Chapter 48: Super-Brain Spacetime

Chu Minghao had many things he couldn't tell the three, just as Su Xing couldn't tell Amadai and Xu Shilan what the "Weekend" was.

Many secrets involving the dream world and the root cause of all these changes could not be spoken to others unless experienced personally; otherwise, not only would one get into trouble, but the listeners would also suffer greatly.

And even if experienced personally, if one’s strength, character, and will were insufficient, one would still die, deform, become polluted, or even vanish.

So Chu Minghao could only explain one thing simply.

As fewer and fewer living people remained on Gaia, all surviving humans would become increasingly dangerous when facing the "Weekend." According to Chu Minghao, there were several critical points. When the next critical point was reached, the "Weekend" time would become 48 hours, or 72 hours, and would definitely not return after just 24 hours.

As the critical points were continuously broken, the time of the "Weekend" would become longer and longer, and the truth of the deeper areas would gradually emerge, eventually breaking through the scope of human understanding and going into indescribable confusion and chaos.

Su Xing thought of what he had seen in the previous "Weekend." The outermost reality was a meat processing plant, surrounded by employees. But the deeper "truth" was that these employees were all monsters, and the livestock being processed were all humans. If one went a step further into the "truth," these monsters were all kinds of cyberpunk robots, and the processing plant became some kind of ultra-high-tech mechanical base, and this was still not the final "truth."

"For some reason, I can only appear on Gaia for less than 30 minutes every 30 days, and I should try not to use extraordinary powers during these 30 minutes, otherwise the time will be rapidly shortened, and it might only appear for a few seconds. So I can't help you liberate Gaia in the real world. All I can do is help all you maintenance staff in the dream world."

Chu Minghao said frankly.

Xu Shilan was still dazed, seemingly thinking about the afterlife. Amadai was not good at conversation and thinking, so Su Xing could only ask, "Then why appear only now? As far as I know, the changes in the dream world have been going on for at least a hundred years, maybe even longer. Why didn't you appear before?"

Chu Minghao reached out and popped up a finger. "First, I only woke up for a year and three months. Second, I couldn't track you in the dream world at first. Third, I was hunted by the remnants of the two major forces, the Thirteen Singularity Group and the Human Revolutionary Alliance. It was only during the last 'Weekend' that I killed the two teams tracking me and finally had time to spare. Fourth, I got the magic mirror less than a month ago. Fifth..."

"There’s a fifth?"

Su Xing and Amadai spoke at the same time.

Chu Minghao seemed to like the straightforwardness of Su Xing and Amadai. He laughed loudly. "Yes, there must be a fifth... I also learned many 'truths' in the last two months, including the truth of the main brain, the truth of the dream world’s changes, and the truth of our human future."

Su Xing was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Which layer of truth?"

Chu Minghao was slightly stunned. He looked at Su Xing carefully. "Right, you saw my sword light just now, didn't you? Your strength is really good, and you have a talent for 'truth' in terms of inspiration... If I have to say, I saw the truth at the 0.3 baseline reality level. I can't do anything about deeper truths yet, but just the truth at the 0.3 baseline reality level has already let me know many things."

Su Xing calculated silently in his heart. According to what he saw in the meat processing plant during the "Weekend," the "employees" were at 0.9 baseline reality, the monsters were at 0.8, the machines were at 0.7, and he couldn't see the ones behind. If calculated this way, this Chu Minghao... is terrifying!

Su Xing collected his mood and asked in a deep voice, "What do you need us to do?"

Chu Minghao said, "Stay alive, try to survive, that’s the only goal."

Before Su Xing could speak, Amadai shook his head. "You can't be awesome on Gaia. Just in the dream world, how many people can you save? The whole Gaia is a mess. I don't know about other areas, but our Z District 6123 sub-district currently has one hibernation chamber, one maintenance base, and one medical base. Other areas are all in isolation. Even this was opened by Su Xing risking his life. Most other areas are now silent. Do you know this?"

"I know."

Chu Minghao bowed his head slightly, his voice slightly hoarse. "I’m very sorry, but I hope you can persist, persist in staying alive, even if it’s just for yourselves. I can only try to provide you with some help in this dream world, but I will recover as soon as possible and return to Gaia as soon as possible. Before that... please try to stay alive."

Amadai wanted to say something else, but Su Xing stopped him and looked at Chu Minghao. "What kind of help can you provide us?"

Chu Minghao said immediately, "First, help you set up at least a Level 2 shelter in this world. Second, if you have any clear enemies, weirdness, or nightmares in this world, I can help you clean them all up. Third, I will tell you some intelligence about the dream world that can be spoken... I’m sorry, I can only do this for now."

Su Xing and Amadai looked at each other, and then both looked at Xu Shilan. Xu Shilan was irritable at this time. She waved her hand. "Listen to him. This guy is basically never wrong except for his poor judgment of people. And although this guy looks unreliable, he is an honest person..."

Su Xing nodded. "I already have a Level 2 event-type shelter in this world. Neither of them has one, so just help them set up shelters."

