Chapter 6, Mechanical Ascension
The voice of the strange person is grand and sacred
The requests of the guests are, of course, the mission of Ling Ping'an
Thus, Elizabeth was no longer afraid
Flesh and blood are frail, but steel is eternal
His body is slender, lacking any muscle, yet his entire face seems to be shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
Implanting nanobiochemical machines into the body
... ...
That space, like a black hole, is profound and dim.
Equipped with the most advanced reconnaissance and detection instruments, the entire body is densely covered with various sensors, and a precision quantum personal brain is installed in the mind
Thus, she bowed deeply and said, "I beg of you!"
"Luck has truly arrived, and it cannot be stopped!" Ling Ping was immensely happy in his heart and asked, "Guest, are you from the Mechanical Ascension Sect?"
The moon is occupied by a gigantic spider evil god known as 'The Dark Side of the Moon'
It is the drone that she had previously released
If the other party belongs to the Psychic Ascension faction or the Genetic Ascension faction
... ...
Hello, what books do you have here? The cold, mechanical electronic voice made Ling Ping'an frown
Finally, after meticulous reasoning and calculations, the mainframe provided an option
With absolute rationality, absolute materialism, and absolute reason, we stride towards a brilliant future and embark on a journey across the starry sea
All the equipment I installed externally has completely malfunctioned
For these individuals deeply immersed in their delusions, Ling Ping'an harbors no discriminatory thoughts
Listening to the questions posed by the strange person in front of her, Elizabeth's quantum mainframe began to sound alarms frantically
This is precisely the treasure that humanity tirelessly seeks—the Crystal of the Evil God
This is the official setting collection of the most popular sci-fi game on the market today, "Stellaris"
Then, Ling Ping'an smiled and said, "Of course!"
... ...
On the old wall, covered in dust, a plaque appeared before Elizabeth's eyes
Ling Ping'an can also turn decay into magic, directly causing opponents to fall into a state of self-isolation
Humanity can only survive in the doomsday fortress, barely struggling with the aid of biomechanical devices
Upon seeing the clothes she was wearing, Ling Ping'an couldn't help but smile, realizing that she was a significant financial backer
Another person who has become too immersed in the role? Ling Ping'an scrutinized the foreigner before him
As soon as the body entered the mist, the nano-electronic sensors installed beneath the skin immediately transmitted a set of data
However, the outcome is often tragic
If this deal goes through... tomorrow morning, I can ask Aunt Cai to get me an extra bowl of tofu pudding! Thinking of the sweet and fragrant tofu pudding, Ling Ping'an was filled with determination
In three consecutive games, it truly feels like whatever I do works!
He spoke in the tone of the supporters of the mechanical ascension sect that he had seen on the forum: "Child, I certainly will not refuse your request"
Only a smooth, goose egg-sized crystal was left on the ground
More importantly, there is also an official authoritative interpretation and introduction to the mechanical ascension school.
Elizabeth is also in awe of the future described by this truth-like language
For Ling Ping'an, who aspires to become a future giant in the federal book industry, familiarizing oneself with and understanding the details of the books in the store is also a fundamental task
This mechanical ascension is to embrace machinery, to abandon the fragile flesh, and to move towards the luminous world of steel
Unfortunately, there has not been much opportunity to use it all along
This prompted Ling Ping'an to brew another cup.
To isolate and filter the pheromones of the malevolent deity, and to protect oneself
Any human who comes into contact with an evil god or a similar entity will be distorted by its language, consciousness, or even merely by the ripples generated from such contact
Before me is a modest space
It is just a bit too white
It is currently one of the highest-priced books in Ling Ping'an's possession
Elizabeth pushed open the glass door and walked in
Ling Ping'an noticed that she was wearing an outfit that seemed to belong to a character from a science fiction movie, exuding a strong sense of futurism
But now, all the sensors of her external devices seem to have malfunctioned.
It is an essential reading for beginners of the Mechanical Ascension Sect
That foreign woman, judging by her appearance, must also be a novice who has just fallen into the trap and become infatuated.
Mechanical Ascension, Psionic Ascension, Genetic Ascension
She raised her head and looked at the strange person in front of her, stepping toward a pitch-black, twisted, and unfathomable abyss-like space
Raising his head, a building with red bricks and green tiles emerged from the thick fog
It is also the energy source for the central control center of the human doomsday fortress
The azure pupils, unlike human eyes, possess a somewhat metallic texture
The main brain swiftly accepted the instructions
Hmm! Ling Ping'an looked at the unfamiliar foreign woman in front of him and said warmly, "Aren't you from the Mechanical Ascension Sect, esteemed guest?"
In theory, even the pheromones of an evil god can be identified
In addition, her physique is somewhat tall.
