"Xiao Yu, did you really rember everything here in that brief instant? Everything?" Yan Weiwei was sowhat incredulous.
"Yep! Compared to yesterday, there hasn’t been much change in the room, just that there is one less book on the bookshelf, and the angles of the computer and printer on the desk seem a bit off, probably because uncle used them afterwards. Also, there are so more scraps of paper in the trash can..."
ng Lang was speechless.
No wonder Xiao Yu used to work for international police. Even with such a young talent, she couldn’t hide it, could she?
With this going on, will my study ever have any secrets left? Basically, nothing escapes Xiao Yu’s eyes wherever she looks.
But luckily, it’s all in the family...
"Huh... How co there’s an extra photo fra here?"
Xiao Yu suddenly picked up a photo fra from the desk and said in confusion.
The photo fra was obviously brand new, and the photo inside it showed a vast red desert, with rugged terrain faintly visible around it.
The sky was a light greyish white, while inside a narrow canyon on the ground, there were more than a dozen dilapidated white buildings, looking sowhat desolate and barren.
"What’s this?"
Lin Haitang took the photo fra, examining the only group of buildings inside; although they were in ruins, he felt the design was very futuristic, and together with the strange environnt and terrain, it didn’t seem like a real scene from reality.
"Cough! It’s nothing, just an art photograph, I haven’t got around to hanging it up on the wall yet."
ng Lang coughed and made up an excuse.
"Art photograph? It’s all dirt everywhere, I don’t see what’s so nice about it. I an, your taste couldn’t possibly be that bad, could it?" Yan Weiwei looked at the photo and criticised.
ng Lang sighed internally.
"Alas! You don’t understand. Whether this thing has artistic value isn’t important, what’s important is the story behind it, and the spirit of sacrificing for art..."
"Just a composite photo, and you talk about sacrificing for art? Who sacrificed? You?"
ng Lang: "..."
Well... I’m at a loss for words and have no choice but to agree by default.
Yes, this photo is indeed my latest ending...
Regarding the journey through the stars and seas, the end isn’t necessarily about conquest.
It could be that after stepping through the stars, you finally get to thoroughly admire their most beautiful faces, and then a casual breeze from the universe simply reduces all your efforts to zero...
It was in the year we landed on Mars, after a months-long ultra-strong Martian dust storm, that the newly built Martian base suffered heavy losses.
Most importantly, both of the precious ecological recycling systems went offline...
So, grand ambitions and plans of reconquering Earth all beca laughable...
Looking at the photo, ng Lang couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in his teeth.
I really... am not suited for long journeys after all...
Who would have thought, people have made it to Mars, but still couldn’t escape various natural and human-made disasters.
Other than the Night Demon Clan, it seems my only real adversary is this unfortunate fate indeed...
Lin Haitang’s thoughts were not on the mysteriously extra "photo," but rather, she looked at Xiao Yu with a bit of worry.
"Is Xiao Yu really alright like this? She’s still young, this won’t hurt her body, will it?"
Compared to gaining an eidetic mory, Lin Haitang was clearly more concerned about Xiao Yu’s health.
"Mmm... It shouldn’t be a big problem," ng Lang said after thinking it over.
If this ability were harmful to Xiao Yu, the Brothers from the last episode would have definitely warned about it.
From my own experience, as long as it’s not used too frequently, at worst, it might just lead to premature greying, but the skill’s consumption is well within the body’s tolerable limits.
And besides...
He pulled out a docunt that had been recently compiled from the drawer of the desk beside him.
"Here, Xiao Yu, this is for you."
"What’s this?"
Xiao Yu took it with a puzzled face and looked down at the docunt...
"Overclocking Scripture 2.0?"
"What?" Yan Weiwei, upon hearing this, imdiately widened her eyes.
She hastily took it from Xiao Yu’s hands to look, and sure enough, the words "Overclocking Scripture 2.0" were clearly written on the cover...
"This... You actually wrote it?" She said, looking up at ng Lang incredulously.
"Yep! I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into studying recently, staying up for seven days and nights without sleep, and finally, an inspiration struck , and I wrote down this improved version of the Overclocking Scripture!"
To describe the "hard-won" nature of "Overclocking Scripture 2.0," ng Lang used several adjectives.
Yan Weiwei skeptically began to flip through it.
"Consciousness, belonging to the divine treasure of the human brain, where human thought resides, is divided into the five elents as well as yin and yang...
tal stands for logical reasoning, wood for creative imagination, water for mory storage, fire for emotional expression, earth for integration and coordination...
Yin is static, convergent, calm, rational, yang is dynamic, expansive, passionate, emotional... Balancing yin and yang, to achieve the optimal state of the brain...
Basic Chapter... Advanced Chapter... Blood is essence, qi is spirit, and qi-blood are the foundations of consciousness... They can be regulated in conjunction with bodily movents, or can be stimulated with dication to forcibly activate...
Low, dium, high-level consciousness flow training thods summarized..."
And then below that were a bunch of stick figure comic strips...
Emm... Compared to the first book, the content is much more detailed, but it seems even more childlike...
Yan Weiwei raised her head, looking at ng Lang with a strange expression.
