Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3745 Seeing the big from the small
When you have not accessed the Modern City copy and just watch it from a box garden perspective.

Angel thinks that fashion magic is a very niche magic system. Its magical ability is not strong and it is more inclined towards life and assistance.

But when Ingres actually entered the modern city and began to try out the magic of fashion, he realized that his previous ideas might be wrong.

Fashion magic is indeed more inclined towards life and assistance, but this energy system has some abilities that completely defy basic logic.

Like the wizard system, it is done step by step, from the foundation to the beams, from the frame to the filling.

In the end, even if a spectacular building like the Tower of Babel was built, there are traces to follow.

But fashion magic is different. Its energy system is more like towering suspended rocks. It is magnificent and majestic, but its basic logic is completely unclear on the surface.

One is a solid foundation, the other is a castle in the air.

Take the ability of traffic insight for example. On the surface, it is ultimately a technique of “finding people”, but if you dig deeper, it can definitely be called the “art of destiny”.

The wizard system also has spells that can touch upon "fate", but this type of spells all start with the lowest level of tricks, such as the method of exhausting the future, asking for directions, lucky two choices, guidance by the stars... advancing step by step, from tricks to the spell stage, and finally touching upon "fate".

But the fashion magic system is not like this. Even the most common ability, “traffic insight”, involves “fate”.

Even if it's not deeply involved, this is fate.

How could Angle not be amazed by the magic of fashion?

Not only that, the variety show elves that Ingres possessed and the landscaping techniques they mastered were completely illogical and unreasonable creations out of thin air.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Just these two abilities changed Angel's view of fashion magic.

Although he is currently unable to judge what level the fashion magic system is at, the fashion magic system is definitely not as simple as it seems.

He had made the right decision to come to the Modern City dungeon.

But then again.

Although the ability of "traffic insight" is almost at the edge of fate, it is still useless to Angel...

It doesn't mean that if you are close to high-sounding concepts, you will definitely be strong.

For example, "continuous slashes" is a time-related ability, but even if Angel masters the continuous slashes, it can't actually produce much powerful effect.

In short, it's not suitable.

However, this is not important, because the Traffic Bat page is used for testing anyway.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not suitable. At worst, you can just refresh your skills later.

Now, let’s get back to the point and test the viral effect.

……

Still the roof of the Beverly Nursing Center.

There was a glowing mini page in Ingres's hand, which was "Appendix: Viralization".

"So, just push it into the page you want to use it on, and that's it?"

Turing nodded: "Yes, once used, it will cover the original page and generate a transparent film on the original page..."

While Turing was explaining, Angle had already pressed "Appendix: Virality" into the "Traffic Bat" page.

With the integration of the mini book pages, the page of traffic bats indeed generated a transparent film, covering the entire page tightly.

At the same time, it also emits a faint glow.

"All enhanced pages will glow." Turing said, "Not only the appendix, but also the prologue, introduction, postscript, chapter page, and even adding footnotes to the pages will make the pages glow."

Therefore, if you want to roughly judge the strength of a fashion magician, you can also use the light of the pages of his magic book as a basis.

Although it doesn’t mean that all magicians who possess glowing pages are necessarily strong, powerful magicians must have glowing pages!
"Besides indicating that the pages have been strengthened, does this light have any other meaning?" Angel asked curiously.

Turing shook his head: "Not really."

Ingres: ...Well, it's just special effects, he understands.

The glowing effect can make the magic book more modern, and that's enough.

Angel looked intently at the pages of the book that were emitting a faint glow. He discovered that the pages of the original Flow Bat had not actually changed, but the surface of the transparent film formed by the "Appendix" had some strange patterns.

Once these patterns overlapped with the original pages, the page of traffic bats underwent a huge change.

First of all, the illustration of the traffic bat has changed.

The original illustration showed that high in the sky, a traffic bat soared up, stirring up the thick clouds to form huge flowing cloud wings.

And now.

The overall illustration remained unchanged, but the white clouds turned into a thick black cloud, and even the wings of the flowing clouds turned into dark black wings.

It looks even weirder and darker.

The text description below the illustration also undergoes obvious changes under the influence of the pattern of the transparent film.

First of all, the name of Traffic Bat has changed to "Traffic Bat. Viral".

Then, the two capabilities of Traffic Bat were both suffixed with "viral".

Finally, and most importantly, the two viral ability effects have all undergone important iterative updates compared to the original effects.

Angel closed his eyes, feeling a large amount of information flowing into his mind.

As he digested the text information, Angel finally had a general understanding of the two new abilities.

"Traffic aggregation and virality: It can make an event or news that has already happened spread almost virally and quickly gather traffic."

Judging from the surface, only a few words have changed, but Ingres felt that the effect should be definitely different from before.

But we need to test it to know the specific difference.

This time, Angel did not go outside to look for the "incident" test, but looked directly inside the nursing center.

From a bird's eye view, he patrolled the interior of the nursing center, and soon he locked onto the subject of the test.

That's a female nurse.

She carried a tray of medicines, came out of the nearby pharmaceutical building, walked through the path in the yard, and headed towards the main building of the nursing center.

She could have walked through the winding corridor inside the building, but in order to save time, she chose to leave the building and take a shortcut through the courtyard.

It was also because of this shortcut that she encountered a disaster of not so small a magnitude.

Her feet sank into the gap between the floor tiles.

There is a sewage canal under the floor tiles, and generally speaking, the gap is very small. Generally speaking, it will not fall into the gap.

But she was too thin, and her ankles were as thin as a child's. In addition, she hit a stone not far in front of the gap, and stumbled. With her instep tensed, she inserted her foot vertically into the gap between the floor tiles.

