nChapter 80: Don’t Think I Can’t Recognize You With A Vest On!

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nWhat was a restriction?

nIt was a kind of limiting ability.

nIt was originally the ability of Elementalists. One could cause a certain limiting effect with the use of energy.

nHowever, as requirements increased, simple energy restriction abilities were unable to meet the requirement. Therefore, many restrictions began to transform.

nFor example—

nThe combination of the energy and physical aspects!

nSome people would use the restrictions on stones, humans or all kinds of weapons. Therefore, there were all sorts of legends.

nIf one had seven stones, it would summon xx…

nIf one sacrificed blood, one could have xx…

nIf one put together a few divine weapons, one would be able to open xx…

n…

nAll of these were related to restrictions.

nThose stones, blood, divine weapons were the key factors. As for card-related restrictions, they were a type of restriction as well.

nLoading…

nSealing…

nEmbedding…

n“I have a lot to learn.”

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nHis sister gave him all kinds of books, Lu Ming scanned through them and realized that he needed to work from the most basic level one Restriction Card.

nRestrictions were like a separate extracurricular discipline.

nIf he wanted to master it, he had to start from scratch.

nWhat was a restriction?

nIt could go beyond the card to set restrictions on any place.

nFor example—

nThe door in front of him.

nLu Ming released a level one Restriction Card.

nThe restriction would be invisible, but once someone touched it, they would notice a faint ring of light on the front door. It was like the instance dungeon portal in the games that he used to play in his previous life.

nLu Ming touched it and bounced back.

nThis was a level one restriction.

nHow could he crack it?

nIt was very simple.

nFirstly, make use of cracking knowledge to dissipate the restrictions.

nIn a way, encryption and restrictions were similar. One sealed the lines on the card while the other limited things in the world.

nHowever…

nTheir way of cracking was very different.

nEncryption usually consisted of a core algorithm or several core algorithms. One only needed to find the corresponding cracking algorithm to crack the encryption!

nWhat about restrictions?

nDue to its uniqueness, there was no stability required!

nTherefore…

nA restriction usually consisted of numerous algorithms!

nThere was no core algorithm at all!

nA restriction had hundreds of lines and there might be hundreds of algorithms!

nSo, the learning progress of restriction made it such that if one wanted to master level two restrictions, one had to learn all the algorithms of level one restrictions!

n“Ss——”

nLu Ming gasped a breath of cold air.

nH-humanities?!

nAs someone from the science course, what he found most annoying was memorizing the materials!

nBut now…

nLu Ming took a look at the number of algorithms that he had to learn for restrictions and felt a numbing sensation in his scalp.

nCrap!

nHe understood now.

nThe main part about encryption was the core algorithm. It was mainly by deduction. Even if you were familiar with the algorithm, you could only get the answer through calculation!

nThis was a mathematics question!

nThis was encryption!

nAs for restrictions…

nThe algorithm was not difficult, in fact, it was very simple. It was just that there was a lot that one had to remember and one had to use the appropriate way to unlock them.

nDamn!

nThis was the humanities!

nDon’t think I can’t recognize you with a vest on!

nDamn, he had transmigrated and he still could not escape from Marx’s sanctions!

n“There are thousand-odd restrictions in level one…

nLevel two…”

nLu Ming glanced at it and sunk into despair.

nHe had to memorize all of them by heart!

nHow long would it take?

nOf course.

nRemembering them was just the basic stage. When he needed to crack the restrictions, he would have to draw the cards. That was the most difficult part. But for Lu Ming, drawing the cards was not a problem!

nThe only problem was with the foundation…

n“Let’s look at the second method to crack restrictions.”

nLu Ming looked at the second method.

nIt was to use powerful energy to crack it by force.

nRestrictions were produced by energy and had their limits!

nIt was different from encryption. If the encryption was destroyed, the card would be damaged. Therefore cracking encryptions was a sophisticated task. What about restrictions?

nIf the restriction was broken, entrance would be allowed.

nOf course.

nIn general, the restrictions could recover energy slowly. However, if one launched a very powerful attack that was beyond its limits…

nBoom!

nThe restriction would collapse!

nThis was the common practice for many cultivators.

nUh…

nLu Ming turned silent.

nAs a two-star Card Creator, this seemed to have nothing to do with him?

n“So…

nI have to memorize all of them by heart?”

nLu Ming rubbed his head.

nThis was only the basic knowledge of restrictions!

nThis only formed one part of it!

n“This is a headache.”

nLu Ming rubbed his head.

nIt was not that he was unwilling to memorize them, but rather it was too much to memorize!

nThere were thousands of algorithms. If he had to familiarize himself with them, he would have to memorize each of them and to apply them so as to master them.

nThe time spent…

nLu Ming’s scalp felt numb at the thought of it.

nHe could increase his energy level by creating cards!

nBut if he was occupied with this, Lu Ming would make no improvements at all in this one month!

nWhat to do?

nLearn!

nLu Ming gritted his teeth.

nHe knew that legacy was very powerful!

nEspecially—

nHe had searched through all kinds of information on the internet.

