The perception tentacles continuously caressed the street lamp poles, and a familiar sensation emerged, like a retired athlete grasping a long-lost piece of equipment, or a legendary driver stepping back into the cockpit of a mech.

This feeling was as if— "The Machine Soul Rejoices"!

He closed his eyes, allowing the perception tentacles to shoot out continuously, snatching street lamp poles one after another.

In no time, hundreds of street lamp poles had gathered around him, and it seemed more lamp poles were surging here with the dark currents of the black sea.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes. In his dazzling golden pupils, the sun seemed to be burning, and together with these street lamp poles around him, there was a grand air of "Wang Xianzhi, Lin Yi visits the Gray Mist Sea, bringing with him an entire city's lamp poles to battle you."

All sorts of cheeky thoughts like "street lamp pole opens the Heavenly Gate" ran through Lin Yi's mind.

Accompanying these thoughts were endless secret marks and mystical symbols, along with the words of the "Divine Craftsman"—

["The core of forging lies in mastery over the whole..."

"While the process is important, every action must move toward the result you desire to be effective..."]

Only by understanding can one manufacture effectively.

And he roughly knew how to establish an anchor point; this skill had silently unlocked, like a skill...

At this moment, Tian Bufan's voice also slowly resounded: "You seem to have found a bit of feeling, but you're just one step away from breaking through this layer of window paper."

Tian Bufan pointed with one hand and said, "The essence of an anchor point is a 'book pin'. The Gray Mist Sea and the Black Moon Outpost originally reside on different sheets of paper, and we're using this book pin to staple these two pages together."

"We guide the principal from the paper on which the Gray Mist Sea resides through the book pin into the sheet on which the Black Moon Outpost resides, and then remove the book pin."

"This is the fundamental logic of the action."

"As for how to construct a correct and effective map level anchor point... do you remember the campus map?"

Lin Yi was taken aback, the campus map?

"How is it related to the campus map?"

Ever since he explored nearly 70% to 80% of the campus buildings, Lin Yi believed he understood the campus well enough and stopped thinking about the campus map. How could there be any mysteries within it?

Tian Bufan said: "In the 'normal' campus map, the distribution of the street lamp poles is entirely random. However, there are some special street lamp poles that are not distributed within conventional building areas but scattered near the Green Forest Belt..."

"Can you recall it?"

Lin Yi said: "It's a bit difficult... let me think."

He closed his eyes, and the appearance of the campus map slowly emerged in his mind—of course, the map that emerged was the normal campus map as per Tian Bufan's requirement.

"I got it."

"Great, now filter out those street lamp poles scattered on the Cobblestone path."

"Wait a moment... okay, they've been removed."

"Great, now the pattern formed by the remaining street lamp poles... is the design diagram for the anchor point."

"Huh?!" Lin Yi was shocked, "The design diagram for the anchor point is hidden in the campus map?!"

Tian Bufan explained: "The street lamp poles on campus are 'book pins', nailing the campus map layer and the Art Building layer together. That's how the Art Building layer is suspended in the sky."

"Each of those street lamp poles is an anchor point, and each part forms an anchor point as a whole building area. At the same time, regions can combine to form new anchor points, tightly linking the campus and the Art Building area together."

"The campus map secretly contains the wisdom of the first-generation architects. It's a secret almost every informed person can know, but without teaching, nearly no one can understand it."

"I see..." Lin Yi suddenly understood and also thought of Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao used to be engrossed in the map, and now it seems, Lu Zhao might also have been searching for the secret of the anchor point. Unfortunately, whether he figured it out or not, Lu Zhao has passed away.

"Of course, just having the design diagram isn't enough. After completing the layout, multiple folding is necessary to activate its effects." Tian Bufan explained, "The map-level anchor points have different functions. Some are like pillars, just placed there, but our anchor point is a base. It also requires us to broadcast our signal into the Gray Mist Sea for the Principal to capture."

Lin Yi speculated, "So our anchor point is a 'lighthouse'?"

Tian Bufan affirmed: "That's right, so we need to light the beacon and prevent some strange things from being attracted after lighting it."

Lin Yi said: "Then... shall I construct the anchor point first, leaving the last step undone?"

"Correct!" Tian Bufan responded with relief, "Now that you've clarified your thoughts, you can proceed, and I'll help keep watch."

"Okay!" The two minds resonated in unison and immediately cooperated.

Lin Yi instantly used his perception tentacles to control the red numbered painted street lamp poles, starting to place them on the surface of the Gray Mist Sea according to the points on the campus map.

The suspected gravitational disturbance characteristics of the Gray Mist Sea conveniently provided the means for staking the lamp poles. Each of these street lamp poles was arranged by Lin Yi like acupuncture needles.

However, each time a lamp pole was thrown into the sea surface, the undercurrent beneath the sea would surge with a strange roaring sound, assaulting his will.
