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

"You mean Lancelot? That guy who foolishly hijacked the Rainbow Ship and ended up getting half-dead by the autonomous defense weapon."

"I remember thinking it was interesting, so I brought him to the space city. How is he doing now?"

"He's now the captain of the third guard team in the Space City's security department. Uncle Igor thought he was quite talented, so he put him in charge of training with the guard team."

"He trained quite hard and didn't waste his talent. I read the analysis of him in the relevant reports from the logistics department. He has a strong obsession. Teacher, none of the people you brought back are normal."

"You have the nerve to criticize others? Are you and Luanpo normal?"

"Wait! Do that expression again!! Are your feelings and emotions back to normal?"

"Hehe~ Yes, teacher. I've been back to normal since I became the Pleasure Envoy, but my excessive emotions are actually hindering my research."

"It took so many years to get better, and it wasn't even fully cured..."

"Oh dear, teacher, you can't say that. If it weren't for your and Sister Ruanmei's treatment and repair, even if it had been cured, it would have reverted to its previous state due to congenital genetic defects. Then it would have gained emotions again due to the power of pleasure, which would have been very torturous."

"That's good. Ah, you finally did something decent. Now you're starting to look like someone your age should be."

"Come to think of it, Igor hasn't been back to Belleburg since he was born."

"Yes, Uncle Igor said he wasn't himself, not the real Igor, and shouldn't have 'impersonated' him, so he's never been to Belloberg."

"That's just nitpicking. With complete memories, consistent thoughts, and the same genes, who would dare assume they're not the same person? Although Screw can't compare to Bo Shizun, Ruan Mei can't compare to Yaoshi, and the memories I stole from Yiting... are not as good as those Fuli personally gave to Aha, but for these easy tests, everyone gets 100 points, so there's no difference."

'Except for the soul'

Although he said that, Lin Yi knew in his heart that the most important thing was still missing: the fallen soul. He said those words only to convey and enlighten Igor through the words of Zhuxing. The more certain he was, the better.

This Igor is actually similar to a new individual born from a corpse, possessing a soul highly similar to or even indistinguishable from the original owner, but it is not the original one. These geniuses cannot steal the soul.

'Igor? I think I've seen that name in a miscellaneous book before. Is it just a coincidence?' Dongfang Qiqing listened and pondered.

Zhu Xing saw Dongfang Qiqing's awkwardness at not being able to get a word in edgewise.

I explained a couple of words to him.

“Igor was a man of Yalilo VI seven hundred years ago, and died during the legionary invasion.”

"Resurrected a year ago by a group of geniuses, using methods similar to Aha's."

'It can't compare to Aha, it has the form but not the spirit.'

Lin Yi also added in his mind a sentence

“We tried to experiment with Aha’s methods, which we learned from him. Choosing him was just a coincidence.”

After a brief chat, Zhuxing spotted a passing merchant ship.

"Teacher, a merchant ship is passing by. Is it also blending into the crowd this time?"

"Yes, conceal the Rainbow Light Ship in its phase, disguise it as a shipwrecked crew member, and infiltrate it."

"Oh right, I almost forgot about you. Here, this is for you."

Lin Yi handed a small, antique-style women's ring to Dongfang Qiqing.

Chapter 24 Who leaked Oswaldo's whereabouts? It's so hard to guess!

"What are you standing there for? Do you want me to put it on for you myself?"

Seeing that Dongfang Qiqing was still a little bewildered and hadn't reacted yet, Lin Yi took one of Dongfang Qiqing's hands and put the ring on her finger.

"Zhu Xing, explain to her how to use this thing."

"Oh, Dongfang... um~ I'll still call you Sister Qiqing. Sister Qiqing, this ring is called the 'Nightmare Ring'."

It is made by imitating the method of the Cloud Chant and Mirage, and some real insect wing powder is added during the manufacturing process. The entire process is wrapped in high-density memory material, which continuously permeates during the manufacturing process.

"Of course, there's also a little bit of ingenious technology, and its function is very simple: to conceal one's form and change one's appearance. Currently, only those who can harmonize with the rhythm and those who can spy on memories can detect that something is wrong. Hmm, although the mysterious and intelligent walkers haven't discovered any cases yet, we can't guarantee that we can definitely hide it."

"Thinking about it this way, this thing doesn't seem so great after all. It needs improvement, teacher. In your words, it's called 'fear of insufficient firepower'."

"This has nothing to do with a fear of insufficient firepower, right?" Lin Yi retorted.

"The method is very simple. Repeat after me: 'May all my wishes come true, please grant my wish quickly!'"

