Chapter 4

Shu Xiaobai recorded his experimental process in a notebook.

The development of magic mainly involves using mental power to guide the elements in the air.

Calm the agitated elements, convert them into magic, and store them in the body.

This process is called meditation.

The theory has been perfected by Shu Xiaobai.

The current challenge lies in storage.

Where in the body should it be stored?

Shu Xiaobai experimented with live animals.

He confirmed that magic can be stored in the blood.

However, animals do not know how to control the meditation process.

Each time, there is a risk of excessive magic storage, leading to the body bursting.

Additionally, mental power output is not stable enough.

This results in fluctuations in emotions, which in turn cause instability in magic.

If the meditation process can be perfected, turning meditation from a skill into an instinct,

And optimizing the conversion process of magic, the experiment might succeed.

Shu Xiaobai felt that storing magic in the blood was not ideal.

It would be best to have a dedicated organ for storing magic, which would be more stable compared to blood.

In short, each step has its problems.

The heart is not suitable, as it is too dangerous and similar to blood.

Emotional fluctuations can affect heart rate.

The lungs, stomach, and kidneys are also not suitable...

Suddenly, Shu Xiaobai thought that perhaps bones could work.

If bones can accommodate magic, they would be a very stable storage device.

...

"Brother Tai, this experiment has some risks. If you want to back out now, I won't blame you."

Shu Xiaobai looked at Lin Tai seriously.

"It's fine, let's go."

Shu Xiaobai nodded and began administering anesthesia to Lin Tai, then cut open the muscles in Lin Tai's arm to expose the bone.

The equipment was rudimentary, so many protective measures were lacking.

For example, his laboratory could not achieve a sterile environment.

"Brother Tai, can you hear me?"

Lin Tai closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Shu Xiaobai began modifying Lin Tai's body according to his ideas.

Of course, this was purely physical modification, not genetic alteration.

"Brother Tai, can you feel what I'm installing in your body?"

Lin Tai nodded again, and Shu Xiaobai continued.

After two hours,

Shu Xiaobai took a deep breath and began stitching the wound.

Lin Tai lay for another half hour before the anesthesia wore off.

Lin Tai noticed a raised lump at the suture site on his right arm.

"What is this?"

"Try to close your eyes and feel the air, as I told you."

Lin Tai closed his eyes as Shu Xiaobai instructed.

Shu Xiaobai glanced at the brainwave monitoring device.

"The next steps are more complex, and each step must be done correctly."

"Understood."

Shu Xiaobai began explaining the steps of meditation.

After these days of research and refinement, the meditation process was basically complete.

Shu Xiaobai spoke very slowly, needing Lin Tai to follow each step of the meditation process without error.

"How do you feel now?"

"Something in the air seems to be being absorbed into my body."

"Very good, continue... guide that thing to merge with the bones in your right arm."

This was the first human experiment, and Shu Xiaobai needed to proceed cautiously.

He had no room for any aggressive approach.

Regardless of emotions, if anything happened to Lin Tai,

Shu Xiaobai would have to pay a large sum of money.

And Shu Xiaobai had no money to pay.

So there must be no accidents.

"How do you feel now?"

"My right arm feels very comfortable, it feels... very good."

Click—

Suddenly, Lin Tai's right arm trembled slightly.

"Hmm?" Lin Tai was unsure what had happened.

He was also very nervous, not knowing what to do next.

"That's the thing I installed in your body, it's a safety valve," Shu Xiaobai explained. "This thing is grown from your cells, so there won't be any rejection reaction."

"Okay."

"The energy you absorbed is called magic, and the process of absorption is called meditation. This magic is stored in your bones, and the safety valve is connected to your bones. Once the magic level reaches a threshold, the safety valve will trigger, and you need to stop meditating."

"I understand."

"Since I haven't yet estimated the overall magic level, we need to conduct multiple tests over the next period. You need to be mentally prepared, and if your body has any reactions, you must inform me immediately."

Did it succeed?

Shu Xiaobai was secretly delighted.

He also took a deep breath.

Shu Xiaobai immediately opened his attribute panel.

After Lin Tai left, Shu Xiaobai began meditating himself.

After three hours, his magic reached the 100 limit.

...

Ding—

Main Task: Inheritance.

Find at least 6 live test subjects, covering six magic attributes, and teach them the secrets of magic.

Task Progress: 1/6

Time Limit: Six months.

...

Shu Xiaobai considered that the first step now was to develop a relatively complete magic system.

It should be practical, and ideally, have some combat capability.

This is the easiest way to spread it.

If it were only meditation without practical use, it would be impossible to spread.

He couldn't afford to find more people for live experiments.

One Lin Tai as a live test subject was already a heavy burden for Shu Xiaobai.

Of course, without Lin Tai, Shu Xiaobai's task wouldn't have been completed so quickly.

However, Shu Xiaobai soon encountered a new problem: insufficient magic.

To develop new spells, a large number of experiments were needed.

Even a simple attempt required the consumption of dozens of magic points.

Each attempt required Shu Xiaobai to meditate to recover his magic.

This led Shu Xiaobai to use Imagination Power to increase his magic limit.

1 point of Imagination Power increased the magic limit by 1 point.

Shu Xiaobai used all his Imagination Power to increase his magic limit.

This raised his magic limit from 100 to 600.

It also depleted his Imagination Power.

Shu Xiaobai was heartbroken, thinking about how much endurance could improve his post-marriage life quality.
