673: Chapter 564: Dragon Egg 673: Chapter 564: Dragon Egg “Before, with that defective Digital Mind, I couldn’t even imagine it had so many wonderful uses.” Lu Jing followed closely beside Xu Yang’s stream of consciousness, afraid of being left behind.
“Take it slowly.”
Xu Yang brought Lu Jing back to the server room in Shangjing and taught her how to stuff her consciousness back into her original body, unit by unit.
For Lu Jing, it was like waking up gradually from a grand dream.
At first, her perception was constantly shifting between the information system and her original body, with reality and data flows intertwined, allowing her to feel the sensations of both places simultaneously.
But later, she fully returned to her original body.
Lu Jing lay on an alloy chair with a leather cushion, still savoring the shocking and marvelous experience she had just been through, unable to move for a long ti.
Consciousness moving like light, wholly embedding itself in the equipnt—with this, hadn’t she beco another Cyber Specter?
This thought brought joy to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing felt that Xu Yang had opened the doors to a New World for her.
Now her cognitive scope was no longer limited to her physical flesh but could, through information technology, achieve eternity.
“When can I beco as formidable as you?” Lu Jing couldn’t help but ask.
Probably not.
Xu Yang inwardly remarked.
Due to the previous great battle, he himself had once transford into a true digital entity, having reached the ultimate effect of the Digital Mind and pushing the technology to its extre end, thus far surpassing others.
Such events didn’t happen every day, and Lu Jing would have to start from the ground up, beginning with the most basic virtual consciousness uploads.
“The Helis Sea System is key, and in addition you’ll need to accumulate more than five years of work experience.
If you operate on your own now, you’ll encounter a bunch of problems, such as port protocol mismatch, terminal running efficiency mismatch, cybersecurity monitoring and alarms, and so on.
It’s a complex system.
But with here, just enjoy the pleasure the Digital Mind brings.
You can also try it on your ho machines, entering the online world with your consciousness, becoming free from then on.” Xu Yang encouraged her with ease.
“I’m scared!” Lu Jing worried that once she entered, she wouldn’t be able to co out.
“No worries, your developnt is low now, and even if there is a loss, it’ll only be about 1% of your consciousness, which is within the body’s daily repair capacity.”
“I’m still scared, and I also don’t dare let the company’s tech staff teach .”
“Then you can co to .
My schedule is public on the Nestor Corporation website,” Xu Yang explained.
“Okay!” Lu Jing felt thrilled.
Previously, using Digital Mind to operate terminals remotely, closing her eyes to adjust audio equipnt and access control, she felt invincible.
Now, recalling it, she seed like a frog in a well, completely incomparable to truly seasoned Digital Mind holders.
“So, other Digital Mind holders might also be lurking in any of the caras?” Lu Jing suddenly thought of this.
“Digital Mind holders are all company people; I think they are relatively honest.”
“That’s not necessarily true.
Let tell you a secret, once upon a ti, Xu Yang, a third generation single-lineage company engineer from Kyushu High Pavilion, even did sothing unforgivable…”
“I know that person, they say he died a terrible death…” Xu Yang said, his tone somber.
“Yes, he escaped, leaving the company a bunch of unresolved vulnerabilities, and his fate was…
In the end, he was dismbered by rats, such bad luck…” Lu Jing lanted.
She thought he was a successful fugitive, but he ended up rat fodder within hours.
Xu Yang and Lu Jing each had their sighs.
“Alright, I’ve had enough of stories about the dead.
What we entered just now was a public comrcial facility with low-security asures, which differs from company internal network machines.
Especially now with the full rollout of the Helis Sea System, it might beco difficult to easily access even ordinary comrcial facilities in the future, because you’ll first need to learn how to dive into the Helis Sea.”
“I see…” Lu Jing realized that Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing had also fully upgraded to the Helis Sea System.
“Rember, a hacker can penetrate anywhere, so you must pay attention to information security.
Those who are conscious of this tend to restrict phone permissions, cover their terminal caras with stickers, and install antivirus programs.”
“But all our information is sold by the company, it’s already been seen clean through,” Lu Jing thought of this as well.
“The human heart can never truly be probed.
If you really feel you can’t protect your data and privacy, then guard your soul; it is important, too.” Xu Yang concluded.
Lu Jing felt she had learned a lot and thanked Xu Yang sincerely before packing up her things and leaving.
“Rember to find Rinne for ,” Xu Yang suddenly rembered, “my assistant who I have no idea where she ran off to.”
“Yes!” said Lu Jing cheerfully, “By the way, does Rinne also know these techniques?”
“Of course not, she doesn’t have a Digital Mind.
What she dreams of the most is to have a Digital Mind, and then do all the things I showed you just now,” Xu Yang said, unimpressed.
Lu Jing’s heart skipped a beat.
Yes, that powerful Digital Mind suite, originally intended for Rinne, had instead beco exclusive to Lu Jing.
