Illness, old age, and other physical conditions could affect one's psychology. Psychological conditions could also affect one's physiology. There were countless studies on Earth.
The most famous one was telling a criminal who was firmly immobilized to continue to bleed in a place he could not see. However, the sound of water dripping was only simulated by a faucet. The criminal would mistakenly believe that his body was constantly losing blood, and his life would gradually fade away and he would die.
Lin was not at the point where he would die. Although he had died countless times in the dream, his consciousness was still strong. However, in reality, his body was not as strong as his willpower.
Perhaps he had not reenacted the ten thousand ways to die in the dream in reality, but it was inevitable that the torture in the dream would reappear in the real body to some extent.
After discovering his situation in the real world, Lin You wondered if it would be better to hide in the house and not let others see him. However, considering that the house in the mountain village had no privacy to speak of, he still sat cross-legged under the shade of the original tree.
Because he liked this tree for no reason, he also liked to sit under the tree and enjoy the shade. In consideration of the fact that his mood would affect his learning and casting of magic, Lin decided to follow his heart. He sat under the huge tree and began his magic training, which was different from that of ordinary people.
Originally, Lin, who was fighting fiercely in the dream, would twitch like he had epilepsy in reality. At first, the two apprentices would be worried, and the villagers would also be worried about whether they would be paid later. However, after a long time, and many times, everyone was used to it and was not surprised.
The battle in the dream progressed neither slowly nor quickly, but every battle was extremely tragic. In a situation where schemes and tricks did not work, every battle was a competition of skills, foundation, and courage. In a fight, one more step back, one more mistake, could become a fatal reason. These were all forcing someone to constantly improve in order to reduce the number of deaths.
However, what was frustrating was that the situation of improvement was synchronized. Plus, even if the one who died was not the consciousness of the self, he would feel the same pain. However, Lin still did not want to be trampled on, and the other two selves were the same.
Slowing down the pace of the battle also gave Lin more time to observe this dream. As the surface area of the bricks increased, the connected brick walls of the Dream World began to emit a magical glow. Chaotic colors and disorderly dispersal. From time to time, strange substances would appear out of thin air and then disappear. This scene naturally attracted Lin's attention, and he stopped fighting to study the wondrous scene before him.
The multicolored spiritual light fluctuated, looking strange and beautiful, causing people to gasp in admiration. However, as a believer in science and not an artist, the first thing that came to Lin's mind was whether this scene was accompanied by a certain degree of energy leakage. Was there any harm? Would it cause unforeseen effects? And most importantly, would it consume the authority of these magic bricks that he had forged with his own body?
If his last worry came true, then the completion of the tower in his dream would be far in the future. Therefore, the three of them couldn't help but pull themselves together to face the scene before them.
Based on Lin's original thoughts and his experience in reality, Lin's original thoughts were correct. If the magic bricks were stacked on top of each other, there would be no effect or reaction. This was because bricks were only a medium suitable for carrying the power of magic. Most of the materials themselves did not have any magical effects. Just like the cars on Earth, without gasoline, electricity, and other sources of energy, they were just huge blocks of iron.
And to build a magic tower in the Dream World, there was a problem that had not been solved yet, and that was where did the energy come from? This was not like the towers in reality, where one, two, or three energy pools could be built to maintain an endless source of energy for the entire tower.
How would the special materials for building the energy pool be brought into the dream? Or how to turn oneself into a material that could be used to build the energy pool? Moreover, the principle of most energy pools was to connect to another plane and use the difference in the plane's dimension to absorb the energy of the place for one's own use.
However, doing this in one's own dream did not seem too good. It was no different from opening a back door and allowing others to enter and leave one's consciousness.
However, from the looks of the scene before them, these magic bricks in the Dream World had their own energy? Come to think of it, these bricks in the Dream World were originally the bodies that carried their own consciousness. The main reason why they could turn into bricks was because they contained the power of magic and could maintain their own existence in this empty space of the Dream World.
Before Lin Wei found a safe source of energy for this unbuilt magic tower in the Dream World and built a channel for the power of magic, a certain someone had naively thought that there was no need to consider the magic to be set up and the corresponding magic array to be drawn. Because what was being built now was just a static building.
He didn't expect that the magic bricks cast by the power of magic, even if only a small part of them, would show dynamic magic effects. Such a change made him have to plan some things that he would have done in the future ahead of time. Otherwise, if he didn't stop the scene of possible energy leakage, it wouldn't just be a matter of "using it and discarding it."
