Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 80 The Season of Transition

Barbara has doubts about the true purpose of Rising Tide, and she wants to investigate this mysterious hacker organization.

"Maybe, I can try to get inside it first."

Thinking of this, Barbara sent an email to the virtual mailbox that was displayed after the deep male voice issued the final invitation just now, indicating that she had the intention to join Rising Tide.

And some brief personal information, which Rising Tide requested.

Of course, all the personal information was forged by Barbara, which was just a small skill for her.

Even if the Rising Tide organization really went to him to investigate Barbara's identity information, they would only find out that the person Barbara forged was real.

She also claimed that she has the top hacking skills in Pennsylvania, hoping to get the attention of the organization instead of starting from a peripheral cannon fodder.

At this point, Barbara is hiding her true level.

In fact, with her current technology, even in the whole world, she is still a first-class hacker.

Although Barbara seldom used these techniques, after all, she was the daughter of a policeman, so it would be better for her to commit fewer crimes.

Not long after, Rising Tide's reply came.

"Dear Ms. Gunnhild, we very much welcome you to join us. According to what you said, you are quite confident in your hacking skills. This is really great. We need talents like you very much now."

"It's just that before you officially join, we need to conduct some small tests on you, lest you are talking big or being a spy of other organizations. I hope you can understand."

"If you agree, please send 'Rising Tide' to... this mailbox one month later, and I will tell you the next step at that time."

After receiving the reply, the first thing Barbara did was not to read the content, but to immediately trace the sender's IP address.

Undoubtedly, it failed because the target she tracked down was a computer at an Internet café in Cleveland, Ohio.

Barbara wasn't discouraged. If they found out the other party so easily, then the Rising Tide Organization would be too weak.

In any case, it is an organization that can steal information from the government's secret database, and its strength is not much worse.

"A month later? Interesting..."

The next day, inside Kaitou Kidd's stronghold.

McKesson is experimenting with how far he can put the restoration to use.

He first found a wooden stick and broke it, then stretched out his hand to the broken stick, and at the same time chanted a spell.

"Restored!"

There was a flash of light, and the two broken sticks slowly moved closer together, successfully fitting together!

Maggison stopped casting spells, took a look at the repaired wooden stick, but found something wrong.

Why does it feel like this stick is much longer than before, and even the diameter has expanded a lot...

This……

It seems that the consumption of mana is also a bit of a problem. Repairing an ordinary wooden stick consumes about [-]% of his mana, but in fact the mana needed should be negligible.

McKesson mused.

He casts spells completely according to the memory transmitted by the system. There is no possibility of problems in theory. After all, this memory is recorded in the system as Dumbledore's experience, and it is impossible to repair such low-level magic that will make mistakes.

"That should be due to the magic power."

The magic source of wizards in the world of Harry Potter has always been a mystery. Since the birth of wizards, the theory of blood only has been recognized as truth.

However, it is indeed much easier for people with wizard blood to learn magic than ordinary people. Except for some favored people who can reach high positions, pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards are far stronger than non-pure blood wizards.

Of course, the background of the wizarding family is an important factor, but Magison believes that magic power may be the most fatal gap among them.

Take the red magic practiced by McKesson himself as an example. Koizumi Hongko, who has the blood of a witch, has a good magic power from birth. Practicing red magic can get twice the result with half the effort, and also has a natural attraction to the opposite sex.

But Magison can only rely on his own meditation to increase his magic power, and he doesn't have the physique to attract the opposite sex. At most, he can only improve his appearance.

In the world of Harry Potter, the magic power of pure-blood wizards and ordinary wizards is already significantly different, so Magison's magic power will naturally maximize the difference.

After all, Harry Potter's mainstream magic is white magic and black magic, which are completely different systems from red magic.

Maggison uses red magic to use white magic, and it is not surprising that there is an unnecessary loss of magic.

Sure enough, after adjusting the output method of magic power many times, Magison found the point where red magic and white magic switched.

Let him achieve the same restoration with the same magic power.

"Your obsessive-compulsive disorder is a bit serious, and one percent of the magic power can be ignored. According to your statement, using the red magic's usual way of mana output to restore it is only more than the white magic way. Seven percent attrition rate."

"When it comes to official use, there is no obvious difference at all."

Charlie couldn't help complaining as he watched Maggison happily trying out new ways of casting spells.

"Charlie, it's too negative for you to say that. You know, when it comes to the critical moment, even one ten-thousandth of the magic power may affect the outcome of a game."

Maggison said seriously.

"Ha, after all, it's because of your lack of strength and too little magic power. You should concentrate on how to make your magic power stronger."

Charlie stared at a pair of dead fish eyes and said, "And then again, you are a strange thief and you are not a superhero, what do you care about winning or losing?"

God knows how a dog can make dead fish eyes, Charlie's eyes haven't changed much, but in McKesson's eyes, he did make dead fish eyes.

Maggison was speechless at Charlie's relentless complaints.

You can only continue to practice and repair it.

This time he started trying to restore different items.

Such as Kaitou Kidd's costume and poker guns.

In this way, the time was spent in training and occasionally shopping with Barbara.

It's the start of the school year again!

McKesson has completed two years at Gotham University.

In his junior year, he went to New York University to study as an exchange student.

On the passenger ship heading to New York, Maggison hugged Charlie and sunbathed on the deck.

Barbara lay beside him.

In the hot weather, the two only put on their respective swimsuits.

Wearing sunglasses, McKesson's eyes admired Barbara's curvy figure in a bikini.

At the same time, Charlie stared at him with a pair of contemptuous dog eyes...
