Different World: The Devil's Coming

Chapter 161 Mo Fan's Preparations

The first time they went sailing, just like Mo Fan and his friends' first mission, they had no idea what to buy. They bought everything, both useful and unusable. Mo Fan was the worst, even buying a beginner's swimming ring and an advanced version of a warm swimming ring (which was infused with fire elements and could keep you warm for a month, but how much of what the seller said could be trusted?).

The scariest thing is that Mo Fan also bought a few diving masks that can breathe underwater.

Diving masks are usually prepared for offshore salvagers. They are essentially simple magic tools that can extract air from the seawater and supply it to divers after being activated by magic. However, people with some magical talents generally don't use them. After all, it can save some money, right?

What's more, the diving mask can only provide air, and the water pressure in slightly deeper waters is real. Unless you buy a complete set of diving suits, divers still cannot reach deep waters.

Mo Fan took into consideration that a diving suit is troublesome to put on, while a diving mask only needs to be put on the face. So he bought ten diving masks generously, which attracted a lot of attention and laughter from passers-by. Lan Kexin and the other two also moved away, saying that they didn't know this fool.

Unlike Chenxi and the other two, they just wanted to go sailing and experience the sea life. Mo Fan really wanted to build a good relationship with the sea people, and it would be best if he could visit their habitat.

In his previous life, what was the most vivid image of the sea creatures? Mermaids. At the very least, it was the Chinese mythology, the Dragon King in the sea, shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and the like. Mo Fan was still very interested in this.

So after another day of shopping, the next morning, Mo Fan and his three companions finally boarded Lanquan’s ship, the Yum Victory.

This name was given by Lanquan himself. It is simple and clear, and it means that he hopes to be victorious in every battle and have a lot of gains when going out to sea for adventure.

Mo Fan and the other three didn't feel anything about it, and just said a few perfunctory words. Chen Xi and the other two really had no interest, and Mo Fan was obsessed with the mysterious sea creatures, so his interest in the ship was greatly reduced.

Mo Fan had looked for news about the Sea Clan, but in Hanhai City, the Sea Clan seemed to exist only in legends. It seemed that the royal family, that is, Lan Kexin's parents, wanted to block the news about the Sea Clan, but why? Worried about causing panic?

When Mo Fan was buying something yesterday, he thought about it for a whole day but still couldn't figure it out. So he simply stopped thinking about it. Since he was here, he would just make the best of it. The worst that could happen is he could just run away. Mo Fan comforted himself very calmly. (Actually, he was just giving up. He was too lazy to think about it.)

After one day of sailing, the four were very excited. They looked around the boat, the sea, and the scenery. Three days later, the three of them lost interest and sat on the lounge chairs fishing to add to their dinner. Why three people? Because Mo Fan was resting in his room. He was a little seasick...

After seven days, Mo Fan recovered quickly thanks to his strong adaptability. However, he still did not go out to fish with Chen Xi and the others. Instead, he practiced alone in his room and did some experiments.

An experiment on whether black flame can burn in water.

As for the results, yes.

As mentioned before, Mo Fan's Black Flame is a combination of the Fire Element and the Dark Element. But this combination is not a new element, it is still two different elements, just mixed together. In other words, Mo Fan can break either of the two, extract a certain characteristic from it, and mix it into the other element for use.

This is the black flame.

Normally, black flames are black flames with all the characteristics of dark and fire elements.

When Mo Fan wanted to actually do it and remove the burning from the fire element and only take the spreading attribute of the fire element, Mo Fan realized how difficult it was.

This is like picking out a few drops of clean water from a pool of dirty water. The difficulty is outrageous. The fire element is extremely unstable. Mo Fan wants to extract a characteristic from it, and the difficulty increases sharply.

Some people may say that since the purpose of extracting the spread characteristic is to integrate the dark element, how much improvement can a characteristic bring? It is better to just use the dark element directly.

That's not the case. Even if a new feature is added, it can make the dark element qualitatively different. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about how terrifying the strange fire formed by integrating the characteristics of the ice element into the flame in a novel in the previous life is. There is also the integration of the power of the sea into the flame, forming a tsunami-like flame wave.

Similarly, although it was just a spreading attribute, it was not a big deal. Even if it was drawn out, the improvement in the dark element would not be enough to allow Mo Fan to ascend. But it was a symbol, or a milestone in progress.

If Mo Fan could extract a characteristic instead of just blending two elements together without any skill, then maybe in the near future, Mo Fan could really blend a new element, right?

Dark elements actually have a spreading nature. Whether it is devouring or corroding, they will slowly consume the enemy's power and strengthen themselves. However, before consuming the enemy's power, dark elements will not expand, which is also its disadvantage. Once the enemy's magic structure is tight and the dark elements have nowhere to corrode, the speed of expansion will drop rapidly or even stop.

At this time, the spread of fire elements is needed. When the enemy's power is still there, the dark elements can be directly laid around the enemy, eroding a large area at the same time, which can quickly consume the enemy's energy and magic power.

As for why he didn't extract the other two characteristics, or try to fuse the water element and the dark element. First, Mo Fan didn't know how long it would take to arrive. To fuse a new element again, he needed to have a certain understanding of the two elements. Before entering school, although Mo Fan knew all the elements, he was still proficient in the fire element and the dark element. The fighting method was mainly melee, so Mo Fan could only say that he could use other elements, but he was not very proficient.

Maybe in the future, when Mo Fan has time, he will practice other elements again and try to combine different elements. But now, Mo Fan has no time.

What are the other two properties of the fire element? Burning and explosion. The effects of these two are greatly reduced underwater. In comparison, the spreading property is naturally much more practical, isn't it?

Of course, there are definitely more than one characteristic of fire. Whether it is the destruction brought by fire or the vitality symbolized by "wildfires cannot be extinguished, spring breezes will bring new life", these can all be the characteristics of fire. But again, it requires perception, and a deep perception.

Mo Fan did not have these insights. After all, he was still a student and fought in missions. There was no one in the academy who could compete with him. Most of the students in their 40s were away from home all year round. They only came back to the academy to get supplies and ask questions to the teachers. After asking questions, they would continue to go to various places to carry out missions and comprehend their own fields.

To put it simply, there are fewer battles and even fewer experiences of life and death, so it is difficult to have this kind of understanding of destruction or life.
