Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 9 Underground Research Institute
Qiu Ci had expected finding the research institute to be difficult, but she hadn't expected it to be a forbidden area. She couldn't help but wonder if the institute had already been discovered by the Xuantian Sect, hence its prohibition. After all, this continent was so hostile to Chinese, let alone technology from Blue Star.

She considered just going there, but the risk of being exposed was enormous. However, the research institute was right in front of her, and she couldn't let it go. The data originally belonged to Blue Star, and as the only Blue Star person, it was normal for her to have this data.

And the longer she delays, the harder it will be to succeed. After all, she is only a preparatory disciple now. Even if she is discovered, she can still use her identity as a newcomer to cover it up.

In addition, there is a dog system. Even if it is a bare machine, the scanning function that comes with it is still very powerful.

[Ding! Scan completed, optimal route calculated. Please go straight 200 meters along the current road to enter the teleportation formation.]

A row of green arrows appeared before Qiu Ci's eyes, and she immediately quickened her pace, heading in the direction indicated by the system. It had to be said that the dog system was still very powerful at this time, accurately helping her avoid everyone and plan the safest route.

This made her original plan of pretending to be lost useless. The key point was that it bypassed the range of Qianren Peak and went directly to the forbidden area from the left rear. Although it took twice as long, it was indeed safe.

Qiu Ci's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed until she walked into a deep and dense forest.

【Ding, you have arrived at your destination. 】

The green arrow in front of you disappears.

Is this a forbidden area?

Qiu Ci looked around, and all he could see were trees, with no signs of any man-made buildings. Not to mention a research institute, it didn't even look like a cemetery!
"System, where is the research institute?"

"Master, the location is indeed here." A small ball of light flew out, circling the surroundings. "Perhaps the correct entrance hasn't been found yet. After studying all the anti-detection programs, the system is unable to scan and locate. Only the great Master can find the entrance."

“…” How is she going to find it?
Qiu Ci frowned, looked around but didn't find any suspected entrance, so he had to walk further in. Until he saw the huge rock in front of him, he stopped suddenly.

Well, she actually found it.

()
I saw a huge pattern carved on the boulder, with a running stickman drawn in a green frame.

Isn’t this the sign for a safe passage?

This is a bit too obvious!
Qiu Ci's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but reach out and press the safe passage icon. The next moment, a mechanical electronic sound came to his ears.

[Ding ding, the gene identification is correct! ]

Then the place where she was standing suddenly shook, and there was a creaking sound like some machinery running. The ground suddenly sank down. Her eyes went dark and a strong feeling of weightlessness came over her. Was she... falling?

The research institute is underground?!

Qiu Ci was startled. There was only the whistling sound of the wind beside him. This feeling of weightlessness lasted for several minutes before it stopped.

She vaguely felt that she had reached the bottom, but it was still pitch black as far as the eye could see, and she could not see anything.

"It's too dark, can't you turn on a light?" she said casually.

Bang!

There was a crisp sound, and a white light flashed before my eyes, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

In an instant, the white light became brighter, illuminating the surroundings brighter than during the day.

The light is really on!

Qiu Ci looked around in surprise, only to find a vast expanse of white space. Unlike the quaint buildings outside, this space was clearly constructed of steel and metal, materials she was more familiar with. In front of her stood a series of gigantic instruments she had never seen before. As the lights came on, the instruments, like awakened giants, began to operate, and rows of colorful indicator lights lit up one after another.

Especially in the air, translucent light screens popped up one after another, like an open book, with rows of completely incomprehensible data and graphics appearing on them, just like the scenes of future laboratories in science fiction movies.

[Welcome back, Master!] An electronic voice, completely different from the dog's system, suddenly sounded.

Qiu Ci was startled and looked around but didn't see the same small light ball as the system. The sound seemed to come from all directions.

"who are you?"

[I am the central control intelligent system of Institute E5810, affiliated with the federal government's research institute, responsible for the control and operation of all data in this institute.]

"Are you the main brain system of this research institute?"

【Yes Master! 】

"Why do you call me Master?" The system is bound to her, so it is sensible to call her Master. Why does the main brain of this research institute also call her Master?

Because you are a Blue Star person, after the collective ascension of Blue Star, your gene sequence became the highest sequence, and the only sequence. Your command is naturally the highest command of the main brain. Not only me, but all Blue Star products in the underlying basic protocol, those who possess Blue Star genes also have the highest command.

"So, as long as it's a product of Blue Star, I can control it?" There is such a good thing!
【Yes Master! 】

"Doesn't that mean I'm the only one who inherited the entire Blue Star's inheritance?" And the kind that doesn't require paying taxes.

【Yes! 】

Why does it feel like my entire family has died out, and I'm just passively inheriting the estate? Is this compensation for those left behind?

Qiu Ci glanced at the various high-tech devices around him with mixed feelings, then asked, "Master Brain, do you have any data on immortal cultivation here? Can you upgrade my system?"

"Of course!" the main brain continued its mechanical response. Compared to the overly human and somewhat noisy dog system, the main brain of this research institute was clearly more rigid and mechanical. "E5810 contains all the data on Blue Planet's early spiritual energy research. The owner can directly transfer it."

As it finished speaking, a light screen suddenly popped up in front of her eyes. A circular space was separated in the middle of the light screen, and green data kept flashing around it.

"Dog system, come here!" She waved at the small ball of light that was flying around curiously.

[Okay, Master!] The little ball of light flew back.

Qiu Ci grabbed it and stuffed it directly into the middle of the light curtain. The size was just right. With a few beeps, the strings of data immediately spread to the system light ball, and the entire light ball began to emit flickering green light.

[Master, E5810 has a genetic enhancement pool. Would you like to perform a simultaneous cleansing of the tendons and marrow to increase its compatibility with spiritual energy?]

"If there is such a function, then let's go!" Qiu Ci did not refuse and nodded directly.

The next moment, the metal on the left suddenly opened, revealing a passage. Following the main brain's guidance, she arrived in front of a pool, which was surrounded by a large area of pale golden mist, and the water was even more golden. She couldn't tell what it was made of, but after just standing there for a moment, she felt a sense of shock.

She walked directly into the pool without hesitation, and immediately felt a tingling sensation all over her body, like an electric shock, as if something was seeping into her veins bit by bit, washing away something over and over again. But the amazing thing was that she did not feel any pain, instead she felt drowsy and fell asleep.

Then, she really fell asleep...
