"Unfortunately, it's useless. Sea creatures have an extremely strong passive evolutionary ability. They can quickly adapt to toxins, and can even evolve in reverse to produce even more deadly toxins, a highly corrosive neurotoxin."

"..." Blue Poison was speechless.

In that sense, her ancestors were quite wronged, suffering so much for nothing. But could the Agorians have brought this upon themselves?

Chapter 117 The Situation is Set

(Many of the authors of Hedgehog Cat have gone to Qidian.com. If I read another one, I'll have to try it out too.)

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye's answer left Lan Du speechless, both amused and exasperated.

That's quite an impressive answer.

Bai Ye put away the terminal and then offered words of comfort:

"You don't need to worry about anything. Just live peacefully on Rhodes Island. We'll find a way to solve the Haisi problem. It's not just the Agors fighting those monsters... Hmm, actually, I think the Haisi are probably just asking for trouble."

Based on the vast amount of information available to the masses, Bai Ye has never discovered any evidence that Hai Si has proactively attacked the cities of Agor. This is unless those cities have entered Hai Si's territory. Of course, this excludes the possibility of a disaster caused by the Deep Sea Church.

That would be considered man-made.

After a pause, Bai Ye added:

"At least now, no one will kidnap you from the Rhodes Island main ship to study poisons."

"Uh... I've never thought of that before." Blue Poison scratched his head, amused by White Night's words.

Bai Ye smiled, then said seriously:

"Our battle with the Sea Siege has never ended. The judges of the Iberian Tribunal have been hunting down cultists of the Deep Sea Church and monsters that have set foot on land."

"Rhodes Island may organize a task force to Iberia in a while. You can sign up if you are interested."

Well, actually, Bai Ye was just joking.

Who would be so foolish as to go to that place?

However, Blue Poison nodded thoughtfully, as if she was indeed quite interested in this.

This surprised Bai Ye. If Lan Du were a native, no, a sea-born Agorian, she might have been fooled by the deep-sea hunters' recruitment advertisement.

Bai Ye had heard Gretia mention the recruitment slogans posted throughout the city of Agor, but she only remembered a few fragments, such as "Such scenes are unfolding in various parts of the deep sea right now," "Prove to everyone that you have the power and courage to pursue freedom," "Join the ranks of the deep-sea hunters!" "Encounter strange life forms," ​​and so on.

Of course, Bai Ye believed that neither Skadi, Laurentina, nor Gretia would join the Deepsea Hunters based on such nonsensical promotional language. It's just that these promotional phrases sounded rather unreliable.

Bai Ye went to pay the bill, while Lan Du remained seated at the table. Clearly, Bai Ye's answer had taken a significant toll on her, and she probably needed some time to process it.

-------------------------------------

After finishing his casual chat with Blue Poison, White Night's holiday was almost over.

In the afternoon, Bai Ye went to the desert outside Londinium and joined the daily training of the deep-sea hunters. In the end, the four of them went from a free-for-all to a 1v3 brawl for Bai Ye. Well, this time it was a proper battle and it was fun, since Bai Ye had no interest in open field battles.

So far, with the use of "Calcification" and "Nitrogen Armor", Bai Ye is already able to fight three Deep Sea Hunters head-on, bare-handed.

Bai Ye's rapid increase in strength shocked even Goredia. Skadi, who had known Bai Ye the longest, was no longer surprised. After all, she had initially been afraid to even fight Bai Ye, fearing she might accidentally shatter his body in a moment of distraction. However, after some time, the two were now evenly matched…

Of course, this exhilarating battle did not end immediately. After training in the wilderness, the fighting continued in the dormitory.

This time, Goredia chose to go out, which avoided some awkward situations.

Bai Ye felt that such opportunities would be rare in the future, so he seized the chance to feed Skadi and Laurentina. Especially Laurentina, whose body still needed Bai Ye's injections to maintain its current state.

……

The following day, Bai Ye listened in on the first negotiation between Vina, the Grand Duke, and the Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Army. Although he remained silent and did not even sit at the table, he exerted immense pressure on everyone.

Many people were wary of him. Only after entering the real world of Londinium could one truly feel the power of White Night; the aftershocks of the battle almost encompassed the entire area, and the various traces spreading across the surface were chilling. Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble.

Surprisingly, the negotiations went very smoothly, especially with the Iron Duke Wellington, who seemed uninterested in the throne of Londinium, but instead proposed to restore the Kingdom of Tara to its original state.

Before the Terran Era, the Drak people split into two factions. They established the Kingdom of Tara and the Kingdom of Victoria respectively. Later, in order to resist the Nightmare of the Nightmare, the Kingdom of Tara and the Kingdom of Victoria peacefully merged, and King Victoria bestowed upon the King of Tara the title of "King Gael".

The Duke of Wellington was a Tara man, though people have almost forgotten that.

