I am Jinshan Youxia

Even if it's just pure pornography.

He pushed his jumbled thoughts to the back of his mind and continued working. "NO.61 is solved. Let me check the rest..."

As a master of editing, Zhang Chengyi displays ample patience and extremely strong perseverance when faced with tasks that must be done or completed.

Faced with the ever-increasing number of containment objects, he methodically used his various bodies to continuously resolve the issues.

After dealing with the out-of-control rules of the "swamp," time seemed to be fast-forwarded for him. With the sun rising and the moon setting, apart from occasionally checking on the situation of the lunar colony, he worked around the clock with his dozen or so bodies. In just over a month, he had almost completely sorted out and categorized all the items he had collected from various parts of Japan.

By the time he was mostly free, the second phase of lunar colonization was just completed.

The main problem was that a lot of issues arose along the way.

Some of the troubles are caused by mushrooms, such as the limited manned capacity of the Airplane Mushroom, which would force ordinary people to become infected with the mushroom flora, and the temporary mental rampage of the Airplane Mushroom, etc.

Some were discovered on Earth. For example, changes in the Moon's gravity have caused many natural disasters on Earth, such as tsunamis and earthquakes. Microbial symbiotes have spread throughout the world. In some countries, many organizations and groups have emerged that resist the church and microbial symbiotes. Some people have even gone to Japan to carry out terrorist attacks.

Religious issues, interest issues, political issues—it's all very complicated, even for someone like Keiichi Matsui, it's a real headache.

Chapter 346 Mind Hacker

"Let me see what the latest news is..."

Zhang Chengyi began reviewing the Mind Network from the very beginning when he was completely immersed in dealing with contained objects.

Around the time when the Aero-Mushroom had just begun its research and development, he was already preoccupied with other matters, his entire being busy with the troubles caused by the containment object.

That was about four months ago.

First, the church and security forces ruled Japan, and the public announcement that symbiotic bacteria could grant superpowers caused a sensation across all social classes and ages in Japan.

Rejuvenation, flying, telekinesis, mind reading... a wide variety of extraordinary bacteria have been published on the church's official website, and the church has also published a book specifically introducing the abilities of various extraordinary bacteria.

Superpowers have lessened humanity's fear of transplanted microbiota, making the vast majority of people eager to try it.

Birth, aging, illness, and death are no longer problems; media outlets are constantly touting that humanity is about to solve all problems and enter an ideal era.

The small society, maintained by the church, the security forces, and the earliest microbial symbiotes, was almost effortlessly disrupted and deformed by the onslaught of the entire Japanese society.

Everyone was racking their brains to obtain the extraordinary bacteria, but since they hadn't contributed anything, they had to find other ways—

Serving extraordinary microbial symbionts.

Once the first person couldn't resist the allure of a beautiful woman throwing herself at him and released his extraordinary bacteria, many more common bacteria quickly spread throughout society.

Some people even shouted slogans like "Extraordinary power belongs to all mankind."

Within the Mind Network, the earliest responses to this message were mocking, but later there were many arguments and debates, and it has now become the node with the most participants in the debates within the Mind Network.

Keiichi Matsui's investigation revealed that other countries were behind the incident, and while he punished those countries that initiated it, he was unable to stop the situation from escalating.

Even if any symbiotic member of an extraordinary microbial community would instinctively submit to Zhang Chengyi, the leader of the microbial community, anyone can just talk the talk without actually seeing him.

This group of anti-church people are not truly against God, but rather against the church not allowing them to freely choose extraordinary bacteria. The church opposes them simply because it dislikes newcomers for not following the rules they have established.

A pure struggle for interests.

But once it's been pushed to this point, it's completely unstoppable.

Ironically, the first people in Japanese society to obtain the bacteria quickly mastered the contribution system, abandoned the yen, and began to use contributions to block the spread of the extraordinary bacteria, because no matter how much they hated the church, contributions were the only way to obtain the extraordinary bacteria from the laboratory.

Even though a group of people selflessly spread the bacteria everywhere, they all became wanted criminals about two months ago.

