Chapter 182 "Oh? Tell me about it."
After entering the gathering place, Qiong finally realized that the number of these [Cat Cakes] was much larger than the number that Brother Chen Ye had given him in his memory! But think about it, after all, the game is just a game, and it is impossible to put everything observed into it. Otherwise... the phone/computer will explode.
Moreover, because Brother Chen Ye has experienced tens of thousands of years, his memory has become blurred and he can only remember some key information at most. So even if Qiong knew where the [Petri Dish] was, he didn't know how to get there.
(Note: The "key information" mentioned above is not the "key information" recognized by everyone, but refers to those things that make me remember deeply)
Fortunately, there was also a video recording of Ruan Mei's experiment in this gathering place. Qiong opened the video again out of curiosity...
………………
"23Acha's last days in the Mechanical City inspired me. Even a life as long as hers will come to an end."
"So... now I can confirm that the result of this training is: unqualified."
………………
"23 Ah Cha? Is he also a genius in the [Genius Club]? This is something that Brother Chen Ye didn't mention in his memory, and there are also those behind it... So... these little guys are [Ruan Mei]'s test subjects, the unqualified ones?"
But Qiong didn't think much about it, and continued playing the video that was originally paused...
"...There are thousands of forms of life, and this proves one thing in disguise...form itself has no meaning."
"These lives are so far apart in their respective concepts that they can even trigger a chain reaction of synaesthesia, but this... is not what I want."
"I am beginning to feel confused. Is there really no answer to the question of [the essence of life]... 1Zandar, have you ever been this confused... and hopeless?"
………………
"[The Essence of Life]? Is this what [Ruan Mei] has been pursuing? Hiss... It doesn't seem right. Perhaps it is her [topic] during this period."
Qiong shook his head in confusion and decided not to think about it anymore. Instead, he continued to look for clues about the [Petri Dish]. After searching for dozens of minutes, Qiong finally found another video...
………………
"I've thought about it. There is indeed a [life form] that is enough to make me admit that it is unpredictable. That is - [Order Envoy]"
"What exactly is a [Commander]? This question... I still don't know until now..."
"Scholars regard them as agents of the power of the Star Gods. So... when did it start? And at what point... did they become closer to the Star Gods than other creatures?"
………………
"What a profound question. Also... is that huge red sphere above and behind her the Petri Dish? Hmm... it seems I'm looking in the right direction. Never mind... I'll just keep reading."
...............
"Initially, I tried to cultivate a 'genius'..."
………………
"Is it the A-Cha she mentioned before?"
………………
"…But I failed. This problem is still unsolvable. There is still a long way to go."
"But... the 'fate' of the universe is not just 'intelligence', so... if we abandon rationality, then, on other paths, are there more primitive... and purer 'commanders'?"
“And the answer is undoubtedly – of course there is!”
"'Taiz Yuros'... Through the 'simulated universe', I was able to get a glimpse of the entire 'cosmic locust plague', which also allowed me to obtain the data of the 'insect king' and his 'offspring', replicate and cultivate them, and thus open up a new branch of research."
………………
"Outside Nguyen Mei's laboratory"
"Tsk tsk tsk...Copying and cultivating the "Commander" and then conducting research on it, this woman is really a mad woman..."
"Tsk... Look at what you said, as if you can be any better?"
"Hey... old friend, don't keep dwelling on my past mistakes. I am also trying to correct them."
"Oh... who would believe me if I told them? It's just that you don't dare to be so indulgent now."
"Haha, you still understand me, old friend."
………………
"Hmm... it's a very reasonable judgment. I will definitely succeed. And the "it" I restore will bloom with unprecedented life!"
"But now the question is... Will Black Tower and Screw Cobalt like this experiment? I think the answer is no, so... I have to do it before they notice..."
"...I must speed up my work and find a suitable "assistant"..."
………………
"So... this is why Ruan Mei came to me... hehe... "Plaster Head Man"? What is this?"
But Qiong didn't think about it anymore, because he heard a sound coming from upstairs, which should mean that the passage leading to "Cultivating Min" was finally opened.
But on his way, he encountered a mysterious man blocking his way, and the features of his head also matched what the robot had just said - "plaster head"
………………
But the man in front of him didn't notice Qiong running over, or maybe he didn't care, and instead played the game of chess with himself...
He first said: "Look... this is a genius move, how are you going to crack it?"
Then he teleported to the other side, stretched his neck, and said impatiently: "Oh... Only an idiot would ask such a question..." Then he picked up a chess piece and placed it in a place, and then said - "Just put it here."
Then he teleported to the other side, pretending to think, and then he heard this voice... "OI! Are you the plaster head?!"
………………
"Plaster head?" What is this name? "Vritas Latio" couldn't help but muttered in his heart, but he didn't say much. Instead, he pushed the chessboard away, and then the chessboard disappeared out of thin air, and a book appeared out of thin air in the air and fell into his hand.
Then the man said calmly: "You... look distressed. Are you in trouble?" Then he looked at Qiong's wary expression, but just closed the book and said lightly: "In this case - figure it out yourself."
After saying these words, Latio looked at Qiong who was still standing there motionless, and scolded him: "What are you doing here? Do you have a lot of time? I don't think so. Take the elevator down, what you are looking for is there."
"Shh... who are you? Why are you here?"
"Hehe, before asking a question, you might as well think about it first. Is the question you ask helpful to what you are going to do at the moment?"
"Of course."
"Oh? Tell me."