nBasically, everyone who went into the legacy would gain huge improvements! Even if they served as support and were not the main leader, it would be very beneficial to them!

nThe deeper one went, the more one would gain!

n“Let’s consider it as an investment.”

nLu Ming was determined.

nEven if he concentrated on cultivation for one month, he might not be able to improve his energy level by a lot. After the four-star Charging Card was depleted, he would be left with no resources.

nDid it have any significance for the legacy?

nNo!

nBut if he knew more about restrictions…

nLu Ming had a realization in his heart.

nThe more he learned about restrictions in this one month, the more he would gain from the Lunar Shadow legacy!

nThis was what he should do.

n“I should focus all my energy on learning restrictions this month.”

nLu Ming made his decision.

nHowever, he must learn it the clever way!

nHe decided to check if there were other better methods!

n“I will work from the cards first.”

nLu Ming realized something.

nHe purchased the design plan of the first basic Restriction Card.

nWell…

nIt was very simple.

nGiven Lu Ming’s card creation skills, he mastered it without any difficulty. He consumed a lot of resources to deepen his understanding of the restriction.

nAfterward…

nIntegrate the cards!

nHe wanted to know if there would be any new changes after he integrated the Restriction Card.

nShush!

nSeven Restriction Cards were integrated.

nBuzz—

nThe card surface changed.

nThe front side…

nThe single circular barrier that looked like an entrance resembled a spider web, with a hint of fluorescence and a sense of mystery.

nThe back…

nThe lines had changed.

nThe original simple basic lines had become complex. However, Lu Ming did not see any difficult core techniques. There were only fixed technique lines.

nHe tried to create the card.

nTest.

nDing—

n——

nCard Type: Restriction Card

nCard Level: one-star

n——

nSwoosh!

nLu Ming released it toward his bedroom door.

nBuzz—

nFaint fluorescent lights appeared.

nThere was a restriction that was covered by a blinking cross grid on the bedroom, adding a sense of mystery to it. Lu Ming tried to crack it but to no avail!

nThe restriction was very strong!

nIt was at the highest limit of a one-star level!

nNo!

nIt might be even higher.

nLu Ming was certain.

nHowever, it could not help in cracking it!

nLu Ming studied the lines carefully. He tried to look at it from the opposite way and the usual way. But he only managed to slightly optimize the level one restriction.

nTrue enough.

nLu Ming was disappointed.

nCracking…

nWas that what everybody else did?

nLu Ming remembered that his school also had some classes on restrictions.

n“Xiaopang.”

n“Do you know anyone who studied restrictions?”

nLu Ming made a phone call to Zhang Xiaopang.

n“I do.”

nZhang Xiaopang said, “We have all kinds of vocations in our school.”

nLu Ming was speechless.

nWhy did this sound weird?

n“How is their cultivation progress?” Lu Ming asked.

n“Let me check.”

nZhang Xiaopang called back after a while. “I have checked, in general, the students have reached level one. At present, the person who is most skilled is a year four student. The student has studied it for four years and has passed the ‘Level Two Restriction Professional Certification Exam’.”

nLu Ming was speechless.

nPeople could get certifications for this?

nMany students sat for exams and received certifications as their jobs required it. Lu Ming did not care about it at all.

nHowever…

nA Year four student!

nHad just passed level two!

nAnd the student was considered the fastest learner!

nThis type of learning had nothing to do with talents!

nLu Ming’s heart sank.

nHe did not think that he was smarter than thousands of other students. He had to admit that one had to spend a lot of time on the study of restrictions!

n“This won’t do.”

nLu Ming rubbed his head.

nAlthough Lu Yan’s intention was for him to see the world, Lu Ming had different opinions. He could not waste such a good opportunity.

nHe had to gain from the legacy this time!

nBefore that, he hoped to become stronger!

nBut now…

nHe did not seem to have other methods.

nWere there other quicker ways?

nOf course, there were!

nThere were some potions that could enhance one’s memory within a short period of time, such that one remembered everything that one had seen. However, the price and the side effects were too shocking.

n—Snow Medicine: improve thinking skills, lasts for one hour. Side effects: slip into a temporary state of mental weakness within seven days.

n—Huge Walnut Medicine: improve brain functions, lasts for half a day. Side effects: memory loss when the medicine is no longer effective.

n—Te Luo Bi Medicine: greatly improves memory, lasts for a day. Side effects: Total hair loss.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nIn his previous life…

nAs a programmer who worked like a dog, performing testing and maintenance for a certain novel website, he had the honor to look at the chat history of those legendary authors…

nAll they talked about was health, hair transplant, ways to strengthen their waists and more.

nIt was so pathetic.

nThey were in a much more miserable state than the programmers who worked like dogs!

nThis was the result of overtaxing the brain!

nThese medicines…

nHe supposed that they would have such side effects.

nLu Ming took a closer look, he dared not use these potions. It was not easy to have hair in this life, he did not wish to suffer from hair loss!

nAll the medicine would drain and hurt his body!

nIt was meaningless.

nWell…

nHe had to think of other methods.

nLu Ming rubbed his head, pulling at his fairly thick hair.

nFortunately…

nHe still had his hair.
