205 Foundation of Strength
It has been four days since I lived in this strange and deserted village.
These four days have been safe and sound, and I have lived a very dull life, so dull that I am so bored.
In the past four days, Gao Qi has basically never left the house, and Anna has basically never left the house. Only Niu Lidong would walk around the house every day, putting the only remaining directional thunder here today and changing its location tomorrow.
Gao Qi intentionally distanced himself from the deserted people because he did not need to get along with the deserted people with a kind attitude. Afraid of power but not being virtuous is basically the common feature of all the deserted people. Gao Qi did not need to find the deserted people as followers for himself.
Mark would send fresh meat every day, and wheat flour, corn flour, or potatoes. The food was monotonous, but it was not scarce. Apart from the taste was a bit hard to describe, there was nothing to complain about.
So what have Gao Qi been doing these days? He is thinking.
What do magic and superpowers have in common and what are the differences? This alone took three days to go up.
The biggest difference between magic and superpower is that magic is a mature knowledge system. From identifying whether a person has the talent to learn magic, to firmly establishing what type of magic a person is suitable for learning, after determining these, talented people can start from basic knowledge step by step, from magic apprentices, apprentice magicians, elementary, advanced, master, and then to magicians, these are mature systems that make people learn step by step slowly.
Then the magician has many auxiliary means to enhance the power of magic, such as magic circles, spells, and some materials that have buffs for magic as spell casting assistance, and there are countless such things.
But superpowers are different. Everything about superpowers is uncontrollable and unstable. If magic is a mature knowledge system, then superpowers are purely experienced systems.
Every psychic person has his own experience, but they cannot pass on their own experience to others, which will inevitably lead to very difficult dissemination and learning of psychic powers.
Now, Gao Qi can confirm that the magician and psychic demands on mental power are extremely high, which is the basis of everything.
Here at Tom, Gao Qi finally made a major discovery of awakening.
Tom's awakening process is completed under the influence of high rise, and high rise also determines the direction of Tom's awakening, but the most important thing is that high rise makes the very dangerous awakening process much simpler and safer.
But Tom's awakening is a natural thing. All Gao Qi does is to guide and promote, but it cannot make an ordinary person awaken without any foundation.
The primary problem Gao Qi wants to solve now is how to discover potential psychics. He doesn't care what happened to Tom, so he has the conditions to awaken, because this is talent. The child of a magician may not necessarily become a magician, and the child of a magician may not necessarily become a psychic.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Awakening is the first hurdle faced by all psychics and the most dangerous hurdle. However, it is too late to exert influence on it when it reaches the awakening stage.
What’s more important is how to find potential people before awakening, before they awaken to become mutants, or more likely to fail to awaken and become mutants, and through certain learning, they can become mutants.
In layman's terms, Gao Qi hopes to become a tutor in the Superpower Kindergarten, rather than establishing a Superpower University.
But the high up is stuck at the step of how to discover potential users.
Now, Bernhard, the one who studies superpowers the most profoundly, has discovered a superpower detector that can successfully detect superpowers and mutants, but no one except Bernhard knows what the core secret of the detector is.
Magic selects talented people from ordinary people, relying on a crystal. If the affinity for magic is very high, it will be reflected in the reaction of the crystal. This is the first step in screening, but mental power determines the upper limit of a magician and determines the final achievement of a magician.
There are many ways to test the intensity of mental power, including mature magic items and mature observation system. The easiest way is to teach the magic apprentice a magic rune, whether you can draw this rune with your mental power, and whether you can use this magic rune to release a simple magic. Even if it only causes magic fluctuations, it can test the strength of your mental power to a certain extent.
It's been three days since Gao Qi came up with this.
On the morning of the fourth day, Gao Qi planned to verify whether his ideas were correct.
But Anna is Gao Qi's only experimental subject.
"I'm not good at math and I'm so poor at science, so my logical thinking is very poor, so I can't quite understand some key issues."
After slowly speaking to Anna, Gao Qi took out an energy core, and then he said seriously: "I'm very sure there is no magic power in this world, but I can consume the energy core as magic power. I can't figure it out. Can you figure it out?"
Anna thought sideways and said, "Just like plants that combine sunlight and hydration into organic matter through photosynthesis, I think the energy core may be like sunlight or water to you. Anyway, it can be used after the transformation in you. That's what I always think."
Gao Qi was stunned for a while and suddenly said, "Yes, your idea is very interesting, well, that's it. After a few days of thinking, I thought of a way to verify the intensity of mental power. I hope you can give it a try."
Anna said with interest: "Oh? Is it magic or supernatural power?"
"My idea is that the combination of magic and superpowers is that since this world does not have magic power, but can use the energy core to release magic, then the energy core and magic runes may be able to be used in combination, and mental power is the catalyst. If the magic runes and energy core can react, it means that the person's mental power is relatively high."
Anna said with interest: "What?"
"Then I made a magic scroll, the easiest reel that even magic apprentices can trigger, and then, add an energy core."
Gao Qi took out a piece of paper, but it was blank.
"This is just a piece of white paper."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "I can no longer use magic items to make scrolls. Of course, the most basic and simple one. Now there is a magic rune I drew with my mental power on this piece of paper. If you can ignite it, it means that your mental power is relatively strong, at least to the point where you can awaken independently in the future. Well, do you want to give it a try?"
