Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 733 Low-level code conflict

"Isn't what you're saying nonsense?" He went ashore, his face darkening.

Li Miao shook his head: "That's not nonsense... [Illuminating the enemy] and [having thoughts] are two separate conditions."

"Think back, what was that meteorite doing after it turned back into a normal object?"

After getting ashore and reflecting for a moment, it suddenly dawned on me: "...it was illuminating my wax ash!"

“Yes.” Li Miao nodded: “Because it is not very intelligent, when it senses that an enemy is attacking it, it instinctively reverts to its original form and prepares to expose the enemy in order to deal with it.”

"The target enemy is your wax ash."

"But you were already dead then, and ashes have no thought."

"so……"

"...So its abilities didn't get any feedback from the wax ash, which is why it just stood there motionless, and was eventually crushed to death by the Dragon Star Meteor?!"

Once ashore, his eyes lit up as he understood the key reason, and he slapped his palm.

"Damn it! I was wondering why it was standing there like that, I thought it was mocking me... You idiot boss, it turns out it was a code conflict at the lower levels!"

"No wonder he died so strangely! Hahahaha!"

He burst into laughter as soon as he got ashore.

The underlying code conflict is an unexpectedly apt description, since the meteorite's performance in combat seems to be nothing more than instinct.

"Yes, because it can't get any feedback, it can only stay in its original state. And this monster should have been a fragile creature in its original state, so it was gone after taking a hit from Dragon Starfall."

Li Miao shrugged.

The power of this falling meteorite was undoubtedly extremely strong. Its ability to influence thought could be reflected back to the user and cause changes. In the early stages of the battle, it almost completely overwhelmed the two opponents.

This ability itself is also somewhat deceptive, making it difficult for people to detect.

If Li Miao hadn't accidentally used Dragon Starfall after going ashore, and its power hadn't been released even after his death, leaving him with nowhere to unleash it, his chances of winning would have been extremely slim, demonstrating just how troublesome the enemy was.

However, even such a bizarre and terrifying ability seems to be limited by the underlying logic of the Spirit Candle world, which is that there are gains and losses, and it cannot be infinitely powerful.

This ability has a very high ceiling, but its floor is also very low.

If it possessed a complete sense of self, it might be even more terrifying.

But whether it was inherently like that, or whether the Long Night's Flame influenced it, or whether it was affected by the collapse of the world... in any case, it did not demonstrate much wisdom.

Therefore, his death was rather hasty, and the reason cannot be found without careful consideration.

"...This thing was actually placed in the trials by the Long Night's Flame...I wonder how outrageous the abilities of the other extraterrestrial life forms during the Meteor Chaos in the Long Night Era were..."

Li Miao couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh well, never mind."

"Let's see what's missing... If this thing has a spark, that's amazing. We players don't know what it will become after we fuse it."

He rubbed his hands together after getting ashore, looking at the debris on the ground with some anticipation.

"Hmm, maybe I'll reward you with the ability to stand still as punishment." Li Miao chuckled.

"Damn it, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

He went ashore, cursing and swearing, and reached for the fallen objects on the ground.

This time, the Meteor Shower event will drop four items in total.

Li Miao smeared all the wax, so there are only three left...

That's quite obvious, otherwise they wouldn't have asked that question so readily upon returning to shore...

Of course, this was just a harmless joke.

[Acquired: Defensive Mind Shard Shard (Epic)]

[Acquired: Celestial Flagellum (Excellent)]

[Acquired: Sigbawa Story Note] [Defense Mind Shard (Epic)]

[Type: Special Item/Consumable]

[Effect: When attacked while carrying this item, it will reveal one of the attacker's attack plans. (3/3)]

[Description: The essence of Sigbawa's body, a meteorite fragment, is presented in the form of shattered glass, still retaining some of his power from his lifetime... I can hear the attacker's thoughts, isn't that strange?]

The name sounds a bit like science fiction.

But the actual effect is quite magical, and the shape is the same, resembling a ping-pong ball in size, with irregularly shaped broken lenses and a strange luster.

Although its consumable nature means it cannot be used continuously, its epic-level rarity is a testament to its effectiveness, and it may even produce surprising results in certain situations.

"Take it," Li Miao said. "This defensive item will be useful to you."

Upon hearing this, before he could even feel moved for two seconds, he heard the kid add a sentence.

"With this thing, you should be able to live for three more seconds."

"..." and got ashore.

Why do you look down on people like that?
Then there are two other drops.

【Extraterrestrial Flagellate (Excellent)】

[Type: Headgear]

[Effect: Placing it on your head might allow you to receive messages from extraterrestrial life.]

[Note: Beep beep... beep... sizzle...]

This thing looks exactly like the whiplash on a falling meteorite, but it's much shorter.

I went ashore and tried putting it on my head, and then I found that it stuck firmly to my head and started to swing rhythmically.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Li Miao couldn't help but burst out laughing after a while. This thing looked ridiculously stupid, but when you wore it, it gave off an aura of wisdom.

"...Bro, you look like a damn Teletubby!"

"Messages from extraterrestrial life... I don't believe you for a second! I didn't hear a sound!" He went ashore, his face darkening. He plucked a handful of the items and threw them on the ground. "Superior quality, my foot! It's worse than shoddy!"

"Hey, don't throw it away! What if it's useful? If you don't want it, I'll take it." Li Miao picked it up.

Although there are indeed some abstract equipment and items among the spirit candles that have little effect.

However, it cannot be ruled out that this thing is indeed useful, but it has not been used where it should be used.

Finally, there's a story slip of paper.

The above content is very brief. It roughly tells the story of a wise man named "Sigbawa" who, by chance, awakens the ability to sense the thoughts of others, and eventually goes insane because of it.

The note's description surprisingly lists an author named "Chaos Without Form," suggesting a strong connection between him and the origin of the meteorite's name; it's possible he was the one who named it.

"Damn, the embers didn't fall!"

I felt a bit down after getting ashore.

The ability of these falling meteors is a bit beyond the realm of reason; if players could use it, they would definitely create all sorts of amazing games.

But it's unclear whether they were just unlucky or if meteorites simply don't drop sparks.

Therefore, the overall quality of the dropped items is rather poor.

After sorting through the fallen meteorites, the two made a few comments and then headed towards the guidance of the spirit candle, where the path to the next trial appeared.

However, just as they were about to light the spirit candles, they suddenly saw something strange...
