Why do I feel unexpectedly comfortable when I'm with Bai Luan?
Even if I don't say anything, he can understand what I want to do and immediately provide the corresponding help.
Words seemed somewhat inefficient between them.
However, when Daheita looked back on the time he had spent with Bai Luan, it couldn't be described as very long.
Although he spent more and more time with Bai Luan after rescuing him from the time turbulence, he still couldn't have come to this level of understanding.
Sometimes, when Daheita asked Bai Luan questions, Bai Luan listened with clear eyes, as if she were listening to a celestial book.
But after listening, the next second, you can hear a crucial answer from him that seems to be an extension of your own thoughts.
In conclusion, Daheita suspected that Bai Luan could read minds.
However, when Bai Luan was talking with Luo Sigu and Ruan Mei, he did not show that mind-reading ability.
They have neither the special ability to read minds nor have spent much time with me, yet we get along exceptionally well.
The only explanation left seems to be the last one, the most unscientific and mystical:
Is there really someone...
How could someone be born so compatible with themselves?
"Ms. Black Tower? What are you thinking?"
"nothing."
Daheita looked at Bai Luan for a while, then revealed a satisfied smile.
"Even this genius sometimes marvels at having found the perfect assistant."
Chapter 81 You Stupid God!
Although the Great Black Tower had planned the simulated universe a long time ago and started building the infrastructure, it took quite a while.
In reality, the three geniuses only devoted a few hundred system hours to the simulated universe project.
Then, these hundreds of systems were rationally divided into two months based on the geniuses' schedules.
The construction of the simulated universe was done at all costs; the resources consumed alone amounted to an entire planet.
What?
When you ask Bai Luan why he knows so much about how many systems the genius used to simulate the universe,
Then let me ask you...
Do you know what it feels like when time drags on endlessly?
Surely no one actually thinks this is an exaggeration?
Do you know, do you know how I've gotten through these past two months?!
The Great Sage was imprisoned under the Five Finger Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years, but he didn't suffer as much as he has in these two months, because no one forced him to do scientific research.
If my previous intense study in the dark room had only burned out all that was left, leaving only pale ashes, then these past two months have truly been a daily burning, with even the ashes igniting.
He was practically burning with excitement!
It's finally over...
We've finally made it through...
The moment the simulated universe was running stably, Bai Luan really wanted to kowtow to this facility.
Thank you for not experiencing the various bugs that occurred in the previous two months, such as missing models, invalid blessings, and stuck levels.
Thank you for not having Lan and the pharmacist activated their elbows, which caused the simulated universe's computing power to overload.
Thank you, Aha, you bastard Star God, you've finally given up on the idea of secretly playing tricks and pretending to be a bug to make me work for nothing and have fun.
After two months of numerous interactions with geniuses, Bai Luan came to a profound realization.
First of all, these geniuses are gods in human skin.
This simulated universe project was so extravagant that even with three geniuses working together, it only took them two months to complete.
I can't believe what amazing things ten geniuses can come up with when they come together to work.
Secondly, I'm really awesome, I didn't give myself away.
For the past two months, Bai Luan has been like a husky that has infiltrated a pack of wolves, hunting alongside them for two whole months.
They've almost developed a tacit understanding with the wolf pack.
Let me reiterate, I'm truly awesome.
Working alongside geniuses on this simulated universe project, as it came to a close, only one thought remained in my mind…
Don't contact me next time.
Seriously, promise me you'll pretend I'm dead.
Of course, Bai Luan only thought about this in his heart; it was impossible for him to say it aloud.
He has sunk too high a cost in pretending to be a genius, to the point that he can't turn back now.
Pretending to be a genius has become a daily routine for Bai Luan; it's something he does unconsciously.
If it weren't for the fact that every day a true genius solves a problem that took three hours of deep thought, waking him up, Bai Luan would probably think he's a genius by now.
Yes, this situation is contradictory.
If someone asked me now if I was a genius, I'd probably freeze up, wondering if I was right or wrong.
