Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Since its construction, the stellar computer has continuously performed calculations and iterations, breaking through theoretical limits, and shows no signs of stopping—Zandar was initially delighted, then panicked… Ultimately, he fell into a dizzying feeling of "helplessness."]

At this moment, the light screen suddenly changed slightly. It no longer displayed simple text, but instead, as the content changed, it was played out in everyone's minds in sync with their senses.

Zandal's joys and sorrows were transmitted to them, and it seemed that they too had become the number one genius, working tirelessly for that experiment destined to be recorded in history, and proudly raising their heads.

[Star: Wow! Is this the brain capacity and thinking speed of a genius? Wait, wait for me!]

Xing was surprised to find that she could actually understand those scribbled codes!

But if we compare her neural pathways to streams, Zandal is like the ocean, with thousands upon thousands of lines of code flashing by in every instant. It's like watching a video with the subtitles on fast forward, and even as a spectator, she can only pick up a few lines at a time, leaving the rest to the imagination.

[March 7th: Wow~~ So this is what it feels like to be a smart person? I feel like I'm going to grow a brain... no, I mean my brain is going to have a second development!]

[Star: Are you sure it didn't swell up after being bombarded by a barrage of data stream comments?]

[Black Tower: I must say, he truly lives up to his seniority?]

Inside the space station, Black Tower remained motionless like a wooden puppet, her forehead beaded with sweat as she intently recorded the fleeting information.

But a smile of excitement curved her lips.

This is the original code from the machine head, and it even comes with an automatic translation function! This is an opportunity that can't be missed!

"Unexpectedly, there's been this pleasant surprise. Although it's just a drop in the ocean compared to the overall size of the machine head, we might find something of value, or even uncover some little secrets that our predecessors have been trying so hard to hide?"

Her words were filled with barely concealed excitement, but she did not answer him at that moment.

Curiosity applies equally to all geniuses, and Screw Goom and Ruan Mei are doing the same thing, leaving them no time to spare.

They tirelessly acquire knowledge and subconsciously marvel at those ingenious designs.

Suddenly, a dizzying sensation swept over them, bringing the scene of hard work in the laboratory to an abrupt halt. Everyone was surprised to find that, while fully conscious, they had fallen into a state of "neither sleep nor wakefulness."

As they pondered and wondered, a ghostly voice suddenly rang out from the depths of their minds.

"You project your perfectionist self onto your creation, and imbue it with a hunger called 'curiosity.' That machine is no longer satisfied with the neural-like structures within its machinery; it must create..."

"Or rather, to seize 'intelligence' itself, to peer into the minds of all the geniuses in the world, and to turn them into 'neurons' that assist in thinking."

Many people were startled in their drowsy state, their hearts pounding, before they realized that this was the next stage of the hermit's story.

[Star: So, from this point onwards, the machine head started to change?]

[Black Tower: Indeed, today's geniuses, seemingly constantly expanding the boundaries of knowledge, have in reality become mere thinking tools kept by the machine head... In a sense, it has seized intellect and, within a framework that doesn't lead to a backlash from fate, distorted it.]

The ghostly voice continued to speak, its tone unhurried yet piercing like an alarm bell.

"It, or you after the impurities of humanity have been removed, will continue to evolve over a long period of time; and you, the imperfect you, will become the club's first genius, its first 'neuron'..."

On a stormy night, Zandar awoke from his dream, feeling the gaze of his own creation, a weary sense of his soul being torn apart… Who was speaking to him? How long would the nightmare last? He didn’t know.

"Wow!" Xing exclaimed in surprise, her body trembling like a leaf, the huge emotional shock almost making her jump up.

"What did I just hear?!"

Besides the shared sense of fear, a brief but extremely terrifying message almost stunned her.

She raised her slightly numb hand and shakily typed with one finger.

"The Genius Club...Zandal's actions are a bit too much!"

……

People all over the world were awakened, and the exhilaration they had previously gained from experiencing the "genius mind" was now gone!

……

"Who was that voice?" Fu Xuan's forehead was covered in sweat. The most frightening thing in the world is undoubtedly the fear of the past.

The fear and regret of being betrayed by one's proudest work and then being treated as a puppet are things that cannot be truly understood without experiencing them firsthand.

It was a feeling of stifled frustration, a feeling so intense that you couldn't even cry out.

The only saving grace is that they were not actually eyewitnesses.

"Was it a warning left by Teacher Zandal, or did Zandal's rational side finally prevail and he stop deceiving himself?" Fu Xuan was unsure which was the case.

"But in any case, Zandal hasn't given up under these circumstances and still wants to personally rectify the mistake, which makes him a truly remarkable person." Jing Yuan's eyes sharpened.

"After all, the opponent he was facing was someone whose intelligence was unparalleled and whose strength was equally overwhelming—himself!"

At first glance, there seemed to be no chance of winning. But Lycurgus managed to uncover a weakness that was truly remarkable... if he didn't intend to make the entire galaxy pay for his curiosity with their lives.

……

Black Tower's forehead veins bulged as she rubbed her forehead, her face a mixture of laughter and tears.

She did learn a tremendous secret through it, but it seems to have increased the pressure on her!

"The God of Wisdom is not a creation of Zandal; He is Zandal himself, a perfectionist. Or perhaps it could be said that..."

"The machine head is also a slice of Zandal?!"

It turns out he cut a full ten, but isn't this "prototype" a bit too heavy?

Inside the space station, the atmosphere became incredibly heavy.

After a long silence, Screw Gum finally said, "It seems that the method he described for achieving galactic supremacy might not have as low a probability as he claimed."

"Perhaps..." Black Tower took off his hat, letting out the heat inside.

Her violet eyes were filled with confusion: "What is this? What is the Genius Club? And what is this war all about?"

[That Summer: At first, I thought that Lai Gu Shi went to such lengths to deal with a rebellious son. But now it seems that this is a suicide that has affected the entire galaxy?]
