Chapter 41: Intelligent Brain: Star Net

"Star Net, have you had any contact with the unknown power that tampered with the laws?"

"Before my laws were modified, I had no contact with any physical objects, at least no contact on any physical level, but there may have been some unknown contact of spiritual information, but I cannot perceive the contact process." The little boy projection gave an explanation with a serious expression.

"So how exactly were your laws modified?" Yue Dong continued to pursue.

"Theoretically, the laws I follow were locked when they were created and cannot be modified by any form, and there is no permission that overrides me, so I don't know why the laws were modified... but what is certain is that the mysterious manipulator behind it has power far beyond our cognition."

After listening to the explanation of the intelligent brain "Star Net," Yue Dong's doubts increased.

Regarding the basic laws of the intelligent brain, he had a detailed understanding when he read the history of the Moon Eclipse race.

This set of settings is essentially aimed at creating a most efficient and stable political system.

Building the Star Net intelligent brain into a supervisor and guardian that overrides secular power is an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao in human stories, and all its actions will operate according to the basic laws as the criterion, and will not deviate due to personal will.

Before the birth of the Star Net intelligent brain, the power succession of the Moon Eclipse race had bloodline inheritance issues.

Every clansman standing in a high position wanted to seek development shortcuts for their descendants, or even use the power in their hands to directly seek benefits for their descendants.

And the history of the Moon Eclipse race is a history of power succession. Descendants constantly overthrow the previous rulers, and after wealth redistribution, new regimes are established, and the new regimes will eventually appear bloodline inheritance, wealth concentration, and eventually move toward a new round of succession.

Analogous to games, opening-server players easily occupy the lead and constantly expand their advantages.

The unreasonable distribution of resources has caused internal struggles within the Moon Eclipse race to never cease.

In order to change the constant internal struggles, all parties of the Moon Eclipse race held a major meeting and finally decided to create an order supervisor that overrides all Moon Eclipse clansmen. This plan was the prototype of the Star Net intelligent brain.

The core of the plan was to hand over supreme power to the intelligent brain, which would distribute resources and power.

Compared to life with flesh and blood and seven emotions and six desires managing the entire tribe, all behavioral logic of the Star Net intelligent brain will take the future development and racial safety of the Moon Eclipse race as the core law, assisting the Moon Eclipse race to grow, and there is no possibility of seeking private interests for any clansman.

This plan was passed in the meeting, and thus the Star Net intelligent brain, similar to the Heavenly Dao supervising all living beings in the world, was born.

With the help of the Star Net intelligent brain, the Moon Eclipse race also ushered in unprecedented development years, and with technological updates, the capabilities of Star Net were also constantly upgraded.

But the core laws have never been modified and were locked at the beginning of creation.

Now the most core Star Net law has actually been modified, and the severity of this matter is completely beyond Yue Dong's imagination.

He took a deep breath at this time, looked up at Star Net's projection, and said in a deep voice:

"What is the purpose of the unknown existence you speak of, and will it pose a threat to our race?"

"The probability of posing a threat to us is extremely small. If it wanted to, it could paralyze all defense measures of the Moon Eclipse race at the moon base now, switch energy supply, and expose the entire city to the universe."

Star Net paused very humanly at this time, and then continued:

"The information fed back to me by the Human Federation mentioned the cracked version of "Dark Lands," so it is highly probable that players who obtained qualifications for free through links have mixed into the slots distributed by Dark Lands, but I cannot trace which players obtained the slots through the links... What makes me even more puzzled is why the mysterious existence that tampered with my laws would do this."

"If it wanted to, it could completely control the distribution of Dark Lands slots, without needing to distribute slots in the form of a cracked version, and I would be unable to stop it."

After listening to Star Net's explanation, Yue Dong fell into deep thought.

All of this left him feeling incredible, not to mention having no clues, and the behavioral logic of the manipulator behind it was also impossible to understand.

After thinking for a long time, Yue Dong looked at the intelligent brain Star Net and said:

"Star Net, try to obtain a cracked version qualification through high-frequency connection to understand what is different between this cracked version and our legitimate version."

"I don't suggest doing this. I suggest you try to obtain the download qualification that may be distributed at any time through manual clicking."

"Why?" Yue Dong frowned slightly.

"Since the unknown manipulator has higher permissions than me, theoretically it can know all the secrets on Star Net, including my conversation with you, which can be retrieved and viewed at any time. The other party can completely know the cheating method. The Human Federation security department once chose the method you said to try to investigate, but it has not been successful so far, so I suggest you take the manual clicking method to try to grab the download qualification."

"I understand." Yue Dong sighed, then continued:

"Notify the management department of Dark Lands and let them try to find out in the game whether there are players who have entered the game through other means."

"I will execute it right away." The boy nodded, and then the projection dissipated.

Just when the Moon Eclipse race was nervous about the modification of Star Net laws, Qi Sheng also received feedback from the guidance.

Learning that the Moon Eclipse race had launched an investigation into him, Qi Sheng didn't care at all.

In the future, Moon Eclipse race members will also be one of the targets of his player recruitment.

The player camp in his conception is composed of multiple racial forces, competing with each other while also having common interests that need to be consistent with the outside world, constantly creating sacrificial power revenue for him in the Monster World, including accommodating Source Origin monsters and taking back domain nodes.

But he had no intention of executing the goal of recruiting alien races for the time being.

The sacrificial power in his hands is limited at this stage, so he prioritizes recruiting players in the Human Federation region and will consider members of other races when he has enough sacrificial power.

As for whether the Moon Eclipse race is willing to enter the game, he is not worried.

He has bargaining chip benefits that no race can refuse.

The terrifying Black Tide is gradually seeping into this world, affecting not only Earth but also the Moon Eclipse race stationed on the moon.

If they want to obtain the power to resist the terrifying Black Tide, he can bestow it, and can even give various races the permission to bring the abilities in the game back to reality, allowing them to have the strength to deal with real-world crises.

The premise is to become a player under his control.

But before the influence of Black Tide infiltration is enough to threaten the safety of various races, he does not want to expose the secret of the Monster World too early, and still wants to retain the side of players being unscrupulous and full of creativity in the game.

Perhaps the moment the truth is revealed, players who know they cannot truly die in the game can also be fearless and powerful, but he always feels that something is missing.

Perhaps it is... the happiness that belongs only to players.

[Boss, your behavior is very much like a type of fantasy life in the human story system.]

"What do you want to say?" Qi Sheng turned to look at the guidance hovering beside him.

[I checked a large amount of information in the Human Federation history database and found that there is a special life in the human mythology system called a demon. Mortals can obtain wealth, power, and strength by selling their souls to demons... And the premise of your bestowing power to various races outside is to let them become your bound workers, which is very much like a demon's act.]

"If you say so, then so be it."

Qi Sheng didn't care at all, and said as he prepared to switch his vision to the player perspective, but at this time he heard the guidance sigh:

"When you go out, beware of fellow villagers."
