Chapter 664: Chapter 0664: Curse (Additional Release Asking for Monthly Tickets)
“Lucky me, I didn’t expect to find a little guy with such high Inspiration nearby.”
In the White Space, Su Lu was quite pleased.
After his Shadowcasting Skill had broken through the barrier of the White Space, the signal had become very weak. Only those with ‘strong reception ability’ or high Inspiration could sense some information.
Moreover, his Strength had been weakened to the limit, to the point where he couldn’t even control it, he could only do some subconscious hypnosis.
Su Lu immediately decided to throw out some ‘bait’ to lure others to follow the clues in their dreams, cooperating with him in the outside world to free himself.
“Actually… this Star Devourer Clan body could be completely abandoned, but my whole Spirit wants to break through the White Space, and I can’t do it on my own.”
“What I need most is the external Ritual response… Find more people, put out more bait, and someone is bound to bite.”
…
Morphy has been feeling great lately!
He had a secret, that in his dreams, he would receive a flood of knowledge!
With this Golden Finger, he was no longer the underachiever in his class who, no matter how hard he tried, couldn’t catch up with the other top students.
The tutor’s gaze at him was becoming gentler, and even Ginny, the girl in his class who always looked down on him, had spoken a few words to him.
This made ‘George’, who was also an underachiever, full of jealousy and hatred, accusing him of betraying the organization and friendship of the underachievers.
One day, Morphy was designing a prototype of a Mechanical Power Arm on a piece of draft paper.
“Great… With my current knowledge reserves, I can finally overcome all the difficulties. This is part of the design for my future armor, enough to serve as my graduation work…”
Morphy let out a long breath.
He was planning to apply for early graduation, after all, the tuition at Mechanical high school is quite expensive.
And the school system here is very flexible. As long as you can prove that you have the ability, you can be awarded a graduation certificate, which is very useful when looking for a job.
On the other hand, if you keep failing the ‘Graduation Assessment’, you might end up staying in school forever, becoming a perpetual high school student.
“If the work is impressive enough, I might even get a recommendation letter from a university… that’s where real Mecha operators and mechanics are trained… I’m sure my sister will be pleased when she hears about it.”
From the bottom of his heart, Morphy was grateful for his luck in receiving a knowledge infusion in his dreams.
What he didn’t know was that this knowledge was actually the rudimentary part of the Star Devourer Clan’s outdated technology, carefully enhanced by Su Lu.
“Hey, Morphy, can you help me look at this problem with the conduction device?”
Just then, a blonde, delicate-skinned girl, looking like a doll, came over and asked earnestly.
“Oh, no… no problem!”
The pleasant scent on her golden hair instantly stirred the emotions of the seventeen-year-old boy.
Morphy took over the draft and quickly browsed it: “Mmm… its structure is very simple, there are just a few mistakes, like this second solder point, it should be…”
After explaining, Ginny’s eyes lit up: “You’re amazing… Eh? Is this… your work?”
The girl’s gaze fell on Morphy’s draft paper on his desk.
“Yes… it is, I have named it ‘External Armored Power Arm No.1’…” Morphy said with some pride: “Although it’s nothing compared to a full set of ‘Guyver’, I believe, it’s enough to impress the judges.”
The most famous technology in the Kinsley Kingdom is ‘Bio-mechanics’, the art of truly combining organic life forms with inorganic machinery.
The ‘Guyver’, or full-body armor, that’s created, must have a neural structure connected to the spine. It doesn’t need to be operated manually and can be manipulated directly by thought.
Therefore, its simplified version, ‘prosthetic limbs’, which claimed to be almost the same as real limbs, was the first choice for all disabled people in the three kingdoms. It was popular in all three kingdoms, yielding substantial profits and making a name for the brand.
However, Morphy’s current work is very pure and primitive and does not have a neural connection system.
But considering it’s just a high school student’s work, it’s indeed impressive enough.
“It uses very economical materials, this is wrong… it gave up too much performance.”
Ginny’s blue eyes shimmered: “I think it deserves a better metal, a better transmission belt… Let me help you, I believe, an even better product, can not only impress the judges, but might also earn you a letter of recommendation from a university, along with a substantial scholarship, what do you think?”
Morphy had to admit, at that moment, he was moved.
It was not just about the machine, but also about a teenager’s youth.
…
A month later.
“I was so stupid…”
In the abandoned lumberyard, Morphy was downing a bottle of alcohol he had bought illegally as a minor while crying with red eyes: “Ginny was too enthusiastic… she actually did it for Rand, that idiot who couldn’t graduate after five years at school! All because he has a rich dad…”
“That bitch…”
George patted his best friend’s shoulder: “Let’s file a complaint together…”
“No… If they dare to do this, they must have taken care of everyone, and she took all my original drafts…” Morphy took another big swig of alcohol: “What I’m sad about is not this…”
Just a graduation design is nothing. With the knowledge stored in his brain, he could easily come up with ten or eight similar ones.
What really hurt, was a teenager’s first love.
“Let’s let this matter go, our family backgrounds are too different from theirs…” Morphy shook his head.
“You… sigh… as long as you take it easy.” George also heaved a sigh.
Although his family was a little better off than Morphy’s, it wasn’t by much, or else they wouldn’t end up being friends.
After George left, Morphy took another silent swig of alcohol: “Ginny…”
He muttered under his breath, the veins in his eyes turning even redder: “I swear… I will take revenge!”
Morphy had had his own plans for a while now.
It wouldn’t be wise to clash head-on with them, but he could secretly Curse them!
But this was something he couldn’t even tell his best friend, because it came from his dreams.
Moreover, rituals and curses, no matter in which kingdom, were strictly forbidden acts, and might even attract the Investigators, a group of individuals with scary amounts of power, dedicated to hunting down beasts and dealing with all kinds of strange cases.
“I myself, will solve my own problems.”
With this in mind, Morphy went to a hidden corner of the logging site and pulled out a bag containing the ritual supplies he had bought in several installments.
“Candles, silver is too expensive, use tin instead, and mechanical construction…”
He drew the ritual track on the ground and lit a candle in the corner.
“I… pray to the Star Devourer Clan…”
“Pray for the response of 9927 in the White Space…”
“I pray for the power of 9927, to help me Curse my enemy!”
Under the influence of alcohol, Morphy’s expression gradually became fierce and fanatic: “For this, I am willing to pay any price!”
