Chapter 13: Potion Digestion
In the dormitory,
Wang Xiaoming used a computer to summarize the information he knew about ghost-exorcising ringtones into a list and sent it to Zhao Jianguo's email through the intranet.

He also brought along twenty audio copies of ghost-chasing bell sounds, and told the other party that he could only make twenty copies of the ghost-chasing bell sounds at present. Only if one of the audio copies was completely damaged could he make a new ghost-chasing bell sound.

As for whether his uniqueness would be revealed, Wang Xiaoming didn't care too much. After all, as his sequence improved, he would bring greater changes to the world.

But in order to make everyone accept it, he has to take it slowly, package it as a supernatural power, and not expose everything.

After seeing that the email was sent successfully, Wang Xiaoming deleted the original and then turned off the computer.

……

Sitting in front of the computer, with white light shining on his face, Zhao Jianguo looked at the audio file in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Professor Wang's research on supernatural powers is getting deeper and deeper. I can't imagine how he made this ghost-exorcising bell."

After receiving the email, he tried various operations on the ringtone, including deleting and copying. However, no matter how he operated the computer, he could not change the status of the ringtone file. The only function he could use was to move the audio location.

Even if we ask the computer experts at the headquarters to compile it at the bottom level of the system, it will not change the status of the ghost-exorcising bell.

"Captain, how do we deal with these audios?" A computer expert who was called over asked Zhao Jianguo.

At this moment, sweat appeared on his forehead, not because of the heat, but because he was frightened by the audio in front of him. As a staff member of the headquarters, he also knew the existence of evil spirits, but due to the nature of his work, he had never seen one. Today, he was really shocked by what he saw. It was really a challenge to his worldview.

He didn't expect that the evil ghost could actually affect these virtual files in the computer. It was simply a natural nemesis for him, a computer expert. If there was a computer ghost, would he be the first to die?
"First, send some of the ghost-exorcising ringtones to these ghost handlers. They have all handled a supernatural incident recently, so it's a good idea to give them out as rewards." Zhao Jianguo took out a list and handed it to the computer expert. "Send the detailed information as well."

"As for the rest, they will be transferred to the headquarters supercomputer and will be used when needed in the future."

There is a reason for this arrangement. With the frequent outbreaks of supernatural events, more ghost riders are needed to handle them. However, there are too few ghost riders at the headquarters because the appearance of each ghost rider is an accident.

In order to suppress supernatural events, the ghost hunters at the headquarters always rush to the front, resulting in heavy casualties.

Also, because the headquarters has a firm attitude in handling supernatural events, many ghost hunters would rather join private clubs or become individual individuals than join the headquarters.

In order to recruit civilian ghost riders, the headquarters had to continuously increase their salaries and benefits, and also let some of them become city leaders. In the end, they also recruited some ghost riders.

But everyone is selfish. Even the ghost riders trained by the headquarters are afraid of death, not to mention the newly recruited ghost riders from the public.

Even if they finally joined the headquarters, they would not dare to fight with all their strength for fear of the revival of evil spirits. Every time they dealt with supernatural incidents, they had to bargain with the headquarters.

Moreover, as ghost riders use the power of the evil spirits in their bodies, their bodies will gradually be eroded by supernatural powers. Due to the death of the physical body and the influence of the evil spirits on their mind, the ghost rider's normal humanity will gradually be distorted.

It is very likely that a sunny and kind person will turn into an evil and chaotic person after becoming a ghost rider.

This world turns people into ghosts.

In order to deal with the crisis, the headquarters improved its internal mechanisms and made the relationship with the ghost riders more like a cooperative one, where merits will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished.

The ghost-chasing bell left by Zhao Jianguo will be the bargaining chip in future negotiations, used to drive the ghost rider.

Until the problem of the resurrection of evil spirits is solved, such things will happen countless times.

As an ordinary person, Zhao Jianguo could not make a decision to let one person sacrifice his life to save the majority;
But he is the captain of the headquarters, and faced with this terrible situation, he has to make a choice.

On the other hand, several responsible persons who received the ghost-exorcising bell were very surprised. They did not expect that the headquarters had invented an item that could defend against attacks from evil spirits.

Okawa City,
In the smoke-filled room, the satellite phone dinged and lit up in the thick fog.

"Cough cough cough..."

Amid a cough, someone picked up the satellite phone and started looking at it, as if the thick smoke could not affect his vision. After a while, the cough sounded again and the light of the satellite phone disappeared.

Dadong City, Ning'an Building.

As the sky gradually darkened and the building was brightly lit, Wang Chaling stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, drinking red wine in one hand and checking with a satellite phone in the other.

"Interesting, a ghost-chasing bell? " After saying that, he turned on the player, and an unrememberable eerie bell sounded from the top of the building.

Dachang City, inside a townhouse.

Feng Quan was sitting in the living room checking the satellite phone. When he saw that the ghost-exorcising ringtone could be restored on its own and continued to be used as long as it was not destroyed at once, he couldn't help but be happy about his decision to join the headquarters.

……

Wang Xiaoming was very happy.

