As time went on, many players who chose Psionic Energy as their main skill point allocation area expressed interest in Psionic Energy Formula.
Although there was no explicit apprenticeship process, they still regarded Willow as their teacher in the field of Psionic Energy.
Willow was well aware of this, and would occasionally issue Psionic Energy- related tasks, such as collecting the roots of this plant or the fur of that animal.
When players complete their quests, she also offers helpful tips and answers their questions about studying Psionic Energy.
Willow's thinking was quite good. As a lich, she was one of the people in this world who understood the nature of Psionic Energy the best.
However, she had little experience in teaching and was unable to open classes and recruit disciples like some of the great mages before the Demonic Tide.
Therefore, she attempted to guide the Soul Returner in this way, selecting a group of those with decent talent.
After all, Ed, as the summoner of the Soul Returner, could grasp the core of some of his Psionic Energy manipulation techniques with just a few glances. The Soul Returner, as his summoned creatures, should inherit this advantage to some extent.
However, things didn't go as Willow had imagined.
Even with his guidance, the Soul Returner ' manipulation of Psionic Energy remains very limited. At best, they can only act as a lighter, unable to fully unleash any effective spells.
Willow, of course, didn't know that this was because the players hadn't allocated enough points to Psionic Energy Compatibility; she only thought it was because of her poor teaching, which made her feel immense pressure every time Ed brought it up.
So when she heard Ed's sarcastic remark, she quickly waved her hands in front of her.
"Stop talking, stop talking, I'll go as soon as I'm done here."
To avoid Ed making fun of her again, Willow stayed up all night, concentrating intently, and finally overcame the last hurdle in her new invention.
At dawn, Willow, holding a long staff somewhat similar to her own, excitedly went to Ed to tell him about it.
"Is this what a ' Stability Anchor ' is?"
"That's right, boss. You can check if there are any functional issues. If there are no problems, I'll start mass production."
Ed took the long wooden staff and examined it carefully:
The staff was about the height of an adult, with a single, dimly lit gem at the top, and nothing else about it; it was so simple that it could even be described as rudimentary.
Although it looks like a crudely made, dilapidated staff, Ed knows that it contains all the efforts of Willow's mother and teacher, the great Yiwenni, since the outbreak of the Demonic Tide.
The lich mother and daughter were hunted by the vampire race for decades, firstly because the vampires wanted the liches to become their servants, and secondly because their research was enough to change the status quo of the world.
Shortly after arriving at the Second Holy See, Willow informed Ed of the details of her research, stating that she possessed power that could, to some extent, slow down the Demonic Tide.
However, Yiwenni only completed the core part of the research, and the peripheral parts were not developed before she was hunted down by the Duke of Wens. Therefore, the results at that time were not yet mature.
Over the past few months, Willow has accumulated a wealth of experience in the Territory Secret Pact project, and the final result is the initial version of the Stability Anchor in her hands.
Ed closed his eyes and sensed the internal structure of this new invention, discovering that he couldn't quite understand many of the Psionic Energy Circuit at the moment.
Fortunately, he was a competent client. Although he didn't understand the operating logic of the thing in his hand, at least he could check its functions.
Simply put, a [ Stability Anchor ] is more like a sapling waiting to be propagated; its operation can be roughly divided into two stages—
In the first stage, after being planted in a suitable place to grow, it can slowly Drain Psionic Energy from the surrounding environment and modify the rules of the surroundings according to a predetermined program.
Currently, its internal preset rules are "suitable for plant growth" and "automatically adjust the temperature of the surrounding area" to prevent significant changes in the seasons.
The former stemmed from Ed's friendly sharing, while the latter came from imitating the climate of the Sea of Flowers.
Once this system starts functioning properly, the rules of the wilderness will gradually change in the predetermined direction, eventually transforming it from a " Wilderness of Chaos " into a "less chaotic wilderness."
The reason this research wasn't applied to territories already controlled by the Second Holy See is because " Stability Anchor Technology" currently has limitations in its ability to modify the rules.
It can bring relative order to a more chaotic wilderness, but it cannot make the Second Holy See, which already has a simple order, more regular.
If the standard for maintaining order before the Demonic Tide is set at 10, then the Stability Anchor can only turn a 1-2 point area into a 3-4 point area, but cannot further improve an area that already has a 3-4 point area.
Based on the current performance of the Stability Anchor, it is only necessary to insert one every ten kilometers or so in a suitable environment and perform regular maintenance to keep the corridor between the Sea of Flowers and the Second Holy See unobstructed for a long time.
This is the first stage of the Stability Anchor's operation.
Once the rules of this area have been completely changed, the gem at the top of the Stability Anchor will become a new unclaimed Territory Secret Pact for this small area, which Ed can collect at will.
So essentially, the Stability Anchor is like a pre-made meal specifically designed for Little Green.
Once the Territory Secret Pact on it is removed, the remaining part will continue to grow as plants, eventually becoming a wilderness teleportation anchor point for players to move around in.
Having confirmed that Willow had met all of his requirements as the client, Ed smiled and said he would give her an excellent performance review for the month, then gestured for her to continue with the plan.
Over the next forty-eight hours, the players who chose to join the [Special Mission - Connect the Sea of Flowers ] became the most righteous and kind-hearted group of players since the launch of the game " World of Disorder ".
While others were killing monsters and chopping down trees, they were actually planting trees and creating forests in the game world.
As the inventor of the Stability Anchor, Willow naturally led the players to complete this task herself. Among the more enthusiastic participants, the most eye-catching were players [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] and [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ].
[ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] is one of the players with the highest Psionic Energy Compatibility. As an official spy, his main mission in the game is to become stronger in any reasonable and legal way, then add the new attribute points to Psionic Energy, and constantly try to guide and practice in both the game and the real world.
Seeing that the NPC Psionic Energy mentor Willow had appeared in this quest, he naturally chose to join and get acquainted with her so that he wouldn't be turned away later when he asked her questions due to a lack of trust.
