This Lord is Very Scientific

A river flows across.

Lin Ke's team gathered their food supply and started their journey along the Tobis River.

At the moment, Lin Ke is discussing his skill issues with Ove.

His body had fully recovered at the beginning of the year, and he could now use skills.

However, his profession levels were not as high as others', they were rather low.

Main professions: Level 10 [Knight], Level 10 [Scholar], Level 10 [Leader], Level 6 [Scientist], and Level 6 [Inventor]

Additional professions include a heap of others, such as [Painter], [Author], [Advisor], etc.

This was Ove's advice to him.

Often, levels don't mean everything!

As someone who had read many novels in his previous life, Lin Ke naturally understood this, so he gradually refined his somewhat hollow foundation, instead of pursuing level changes.

In the end, none of his highest levels exceeded Level 10.

Now, he needs to construct his skills.

He hasn't finalized the skills for his main professions, previously due to his body not recovering he couldn't construct them; now that he's recovered, he often discusses with Ove.

"...Therefore, teacher, I think I can start with wind force, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics," Lin Ke was still troubled.

His first skill slot was pressure. After using the Staff of Annihilation, witnessing the terrifying deep-sea pressure attack of the Ancient Fishman Emperor, he didn't want to abandon this pressure skill but instead enhance it.

Moreover, Lin Ke knew the destructive power caused by thermodynamics could be vast; nuclear bombs, the crystallization of technology from his previous life, exploded with incredible force.

Certainly, many forces are strong in the end, but the most crucial is what Rica told Lin Ke, that borrowing the power of the Gula Royal Family makes it easier to break through to Dominator.

Dominator!

Dominator Level exists beyond Level 28!

Though far from Lin Ke's reach, it's possible to imagine it, isn't it?

And it's well known, glowing objects must produce heat, but heated ones don't necessarily glow.

Glowing objects will heat in a physical sense.

Light and heat complement each other, so both optics and thermodynamics are within Lin Ke's consideration.

As for electromagnetism, it is also a potent force, conveniently an area Ove excels in.

"I think your idea is solid, I agree," Ove said while walking beside Lin Ke, chatting: "Regarding mechanics, you can construct skills for [Knight], but for your [Inventor] and [Scientist], have you thought of which skills to construct?"

As he spoke, Ove patted Lin Ke's shoulder: "If you really can't figure it out, we can go to the Abyss and buy some skill circuits to learn and construct."

Skills can be bought!

Just like the magic spells and immortal methods Lin Ke read in his previous life, skills here can be bought and sold, for example, Ove bought skills from the Gula Royal Family.

Yet, Ove was poor at the time; Lin Ke now has money but wants to construct himself for the best fit, so he didn't buy.

"Sure, buying for reference is fine," Lin Ke did not refuse, as there's plenty of money now.

Moreover, purchased skills aren't entirely useless; often, having more skills is convenient, though not as effortless or powerful as skill slot skills.

"Teacher, regarding electromagnetism..." Lin Ke began discussing electromagnetism topics with Ove again, making Rica nearby drowsy, almost sleepwalking while walking.

Garoce and the People's Knight Order members were no longer surprised.

They were a bunch of overzealous fighters who could hardly understand anyway.

Knicks started whispering with Lolita, while Sophie and Lamiel shared singing phonetics insights, and Laplace and Yale discussed chess.

Throughout the journey, appearances of other nobles started showing up.

Lin Ke paused his discussion with Ove, moving forward, focusing slightly.

Along this bloodied road, teams can attack each other!

Though not encouraged among nobles, since many other races exist on the bloodied road!

This road is not protected by the Gula Kingdom, and any noble along it can be attacked or plundered.

For only nobles who truly face blood and fire are considered tempered into steel.

Nobles train using foreign assaults, while outsiders take this chance, like bandits, to pilfer wealth and might even sell people to other countries as slaves.

This road is filled with bloodshed, chaos, and slaughter!

The entire road takes about a week to reach the Abyss.

This week is a test for them.

Even with Ove in the team, Lin Ke kept highly vigilant.

He didn't want casualties on this road; losing people before even starting the noble council would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Lin Ke signaled subtly to his team behind, and a knight immediately raised a banner.

The crimson Azanen Banner embroidered with a Noble Coat of Arms, and the banner marked with Chinese 'Great Wilderness' characters, red as its background, Great Wilderness · Azanen Banner.

Simultaneously, everyone except Ove began exuding a faint aura of threat.

This indicated to other sentient beings here that they're not to be trifled with!

Whether a large noble group or a small one, they would use similar methods.

Certainly, outsiders mainly targeted the smaller nobles; Azanen wasn't part of their considerations.

Thus, Lin Ke's team proceeded safely for the entire day before camping in a small grove.

...

Firelight flickered.

Lin Ke finished his meditation and started constructing some skill patterns he had previously experimented with.

First, begin with [Scholar].

His first [Scholar] skill was a streamlined air pressure shield, later developed into air pressure blades, very practical.

With protection in place, Lin Ke planned to construct a thermodynamics-related skill for the second skill slot.

Thermodynamics' Zeroth Law, First Law, Second Law, and Third Law!

These four laws will form four of Lin Ke's five current skill slots.

The first skill slot pressure is actually one of the few thermodynamic macroscopic state quantities that can be directly felt and observable.

Now, what Lin Ke is constructing is the second skill slot: temperature.

Thermodynamics Zeroth Law: If two thermodynamics systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.

This was the foundation of all thermodynamics laws before he crossed over in his previous life.

It's also an easy research project Lin Ke already completed experiments with a group of [Scholars] recruited from Great Wilderness City, proving the relevant laws.

His profession feedback was gained this way, and those [Scholars] benefited significantly too.

"Then, absorbing heat? Or radiating heat? Or..."

"Both?"