Is this what they mean by a mortal getting a genius's disease? Maybe I should try stabbing myself with the extraction gun later?
Just as Bai Luan was worrying about her beautiful mental state, the conversation of the three geniuses brought her back to reality.
As a celebration of the successful operation of the simulated universe, the plan is for everyone to go in and have a conversation with the Star God.
Unlike the Star/Dome, who enter the simulated universe and attract the attention of the Star Gods through their actions, the geniuses, as the founding developers of the simulated universe, have administrator privileges and can directly meet the Star Gods they created.
Although, most of these star gods simply don't pay attention to people.
Except for Ah, but nobody wanted to pay attention to Him.
Stephen doesn't usually come in; he always works remotely for his job.
Seriously, it's a good thing you didn't come.
Otherwise, the difficulty of the dungeons I played for those two months could have increased even further.
Thank you, Stephen Lloyd.
No wonder someone whose name is so similar to both Minecraft and Green Ninja.
"Bai Luan, it's your turn."
The voice of the Great Black Tower reached Bai Luan's ears.
The three geniuses all turned their gazes to Bai Luan. After thinking for a moment, Bai Luan said:
"To be honest, I don't have any questions for the Star Gods, since they mostly won't bother with them anyway."
The Great Black Tower spoke calmly:
"Maybe? Go give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can go in and tell Aha a lame joke."
"To be honest, ever since that 'funny guy' tricked me twice with his trickery, I haven't really wanted to see him..."
"Then it's up to you."
Bai Luan looked at the terminal of the simulated universe and smiled.
"Then I'll just ask randomly."
Bai Luan stepped forward and reached out to touch the terminal of the simulated universe.
I've been pretending to be a genius for so long, but I've never met the Venerable Master. I should go and see Him.
He silently vowed to see the Venerable Master, and then his consciousness sank into that state.
After a brief period of blurred awareness as her consciousness entered the simulated universe, Bai Luan raised her head.
A massive mechanical head, as large as a planet, floated in the air, its core emitting a dazzling red light.
Regardless, the Star God still looks quite spectacular.
But after a brief moment of marveling at the magnificence of the Star God's body, Bai Luan's thoughts began to wander.
"Master Boshi, your head is really big. Do you think about too many things? Is it making your head spin?"
"..."
"When Zandal first created you, were you only a head? Or did you feel that being connected to a body was too inefficient, so you decided to split up?"
"..."
"Do you know that many people believe that the exposed core of your head is actually your eyes?"
"..."
The Venerable Master Boshi ignored Bai Luan's questions three times in a row. Of course, Bai Luan didn't expect that the Venerable Master would pay attention to him either.
After all, he wasn't even a real genius, just a fake one, not even worthy of being glanced at, let alone answering.
"Well... let me ask you one last question."
Bai Luan raised his head and looked at Bo Shizun's large head.
"O all-knowing sage, do you know... that the fourth wall truly exists?"
"..."
In the simulated universe, all remains silent.
It seems he doesn't intend to return to his own path. That makes sense; in the eyes of Bo Shi Zun, this is a meaningless question of nihilism.
However, Bai Luan knew the exact answer: the fourth wall did indeed exist.
After all, the system is now watching over him from beyond the wall.
At this moment, in the real universe.
Ahha came to the side of the Venerable Bhadra.
"Hey, don't ignore him. Even I, who was one of the first to pay attention to him, don't know where he came from. Why don't you take a look at him?"
As he spoke,
They forcibly turned the gaze of the learned scholar towards Bai Luan.
"?"
With just one glance, Bo Shizun noticed that something was wrong with Bai Luan.
In that instant, Bai Luan's physical structure was analyzed by Bo Shi Zun.
'?'
"What are you looking at?"
Subsequently, Bo Shizun was unable to glean even the slightest insight from Bai Luan.
But in that extremely short period of time, Bo Shi Zun also analyzed a lot of things.
Covered in strange objects?
Among them are several conceptual artifacts?
