Free Web NovelChapter 820: A Brand New Technique — Association Method
With the help of several seniors, Hong Chenyi began the method she had scouted out under the curious gazes of many people.
Meanwhile, I was observing the method Hong Chenyi used in my own way.
Actually, after undergoing the Witch-transformation Reconstruction Metamorphic Spell, a connection is created between the body and the Magic Power Sources.
Whether it was my initial Interference Method or Yi Rui and the others' Resonance Method, they were both ways of utilizing this connection through certain characteristics to achieve one's own goals.
So… theoretically, anyone could attempt a method that suits them best.
It’s just that some methods are thankless.
My initial Interference Method was a typical thankless one, but it was also the most basic type.
However, compared to the Resonance Method, the Interference Method did not require learning the advanced technique of the Micro-control Resonance Method.
As for Hong Chenyi's method… after she tried it for a bit, I had a general idea of what she meant.
But clearly, she was unfamiliar with this method.
Furthermore, this method conflicted with the Ten-fold Base Resonance Method.
When she attempted it, the connection established from the Resonance Method began to collapse.
However, I stabilized the foundation for her, so it could be considered a close call.
To use a metaphor, my Interference Method was like “1+1+1+……” constantly accumulating.
The Resonance Method was an amplification overlap of ten-fold bases from another dimension, increasing in a pattern like “10, 20, 30… 100, 200……”.
This method was primarily about speed, getting faster and faster the further it went.
This resulted in the resonance connection appearing stretched thin when focusing on a single Magic Power Source at the end, necessitating the Micro-control Resonance Method to compensate for this flaw.
Moreover, the further one went, the more the Micro-control Resonance Method needed to be refined.
One was slowly building a foundation, while the other was elevating first and reinforcing later.
It was hard to say which was superior or inferior; after all, in the end, either method became difficult.
The Interference Method was the stacking of orders of magnitude; the difficulty was that the further one went, the more it might make one feel despair and numbness.
The dilemma of the Resonance Method was the refined updating of the Micro-control Resonance Method; if the future applicability of the Micro-control Resonance Method couldn't be ensured, one might get stuck and be unable to progress.
But Hong Chenyi's idea was simple… it was exponential growth.
Using one Magic Power Source as the initial core, then linking another two.
“This seems feasible?”
I looked at several sisters and then at Hong Chenyi.
Because Hong Chenyi currently lacked a professional theoretical foundation and practical experience, added to it being her first attempt, she found it a bit difficult to control after completing the association of only seven Magic Power Sources.
Seven pieces meant a three-level increase, “1+2+4”.
“Theoretically, it does seem feasible, but this exponential explosion level of magnitude is even more excessive than the Ten-fold Base Resonance Method.”
“That’s right, and it might also require a method even more refined than the Micro-control Resonance Method to help her manage the Magic Power Sources associated together afterward.”
“Perhaps you may have missed a factor. Her method is the association between Magic Power Sources, not resonance. Therefore, the controllability is better than resonance, almost approaching the kind of controllability of the Interference Method.”
I spoke to correct them.
“But exponential addition… this number will explode.”
“It’s essentially just the Resonance Method in another form, right?”
I shrugged, not caring much about this.
“It just has a different inclination, but this is indeed a method.”
“Correct… it’s impossible to refute that this is indeed a method, but it is still very immature. Furthermore, it cannot be standardized; it will need to undergo continuous refinement later. Also, the advanced micro-control method cannot be omitted.”
For a while, I and the group of sisters all voiced our opinions.
Although we raised quite a few doubts, none of us denied the feasibility of this method.
In other words, Hong Chenyi had indeed found a feasible method.
Meanwhile, Hong Chenyi, seeing the discussion here getting intense, couldn't get a word in.
She could only stand on the side somewhat awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
“That… Big Sis Xiao… Han?”
Hong Chenyi called out tentatively.
“Hmm? Oh, I almost forgot the protagonist.”
I only reacted after being called, and then I looked at Hong Chenyi.
“Is something wrong here?”
At this moment, Yi Rui also walked over.
