I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world

Chapter 567 The Excited Wizard

In less than a day, news of the Entropy Brain spread like wildfire throughout the entire expeditionary force.

Jemin first noticed this situation because more than a dozen prying mental forces suddenly appeared outside his laboratory door.

Those spiritual energies cautiously probed over, seemingly wanting to communicate with him, but then retreated the moment he noticed them, only to probe over again a moment later.

He opened the door, but there was no one outside.

But the wizards gathered in small groups in the distance, glancing in this direction from time to time, gave everything away.

"What's going on?"

Jemin frowned and casually stopped a passing level 5 wizard.

The wizard's eyes lit up with an alarming light the moment he saw him.

"Jeming the Wizard! You must be Jeming the Wizard? The Jeming the Wizard who killed the information creature and obtained the Entropy Brain?"

Jemin: …It's me.

"That's wonderful!" The wizard exclaimed excitedly, almost incoherently. "Is... is the effect of that Entropy Brain real? Can it really help organize knowledge? Can it sort out those messy fragments of knowledge?"

Jemin paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

It seems that information about the Entropy Brain has spread throughout the entire expeditionary force.

Moreover, the wizards' reactions were even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

He waved the wizard away and turned to open the magic network terminal.

Sure enough, the public channels were in an uproar.

[Based on the functions of entropy-based brains, we can infer potentially effective applications.]

As Jemin watched the rapidly refreshing messages, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

These people are incredibly well-informed.

He turned off the magic network terminal, walked out of the laboratory, and decided to check out the situation outside himself.

Then he saw a scene that shocked him.

The once empty, desolate ship berth was now densely packed with people.

The wizards, who usually buried themselves in their own research, were now gathered in twos and threes, excitedly discussing something.

Some argued heatedly, some gestured wildly, and some even unfolded spell models in public, pointing to a certain point and talking incessantly. These wizards had completely lost their usual calm and rational demeanor.

Jemin even saw people making transactions.

A level 5 wizard was holding a pile of materials and was bargaining with another level 5 wizard.

What the level-five wizard was holding was an entropy brain the size of a fingernail.

"Five hundred thousand high-ranking military merits? Why don't you just rob someone!"

"Don't buy it if you think it's too expensive; plenty of people want it!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and fifty thousand at most! I'll also add these materials!"

"……make a deal!"

Jemin: ….

He silently withdrew his gaze, sighing inwardly.

The allure of the entropy brain was far greater than he had imagined.

But upon closer examination, it's actually not hard to understand.

The distribution of power in the wizarding civilization is not in the traditional pyramid shape, but in the gourd shape.

The largest number are naturally wizard apprentices and first and second-level wizards.

These people occupy the bottom layer of the entire civilization and are the population base of most forces.

But the situation changes as you go further up.

The second largest group is not level three wizards, but level four and five wizards.

The reason is simple: they live longer.

The combat power of level four and five wizards is sufficient to ensure their safety in regular interplanetary wars.

In addition, wizards are naturally long-lived, and even when they are nearing the end of their lifespan, they can use biochemical modifications or take longevity elixirs to extend their lifespan. It can be said that the lifespan of mid- to high-level wizards is almost infinite.

The wizarding civilization has developed over a very long period of time, and through generations of accumulation, the number of level four and level five wizards has long since reached a terrifying level.

In some established factions, the number of level four and five wizards may even exceed that of level one and two wizards.

Therefore, they are the true "backbone" of the entire wizarding civilization.

But the number of level six wizards decreases dramatically as you move up a level.

It's not because I don't live long, but because... it's too hard to get promoted.

To advance from level four to level five, one needs to achieve a 10% mastery of the rules.

To advance from level five to level six, one needs to achieve a 100% mastery of the laws.

It may seem like only a tenfold increase, but in reality, the difficulty of going from 10% to 100% completely surpasses the sum of the difficulty increases from all previous levels. And the law is knowledge.

Studying a field of knowledge is easy at first, but as your mastery increases, every 0.1% progress requires tremendous effort. Later on, many people find themselves stuck at a certain point, unable to advance any further no matter what they do.