Just now he discovered that one tenth of the potion in his body had been digested. This was just the result of learning eighty-one spiritual runes.

According to this inference, does it mean that he only needs to learn 810 psychic runes to completely digest the universalist's potion?
There were still a dozen or so supernatural materials in the laboratory that he hadn't checked yet. If he checked them all, his digestion speed of the potion would definitely increase greatly. It would probably take less than a month to completely digest the potion. By then, he would become Sequence Eight, which would also improve his combat power. Even if he couldn't deal with evil spirits, he would be able to improve his physical fitness, at least not be as weak as he is now.

On the other hand, the total amount of spiritual energy will also be increased, so he doesn't have to be stingy every time he consumes spiritual energy.

At the same time, your permissions in the Knowledge Wilderness can be improved, and perhaps new functions will appear.

Wang Xiaoming did not fall into fantasy. Feeling that his spiritual recovery was complete, he took out the bronze sheet he had prepared today and placed it on the coffee table.

The coffee table in the living room has now become his regular spot for setting up rituals, and he is preparing to make an identification charm.

Following yesterday's steps, Wang Xiaoming completed the ceremony arrangements and recited the prayer again.

After each process, three identification talismans would be produced. After five ceremonies, Wang Xiaoming successfully produced fifteen talismans and then stopped the ceremony.

These talismans are enough to identify all the supernatural materials in the laboratory. No matter how many more there are, they will be useless. After all, these talismans cannot be preserved for a long time. They can only be preserved for a week at most.

After cleaning up the coffee table, Wang Xiaoming began to practice meditation again to exercise his control over spiritual power. However, he was still too rough at controlling his spiritual power.

After practicing for twenty minutes, he picked up the mechanical book again.

Although he has the magical runes to digest the potion, Wang Xiaoming will not underestimate the wisdom of modern civilization. According to his understanding of the craftsman's path, the richer the knowledge, the more powerful this path will be.

The greatest convenience of living in modern society is that it is very easy to acquire knowledge. Ninety percent of human knowledge can be found on the Internet. Faced with the knowledge of a new world, no knowledgeable person will refuse it.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming would not give up on acquiring new knowledge. Perhaps after he figured this out, the magic potion in his body was digested suddenly, giving him a lot of feedback.

At this moment, another tenth of the universal potion was digested.

After Wang Xiaoming sensed that the potion was digested, he just smiled faintly, did nothing more, and continued reading.

The next morning, Laboratory No. 3.

Wang Xiaoming took the newly made identification talisman and looked at the supernatural materials lined up in a row. He was very curious about the identification results of the supernatural materials.

He first cast a spell on the white powdery supernatural material. Wang Xiaoming's eyes glowed, and inexplicable information flowed from his heart.
'A supernatural material that contains the power of pollution, transformation, and blood, suitable for making offensive items.'

"Hmm?" Wang Xiaoming felt the information. "It clearly indicates the properties and usage of the materials. The effect is good and can save a lot of testing time."

Although this result did not meet Wang Xiaoming's expectations, the identified power attribute was very useful for him to comprehend the spiritual runes.

In order to avoid waste, Wang Xiaoming continued to identify supernatural materials while the power of the talisman was still there.

'It is a supernatural material that contains the power of splitting and multiplying, suitable for making explosive items. 'This is a ball of soft and sticky white meat.

'It is a supernatural material that contains the power of suppression, weakening, and transformation, and is suitable for making control items. 'This is a bowl of dirty water, and from time to time bubbles rise from the bottom of the bowl and then burst.

A smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's lips. He put his head close to the sewage and observed it carefully, as if he saw a rare treasure.

"Not bad!"

Because the properties of this supernatural material are so suitable for making items to suppress the revival of evil spirits.

At the same time, the experiment of controlling the second evil ghost also requires such materials. I think the improvement in the success rate of the headquarters experiment in the original work may be due to the discovery of the effect of this supernatural material.

'It contains vibrations and spreads...'

'It contains diseases and infections...'

"It contains parasitism and regeneration..."

Supernatural materials are constantly being identified. Whenever the power of the identification spell is exhausted, Wang Xiaoming will use a new one. Today he will identify all of these supernatural materials.

Suddenly, when he identified the last kind of supernatural material, Wang Xiaoming saw another material that made his eyes light up... 'Supernatural material containing explosion, pollution, and vibration power, suitable for making explosive items.'

Explosive items?!

The first thing Wang Xiaoming thought of was explosives, and then bullets. If he could invent magical explosives and magical bullets that could harm evil spirits, could he change the current situation where humans are unable to deal with evil spirits?
By then, everyone will have a supernatural pistol, which can be used to shoot evil ghosts so hard that they can't even lift their heads. If they encounter an evil ghost that is difficult to deal with, they can just blast it at the targeted spot. By then, ordinary people will also be able to deal with supernatural events.

Going a step further, it is not impossible to equip all modern weapons with supernatural explosives and launch a counterattack to the supernatural land.

But before that, he had to research and develop usable spiritual gunpowder so that he could create more complex spiritual weapons.
