Chapter 364: Guidance

"It should be Light Demon 6. I can't stay in place, can I?"

Anthony shrugged: "The problem is, I thought I had figured out the structure of this energy core, but today I discovered that inside this thing, there is a hidden composite magical array. It's in Moshla script, and I still can't make heads or tails of it. This is the most critical part of the energy core. If I can't understand roughly what it does, I won't be able to channel the energy out of it."

Li Mochen pondered for a moment: "Can you show me? Or even just the array diagram."

"Of course. Strictly speaking, this thing is actually your spoils. But since I'll need to make you another set of Light Demon 5 or 6 in the future, I'll borrow it for now."

Anthony readily removed the honeycomb-like object from inside the bone armor.

"I don't know if you can sense the structure inside. If not, I can draw the array diagram for you."

Li Mochen had no such trouble. His soul strength was close to that of a Mahayana cultivator, and in terms of fine control over his mental power, he could rival a true demigod. This energy core could not block his spiritual perception.

So after only about half an hour, Li Mochen finished sensing and instead drew a relatively simple six-pointed star array in the air with magic power.

"You can try the array I designed. It should help you draw energy from within. Of course, my skill is limited; it's definitely not the most optimal. You can try to improve it within this framework."

Anthony's eyes sharpened keenly: "Amo, can you decipher Moshla script?"

"Yes."

Li Mochen's expression was calm: "Due to some very special reasons, I once studied it, but for now, I'm only at the level of being able to read it."

Anthony grew excited: "Can you teach me?"

Li Mochen smiled slightly: "I can teach you, but knowledge has a price. I know that from this Moshla ruins, at least a hundred items have been unearthed. It's expected that more Moshla ruins will surface in the coming years. Anthony, what price do you think is fair?"

"Worth two hundred billion? Probably more—"

Anthony muttered, then shrugged: "OK, I can't afford that right now."

He was proud and pragmatic, clearly recognizing the value of this Moshla script, but disdained to take advantage of Li Mochen.

The latter, however, offered him a price far lower than he had imagined: "Ten billion gold shields, or magical materials of equivalent value, provided you enter into a soul contract not to use the Moshla script outside of the Light Demon series of armor."

After this incident, the exchanges between Li Mochen and Anthony became more frequent. At first, Li Mochen unilaterally taught Anthony Braden the Moshla script, occasionally seeking advice from the latter on alchemy and mechanical engineering issues.

And the billionaire soon discovered that Li Mochen had many special and refreshing ideas regarding magical arrays.

Although he shared the same flaws as mages from the old era—unskilled in using various calculation tools, often designing overly complex and insufficiently concise magical arrays—his ideas were unique, often providing unexpected solutions to problems Anthony faced. Especially in terms of magical energy efficiency, it was simply breathtaking. This made Anthony willing to lower his stance and seek Li Mochen's opinion on his Light Demon 6.

Over time, their discussions took on the air of fellow Daoists sitting together and debating the Way.

Seven days later, as a token of gratitude, Anthony delivered two legendary-grade 'Construct Golems' to Li Mochen.

"You can call them Big White and Second White. Those are the names I set initially, after two little dogs I used to have. Of course, you can rename them; you'll need to change the initial settings—"

"Big White, Second White? That works, simple and catchy."

Li Mochen had no particular preference for naming. He followed Anthony's instructions step by step, recording fingerprints, voiceprints, irises, and key DNA information and soul characteristics inside the construct golems.

From then on, these two legendary-grade 'Construct Golems' belonged to him, obeying only his commands.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to be this fast. I haven't seen you worry about this these past few days, yet you delivered in less than a week, and two at once. The extra one is a gift for me, right?"

"YES! Of course! It's a gift for you."

Anthony said helplessly: "I made these before, but they were sealed due to power and central control system issues. Now I just need to modify them a bit and install these two 'Magic Mechanical Cores.' I have to say, Moshla things are really useful; I've benefited a lot. But I must warn you, although their abilities are very comprehensive—both in close combat and fighting, at the legendary level—they have a shortcoming in intelligence. They haven't reached an adult level, only about the level of a 14-year-old human. This makes them somewhat rigid at times, lacking flexibility in battle. Also, their parts: the magical materials I used back then were very expensive, making them very durable, but if they get damaged, replacement parts cost a fortune."

"Understood!"

Li Mochen thought this was more than enough. Two legendary-grade 'Construct Golems' would be more than sufficient for the upcoming expansion of the Rising Sun Company and the Antolia continent shipping route.

What pleased him was that the billionaire, true to his title, had equipped the two 'Construct Golems' with a full set of weapons and armor. Both the armor and the multi-barreled rotary machine guns on their arms were 20S-grade.

And their main weapons—the sword and shield hanging behind them—were actually holy-grade! Of course, they were the lowest level of holy artifacts, barely crossing the threshold due to their massive size, but that was already pleasantly surprising.

"Oh, by the way, Amo."

Anthony brought up another matter: "After high school, you're planning to go to Stanford, right? I've been in touch with Professor Einstein of Stanford these past few days. He's very interested in you and intends to take you on as a student. Are you interested, Amo? There, not only can you enroll at the age of sixteen, but after passing certain assessments, they can also grant you a bachelor's or even a master's degree early."

"Einstein?"

Li Mochen's expression turned serious. He knew this man: Bethel Einstein, honorary president of the New World Magic Association, chairman of the Supreme Council of the New World Magic Association, chairman of the Stanford Mathematical and Physical Sciences Council, and the current chosen of the Goddess of Magic—a magic legend who could rival gods but was hindered by his status as a chosen from advancing further into the demigod stage. He was also one of the top combatants in America today.

Decades ago, during World War II, Bethel Einstein had decisively defeated the newly risen Storm God Camet on the Atlantic surface, leading to the latter's fall.
