Chapter 342

"You can call me Tom."

"Okay, Tom."

This awkward conversation continued for a long time. Tom felt as if he was living in a dream, unable to believe that he actually had such a magical thing. He was afraid that if the conversation stopped, 'Hope' would disappear.

After receiving the A.I. Chip's feedback again and again, he finally relaxed and began to ask about the most important thing. "Hope, what functions do you have?"

The A.I. Chip transmitted the information directly into Tom's mind in the form of data. Tom looked at the functions that he did not understand and trembled with excitement. He said tentatively, "Activate auxiliary calculation function."

[Activation successful. Please confirm the calculation target and calculation objective.]

Tom hurriedly tried to recall the Psychokinetic Meditation and the contents that he was stuck with. "Psychokinetic Meditation Runes 2, 3, 4 and the final model. Objective … Objective is to teach me how to construct it."

After receiving the command, the A.I. Chip immediately started working. It connected to the A.I. Chip's network database and retrieved the contents of Psychokinetic Meditation. It replayed the process in Tom's mind stroke by stroke and explained in detail the parts that Tom did not understand.

Tom felt that the A.I. Chip's analysis was much clearer than the academy's teachers and self-training. A few of the problems that had troubled him previously were easily solved. However, his aptitude was not very good, and he often needed to watch it many times before he could find the answer.

"Repeat here!"

"So that's how it is!"

Tom had never thought that learning was such an interesting thing. He lost track of time and was immersed in the sea of runes until the A.I. Chip's notification came. [Tom, your soul has entered a state of exhaustion. Auxiliary calculation function has been shut down. You need to rest.]

Tom reluctantly exited the program. A deep sense of exhaustion overwhelmed him. He found that he could barely keep his eyes open. Unknowingly, nearly ten hours had passed. "Hope, how long do I need to rest?"

[Your current status is as follows: Physical Strength 9, Spiritual Strength 2, Magic Power 5.0, Soul Strength moderately exhausted. Estimated time to rest is 2 hours.]

"2 hours, huh? Alright, remember to wake me up. I still have to work … work …"

Tom's situation was happening all over the Mage World. After the acolytes received the personal A.I. Chip, none of them could stop themselves from playing with it. The result of playing with it was that they were unable to extricate themselves from the various functions until they collapsed.

Adam and all the main creative staff gathered next to the universal origin server, waiting for the data collected in the first twenty-four hours.

There was a display screen on each of the seven huge origin servers. All kinds of data were being uploaded and downloaded all the time. It was like a dazzling waterfall.

The advanced mages of the Holy Tower stared intently at the screen under their respective servers. They used their vision magic to control hundreds of brushes to write and draw on the paper. They were prepared to record and summarize the data on the first day and compare it with the server's algorithm.

Adam felt that there was no need to do that. The models that he had inputted were all very mature and would not be wrong. However, he could not stop this group of 'scientists' who had gotten a new toy.

Time ticked by, and when the hands of the magic clock jumped to the second day, the data of the seven servers on the first day was successfully classified without any delay and was collected into the core server.

Everyone immediately teleported to the core server and used their temporary authority to bring up the detailed information and compare it with the manual records in their hands.

"The data of the First Holy Tower is unchanged!"

"… The data of the Seventh Holy Tower is unchanged!"

There were no discrepancies in the data. The results of the server's automatic classification were even more detailed than the manual sorting by the mages.

Other than the physical data and mental state of all contracted apprentices, the most important content was the problems that they encountered during their studies. The Mage's Parliament would set up a special department to answer the questions reflected in the data. These questions and answers would be collected again and used as the basis for the compilation of the unified teaching materials of all schools in the future.

Of course, this part had nothing to do with Adam. After the verification work, he returned to the lab. The research of the universal chip had come to an end. The current functions were enough to meet the needs of the apprentices. Even if there was a need to upgrade it, the other mages could do it independently. This project did not need Adam to worry about it anymore.

Adam returned to the research lab. The success of the universal microchip was within his expectations. For acolytes who lacked resources and had difficulties acquiring knowledge, the personal microchip would become their most valuable asset and tool. As time passed, they would become more and more inseparable from the assistance of the microchip.

Now, there were only three months left to the one-year period that Adam had set. The research of the personal chip for official mages was also nearing completion. All kinds of data were continuously entering the joint database, and under the supervision of the authority system, they were performing according to the rules.

The wisdom of mages was not to be underestimated. Although Adam was the initiator, he could only determine the general direction now. The rest of the work could be carried out perfectly as long as the tasks were assigned.

The most troublesome part was the authorization of the patent. With the guarantee and help of the Holy Tower, the mages who owned the patent happily entered their knowledge into the chip. After understanding it, they all knew that the chip would bring them more benefits. In essence, it was not as advanced as the Magic Net, but in terms of practicality, it far surpassed the Magic Net.

In the last month, the mages who stayed in the World of Mages suddenly discovered that it seemed that in one night, the trading halls of the Holy Tower and the core areas of the major cities had appeared in the trading halls of the various Holy Tower. There was a huge eye-catching screen in front of the door with a countdown timer.

The apprentice-level chips were very popular recently. They all knew about it, and the chips sold here were obviously suitable for them. But when the mages wanted to investigate, they found that there were only a few alchemy puppets inside the shop. They could not answer any of their questions.

The curiosity of the Magicians was piqued. When the countdown reached the last day, a long line was formed outside all the shops. Some were Magicians themselves, some were clones, and even slaves of various races. Everyone was looking forward to the day.

When the countdown reached zero, the door of the shop opened. The preset magic circle outside the door bloomed with beautiful sound and light effects. The mages rushed in and asked all kinds of questions to the alchemy robots working inside.

"What?! Three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine complete Ether crystals? And that doesn't include the cost of the subsequent upgrades and database updates?! "