They didn't care much when they first noticed people gathering here, but very quickly, intense discussion had begun.
She also brought Tan Han over to join in the fun.
“Oh? Yi Rui has come over too?”
“Yeah, what happened? Is there some sudden situation?”
Yi Rui also walked to the front and inquired.
“It’s like this: this junior discovered a special method, a technique for manipulating Magic Power Sources that is independent of the Interference Method and the Resonance Method, called…… it hasn't been named yet.”
“Let’s call it the Association Method. As for the specific prefix, if Hong Chenyi wants to change it, she can add it herself.”
I spoke.
“Association Method?”
“Aiyaya it’s like this, let me explain.”
At this moment, an impatient sister pulled over a data panel from the side and began explaining to Yi Rui, including the advantages, disadvantages, and application stages of this method.
And Yi Rui understood very quickly; after all, she wasn't stupid.
“Wonderful, should this be considered an unexpected joy?”
“Indeed.”
I nodded and said.
We all tacitly did not deny the value of this method.
This wasn't something where a simple substitute method could settle things once and for all.
Just as Hong Chenyi said, if this method suits her, then this method has its audience.
Furthermore, isn't the reason we are promoting the experiment to collect such variables?
Therefore, after researching for a while, we confirmed another matter.
That was to allow everyone in this experiment the right to try methods that suit them.
Of course, this was only an encouragement, and it had drawbacks.
That was, conflicts between different methods were inevitable.
Therefore, this would consume more time, and in the end, there was a high probability of yielding nothing.
“That… Big Sis Xiao Han, what, what should I do now?”
Hong Chenyi looked at me with an anxious face and inquired.
After listening to my words, she had already cleared her previous progress.
Since her own Association Method had no systematic guidance, her situation was truly awkward.
“Don't be in a hurry first; a watched pot never boils. Your situation is special. When the time comes, we will establish a specialized research group with you as the test subject to guide you through this stage.”
I spoke with a smile, my tone carrying a bit of hot and cold, but overall, I still admired Hong Chenyi somewhat.
I admitted that right now we had only just broken through the ten-thousand-piece mark with the Resonance Method, so researching a brand-new method would definitely require a lot of time.
But regardless of future matters, it was enough for Hong Chenyi to reach the ten-thousand-piece threshold first and arrive at the stage where she could shape Self-generating Magic Power.
After I finished speaking, Yi Rui also made another temporary announcement to the collective.
“Everyone, please pause your current progress for a moment. Something happened here just now, and after much deliberation, our team is prepared to inform everyone of this matter.”
Yi Rui's voice immediately made everyone stop.
Subsequently, all gazes turned toward Yi Rui, while some looked toward that girl, Hong Chenyi.
Because they knew that what this Teaching Assistant Yi Rui was about to say was likely related to that lower-grade student.
“Thank you all for cooperating. In that case, I won't waste more words for now and will get straight to the point. During these days of the experiment, everyone should have come into contact with the special technique of the Resonance Method. Some people who have progressed quickly have already completed the mastery of the Micro-control Resonance Method and even begun attempts at the shaping ritual.”
“But the Resonance Method is not the only technique for you to master Magic Power Sources. Before that, we had an initial version of the technique called the Interference Method, but compared to the 'touching' efficiency of this method, we temporarily abandoned it.”
“And just now, a tester scouted out a third method on her own, which we have temporarily named the Association Method. After our theoretical analysis and preliminary practice, this method has been proven effective.”
“But this is not the key point I want to tell you, nor am I encouraging you to try this Association Method. To be frank, this technique has just been born, and the number of associated Magic Power Sources is currently seven, while the number of Magic Power Sources needed for the shaping ritual is best near ten thousand.”
“What I want to say is that the Resonance Method is not a method that is absolutely suitable for everyone. Perhaps this is something we should have told you at the very beginning. Each of you should have the right to try a method that suits you. However, the reason we didn't think of this earlier…… was because this kind of method is too difficult. You, who have no theoretical foundation and rely only on inspiration, have a very worrying success rate.”
