Chapter 147

What Memetic substance 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 dream space 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 and development speed will increase again.

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

And at the same time.

Silver Wolf in the dream space is looking for a walkthrough.

Or rather, communicating with peers.

At first.

She was still full of confidence, feeling she could clear it.

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

This dream space seems to have no end.

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

"Could it be..."

"I can't clear it?"

"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 practiced enough.

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

But looking back, there are no less than eight thousand hackers trapped here, if not ten thousand.

Many of them are from the same planet as her, and upon asking, they aren't nobodies either.

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

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

It is completely because their skills aren't up to par, so they can't get out.

And what confused her even more was that she hadn't seen these experts for less than two years, so how come listening to them, some have been here for more than ten years?

More than ten years?

That's impossible!

Looking back more than ten years, even these experts were still growing, right?

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 felt incredibly shocked.

For a time.

The hackers became even more desperate.

Are they really going to be trapped here to death?

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?】

【Curiosity in the Woods: A 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, and it's working quite well so far.】

【Herta: Who asked you about that?】

In the Time Tower.

Herta was a bit speechless.

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

But now is not the time to talk about that.

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

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

Lin Qi felt a bit strange.

Because Herta rarely informs him of something in such a solemn manner.

Usually, when she says it like this, it is enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

It is very likely dangerous.

Sure enough, Herta sent another message, very serious.

【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 erased; 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 thinking about it, it really is 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 says 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 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 days, some suspect she is already dead, but I know she must still be alive!】

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

【Herta: No physical evidence, it's a feeling, you know? How should I put it, it should have been a while ago, and it was after I became a genius; during a certain period, I always felt 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 even accompanied by danger!】

【Herta: Can you understand the feeling of an experiment being halfway 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 die; you promised me a station master, and it's been two years and you still haven't found one! Don't 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, he wouldn't be worthy of Herta's concern.

She rarely does this.

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

Even Herta would change because of it.

But what Lin Qi cares about more is the ability of the Lord of Silence.

What is it?

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 item every time?

It wouldn't take many influence points to blow up the gacha pool. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