The battle had come to a complete stop. If these problems were not solved, no matter how many bricks were created, it would be useless. The three of them split up to investigate the possible causes of the matter.
The first thing they noticed was the difference between the bricks. Some bricks could emit more magic light, and some bricks could easily condense elemental substances of different attributes. Some bricks looked no different from other bricks on the surface and didn't even produce any abnormalities. But now that all bricks had extraordinary performance, this ordinariness itself was a kind of abnormality. There were also some bricks that could easily transmit the condition of some bricks to other bricks.
Because the last part of the bricks was built by himself, including the use of the Shaping Spell. So, Lin Wei knew the origin of each brick very well. Therefore, he boldly guessed that the bricks formed by different body parts would have different characteristics.
Those bricks that could transmit characteristics were originally parts of the hands or feet. Because the internal organs contained quite a lot of power, if the entire body was turned into bricks, the bricks would be so large that they wouldn't know how to use them. So, most of them would take out the internal organs and turn them into bricks alone. This process was quite similar to that of a forensic doctor.
And those bricks that could condense trace elements were mostly made of these internal organs. Especially the heart part, the brick made of the heart was the part that emitted the most magic light.
After the internal organs were taken out, the bricks made of the torso were the most ordinary. They were the bricks that didn't show any characteristics. And the bricks made of the head were the most peculiar. They would show the characteristics of the bricks that were made of contact. So, on a single brick, there would be several different performances.
This discovery troubled a certain someone. Different parts of the body could make bricks with different characteristics. In other words, every time he died, he would produce the same number of bricks with different functions. And to use the same ratio of bricks to build a magic tower was as difficult as using a specific set of Lego bricks to build something completely different.
And because the bricks had their own characteristics, the rules of building a tower in this dream were different from the rules in reality. There were more things to consider, and of course, the difficulty would only be higher. But there was no need to consider the overall plan at the moment. The first thing to do was to maintain the balance and not continue to waste the bricks that he made after dying countless times.
While Lin Wei was still thinking, the other two avatars took action first. They took apart the bricks and scattered them. But the magic bricks that had already formed a connection would not be broken just because they were separated. On the contrary, because of this energy, the scattered bricks faintly had a tendency to gather together.
It seemed that simply dispersing the bricks wouldn't cut off the connection that had already been established between the bricks. So, the other option left was to artificially create a closed circuit and limit the transfer of energy within the circuit.
Furthermore, it wasn't as simple as just creating a sealed circuit. Lin Sheng recalled one of the characteristics of his Authority and knew that his understanding of this dream world was still too shallow. This was a part of reality, but it wasn't completely real. This place was full of falsehood, but as long as he believed it from the bottom of his heart, it couldn't be any more real.
The characteristic of the Authority that he had neglected was the perfect ratio of the eight Authorities to maintain a balance in reality.
Although he was in control of everything in the dream, it was still not like when he was in the Tower of the Great Sage, where he had all kinds of detection and observation equipment. So, when inspecting these bricks that had already been made, he mostly judged based on his experience, and not using the correct data obtained by scientific methods.
In this case, every brick came from a different part of the body, and thus had a different ratio of authority. This was a very reasonable thing. After all, the authorities were stored in the body, and due to various factors, there would be some adjustments in the ratio to maintain the balance when there was an imbalance. But after turning into an object, it seemed that it no longer enjoyed such a privilege, and it returned to the original characteristics of various objects.
Not only did he have to complete the closed circuit, but he also had to find a way to maintain the balance of the eight authorities. Moreover, there was no way to detect the data of the eight authorities in each brick in the dream world, so he could only rely on experience to judge. The last item was the bricks with specific characteristics. In fact, there was a limit to the number of bricks, and the number of bricks would maintain a certain ratio.
Such a complicated condition brought about the complexity of the calculation. At the very least, Lin Xiang couldn't see the answer at a glance, or complete all the plans with a snap of his fingers.
In particular, the low wall and floor that were haphazardly built in front of him showed that there were more than just six or seven types. This meant that the combination of bricks with different characteristics would produce different effects. Even the characteristics formed by the different parts were slightly different.
Well, Lin Xiang kind of missed the days when he played with Lego blocks. At least on Earth, there weren't so many conditions and requirements to combine these blocks. The three of them looked at each other, and the original and fat otaku all let out a long sigh. Instead, the chuunibyou incarnation's eyes lit up, and he looked eager to try.
