Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 613: The Complex Situation of the Seed Bank

”Yes, Seed Bank.”

Seeing my interest, Ninglan Qiuyue hurriedly continued.

”You said that world focused on plant technology, so the Seed Bank of that world also represents the highest crystallization of that civilization’s technology, just like technological products preserved in a museum. And the Seed Bank will also be a precious legacy for the resurgence of this civilization’s technology.”

”Very amazing. You guys actually attach such importance to the technological products of this civilization?”

I said somewhat surprised.

Judging from their attitude of losing interest after learning about the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree and the Plant Network, they shouldn’t value things in this aspect.

Ninglan Qiuyue is actually interested in continuing to understand?

You should know that the technology of this civilization can be perfectly replaced by the technology of the Main World.

”It’s just my personal curiosity. When our City Defense Army exploration team went out, they naturally collected a large number of products from that civilization. After those teaching assistant seniors learned the functions of these things from those refugees, they lost interest in this. I think this is related to the living environment.”

Ninglan Qiuyue sighed and said.

After all, the technological level within Ninglan New City was already very deformed.

After connecting with the Witch Academy, due to its own limitations and infrastructure reasons, the impact of those technological products on Ninglan New City was huge.

And the plant technology of this civilization merged into the Expansion Realm is likewise so.

”Then... have you made a decision? Is Ninglan New City prepared to accept the technological assimilation of the Witch Academy, or accept the revival and utilization of plant technology?”

”Oh? Can’t Ninglan New City walk out a style belonging to itself?”

”Not worth it. Ninglan New City still needs to develop. If it’s purely to prove and protect its own culture, there is absolutely no need to force it without a foundation, ending up matching neither the Witch Academy nor the Expansion Realm. Moreover... Ninglan New City cannot withstand such repeated tossing.”

I said.

”Correct.”

Ninglan Qiuyue naturally understood this logic, and now is the time for her to make a trade-off.

Theoretically, she should hug the Witch Academy’s thick thigh tightly and incorporate those technological systems...

”So have you decided?”

”I... what Ninglan New City contacted first was the technology of the Main World... Just as said just now, our Ninglan New City cannot withstand such tossing...”

”I can tell you a truth. The technology of the Main World has little to do with the Witch Academy. Perhaps you rarely go to the society outside the Witch Academy to take a look, but the technological systems of the Witch Academy are not many. It appears relatively modern because of the Academy Network, but the architecture of the Academy Network... is fundamentally different from the internet outside.”

”What do you mean?”

Hearing my words, Ninglan Qiuyue was also stunned for a moment.

”The technology of the Witch Academy is essentially a pseudo-technological architecture of the Transcendent system. The Academy Network is essentially a Transcendent technique, a Transcendent technique utilizing Earth Vein energy. The technology of the Main World is pure technology, a science and technology utilizing the physical laws of the material world, which has limitations. And plant technology is essentially also a Transcendent technique...”

”So you are advising me to choose plant technology?”

”No, I am helping you recognize some truths and common sense you don’t know, helping you make your own choice. In short, existences that are both Transcendent techniques are at the same level, only differing in the level of technique development. The connection between the two is called technique interoperability, which is an equal relationship. While the relationship between the Academy Network and technological network is unequal; the connection between these two is called a downward compatibility relationship.”

”I understand.”

After listening to what I said, Ninglan Qiuyue pondered for a long time to understand the concept I mentioned.

”Since you understand, I won’t interfere much. I am still very interested in that Seed Bank. Can you talk more about this?”

I asked.

Although I obtained information in this regard from the Great Tree of Knowledge now, this information is definitely not comprehensive.

Those responsible for exploration also cannot record all information completely in the Tree of Knowledge.

Of course, asking Ninglan Qiuyue directly is just to have a reasonable information source for understanding this information.

”Of course.”

Ninglan Qiuyue organized her thoughts and nodded.

In the place where she lives and grows, Ninglan New City, wanting to decide such a major development direction naturally cannot be chosen so rashly.

She can only record the information obtained now well, and then go back to decide carefully.

For a moment, Ninglan Qiuyue looked at the person in front of her.

Although looking like she wouldn’t speak properly, she felt she could obtain quite a lot of useful information from her every time.

Just too much of a riddler, and somewhat self-centered and arrogant, but who let the other party have the capital to be arrogant?

”The Seed Bank was discovered by accident.”