“So at this stage, we only suggest that people with poor progress in the Resonance Method give it a try, and it is merely a suggestion. Another point to explain is that wanting to try a brand-new method, including the brand-new Association Method, will clear the progress of the Resonance Method. So I still hope everyone chooses carefully……”
The content Yi Rui described was very detailed, including the risks that needed to be faced if this was to be done.
Actually, there was no need for Yi Rui to do this.
After all, the rhythm of this experiment was in the hands of our team.
Even if we temporarily changed our minds and reserved a month's time for them to all try brand-new methods, it wasn't impossible.
We indeed could do that; we just wouldn't do it.
Because such behavior was very foolish.
After Yi Rui finished her words, many people fell into contemplation.
However, as the batch of groups with the fastest progress, they didn't have too many concerns.
Since their progress was the fastest, it meant the Resonance Method suited them well; naturally, they had no need to look for trouble.
Consequently, many people soon crowded around and began inquiring about specific details.
“Big Sis Xiao Han! Big Sis Xiao Han! That… you won't ignore me, right!”
Hong Chenyi leaned forward and said pitifully.
“Don't worry. Given your situation, we naturally won't ignore you. By then, you will be the only one so far with a dedicated research group specifically serving you. Are you happy?”
“Ah? I… uh, ah……”
Instantly, a burst of strange, hard-to-describe sounds came from Hong Chenyi's mouth.
“Alright, stop joking. Believe in their abilities. Even if this is a dead end, we won't abandon you. You are still a lower-grade student; you have infinite possibilities.”
I comforted her.
I didn't expect that before I left, there would be such a wonderful harvest.
Although this meant little to me, it was of great significance to the research and promotion of Self-generating Magic Power.
Because… everyone afterward would have a brand-new path to choose from.
And Hong Chenyi's name would become famous along with the Association Method!
“Big Sis Xiao Han, don't speak in that tone of someone who’s been through it all. Aren't you about the same age as me?”
“Just listen carefully. Don't talk back and don't ask too many questions. Just follow the arrangements.”
“I still feel like I’d be more at ease being researched by you, Big Sis Xiao Han…”
“Relying only on that isn't enough. Don't worry, they are all seniors with deep seniority. Spend more time building a good relationship with them, and the path ahead will be much easier to walk.”
After comforting Hong Chenyi and the others, Yi Rui and the others also roughly completed the information collection for these people.
Currently, there are 8 people determined to start over from scratch.
Among them, 3 were not wanting to try a brand-new path themselves.
They stated that they still had self-awareness and, since their own progress in the Resonance Method was slow, they simply wanted to come over and try the Association Method.
Even though Yi Rui stated that the Association Method had only just begun, it didn't matter.
They stated that they could advance along with their progress; at least this way, they wouldn't have too much pressure.
However, these people might be looking down on Yi Rui a bit.
With the Resonance Method acting as a foundation for theory and technique accumulation, the speed at which they updated and iterated the techniques in this area would only be faster for the Association Method.
But since they had their own ideas, then that was fine.
After all, a brand-new method similarly needed many people to constantly try it.
No matter what mindset they held, they were all using themselves to make contributions to us.
“Speaking of which, do you need me to stay and help?”
I looked at Yi Rui, who had finally rested, and inquired.
“No need. Since we could do it with the Resonance Method, we can do the same for this Association Method. So you don't need to worry too much, Little Han.”
“Since you said that, I’m going to leave early to do my own thing.”
“Then hurry up and go. I’ve heard you say that more than once, but you haven't gone yet. I know you’re a bit reluctant to let go of the Self-generating Magic Power experimental project, but we also hope you can trust our abilities. We are no longer the little white mice from before who couldn't help with anything.”
“Fine since you put it so bluntly, I’m really leaving…… if you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to come find me directly.”
I sighed.
Just as Yi Rui said, I was naturally a bit reluctant to let go of the Self-generating Magic Power experiment.
After all, this project had consumed so much of my time and energy, and I indeed placed great importance on it.
But in the end, I still left, because… it was time to fulfill my previous promise to Fool's Dream.
I hope everything goes smoothly.
