December 20, Sunday, the sixth day of winter in the Year of Gengzi.

It snowed in Lishan Mountain.

Yangcheng is located in the south of China, so the four seasons are naturally not as distinct as those in the north, but after winter, there are still some changes that should occur.

This year is somewhat different.

The ether that Lin Tuo sprayed into reality nourished Yangcheng and several surrounding cities, thousands of trees rejuvenated, and the rotation of the four seasons was briefly reversed.

But this is ultimately unsustainable. Since the beginning of winter, although the mountains are green, the temperature has become colder. After entering December, the peaks that were originally indigo have also turned yellow visibly to the naked eye.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, it jumps from the green of summer to the yellow and white of winter.

It was the first snow this year, and it slowly fell on the 20th.

"The snow in Mount Li is still too small. Not to mention the Northern and Southern Continents, it is far inferior to the Evernight City of the Moon Sea Continent."

When Lin Tuo was busy in the middle of the night, he stepped out of his study, saw the snow particles in the early morning sky, and sighed in his heart.

On the other hand, Huaxi and Hathaway seemed to be quite happy in the yard. The former was boxing and practicing in the yard early in the morning under the snow.

This person is waving a broom and killing everyone in all directions according to the marksmanship in Huabingquan.

As for Hathaway, she was kicking a ball around in the yard... which made Lin Tuo feel the urge to kick it.

"Teacher, let's have hot pot for lunch." After cleaning the courtyard, Huaxi ran over, raised his head and leaned on the broom and said, "There are still a lot of ingredients I bought last time, enough for a meal."

Although the weather is cold, my face is flushed and heat is radiating from my collar.

Since the past two months, Lin Tuo rarely goes out to eat or buys takeaways. He only takes time to buy some rice, noodles, vegetables and meat for storage. It’s not that it’s troublesome, but it’s okay to eat outside occasionally. After a long time, it’s far away.

It's not as comfortable as making it at home.

Especially after Hua Xi became a cook, her skills improved so much that she made Lin Tuo lazy. He actually had some food to eat, and after hunting down a large group of monsters, the two of them basically used these animal meats as their main ingredients.

I even look down on the “nutritious” food out there.

Hearing this, Lin Tuo nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll do it." Hua Xi received the approval, turned around and walked into the house. Hathaway was about to follow when she was stopped by Lin Tuo:

"You, come with me."

After saying that, he went straight to the study.

After entering the door, his eyes first turned to the Evolution Sand Table. At this moment, the Moon Sea Continent No. 4 was displayed on the sand table.

A giant glistening white tree is located in the center of the continent and is extremely eye-catching.

At a glance, in the cities and villages of the Yue Clan, there are traces of people coming and going.

"Time has slowed down so quickly." Lin Tuo sighed in his heart.

In the past two days, he has been paying attention to the changes in the Moon Sea Continent.

At first, the ratio of time between inside and outside was very large. For ten minutes on the earth, almost a year had passed inside.

But soon, as alchemy spread across the Moon Clan, civilization leapt towards this technological tree, the complexity of the sand table increased, and the ratio of internal and external time began to decrease rapidly.

It's only been a few days, but it's already almost the same.

Through the operation log, he learned that the internal development took about two to three hundred years. With the help of zoom and eagle eye skills, he could see the alchemy communication towers standing on the mainland.

In the town, there are also strange alchemy vehicles and even aircraft.

"It's developing very fast. I don't know to what extent it has reached. Could it be said that alchemy has a greater impact on complexity than the ordinary mechanical industry?"

Lin Tuo was not sure, but he also judged that at this speed, I am afraid that soon the time of the Moon Sea Continent will converge with that of the Earth due to complexity issues.

At that time, he should allocate computing power to the North and South Continents No. 2. You must know that during this period, due to the lack of acceleration, the humans in the North and South Continents have not completely moved out of the shelter...

After thinking about it, the sand table switched to the default "Star Sea" mode...and his eyes fell on the earth.

At this moment, the earth as a whole is still illusory. At a glance, only the three areas under control around Yangcheng, Tucker Oasis, and Pacific Black Box are relatively clear.

Lin Tuo's thoughts changed slightly, the earth turned around, and his eyes fell on the other side of the earth.

Originally, everything here was illusory, but now, within the federal state, there is a small clear area.

That's New York.

It was New York that was "lit up" by Lin Tuo and put into "observation mode"!

Yes, this is also a new discovery he made in the past two days.

For the two products in the mall, the "creation scope" refers to the scope of creating a black box, and the "observation scope" directly lights up some areas, similar to Yangcheng and Wucheng.

