Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"Who?"

"Emperor Rupert II".

Rupert II?

Mr. Emiya knew Rupert I, after all, he was the omnic genius who started the First Imperial War, but Rupert II... Emiya didn't remember if he was on the club's list.

"The Second Incarnation claimed to have inherited the memories and data of the First Incarnation, and, drawing inspiration from the Way of the Wise, created a celestial-level computational interference device called the 'Scepter System.'"

"At its peak, the number of 'scepters' seemed to exceed tens of thousands, equivalent to external brains for Emperor Rupert II. The computing power of each 'scepter' required an entire planet as its energy source."

... . ...

"In other words, by replicating the 'Scepter' system and recreating Emperor Rupert II's memories, it's equivalent to recreating a part of Emperor Rupert I."

As Black Tower spoke, his bright, almost glowing eyes fixed intently on him, then he said...

"As long as the central core of the scepter system can be reproduced, we can, like the scholar who proposed that algorithm back then, use the computing power of the scepter to gain access to knowledge comparable to directly meeting a learned scholar."

"You're just making empty promises."

"In conclusion, while Ms. Black Tower's words may be exaggerated, the computing power of the Scepter System at its peak did indeed possess a certain degree of comparable capability to that of the Learned One, although it may be less than one-tenth."

"Now that you mention it, it does make some sense."

Hearing what these two said, Emiya couldn't help but feel very curious about that scepter system. If it really had such enormous computing power, could he reproduce it through the power of the Herrscher of Reason?

Even the low-end version, the smaller-scale scepter system, could potentially significantly boost its computing power level.

As long as his computing power level keeps up, the upper limit of many of his current abilities will be greatly increased, especially Ether editing. If he reaches the peak computing power of the Scepter System as they say, coupled with a sufficiently large amount of imaginary energy, he might not have any problem editing and modifying a planet directly.

"Then, let's get tested quickly."

"I'm also very curious about that system," said the older man.

Chapter 265: Paying homage to the Heavenly Venerable of Wisdom and burning high-grade incense is not shameful.

My body is slowly sinking.

The familiar feeling, no matter how many times I experience it, is still something I can't get used to, like constantly sinking into a sticky swamp.

"Can't this sinking experience be improved? To be honest, it feels like my body is being swallowed up step by step."

"That only means you haven't measured enough."

The voice of the Black Tower reached his ears, and Mr. Emiya couldn't help but sigh.

"If you treat a veteran player like me like this, you'll lose me sooner or later."

"Alright, stop joking around. This process involves a thorough scan of your entire body to match a suitable identity. Let's cut the crap and reduce the consumption of computing power."

Having said that, Black Tower unilaterally shut down the communication in his ear. Mr. Emiya shook his head and continued to follow the feeling of sinking. When "313" reached the point where the mud covered his head, and he could gradually hear some noisy shouts,

The light and shadow of many things gradually entered my eyes.

"New guy, go pour me a cup of white crystal coffee, extra sugar."

Before he could even steady himself, he heard shouts from his right. Turning his head, he saw a plain-looking young woman frantically flipping through files in her hands while rapidly typing data onto a keyboard with her other hand.

"Why are you still standing there?"

Seemingly noticing that Emiya didn't move, the young woman looked up at him again, her expression seemingly puzzled.

"Don't you know where the coffee machine is?"

"No, actually I also have some knowledge of pour-over coffee."

"You have this skill? Great, brew a few cups for us to try. I think we have some coffee beans sent from Cocoa Star in the kitchen, take a look."

"it is good."

Emiya turned around and walked towards the kitchen. As he turned, he heard Black Tower's voice again.

"Patvia Adela Somerville".

"Is he a very famous person?"

"Yes, she was the one who survived to the end in this war of schools of thought, and the only one who left behind a scholar who broke through the existing knowledge circle's conjectures about the origin of the problem."

"...Is it the algorithm that made you famous? I remember it was called Lone Wave?"

Perhaps it was only after a moment of realization that he finally understood something. Emiya understood why the Black Tower paid special attention to this person. If it were an ordinary person, the Black Tower would rarely take her seriously unless she had joined the Genius Club, and would not go to such lengths to introduce her background.

"You actually guessed it? That's right, she's the one who initiated the Gu Bo Conjecture."

"In a sense, she is your achiever?"

"I wouldn't say it, but it did leave me with some very interesting things. Without the solitary wave algorithm, my research would not have reached this level today."

"The solitary wave algorithm is a milestone in my life. For me, Pattvia is a mentor. Although she is not a genius, she still has the most basic thirst for knowledge as a scholar."

After brewing the coffee, Emiya handed several cups of hand-drip coffee to everyone in the laboratory. After tasting them, everyone praised them highly.

Just as everyone was enjoying their coffee, someone turned on an old-fashioned radio. Although it was old-fashioned, it could receive microwaves from outer space. While it was mostly useless, it just so happened to pick up some piercing sounds.

"The quantum historical school predicts that new geniuses will emerge from the thinking of inorganic cells. While we question the accuracy of this prediction, the emperor's body is barely cold, and we must take it seriously to prevent the birth of unknown crises."

"They would actually be quite suitable to set up a stall on the roadside; with this kind of sales pitch, they could probably fool quite a few people."

Pattvia scoffed. She had never been interested in such ambiguity, especially now that this kind of charlatan-like rhetoric was being brought into the academic fold.

"They say the Emperor's body is still warm, but in reality, not one of these people wants a new Omnic Emperor to be born."

After saying that, Pattvia stretched her neck wearily. A moment later, the coffee kicked in, and she put down her coffee cup, intending to return to processing the experimental data.

The instrument not far from her emitted a creaking sound during testing.