I got stuck there instantly.

This kind of thing with a very low probability of happening happened just like that.

Because the foot was not sprained but just stuck, the nurse did not think of calling for help. Instead, she squatted on the ground and tried to pull the foot out.

But the gap between the floor tiles was even smaller than she had imagined, and the tiles had right angles, and her posture was incorrect. If she pulled it out forcefully, it might leave a large scratch.

Just when she was struggling over whether to call for help, Angel selected this "stuck" incident as the test subject for this "traffic aggregation and virality".

Ingres's schematic diagram is cleverly manipulated.

“After going viral, does the consumption of traffic aggregation change?”

Turing shook his head: "The consumption is the same as before, still the lowest is 1 point, the highest is 100 points."

Angel: "Then it still consumes 1 point."

Turing did not hesitate, and the small TV flickered.

A dark beam of light instantly merged into the surroundings of the female nurse.

The female nurse herself did not notice anything, but with her as the center, a large amount of black fog that was invisible to the naked eye began to surge, and then quickly spread to the surroundings like a black tide.

The black tide came, both inside and outside the yard.

None of them could resist the black tide.

All those who still had normal thinking in the black tide stopped their original work and looked around in confusion.

Someone opened the window and looked outside.

Someone gave up his job, walked out of the room and went to where the female nurse was.

In less than half a minute, more than 30 people gathered around the female nurse, and even more people opened the windows in the corridor and looked down...

Regardless of how the female nurse felt at the time, it is at least certain that the nurse's stuck foot should have been saved.

……

"Did you count the number of people just now?" Angel looked at Turing.

Turing nodded: "At least 170 people were affected, but only 30 of them went around the female nurse, and most of them were just watching."

"From the data analysis, the viral traffic aggregation has increased tenfold compared to the original version."

“Also, the speed of gathering is much faster than the original version.”

The tenfold effect is just the surface data.

But Angel discovered through Nightmare Sense that the effect of "Traffic Aggregation and Virality" is more than just an increase in volume. The most important point is...

Everyone could sense the incident of "the female nurse's foot being stuck" directly in their minds.

This is different from the previous "kid wrestling" incident. The crowd gathered before, and everything seemed like a coincidence, not like it was affected by any ability.

Even the little old lady who first discovered the child fall "accidentally" discovered the child fall while watering the flowers.

The logical chain is consistent.

But now, "traffic aggregation and viralization" is simply not installed, and no matter whether the logic is consistent or not, the information about the female nurse's foot being stuck is directly "projected" into the minds of all people affected by the "black tide".

The most important thing is that 99% of people don’t think there is anything wrong with this information being “projected” in their minds.

It seems that this illogical thing seems reasonable to them.

This is obviously not right.

It should be that "traffic aggregation and virality" not only projects information directly into their minds, but also uses some kind of cognitive modification ability to make them feel that "even if the information appears directly in their minds", it is reasonable.

Only 1% of people are exempt from the ability of "cognitive modification", and this 1% are the fashion magicians headed by Connors.

To sum up, there are three major changes in "Traffic Aggregation and Virality" compared to the original version.

First, the efficiency of traffic aggregation has increased by at least ten times.

Second, the event is projected directly into the mind of the person affected.

Third, the cognition of the projected person is modified. Ordinary people cannot be exempted from this, but fashion magicians can be exempted from cognitive modification.

There is no doubt that the above three changes are far superior to the original version in terms of effect.

Moreover, the efficiency of traffic aggregation is also quite amazing. If 100 heat points are directly invested and started at full power, the number of people affected can instantly exceed .

This is much, much better than the original.

Moreover, the two powerful weapons of directly projecting events into the mind and modifying cognition also increase the degree of concealment.

However, there is a slight flaw in that the Fashion Magician's cognition cannot be modified.

But this is nothing, and this time, Angel only invested 1 heat point; maybe the more heat points invested, the different the effect will be, and then he can modify the cognition of the fashion magician?
So, all in all, the viral effect is still good.

At least it's better than the original.

Of course, the original version is more concealed because it must be "logically consistent". But this cannot deny the fact that the viral version has a stronger effect.

Because of the current upper limit of hot spots, Angel has no way to test the effect of "traffic aggregation and virality" by investing more hot spots.

We can only temporarily speculate by magnifying the situation of 1 heat point by 100 times.

After that, when the upper limit of the heat point is higher, you will know the answer by testing it again.

After testing the viral traffic aggregation, Angell looked at the second viral ability...

However, before Angel began to test the second viral ability, Turing suddenly said:

"Master, I found something strange!"

Angel looked at Turing: "What's wrong?"

Turing motioned for Ingres to look down.

Below, the female nurse's foot had been freed and the crowd dispersed. However, even as the crowd dispersed, many people began to discuss the incident.

Discussion and gossip are nothing big in themselves, and everyone has a curious mind.

Especially in a busy work environment, some gossip can help relieve boredom.

But the situation below is a little different because there are so many people gossiping.

Almost everyone who has been affected by the "Kuroshio" is happy to gossip with others about the "female nurse's foot getting stuck" incident.

No matter how topical this matter is, it would not influence so many people to gossip about it.

This is clearly not the norm.

Angel did not hesitate and immediately contacted several of the people who were interested in talking through Nightmare.

After a while, after questioning them, Ingres finally understood the reason.

Apart from the fashion magician, all ordinary people who were affected by the "black tide" developed a strong desire to confide in each other after experiencing the "female nurse's foot stuck".

They really want to talk about this.

Just like the spread of a virus, not only do they want to know about it themselves, they also want more people to know about it.