Ninglan Qiuyue waved her hand, and the spell image generated by the Seed of Great Knowledge presented a stereoscopic topographical map.

Countless information was marked on it, marked in great detail.

And the location of Ninglan New City could be seen very clearly.

Another place not far from Ninglan New City was a special mark, exactly that Myriad Connection Main Network Tree, the location of the Calamity Shelter.

”The exploration team is actually divided into two types of teams. One is an exploration team led by a teaching assistant or upper-grade senior leading students to explore outward, and the other is a support team.”

”Generally, a support team is a team composed of several teaching assistants or upper-grade seniors. In most cases, it is a mobile team used to deal with exploration teams losing contact, or information sent back about encountering a large number of mutated beast groups outside with the risk of a beast tide, going to exterminate them.”

Speaking of this, Ninglan Qiuyue also sighed secretly.

Their City Defense Army of Ninglan New City can no longer keep up with the pace in the process of outward exploration, and can only garrison some resource points outside the city now.

Those City Defense Army soldiers holding extraordinary killers are enough to guard resource points from raids by scattered mutated beasts, but in terms of their own strength and ability, they can no longer keep up with exploration squads composed entirely of Transcendent students.

After all, exploring outward requires mobility and massive supplies.

The City Defense Army soldiers are basically ordinary people and don’t have storage equipment yet...

”So, that Seed Bank caused an exploration squad to lose contact, right?”

I asked.

”Yes. Should say not exactly lost contact. The signal of the Academy Network hasn’t covered there yet. They contacted each other using special spells. They were trapped.”

”Trapped? Trapped where? Can’t be the Seed Bank, right?”

I asked curiously.

”Yes, it is the Seed Bank. That Seed Bank is a huge complex of buildings connected together. Putting aside the large amount of seeds stored inside for now, the reason why that complex of buildings attracted the exploration team over is because within that complex of buildings, there is a composite resource area dozens of times larger than the largest resource point discovered so far!”

”No wonder.”

”Moreover, the high concentration of Transcendent energy gathered there has destroyed the equipment for preserving seeds in the Seed Bank. Many seeds have been induced to mutate under Transcendent energy.”

”Are the plants over there aggressive?”

”Aggressiveness is only one aspect. There gathers the infrastructure of a civilization using plants to build a civilization. The eeriness of those plants became even more terrifying under mutation. Moreover, the space there seems very disordered. The entire Seed Bank is like a maze changing at any time.”

”Spatial chaos? Is it the space I understand?”

I frowned and asked.

I don’t remember the plant technology of this civilization being sufficient to touch the spatial level.

But I dared not jump to conclusions so rashly either, but continued to obtain first-hand shared information overlooked by me from the Great Tree of Knowledge.

After all, the existence of space is also very ”fragile,” especially this aspect of material space...

”Yes, it is that chaos on the spatial level.”

Ninglan Qiuyue said.

Since the reality is so, there must be a reason.

However... material space... material...

”Wait, you said that resource point is a composite resource area. Have you understood World Primordial Soil?”

”World Primordial Soil? What is that?”

”Don’t know? ... Alright, doesn’t matter. Change the question. Does that resource area have material aspect Transcendent materials?”

”Material aspect Transcendent materials, this I know. Including very rare...”

”Good, I understand. I’m not interested in specifically what materials there are.”

I interrupted Ninglan Qiuyue’s words.

Since there are Transcendent materials transformed from World Primordial Soil, then the material level makes sense.

There are many things that can affect space, such as Transcendent energy, such as Transcendent matter.

Therefore, material space is very fragile; relying on spell techniques can utilize space.

Must understand that the Three Source Elements of the World are not materials to joke with.

The power of that tiny unstable Transcendent Primordial Crystal sealed in my Book in the Casket is enough to destroy a very large area if erupted.

Otherwise, why do those energy crystal mining areas not have original plants, only regenerated plants after the formation of the mining area?

This is just purely energy level dropping to form another kind of high-energy crystal.

If released completely, the power is simply unimaginable, okay?

And World Primordial Soil is obviously sufficient to affect spatial disorder.

Currently, there is a lot of information in my Great Tree of Knowledge that can support that the disintegration of World Primordial Soil is sufficient to affect material space.

Do not forget that World Primordial Soil is the ”raw material” constituting world matter and material space.

After all, even material space does not exist in the void.

The birth of a world is not only the generation of a material continent, but also the continuous expansion of material space.

