Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 46 AlphaGo, pays respects to the Lord!

"Anyone below the rank of General, leave!"

"Don't make me say it a second time!"

Jiang Zhe's cold gaze swept across the entire room, and no one dared to disobey his orders. The women that the old man had sent over left one after another.

Only one little girl remained, clenching her fists and biting her lip. After her sisters left one by one, she was left standing there helplessly.

Jiang Zhe asked coldly, "Who are you? Why aren't you leaving?"

"I... I'm Lei Lei, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm here at the Jiang Family Martial Arts School to learn the basics." The girl's stubborn eyes mustered her courage as she met Jiang Zhe's gaze.

Butler Wu, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward, wanting to whisper something in Jiang Zhe's ear, but Jiang Zhe stopped him by raising his hand.

Without needing any prompting, he knew who it was just by hearing the name.

Thor's daughter.

That poor girl whose boyfriend was killed by her father because of early romance.

This person cannot be driven away; he should be treated differently. However, he currently has no intention of taking care of the child.

"Uncle, take her to my sister Sisi. Let her teach her for now."

Butler Wu led Lei Lei away, and Jiang Zhe looked at the remaining martial artists, many of whom were familiar faces.

It includes core members of the HR Alliance; members of the military with a tough demeanor; and direct descendants of congressmen and war gods...

There were also a few freelance martial artists who came to him on their own but passed the old man's review.

Jiang Zhe treated them all equally and continued the selection process.

"To learn the techniques of a spiritual master, stand on the left; to learn the power generation techniques of a martial artist, stand on the right."

"Report!" a young man called out.

"explain!"

Jiang Zhe could tell his identity from his upright posture.

"Teacher, if we want to achieve both goals, how should we choose?"

"Do you think I wouldn't consider this possibility? Don't overthink it now, just do as I say!"

"Yes, teacher!"

The young man stepped forward and stood in the open space on the left, setting an example for everyone.

Others followed suit and within ten seconds, they had formed two distinct factions.

What puzzled everyone was that Catlan, the renowned war god-level psychic, stood on the right. Did he look down on the methods of the number one psychic on Earth?

Some people noticed that Jiang Zhe also cast an approving glance at Cattelan, which puzzled them.

Without giving them time to think, Jiang Zhe dropped another bombshell called "Brain Domain Width." Everyone pricked up their ears and focused intently, afraid of missing any important information.

They all understood from the teachings of their respective factions that there were different levels of talent among mentalists, but they never expected that there would be specific methods to quantify it.

Looking at the detector in Jiang Zhe's hand, the adults in their twenties and thirties were so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brain width, 7!"

"Brain width, 5!"

"Brain width, 9!"

"Brain capacity, 13, not bad, on par with Cattelan, but I still don't recommend training as a mentalist."

……

With Earthlings' inferior bloodline, even cultivating genetic energy is a struggle, let alone mental energy, which is even slower to accumulate than the Force.

Earth is currently unable to provide them with nutrient solutions to solve the problem of energy accumulation.

If they were to specialize in mental cultivation, those with a brain span of less than 10 might waste decades without ever reaching the level of a mid-level war god.

It would be better to become a martial artist as soon as possible, cultivate the simpler genetic energy, grind to the planetary level first, and then gain a thousand-year lifespan.

Jiang Zhe asked those with a brain span of less than 10 to leave or integrate into a martial arts group.

No one left; they all chose the second path.

Jiang Zhe gave the three with a brain span of 10 or higher a special "consciousness connector" bracelet, which allowed them to log into the virtual space built by Orianna, similar to the Ares Palace.

Inside, they would receive a copy of his newly compiled "81 Basic Techniques of Spiritual Mastery," far superior to the useless secret manual deduced by Hong's AI.

"Warrior-level, those with a power level below 2, leave!"

"God of War level, those with a power level below 3, leave!"

"A mentalist who ignores the power exertion requirement can stay!"

Gradually, only twenty-three people remained in front of the courtyard after the selection process.

Among them are four war gods and nineteen generals, the oldest of whom is nearly 30 years old. They are the true elite of humankind on Earth.

Jiang Zhe nodded in satisfaction.

Those who can't even understand the first two or four levels of the "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" have absolutely insufficient comprehension to cultivate the complete power-generating secret technique.

