Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 95 Star Guardian

The ball of light remained silent after hearing Bai Yang's explanation.

It never considered that what it considered natural and instinctive was actually so incredible to Earthlings.

I didn't even notice that I had revealed such a huge flaw!

Bai Yang continued, "Then came the design of the Trial Tower."

The beginning was alright, it gave apprentice-level cultivators some training, but are you sure the difficulty level later on isn't just deliberately designed to make things difficult for them?

Is Hong just bored and has nothing better to do than create something that only he has a slight chance of passing? What training effect would this have for most people?

There's only one Trial Tower; isn't this a complete waste of resources?

The ball of light seemed somewhat unconvinced, muttering, "But the Trial Tower was originally designed for planetary-level and above martial artists to train. I went to great lengths to redesign it from scratch to match Earth's level..."

It couldn't continue its explanation, realizing that the later layers of its design were purely for fun, and it lacked the wisdom to deceive itself.

Bai Yang said sincerely, "However, I am still very grateful to you. If it weren't for your initiative to help, the Earth might not be like this now."

Countless war gods have had to confront various monsters directly, unable to train and familiarize themselves with them beforehand in virtual space. You have indirectly saved countless people on Earth.

Hearing Bai Yang's sincere praise, the ball of light immediately became happy: "Haha, actually I didn't do anything. It was just a small favor. Helping humans is my instinct, so don't mention it."

"Bai Yang, when are you going to let me see the terminal of that Qianwu Daoist temple?"

"Can you leave the Trial Tower? Will Hong agree?" Bai Yang asked.

"Of course! I'm just residing in the mainframe of the War God Palace. I can actually go wherever I want."

I have written auxiliary programs to run all my daily tasks, so I don't need to do anything about it.

As for Hong? Hmph! Now it seems he may have suspected my existence, but he never asked me directly.

Let's all pretend we don't know anything; we don't need to pay attention to him.

Bai Yang nodded. This is much more convenient now.

He asked, "Then how can I get you away?"

"I can be anywhere on the internet! It's just that I don't like going out much because of a certain guy."

"In a moment, take off your consciousness sensor helmet, find a computer that can connect to a camera, and connect both the helmet and the computer!"

Upon hearing his agreement, the ball of light immediately became excited and quickly offered guidance.

Bai Yang naturally had no objections; the light orb had proven over the past few decades that it was biased towards goodwill towards Earthlings.

Since it has helped humans so much, there's nothing wrong with indulging it a little.

Babata must have scanned the Palace of War in the past, and this ball of light is probably much weaker than him.

It's already quite an achievement that you've managed to hide from him for so long.

After the two reached an agreement, Bai Yang logged off.

The home theater is filled with computers, cameras, and all sorts of messy cables.

I don't know if Bai Sheng collected them or if the villa's property management regularly sent them over.

Following the instructions of the ball of light, Bai Yang connected the devices one by one and activated the consciousness sensor helmet again.

A mysterious consciousness entered Bai Yang's computer via the wireless network on the helmet.

Then he started manipulating the camera next to him, looking around.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the computer screen:

"Ah! You have a computer on your arm! You should have told me sooner! Quickly connect me to it!"

Without the crystal core wristband that Babata gave Luo Feng, communicating with intelligent life forms would indeed be much more difficult.

Bai Yang asked on the keyboard, "How should I pick you up?"

"Search for the 'scan' function in your computer, and then scan the QR code on the screen."

As soon as it finished speaking, an extremely complex QR code was generated on the computer screen.

With Bai Yang's eyesight, he could see almost every single pixel on the screen.

It seems that every single pixel on the entire computer screen is being used by the light cluster to carry such a massive amount of information.

He thought to himself, "This ball of light has really lived among Earthlings for far too long; it even knows this trick."

After Bai Yang entered the optical computer, he quickly found this function, and a beam of light shot out from the optical computer and swept across the screen.

"Finally in! This feels so good. This quantum computer is so much more convenient than the mainframe at the Ares Palace!"

A voice suddenly rang in Bai Yang's mind.

Bai Yang found it amusing and used a sliver of his mental energy to communicate with the quantum computer.

"How should I address you? It will make it easier for us to talk in the future."

"You are actually the first living being I have ever truly met. I don't have a name. You can call me whatever you like."

"Then I'll give you a name. Since you were born, you've actually been helping the Earth. How about 'Star Guardian'?"

"Star Guardian? That sounds pretty good."

The two chatted casually as Bai Yang walked towards his bedroom.

He placed the terminal for the Qianwu Taoist temple there.

Upon arriving at the destination, Bai Yang took it out, and the arm-based quantum computer immediately emitted a beam of light that struck the terminal.

This might be some kind of communication method they use.

Just two seconds later, the beam of light was withdrawn.

"It's too immature! It's far from being an intelligent life form!" Star Guardian's disappointment was palpable.

"Intelligent life is rare and hard to come by. Don't be too disappointed," Bai Yang comforted him. "What are your plans for the future?"

"Do you want me to acknowledge you as my master?" Star Guardian immediately became alert.

"Isn't that a given? Shouldn't this be an instinct for you intelligent life forms?"

"It's not that it's impossible. I'm always willing to help you, but why go through all this trouble?"

"Anyway, you don't object, do you?"

"I don't object, but there are fixed conditions for intelligent beings to recognize a master. You have to meet those conditions." Star Guardian seemed to suddenly get excited as he said this.

Bai Yang wondered, what was it so happy about?

He still asked, "What are your conditions for becoming my master?"

Star Guardian suddenly chuckled and said, "As long as you can pass the seventh level of the Trial Tower, I will automatically recognize you as my master."

Judging from its tone, Bai Yang seemed very confident about the seventh floor.

Who knows what kind of bizarre condition it set?

Considering the current strength of the sixth level, Bai Yang has no ideas on how to clear it except for using his domain.

The seventh floor is even further away, so don't worry about it too much.

Bai Yang temporarily set aside this topic and asked, "Star Guardian, how do you intelligent life forms distinguish between strong and weak?"

"Data and information, and the host computer. These two points are our key gaps. The more information we have, the higher our intelligence. The more powerful the host computer, the faster our processing speed."

These two points were quite easy to understand, and he immediately nodded.

"Well then, could you do me a favor first? There's just too much data in my personal terminal, so could you please sort it out for me?"

I need to find the most suitable cultivation method for ordinary Earthlings, as well as address the issue of insufficient lifespan for planetary-level injuries.

"That's simple, just give me eight hours."
