Nowadays, there were too many shameless people to count … Wang Ling was already used to them. For example, Dean Shadow Fool, who had stolen Father Wang's song a few days ago. Wang Ling heard that this guy was already half-dead. Father Wang hadn't chosen to directly kill him, but had instead chosen to thoroughly ruin his reputation by boiling him like a frog in warm water.
In the magic circle, original and derivative spells, as well as plagiarized and stolen spells, had always been the focus of attention. Take the "cultivation forum" run by Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal as an example; every day, there would be a large number of posts asking for help in identifying similar spells.
The most difficult part of an original spell was the theory of operation. Once you had the theory, you had to go through step-by-step experiments to turn the theory into a feasible operating formula. The birth of an original spell could take a cultivator hundreds or even thousands of years of hard work. Of course, there were some exceptionally talented people who could complete their research in decades, but in the end, they were in the minority.
After the original spell was completed, they could submit an application to the cultivation skills library on Huaxiu Alliance's official website for the copyright of the original spell to protect their rights and interests.
After this step, the creator of the original cultivation method would be able to obtain subsequent profits through the cultivator's skill stores on the internet, which Buttface had logged on to before, in the form of authorization sharing.
As for derivative spells, all derivative spells were modified based on the basic operation theory of one or more spells. This time, they needed to complete the sure-kill spell design, which was a derivative spell.
In terms of copyright, as long as the derivative spell was completed, the source of the original spell, its operating theory, and its creator were clearly stated, and it wasn't sold commercially, then it wouldn't constitute infringement.
However, there were some people in the magic circle who liked to plagiarize and steal, branding themselves as original spell sorcerers, and swindling people everywhere.
Wang Ling felt that there were more and more spell copyright disputes nowadays, and a large part of the reason had to do with modern cultivators' utilitarianism.
Nowadays, there were fewer and fewer cultivators who were willing to devote themselves to studying spells, and many cultivators were starting to become impatient. In today's relatively peaceful cultivation era, without the clamor and killing of various clans and schools of thought contending for supremacy, more and more cultivators were obsessed with creating wealth, to the extent that they didn't hesitate to use some rather dirty methods.
As for the identification of those who plagiarized original spells, it was also a big problem at the moment … because there were still too few professional magic infringement identification experts, and the relevant system was not perfect.
Actually, Wang Ling had noticed this a long time ago, but he hadn't been able to solve this problem very well.
But in recent years, the anti-plagiarism trend among cultivators had become more and more prevalent …
In reality, all spells were derived from the Three Thousand Great Daos.
In the eyes of some people, the high-grade magic spells that they covet like ducks might only be a small branch of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
But Wang Ling wasn't in the mood to expose this, because even if he did, there might not be anyone who would listen.
He could say it, but there was no need …
When school ended in the afternoon, a few boys in the class took out their phones and created a discussion group. This group was used to discuss the design of killing moves.
On the one hand, they had been living and studying together for half a semester, so they were quite familiar with each other's situations. On the other hand, in some sense, if you weren't a particularly talented person when it came to spell design in high school, it was more scientific and efficient to find someone to discuss it in a group.
While Dopey Guo, Super Chen and Little Peanut were creating the group, Dopey Guo turned his gaze to Wang Ling. "Wang Ling, what are you spacing out for? Join the group! "
"…"
After thinking for a bit, Wang Ling still took out his phone.
He couldn't help it; this was a result of the environment. If he didn't join the group and completed the spell on his own, he would most likely become the center of attention again.
But to be honest, although Wang Ling had a lot to choose from, he really hadn't thought of a spell that was suitable for him … At the moment, he just had a general direction, and it would be best to use the most unconventional metal spell as his main line of thought.
And so, Wang Ling joined the group …
He was quite curious to know what constructive suggestions this group had.
Dopey Guo's train of thought was very clear. Gripping his phone, he looked as if he had foreseen everything. "Here's the specific plan: everyone can add the attribute of their spirit root in front of their nicknames in the group. It doesn't matter if you don't know what your spirit root is; in any case, the school will do a test in a few days."
"And then?" asked Little Peanut.
Dopey Guo said with a straight face, "Draw lots!"
Wang Ling understood. This was how they would draw lots to determine the order in which they would study the spells. Brainstorming would help one person complete the general design of a sure-kill technique first, and then help the next person perfect it according to the sequence … it was actually pretty fair!
Saying this, Dopey Guo opened a lottery software, and each time he clicked on it, a random number would be drawn from 1 to 4.
The first person to draw lots was Little Peanut, who drew a 4.
Dopey Guo was number 2.
Super Chen was number 3 …
Hm … the first person to draw lots was Wang Ling.
Wang Ling: "…"
"Alright, Wang Ling is first, everyone help Wang Ling think first," said Dopey Guo.
To be honest, Super Chen was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Wang Ling's spirit root to actually be the relatively conservative metal attribute. How did the saying go … silence is gold?
Little Peanut lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Generally speaking, spells that are more compatible with the metal attribute can use fire as a secondary spell. Student Wang Ling can choose a metal spell as his primary spell, and combine it with a fire spell as a secondary spell to combine the two spells. "
Dopey Guo: "But it feels like there aren't many choices for the metal attribute as his main spell. The main thing is that we don't know what metal spells Wang Ling has mastered yet."
"There's no rush." Super Chen had a different opinion. "Even if Wang Ling doesn't know them, he can learn them now. We're still at the design stage, and it's still early for the official Grade Two assessment. There's still a long time to get used to it! "
"That's true!" Dopey Guo nodded. "How about this, let's check it out! My uncle's company has developed software that can match the most compatible spells from the skill library. "
Wang Ling listened very carefully to their analysis, and when he saw Dopey Guo open the matching software, he also leaned over.
After inputting data on his height, weight, realm, attribute of his spirit root, as well as his daily personality and other aspects, the software automatically recommended the following skills …
Grade two spell "Free Golden Monkey": A metal-type enhancement spell that focuses on strengthening the limbs and turns them into a golden monkey. When used, speed and agility will be greatly increased, making it easy to escape! — (From Journey to the West: Conquering the Magic Scroll)
Grade two spell "Canopy Metal Shattering Roar": A metal-type sound wave spell that uses the strengthened vocal cords to release a powerful roar that can shatter metal and split rocks. It causes a temporary dizziness, making it easy to escape! — (From Journey to the West: Conquering the Magic Scroll)
Super Chen shook his head when he saw this. "That won't do! Wang Ling usually doesn't speak … "
Wang Ling: "…"
Dopey Guo: "Don't worry, keep reading! There's also a secondary fire spell! Furthermore, if you combine these three spells, it might not necessarily be a sound wave spell! "
Wang Ling replied with a "mm" and continued to read …
The third recommended spell: Grade one spell "Blazing Sky": A fire-type obstacle spell that uses spirit qi as a medium to ignite the air to create a huge amount of smoke, which is used for escaping! — (From Zhurong Spirit Scroll)
Wang Ling: "…"
Little Peanut: "Why are they all about escaping?"
"This is the limitation of metal-type spells. Metal-type spells are mostly defensive spells." Dopey Guo sighed.
"Mm!" Super Chen nodded. "But I feel that after combining them, the name will sound pretty good!"
"What's it called?"
"'Blazing Sky Playing with Pigs and Monkeys'!"
