Eternal Night

Chapter 557 Self-Positioning
Wu Pifu was not familiar with the Super Brain Assist Device. Judging from Chu Minghao and Liang Min's answers when he asked them, it was something that was exactly what it sounded like, an aid for the Super Brain.

"The superbrain is probably a special superhuman ability of us Gaia humans. To be honest, even after experiencing the End Producer, the research of the Thirteen Singularity Company, and the continuous research of the Human Revolutionary Alliance, our understanding of the superbrain is still extremely shallow. We don't even know how the superbrain works. From the perspective of energy conservation, even a moment of using the superbrain by Liang Min and me would have been enough to turn us into dried-up corpses, but none of that happened. At most, the superbrain's load caused our bodies to break down."

"The function of the super brain auxiliary device is to fully activate the potential of the super brain, while also taking on the burden of the super brain on the physical body. It can not only greatly increase the duration of the super brain world, but also allow the super brain world to be used without hindrance before a certain number of times. Most importantly... your super brain world will reveal its true nature... When I used it for the first time, I even felt that I could punch the universe to pieces!"

This is the super brain auxiliary device that Chu Minghao explicitly mentioned. The Dragon Rider system is simpler: a quantum-state light energy weapon, usually paired with large mechs, and also available in a single-soldier form. It is a telekinetic weapon that only the super brain can use.

The Superbrain Assist Device was not created by any person or organization. The End Producer was the creator of the Superbrain Assist Device, and its structure and mechanism of action are also unknown. To put it simply, why this thing can assist the Superbrain, why its structure is the way it is, and what these structures actually represent are all unknown. Unfortunately, after the End Producer incident, even though various forces frantically conducted research on it, the only conclusion they came to was... we don't know.

Just like the superbrain itself, how the main brain was born and what its mechanism of birth is are also unknown.

So even by the time of World War IV, the three super brain aids produced—one for Chu Minghao, one for Liang Min, and one for Xu Wanfang—remained incomprehensible. What's even stranger is that these three super brain aids only matched the characteristics of their users, and their essence seemed to be a living thing that would adjust its internal structure on its own.

In short, the creation of this thing is like opening a blind box, giving it a high-tech feel.

"...I've always kept my promise to you in mind."

Xu Ruonan followed Wu Pifu to the lounge. As she walked, she said, "I've been arranging for people to recreate the super brain aid. Thanks to my cousin Xu Wanfang, the Xu family does have the blueprints and manufacturing data for the super brain aid. But this thing... you should have consulted President Chu Minghao and Mr. Liang Min, right?"

Wu Pifu nodded, and Xu Ruonan smiled easily: "That's fine then. This thing is similar to black box manipulation. Every super brain auxiliary device that can be manufactured seems to be destined to be born. My family's engineers and scientists are already frantically rushing to make progress, but every time there is new progress, it is when you come back from the dream world, like this time."

Wu Pifu walked into the lounge without saying a word. He poured himself a glass of wine and then looked at Xu Ruonan, signaling her to continue.

Xu Ruonan casually found a chair to sit down before continuing, "The best material for the super brain aid is the brain tissue of a latent super brain, but it's impossible to get it now. Even if we could, we wouldn't dare to. So we have to find a substitute. Fortunately, the main brain can judge the items and materials in the dream world. With this, my family members can finally find a substitute... But, as you should know, the more precious an item is in the dream world, the greater the danger it poses, or the more powerful the body tissue of a superhuman being. Either way, it requires a huge price to obtain."

Wu Pifu hesitated for a moment and said, "...Zero Point Seven Dream World?"

The immense danger and the powerful, extraordinary life forms—when these two elements were combined with the Zero Point Seven Dream World, Wu Pifu felt a strong sense of fantasy.

It's like someone telling him that the kindergarten final exam was really hard, when he was preparing for his graduate thesis defense.

Xu Ruonan rolled her eyes repeatedly, and said angrily, "That's why I really hate you supercomputers!! What do you think? Currently, our human exploration and activities in the dream world are mainly concentrated in the 0.9 Dream World, okay!?"

Wu Pifu hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Where are Chu Yuyan and Haocheng? They went down to the 0.6 Dream World a long time ago. Now... I forgot to ask before, have they tried to enter the 0.5 Dream World?"

Xu Ruonan was speechless, her eyes almost rolling back in her head. She took several deep breaths and said, "No, Mr. Wu, I need to correct a few common-sense mistakes you made. First of all, Chu Yuyan's team is a top-tier team among the Night Watchers of human civilization. Do you understand what a top-tier team means? It means that among the nearly 100,000 Night Watchers, you can hardly find another team like Chu Yuyan's. Even if you add up all the extraordinary individuals in Gao Changgong's guild, you can't find another one like him!"

