Chapter 83: Chapter 83

In the following days, Lis spent almost all his time in the laboratory, only returning to his bedroom to rest when he couldn't continue.Angela didn't disturb Lis; instead, she developed a liking for sleeping on the maid Rossi's chest, which slightly troubled Rossi.

During these days, Lis wasn't distracted by anything else and had devoted all his energy to the engraving of Magic Patterns for civilian enchanted products.

In his previous life in the game, developing Magic Patterns only required randomly sketching like a "Ghost Talisman" and relying on luck to see if it worked.

Engraving runes was just a matter of copying the model, which posed no difficulty.

But now, Lis couldn't do that. This was a real world, and engraving Magic Patterns required not only the patterns themselves but also the output of Magic Power during the engraving and the corresponding techniques, all of which Lis needed to reproduce.

That is why, even though Lis had mastered these Magic Patterns in his previous life, he still needed to invest so much effort in figuring them out bit by bit now.

However, once Lis had determined the entire process of the Magic Pattern engraving, it would be much easier for others to mimic his method.

Holding the engraving pen, Lis sketched the final stroke on a Crystal Stone that had faded in color, completing the full Magic Pattern on it.

Lis examined the Elemental Crystal in his hand, feeling satisfied; this time, he seemed to have succeeded.

With a thought, Magic Power flowed before his eyes, and Lis viewed the Crystal Stone through his Elemental Vision.

In Lis's Elemental Vision, specks of blue Elemental Particles were slowly gathering from the surroundings into the Crystal Stone in his hand, making its light brighten slightly.

Indeed, the "Self-Charging" Magic Pattern had been successfully developed!

The gathering of blue Elemental Particles into the Crystal Stone indicated that the Water Element Crystal Stone, whose Elemental Power had been depleted, was slowly regaining its contained Magic Power.

This was the effect Lis wanted to achieve and was the core of the civilian enchanted products.

In this world, the path of technological development was almost completely blocked; all foundational powers were based on Magic Power.

Therefore, naturally, in the world of Gaia, places enriched with Magic Elements could form Elemental Crystal Mines, producing various types of Elemental Crystals and also more precious Magic Gems.

The power contained within Magic Gems is far purer than that of Elemental Crystals, almost without any impurities.

At the same time, within each Elemental Crystal Mine, the production of Magic Gems is quite scarce, and their price ranges from ten to hundreds of times that of Elemental Crystals.

The biggest difference between them lies in the fact that a Magic Gem, upon depleting the Magic Power it contains, can automatically absorb corresponding Elemental Particles from the surroundings to recharge its power, while an Elemental Crystal cannot do this.

In other words, Magic Gems have an automatic charging effect that allows them to automatically refill their Magic Power.

Elemental Crystals, however, are single-use; after the Magic Power they contain is expended, they become just ordinary stones, without any other uses.

Even the lowest-grade Magic Gems are valued at around a hundred gold coins.

Whereas a regular Elemental Crystal is priced at around ten gold coins.

Magic Gems are primarily used in magical equipment, weapons, Arrays, and high-end devices, while Elemental Crystals, due to their impure Magic Power, are mostly used for powering Magic Arrays and Magic Crystal Cannons and other magical products.

On this Water Element Crystal Stone, whose power had been exhausted, the Magic Pattern that Lis engraved could enable it to achieve an effect similar to that of a Magic Gem, slowly absorbing Elemental Particles to restore its Magic Power.

This was the primary premise for making enchanted products viable for civilian use.

The biggest obstacle to civilians using enchanted products now is not technology, but cost!

Take Magic Air Conditioning as an example, is the technology of Magic Rune really that high?

Not really, as long as one knows how to use the basic "Magic Guidance" rune and the "Ice Wind Skill" Magic Array, one can achieve effects similar to modern air conditioners.

But the biggest problem is the source of magic power!

Just like how appliances in the past needed electricity, enchanted products also need a supply of magic power to operate.

If Water Element Crystal Stones are used, they would need to be replaced every few days, which makes the cost too high. Only a small elite of the kingdom could afford such an expense purely for personal enjoyment.

Frankly, if one were to use Water Element Magic Gems, the current production of magic gems is still not enough for the consumption of all kinds of magic equipment and weapons in the kingdom, let alone being used in civilian products.

To promote enchanted products to the civilian sector, lowering prices, and enhancing usability, are difficulties that must be overcome.

Therefore, a Magic Rune that can recondense magic power in depleted Elemental Crystals is undoubtedly the most important invention for the vast majority of ordinary people.

This is a major breakthrough that allows commoners to access and enjoy the conveniences that magic brings to life.

Indeed, in my previous life, once this series of magic runes had been popularized, more and more civilian enchanted products elevated the entire world's level of enchanted products by a whole tier, and their prices fell to a level affordable by the common people.

This was essentially a revolution in enchanted products in the Gaia World!

Thus, the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune on this Elemental Crystal Stone that Lis held was the key to unlocking a new era.

Lis clutched the Crystal Stone tightly, gradually calming his excited emotions, repeatedly engraved it hundreds, thousands of times, and scrapped countless Magic Crystal Stones, until he finally succeeded in reproducing the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune from his previous life.

However, just reproducing the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune was not enough. Lis's experiences from his former life told him that merely mastering this rune was far from sufficient.

Whoever it were, nobody would just sit by and watch this huge pie fall into the hands of others.

There were smart people other than Lis. The "Self-Charging" Magic Rune was not an advanced technology, and even though players in his previous life took some secrecy measures, it was quickly cracked by others and the rune spread far and wide.

So, Lis had to think of a way to delay or even prevent others from cracking the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune.

Limited sales of the products was unrealistic. The civilian enchanted products envisioned by Lis had to first hit rock-bottom prices, adopting a thin profit or even no-profit, high-volume strategy to quickly make the common people accept and start using Lis's products.

Getting civilian enchanted products into the hearts of people was the way to earn more profits in the future. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Since he couldn't make a mark with the product, the only option was to work on the Magic Rune itself.

Lis knew of a special class of magic rune called "Hidden," which functioned to protect other magic runes from being spied on and cracked by others.

If someone tried to forcefully crack it, it would trigger the "Hidden" Magic Rune's self-destruction program, preventing others from obtaining the magic rune sequence protected by the "Hidden" Magic Rune.

Simply attempting to deduce from the external Magic Rune sequence that there is a "Hidden" Magic Rune involved is incredibly difficult.

This method was often used by Magic Rune Masters in high-end enchanted products, and every Magic Rune Master has their unique magic rune heritage. By using the "Hidden" Magic Rune, they prevent others from stealing their exclusive magic runes through the enchanted products.

Therefore, the "Hidden" series of magic runes was very suitable for Lis's current situation.

And fortunately, among the people Lis knew, there was one who mastered the "Hidden" Magic Rune.

That was none other than the Magic Rune Master Yousef Daher!
