Chapter 545: News of a New Plane War

Forty years later.

Purgatory Sulfur Plane, in the study of the core laboratory, Jie Ming was sitting at the desk in an extremely disheveled posture.

He was unshaven, his hair messy.

His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his wizard robe was as wrinkled as a rag dug out from some corner.

His spiritual sense probed into the Magic Net terminal, shuttling rapidly through the vast information flow, searching for various knowledge and things related to "information," while muttering to himself:

"Information, information, information..."

He looked exactly like some madman obsessed with research and gone astray.

However, Jie Ming was certain he hadn't gone crazy; the reason he was doing this now was simply an attempt to inform the Magic Net of his needs. Jie Ming called this set of methods the "Big Data Guidance Method."

The inspiration came from the internet big data collection in his memories from his previous life.

He knew that the Magic Net artificial intelligence Felix of the Star Ring Federation would not actively eavesdrop on wizards' knowledge—after all, such behavior violated the treaty of the Star Orbit Tribunal, and Felix wouldn't dare even if given ten times the courage.

But if wizards themselves left various "action traces" on the Magic Net, these traces would be recorded.

Search history, browsing paths, focus preferences, dwell time... no different from the internet in his previous life.

And that was exactly what Jie Ming wanted.

He hoped that through these traces, Felix would "understand" that he had an extraordinary interest in information-related knowledge, and then arrange a plane related to information knowledge for him in the next mandatory conscription.

As for whether it would succeed... Jie Ming expressed an optimistic attitude.

After all, he had specifically checked his Level 2 cultivation agreement, as well as the cultivation agreement for elite combat units, confirming that there were indeed clauses regarding "assisting relevant wizards."

Although it wasn't explained in detail, the treaty did indeed have wording about assisting wizards and guiding them toward favorable directions as much as possible. As for why he had to go around in circles like this...

Jie Ming sighed and rubbed his temples.

Over these years, he had been frantically studying knowledge about Fate and destiny.

Knowledge from two worlds verified and assisted each other; logically, he should have made rapid progress.

But facts proved that the difficulty of this type of knowledge was no exaggeration.

He previously thought he was almost at the introduction, already able to stand at the door and hear the sound of waves inside.

As a result, after studying for more than ten years, he found that he was still at the level of being close to the introduction, not even having stepped over the threshold.

Clearly, compared to decades ago, his knowledge level in all aspects had grown significantly, but the gap remained huge.

Jie Ming had also doubted whether there was a problem with his learning method, but every time he went to ask Mentor Clark, the mentor would say, "Normal, the Fate system is just like this; you'll get used to it after studying for a few hundred more years."

Used to it...

Jie Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.

Considering that the next mandatory plane war conscription was approaching, he had no choice but to set his sights on the new plane battlefield.

That was why he looked like this now.

Every interval of rest from study, he would search for relevant intelligence on the Magic Net.

Jie Ming was about to continue his "information trace" grand undertaking when the Magic Net terminal suddenly vibrated.

Communication request.

He glanced at the caller ID and immediately sat up straight.

Mentor Clark.

Connecting the communication, the light screen lit up, revealing Clark's face, which never had any expression.

The mentor looked at him, his gaze sweeping from top to bottom.

Only then did Jie Ming realize how terrible his current image was.

Unshaven, hair messy, looking exactly like he had been squatting in the laboratory for decades without going out—although that was indeed the case.

He subconsciously reached out to smooth his hair.

A glimmer of alchemy light flashed, and his originally frizzy hair immediately became smooth and compliant, and the stubble on his face disappeared completely. Clark watched this hand, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"It seems you really haven't wasted time," he said. "Although the knowledge of the Fate system hasn't been introduced yet, alchemy has reached the level of being able to affect proteins with complex structures."

Jie Ming lowered his head respectfully: "It is the means regarding information collection and information processing in the Fate system knowledge that have benefited me greatly." This was not modesty.

Although he hadn't been introduced to the Fate system knowledge, the things he had learned over these years wouldn't fail just because he hadn't been introduced.

Those theories and methods regarding information collection and information processing, even if just the fur, were enough to produce effects in other fields. The most obvious was alchemy.

Originally, because of insufficient computing power, his alchemy had been stuck at a certain bottleneck.

Those complex operations that required processing thousands of variables simultaneously, he always neglected one thing while attending to another.

But after mastering more efficient information processing means, this problem was solved.

He could now process more variables with the same energy and complete more complex operations in a shorter time. His alchemy level naturally went up.

Including the startup speed and maintenance time of the Light God Transformation, they also improved quite a bit.

The information processing precision of the Causal Tracing Technique was also much stronger than before.

However, Jie Ming didn't explain these in detail.

He knew that Clark taking the initiative to contact him was definitely not to listen to these trivial progress reports.

"Mentor, is there something you need?"

Clark nodded: "I looked at the time; you are almost at the time to be urgently conscripted."

Jie Ming was stunned and nodded: "Yes, according to the agreement, it should be in ten years."

"Go early this time," Clark said.

Jie Ming looked at him in confusion.

Clark's expression still had no changes, but his tone carried a rare gentleness: "A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me for consultation. They found a relatively special plane, and I think the situation of this plane is very suitable for you now."

He paused: "Getting familiar with relevant knowledge will be helpful to you."

Hearing this, Jie Ming's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Clark nodded: "Because of the confidentiality agreement, I can't tell you the specific situation yet. But he will initiate the conscription of elite combat units in five years. At that time, you can accept the combat conscription and go directly."

Jie Ming took a deep breath and lowered his head solemnly: "Understood. Thank you, Mentor."

Clark looked at him and smiled rarely... although it was just a slight twitch of the corners of his mouth.

"No need to thank me," he said. "Your information processing capability is stronger, and it's easier for me to use you."

After speaking, the communication hung up.

The light screen extinguished.

The moment the communication hung up, Jie Ming jumped up on the spot.

He really jumped up.

He sprang up from the desk and spun in the air.

After stabilizing his figure, he took a deep breath, and another deep breath, only then barely suppressing the urge to laugh out loud. ===== CHAPTER 546 =====
