Chapter 146

Clearly.

Silver Wolf's reaction surprised them all.

How could someone be incredibly confident one second and faint the next?

The slap in the face came too quickly.

What surprised them even more was that after fainting, for some reason, Silver Wolf suddenly started smiling.

It was as if...

She had found a beloved toy.

It was simply too bizarre.

"Kafka, is this also part of the script?" Firefly couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, let's just wait; there's no other way anyway, and the passenger ship has to arrive at the station eventually," Kafka said.

In fact, Elio doesn't let the few of them know much about each other's scripts.

Because everyone just needs to play their own role well, and they don't need to worry about the rest.

They have always been executing missions this way.

Only this time.

Even Blade couldn't help but care.

There was no choice; who could have known things would happen so suddenly?

And right now, there is no other good way.

They can only wait for now.

On the other side.

Lin Qi suddenly received a signal.

"Another intruder?"

Come to think of it.

Ever since Yarilo became famous, almost every moment, someone has wanted to break through the Anywhere Door's firewall.

At first, Lin Qi had the mind to deal with it, engaging in back-and-forth confrontations on the interstellar dark web with these hackers from who knows where.

Later, he was too lazy to do it himself.

He directly developed a dual-layer firewall.

The first layer is traditional, meaning it works through code; this layer has nothing special, directly isolating hacker intrusions remotely.

The firewall that truly applies changes is the second layer.

Lin Qi used the Memetic substance dug from Penacony and the dream space as a foundation, linking it with the firewall.

As long as someone triggers the Anywhere Door code on Yarilo, their consciousness will directly enter the dream space.

Because Lin Qi placed the core code inside it.

Anyone who wants to cause trouble, whether actively or passively, must come in.

Of course, the premise is that they must be on Yarilo.

At this moment.

Lin Qi sensed the information sent back from the dream space.

And looking at the intrusion speed, it wasn't just a "small hacker."

At least from a technical level, that seems to be the case.

It should be the kind that has some ability.

"It's a pity you chose the wrong place; this isn't a place you can come and go as you please."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

Compared to a few years ago, the current dream space has long undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lin Qi not only further optimized it but also added many mazes and levels inside, further increasing the difficulty.

The key is that there is also a Masked Fool inside, confusing the situation.

It must be said.

Sparkle is having a lot of fun inside.

At first, she was a bit bored, but ever since more and more "hackers" were trapped inside and couldn't get out, her fun began.

Her greatest pleasure is playing various NPCs and then speaking like a riddle-maker, making the hackers feel that this is right one moment and that is right the next.

Anyway, they just can't get out.

And then watching them scratch their heads inside.

Which is...

Unable to clear the level.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi even gave her a reward, or rather, a KPI.

That is, the lower she keeps the clearance rate, the higher her degree of freedom.

As of now, her authority in the dream space is second only to Lin Qi.

To some extent, the fact that the "clearance rate" of this dream space is so low is at least half her doing.

It can only be said that with a Masked Fool here who does whatever she wants, has extremely high authority, and aims to tease people, even the ancestor of hackers would be blind here.

Isn't that right...

This little hacker who just came in was misled.

They are currently there frantically "chopping trees" and "mining," preparing to craft their own "weapon."

Little do they know, being addicted to the game makes it even harder to get out.

Of course.

It doesn't rule out that they just like games.

And for Lin Qi, besides being able to control hackers, this dream space has an even more important function.

That is collecting Memory Bubbles!

And broadening research in the spiritual realm.

The former goes without saying; although the Memory Bubbles of these hackers are not the memories of the Fire Brigade themselves, the quality is very high, after all, the memories here are too unforgettable.

So Lin Qi used this, combined with the Time Towel, to manufacture a considerable number of high-quality Light Cones.

Allowing the Legion's strength to rise to another level.

As for the latter...

It allowed one of Lin Qi's research projects to break through.

That is the "Room of Spirit and Time."

This is a special space that can control the flow of time, originating from the Dragon Ball world.

But Lin Qi didn't draw it from the gacha pool.

He just figured it out based on his own technology.

Through the Time Towel's time technology and the dream space's spiritual technology, Lin Qi developed this technology that can control the flow of time within the dream space.

This is also the reason why it is very difficult for hackers to get out.

Because they are in the dream space and simply cannot perceive that their time flow is different from the outside world.

Currently, Lin Qi can adjust the time flow to be ten times faster than the real-time flow, or ten times slower.

That is to say, a year passes in reality, but ten years might pass inside, or only a little over a month.

So much so that the hackers inside don't know how long they have actually spent inside.

They are actually from the same batch, but some feel like years have passed, while others feel like only a few months.

As for what other uses this technology has...

That is huge.

As long as the dream space is constructed perfectly, Lin Qi can even move some experiments from reality into the dream space.

Come to think of it.

"Dream space" is actually not accurate, because essentially it doesn't require dreaming, nor is it dreaming.

Rather, it is that individuals with souls have their consciousness projected into another world composed of Memetic substance.

Just like the real world composed of matter. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
