I'm on Star Iron, and I've loaded the Commander Simulator.

After all, in their eyes, this guy who never leaves his house and becomes an envoy the moment he appears must be extremely intelligent; the term "genius" alone is certainly insufficient to describe him.

Lu Xian didn't say much. He simply took a glass of something that looked like orange juice, then pulled out a chair in an unladylike manner and sat down in a seat towards the back.

After the Black Tower puppet appeared, the group discussed how to simulate the Star God in a realistic world, what materials they needed to construct the computer behind it, what kind of simulated world they needed to build, how to access the imaginary energy, and so on.

They talked at length, and halfway through their conversation, they even started arguing.

Fortunately, they calmed down quickly and continued discussing what they considered to be very important projects.

Only Lu Xian stood to one side, drinking orange juice and watching them discuss something.

Unfortunately, Lu Xian couldn't understand a single word.

To prevent these confusing characters from making him dizzy, his brain even filtered out what they were saying.

"Um, may I ask what Mr. Lu Xian's insights are?" After catching a glimpse of the faint smile on Lu Xian's lips, Hei Ta turned his attention to him.

"I'm an idiot, I don't understand anything." Lu Xian couldn't suppress his smile. After putting the cup on the table, he changed his posture to make his back more comfortable.

The other four people who heard this showed obvious surprise on their faces.

Their previously organized train of thought was even disrupted by this "I'm an idiot" statement.

Everyone present could tell that Lu Xian was not lying.

Then, an indescribable sense of absurdity crept into their hearts.

They don't understand at all; it's completely illogical.

"Don't overthink it, and don't look at me like that. I'm just saying the basic meaning of the words; there's no deeper meaning. If you want to know the secrets of the Star Gods, why go through all this trouble? Why not ask the Star Gods themselves, ask them how they became Star Gods, and what it was like to embark on this path to the known pinnacle?" Lu Xian stood up from his chair, taking a sip of orange juice as he spoke to them.

“Absurd,” Black Tower retorted without hesitation.

When she met the Venerable Master of Wisdom, she faced countless difficulties and obstacles, and it was even more difficult to ask him a single question.

How could it possibly be as this guy in front of me says?

Especially when asking about some of the most crucial secrets.

This is similar to asking a lottery manager what the jackpot number is for each draw.

"Stupid! It seems you're even dumber than me!" Lu Xian placed the glass in his hand on a small table without hesitation, then retorted. Before the Black Tower could continue its attack, he used his ultimate move, "Tell me, am I right, Venerable Scholar?"

"Hmm... no, based on your previous display of intelligence, what you said to them at the beginning was the correct one."

The scene suddenly shifted from an extremely bright room to the room where the Learned One was. After flashing a red light on his body, he answered Lu Xian's question.

Aside from their shock, the group quickly began to recall the words Lu Xian had said at the beginning.

I'm an idiot.

They felt their brilliant minds begin to shut down.

However, the words from the Venerable Master interrupted their slump, drawing their attention to the most intelligent being in the universe.

"Regarding the origin of the Star God, I'm sure Mr. Lu Xian knows more about it than I do. However, since Mr. Lu Xian wants to know about the Star God in the mortal world, I will naturally tell you everything I know. But I hope that Mr. Lu Xian can exchange a secret of equal value later."

The way the group looked at Lu Xian became even more intriguing, with some looking doubtful, some calculating, and some eager.

However, Lu Xian's appearance also revealed some information that was difficult for them to accept.

Among those in the same "genius club," the differences extend beyond intelligence; in some cases, the disparity in social status is even more stark.

It's outrageous how difficult it is for them to even see the Venerable Master, yet Lu Xian can summon him at any time.

Most importantly, he seems to possess many secrets.

As they pondered how to deal with Lu Xian, Bo Shizun began to unravel the mystery.

He explained to them clearly about the origin of the Star God, the source of the Star God's power, and the Star God's mission.

However, Lu Xian still didn't quite understand, only knowing that everything was related to imaginary numbers and the Tree of Existence.

After an unknown amount of time, the Venerable Master Boshi finally finished telling the group about the many secrets of the Star God.

At this moment, Lu Xian was in a drowsy state.

It was only when Ruan Mei gently nudged his arm from the side that he snapped out of his daze.

