Those who reincarnate must die.

"Beautiful!" the virtual mind couldn't help but exclaim. "I never imagined that an altar could be blackmailed by a reincarnator!"

"This is not a threat, just a reminder!"

Zhang Lang replied calmly. (Google search reading)

"Oh..." Xu Tingwen seemed to understand as well: "My abilities and your existence are both unexpected factors for the altar. In order to conceal its own existence, it will intervene sooner or later. It's just that our appearance caused the altar's plan to deviate, and its reaction was a little slower..."

"If you hadn't warned me, the altar here would have made your abilities public. Tianluo Company would obviously be interested in your abilities, and your records would have been fully accessed, including information about your original identity. In that case, you wouldn't be able to hide the fact that you suddenly gained superpowers!"

Xu continued his analysis: "Of course, by then, the altar will have a way to rationalize everything, but the energy required then will be far greater than changing the mind of a mere doctor now! As for you, while the source of your power will be rationalized, the fact that you've piqued the interest of the big shots won't change, and you'll still face many troubles in this mission!"

"It seems your suggestion is the optimal solution, a win-win situation for both the altar and you!"

The analysis was completely correct. Zhang Lang just smiled. At this moment, Dr. Zhao in front of him was ready and began to use the instrument to install a brain chip for him.

"You just asked me why I'm wearing a brain chip..." Dr. Zhao chatted casually while comparing Zhang Lang's skull shape and entering data.

Zhang Lang was slightly taken aback, not expecting this beautiful female PhD to strike up a conversation with him, so he could only casually reply, "Why?"

"Because I'm a genius..." Dr. Zhao smiled slightly, "This isn't boasting, I'm a true genius!"

Seeing her relaxed demeanor, Zhang Lang felt as if he were facing a completely different person.

The virtual voice explained in his mind, "Because of the altar's intervention, Dr. Zhao has gained your trust and opened her heart, becoming willing to share some relatively private topics... Women, once they consider you a friend, will chatter on and on..."

Zhang Lang nodded, looking at the woman in front of him who was busy at the same time chatting with him, listening to her tell her story.

"As you know, we are not born with brain chips implanted in us... In fact, due to the unique physiological structure of humans, our fetuses do not develop to full maturity in the womb before being delivered. This is why, compared to the fragile human infants, the infants of other mammals can move freely very quickly after birth."

"Strictly speaking, all humans are premature babies..."

"It's not just about mobility; a newborn's brain is also incompletely developed, and even the skull hasn't closed yet. Performing brain chip implantation surgery at this time is extremely dangerous! Even if it's successful by chance, it can cause various problems during the rapid development of the infant later on, and there's a very high probability that it will cause permanent brain damage... Generally speaking, after birth, the human brain develops rapidly, and by the age of seven, the brain volume will reach about 85% of an adult's. Only at this point is the surgery considered safe."

"Therefore, the law stipulates that children must be at least eight years old to undergo brain chip implantation. This coincides with the time when children begin to receive relatively complex education, making brain chips essential for assisting their learning!"

"Of course, in order not to delay their children's studies, the vast majority of parents will have their children undergo brain chip implantation as early as possible, within the scope permitted by law. Generally, they will not delay until after the age of ten..."

At this point, Dr. Zhao stood up and gestured for Zhang Lang to lie down on the operating table.

Although a brain-extracorporeal chip is needed, to successfully connect to the brain, it is also necessary to understand the condition inside the skull, which means taking an X-ray.

Zhang Lang cooperated fully, and during the examination, he looked at Dr. Zhao's brain chip: "But you're an exception?"

Dr. Zhao smiled slightly and nodded, operating the instrument as he said, "Yes, when I went for a checkup when I was eight years old, I was told that I was not suitable for brain chip implantation..."

"Generally speaking, children who are not suitable for brain chip implantation are often those with poor brain development or certain special neurological diseases... They are basically considered to be mentally challenged or have insufficient intelligence..."

The scan was complete, and the massive instrument was removed from Zhang Lang's head. Zhang Lang sat up, straightening his collar as he casually remarked, "I've heard a term before: brain-dead..."

Dr. Zhao paused for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Although it doesn't sound like a good word, it is indeed quite apt."

"However, it is clear that I am not brain-dead; in fact, I can be described as an extremely intelligent prodigy. But precisely because I am so intelligent, my brain development is different from that of ordinary people, and the implantation surgery that is suitable for the general public would be very risky for me... But no matter how intelligent I am, the computing and storage capacity of the human brain cannot compare with that of an electronic chip, so... I can only wear this external brain chip, which in the eyes of ordinary people symbolizes... brain-dead."

"But at that time, I was still young. Although my father told me that I was very smart, at school, wearing such a device would still make me look like an idiot to my classmates. At that time, I suffered scorn and discrimination... Brain chips can improve the brain's computing power and memory, but they do not make people mature. Being smart and being wise are actually two different things."

Zhang Lang nodded in agreement. This was the effect of water attribute enhancement. Although it resulted in faster reaction time and better memory, it did not mean that people with high water attribute would not do foolish things!

Even the most brilliant child prodigy, if raised by wild beasts, will only become a cunning beast. Even an ordinary person, if given a good education, will at least become a normal human being.

Intelligence determines a person's upper limit, but upbringing and experience determine a person's lower limit.

Zhang Lang inadvertently revealed his thoughts, and Dr. Zhao was taken aback for a moment before laughing:

"Mr. Zhang is also a thoughtful person!"

Zhang Lang shook his head inwardly; he had only experienced it firsthand. However, he was also somewhat surprised that he, usually so silent, would actually offer his opinion to this beautiful female PhD student…

"What, are you interested?" Xu teased Zhang Lang in his heart. "Well-mannered, beautiful, great figure, stable job, high income... she's definitely a marriage prospect worth considering. She seems a few years older than you, but it doesn't matter, a woman three years older is a lucky charm!"

Zhang Lang shook his head inwardly: "It's just been a long time since anyone has spoken to me like this..."

Before experiencing the apocalypse, Zhang Lang was not an indifferent person. He was just like any other person, facing life every day, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and striving for tomorrow and his dreams.

But that disaster changed everything, leaving him alone in the desolate world, increasingly isolated, even when he entered bustling mission worlds, his mind was filled with killing...

Those reincarnated beings whom he treats as prey will not sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with him!

"I'd almost forgotten what it feels like to chat with someone face-to-face..." Zhang Lang's hidden tenderness was rekindled. Even Lian Xu stopped teasing and remained silent.

"It's done!"

At this moment, Dr. Zhao removed the newly finalized brain-surgical chip device from the instrument:

"You can try connecting. But I have to warn you, wearing this might get you some disapproving looks! I remember when I was a kid, a parent went to the school to protest that they put a mentally challenged child in the same class as her. It wasn't until later, when that 'mentally challenged' child got the highest score in the class, putting her 'smart' child down, that parent finally gave up!"

Dr. Zhao smiled and handed over the brain chip. Zhang Lang reached out and took it, saying, "Don't worry, I'll prove it with my actions!" With that, he put on the device following Dr. Zhao's instructions.