Originally, the latter could only take Yangcheng as the core and gradually light up the surrounding cities bordering it.

During the last prayer candle incident, in order to alleviate the impact of the ether, Lin Tuo lit up several cities around Yangcheng in one fell swoop, bringing them into the scope of observation.

After that, he did not continue to expand. Firstly, there was not much demand, and secondly, it was too expensive!

Ten thousand square kilometers under the observation range requires one thousand ether points!

With these thousand points, wouldn't it be good to use them to build a sandbox and even nourish various places?

Therefore, Lin Tuo ignored this function for a long time. It was not until these two days that he paid attention again in order to solve some problems. As a result, he was surprised to find that the observation mode had new changes.

The price is still so expensive, but "lighting up" the map is no longer limited!

After the system was upgraded and turned into a "star sea", he could directly light up any area in the star sea and bring it into the observation range, instead of being as restricted as before.

This gave him some ideas.

It just so happened that during this period, by collecting Sandbox No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, the pitiful ether points in the body were boosted again.

But it's not much, just less than 3,000 points.

After all, only No. 4 is accelerating, and the other two are synchronized with reality. After collecting a wave, you have to wait for it to slowly recover. It is better not to suck too hard.

Lin Tuo gritted his teeth, drew a thousand dots, bought an area of ​​​​10,000 square kilometers, thought about it, and lit up New York and its surroundings!

Firstly, it is to test the function, and secondly, it is also to facilitate the next plan.

Thinking of the plan, Lin Tuo moved his eyes to the desk again.

There was a square, silver-white metal block about ten centimeters high placed on the table at the moment. The surface was covered with fine patterns. This was the result of his hard work over the past two days:

"Alchemy Full Coverage Instrument"

Above the instrument, in the huge card slot, there is a round metal plate full of scratches, with the "Illusion Spell" written inside.

After the two are combined, it becomes a brand-new alchemical instrument, which Lin Tuo named "Xinghai Server"!

Corresponds to the "Huntian Seismometer".

It is the third instrument that will be placed on the edge of the evolution sand table after it and the star gate system.

Its function is also very simple. Once turned on, the "Xinghai Server" will continue to run at low power and release phantom spells within a dozen meters around it.

Anyone in the middle, whether a practitioner or an ordinary person, will usually not experience any abnormality, but once they see the "catalyst" set by Lin Tuo, they will have hallucinations and see specific images.

The effect of this spell is very weak. It is an infinitely weakened version of the "Secret Seal". It has no ability to change people's thoughts and lacks lethality. Its only function is to make people see certain images, and it cannot be too complicated.

As for the "catalyst", Lin Tuo set it as a mobile phone.

In short, as long as the advanced intelligent life within the effect of the spell sees the mobile phone screen light up, it will see a specific image.

He conducted a test last night and confirmed that it can run, but it can be triggered by humans within the control range of the sandbox.

In other words, on Earth, as long as people are in the three areas around Yangcheng, the Oasis, and New York, they will be enveloped by the spell.

Once you leave these three areas, you will not be affected because you are no longer in the observation mode range.

As for the people inside the black box, they will not be affected at the moment.

I'm not sure whether it's because of the "isolation cover" or because there's no "catalyst" in the black box.

In short, everything is ready, all we need is Hathaway.

"What did you call me for?" At this moment, Hathaway also rolled in, and the surface of the crystal ball was still covered with snow, making the floor wet.

Lin Tuo bent down and took it to the table, saying: "As I said two days ago, I will test your ability today."

"Test? Okay, how about a test?" Hathaway's ears perked up upon hearing this, and then added, "By the way, I can tell you that my ability also consumes magic power.

The last time I showed it to you, I spent a lot of money and I didn’t even charge for it. This time I have to pay for it.

I’ll let you test it, but the cost will be borne by you!”

"Don't talk nonsense, as long as you can, the magic power is indispensable to you." Lin Tuo said with a black face, then opened the laptop and controlled the mouse to click on a ppt document.

The above is a designed website page. It is very simple and only has a few pages.

Lin Tuo clicked once in demonstration mode and said:

"Write these down and follow the method I demonstrated. Can you do it?"

"Simple." Hathaway showed a relaxed expression, and then said, "Please demonstrate again, I didn't pay attention just now."

"..." Lin Tuo had no choice but to do it again. After confirming that it had been written down, he opened another video file, "Write down this video as well and insert it into the previous ppt website page according to my requirements later."

"Oh." Hathaway looked curious, but still responded.
To be continued...