To use a metaphor for the spatial maze at that Seed Bank, it is like several independent spaces like the Witch Academy intertwined on Modu.

Just through Ninglan Qiuyue’s description, plus the intelligence they explored and collected shared in the Great Tree of Knowledge, I roughly inferred the situation relying on existing information.

Even if not correct, the gap won’t be too big.

After all, this is one of the most reasonable inferences currently.

If really not working, go for on-site investigation before making inferences.

But no matter what, I have developed a very strong interest in that place.

Whether to see unknown things or needing the plants in those Seed Banks to pave the way for my Plant Network, I have to go see it.

”Did you think of something, Big Sis Xiao Han?”

Seeing my thoughtful look, then seemingly thinking of something, Ninglan Qiuyue asked.

”Yes.”

”Is it about the spatial anomaly at that Seed Bank? Convenient to talk about it?”

”Just some guesses, no solution method. Just roughly guessing it’s related to World Primordial Soil. Won’t reveal more, afraid guessing wrong will bring you preconceived misleading.”

”Alright.”

Ninglan Qiuyue also nodded and didn’t ask further, just noted down the thing World Primordial Soil, to inquire about it later.

”Then... Big Sis Xiao Han, you are going to make a trip to that Seed Bank, right?”

”Going is naturally a must. What, can’t go there now?”

”Naturally can. However, what I want to explain is that dream overlap also broke out there, and there are a large number of Dream Creatures making trouble there. This brings a lot of uncertainty to that maze.”

”So that’s how it is. Are there still people trapped there now?”

I inquired.

”Un, and not just one wave trapped, but five waves of teams.”

Ninglan Qiuyue said with a heavy face.

”Ah? What?”

Hearing this matter, this indeed exceeded my expectations too much.

The information shared by the Seed of Great Knowledge to the Great Tree of Knowledge wasn’t this outrageous!

”This... let Big Sis Xiao Han see a joke. However, among those five waves, only two waves are from our Witch Academy. One team got lost inside first, and another team went to rescue and also got trapped inside. The other three waves are people from those Three Great Academies gathering students from other Transcendent Academies to enter jointly. Originally two waves entered first. After losing contact, another wave entered with our rescue team...”

”So, was such a big matter mentioned to Mentor Elena?”

I frowned and asked.

”Mentioned, but Mentor Elena doesn’t interfere in this matter... She let us solve it ourselves. Our Witch Academy’s second rescue team is already on the way.”

”So that’s how it is.”

Isn’t this just sending them in one by one?

However, I didn’t say this sentence directly.

But since it’s a predicament on the material spatial level, it shouldn’t trap those mastering spatial spells.

After all, generally upper-grade seniors and teaching assistants should be able to get this kind of Spatial Teleportation Spell.

So many teleportation landmarks in the Witch Academy can explain that Teleportation Spells are not rare in the Witch Academy.

”So... Big Sis Xiao Han, are you still going? But I think that place shouldn’t trap you.”

”Of course going to take a look.”

I said confidently.

Anyway, my matters are not urgent now.

Originally thought of going to plant trees all over the Expansion Realm, but now... naturally, plans can’t keep up with changes.

After confirming this itinerary planning, I wasn’t that anxious anymore.

The goal of returning to Ninglan New City was also clarified.

Planting trees all over the world is a long-term task.

How big is the repaired Expansion Realm?

Even if I can confirm spatial coordinates through the root network of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree for teleportation, it will take a long time.

But the current Myriad Connection Main Network Tree still cannot cover the entire Expansion Realm, so the journey ahead still needs me to pioneer myself.

This is like unlocking teleportation waypoints in a game, while I am planting Myriad Connection Main Network Trees.

Planting the Main Network Tree, roots spreading, can ”unlock” a piece of land.

Then I can obtain spatial coordinates through the root network combined with Earth Vein information, relying on Teleportation Spells to teleport.

This is a usage method different from placing teleportation markers in advance.

Teleportation doesn’t have a rigid demand for teleportation markers, but without teleportation markers for anchoring, who knows if long-distance teleportation will teleport into soil or walls?

Everything naturally considers safety.

After chatting about topics regarding the Seed Bank, Ninglan Qiuyue also mentioned some other things to me, but not very important.

Finally, I proposed leaving first, which considered ending the chat between us two.

Ninglan Qiuyue returned to her busy official duties again, while I was about to step onto a journey full of unknowns.