Now that the Tara have found their king, they also want to restore their former state and end their oppression by the Victorians. In fact, the Deeppool forces had previously used this to provoke the Tara's anger.

As for the other Grand Duke, the Duke of Castle, she was quite interested in the throne of Londinium, but without Wellington's support and with White Night sitting right next to her, she dared not speak.

During the meeting, the golden beast lord "accidentally" walked into the venue, which inevitably sparked much speculation. Afterwards, various rumors spread throughout Londinium, with differing opinions, but one voice was undeniable: King Victoria was about to return.

Everything was indeed moving towards peace, which relieved Bai Ye; at least the scene of lions and dragons ruling together would no longer occur. Separating Londinium from Tara and using Tara to satisfy the greedy dragon girl's appetite seemed like a good option.

……

After the meeting, White Night returned to the resting place of the kings with the steam knight Charles Lynch.

Under Charles Lynch's astonished gaze, Bai Ye once again used the key belonging to Talulah's biological father, Edward, to open the tomb. Clearly, he hadn't expected Bai Ye to possess this key.

Entering the tomb and passing the statues, Charles Lynch arrived at the place where the steam knights had perished. Under the gaze of the kings, the middle-aged man shed tears of blood and vowed to serve the king once more.

At this point, the matter of Lentinium is essentially over.

To the very end, Charles Lynch never inquired about the whereabouts of the "Breath of Kings".

Chapter 118 Acceleration

(Recently I’m playing Otome’s Novel Secret, which was published before it was translated into Chinese. This is for the purpose of drawing material for the new book)

-------------------------------------

Although Kal'tsit said that the "Cyclops" aircraft could not be directly driven into the deep sea, just in case, Bai Ye still entrusted Kroos and her engineering department to modify the aircraft.

The main modification involves altering the aircraft's base to enable it to take off and land on water. After all, Bai Yezhi had considered the hovering function in the past, but hadn't anticipated the need for takeoff and landing on the sea.

While it sounds far-fetched, Rhodes Island's engineering department, with its advanced technology and the byproduct of developing the White Night's powers—the casting unit—could still achieve this. However, the structure is still far too primitive. After all, before White Night's time travel, it could be accomplished directly through an anti-gravity device.

……

After dealing with the matters in Lentinium, Bai Ye set off for the core city of Chernobog.

Although the name remains the same, the current core city is no longer just a single plot of land, but rather a medium-sized mobile city. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough land to accommodate the increasing number of infected and players.

However, Talulah was comforted by the fact that not only the infected, but also many able-bodied ordinary people chose to settle here. This was clearly Talulah's original ideal when she was in the Icefield.

Bai Ye didn't pilot the aircraft; since he was alone, he simply flew there. After landing, Bai Ye first entered the secret space beneath the core city's command tower.

Currently, only Talulah and Alina in the core city know the secret of this place, and they never go near it.

To Earthlings like Bai Ye, Luna's identity is akin to that of a deity. And the place where Luna resides is naturally the realm of the gods. If things continue this way, perhaps an alternative faith will emerge under the influence of materialism.

Upon entering the hidden space this time, Bai Ye clearly sensed a change. Luna's form could now appear directly in the physical universe, that is, in the real world. In the past, she could only maintain a projection in the real world, or be confined to a narrow passage like the Earth's Well.

Now, Luna has completely taken over the core city's system, maintaining order in the shadows just as she did on Earth. Of course, this part only requires a small portion of the computing power; Luna spends most of her energy calculating the progress and method of merging the two worlds.

Upon seeing Bai Ye, a figure of Luna emerged from mid-air. Each of Luna's clones is her original self; she can appear simultaneously on Earth and Terra, or even in different locations at the same time, and the clones are interconnected.

Luna can receive and process massive amounts of information simultaneously, which is why she is regarded as a deity. In people's minds, a deity can listen to the prayers of all believers at the same time and respond justly to all people.

"Welcome home, White Night."

Luna landed on the ground, looking quite petite, like a little girl.

Bai Ye had once heard a rumor that Luna wasn't created out of thin air. Just like the previously mentioned "intelligent AI," Luna's prototype seemed to be a doctor's daughter. Like a classic science fiction story, the doctor, in order to save his terminally ill daughter, turned her into the first super artificial intelligence. However, an accident occurred during the process, and Luna became a unique and powerful being.

This is just a rumor, but whatever the truth, Luna is irreplaceable. However, her appearance is indeed fixed; she has always presented herself in this way.

Shaking his head, Bai Ye cleared his mind of all sorts of random thoughts, and then he said:

"I want to do a version update, and the progress needs to be accelerated."

Luna nodded; she never seemed to refuse Bai Ye's requests.

Bai Ye then told Luna about the deep sea. Because they couldn't completely leave the core city, Luna was unaware of these events happening outside the core city and had to rely on Bai Ye to relay them.