After all, that's about the limit of their intelligence.

When research reaches its limit in depth, the only option is to expand horizontally and study the laws of other fields.

However, the rules of those fields are not very helpful for advancing to level six.

Of course, there are ways to circumvent this restriction.

That is the origin of the plane.

This thing can directly instill a large amount of fragmented knowledge into the user, regardless of whether you can understand it or not, it just stuffs it in first.

As long as you stuff enough in, your mastery of the rules will naturally increase.

It sounds great, but there are two problems.

First, the price.

A wisp of dimensional origin can only increase the mastery of laws by 0.1%. To go from 10% to 100%, a full nine hundred wisps are needed.

What is the concept of nine hundred strands of dimensional origin?

It wouldn't be enough to empty the coffers of an ordinary level 5 wizard ten times over.

Second, side effects.

The knowledge that is forcibly instilled is fragmented, disorganized, and unsystematic.

You may "know" about them, but you don't understand them at all.

It's like someone who has never studied physics being forced to memorize a bunch of formulas. They can memorize them, but can only use them rigidly. They won't be able to use them if there are any slight changes.

Forcibly advancing to level six under these conditions will result in almost no improvement in combat power.

In the future, when they encounter opponents of the same level, they will basically be crushed.

Even more deadly is that in the wizarding civilization, non-high-level wizards are forcibly conscripted to participate in interdimensional wars every once in a while.

If your level is low, the task is easy; if your level is high, the task is difficult.

A level six wizard who forcibly ascended to a higher level using the essence of the plane has inflated strength. If he were to participate in a plane expedition, he would face a true level six mission. The mortality rate would be terrifying to even think about.

Therefore, even if many level 5 wizards have accumulated enough resources, they dare not easily use the dimensional source to level up.

They'd rather stay at level five, relying on their extensive combat experience to get by, at least for safety.

As for advancing to level six, relying on the privileges of a high-ranking wizard to no longer participate in combat conscription, but instead staying in the wizarding civilization and drifting through life. It's not that it's impossible, but for a wizard who has already witnessed the endless chaotic void, this is tantamount to self-imprisonment.

Only old wizards who have lost their spirit would choose this path.

but now……

The entropy brain has emerged.

It can organize knowledge.

Those scattered, messy, and unsystematic fragments of knowledge, once sorted out by the entropy brain, instantly become well-organized.

Things that were previously known but not understood can gradually become comprehensible through the process of organizing and connecting them with existing knowledge. Things that were previously understood but not thoroughly can now be fully understood.

For wizards who had used the essence of the planes, this was a lifesaver.

Even without having used the dimensional origin, Entropy Brain can help you reorganize your existing knowledge, deepening your understanding and making your system more complete. What does this mean?

This means that the mastery of the rules may be further improved.

This means that we are one step closer to a higher level.

This means that wizards who have been stuck at a bottleneck for tens of thousands of years have finally seen hope for a breakthrough.

Jemin finally understood why those wizards' eyes had turned green.

If it were him, he'd be cuckolded too.

But the problem is...

Jemin looked up at the huge black crack in the sky.

At the crack, pure white light continued to surge.

Behind the dimensional barrier of the information plane, countless information creatures gathered densely, eyeing the ship plane with predatory intent.

Any creature that dares to venture in will be immediately targeted and attacked by them.

The blockade layer that Martin and those high-ranking wizards had previously set up did indeed trap the information creatures inside.

But it also kept the wizards out.

The current situation is that those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in.

The two sides remained locked in a standoff, separated by the cordon, with neither able to do anything.

Jemin frowned in thought.

Those information beings have clearly learned their lesson.

Instead of charging blindly, they stood behind the dimensional barrier, waiting for the wizards to come to them.

With their computing networks, no intruder can escape their detection.

To get in and harvest the entropy brain, you must first break through this defense.

However, without the support of the ship's dimensional array, even high-level wizards wouldn't dare say they could survive under such circumstances.

In fact, driven by their thirst for the Entropy Brain, many wizards had been discussing how to break through the enemy's defenses for the past few days. Just as Jemin was pondering this, his magic network terminal activated.
