Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Many people looked surprised.

The middle-aged man countered, "I've roughly reviewed your human experiments in Star Memory City. Your first research project was on how to prevent the goods from satellite cities from becoming evolvers and players. Now that you've successfully researched this project, why do you still have this question?"

"You mean..."

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man gave a direct conclusion: "You have altered the mental frequency of these products! In the early stages of the Evolution Game, which covered a region, mental frequency was used as the criterion for selecting natural evolvers."

"Some people's mental frequency is close to, or even the same as, the vibrational frequency of certain concepts in the metaphysical realm... well, similar to superstring theory. These people will be directly given the identity of natural evolvers by the evolution game."

"Although not every evolved being can awaken the corresponding concept of psionic energy, it must be said that their probability of awakening psionic energy is far higher than that of others."

"We have been imitating the principles revealed by the Evolution Game. We have been standing on the shoulders of giants to conduct psionic development experiments. This giant... is the Evolution Game."

"Or rather, the 'god' behind the evolution game."

Next, the middle-aged man began to explain how to adjust the mental frequency of the experimental subjects.

This is a long-term process of adaptation, or rather, it can be seen as a kind of spiritual evolution.

Physical evolution means becoming stronger and more adaptable to various harsh environments.

And the evolution of the spirit is also about becoming stronger.

On a spiritual level, a powerful indicator is that a spirit capable of carrying a concept is far stronger than one that cannot.

The process of improving a player's talent level is essentially an evolutionary game that allows the player's mental frequency to gradually approach the concept represented by the talent.

Once the player and the concept are in sync, or nearly in sync, and the player can fully embrace the corresponding concept, the talent will further evolve into psionic energy.

This is also a slow process; each time a player levels up, they can only get one chance to upgrade their talent.

The reason for this design, besides considering the reward mechanism, is that spiritual evolution can only happen gradually.

Unlike the physical body, the human spirit is far too fragile; once fundamentally damaged, it has virtually no chance of recovery.

Changing the frequency can easily lead to psychological damage if not handled carefully.

The reason why the goods in the satellite city cannot become evolved beings is this—the modifications they underwent were too severe, their minds were already deformed, and they had long lost the possibility of evolution.

Therefore, it takes a period of time to adapt to each change in mental frequency.

This is why players need to come back again and again to improve their talents.

Of course, this doesn't mean that evolution games are incapable of helping players develop complete psionic abilities in one go.

The ability is there, but to do this, the computational resources required at the mental level are astronomical, in order to avoid even the slightest accident.

There are too many players; how can an evolution game possibly keep up?

Only those who can obtain an S-rank dungeon rating will be given special attention by the evolution game and directly granted a complete spiritual energy as a reward.

The cultivation experiment summarized by Pianyi involved slowly and over a long period of time changing a person's mental frequency through the influence of various medicines and mental attribute props, in a process that was as gentle as possible.

This is a hardware adaptation.

On the "software" side, the test subjects need to learn the corresponding type of knowledge every day, and cultivate the corresponding type of concepts, beliefs, thinking logic and frameworks, so that their overall thinking is biased towards the direction represented by the concept, and maximize the degree of fit, so that they are more likely to awaken their psychic abilities.

Yes—concepts themselves contain knowledge. Different concepts, when combined, represent the underlying information of this world, representing all knowledge.

It represents "omniscience".

Fan Xiao listened intently to the middle-aged man's words.

It must be said that One Wing has indeed done a very deep job in the study of psionic energy, and the knowledge it has acquired has touched upon the essence of how the evolution game works.

"Matter can be subdivided into particles, and the mind can also be subdivided into countless tiny units. Different vibrations determine different thought phenomena, similar to superstring theory... Therefore, a person's mind can vibrate at multiple frequencies simultaneously, like a chaotic array of thoughts. Is this why a person can master multiple psychic powers...?"

"Theoretically, when most of the mental strings that make up a person's mind can vibrate at different frequencies, that person has the potential to awaken nearly an infinite number of spiritual powers. However, this is only in theory. When most of the mental strings vibrate at the same frequency, there is only a certain chance of connecting to concepts that vibrate at similar or the same frequency. To separate the vibrations and awaken different spiritual powers... unless you are incredibly lucky, so lucky that your wishes come true and you can directly determine your own future."

"So the pillar concept represented by S-level psychic energy vibrates with a massive number of frequencies, making it impossible for artificial experiments to imitate or approximate. S-level psychic potential users are chosen ones determined by the pillar concept itself, already in a state of complete synchronization; their birth is a miracle in itself. What potential users lack to fully awaken their psychic energy is complete software compatibility... Software compatibility—knowledge, concepts, beliefs, logical framework of thought... Damn, is it that abstract?"

