Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 49 Please, Simulator Brother!

When it comes to enhancing spatial awareness, the exploration of the Void Realm Star is indispensable.

After several simulations, Hunzhen has become basically certain that continuing down the path of being a researcher for the Roselle family will no longer bring him much improvement.

Although the Sims still aspire to develop a Class B drug in the future, Hunzhen, with his detached God's-eye view, knows that it is basically impossible.

The simulators' technology in researching pharmaceuticals on the Sky Realm Star has basically reached its peak. They can even produce C-grade pharmaceuticals using scraps that are secretly kept, which shows their remarkable research capabilities.

However, due to limitations in raw materials, no matter how much the technology is improved, it is impossible to produce potions of grade C or higher.

Summarize the information obtained from these multiple simulations.

The Drexel family mines the veins, the Roselleta family researches and manufactures potions, so the remaining raw materials... don't need to waste another simulation to troubleshoot. It's obvious that they are definitely related to the Zarro family.

"Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the Drexler family possesses classified 'highest purity' Void Crystals, which could greatly affect the effects of the finished potion. But simulations should definitely not come into contact with something of that caliber in the short term."

Hunzhen quickly finalized his strategy and immediately began a new simulation.

After rigorous selection, you successfully became the son-in-law of the Zarro family and married their eldest daughter, the gentle and beautiful Lavinia.

Hunzhen was not surprised that the name had reappeared.

Despite trying to keep a low profile and reducing the talents they reveal, the people the Sims marry into different families remain the same.

The reason is simple...

Even from the very beginning, the androids' aptitude already far surpassed that of their peers from the three major families.

The reason these daughters of noble families didn't marry before was because geniuses are rare, and there simply wasn't anyone worthy of their marriage.

As the talent of the simulated human is further improved, the level of attention they receive will increase accordingly, but the marriage partner is already the highest-ranking member of the family.

You can't expect a Sim to marry the aunts or grandmothers of people like Lavinia from the previous generation, or even the generation before that, can you?

It's not really appropriate... to be honest.

The Zaruo family doesn't tolerate idlers. You obeyed the higher-ups' arrangements and became a member of the family's guard, serving as a guard squad leader.

Lavinia expressed her desire to have children with you, and after you repeatedly avoided her using work as an excuse, Lavinia was filled with resentment, while you felt no remorse.

One day, Zaro specifically sought you out for a talk, inquiring about your marital relationship with Lavinia. Clearly, unlike the proud Joanna, the virtuous and motherly Lavinia cared more about her relationship with you and had a stronger desire to have children. Perhaps your excessive defensiveness aroused Zaro's suspicion, and faced with his obvious hint, you knew this was an unavoidable question. As a harmonious and capable couple, it's impossible not to have sexual relations.

[You no longer refused to be intimate with Lavinia, but instead secretly used your spatial perception to transfer your genetic information without alerting Lavinia.]

In the days that followed, Lavinia didn't discover your trickery, but it was a pity that you two still hadn't won the lottery.

Time passed, and in the fifth year, the Genius Battle ended. Your final ranking in the Trial Space was 4507th. You ultimately failed to qualify for the top 1000 through the elimination rounds. No longer suppressing your strength, you chose to break through the cosmic-level bottleneck.

In the sixth year, you expressed your desire for promotion to your family. After a period of observation, you successfully became one of the twelve commanders of the Zaruo family.

[In the ninth year, having gradually risen to a higher position of power, you subtly investigated and, through personnel changes within the family's guard, gradually discovered clues that the family might be secretly making other moves.]

Shortly after you discovered traces of a special forces unit, Zaro specifically sought you out for a talk, discussing life and values.

He was not satisfied with some of your answers and warned you that knowing information about people you don't need to know often doesn't end well.

You dared not investigate further and lived a quiet life for ten years.

[This simulation has ended]

Please select the inheritance direction.

[1. Material Inheritance (Life Level Upgraded to Universe-Level Sixth Order)]

[2. Soul Inheritance (Slightly improved understanding of spatial laws; other experiences...)]

3. Forgo the profits from this simulation.

"Is the Zarō family's secret related to this hidden combat force?"

"A cyborg unit? Or something else?"

After selecting the inheritance direction, Hunzhen browsed the simulation records and fell into deep thought.

The results of this simulation were not as good as before. Apart from the sentence "traces of special forces", most of the other information could be considered invalid. It was one of the few simulations in recent times with extremely low returns.

Logically, the Sim could rely on his wife, a woman originally from the Zarro family, to enhance the speed of information gathering and improve secrecy.

The latest novel is first published here!

But after these simulations, Hunzhen has roughly established a personality model of Lavinia.

Lavinia is undoubtedly a virtuous wife and loving mother, the closest to the type of traditional woman in her previous life.

She doesn't seem to be like the haughty Joanna, who would give the Sims a hard time; she seems to be a devoted wife who listens to her husband and obeys his every word, but...

Of the three potential marriage partners, considering both family and Sims, Lavinia is undoubtedly the one most inclined to be loyal to her family, even less so than Joanna.

She is the kind of person who puts family interests first.

If it didn't conflict with the Zarro family's interests, Lavinia would not hesitate to stand on the Sims' side.

Conversely, if it were a matter of sacrificing a simulated human for the sake of the family, Hunzhen believes that Lavinia would most likely choose to betray them without hesitation.

As for Joanna, specifically referring to the Joanna who has transformed from pure arrogance to haughtiness, I really think she will most likely choose to inform on the Sims after hesitating for a while.

This is a person who appears arrogant on the surface, yet is also driven by emotions.

As for Teshir, he was the calmest and most clear-headed, yet he also possessed a conscience in the general sense.

There's no need to worry about her betraying you, nor about her being unreliable at crucial moments. Putting aside her status as a partner, she's also an excellent teammate who can score high marks. Hunzhen can understand the Sims to some extent why so many Sims like to be with her.

With the time for Berlan's clearance operation drawing ever closer, time is running out for Hunzhen and the simulators.

"We need to speed up our exploration, otherwise we definitely won't be able to catch up. Even if we obtain high-level raw materials, we won't be able to improve our spatial perception much in a short period of time."

"Since that's the case..."

Hunzhen smirked: "My simulacrum brother, I'm begging you to be a scumbag for me this once!"