Does it also possess the invention to prevent itself from being monitored?
The probability that affects the calculation result...
exist.
It has been placed on the watch list.
At the same time, Bo Shizun also heard Bai Luan's question.
In response to Bai Luan's question, Bo Shi Zun also provided an answer:
Does that matter?This game has only been out for a little over ten days, right?
Isn't this completely addictive?
Bai Luan casually banned Silver Wolf's account for ten minutes.
Silver Wolf: ?
Silver Wolf: ? ?
Silver Wolf: ? ? ?
Bai Luan: Playing fewer games is bad for your health.
Silver Wolf: You can't treat your players like this!
Bai Luan: Just kidding, I've unsealed you.
Silver Wolf: You'll definitely lose a high-quality player like me if you keep doing this.
Bai Luan: If I release a new game, will you still play it?
Silver Wolf: ...
Bai Luan: Haha, stop joking around. Thank you for playing the game I brought you so seriously. I look forward to seeing you again next time.
Silver Wolf: So when is the next game coming?
Bai Luan: I have ideas, but I won't do them in the near future.
Silver Wolf: Spoiler alert, what's it called?
Bai Luan thought for a moment, then typed out the name of the next game and sent it to Silver Wolf.
Bai Luan: Cyberpunk 2077.
Silver Wolf: ?
no,
You've chosen a game theme for my house?
A knowing smile crept across Silver Wolf's face. What kind of game will you bring out?
Silver Wolf: Looking forward to it. When do you expect it to be finished?
Bai Luan: Yes, when it wants me to make it, I will make it.
Silver Wolf: You didn't just come up with a name on the spot to fool me, did you?
Bai Luan: Hey! -).
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Silver Wolf clenched his fists as he looked at the message Bai Luan sent, wishing he could punch him twice.
Don't let me catch you in real life...
Chapter 80 Developing a Simulated Universe…
After Bai Luan met with Ruan Mei and Luo Sigumu in turn, the final moment finally arrived.
Apart from Stephen (who voted in favor without hesitation), the remaining members had to vote on whether Bai Luan should join the simulated universe project.
Bai Luan herself, the main reason for this gathering, was unaware that she was preparing snacks to entertain the guests.
He guessed that the gathering of geniuses was to discuss matters related to the simulation of the universe, but he didn't expect that this meeting would decide whether or not he would join the project team.
The Great Black Tower didn't even tell him about this.
The table where the three geniuses sat had four chairs. Before being told the true purpose of the meeting, Bai Luan thought that seat was reserved for Stephen.
As he finished serving the desserts and was about to leave, he was grabbed by the big black tower.
"Where are you going? Can't you see there's an empty seat? Go sit down."
"???"
Bai Luan glanced at the Great Black Tower with a puzzled expression, then looked at Luo Sigu and Ruan Mei.
They were not surprised by this.
"Me? Sitting at the same table as you?"
Screw Gum looked at Bai Luan:
Is there a problem?
"..."
Bai Luan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, we can start voting."
Bai Luan spoke somewhat weakly:
"What kind of vote?"
"you do not know?"
ScrewGumm was somewhat surprised, then began to explain:
"Reason: When the Simulated Universe Project was first established, Ms. Black Tower suggested that you join the project and invited all members to review you. Today is the day to reveal the results."
The confusion and helplessness in Bai Luan's eyes faded.
Instead, a sense of despair prevailed.
No, please don't drag me into the project team and then suddenly put me under immense workload...
I'm really just an ordinary person...
The meeting began as Bai Luan's mindset began to shift slightly.
Nguyen Mai spoke first:
"You are not lacking in courage when researching new technologies. Compared to me, you have a more positive and caring attitude towards life, which I think is healthy."
A paper crane named Qing landed in front of me, its little head drooping as if it were dozing off.
Nguyen Mai looked at Thanh:
"The life samples you provided have been of great help to my research, and they are also quite helpful as fellow bakers, so—I agree."
After Nguyen Mai cast his vote, Slug Goum followed closely behind.