Fan Xiaoyu sighed inwardly.

Dr. Zhuang had told him that as long as he went to the initial zone, the one-wing could help him successfully awaken S-level psionic energy. At first, he was very skeptical that Dr. Zhuang was just showing off and fooling him, but now... he was starting to believe it.

"God" had also tempted him with high concentrations of fantasy substances and the rules of the "Mone Tower" instance, leading him to the initial zone and claiming that he could help him awaken S-level psionic power.

The one-winged creature is mimicking an evolution game.

The key behind the evolution game is "God".

The two echo each other.

Chapter 648 I, Reinhardt, will not tolerate any scoundrel speaking to me in a sarcastic or mocking manner.

After leaving the lecture hall, Fan Xiao went to take a look at the large laboratory for cultivation experiments.

He had figured out the theory and process of psionic cultivation. However, theory is ultimately just theory; he needed to personally investigate many of the details in practice.

After all, altering one's mental frequency is far more dangerous than physical genetic modification, so this is something that cannot be taken lightly.

Unfortunately, his goal failed.

Perhaps it's because Research Institute No. 44 is relatively new, but so far, there isn't a single high-quality experimental subject they've collected.

Yes, not a single one!

Xing Tong and Xiao Sheng only met the initial screening criteria; they were not already designated as experimental subjects.

The two will need to undergo further extensive examinations to thoroughly assess their mental potential.

Only by successfully passing all the inspection items can one be recognized as a high-quality experimental subject by this research institute, thus beginning targeted psionic cultivation.

At this stage, there are no test subjects available, so there's no way to observe the actual experimental process.

"Uh... this should be considered a good thing. There's only so much elemental fantasy material that One-Wing brought over. If we don't create any more, the total number of test subjects we can cultivate will be very small. If others absorb more elemental fantasy material, the Whale Fall members will be forced to absorb less... that's too much of a loss."

Fan Xiao comforted himself in his heart.

That's right, he subconsciously considered all the attribute-related fantasy substances in the research institute as his own.

Currently, the members of Whale Fall and the experimental subjects collected by One-Wing are in a purely competitive relationship.

Resources are limited.

The fact that no experimental subjects have yet appeared is a good thing for whale falls.

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao turned his gaze away from the "Type A Mental Force Field Generator" in the laboratory.

The force field generator consists of large experimental chambers with transparent glass panels, the inside of which is covered with a semi-transparent, pulsating blue halo.

The halo was radiating a dense, almost oppressive, spiritual energy; unsurprisingly, this was the so-called binding force field.

Inside the experimental chamber, there were floating silver-gray specks of light, and the screen outside the chamber door displayed the identifier—Type A2 Fantasy Matter.

According to the researcher's previous account, Type A2 is a fantastical substance containing the concept of spacetime, which can help experimental subjects who absorb the substance to awaken psionic energy with the spacetime attribute... well, there is a chance of awakening it.

“Unlike the experimental subjects cultivated by the one-winged creatures in the past, the members of Whale Fall will not have a lot of time to adjust their mental frequency. Once the battle begins, the time left for the members of Whale Fall to awaken their psionic energy will probably only be a short while.”

"Therefore... we must administer all the experimental drugs in the shortest possible time, adjust our mental frequency to be similar to or the same as the corresponding Type A force field generator, and then enter the experimental chamber to absorb all the attribute fantasy substances stored in the wing in one go, in order to awaken our psionic energy in the shortest possible time."

Fan Xiao silently formulated a rather rudimentary plan in his mind.

The main difficulties of this plan are twofold: first, administering all the experimental drugs at once could easily lead to the person's immediate death; second, even if the person achieves resonance and absorbs the attribute fantasy substance under normal circumstances, there is only a very high chance of awakening psionic energy, not a 100% guarantee of obtaining the desired result, let alone using such an aggressive approach as administering the drugs all at once.

This is almost an impossible task.

Hmm... almost.

As long as it's not absolute, as long as there's a possibility of it happening, he can create miracles through luck.

With this in mind, Fan Xiao began to communicate with the incomplete version of the "Quantum Immortality" psionic power to determine the amount of luck required for all members of Whale Fall to awaken A-level psionic power through this opportunity... The result was that it was temporarily impossible to estimate.

