockby... While you were solving the problem, we had already found it ahead of time."

As Angel spoke, he turned to Luigi, signaling him to quickly bring out Knockby.

On the other side, Bimon’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked eagerly at Luigi. Bimon wasn’t foolish; it could tell from Angel’s expression that Knockby should be in Luigi’s hands at this moment.

Luigi didn’t hesitate and directly took out the mouse cage from the space.

Although it was covered with cloth, Bimon could still see the familiar figure inside the cage through the translucent fabric.

The pure white and soft fur, the golden whiskers, and the round body, there was no doubt that it was Knockby, the one Bimon constantly thought about!

But...

Bimon: "What happened to Knockby? Why is it closing its eyes and not waking up?"

Bimon’s expression was slightly anxious, seemingly wanting to break through the cage to check Knockby’s condition.

Luigi: "It’s fine; it was just running on the wheel nonstop earlier, so its physical strength was exhausted. Now it’s resting..."

Although Bimon didn’t understand why Knockby was running on the wheel, knowing that it was currently fine, he was relieved.

"Can I go over and take a look at it?" Bimon cautiously made the request.

Angel naturally had no objections to this. He was about to agree when Luigi interrupted.

"Knockby was bought by me. If you want to see him, you’ll have to pass my test first." Luigi coughed and spoke solemnly.

Angel silently looked at Luigi: "..." What are you up to?

Luigi gave him a look and said through the Mind Ribbon: "...Any precious reunion must go through trials."

Angel paused: "Speak plainly."

Luigi: "You’ve set a test; I want to set a test too."

Angel heaved a deep sigh, speechless... Is this the game challenge of "Bimon’s Big Challenge"?

Although he found Luigi somewhat cruel, both Knockby and Bimon were bought by Luigi. Moreover, if Luigi hadn’t insisted on buying them, they might have missed out on such an interesting Invention Mouse.

Angel thought for a moment and didn’t stop Luigi, simply giving Bimon a "take care" look and quietly stepping aside.

Luigi immediately took charge.

Angel highly valued Bimon’s inventive inspiration, and Luigi also valued its inspiration, but he valued it for writing poetry.

Therefore, the test Luigi set was naturally related to writing poetry.

"Since you so wish to reunite with Knockby, then write a poem with the theme of ’love.’" Luigi provided the topic.

Bimon was somewhat puzzled: "Love? No... Knockby and I are siblings born from the same mother."

This statement highlighted Bimon’s relationship with Knockby.

They are blood brothers born from the same mother.

This might be one of the reasons why Bimon cares so much about Knockby.

However, as far as Angel knows, rodents have quite a few siblings when they are born. Bimon probably has more than one sibling; why does he only care about Knockby?

Perhaps there’s another reason behind this.

While Angel was pondering, Luigi spoke: "I don’t care if you’re brothers or whatever; the topic I set for you is ’love.’ Use love as the theme and write a love poem. Once you pass my test, I’ll let you reunite with Knockby."

When Angel set the test earlier, Bimon felt no pressure at all, but Luigi’s test made Bimon a little anxious and uneasy.

Bimon: "But... I’ve never written a poem."

Luigi: "That’s why I set the topic of ’love’ for you because love poems evoke the most direct and intense emotions. Even if you’re not a poet, as long as you’ve had thoughts of love, whether it’s a crush, a passionate love, or the bitterness of separation, pick up an occasional phrase from life, and it will mesmerize people."

Listening to Luigi’s self-indulgent immersion, Bimon felt that it was too much for a small mouse to bear...

Bimon really didn’t want to write a poem, but since Luigi made it clear that without writing one, he wouldn’t be able to reunite with Knockby, Bimon reluctantly accepted the challenge—there was no choice.

Under Angel’s sympathetic gaze, Bimon re-entered the soundproof illusionary realm and began his creation.

...

Ten minutes later, urged by Luigi, Angel sensed the situation inside the cage.

Bimon was still holding a pen, sitting dazedly in front of the small table formed by the Nightmare Illusion, not knowing what to do.

On the paper on the table, a few crooked lines were written:

"Love is... the red words on the edge in the academic library, the brilliant colors after the teeth-dyeing paint is diluted, the unreachable sky outside the cage..."

"Love is... the colorful patches sewn onto ragged clothes, the remainder of the Pitram Number that’s never solved, the endless long road of having you without me..."

"Love is..."

Bimon hadn’t finished writing, but judging by the meaninglessness of these piled-up words, it was completely contrary to its dedication to academic research.

Angel reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Looking up, he saw Luigi’s questioning eyes: "How is it writing?"

Angel was silent for a moment and said: "It hasn’t finished writing."

"It doesn’t matter if it’s unfinished; in writing poetry, inspiration can lead to instant success, and without inspiration, you might struggle for days and not produce a single line. How much has it written?"

Angel: "Two lines."

Luigi’s eyes lit up: "That’s not bad; it shows there’s inspiration... And the quality?"

Angel recalled the choice of words, deliberated, and said: "In terms of quality, it’s about the same as yours."

Luigi slapped his hands: "Then it’s a rare talent?!"

Luigi was already starting to rejoice.

On the other side, Angel and Laplace exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.
