Chapter 3: Tricky Words, Identification Spell

Time always passes quickly when you are sleeping.

When Wang Xiaoming woke up, it was already 1:40 in the afternoon. He had slept for almost an hour.

Sensing the spirituality in his body, Wang Xiaoming could feel that he had almost recovered. He no longer felt mentally sleepy as he had after his previous nap. He now just felt full of energy.

After a quick wash, he put on his unchanging white coat and put the three talismans in his pocket. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and went back to the bedroom bookshelf to get a book on mechanical manufacturing.

On the way to the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming recalled the useful information about the potion system from his previous life.

He doesn't need to worry about the formula and preparation of the potion, because when he has completely digested the current potion, he can actively draw on the origin of the wilderness of knowledge to obtain the next sequence of potions.

Compared to the ghost riders in this world, he already has a clear extraordinary system.

The most important thing now is how to digest the potion as quickly as possible. Since the spellcaster path is a gift of power and does not require digestion, he now only needs to consider the potion of the craftsman path.

Regarding digesting the potion, the role-playing method was mentioned in the previous life novel. You can act out the role according to the name of the potion, summarize your own role-playing rules, and thoroughly digest the potion.

However, the novel does not clearly describe how to play the role of the polyglot. The meaning of the polyglot's name is relatively vague. He can only be understood as a traveler on the path to knowledge.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. This is why he brought a book with him when he went out. After all, this sequence is related to knowledge.

After arriving at the laboratory building and going through multiple identity verifications, Wang Xiaoming came to Laboratory No. 3 deep in the building. At this time, more than a dozen young people in white coats had gathered outside the laboratory door, including Zhao Guangxian who had volunteered in the morning.

At this time, Zhao Guangxian was standing alone outside the crowd and did not integrate into the group. Wang Xiaoming did not say much either. These young people would slowly get to know each other on their own.

Amidst respectful greetings, Wang Xiaoming took out his nameplate, swiped it on the machine next to him, and passed the fingerprint and pupil verification before the door of Laboratory No. 3 was opened.

After entering the gate, everyone came to an empty silver-white space, where several machines that looked like workbenches stood.

Wang Xiaoming suddenly stopped and said to a burly man beside him, "Pang Dong, explain the work process here to the newcomer, and then let him take turns to familiarize himself with it."

"Okay, professor." Pang Dong nodded and looked at Zhao Guangxian, "Newcomer, come here."

After dealing with the newcomer's problem, Wang Xiaoming opened another door and went deeper into the laboratory.

Because of the special nature of the supernatural, ordinary people have no resistance to it at all. So in order to ensure that the imprisoned supernatural beings will not escape, each laboratory has multiple layers of protection, and the amount of gold consumed alone is as much as tens of tons.

Without relevant permissions, it is impossible to freely enter and exit multiple laboratories.

Everyone stopped only when they arrived at a hall deep in the laboratory. There were many equipments here, and there were doors around, but no one knew where they led to.

A short woman walking behind him trotted forward, holding a paper document in her hand and handed it to Wang Xiaoming. "Professor, this is the experimental data from this morning."

Wang Xiaoming took the information and read it carefully. Fortunately, it was only information for one morning and there were only a few A4 papers stapled together. He finished reading it in no time.

"Continue with the morning experiment and go through all the procedures," Wang Xiaoming handed the information back and seemed to remember something. He called the woman back, "By the way, Chen Wei, is there any movement from the ghost rider yesterday?"

Chen Wei returned, frowning slightly and said, "Because of the special nature of this supernatural event, we blocked the sound from the laboratory. However, we received several signals, but none of them were the agreed ones. I'm afraid this ghost rider is in danger."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaoming nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of that. You guys go ahead and do your work."

Watching others leave from the passage, Wang Xiaoming turned and walked into another passage.

“Trample! Trample… Trample!”

Along with the footsteps, lights came on in the empty corridor, turning the corridor into daytime.

With a beep.

The golden door at the end of the corridor opened. Next to the door was the word "A" made up of green lights. Wang Xiaoming came to Laboratory No. A.

Each digital laboratory in the base occupies a large area, and there are four separate and unconnected text laboratories inside, named A, B, C, and D, which are used to conduct different experiments separately.

Laboratory No. A is generally the most important one, and the most urgent research task is to assist the ghost rider in controlling the second ghost. There is a ghost rider in Laboratory No. A now.

Entering the laboratory, the area is about 100 square meters, with multiple workbenches and a leisure area. In front is a translucent golden glass. Behind the glass is the observation room, which contains a long rectangular box made of gold.

The observation room is the most important place in the laboratory. It is entirely covered with gold, and all the supernatural objects used for experiments are placed in the observation room.

The golden box holds a ghost rider named Wei Yan, codenamed Shukou Zen. The spirit he controls is a pair of strange lips, which can launch supernatural attacks through sound, somewhat similar to the "words come true" in mythology, and is very powerful. The name of the supernatural file is: Ghost Words.

Because Wei Yan used his supernatural powers many times, his supernatural powers were revived, so he had to come to the headquarters to fight for a chance of survival.

At that time, Wang Xiaoming thought this ability was very special. Coincidentally, there was an equally special ghost in the headquarters, with a blue-black tongue, and it also launched ghost attacks through sound. The name of the ghost file was: Ghost Language.