Okay, he started to lower his requirements—excluding Yu Xuezhao, Youbai, and the Saintess, who already possessed psychic abilities but weren't very willing to participate, and only allowing the remaining members to awaken their psychic abilities or complete their talents, with the awakened psychic abilities tentatively set at B-level or above... The results came out quickly, requiring a month and a half of luck.

"There aren't many unexpected ones."

Fan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If the requirements are lowered further, and restrictions are placed on the number of participants and psionic levels... then this operation will lose its significance.

"It requires less luck than I expected... It's probably because the attribute fantasy substances, mental adjustment potions, and items that One Wing brought this time are quite abundant and complete. With the basic conditions met, I only need to lock in one probability."

After all, it's not like awakening psionic energy out of thin air, and it's not as abnormal as it was in the "Mone Tower" dungeon last time. This kind of operation is still within the realm of common sense.

Last time... it was limited to the B-level realm, and the ability to awaken any spiritual power one wanted on the spot was a bit too outrageous!

It must be the "god" behind the evolution game causing trouble through the dungeon rules.

Normal S-rank psionic energy shouldn't be that outrageous.

"The investigation here is almost over, only the copy of Samael remains... It's time to head out."

After finalizing his plan, Fan Xiao suppressed the urge to seize the equipment and the imaginary substance and left the laboratory area.

It is not yet known whether there are any special environmental requirements for using these things in the laboratory.

If we were to attempt a radical overhaul now, and things went wrong, potentially damaging the equipment... it would be a losing proposition.

To be on the safe side, it would be better if people came here to participate in the psionic experiments.

Fan Xiao composed himself and began to retrace his steps.

suddenly!

A faint sense of crisis rose in my heart—the sixth sense that I had activated by luck was acting up.

Fan Xiao immediately entered a state of preparation.

About three seconds later, a voice sounded behind him: "Since you're here, you might as well stay."

"..."

*Thud*—The skin on the back of Fan Xiao's head split open, and one eye opened, looking behind him.

Two figures had appeared there without anyone noticing. One was a charming woman, and the other was a middle-aged man with a friendly and approachable demeanor.

Both of them stared at him with smiles on their faces, as if they were appraising a rare prey, their eyes both implying that they wanted to play with him.

At the same time, ahead, a young man with a noble air, handsome face, and cold expression emerged from the wall on the right side of the corridor as if he had no physical form, blocking Fan Xiao's way.

The three were none other than Duran, Shengzi, and Jingshan, three A-level players in this research base.

……

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

Sheng Zi, who was sitting in the research institute and using her senses to probe in all directions, suddenly noticed something unusual—the number of spiritual entities inside the base had become abnormal.

The spiritual body has three more forms.

As the leader of Team 3, who was entrusted with the important task of searching for Dr. Zhuang's traces, she possesses a very special detection ability. Not only can she sense the information of spiritual entities over a very wide range, but she can also remember the spiritual aura of everyone she has met and will never forget them. No matter what form the other person takes, as long as they are in the same zone as her, she can vaguely sense their location.

Furthermore, with the added boost from two A-grade items, the effect of her detection ability was stacked to an exaggerated degree.

Unless it's a Class A psionic power specifically designed for concealment, no hidden anomaly can escape her senses.

She couldn't possibly make a mistake.

There were indeed three more spiritual entities within the base.

At first she didn't realize it, but now... she carefully checks the total number and aura of the spiritual entities in the base at this time every day.

If anything seems amiss, it can't be hidden from her.

Because the base is strictly managed, the number of people staying inside is fixed, and for every additional person added, the reporting information will be sent to her.

Only two newcomers registered today – two eligible individuals awaiting further potential assessment.

However, there were three more spiritual entities...

Sheng Zi's lips curled up slightly, as if she had found something amusing: "Unfamiliar spiritual aura... a rat actually managed to sneak in, huh... to be able to evade so many layers of protection, quite capable."

Immediately, while secretly sensing and keeping an eye on the rat, she found Duran, the team leader, and reported the message to him.

Duran was somewhat surprised and took it seriously immediately, so he temporarily brought Jing Shan over and organized a capture operation.

Upon hearing Sheng Zi's description, Yan's expression turned slightly serious upon arriving at Jingshan.

Without any hint of disdain, he lowered his voice and asked Sheng Zi, "The person is still at the station, right?"

"He was lingering near the lecture hall just now, and now he's heading towards the lab. Judging from his mental state... he's male. His mental aura is quite restrained, so his concealment skills are probably quite advanced. He might be using an A-grade item," Sheng Zi quickly replied.

"A-grade item... does that mean an A-grade player infiltrated?"