With a sense of guilt, Lu Jing set out to find Rinne.
At this ti, Rinne and Wei Shiyue were whiling away their ti in a club on Shangjing’s comrcial street, where female high school students from nearby schools worked part-ti, giving custors back massages with their feet.
Rinne had undergone many modifications, and Wei Shiyue was a dragon girl, so the girls’ trampling didn’t really do much for them, leading them to let the girls go.
The two had had a conflict during a comrcial shoot.
Wei Shiyue had fiercely slashed at Rinne, only to be blocked by Rinne’s monomolecular wire.
Since then, she had taken good note of Rinne and gradually, they had beco friends rather than foes.
More importantly, Rinne had also been to the Moon and seen the Moonlight Dragon Clan, so they had plenty of common topics to discuss.
Especially since Wei Shiyue had been feeling down lately, and there were things she couldn’t discuss with Du Qianqian, Rinne had beco her confidante.
“Drink or smoke?” Rinne lay on the tatami, watching the antique fan overhead spin continuously, blowing a hot breeze almost like a heater.
“Drink,” replied Wei Shiyue, ordering two bottles of sake on a tablet.
The bottles arrived quickly on a conveyor belt, covered with a semi-transparent glass do.
Wei Shiyue paid with her diamond cash card, and the glass do disappeared automatically.
“How much money do you have on that cash card?” Rinne asked, noticing Wei Shiyue’s extravagant card.
“A few billion,” Wei Shiyue answered without counting, sitting up to drink.
The thought of hanging out with such a noble superstar like Wei Shiyue seed unbelievable to Rinne.
Even globally, Wei Shiyue’s fa and status ranked in the top ten; she was at the height of her popularity and her money-making ability was formidable.
“You look very…
worried?” Rinne could tell that Wei Shiyue wasn’t drinking happily.
Wei Shiyue looked down at her own abdon.
“Although you are a witch, you know about reproduction, don’t you?” said Wei Shiyue.
“Hmm…
pile driving…”
“Pile driving is just the process, the result of which is—the egg being filled with a soul and then able to develop into a child.”
“But you’re not a woman, you’re a dragon.”
“Won, birds, dragons, they all lay eggs.
You can find out about the physiological chanisms by searching the encyclopedia.
Just be aware that if I don’t get…
I’ll lay an empty egg that can’t hatch anything, just like the boxed chicken eggs you buy in the fresh market.
You know?
So elentary school students might mistake such eggs as being able to hatch animals.
But it’s impossible.
I’m the sa.
I will leave an empty egg, an egg of a dragon with nothing!
What’s the point of laying sothing like that, to throw it away?
To watch it slowly rot, disintegrate?”
The thought of laying a soulless egg—an egg that was destined to remain still—filled Wei Shiyue with uncontrollable sorrow.
The great dragon egg, like all worldly things, would eventually decay and stink.
That egg should be half as tall as a person, inside which a young dragon would slowly grow and take shape.
In ti, a vibrant young dragon would be born, shrieking sharply, its body wrapped in thin mbranes, with unopened eyes seeking prey.
This beautiful future—leaving a descendant in this harsh world, who would grow strong and carry on her fate and bloodline—was very important to Wei Shiyue.
All the more because her mother’s lineage needed to be passed on; her intelligent, gentle, and tall mother had already perished from Lunar Fire Mond’s resentnt and Fury.
If Wei Shiyue were to die alone, it would an her mother’s genes would also be extinguished from the world, signifying that Mond had achieved its nefarious sche.
And ever since Du Qianqian learned how to care for dragon horns, although she had tried her best, she had only activated Wei Shiyue’s delicate thoughts, making the day of the dragon egg’s formation draw nearer.
If Wei Shiyue continued to delay, she would truly leave behind a soulless, empty egg after a bout of severe pain.
According to dragon customs, she would have to personally dig a grave and bury such a disgrace…
Seeing Wei Shiyue in such pain, Rinne couldn’t help but scratch her own hair.
It sounded strange, but if that was the case, she would have to introduce Wei Shiyue to Mr.
Web Monitor.
If anyone could take care of a female dragon, it would be him.
At that mont, Lu Jing sent a ssage looking for her.
“Mr.
Web Monitor’s calling for you,” Lu Jing reminded her.
“You’ve been out and about for several days now.”
“Oh, I’ll be right back,” Rinne replied to Lu Jing and then patted Wei Shiyue on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, things will definitely turn out alright.”
Wei Shiyue nodded slightly, silently feeling that first egg of hers.
It had to grow into a tiny dragon, not be buried in the earth.
Rinne took a ride back to Nestor Headquarters and went upstairs to find Xu Yang.
“I’m back,” Rinne announced as she pushed the door open.
“Let’s go,” Xu Yang finished packing and was ready to leave, “we’re going to ta the Wolf Girl.”