Next, the extraordinary bacteria were leaked to the whole world. At this point, many common extraordinary bacteria no longer had any room for secrecy and could be bought without any contribution. They could be bought with some human currency. As for contributions? They were used to purchase special bacteria and mushrooms produced in the laboratory, which were more high-end than regular currency.

On the MindNetwork, there's practically no market for what's available. Everyone's buying, and there's no tacit agreement to compete with each other. They're just waiting for a researcher or investigator to make a contribution and then sell it off due to a lack of other resources or services.

An interesting black market has now formed, with exchange services offered on MindNet, the internet, and in many physical stores in various cities.

One peculiar investigator even wrote a paper specifically about the impact of extraordinary bacteria on ordinary human society.

He also received investment from Keiichi Matsui and has been promoted to a secret officer in the Investigation Department.

There are countless articles on the Mind Network about the impact of extraordinary bacteria on human society. Zhang Chengyi was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. Although he had multiple bodies and could browse through them more quickly, it still took him more than three hours to finish reading all the information.

He discovered that all the messages about the laboratory, the police force, the investigation agency, and a large number of platforms involved in the transactions had stopped three days ago. At the same time, he found groups of vague messages sent to him by Keiichi Matsui and Goro Furuhata, and someone posted messages about mind hackers on some obvious psychic network nodes.

Tampering with the mind network?

“Interesting…” A smile of interest appeared on his face.

-----------------

Human desires caused Zhang Chengyi, this "mold," to go out of control, and his rules spread throughout the world in just two months. If he had even the slightest evil intention, humanity would probably have been wiped out.

Tokyo, Research Agency.

"Knock knock~"

"Please come in."

Matsui Kei put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his temples, and realized that the trouble caused by the extraordinary power spreading from Japan to the whole world was unprecedented.

The most troublesome thing is that they could have used force to forcibly rule humanity and the earth, but on the one hand, ruling is easy but governing is difficult, and on the other hand, they have to consider their gods.

"Lord Matsui, here's the information for this week."

The investigator who came in put down a new stack of documents, looking quite uncomfortable.

It's normal to feel uncomfortable. Just three days ago, they were still using paperless offices and communicating entirely through telepathy, able to exchange thoughts and ideas instantly even across half the globe.

Now, however, we can only communicate through words and documents.

Matsui Keiichi flipped through the files, noticing that the [Mind Hacker] file was still blank, and asked wearily, "Still no news about this guy?"

He knew this was destined to be a pointless question, and it was also his own self-answering of a question.

The investigator lowered his head and remained silent.

The mind hacker is the key to the problem with the mind network. That guy has a strange understanding and application of mind abilities that is beyond ordinary people. His name, age, gender and appearance are all unknown. He just suddenly appears in the mind network one day and plays pranks by tampering with the thoughts sent by others during mind transmission.

For example, the first unlucky guy who was targeted sent a message to his friend that was altered to express his love. Tragically, his same-sex friend not only came to him immediately but also accepted the offer.

After that, this mind hacker became increasingly audacious, recklessly interfering with other people's normal communication and transactions, and probing into their minds. Theoretically, all of his/her actions were just pranks, but for many organizations and legitimate communication, pranks are a serious form of harm.

Whether the mind hacker failed to understand this point or simply ignored it, their behavior became increasingly outrageous, and they cracked the passwords on the mind network faster and faster. Until three days ago, various organizations around the world had to abandon the mind network, a useful communication tool built on the mushroom system, and return to the inefficient communication methods of the past.

"Come see me immediately." A familiar voice rang in Matsui Keiichi's ear. His face lit up with joy, and he said respectfully:

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chapter 347 Double One

In a dimly lit room in the Fukasawa residential area of ​​Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Hehehe~ chatter chatter chatter"

A chilling laugh echoed through the room, and the mental network, invisible to ordinary people, was fluctuating violently and abnormally.

With a "whoosh," the shoji door was suddenly pulled open, and under the light of the corridor, a dark-circled boy with greasy hair, a pale face, and a nail dangling from his mouth looked at the doorway in astonishment.

"Souichi, come out and eat!"

The boy standing in the corridor crossed his arms and said, "I've called you several times, don't waste everyone's time."