In the boundless, profound abyss, it seems as though pairs of malicious eyes are opening and closing in succession
Because countless facts and cases demonstrate
One to four, effortlessly
It is like melting ice and snow, a mass of flesh and blood that is rapidly dissolving and evaporating
Therefore, he has read most of the books in this bookstore
Could you tell me about mechanical ascension, psychic ascension, and genetic ascension? Her electronic vocal cords exhibited a tremor for the first time
... ...
After her death, the main brain will be automatically destroyed
The composition of the mist is dihydrogen monoxide, which is water molecules
The entire solar system has been thoroughly eroded.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of the mouth
Are you from the Psychic Ascension School or the Genetic Ascension School
Sipping the tea in his hand, he leisurely reclined on the chair at the counter
This powerful offspring of the evil god is being disintegrated by an inexplicable force within the thick fog
Child
Tick-tock, the hour hand moves slowly
A crystal of this size from the dark god can sustain the operation of a large fortress for one year
As a biochemical mechanical warrior, Elizabeth's body has undergone special modifications
Elizabeth was even more surprised
So... she thought: "Have I become a sacrifice or an experiment chosen by the mastermind?"
He then held this hefty volume and walked towards the foreign guest at the door
At last, he found the book he had been looking for
The Earth has become riddled with wounds and has turned into a paradise for the malevolent gods
... ...
Especially now, doing business has become increasingly difficult
She paused for a moment in contemplation, then followed the light, moving steadily forward
She appears to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and should not be older than Ling Ping'an
... ...
A foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes pushed the door open and entered
The square and upright characters surprised her slightly: "This is ... ... Chinese ... ... "
The biochemical cells within the body seem to be as if they are imprisoned by something
Jupiter and Saturn have become the sacred grounds for the offspring and minions of the evil gods to proliferate
Therefore, on one hand, one cannot provide a direct answer in order to avoid stepping into an unpredictable and dangerous situation
At the same time, she quietly issued a command to the quantum mainframe: activate Plan A
Ling Ping'an looked at the excited foreign woman in front of him
In the presence of the evil god, silence is of no use
The title of the book is "Stars: Mechanical Ascension Setting Collection"
... ...
After the quantum brain's overloaded computations, Elizabeth finally arrived at the optimal choice
... ...
Only machinery can achieve immortality
... ...
It is also the book with the highest profit.
Authorize the main brain to self-destruct immediately in any situation that may endanger her life, and to initiate the quantum entanglement program to transmit information back to the quantum control center in the doomsday fortress
Are you from the Psychic Ascension faction? Or the Genetic Ascension faction? The strange person seemed quite surprised
A science fiction enthusiast? Ling Ping'an thought to himself
A powerful crystal that exists only within the bodies of a few offspring of evil deities
Then, the key information stored within the main brain will be reproduced at the central control hub of the doomsday fortress through quantum entanglement
The so-called Plan A refers to the emergency self-destruction filing
After taking only a few steps, it seemed as though my foot had encountered some object
... ...
Mechanical Ascension Sect? Elizabeth cautiously followed the plan provided by the quantum mainframe, and the electronic vocal cords emitted a question
With absolute rationality, absolute materialism, and absolute reason, we stride towards a brilliant future, embarking on a journey through the starry sea
Therefore, Elizabeth, disregarding everything else, tightly grasped the hand of the strange man and pleaded, "Then, can you guide me and humanity along this great path"
They can easily penetrate the human mind and glimpse the true thoughts of humanity
Guest, are you from the Mechanical Ascension Sect
This place resembles a void where evil deities are born, filled with mystery, the unknown, and distortion, madness
Her quantum mainframe is experiencing continuous overheating
Her quantum brain is equipped with the majority of mainstream text and language templates from around the world
In just a few seconds, it melts and evaporates completely, leaving no trace of fur or bones.
Quantum brain is experiencing a crazy overload
She gently nodded, activated the language template, and with an electronic voice, said: "Hello, what books do you have here?"
Elizabeth cautiously stepped into the mist
Are you not a member of the Mechanical Ascension faction, esteemed guest
Lowering her head, Elizabeth, aided by the light of the circular table, saw that object
Countless cases recorded in the mainframe are vividly displayed before her, each one a gruesome testament.
Because in the bookstore, every customer is a god
It seems that only the quantum mainframe embedded beneath the cerebral cortex and a few non-combat nanomachines are still operational
Elizabeth fell silent as she looked at the options
This sentence, upon reaching Elizabeth's ears, caused the quantum brain in her mind to immediately operate at full capacity
Therefore, humanity seeks to survive and to continue procreating
If it can be sold, at least half of the profit will be made
She is familiar with this script
From her dressing style, Ling Ping guessed with a sense of relief that she must be a new player who has just entered the world of "Stellaris"
He took down this book
Indeed, the bookstore has several copies of the official guidebook for the game "Stars" in stock
A radiant smile appeared on her face: "At last, there is hope for a sale!"
