Chapter 290: Chapter 30: Good Spoils, a Chance to Create a Mo Ning Formula

That’s right.

’Could Mind Mapping be used to control the Magic Pattern Drones?’

Once this thought appeared, it was like a seed that rapidly sprouted, took root in his mind, and could no longer be suppressed.

’The mainstream method of puppet control in the Wizard World is the so-called "Puppet Objectification."’

’It involves projecting the Magic Energy Network, constructed from a Magic Pattern Group, onto a Puppet Manipulator, forming what is commonly known as a "Puppet Magic Key."’

’A Wizard or Apprentice who obtains the Magic Key simply needs to immerse their consciousness in it to control the puppet.’

’Strictly speaking, this is a typical two-tiered control system: the Wizard controls the Magic Key, and the Magic Key controls the puppet.’

’The more layers of control, the lower the efficiency, the greater the Magic Power loss, and the slower the reaction speed.’

’Besides this, while a few other control methods have fewer layers, their costs are far too high.’

’But the Mind Mapping control method is equivalent to projecting a sliver of consciousness into the Magic Pattern Drone, achieving the goal of "a Wizard directly controlling the drone" at a relatively low cost.’

’No, to be more precise, it should be—the Wizard directly "piloting" the drone with their consciousness.’

’These are two almost completely opposite approaches.’

To be honest, this highly innovative new concept made Mo Ning a little excited.

And his profound Knowledge of Divination instantly gave him an extremely strong intuitive sense: from the perspective of Secret Divination and Divination, this method was completely feasible!

More thoughts fluttered through his mind like falling leaves in an autumn wind:

’From the few Puppetry texts I’ve hastily flipped through, it seems no Wizard has turned this concept into reality yet.’

’But the Wizard World is vast, and Wizard Academies are as numerous as the stars. Just because it’s not recorded in these few books doesn’t mean no one else has thought of this idea.’

’If no one has truly ventured down this path, then this will be another concept of disruptive significance.’

’And that possibility isn’t low.’

’Many Spiritual Magic Spells already rely on Mind Mapping for Casting, so much so that Wizards have formed an unbreakable "mental block" regarding the Mind Crystal.’

’In all these years, it’s unlikely any Wizard has broken free from this inertia and thought of this unprecedented new path.’

’Therefore, I have a real opportunity to use Mind Mapping as a fulcrum to create a whole new school of control within Magic Pattern Study.’

At this thought, Mo Ning’s heart began to beat a little faster.

In the Wizards’ evaluation system, "disruptive" is considered a revolutionary innovation to the existing system.

For example, previous Breathing Techniques were just respiratory-type Secret Techniques. Adding a Secondary Magic Pool to one was a revolutionary innovation.

But "groundbreaking" holds even greater significance: not only is it disruptive, but it goes a step further by creating an entirely new field.

The key point: a *field*.

This was because the potential of a Mind Mapping control method was enormous, enough to spawn various other puppet control methods.

Mo Ning made his decision without hesitation. ’I’m doing it.’

He had already established a simple theoretical framework for the Magic Pattern Drone, but now he decided to scrap it and start over, building a whole new Witchcraft architecture.

If he completed this project, he felt he might even have the chance to create a formula named after himself.

My God!

The Mo Ning Formula!

At this moment, Mo Ning wasn’t just excited; his blood was practically boiling.

As a member of the academy, who wouldn’t want to create a formula prefixed with their own name, to be remembered by countless Wizards and Apprentices?

This wasn’t just about making a name for himself in the annals of history.

This was about achieving eternal fame!

Flower, piloting the metal dragonfly, keenly sensed a change in its master’s expression.

His Spiritual Strength seemed to have received a powerful stimulus, instantly jumping by 0.01 points to a height of 2.92.

The Artificial Soul sighed inwardly, ’The incredible Mr. Mo Ning!’

A couple of seconds passed. Seeing its master seemed to have emerged from his thoughts, Flower quickly seized the opportunity to suggest:

"There are still some valuable spoils of war in this lair. Would you like me to collect and organize them for you now?"

Mo Ning certainly wasn’t going to refuse. "Of course!"

From his perspective, the spoils were a fixed reward for the mission to destroy the Screaming Goblin Tribe.

The tribe had been entrenched in the Birch Forest for so many years, and its Priests had even managed to collude with an Evil God. They must have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth; that Crystal was proof enough.

As for the Evil God Altar, the things used to build it were all decent Spiritual Materials. Dismantling it would yield another handsome profit.

"Why don’t you head back and rest first? It will take some time to pack everything up. You can leave this to me," the Artificial Soul suggested thoughtfully.

Mo Ning tucked the Crystal into an inner pocket of his gray robe and, readily accepting the offer, nodded. "I’ll leave it to you, then."

For him, the gains from this battle—the destruction of the Goblin Tribe—were simply immense.

「Ten minutes later.」

Mo Ning, leading two young kitchen maids with looks of utter shock, instantly crossed a vast distance of several thousand kilometers, appearing at the door of the Cabin in the Woods.

The two of them looked at Mo Ning’s smiling face, then at the simple yet cozy cabin, and then at the tall birch trees. A dazed expression was written all over their pretty faces.

Just before they left, Mo Ning had said to them with a grin:

"You can see that Birch Forest from your apartment’s floor-to-ceiling window every few days. Today, I’ll take you over there for a look, and you can help me with a little work to earn some Black Tower Points."

Reina, her face full of astonishment, had asked, "We can go into the Birch Forest?"