According to archival records, Wang Xiaoming discovered that the abilities of the two were very similar, and should be a supernatural puzzle, so he decided to let them control the ghost language.

Because of the special nature of her supernatural powers, she could not leak any sound, so she was given a special signal device so that after she successfully controlled it, she could send a signal to notify them so that they could release her from the golden coffin. However, something was wrong since yesterday. Wei Yan had not sent a clear and correct signal.

Coming to the workbench, Wang Xiaoming checked the experimental data. The data showed that Wei Yan in the golden coffin showed signs of activity, but no signs of life could be detected.

It can be basically determined that Wei Yan is dead, Wang Xiaoming thought to himself, took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, went to the leisure area, sat on the sofa, and wrote on the white paper, "Wei Yan is dead."

He planned to use divination to determine Wei Yan's life or death. Divination is an ability that belongs to the Sequence Nine Secret Peeping Man, which allows him to use some simple methods to make predictions.

However, this world did not have the astral and spiritual worlds, so his divination was likely to fail.

Wang Xiaoming took out a prepared pure silver bracelet, with a solemn expression, held the silver chain in his left hand, perpendicular to the white paper, closed his eyes, recited silently seven times in his mind, and opened his eyes.

Seeing that the silver chain did not move, Wang Xiaoming repeated it again. This time, he mobilized all his spiritual power. Without the spiritual world or the star world, he used his status to sense the wilderness of knowledge.

After opening his eyes again, Wang Xiaoming finally saw the silver chain swinging clockwise, which indicated his confirmation.

Seeing the divination results,

Wang Xiaoming's expression didn't know how to change for a moment. He was happy about the success of the pendulum divination, but he felt sorry for Wei Yan's passing. He couldn't be absolutely rational as before, and the extra thirty years of memory made him more emotional.

“I’m still too kind!”

However, Wang Xiaoming did not feel too sad. Instead, he got up, packed his things, walked to the golden glass, and looked at the golden coffin.

Wang Xiaoming first tapped his cheek twice as a hint, mobilizing his spiritual power and successfully opening his spiritual vision. However, due to the obstruction of the gold, he could not see what was inside. Only the spiritual power in his body kept reminding him that there was danger inside the gold.

Tapping the cheek was an action he designed to activate his clairvoyance, which would help him use his clairvoyance ability safely and conveniently.

Unable to see the situation through his spiritual vision, Wang Xiaoming tapped his cheek again, slowly restrained his spiritual power, and successfully turned off his spiritual vision.

At this time, he was not able to use his clairvoyance proficiently and still needed some training.

Next, it's time to identify the spell.
He uttered a spell silently, and the identification talisman on his palm immediately emitted a faint bronze light. A glimmer suddenly flashed in Wang Xiaoming's eyes, and he suddenly felt that the world around him had changed.

His vision did not become clearer or blurry, but every time he looked at an object, some strange intuition would always flow in his mind, as if he knew the use of the object by nature. If he wanted to know the material of the object, his mind would also give the answer.

"It's really amazing."

Wang Xiaoming sighed in his heart, this identification technique is very powerful, but there are no supernatural items here now, so it is impossible to test its ability to identify extraordinary items.

With the Appraisal Technique, his research and development would be smoother. He now began to look forward to the moment when he could truly become a Sequence 7 Appraisal Technique Master.

He turned his gaze towards the golden box behind the glass, first obtaining information about the glass containing gold, and then he began to read the information on the golden coffin…'A coffin made of pure gold, which seemed to contain a special extraordinary power'.

Failed? !

He didn't get Wei Yan's message.

However, Wang Xiaoming was not disappointed. He had anticipated this situation. Gold can imprison evil spirits because it is completely sealed and one cannot see what is inside the golden box from the outside.

If we can’t observe the evil spirit, how can we identify it?

After all, his identification ability is already very strong, and it is impossible to give him the ability of perspective. It is normal that he cannot make any identification result through the gold box.

Through the use of identification ability, he has roughly understood this ability. It should be able to analyze things within his field of vision, or read the residual information on things.

As for which one it was, he couldn't understand it at his level. He only knew that the identification technique was indeed very useful.

After the identification spell was over, Wang Xiaoming looked at the time. It was about one minute. He noted the duration of the identification spell.

He did not rush to use the remaining identification spells to go to other laboratories, but returned to the rest area to practice the 'switch' of clairvoyance.

The use of his clairvoyance just now reminded him that if he wanted to use his extraordinary abilities better, he had better master them first.

Because of the dual paths, Wang Xiaoming's spirituality is greater than that of ordinary extraordinary people, which allows him to practice clairvoyance to his heart's content.

When he felt tired, he would open the mechanical books he brought with him. When he felt recovered, he would continue practicing. In this way, Wang Xiaoming quickly mastered the spiritual vision 'switch'.

He could already turn his clairvoyance on and off within two breaths, which was considered quite a talent even in the mysterious world.

After that, Wang Xiaoming devoted himself to the acquisition of new knowledge. He now read the originally boring professional books with gusto, and he could quickly understand almost all the knowledge he read. This was because the universalist potion greatly improved his understanding and learning ability.

This is why Wang Xiaoming believes that the key to digesting potions lies in the acquisition of new knowledge. After all, the abilities best granted by potions are naturally most in line with the rules of acting at this level.
