Chapter 120

~6 min read 1,135 words

What Memetic material composes is the spiritual world.

Except for the different bases that constitute the two worlds, the physical rules are actually the same.

Therefore.

As long as the Dreamscape is perfect enough, Lin Qi can completely conduct experiments inside.

Of course.

To some extent, these hackers were already helping him conduct experiments.

Right now, this technology is about to mature.

By then, Lin Qi's research speed will increase again.

For many technologies, he doesn't even need to go through the gacha pool; with the ten-fold time acceleration, he can completely research them himself!

And at the same time.

Silver Wolf in the Dreamscape is looking for a walkthrough.

Or rather, communicating with peers.

At first.

She was full of confidence, feeling that she could pass.

But when she went to great lengths to defeat that strange creature the peers called the "Ender Dragon," she realized this was just the beginning.

This Dreamscape seemed to have no end.

They cleared one "game" after another, yet still couldn't find an exit.

"Could it be..."

"I can't clear the level?"

"That's not right, Elio's script wasn't written like this."

"There should still be a turning point."

At this moment.

Silver Wolf couldn't help but panic a little; she even doubted whether her hacking skills hadn't been fully mastered.

How could she have suffered such a big loss not long after coming out?

But looking back, there were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, hackers trapped here.

Many of them were from the same planet as her, and upon asking, they weren't exactly nobodies.

She had thought that not hearing from them for two years was because they were hiding deep.

Now it seems that's not the case at all.

It's just that their skills weren't up to par, so they couldn't get out.

And what made her even more confused was that she hadn't seen these experts for less than two years, so how did she hear from their words that some had been staying for over a decade?

Over a decade?

That's impossible!

Even if you trace back over a decade, these experts would still have been growing.

Immediately.

Silver Wolf told this news to the others.

Some didn't believe it, while others found it hard to accept.

But no matter who it was, they all felt incredibly shocked.

For a time.

The hackers became even more desperate.

Are they really going to be trapped to death here?

Just as Lin Qi was observing the experimental data, Herta sent a message after a long time.

Or rather, a question.

【Herta: Have you felt a bottleneck recently?】

【Lin in the Woods: Bottleneck? No such thing, my creativity is infinite. You might not know, but in the spiritual space, I have a whole time controller, controlling the time flow; it's quite useful so far.】

【Herta: Who asked you about that?】

In the Time Tower.

Herta was a bit speechless.

However, she was really quite curious about this machine that can control time, even though it's not in reality.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

【Herta: There is one thing I must tell you, lest you don't know and end up falling into a trap.】

【Lin in the Woods: What is it? Tell me.】

Lin Qi was a bit strange.

Because Herta rarely informed him of something in such a solemn way.

Generally, when she spoke like this, it was enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

It was very likely dangerous.

Sure enough, Herta sent another message, very seriously.

【Herta: I don't know if you have studied the past of the Genius Society members, but have you noticed that many geniuses died very strangely, and some even had their inventions and names hidden? What do you think caused this?】

Seeing Herta's message, Lin Qi was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Herta to ask this.

But on second thought, it really was a bit strange.

The main reason is that many geniuses didn't die of old age, but died in accidents.

It could be that a deviation occurred midway through an experiment, or they encountered some natural or man-made disaster.

If one or two geniuses were like this, perhaps it wouldn't prove anything.

But nearly half of the geniuses were like this, which really said a lot.

After giving Lin Qi enough time to think, Herta sent another message.

【Herta: I won't beat around the bush either; I believe if given time, you can find the clues yourself. Have you heard of the Lord of Silence, Polka Polka Polka Kakamu? She is the fourth member of the Genius Society and has a great deal to do with the deaths of other geniuses. Although she hasn't been active for some time and some suspect she is dead, I know she must still be alive!】

【Lin in the Woods: You are so sure, you must have evidence, right?】

【Herta: No physical evidence, this is a kind of feeling, you know? How should I put it, it's been a while, and it was also after I became a genius, at some point, I always felt that someone was preventing me from knowing more, wanting to seal me within the existing knowledge system. So much so that many experiments I did failed for inexplicable reasons, and were even accompanied by danger!】

【Herta: Can you understand the feeling of an experiment being half-done and suddenly exploding? The key is that you didn't do any step wrong; it was just a small change in probability.】

【Lin Qi: Hearing you say this, could this be the work of the Lord of Silence? Can she manipulate probability?】

【Herta: Something like that, anyway, just be careful yourself.】

【Herta: Although I don't know what her purpose is, to some extent, she should be a test for "geniuses." Don't you die; you promised me a station master, and you've been dragging it for two years without finding one! Don't you dare stand me up again!】

After saying this.

Herta went offline.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi was a little touched.

As expected of Ms. Herta, even her concern is so special.

After this, no matter what, he must find a suitable acting station master for the Herta Space Station.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of Herta's concern.

She rarely acts like this.

It can only be said that the threat of the Lord of Silence is indeed very terrifying.

Even Herta would change because of it.

But what Lin Qi cared about more was the ability of the Lord of Silence.

What was that?

Manipulating probability?

Isn't this a bit...

Too suitable for him, Lin Qi!

If he could manipulate probability, wouldn't that mean getting a gold every time?

It wouldn't take many Influence Points to blow up the gacha pool.
