Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Chapter 257 Chasing Stars: Teacher, have you been in a bad mood lately?

Lin Yi: "If you haven't gained anything, you might as well take a good rest. The trip to Yi Ting is destined to be anything but peaceful. It's also necessary to conserve your energy and re-clarify your purpose for this trip. What do you want? What are you willing to give?"

Screw Gum: "Thank you for your concern, I will keep that in mind. There are still some important equations that haven't been solved, so I'll take my leave now."

After Screw Gum left, Lin Yi sat up.

Although it may seem confusing at first glance, it is not complicated once you remove the distractors.

The involvement of the Star Core Hunters suggests that this is part of the "script".

"Slave of Fate" - Eriol, its script has always been an effort to deny the end of the universe.

Preventing the disaster and killing the Doomsday Star God were the driving forces behind Elio's actions.

Given a clear understanding of the driving force behind their actions, the actions of the Star Core Hunters are actually quite easy to predict.

Although the details of Onpharos are unknown, Onpharos was the last stop for Qiong in her exploration of the original universe.

According to Kafka, the script here was drastically altered due to Lin Yi's appearance, and Elio was so angry that he tore the script apart.

The fact that both the original and new scripts feature "Onfaros" is enough to demonstrate the importance of this place.

This place is so well hidden that even Screws's pursuit has been unsuccessful. It could not have formed naturally; there must be some dark force manipulating it.

The Star Core Hunters are luring outsiders there... isn't that interesting?

What role did Lai Gu Shi, whom Sai Fei Er mentioned, play in all of this?

Saifeier was personally sent by Laigushi, specifically asking for help from Luogumu... But is this really a request for help?

She can easily send people in and out of the hidden "Onfaros" and knows enough about the outside world, unlike Saifeier who knows nothing.

According to what he learned from Cypher, he was quite certain that the screw would solve the problem, yet he had little respect for the screw.

Lin Yi concluded: "This person is definitely not simple, and his ambitions are certainly not small."

There's an old saying that's quite suitable for dealing with these inexplicable places, people, and events.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Even if he really wants to celebrate the birthday of the Venerable Master Boshi, you still have to ruin it!

As for Chasing Stars, either someone can imitate her habits and has the technical skills to break through the information security of the screws.

Or...from the future!

Lin Yi prefers the second option.

Because even Lin Yi himself couldn't do the first possibility.

Lin Yi could break through the barriers that weren't personally protected by Screw Gumu, but how could he break through Screw Gumu's information protection by imitating others' habits without revealing any flaws?

Even Lin Yi wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Since he was already leaning towards the second possibility, Lin Yi believed that Zhu Xing wouldn't harm him.

Lin Yi witnessed the means of interfering with time once through Elio during the "Caspellinga".

According to the "Banquet Dimension," #56 Liasalas has gone on a time-travel journey—either to the past or the future.

Moreover, Elijah Salas's time-space technology was copied by those who participated in the banquet, and each of them received a copy.

Lin Yi also has a copy—he just hasn't studied it properly.

Lin Yi doesn't know how Zhu Xing interfered; he just needs to know that Zhu Xing won't harm him.

Lin Yi: "The Eternal Land of Onpharos? Heh~ I'm getting more and more interested in you~ I hope you won't disappoint me~"

Zhu Xing: "Teacher, it's all done!"

Lin Yi: "Let me see... Wow, that's good! I'll try to activate it."

The private conversation with the screw ended between the two of them and was not leaked to outsiders.

Lin Yi shook his head at the Taotie, which was several sizes smaller, crooked, and ugly beyond belief: "It's not good enough. It's cut too into tiny pieces. Even if it's revived, it won't be the same Taotie as before, so it's pointless. It's almost like a clone."

Zhu Xing's rant: "No, I should say it would be better to use it to breed clones~"

Lin Yi nodded: "That makes sense~ I'll leave the cultivation task to you~ The raw materials are this flesh and blood~"

Zhu Xing was dumbfounded: "Ahhhhhh!"

Lin Yi: "Don't say 'ah~', I'll get you some of Ruan Mei's childhood experimental records for your reference. The mission period is from now until I return from Yi Ting~"

Zhu Xing remained silent: "..."

Zhu Xing revealed the truth: "Teacher, have you been in a bad mood lately?"

Lin Yi: "What are you talking about? It's just that Lan stole my kills twice and I couldn't blow something up no matter what I tried. It's not a big deal, why would I be in a bad mood?"

Zhu Xing walked away angrily, and Lin Yi felt relieved.

Then Zhu Xing ran to find Gaia, who was wandering around and looked like Lin Yi, and gave him a good rub.

Gaia: "Star Chaser... Sister, are you in a bad mood?"

Zhu Xing: "What are you talking about? I've just been given one difficult task after another and haven't had time to play games or read comics. It's not a big deal, why would I be in a bad mood?"

That's why they say they raised him from scratch!

A few days of leisure passed in the blink of an eye. Ruan Mei came out of the laboratory, and Luo Sigu also stopped exploring the new equation.

Heita, Yu Qingtu, and Stephen arrived at "Shenxiao Space City" one after another.

The group met once again at Lin Yi's residence.

This time, the "tour group" to Yiting had an extra member, Yu Qingtu. It was only because Abyss couldn't get away that he would have come to join in the fun.

The gathering of these geniuses also attracted the attention of many reporters and paparazzi who wanted to make a big news story.

The outside world is speculating about what extraordinary research the group is conducting.

In reality—

Since we've finally gotten together, of course we should start with a drink and chat!

A genius's time is both very precious and not so precious.

In Lin Yi's words, it's about researching when you can't research.

When having a large gathering, the priority should be to eat and drink well first, and then have fun last.