About two or three minutes later, another set of data appeared on her computer. Looking at that familiar core data, Pattvia spoke with a somewhat subtle expression.

"As expected, it's a familiar number again."

"This thing is like a persistent ghost. Could there really be some evil spirit following me around?"

Her laboratory had moved to several star systems, but the detected numbers had never changed. Although she didn't know what use they would be, Pattvia was inexplicably interested. In fact, many people in the Candle Ink School advised her to abandon this experimental project. After all, as an extremely outstanding talent in the Candle Ink School, many scholars did not want Pattvia to waste her time on such a meaningless experiment...

"Another day without any changes, Professor. Shall we continue this project?"

The assistant leaned on the chair and asked Pattvia a question, but Pattvia waved her hand.

"Anyway, it won't waste too much time, so it doesn't matter if I continue. But I need to take a short break recently. There's an academic conference going to be held in Spofia, and my advisor sent me a message about it."

"An academic symposium? Which scholar will be giving a long talk this time? It can't be the quantum history school, can it? I'd like to decline."

“Not only the quantum history school, but also astroecology, armed archaeology, pure creation... nearly thirty schools of thought, large and small, will participate.”

"Wow, something big has happened?"

"The Emperor's Legacy, the Scepter System, it seems the Interstellar Peace Corporation intends to hand over these spoils to the Erudite Society for use."

The assistants exchanged bewildered glances. They had all heard of the Scepter System, but they never imagined that it would be connected to them.

"Let's go see what those scholars are planning to do. If we can get some computing power, our experimental progress can be accelerated a lot."

As a legitimate scholar, not one of those social science or amateur scientists, Pattvia had a strong desire for high-performance computing (3.3). If she could secure even a small piece of the iceberg of those astronomical calculators, her research project would take off.

Therefore,

Knowing the significance of this discussion, Pattvia still decided to try her luck, just in case this immense fortune really fell into her laboratory.

"Before we set off, we must pray to the Venerable Master of Knowledge and ask the Star God to bless us so that we can be allocated some computing power."

The assistant couldn't help but smile.

"Professor, don't you hate all this mystical stuff the most?"

Pattvia rolled her eyes and sneered, "But the Venerable Master is also a celestial computer, so it's not shameful to worship him."

"It's not shameful, but people have to be able to hear it."

"That makes sense. Professor, I have a favor to ask you today. How about you go to the Venerable Master Boshi and kneel down and kowtow a few times?"

Chapter 266: I really do consider you my mother.

"A rather lively lab."

As the first simulation ended, Mr. Emiya couldn't help but smile. The atmosphere in the laboratory was quite similar to that on the train.

It doesn't have that strong academic atmosphere or that oppressive work environment.

This is probably related to Pattvia's own personality.

“You are now actually a member of the laboratory, even a laboratory full of geniuses.”

"Indeed, except I was the one who was experimented on."

"You can also tell yourself that this is called sacrificing yourself for the truth."

Don't flatter me.

Mr. Emiya rolled his eyes. He was not about to sacrifice himself for the truth. Who would play this stupid game if there was no reward?

"The next scene should be the Erudite Society dividing up those scepter systems."

Before the next simulation scene had even loaded, Emiya had already guessed the plot of the next segment.

"Indeed, this scene is meaningless. A bunch of scum who wear the skin of scholars but are actually no better than politicians are putting on a show on stage."

"All those things combined are not as valuable as a single conjecture proposed by Pattvia."

No wonder she's Pattvia's favorite.

Emiya-sensei (27 years old) could tell that the Black Tower held a somewhat idol-like perspective towards that professor.

of course,

This is not surprising.

Although he was a genius who surpassed the average bachelor,

But in terms of experience, she also came from an ordinary person, step by step.

She acknowledges both her greatness and her past ordinariness.

Pattvia is considered a beloved character from her past, and both her experiences and her ultimate fate are worthy of praise in Black Tower's view.

The scene shifted from a remote galaxy to the academic planet. When Pattvia reappeared, she was now inside a packed venue, the clamor of countless voices filling her ears.

Numerous screens are broadcasting footage from inside the auditorium.

"The perfect scholar, the ultimate ideal of the seeker of knowledge, already possessed infinite value as a term in an era before the birth of 'intellect'..."

On the high platform of the auditorium, a scholar of astronomical ecology was passionately expounding on his ideas about the perfect scholar.

"The Perfect Scholar? Sounds like they're trying to create a second Erudite?"

"In conclusion, it was a worthless design; they never found the right path from beginning to end."

"A bunch of mediocre people are just deceiving themselves. A 'wealth king' has appeared in the Interstellar Peace Corporation, so they forcibly try to fit this concept in that direction. In the end, they haven't even created a single genius, let alone a perfect scholar."

Lady Black Tower held the scholars in contempt as always. In her eyes, these learned scholars were probably on the same level as her, a high school dropout.

"So, what level exactly is a perfectionist scholar?"

"At the pinnacle of the Commander, one can shake the power of the Star God in the course of destiny."

Good guy,

A new level has been released.

Mr. Emiya raised an eyebrow. King of Wealth, Perfect Scholar... Although there are only two titles so far, Mr. Emiya couldn't help but wonder if other Destinies might also have similar names?

The lengthy academic discussion lasted for several hours, and Professor Emiya simply couldn't concentrate for more than two minutes. He felt a kind of agonizing pain, reminiscent of being dominated by the principal on the stage at the start of the semester.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue chatting with Ms. Black Tower.

However, it seemed that Black Tower had no intention of chatting with him for long.

Gradually, Mr. Emiya also felt that he had made a fool of himself, so he looked around for a moment, and suddenly... he noticed a strange gaze in the crowd. When he turned his head, he could not catch the source of the strange gaze.