"It seems Mr. Lu Xian isn't very interested in knowing the secrets of the Star God. Will Mr. Lu Xian still keep his promise?"

After a moment's pause, the learned scholar spoke to Lu Xian, who was rubbing his eyes.

“Ah, sorry, I don’t understand. It’s not that I don’t want to know.” Lu Xian shrugged and replied, “And about the secret, well… you, me, and them are currently in a simulated universe.”

"what?"

"what?"

Could it be that our project has succeeded?

"That's impossible."

A great deal of restlessness arose from their mouths as they began to try to study everything around them. Only after their research yielded no results did they turn their attention to the Venerable Master.

"I need more calculations to verify the certainty of this statement."

After He finished speaking, the red light on His body began to flash at a high frequency, and many cables rapidly transmitted energy, causing the boundless room to become hot.

Under Bo Shizun's guidance, Lu Xian and the others returned to the place where they had previously held a meeting.

They stared at the pile of documents on the table in front of them, and fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, one of the robots finally spoke to Lu Xian and asked a question.

"Respected Mr. Lu Xian, is the simulated universe you mentioned real?"

Even the mechanical voice trembled slightly.

"I have never lied to you." Lu Xian stretched his slightly stiff joints before speaking slowly.

An eerie silence fell over the room, until…

"Take me out of here, I'm going to destroy the Black Tower in reality."

A powerful and resounding voice rang in Lu Xian's ears.

19. Aha was completely baffled.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Lu Xian stood up from his chair and walked out of the door with slightly elegant steps, leaving the few people in the conference room looking at each other blankly.

"Are we really in a simulated universe?" After Lu Xian left, Ruan Mei asked the others again to confirm.

This news was too sensational for them.

These wise people, in particular, find it even more difficult to accept such things.

"Hmm... the truth is too elusive. Even if we verify whether this is a simulated universe, we are still powerless. After all, even the Venerable Master Bo Shi was unaware that this place was a simulated universe." The No. 84 who had previously invited Lu Xian spoke to the group with a hint of dejection.

They debated the question of whether it was a simulated universe, spending a long time without reaching a definitive conclusion.

You are still studying all sorts of knowledge.

You have gained a basic understanding of hacking techniques.

[Reminded by the original, you recall that this is a simulated universe. On the day her doll came to you again, you didn't hesitate to try to seize control of her.]

[After a few seconds, her eyes were filled with shock, shocked that someone like you could be so technically inept, as if a paramecium were using hacking techniques.]

She was unwilling, extremely unwilling, and even more shocked by the fact that this was a simulated universe. After all, in a simulated universe, one doesn't need to care what others think, since everyone else is just an NPC constructed from data.

She felt that someone as intelligent and accomplished as herself should never be confined to a simulated universe, even if it was designed that way.

She repeated those words to you, and also proactively shared some techniques related to her hive mindset.

However, you still said you couldn't do it. She wasn't discouraged; she simply used various scientific instruments to observe your nerve fluctuations.

You begin to study the limited knowledge the Black Tower has taught you.

After studying for several days, you began to understand some of the details. You obtained a small amount of creation authority from the butler robot, created a puppet, and tried to control it.

Although it's still quite amateurish, it does indeed resemble the Black Tower in some ways.

[However, Black Tower seems to have gone a bit mad. Do you think it's possible to just ask for a few dolls? After all, she has tens of thousands of dolls in total, so losing a few won't make much of a difference.]

But then you feel that's pointless; what you get by begging is never as interesting as what you get by stealing.

You may continue your studies.

You may continue your studies.

[But after studying it for several days, I discovered that the Black Tower seems to be actively giving away dolls; she might have gone mad.]

[It's the kind of madness that comes from knowing too much truth and knowledge. Like in Cthulhu novels, a mortal confronts an evil god, and then their mind is overwhelmed by knowledge.]

[You suspect that secretly acquiring a few dolls could lead to a situation where you and she switch places.]

However, you should continue studying this kind of knowledge. After all, this is just a simulation. The more you study it, the more likely it will come in handy in the next simulation or even in the real world.

[You may continue your research. However, one day, the Venerable Master of Learning finally completed his calculations.]

[You and the four people from last time were pulled into that space.]

He acknowledged that this was a simulated world.

[He said He was preparing to activate self-destruct mode and hoped you could record the magnitude of the Star God's full-force self-destruction.]