After replacing the twenty-three people with ordinary "consciousness connector" bracelets, they were driven away.

The virtual space will be their learning environment from now on, where pre-programmed intelligent programs will guide them.

Each person has a copy of the "New Xingyi Tiger Form (Version 1.0)" manual in their room. Mastering it will allow them to unleash three times the full power.

Speed, strength, defense... all are contained within it, reaching a unified standard in the universe.

Jiang Zhe could certainly devise a secret manual for generating power more than 10 times, but if shown to people on Earth today, very few would be able to learn it.

It would be better to create a bunch of basic manuals, starting from the basics and gradually increasing in complexity, containing the correct principles of application, and rebuild their foundation.

If there is a 1.0 version, there will naturally be upgraded versions 2.0 and 3.0.

The virtual space also contains many auxiliary cultivation equipment from Meteorite Star. Reaching this level does not constitute a leak of Meteorite Star's secret techniques.

Jiang Zhe felt that he had already shown great respect to Teacher Hu Yanbo and Babata.

Back inside, they saw Orianna devouring a piece of B-grade metal into her chest core.

This is her unique cultivation method.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

These star-level metals were all taken from her World Bracelet; they were provisions prepared by the Mechanical Race Immortals for the Tsvika Zerg.

For tens of thousands of years, the Tsvika Zerg have had no production missions, and according to Orianna, they have consumed less than half of their original metal reserves.

Jiang Zhe's face immediately broke into a wide grin.

If your family suddenly found themselves rich, wouldn't you have the funds to travel to space?

Grade B metals, excluding some extremely rare ones, have an average price of about one to several tens of Heilong coins per ton.

As for Grade C... Grade C yttrium metal costs 3,000 Black Dragon Coins per ton, while Grade C silver costs 160 million Black Dragon Coins per ton!

Both of these commonly used metals are stored by the Mech race immortals.

Orianna can steal a little at a time without any problem, but if she takes too much, she will be discovered by the mechanical golems that conduct regular inventory checks.

Therefore, to fully utilize the benefits within the World Bracelet, it is necessary to eliminate that troublesome intelligent life form.

Fortunately, after working hard for half a month, Orianna said the results would be available today.

Jiang Zhe passed by the living room without urging her, and went into the training room to practice the basics of mastery, pondering the nine basic techniques of condensation, resilience, dispersion, sharpness, softness, hardness, dance, illusion, and fusion.

……

Welcome to the Virtual World - Martial Arts Hall!

An electronic prompt sounded in the ears of each user who logged in. They only had time to glance at their private space before they began the beginner's guide from the intelligent program.

After learning about the virtual martial arts hall, everyone looked at the secret manuals on the desk.

After reading the prologue, everyone frowned.

Only 3x power? Am I here to learn this garbage?

Suppressing their impatience, after reading the main text, a row of question marks appeared on everyone's minds.

Oh no, how come I can't even understand garbage anymore?

—? ?? Is this triple the power? How can there be so much information? It's so obscure and hard to understand!

Two or three hours later, the group of more than twenty people stumbled downstairs to experience the various facilities in the martial arts hall that aided in training their power and movement techniques.

After experiencing it, they tasted the benefits and became extremely excited, hiding in their respective training rooms and unwilling to come out.

……

When he walked out of the training room in the evening, Orianna was sitting on the living room sofa, having been waiting for him for who knows how long.

"Looks like it's over. What were the results?"

Orianna raised her hand and swept it across the coffee table, and a basketball-sized, purple-gold mechanical sphere landed on the tempered glass.

Blue light shines outward from the gaps on the surface of the sphere, weaving together to form a mechanical dog half a meter long.

"Woof!"

"Intelligent life form, AlphaGo, pays homage to our lord!"

Jiang Zhe: "..."

He turned to Oriana, his eyes questioning, "Did you invite it to play chess with me?"

"Master, let us show you the whole world inside the bracelet."

Orianna's irrelevant answer directly drew Jiang Zhe's consciousness into the virtual space.

In the void and chaos.

A map, nearly half the size of the city, was presented to Jiang Zhe.

Looking at the scale on the map, Jiang Zhe realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Anna, how big is the world inside the bracelet?"

"Woof!"

"Reporting to my lord, the diameter of the world inside the bracelet is nearly 10 billion kilometers!"
