Chapter 457: Chapter 457

After ten minutes, watching the pitch-black command line interface flickering, Li Qing forced himself to suppress the urge to cheer and awkwardly typed out command line instructions.

After all, their company’s server infrastructure used the Windows system. Although he had self-taught the basic operations of the Linux system, if it’s not used at work, over time, most command line code instructions would be forgotten.

However, with the brain that had learned meditation, which could now be described as having a photographic memory and the ability to infer other things, regaining his old proficiency was much easier.

Just half an hour and Li Qing had a cacophony ringing in his mind.

"Alright, next is setting up a database..."

It’s the same; just set up MySQL, this open-source database, and proceed with loading installation according to the steps. By the time everything was installed smoothly, two hours had passed.

Li Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Sometimes it’s just weird how despite following the correct operational steps, errors are still prompted, causing him to search the web multiple times to solve them.

Next was opening Python (one of the coding methods used by programmers) to write a program. Already prepared in advance, he was really eager to start. Previously, the logic inside was so overwhelming that it caused hair loss, thus avoiding development. Now with this brain, it seemed light and easy.

For four days straight, Li Qing holed up in his rented apartment surrounded by boxes of instant noodles, unperturbed by the outside world’s New Year vibes, and finally completed writing his first simplest program.

Watching his program run in the pitch-black command line, Li Qing felt a pain in his liver. The first program he wrote caused countless errors. Thankfully, he was just crafting something similar to a plugin, so as long as it could mount and run the data structure, there was plenty of reference material online.

Just like a game’s mod plugin (roughly like putting makeup on an unremarkable face, then transforming it glamorously), what Li Qing was doing now was very similar. It’s just that it had to recognize the three-dimensional spatial coordinates functionality when casting magic. Fortunately, such a three-dimensional positioning code module had source code online. After spending twenty bucks downloading the module, modifying the bugs, and adjusting accordingly...

It was incredibly tough!

Even though many modules needed for functionality were available online, actually debugging and modifying them into your own requirement was no small task, especially when rectifying them according to your own needs.

Li Qing was beginning to understand why programmers always appear murderous, sharpening their knives when project managers proposed requirements.

Especially when their biological company proposed various demands to a software company, the software company, as the subcontractor, didn’t seem particularly happy.

He could kind of empathize with them now.

Over the next three days, Li Qing finally corrected this mod plugin and successfully connected it to the database.

Li Qing stretched his body, glanced at his disheveled self in the mirror, the scruffy beard somewhat obscuring his handsome face.

Quickly tidying up the room, a brisk shower in the bathroom later, Li Qing finally went out, sitting at Taikoo Li’s street corner again in the evening.

After the New Year, most shops started opening around the seventh or eighth, drawing both tourists and professional street photographers, gradually turning the place lively and bustling.

The big red lanterns remained hanging high on the streets, with neon lights everywhere, and laughter resounding continuously.

Although spring had arrived, it was still cold at night. Li Qing wrapped his coat tightly, holding a freshly bought cup of hot tea, and took a sip.

He focused his attention on the mounted device within his mind, then continued inputting magic power coordinate nodes and the cycle mode of magic power flow, intensity, and frequency.

Once everything was complete, activation was the next step.

Li Qing repeatedly confirmed, ensuring no errors before slowly clicking confirm.

A muffled sound suddenly rang out, and someone nearby exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, man, your head exploded!"

Feeling dizzy, Li Qing touched his head, sensing some scorching heat.

He wiped his hand across his face, finding it ashen gray like he’d fallen into a coal pile.

"Is this called exploding? It’s just a firecracker! It just failed to go off right!"

Li Qing patted his behind and walked away; he realized there was an issue with the function mounting—it didn’t react real-time with his body.

An interface was needed to connect the system with the body.

Back home, Li Qing pondered over how to create this interface between the system and the human body.

How to detect his own nerves, capture his electrical signals to complete these operations?

After pondering deeply and conducting several tests, Li Qing realized his thought process was flawed.

The method was wrong.

The system was already inside the body; there was no need to create an interface. It just couldn’t be synchronously integrated.

You need to activate it yourself.

Yes, when loading these magical powers, a circular confirmation needs to be done. Each time magic is released, it needs to be loaded once.

The otherwise simple loop only requires a specific judgment node added.

For now, it seems quite simple for this roughly assembled mod.

It’s something at his skill level he can utilize.

Activating ’Mage’s Hand’ mounted onto it once more, after judgment, Li Qing slightly willed it, two transparent mage hands silently floated on either side of him.

Success!!! The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novęlfire.net

A heart full of joy, Li Qing waved the mage hands, continuously tidying up the somewhat messy room.

Then, full of enthusiasm, he immersed himself in the mounting research. With this magic simulation module, while modifying magic power nodes, his head wouldn’t explode.

Entering the safe house within Gray, and confirming his system still had no issues, Li Qing wasted no time in plunging into his research. Based on previous calculus derivations and three-dimensional coordinate quadrant confirmations, this Mage’s Hand spell was quite crude.

Though there were merely a dozen or so magic power nodes, Li Qing believed it could indeed be significantly streamlined.

At least after two hours, after removing two nodes, the Mage’s Hand cast not only didn’t lose its power but instead became stronger.

Three days later, Li Qing looked exhausted yet gratified as he gazed at the two fan-like large transparent hands manipulated in front of him, capable of changing size with his thoughts. Once opening magic power output, they could even expand to a three-meter size at maximum. Despite barely sustaining the extreme state for long, such an efficiently simplified magic power node was more than adequate for him to squander for an hour.

"I have a fairy wand, to be big, to be small, to be beautiful..."
