The people in the caravan worked from afternoon until evening to unload the goods from the carriages. Seeing that everyone was a bit tired, Green told them to rest first and continue cleaning the next day.
Green arrived at the top floor of the manor villa, chased everyone down, and instructed them not to come back up unless he came out himself. He then locked all the doors and windows. He sat on the bed, holding his breath and calming himself. When he felt ready, Green retrieved the records from his chip.
[The chip, instilling meditation techniques.]
[Main instructions received; initiating indoctrination.]
[Basic meditation method detected, carrying special information. Receiving this information may cause unknown harm to the brain. Continue?]
[Continue to indoctrinate]
With the introduction of the meditation method, Green began to meditate according to the steps of the meditation method.
The meditation method from the White House Academy is very simple: by meditating on special runes, one can gain an amplification of mental power.
These runes, named Basic Runes by the White House Academy, are a collective, special three-dimensional cubic structure with an exceptionally complex structure. During meditation, the meditator constructs the basic structure of this rune in their brain. Once a rune is constructed, it becomes fixed in the person's brain.
The reason a quiet environment is required during the apprenticeship is that rune construction cannot withstand external interference. Even slight disturbances or a lapse in concentration can easily cause rune construction to fail. If prepared, the collapse of a rune will not have a significant impact. However, if it is disrupted by external forces or mental distraction, the collapse of a rune can lead to damage to one's mental strength.
However, unlike others, who typically spend dozens of days studying books to understand the structure of a rune before they can construct it in their minds, Green is completely different. The chip has already analyzed the runes, and Green only needs to follow the chip's prompts to construct the runes in his mind.
As the chip transmitted the data, the template for the first rune was sent into Green's brain. A simple "I" shape appeared in Green's eyes. On the surface of this "I" shape were countless complex patterns and three-dimensional images. After looking at this pattern for a while, Green even felt dizzy.
Green slowly closed his eyes.
In his mind, Green was constructing his first rune, following the instructions from the chip.
Unaware that as the runes were being constructed, an invisible energy in the air was being drawn into Green's body. A rune slowly took shape in Green's mind.
The clock in the room ticked away, and it was 3 a.m. Green's tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly, his jaw tightened, and his eyebrows furrowed, but then relaxed again, as if he were enduring something.
Time passed, and a sliver of morning light shone slowly onto Green's face through the crack in the sealed window of the closed room.
Green's eyelids seemed to be startled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"It's not what I imagined; meditation is so tiring." After meditating all night, Green's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt like his brain was about to explode.
In Green's understanding, meditation should be a relatively easy thing, but he didn't expect it to be similar to combat. When constructing runes in his mind, he experienced a strong sense of dizziness. For a period of time, Green felt like he was experiencing motion sickness in his past life, with the whole world spinning around him. Moreover, as the progress of the runes increased, this dizziness continued to intensify.
"Fortunately, the first rune has been solidified, so things will be a bit easier from now on." According to the basic meditation manual, once the rune is constructed and solidified, continuing to meditate on it will significantly reduce dizziness. However, the effect is slightly less pronounced than continuously constructing new runes. Later, as more runes are solidified, one can even restore mental energy through the existing runes.
[Chip, check my physical condition!]
[Ding, health status check in progress]
[Increased mental activity, heightened brain cell activity, and a state of heightened alertness throughout the body's cells!]
[Warning: Unknown energy has entered the body, causing subtle changes in brain cell structure. Continued contact will have unpredictable effects.]
[Ding! The activity level of the Life Seed has increased. Unknown energy has combined with the energy transformed from the Life Seed within the body, resulting in an overall increase in the main body's physique and gene limit. The energy enhancement state has disappeared, and the mental strength attribute has increased. Specific attributes are as follows.]
[Strength: 5.4]
[Speed: 5.1]
[Constitution: 5.4]
[Mental Strength: 3.2]
[Special Status: Life Seeds respiration accelerates, activation increases]
[Gene cap: 5.5 for all attributes]
Green looked at his mental energy. Generally, the mental energy value for completing a rune solidification should be 1. However, through cultivating breathing techniques, Green's life essence had changed to some extent, and his mental energy had continuously improved, giving him a more solid foundation. This was also the reason why Green was able to complete rune solidification on his first meditation. Green already had a larger bucket, so filling it with less water was naturally very simple.
"It's a pity that the Basic Meditation Method only contains content about meditation and doesn't provide any basic spells. Otherwise, I could have learned witchcraft earlier when I became a third-class apprentice." Green looked at the Basic Meditation Method, shook his head, and said with regret.
In the basic meditation method, each completed rune solidification is considered to result in a slight increase in mental strength. According to the basic meditation method, third-class apprentices need to solidify 6 runes, second-class apprentices need to solidify 12, and first-class apprentices need to solidify 18.
"However, the first meditation session went very well; there was virtually no lag. My talent must be pretty good." Green obtained the basic meditation technique because of the chip's powerful analytical capabilities, not because of his talent. However, according to the introduction of the basic meditation technique, his talent should be around level two or three, which is already considered above average.
"It's time to take a break. According to the instructions for meditation, you must rest well after each meditation session to avoid putting a burden on your body."
Looking at the window that was already showing the morning light, Green ultimately ignored it, took off his coat, lay down on the bed, relaxed his mind, and entered a deep sleep.