Important matters are discussed in smaller meetings, while things that require further discussion are handled privately with designated individuals.

Yu Qingtu: "The gatherings have been getting more and more frequent in recent years—something I never would have dared to imagine before. Elijah Salas would jump for joy if he knew!"

Lin Yi: "Hey~ This time the wine is just regular wine~"

Yu Qingtu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi: "Then next time I'll give you an abnormal one?"

Lin Yi quickly shook his head: "Then let's not!"

The crowd erupted in laughter and chatter, and even Stephen, whose true form was hidden beneath his burly exterior, unconsciously smiled and chuckled.

This socially awkward boy has become somewhat desensitized from being invited to so many gatherings by Lin Yi—at least he's somewhat desensitized in front of a group of familiar faces.

Hei Ta elegantly picked up the last pastry baked by Ruan Mei, only to have Lin Yi flick it away with his chopsticks.

Lin Yi's eyes were full of provocation: "Sorry~ This one is mine!"

Black Tower chuckled: "Heh~ Then come and try!"

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in their eyes, and they fought back and forth, using all their skills to the fullest, until neither could gain the upper hand.

Chapter 258 The Fourth Sweets War! A Shocking Arrival

In the final round of combat, Lin Yi and Black Tower's chopsticks broke together.

Black Tower put down her chopsticks and took out her staff: "Very well~ then I'll use magic to win the dessert war for me! The great Lady Black Tower has never lost."

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Ms. Black Tower is unparalleled!"

"Ms. Black Tower is incredibly clever!"

"Ms. Black Tower is so stunning that it can captivate all creatures!"

Four mirrors appeared behind the Black Tower, acting as cheerleaders.

Lin Yi also put down his chopsticks, holding the "Phase Walker" in his hand. The crown of thorns on his head reappeared, and he made a domineering declaration: "Heh~ My 'magic' is no less than anyone else's. The winner of the dessert war can only be me~ And the owner of this pastry is destined to be me!"

Yu Qingtu fanned the flames from the sidelines: "Let's fight! Let's fight!"

The Fourth Sweets War is about to begin!

Lin Yi and Black Tower currently have a record of one win, one loss, and one draw. Will this match truly determine the winner?

The answer—cannot be revealed.

Seeing that the 'battle' was escalating, Ruan Mei reached out and caught the pastry that was bouncing around in mid-air.

Then, just as fair, it was divided in two, and under the expectant gazes of Lin Yi and Black Tower... they swallowed the two pieces of pastry together.

"No, Ruan Mei, you!"

Ruan Mei, who had been being mischievous, was very happy.

Black Tower and Lin Yi sighed dejectedly, then exchanged a glance and put away their weapons: "Tch~ Childish" x2

Yu Qingtu pressed the shutter button. At a gathering where no one else is taking pictures, someone automatically becomes the photographer: "Awesome~"

Lin Yi and Hei Ta exchanged another glance, reaching a silent understanding. They both walked towards the plate in front of Yu Qingtu.

Each person shared the snacks that Yu Qingtu had specially reserved.

Yu Qingtu: "No! That's mine!!! That's too much!"

The joyful atmosphere was fleeting.

Hei Ta clapped his hands, signaling everyone to pay attention: "Alright, we've finished eating and drinking, now it's time to get down to business. We need to come up with a plan for this trip to Yi Ting."

Lin Yi: "That's right, we need to come up with a set of rules. Let's start by discussing everyone's individual objectives."

"The last trip to 'The Garden of Flowing Light' was my suggestion; everyone's main goal was to obtain enough information to simulate the startup of the universe."

"They each gained something after the split-up. Otherwise, they wouldn't have consulted with me one by one to discuss another trip to Yiting."

"So it is very important for everyone to share information and inform each other of the basic purpose. This can effectively avoid decision-making errors and ensure that everyone gets what they want as much as possible."

Lin Yi: "We're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for much talk. Let me start by throwing out an idea—"

"My goal is very simple. First, it's still revenge, as always."

"Secondly: I have some clues about the accidental theft of my memories. Either I don't make a fuss, or once I do... This time, I'm confident that I'm ready, and this won't be a small-scale incident. I'm determined to get to the bottom of it."

Lin Yi's tone was firm, and the crown of thorns on his head shone brightly. That part, divided by abundance, was a gift to his destiny, responding to Lin Yi's will.

It stirs up waves of imaginary numbers.

Black Tower: "I'll go next~ The parameter information of the entire universe stored in the Flowing Light Memory Court is an endless treasure. Last time, I didn't go all out because I was worried about future interactions, so I didn't take much."

"Even so, it has greatly advanced the process of simulating the universe."

"And this time... I want to replicate the entire simulated universe! If the simulated universe can't hold it all, then we'll upgrade it slowly, fill it up gradually, and there will be a day when it's all filled~"

Lin Yi frowned: "It's not that simple. This is a huge amount of data."

After a quick calculation, ScrewGumm immediately rejected the idea: "No, this goal is impossible to achieve."

"Logically, if all the information stored in the 'Flowing Light Memory Garden' were transcribed into the solid entity with the highest information content, the volume occupied would be at least enough to fill the great void of 'New Eden.'"

"Question: Ms. Black Tower, what plan will you adopt to achieve your goal?"

Black Tower: "It's very simple. Just like Stephen did, you can unfold a single atom into two dimensions and record a vast amount of information."

Of course, even this is far from enough; the sheer size of the heap is still staggering, and information conversion remains a significant challenge.

"But what if this unfolding 'atom' is a memory deity?"

Lin Yi: "You want to store the information in my 'Phase Walker'?"

Black Tower looked at Lin Yi: "Is there a problem?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. You're all welcome."