Elizabeth lowered her head and picked up the object
He seemed to have known this in advance as he asked Elizabeth: "Guest... may I ask if you are here to buy a book?"
It might be due to the makeup and hairstyle, Ling Ping'an thought
A hefty tome
Further embed a quantum mainframe within the brain, undergoing surgery for a mechanized mind
The nanobiochemical mechanical armor that covers the entire body is also fully recycled
This official setting collection is sure to delight her
Because any response, if it contains even a slight deviation, may lead to unpredictable outcomes
Those cases convey a truth to humanity—when faced with evil deities or issues concerning untouchable entities, do not respond! Do not respond! Do not respond!
The sun has turned into the lair of an evil deity
Indeed, after drinking the water brewed from those leaves
I will lead you into the temple of truth, stepping into the mechanical paradise!" said Ling Ping'an.
Only in this way is there a glimmer of hope
Therefore, its value is immeasurable
... ...
Upon seeing her enter, the strange man stood up
Put away the items, Elizabeth continued forward, moving towards the source of light
At the moment of entering this mist, the laser blade extending from the arm had already retracted automatically
This caused her to switch from combat mode back to standby mode
Three unheard-of nouns
At that moment, he heard the sound of the shop door being pushed open, so he lifted his head from the counter and looked over
From the outline, one can vaguely discern the original form of this mass of flesh and blood—precisely that of the moon demon offspring, resembling a wild buffalo
Quantum mainframe, installed within her brain
At last, she arrived at the place where the light source was located
Of course, the most important thing is its pricing - two hundred and twenty-five yuan
Relative humidity, ninety percent
Many people, after encountering the evil deity, mistakenly believe themselves to be normal
The Federal Empire is not foolish either
"So, is this just pure fog?" Elizabeth furrowed her brow, "Then why..."
Elizabeth picked it up and carefully tucked it into her bosom
Then, with a smile, I asked: "Dear guest... may I ask if you are looking to purchase a book?"
The well-defined bridge of the nose exudes a sense of exquisite craftsmanship.
The frail human body is destined to become a shortcoming and a disadvantage
A pair of well-toned, long legs, sturdy and aesthetically pleasing
Isn't the only hope the scene described by this strange person
The computational speed has surged to its highest level
Thus, after incurring countless costs, humanity had no choice but to opt for coexistence with machines
Qiyuan Bookstore Elizabeth gazed at the dusty sign, her expression fluctuating between light and shadow, yet she resolutely stepped forward and gently pushed open the seemingly glass door
As soon as she entered the door, she swallowed hard.
Ling Ping'an has dominated the canyon
The vast majority of human understanding regarding evil deities or similar entities has been acquired through such means
Elizabeth's eyes caught sight of what appeared to be a light source at the end of the thick fog, flickering and swaying intermittently
However, one must not remain silent
Even if my teammates are incompetent, and even if the opponents are formidable
At the edge of space, there is a liquid resembling asphalt, slowly writhing.
Flesh and blood are frail, but steel is eternal
A strange person sits behind what appears to be a wooden counter
Her face belongs to the type that conforms to the public aesthetic of a delicate oval shape.
Because she and humanity have no other choice
Despite having already undergone the mechanized mental surgery, Elizabeth still became excited
Ling Ping'an walked to the back of the bookshelf, found the label for science fiction, and then counted the books one by one
Putting the ring back on her wrist, Elizabeth continued forward
I will lead you into the temple of truth, stepping into the mechanical paradise
She chewed on the words of the strange man: "Isn't this the hope of humanity, the blueprint for the future?"
If we do not find a way to sell some books soon, I fear that it will be difficult to even deceive for subsidies next month
On the other hand, it is necessary to devise various means to engage with it and gradually probe its behavioral logic
Inside, there are many exquisite game illustrations
They are almost as tall as Ling Ping An, with a conservative estimate of at least one hundred seventy-five centimeters
In the mist, a head emerges, with a pair of pitch-black eye sockets, where flickers of starlight quietly shimmer.
even manipulating human thoughts at will
This is an essential template for facilitating communication with any potential survivors encountered outside the fortress
Thus, replacing machinery with psychic abilities and genetics is equally unremarkable
Can a bookstore that has been operating at a long-term loss with zero revenue continue to receive subsidies?
Then, she felt as if her feet were stepping on something soft
However, now, that four-winged hovering drone has transformed back into a ring display
After hesitating for only three seconds, Elizabeth chose to comply with the opinion of the mainframe