Chu Minghao looked at Su Xing a few more times and smiled. "Very powerful, already set up a Level 2 shelter in the 0.7 baseline reality dream world." Su Xing said indifferently, "My shelter was obtained entirely by luck. What about you? With your strength, I’m afraid you’ve already gone to 0.4, or even 0.3?"

Chu Minghao said sternly, "No, although I have three shelters, the strongest shelter is a Level 5 shelter in the 0.7 baseline reality dream world. I haven't set up shelters at deeper levels."

Su Xing and Amadai didn't believe it, but Xu Shilan had an 'as expected' expression.

Su Xing said immediately, "Impossible, you patted the sword box, and the world stopped. This kind of ability can be called a mythological supernatural power. I don't believe the 0.7 baseline reality dream world can do this!"

Chu Minghao suddenly realized. "You mean that? That is a set of cultivation techniques in 0.7 baseline reality, Sword Condensation Technique. When practiced to the extreme manifestation, you can strike with one sword and leave a sword light, which can last for about 0.03 seconds, and the retina of ordinary people can see it."

"Unbelievable!"

Su Xing said directly, "Please, I’m not blind. That was a huge piece of radiant sword light like a star, okay!? And the world stopped. You tell me that’s the Sword Condensation Technique of the 0.7 baseline reality world??"

Chu Minghao patted the sword box with a sincere face. "This sword box is also a fantasy object. The effect is that it can stop and save various energies, Daoist methods, and extraordinary powers of demon arts in it. When I practice swordsmanship on weekdays, I put the sword light of the Sword Condensation Technique into it. Over time, there are hundreds of thousands of sword lights. As for the effect of the world stopping, it is..."

"Super-Brain Spacetime, right?" Xu Shilan suddenly said from the side.

Chu Minghao smiled and didn't speak. Xu Shilan turned to Su Xing. "This is a unique ability he has, called Super-Brain Spacetime. Didn't I mention it before? During the Fourth World War of humanity, three superhumans appeared. They possessed super abilities called Super-Brains, which were identified by the scientific community at the time as the next evolutionary feature of humanity, so these three people were also called New Humans. They can experience the sense of time of ordinary people for three to five seconds in an instant, which is about one picosecond. Although their bodies are still in a near-static state like ordinary people at this time, their thinking can operate, so scientists built Super-Brain assistants for them, allowing them to control weapons with their thinking."

"And in the Super-Brain state, their thinking control power is completely different from ordinary people. They can be like a supercomputer, dividing their thinking into thousands, controlling tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of thinking threads at the same time!"

!

Chu Minghao took over the topic. "Exactly. Although my Super-Brain assistant was destroyed after the Fourth War, my Super-Brain Spacetime ability is innate, and the sword light of this Sword Condensation Technique can be controlled and influenced by my thinking. It seems that the sword light only lasts for about 0.3 seconds, but for me, it is a very long time. I can control it to take people’s heads from a hundred miles away, and I can also do all kinds of drawing, shaping, lifting flight, protective covers, etc. This is the truth you saw in that instant... I think, besides your strong inspiration, you might also have the potential for Super-Brain Spacetime."

Su Xing and Amadai didn't react much, but Xu Shilan’s reaction was unusually shocking. She suddenly propped up her body and stared at Chu Minghao tightly, asking seriously, "He really might have Super-Brain ability!?"

Chu Minghao said seriously, "You know, I never joke about these things. If it was just strong perception or strong inspiration, at most it would be to detect abnormalities, and it would be impossible to see my sword light in that instant when the world seemed to be static. This is a passive expression of some kind of Super-Brain ability, which is the mutual attraction between New Humans as you say."

Xu Shilan bit her lower lip and was dazed for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "It’s a pity that it’s only potential. Unlike you and 'him', it’s not naturally triggered. To trigger it, you need to go to the main control room of the main brain and use the main brain to simulate the Super-Brain Spacetime feeling, so that it can be completely triggered..."

Chu Minghao smiled and said, "That’s why we need to live well. When I can return to Gaia, I will naturally help Brother Su Xing trigger the Super-Brain Spacetime ability. I have the control authorization of the main brain."

Su Xing didn't care about these at all. He asked again, "Speaking of which, Xu Shilan, you mentioned before that three people have this ability, one is him, and another... is estimated to be a high-level official of the Human Revolutionary Alliance? The 'he' you have been mentioning, what about the third person? People with such powerful abilities can't have no name, right?"

Xu Shilan bowed her head slightly and said nothing. Chu Minghao sighed, looked at Xu Shilan for a few seconds, and then said to Su Xing, "The third person... is Miss Xu’s brother, a recessive Super-Brain ability user. If you also have Super-Brain ability, then it is the same nature as you."

Su Xing didn't ask about Super-Brain ability anymore. Although he was a straight man of steel, he was not an idiot, and it was impossible to sprinkle salt on Xu Shilan’s wound.

The whole dining table was silent for a few seconds, only the sound of Amadai eating and drinking. Su Xing then asked, "Okay, don't talk about this. You just mentioned intelligence, right? Then I do have some intelligence I want to ask."

Chu Minghao naturally nodded. He said frankly, "You can ask, as long as it doesn't involve harmful pollution, I know everything."

"Okay, the first question."

"Why is it called a shelter? This shelter..."

"What exactly does it shelter?"