"According to the revised plan, the pace of global integration will accelerate again. In order to cope with the subsequent global integration, the plans on Earth will also need to be changed accordingly."

In fact, the Earth Federation government had been preparing for global integration for some time. Initially, Luna was secretly carrying it out, but later it was revealed to the government's higher-ups. This is why the online game "Arknights Online" was able to complete all the procedures so smoothly and quickly. The Earth Federation's push was also behind the absurd promotion of "a game for everyone."

"What is the progress of the migration of the Martian foundry world?"

If it were just Earth, it would be quite simple; we could just come over. The key issue is that human-developed areas also include the Moon and Mars. Mars is the primary colony, as well as a starport and outpost.

After deciding on the plan to merge the worlds, Luna gradually began the relocation of the colonies and spaceports on Mars.

"Currently, all personnel have been relocated, and only robots are maintaining the Martian colony. The spaceport has been completely dismantled and moved to Earth."

Bai Ye sighed:

“We’ve given up a lot, and there’s still a lot we need to explain to the public.”

"This was a necessary sacrifice. We only gave up Mars, but we gained the hope of the continuation of civilization, as well as more possibilities."

Luna then turned around and showed Bai Ye a series of projections:

"Traces of a previous civilization remain on this planet, and it is also enveloped by a special 'membrane.' The planet's satellites are also man-made. These are all invaluable treasures to us."

"There's also Originium, the Sea Legion, and even the 'Gates' that the natives talk about... We're not just taking refuge; we're exploring and discovering, creating possibilities we've never had before. This is a respectable civilization. Whatever happened to them in the end, they paved the way for us and showed us even more possibilities."

Bai Ye nodded.

The technology of pre-civilizations indeed surpassed our understanding and imagination. For example, this artificial satellite is a feat that humanity cannot currently achieve.

"Your strategy is correct: establish friendly relations with the local indigenous people, who have intricate connections with the previous civilization."

(This time Blizzard is really back, it's really explosive and snowy)

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye's persistence finally paid off.

Bai Ye's consistent advocacy for peaceful coexistence and adherence to the teachings he received when he was a candidate starship captain have indeed required him to put in a lot more effort and resolve more troubles, but now, he has indeed achieved results.

His previous choices have finally borne fruit and been affirmed. This shows that his efforts have indeed steered the future in a better direction.

That's all Bai Ye needs to be satisfied.

“Actually, you have quite a few friends.” Luna looked at her proudest “work” and her tone was unusually gentle.

Yes, Bai Ye was someone she had personally nurtured, and she had placed a great deal of attention on this young man. For a most impartial and selfless artificial intelligence, this was an act contrary to her own existence.

This is Luna's masterpiece.

"Actually, I hope you can have more possibilities, rather than following the path I have planned."

"Your efforts are never in vain. When you reach the end, you will find that you have so many friends around you, and people accompanying you. You are not alone. This is the meaning of the journey, rather than burning yourself out for something that has nothing to do with you, and ending up with nothing."

Bai Ye fell silent. In truth, he had never thought about these things; he had simply taken them all for granted as his responsibility. He just never imagined that Luna would consider so many things for him.

"That's really..." Bai Ye lowered his head shyly. He was touched by Luna's kindness, but he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Go do what you want to do. Don't be afraid. You are never alone. Behind you is an entire civilization."

Although Bai Ye always carries the future of the entire civilization on his shoulders, he also has an entire civilization supporting him. Everyone who leaves Earth is a child of Earth, and they will never easily abandon anyone.

"Then let's begin. You can venture deep into the ocean to investigate the origins of the sea creatures. As for the matters on land, leave them to the players according to your plan." Luna began preparing the game update plan as requested by Bai Ye.

Meanwhile, her clone on Earth also began preparations for the world merging ahead of time.

As Bai Ye was about to leave, Luna suddenly spoke again:

"Oh, right, I have some good news to tell you."

As she spoke, Luna waved her hand and turned on the terminal screen beside her.

Bai Ye turned his head and saw a laboratory of the Lungmen Lobotomy Institute displayed on the screen.

This is real-time monitoring. From the core city, Bai Ye can also check the situation in Lungmen. This isn't surprising, given that Lungmen and the core city are connected by a network. The two cities are linked together.

However, Luna clearly wanted to show more than that. After a slightly blinding flicker, Bai Ye saw another Luna on the screen. She was standing in the laboratory, waving at Bai Ye.

Then, both Lunas spoke at the same time:

"Thanks to the mobile base stations you built, the intercity network is now more stable, and I am able to appear in Lungmen."

Because one Luna was right beside him and the other was in Lungmen, the overlapping of their voices sounded somewhat magical, and Bai Ye was also shocked by this sudden news.

That's definitely good news.