Its tone remained as gentle as ever:
"Logic: Your empathy and scientific courage on Beta Planet perfectly match the core parameters of an excellent collaborator."
This respect that transcends life forms is a key variable in the evolution of cosmic civilizations towards a higher form.
ScrewGumm paused for a moment, then continued:
"Conclusion: After multi-dimensional ethical calculations, I fully agree with Ms. Black Tower's judgment."
Please allow me to add in my personal capacity: I believe that working with you would be a delightful experience, like fine gears finding a perfectly meshed partner.
I vote in favor—may we together compose this movement of the scientific symphony.
With both votes in favor cast, Bai Luan turned her gaze to the Big Black Tower, who was forking a piece of cake and taking a bite:
"Why are you looking at me? Do you think this genius needs to vote? I already invited you to join this project a long time ago."
The three affirmative votes have already declared the outcome of this meeting.
Although I know that the work ahead will be very troublesome, I don't care.
Three geniuses voted for themselves; what greater achievement could there be in the world?
How come none of you geniuses could see through my true nature as a mortal?
That's enough.
A smile appeared on Bai Luan's lips.
Whether I'm a genius or not is no longer important.
Since you're willing to vote for me, then I have no choice but to...
I will do everything I can to prove to everyone that you were right.
Bai Luan stood up, feeling deeply honored, and said:
"Although I still think I am not quite qualified to compare myself to you."
But even I will not back down now. I will do everything in my power until I stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
Daheita nodded in response to Bai Luan's remarks.
"It should have been done a long time ago."
As Bai Luan returned to his seat, the exchange meeting for geniuses began.
Various imaginative exchanges began, and Bai Luan could only try her best to keep up.
At the same time, I secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I didn't completely misunderstand.
In the following period, Bai Luan's workload did indeed increase significantly.
Because of their involvement in the simulated universe project, Bai Luan and Da Heita spent more time together.
This is actually not too bad, after all, I've been spending every day in the dark room with the Black Tower, so I'm used to it.
The problem is that sometimes you're not alone with the Great Black Tower; there's another genius present.
Facing two geniuses at the same time puts a lot more pressure on me.
While I wasn't completely ignorant, I still found it quite challenging.
The only advantage I have is that I've seen the fully-fledged simulated universe in the game and know its general direction.
But that's all she knows. How to get there is entirely up to Bai Luan to figure out for herself.
He and Screw Gum typed the basic code for the simulated universe, and discussed with Nguyen Mai how to connect Destiny to the simulated universe.
Even the most relaxed daily tasks have turned into discussions with the Great Black Tower about the simulated universe.
It feels like I've temporarily gone from being an assistant to the Big Black Tower to being the shared assistant to three geniuses.
Fortunately, the other geniuses besides the Great Black Tower don't come here often, otherwise Bai Luantie wouldn't have been able to hold on.
When will these miserable days finally end...?
Bai Luan experienced the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife for the first time in a long time.
Who understands the sense of redemption that comes from discovering a whole host of knowledge points just to understand a single sentence from them?
Although Bai Luan complained endlessly about his current life, other geniuses saw it differently.
Both Ruan Mei and Luo Sigumu felt Bai Luan's strengths when they first interacted with him.
An exceptionally keen sense of smell.
Whenever someone asks a question, even if the person asking is still a little unclear about it, Bai Luan not only understands it, but can also express it in a clearer way.
An amazing learning speed.
It's frighteningly fast; every time I see him, I can sense that he's become even smarter than he was yesterday.
Progress is not uncommon, but progress every moment is truly rare.
A qualified genius.
She is also the perfect assistant.
But most importantly—they had never seen anyone handle the Black Tower so well.
Even the most good-natured Screwgoom had to use a lot of coaxing and pleading to persuade the Great Black Tower.
Bai Luan, however, was able to cut straight to the heart of the Great Black Tower and immediately persuaded him that he had gone too far.
The Great Black Tower also sensed something was amiss.
She was puzzled.
