Chapter 1239 The Power of Knowledge

“That’s right. Uniqueness is a power beyond the abyss. This attribute has always existed in the unique one, like an inherent characteristic that never actively manifests itself, but only takes effect at specific times.”

"If the abyss had not descended upon his world, he would have lived a carefree life. Uniqueness would not have brought him any benefit; on the contrary, it would have caused him great distress."

“He will find that he is dumber than others. Problems that others can easily figure out take him a long time to think about. Others can calculate mathematical problems in their minds, but he will ‘fall into a coma’ as soon as numbers appear in his mind.”

"This difference is explained by 'individual differences' in human society. The differences between people are even greater than the differences between humans and monkeys. Some people are not good at certain things, and this is also common in human society."

"If the abyss had not descended, this torment would have accompanied him throughout his life, his potential uniqueness obscured by the widespread human understanding, and he would never have realized that he was special until his death."

"That accidental characteristic will also disappear after his death, just like fireworks that were never set off."

“In this vast world, there are countless individuals who acquire certain attributes by chance or by necessity, but these attributes cannot be manifested in their current environment and remain undiscovered until their death. This happens every moment.”

"He was just lucky to encounter the abyss descending and the world he lived in being corrupted, which made this attribute manifest and allowed him to realize his specialness."

"Only when the abyss lays bare every plank of wood before humanity can he discover that he is a special nail."

Listening to the words of the eternal thirsty man, Martin finally understood that the manifestation of uniqueness also requires the condition of "chance".

"The abyss has descended..."

For Mo Ling, it turned out to be an opportunity.

This was something he had never imagined.

……

"Isn't the pursuit of knowledge a fascinating thing? Through your own thinking, you slowly approach the answer, feeling your thoughts spiral upwards, reaching the summit of the mountain of knowledge, looking down at the path you've walked. The logic of those thoughts is like the bricks that build yourself, each one full of meaning."

"The Thirsty One suddenly said to Martin."

Martin then realized that the reason the Eternal Thirst didn't tell him the answer directly was that he wanted him to figure it out himself.

"This is indeed very fulfilling."

But he was still completely lost about the direction.

"You still haven't told me where to look for uniqueness."

Knowing this about uniqueness didn't seem to help his search at all; he still didn't know how to determine his direction.

Unable to filter the world or categorize objects, we can only slowly explore one world at a time, like headless flies.

"I don't know. I've told you everything I know," the Eternal Thirst replied calmly.

“If I knew where to look, I would have told you directly. This is all the knowledge I have. I am also very curious where you will find other uniqueness… Consider this knowledge as my investment in you.”

The Thirsty One did not propose any "deal" or ask anything of Martin; he simply shared his knowledge with him free of charge.

"Besides that, you know nothing else?" Martin asked again to confirm.

"Well, there's so much knowledge in this world, it's normal that I don't know it," the Ever Thirst replied calmly. At this moment, it seemed to have lost its thirst for knowledge and appeared unusually "Buddhist."

"I thought you knew everything..." Martin couldn't help but retort.

"I also wish I knew everything."

The Thirst was completely unconcerned about Martin's offense; it was past the age of fighting and killing, and interested only in knowledge, it wouldn't care about irrelevant details.

"I'll go back and think about it more carefully. Maybe I can figure something out from this knowledge..."

"Thank you for sharing your knowledge."

After a moment's hesitation, Martin still expressed his gratitude to the Eternal Thirst.

"Are you really going to thank me? Then can you cooperate with me in the experiment? I can help you break free from the shackles of dreams and become a more powerful being... We can use kimchi to create a trap, so that dreams will fall into it. I have a bold idea..." The Thirsty One started muttering those mystical words again. After saying goodbye, Martin hurriedly fled the library. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would really be captured and used for experiments.

……

After returning to Lu Luqi's side, Martin relayed to him in detail the information he had obtained from the Eternal Thirst.

"Is uniqueness an attribute that exists outside the abyss? That's quite unexpected."

"Knowing this won't help our search at all," Martin said regretfully.

“No, it helps.” A strange light flashed across Lu Youqi’s glasses; he seemed to have a different perspective on the matter.

"Really?" Martin looked at Lu Qi with suspicion, waiting for his explanation.

Lu Youqi didn't rush to answer. He coughed a few times and took out several decks of cards from the drawer.

He then placed all the decks of cards on the table.

Then, he took a piece of white paper from the table, folded it neatly into the shape of a playing card, and put it into one of the decks of cards.

Martin was wondering what he was going to do when Lu You suddenly pointed to the decks of cards and said in a serious tone:

"This is a parallel world connected by the abyss."

He then pointed to the white paper:
"This is Mo Ling. He's unique. You can understand that, right?"

Martin nodded. It was easy to understand. The blank sheet of paper was unique among the playing cards. All the other cards had a corresponding counterpart, but this blank sheet of paper was special, just like Morling.

"Our current search for other unique cards is like looking for a blank sheet of paper in countless decks of cards. We can only keep flipping over every single deck. But if we know that this blank sheet of paper doesn't belong in the deck, then there's another way..."

"What do you mean?" Martin asked, puzzled.

“We don’t need to look anymore. ‘Unique’ doesn’t belong to these playing cards. It’s not a matter of a certain suit, a certain number, or a card with a broken corner. We don’t need to think about these things anymore…” Lu Youqi shrugged.

He found another piece of white paper on the table, folded it to the size of a playing card, and held it in his hand.

"Can't we just fold another one?"

……

Martin was stunned; the tentacles inside the glass jar remained motionless.

He was completely blown away by Lu Zhiqi's idea.

Router did not stop his narration:
"This blank sheet of paper originally came from outside the deck of cards, so it is unique in the deck. Because of this parallel relationship, it actually makes our operation easier, and we don't even necessarily need a blank sheet of paper..."

Lu Qi casually picked up a pass and tossed it into the deck of cards.

"This works too, and this is the only one."

He picked up a pen and placed it on the deck of cards.

"We don't even need to be bound by shape."

He pointed to the decks of cards.

“If we just find a way to bring something in from the ‘outside,’ we’ll become unique among them, without having to consider the differences in playing cards, whether their backs are the same, or printing defects…”

Lu Lu's eyes gleamed as he looked at Martin.

"us……"

"You can create your own unique one."
