Ove immediately understood Lin Ke’s intention, and his expression became serious.
Discover something new from this pile of stones and wires?
Ove couldn’t help but look at his only disciple, falling into contemplation.
He knew that Lin Ke didn’t tell him how to do it because he wanted him to have enough feedback to break through the legendary bottleneck.
He had just broken through from level nineteen to the Starlight level!
Originally, his wish was to break through to level ten, roughly on par with his former teacher.
But as the studies of the power and electricity continued, he unknowingly broke through to level nineteen.
Later, he thought, if he could break through to level twenty this lifetime, it would be enough — a glimpse of the "afterglow of the legend," namely the Starlight level.
Who would have thought, because of the son of an unexpectedly befriended friend, he managed to break through!
Even now, he wants him to break through to the legendary level!
Ove couldn’t help but feel both excited and uneasy.
Excited because Lin Ke has always been someone with precise intentions, he knows Lin Ke must have secretly discovered or speculated on something, having a definite idea before asking him to proceed.
Uneasy because if this feedback doesn’t allow him to break through, wouldn’t all efforts be in vain?
It’s not that these materials are so precious, but after all, it’s disappointing.
Ove’s mood was like someone from Lin Ke’s previous life who initially misread a lottery ticket thinking they won five million, only to realize afterward it was a mistake.
Although he lost nothing, it felt like losing five million.
That’s the kind of mood Ove was in now.
Regardless of success or failure, he would try because sometimes he felt Lin Ke, as a disciple, was actually smarter and closer to the truth than he was.
He always thought of himself as quite dull, needing to learn and understand through some clumsy methods gradually, which brought him to the Starlight level.
Whereas Lin Ke, he belonged to the genius type.
This time, his genius disciple, to avoid feedback from this truth experiment directly feeding back to the "Learning" trait, deliberately gathered the raw materials and let him research it himself.
This way, once he researched it, the feedback would be given to the "Research" trait.
Thinking about this, Ove couldn’t help but look at Lin Ke and started to speak, "Little Lin Ke..."
Initially, his voice startled both him and Lin Ke.
"Teacher, are you okay? Don’t be nervous, take your time, it’s just a multiple-choice question, no rush," Lin Ke sensed Ove’s nervousness, feeling amused yet helpless.
Ove swallowed, feeling uncertain about what to do with his empty hands, nervously taking out the Thunder Staff, grasping it with both hands on the ground.
With a wave, three Servants of Truth appeared, then handed him the items from the ground.
At that moment, Lin Ke felt Ove’s entire body was supported by the Thunder Staff, but he understood since it was the legendary level.
"So... should I put these two things together and take a look first?" Ove pointed towards the wires and magnets, probing a question towards Lin Ke, as if he were a student asking a teacher a question.
Lin Ke found it amusing inwardly but still said, "Teacher, research! Research! Don’t forget you’re a [Truth Researcher]!"
"Right, right, truth, research, research." Ove turned back, muttering a few words, his mood gradually calming down.
After all, he was at the Starlight level, no matter how unbearable, wouldn’t lose composure continuously.
Even while peeking through the legendary gate, one should hold head high, not be cowardly.
Once he calmed down, Ove’s eyes started focusing on the two items.
He couldn’t help but think, if it were Lin Ke, had he discovered something related to him?
Power? Or electricity?
Ove placed the magnets and wires in his hand, feeling the attraction between them.
"Could it be the study of power?" Ove speculated.
Magnets can adhere to wires or some metals, which is widely known.
This couldn’t be considered a discovery!
Like poles repel, opposite poles attract.
"Could the study of power here be quite deep?" Ove couldn’t help but ponder: "Then why do some magnets repel like poles and attract opposite poles, while others don’t exist?"
Like poles, opposite poles?
Ove suddenly thought of Granny Hisai in the Thunder Realm, blushed slightly, then restored normalcy instantly without Lin Ke noticing.
However, after thinking of Granny Hisai, suddenly, another thought broke in; Lin Ke introduced a new scientific direction called "Chemistry" to Granny Hisai.
Lin Ke stood aside, observing Ove, who held the wire in circles around magnet pensively, showing expressions teachable.
However, in that instant, Ove waved the Thunder Staff, creating two massive fiery birds floating midair.
"Caw, caw!" Little Lucky on Lin Ke’s shoulder, seeing two fiery birds, excitedly chirped.
"I... I... I!" Little Lucky said excitedly to Lin Ke.
"No, Little Lucky is more powerful than a phoenix; these are merely magic!" Lin Ke petted Little Lucky on his shoulder: "Just watch the teacher break through quietly!"
Little Lucky promptly quieted down.
At that moment, Ove tossed the magnets and wires towards the fiery birds, and they instantly engulfed the items, gradually raising the temperature from low to high.
In no time, the wire melted into molten metal, and the magnet showed signs of melting too.
Off track... Lin Ke couldn’t help but shake his head internally.
He wants Ove to discover electromagnetic induction, not the Curie temperature, magnetic domains, or thermal motion overpowering magnetic effects; those are matters for later.
After discovering the magnetic field and electricity, perhaps Lin Ke could guide Ove to discover charged particles, further exploring the microscopic world.
The microscopic world is an incredibly powerful field to explore as well!
Before Ove, Lin Ke originally treated these as his little haven, but Ove’s commitment and dedication made Lin Ke decide to explore other paths.
After all, the knowledge he brought from his past life could support him stepping into the legendary level in many disciplines.
But just when Lin Ke thought Ove failed, he saw him dispersing the flames.
The melted magnet and molten metal controlled by Ove fell, approaching the magnets placed on the ground.
Then Ove waved again, throwing away the liquid from melted magnet and started observing molten metal.
Seeing this, Lin Ke’s attention also began concentrating.
Did Teacher Ove discover something?!
As temperature rose, wire’s resistance gradually increased, making it hard to detect electric current.
How did Ove discover it?
Seeing Ove using first-level magic "Hand of Air" grabbing a wire, placing it near high-temperature molten metal, his eyes swiftly scanning back and forth.
Ove suddenly shouted, his eyes bursting with blue rays, scanning between the two substances.
[Truth Researcher] Skill — Eye of Truth!
Then suddenly, perhaps seeing something, Ove’s body trembled slightly, and he began to shake.
He whispered: "Electricity... electricity... electricity! It’s lightning!"
His voice grew louder, eventually sounding like thunder.
