CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 33: NEWS AND EXPERT ANALYSIS

Awakening from this sleep, feeling refreshed.

Liu Jun felt completely at ease, and his thoughts became much clearer.

Rather than immediately opening the Mushroom Soup, the first thing he did was check the internet to see the latest developments regarding the "Angel Incident."

After all, Mushroom Soup can be viewed at any time.

But finding out if Insect Thirteen has been caught is the top priority.

At this time.

The news segment in Rehe City had already launched a special feature.

Liu Jun went to the living room, used telekinesis to open the fridge, and casually cooked some breakfast while he opened the official TV channel on the sofa.

In the video, a middle-aged researcher named Li Ruxiang was speaking eloquently:

"After a night of sleepless testing and supplementing with various energy supplements, this Angel has completely transformed."

The screen showed a different kind of PC001 Amber Swallowtail Butterfly Intelligent Brain.

"It takes about eighty thousand energy supplements to fully transform into this Little Angel Intelligent Brain in my hand."

"Although both are first-level Intelligent Brains, the species are obviously different. The Little Angel Intelligent Brain model is expected to be extremely valuable."

"According to current investigations, about 9.8 million Amber Swallowtail Butterfly Intelligent Brains underwent sequence mutations last night."

This number seems quite large.

As one of the three basic models, its civilian adoption rate is self-evident.

"In fact, this number is very small for the entire market. If the Angel King doesn’t perform a second operation, the market will only have less than 10 million limited editions."

"As for cloning?"

"As everyone knows, duplicating an Intelligent Brain significantly decreases its functionality, and they become mere pirated versions."

Seeing this, many people were pounding their chests in regret.

Many had rented out their Intelligent Brains at the time and hadn’t had the chance to retrieve them back last night, causing them to miss out on this excitement.

Reflecting now, they realize they’ve lost big time!

But Liu Jun was clear-headed, secretly thinking, "Isn’t this some big shot hoarding supplies, bringing in experts to stir up things, hyping the scarcity to increase the price?"

After all, there are too many unscrupulous capitalists nowadays, you have to be cautious.

On TV, the expert continued:

"As for the use of this first-level Intelligent Brain, what’s it for?"

"Currently, it doesn’t have much practical use. A first-level is still just a first-level. However, making it the core to create an Angel Pet is still interesting."

Modern people also raise electronic bionic pets.

And where does some of the pet’s intelligence come from?

Naturally, from an Intelligent Brain.

At this moment on the screen, the middle-aged scientist was showing everyone a Jurassic-era creature—a Little Angel.

It hopped around on the ground, bouncing adorably.

And those tiny wings could fly with telekinesis and knot various ribbons by spinning webs.

The scientist explained:

"This was recreated by using an Intelligent Brain plus tissue cloning and other technology to revitalize it into a Little Angel."

"Unfortunately, it’s just an Intelligent Brain in the end, without a real soul. The knotting skill doesn’t allow these Little Angels to evolve into Great Angels or other life forms through cocoons."

Even so, many young girls were captivated.

They felt their childhood figurine—the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly—now has a new companion with this advanced figurine!

This pet, a limited edition, is incredibly cool!

This TV promotion saw nearly every reseller seeing the opportunity.

Who wouldn’t want an adorable Little Angel hopping or flying alongside them?

Which rich person wouldn’t want to flaunt having an angelic beautiful mind?

This future trend is surely going to be the fashion in Rehe City!

Moreover, they could even design that Little Angel pet, crown it, and style it in various ways.

When Liu Jun saw this, he suddenly understood and could vaguely discern Insect Thirteen’s scheme from the previous night.

Killing three birds with one stone.

1. By entering the game, consuming others’ brains to heal his injuries.

2. Rehe City is an Academy City; 90% are students or recent graduates.

This city is utterly hopeless, filled with unreformed larvae, and he wants to give some students the chance to transform into butterflies.

With this move, Li Feng and Zou Anmeng could earn substantial funds by selling these Intelligent Brains.

3. By spawning a group of "Little Angel" Intelligent Brains, establishing his own Saint Faction to declare his arrival in this world.

"It seems he quickly integrated into this world’s rules." Liu Jun sighed.

For an entity at Insect Thirteen’s level, to conquer territories and establish an era, it’s impossible for him to be a fool.

The methods are naturally superior.

He knows he’s surrounded by wolves, in an era steeped in darkness, yet he yearns for light, maintaining his belief to carve out his own path and bring a sunlit sky bright for this era.

He might even aim to rebuild his Angel Dynasty, to reign again, guide humanity towards goodness and protect the world...

Behind him, the TV continued broadcasting Li Ruxiang’s analysis: "How to cause an Intelligent Brain model to mutate? This may involve the mysterious power of a [Divine Object]."

"The power of the [Aged] is also a force accelerating life evolution. Perhaps that’s why Amber Swallowtail Butterfly Intelligent Brains exhibited aberrant evolutionary reactions."

"And what existence is this Creator God, granting all this?"

The voice gradually quieted down.

The program transitioned into a Q&A session.

Host: "Do you believe the Creator God really exists?"

Li Ruxiang deftly dodged the question:

"This sort of question lacks insight. Without more evidence, discussing it is meaningless. I’m more interested in the Divine Trial."

"The [Speed] treasure he obtained possesses the consciousness flowing ability we see only in fourth-level Electric Realm. Without it, how could he escape?"

"And the second [Aged] treasure, which allowed him to repeatedly escape death."

"Relying on these two Divine Treasures alone got him to where he is today."

Li Ruxiang’s analysis still seems rather systemic.

Host: "So, when will the Divine Trial of our era begin?"

Li Ruxiang: "I don’t know, maybe soon?"

Host: "Then, is this Angel King similar to their era’s Prophet, a refugee from the previous epoch?"

Li Ruxiang: "This guess is interesting, does every era really have a Prophet who escapes to the next epoch?"

"Being a Prophet tasked with guiding civilizations, one must naturally be benevolent and kind. This Angel King fully fits that standard. I find it highly likely."

Experts must be sensational to attract viewers.

Li Ruxiang is a professional.

Host: "Since this great Prophet bears the mission of this era, is Rehe Heavy Industry’s attempt to capture him defying fate, embarking on a path of unrighteousness?"

Li Ruxiang broke out in cold sweat, holding the Little Angel in his arms.

For the sake of topics, dare you ask such questions?

Do you want me dead!

Li Ruxiang dared not badmouth Rehe Heavy Industry, he evaded the question: "This, I’m not too sure either. Many Saints in the company are naturally intelligent and far-sighted, how could we ordinary people guess their plans."

The host secretly cursed him for not taking the bait.

Rumor has it, internally at Rehe Heavy Industry, there are people dissatisfied with this professor not reporting the discovery of an Angel, which led to the current outbreak.

Yet, factions are protecting him in the shadows.

Now, they invited him on stage to wait for him to slip up.

Li Ruxiang understood the faction struggle this time; his performance concerned his life. Switching topics, he suggested: "No matter the authenticity of this history, whether it uncovers the truths of ancient epochs, I recommend establishing a relevant department."

According to the process.

After "Expert Discussion," the show entered the final "Expert Recommendations" segment.

"I suggest this department’s responsibilities include exploring ancient information, investigating, exploring the so-called Divine Treasures, Creator God, and ancient civilizations that might have existed..."

"Of course, there’s no need for concern. Based on existing analysis, we are still in the epoch’s earliest era."

"We might not even see the dusk of this epoch before we die, so there’s no worry about death."

"For us, this is instead an opportunity!"

"It might even let us drive civilization’s development, leading us thoroughly toward eternal life."

Click.

The program came to a complete end.