"Duang"

Another flick on the head

"Ouch~ I'll get knocked silly!"

"Stop pretending. With your physical strength, you couldn't even leave a mark with the Neutron Star Sword. Just be a commentator, don't be silly. Who taught you these lines?"

Zhu Xing took out his phone and played a recording: "Come on, Zhu Xing, repeat after me, 'May all my wishes come true, grant my desires, quickly show your power'..."

'Wow, why did they even leave behind evidence?'

"Okay, let's stop fooling around. Teach it properly. That merchant ship is almost in line of sight. I'll get you the computer you wanted later."

"No taking it back!"

"I do have a fear of insufficient firepower. After returning to the space city, I will prepare for the large-scale deployment of astrocomputers and interstellar weapons. We don't need your one."

"It's good to ban it!"

"No! No! Good!"

Watching the two, like nesting dolls, bickering, Dongfang Qiqing smiled knowingly. Genius was too far removed from her, as if they were from two different worlds.

Now that she's in close proximity to a genius, she feels a sense of distance and unease. In addition, there are rumors that geniuses are aloof, arrogant, and difficult to get along with, so she has been very anxious lately.

Seeing this heartwarming scene of ordinary people getting along has dispelled all my unease. It turns out that a 'genius' can also be an 'ordinary person'.

From where she couldn't see, Zhu Xing smacked her eyes twice at Lin Yi, as if asking, 'How did I do?'

Lin Yi returned the look with approval.

Lin Yi and Zhu Xing had already reached a silent consensus: they had finally found someone to do the work, so they absolutely couldn't let him get away.

But jokes and playful banter aside, what needs to be taught still needs to be taught; this thing is really not complicated.

Using the "Nightmare Ring" to conceal and transform one's form is as simple as thinking about it; the form moves with the mind and is ever-changing.

It sounds impressive, but it's actually just a small toy. Its biggest advantage is its small size, making it easy to carry and use. The correct way to use it is to combine it with other items.

The human brain cannot be rational at all times, nor can it be infallible. Appropriate combinations can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Just like when Zhu Xing wore this ring on his middle finger, two thin chains with a silvery metallic luster connected from the back of his hand to the wrist bracelet, this was a matching weapon.

Lin Yi wore it on his thumb, shaped like a thumb ring, which was a comprehensive computing auxiliary unit.

Watching Dongfang Qiqing transform into Wuwu Bo, Di Ting, and then into bizarre shapes was quite unpleasant. Just as he was about to activate the Omniscient Lens to connect with "Laplace's Demon" and gain a God's-eye view to achieve the goal of dispelling illusions, he remembered that Laplace's Demon had already been killed by him, no, by Ahahoho.

"Alright, stop playing around. You'll have plenty of time to play later. For now, become a survivor of a space pirate raid. Here, take this bracelet; it's an auxiliary unit and life support device."

"What do those 'survivors who survived being abducted by space pirates' look like?" ⊙﹏⊙

Dongfang Qiqing revealed a clear look in her eyes; she truly had never seen anything like it before.

"That's why we've given you an auxiliary unit. It will fine-tune itself, and you just need to think. This 'thinking' can be a concrete image or a thought. The auxiliary unit will do the main work."

The auxiliary unit given to Dongfang Qiqing is bracelet-shaped. Because it also provides some protection, it is relatively large, and the size of a bracelet is just right.

The Rainbowlight was concealed in the Phase rift by the Phase Walkers, and replaced by a battle-damaged version of the ship that looked like it had been through many battles.

There were still quite a few fresh corpses on top, but they weren't killed on the spot. These were cloned and cultivated unconscious bodies. They were created in this half-crippled state, and some special technology allowed them to remain in this state forever, incorruptible and immortal.

That merchant ship that was almost there

"Captain, we've received a distress signal. They've been attacked by space pirates, and they're right in front of us. Should we avoid them?"

"Avoid it? No, he carefully steered the boat alongside."

That's right, the newcomer was none other than his beloved Potio, who had met Lin Yi several times before. Now, in addition to being a sea patrol ranger, he was also a member of the interstellar squadron.

Lin Yi had previously given him a bullet pendant with the same function as the Nightmare Ring, and now he had disguised himself as the captain to sneak in, because this merchant ship was carrying building materials.

It was the verbal tic caused by this specially modified synesthetic beacon that made it impossible for him to hide for long.

Meanwhile, Potio received information from a kind person that Oswald's adorable little thing would be meeting with Vantarakien soon, and that he might be able to meet that bastard by infiltrating the building materials logistics department.

Who is this kind person? It's so hard to guess! (?????)