The boy with dark circles under his eyes, Shuangyi, quickly put the iron nail in his mouth and impatiently transmitted his thoughts: "Gongyi, didn't I tell you that I have to cultivate alone every morning and not disturb me?"

"Cultivation my ass!" Gong Yi exclaimed angrily. "I just asked the investigator yesterday, and she said that people with psychic abilities don't need cultivation at all! Nor do they need undisturbed cultivation time!"

[Damn it, that talkative guy!]

Shuangyi, with a nail in her mouth and a face full of resentment, still obediently stood up and followed her older brother out to eat.

The emergence of his extraordinary abilities granted him exceptional mental powers, but also gave him extremely poor adaptability to enhanced microbiome.

He can command the wind and rain in the mind network, but in reality, his older brother Gong Yi, who has a MAX adaptability to the enhanced bacteria and psychic bacteria, can pin him to the ground and make him unable to move with just one finger.

He acquired the extraordinary microbiome too late, and its strength and depth were both too weak. He could only rely on the mental abilities that underwent benign mutations after implantation to cause trouble through the mental network, and his influence in reality was quite poor.

Incidentally, many organizations have already given up on communication on the Mind Network, and he now almost loses his ability to wield influence on it.

Shuangyi walked downstairs with a gloomy expression.

The mother, who looked to be only thirty years old, wore an apron and used her telekinesis to slowly place the tableware on the table, calling out, "Gongyi, Shuangyi, come and eat."

"Damn it, this mind hacker is so annoying! The police should arrest him right away!"

The younger father, holding a newspaper, angrily slammed his fist on the table.

In ordinary society, most people have not yet applied to or come into contact with psychic networks. The root cause is that most people are simply not compatible with psychic individuals. On the contrary, newspapers, television and other media have used psychic individuals to achieve faster information dissemination, which is faster and more accurate than the news broadcasts of the past, and has become an even more important channel for information acquisition than ever before.

The world that everyone thought would undergo dramatic changes is actually not much different from the changes in the past. This is mainly due to the strong suppression by the police and the church, which has made the transition between the ordinary past and the extraordinary future in Japanese society very smooth.

Some already chaotic areas nearly descended into a battle royale after the introduction of the supernatural bacteria, but thanks to the strong intervention of security forces and the United Nations, they are now much more peaceful than before.

As for why the security forces work with the United Nations to maintain stability around the world, that's something most people don't quite understand.

However, due to the recent psychic hacking incident, many newspapers have slowed down their previous practice of publishing daily and being filled with a large amount of useful information from around the world. Even if they can barely maintain one publication a day, the amount of information has dropped significantly. After receiving too many complaints, they can only publish the major events that have recently occurred on the psychic network.

The mind hacker, who was originally known only within certain organizations, has become a notorious villain known worldwide.

When Shuangyi heard her father cursing the mind hacker, she proudly puffed out her chest.

Gongyi said dismissively, "Since he's a psychic like Shuangyi, it's normal for him to be an annoying person."

He harbored a deep prejudice against his younger brother, and by extension, believed that other psychic beings also enjoyed playing pranks and causing trouble.

Shuangyi immediately spat out the iron nail from his mouth and chewed on it, making a crunching sound.

But obviously no one paid attention to him. In this family, he was often ignored in various ways, not because everyone disliked him, but simply because he had been playing pranks since he was very young, which made him unlikable. He was also particularly withdrawn, so everyone was used to ignoring his actions, expressions, and behavior.

This was true even at school; with such a strange personality, he couldn't fit into any group at all.

"Let's eat." The mother patted Shuangyi's head with a complicated tone. In her opinion, her youngest son, who was almost incompatible with any bacterial species and had not shown any special talent in the mental bacterial species, might be a bit worrying for the future.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Matsui, I completely forgot to prepare your meal."

She looked up and suddenly said with annoyance.

Matsui? Where is this Mr. Matsui?!

Shuangyi stared intently at the strange man who had suddenly appeared at the dining table and sat next to her father.

"Don't be nervous." Mr. Matsui took an elegant sip of the tea that had appeared beside him at some point, and smiled. "You have a great talent. In terms of utilizing the mind network, I am not even as good as you. But you have spent too much time on pranks and playing around."