"Secondly, even Chu Yuyan's team suffered heavy casualties when trying to enter the Zero Point Six Dream World. If it weren't for your sudden appearance and your intrusion into that dream world, Chu Yuyan herself might not be alive!"

"Finally, even a top-tier team like Chu Yuyan's is currently mostly exploring and accumulating experience in the Zero Point Seven Dream World. At least from the information I know, they don't have any plans to re-enter the Zero Point Six Dream World. By the way, another team you're familiar with, Lin Nianzhi and Wang Yihui's team, recruited more than a dozen Night Watchmen. I heard that they suffered a great loss in a Zero Point Seven Dream World more than a month ago, with six Night Watchmen dying on the spot!"

Wu Pifu was still somewhat incredulous, and asked uncertainly, "The 0.7 Dream World?"

“That’s right!” Xu Ruonan was truly enraged. She stood up, hands on her hips, and said to Wu Pifu, “Do you really have no self-awareness at all?! Do you know how terrifying the Zero Point Seven Dream World is?! Don’t act like we’re so weak! The sources of pollution in the Zero Point Seven Dream World are often capable of destroying armies and cities. Their numbers are almost meaningless in front of them. The high-tech weapons we brought down often can’t penetrate their defenses, and our supernatural powers are far too weak compared to them! You… you’re really driving me crazy!”

At this moment, Gao Changgong also entered the lounge. After listening to Xu Ruonan's words for a while, he roughly understood what was going on. He then sat down next to Wu Pifu with a wry smile, took out a cigar from the table drawer, and said while roasting the cigar, "This time I really have to stand on Miss Xu Ruonan's side... Brother Wu, I really think you have no common sense at all."

Wu Pifu knows his own situation; he is the product of countless personality iterations, so he often lacks common sense.

Gao Changgong said, "Our technological weapons are less effective in lower-level dream worlds, or even unusable. Only supernatural power can be used consistently, but our supernatural power is too weak. Also, don't underestimate the Zero Point Seven Dream World. Anyone who can establish a sanctuary in the Zero Point Seven Dream World is the elite of the elite among us humans. The reason is... the title!"

Wu Pifu was taken aback, then immediately nodded, knowing that he already knew.

In the Dream World of Zero Point Nine, the highest level a shelter can be established is Level Three, Zero Point Eight is Level Four, and Zero Point Seven is Level Five. Only by establishing a Level Five shelter can one obtain a title.

At the same time, the first title is the one that best suits the recipient, that is, their birth title.

For example, Wu Pifu's title of "commoner" is the core of all his combat modes and the center of all his extraordinary systems. Having or not having the title of "commoner" is a qualitative change for him.

Seeing Wu Pifu's expression, Xu Ruonan and Gao Changgong both felt a pang of sadness. Xu Ruonan sighed and said, "That's why I really hate you Superbrains... For us, the Zero Point Seven Dream World is a desperate situation that requires us to risk our lives to enter, but for you, for Chu Minghao, for Liang Min, it's an absolutely safe place, like a backyard, ahhhhh..."

Seeing Xu Ruonan start to scream meaninglessly, Gao Changgong shrugged helplessly and said, "Although what Miss Xu Ruonan said wasn't very pleasant, it's the truth. Brother Wu, according to last month's statistics, there are only fifty-one people in all of humanity who have titles. Chu Yuyan's team alone has four titles. My guild has hundreds of Night Watchers, but only seven of them have titles. Then Lin Nianzhi and Wang Yihui's team only have two titles. The other people you know have titles... Now you understand the significance and difficulty of the Zero Point Seven Dream World for us, right?"

Wu Pifu then nodded silently.

Xu Ruonan said angrily, "So, are you going to help me fight that extraordinary monster or not? Yes, killing this monster would benefit me, as I have my eye on its unhatched eggs, which can be used as summoned beasts for my extraordinary system. But this extraordinary monster can indeed be used as material for your super brain auxiliary device. In short, are you going to help me or not?"

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I need to go back to my Zero Point Seven Dream World. There are still a few of my team members inside. I'm afraid something might happen to them if I don't go back for a long time. And... never mind, I'll help you deal with this monster in three days. I also have a lot of things to do here."

Xu Ruonan then turned her anger into joy, and finally snorted and walked away with her head held high.

After Xu Ruonan left, Gao Changgong smiled wryly and said to Wu Pifu, "Brother Wu, you haven't adjusted your mindset yet."

"What?"

Wu Pifu asked in confusion.

Gao Changgong then said meaningfully, "You are a superbrain, and you are a superbrain whose strength has been verified... Let me put it this way, you are our human civilization's ultimate strategic weapon, a trump card that can only be revealed in the strategic decisive battle phase. You, Chu Minghao, Liang Min, the three of you..."

"You three are suppressing the very foundation of our human civilization..."

"It is the very origin of humanity!"