Portio didn't rely on the shipping magnate; he simply recognized the battle-damaged ship.

"His precious props? This genius can't even bear to change them? They're exactly the same as last time. But what a coincidence, let's go over and have a drink together."

"This...it's completely destroyed. It looks like there's no one alive left. Captain, why don't we stop wasting time and head out?"

"What are you worried about? You all wait on the ship. I'll go check it out on the other side myself. There's no need for you to take any risks."

Potio noticed the man's fear and, not wanting anyone to follow him, left the damaged ship alone and entered the wrecked vessel.

"Damn it, I knew you were alright. A genius like you couldn't have an accident so easily, let alone die so casually."

"It's fate that we've met again. Shall we have a drink together?" Potio invited Lin Yi to have a drink.

"Pottior? It's you?"

"Potti? No, I'm Patti, the transport team leader in the building materials logistics department now."

Chapter 25 Light Cone & Boundary Demarcation with Starship Corps

"As you can see, I'm infiltrating the building materials logistics department looking for an opportunity to rob him."

Potio said another sentence

Lin Yi took out his phone and tagged Yu Qingtu, asking her to quickly prepare four drinks.

"Alright, sit down and let's talk slowly. Um, I don't think I can sit down." After saying that, Lin Yi looked around awkwardly.

Zhu Xing looked up, stepped forward, and used his bare hands to dismantle the door and break it into the shape of a table. He then dismantled the wall and shaped four chairs by hand.

“It’s unnecessary, I can teleport,” Lin Yi said to Zhu Xing, looking at the slightly horrifying scene.

"That's just right, those chaotic and powerful physical attributes are just as I imagined. No wonder they're sisters," Potio said, giving a thumbs up as she watched.

"Actually, my physical strength is only a fraction of my sister's."

Only Dongfang Qiqing swallowed hard, she never expected that this seemingly gentle, delicate and understanding girl would have such superhuman strength.

"Why did you bring the main body here?" Lin Yi looked at Zhu Xing with some curiosity, waiting for her explanation. He believed that Zhu Xing had her own reasons.

When Lin Yi travels, Zhu Xing accompanies him, but those who act in the outside world are cultivated clones that rely on his consciousness. These clones are merely in form and cannot be imbued with the life energy of the original body. Their strength is very weak, almost at the level of an ordinary person.

Even though the Star Chaser gene is special, the cloned copies are still just like ordinary people. This question puzzles Lin Yi, but he has not yet found an answer.

Lin Yi's true form has been lying in the space city, conducting the "Godhood Experiment" of stealing authority and falsely ascending to godhood.

Although the chances of success are slim, we must not be easily discouraged.

As a genius, how could he not pull off something big? The "Ascension Experiment" was Lin Yi's doing, and as far as he knew, the others were also secretly pulling off some big things.

That's why the Genius Club is essentially a list of highly dangerous individuals in the universe, issued by the erudite sage.

Meanwhile, the Star Chaser remained by his side, serving as the last line of defense. If the space city's defenses were breached, she would rely on her own strength and the final arrangements at the core of the space city to temporarily protect Lin Yi's safety.

"This isn't my true form. My true form is still where it belongs. The power of pleasure seems to have projected some of my physical attributes onto it. How amazing! I really want to experiment on myself right now."

"Be good~ stay away from Ruan Mei, don't let her lead you astray. We won't do anything that involves using ourselves as experiments."

"But teacher, aren't you also using yourself as an experiment?" (°3°?)

Oh no, I'm the one who corrupted Star Chaser! ⊙﹏⊙

The phone vibrated.

"Ahem, let's change the subject," Lin Yi glanced at his phone, "just in time. Here, this is Yu Qingtu's custom-made special drink. It's not just delicious; not everyone has the privilege to drink it. It's only because today is special that you can't get any."

Four small spatial doors unfolded on the 'tabletop' and then slid backward, revealing four different drinks on the 'tabletop'.

A cup with a wild appearance, still burning with flames.

A glass of blue-black liquor resembles a starry sky, dotted with countless stars.

A glass of shimmering gold, with specks of light moving rapidly within, like shooting stars.

A cup of crimson liquid covered with snow-capped peaks, and by sheer coincidence, just as it was being delivered, bubbles burst forth from the snow-capped peaks like a suppressed volcanic eruption.

"Choose for yourselves. I've given Yu Qingtu a brief overview of your information. Let's see if your choices align with the genius's vision. Zhu Xing, wait a bit and don't eliminate options for them."

"Huo, I originally just wanted to get some of your treasured wine, but I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."