"You said you wrote for seven days and nights? It takes nine years for soone like Dharma to comprehend the way, and you’re telling this isn’t sothing you just had ghostwritten randomly?"
"Hey hey! If you keep talking like that, I’m going to sue you for defamation."
"1.0 has only been out for a while, and now 2.0 is already here? Even minor adjustnts require top university experts to spend half a year researching. How could you possibly create this kind of improved version in such a short ti by working behind closed doors?
Even quick shooters aren’t as fast as you are!"
ng Lang was speechless. He pulled Xiao Yu away from Yan Weiwei to his side and retorted...
"The world of a genius... You wouldn’t understand!"
Yan Weiwei: "#"
So frustrated, yet powerless to refute...
This "Overclocking Scripture 2.0" is, of course, the "smuggled technology" for this edition of "Brave Heart."
Perhaps it was because they’d been defeated by AI too many tis, leading to a gradual loss of love, that this ti the brothers chose "human enhancent" for tech support.
But ng Lang always felt it was a bit of a waste, after all, what he urgently needed now was not one or two strong fighters, but a decisive technology that could turn the tide against the wind.
Even if he really could train up ten or twenty thousand overclocking soldiers to influence the outco of local battles, it seed to have little effect on his own "endga."
Of course, based on past experiences, the technology provided by the brothers often ca with an extra Easter egg...
Such as the first sentence of the "General Introduction" of this scripture—"Nature is consciousness, creation is infinite, the flesh is frail, ascend to the Spirit Realm"...
A stark sentence, no explanation whatsoever.
Obviously, another typical riddle person!
This inexplicably cryptic and dramatically charged introduction was naturally not suitable for Xiao Yu and the others to see, so ng Lang edited it out.
He tried to interpret it: the first two sentences were easy to understand, just comrcial hype for "stream of consciousness." As for the latter two, they were rather baffling.
Gleaning from the literal aning... Flesh is frail; this is clearly referring to the weakness of the human body, which cannot even survive in a vacuum, indirectly leading to his death on Mars. Understanding this kind of frustration is well within reason.
As for "Spirit Realm"... It sounds like so sort of cultivation stage?
So... reaching this state enables ascension? The kind that breaks through the void?
Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?
But... why na this realm "Spirit Realm"?
In his mory, the only thing related to these two words seed to be his own "Lingjing dia."
However, Lingjing dia was just a small company established for packaging Duan Xiaoxian and developing the entertainnt industry, not even part of his strategic planning. How could it be related to the far-removed "Overclocking Scripture"?
According to the book, Lingjing dia will establish a gaming division in the future, developing the open-world adventure ga "Heart of Destruction"...
Every sentence in the book often hides valuable information.
Could it be... the secret is within this ga?
He couldn’t comprehend the deeper aning of this introductory sentence, but it was evidently another mystery that would take ti to unravel...
"With this improved version of the scripture, there’s no need to worry too much about the safety of cultivating, but Xiao Yu, you’re still young and your brain is still developing, so you absolutely can’t use this ability frequently.
With your talent, there’s no need to be too eager; just go with the flow," ng Lang advised Xiao Yu.
Having such a talent, ng Lang wouldn’t let Xiao Yu go unused. She was bound to beco a core mber of the "All Things Return to One Union."
And since Xiao Yu was one of the chief editors of this book, there was no need to worry about the fit of her skills.
It’s just that she was too young, and ng Lang was also concerned that pushing her too fast would kill her potential for future growth...
"Okay, uncle, I got it! I definitely won’t misuse it!" Xiao Yu said happily.
Being acknowledged by ng Lang and being able to help everyone were probably the happiest things for her...
Seeing Lin Haitang still sowhat worried, ng Lang reassured her with a smile.
"Don’t worry, after so ti, I will have a friend help with a physical check. If it’s harmful to Xiao Yu’s health, I’ll be the first to know."
"A friend?"
"Yeah! Relax, it’s definitely professional!" ng Lang assured her with a smile as he looked at Xiao Yu.
Giving oneself a dical exam, surely nothing could go wrong, right?
ng Lang was already well-versed in cloud check-ups, and this ti it seed like an extension of the employee benefits...
"Professional..." Seeing ng Lang’s confident expression, Lin Haitang recalled the powerful organization he ntioned and finally felt so reassurance.
...
After everyone left, ng Lang returned to his study and silently hung the fra on the photo wall alongside the previous "Heroes Never Die."
In his heart, he privately mourned for these two brothers in arms.
One died on the Moon, the other was buried on Mars.
Mounted on the wall, they had beco immortalized...
Looking at the two fras before him, his heart couldn’t help but feel a bit desolate.
It might be just two fras now, but in a few years, this photo wall might not even be able to hold them all...
It’s foreseeable that they’re the first batch, but they definitely won’t be the last on the journey to the stars and the sea... such a pursuit is destined to leave many fallen in its wake!
However, having gone through so much life and death, ng Lang felt he had beco much more resigned to the idea of his own demise.
Yeah! I should discuss with Lawyer Lin and make a will later.
If one day I also fall gloriously, just hang my black-and-white photo in the middle.
A family... should always be complete...
...
And right at this mont, the beloved yet frustrating Artificial Intelligence, just as ng Lang had predicted, led the whole world into the era of major version updates...
Bajie and Idol... sold out!
