Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Judging from his eyes, he doesn't look like an academic at all!

Even worse, the fact that he could sense this key made Latio finally realize that he had probably obtained a "good score" of 58 or 59 points in the "Genius Club New Member Selection" exam, an exam whose scores were never announced.

If the runner-up is the biggest loser in a competitive match, then at this moment Latio felt as if a clown-shaped Talent Club Selection runner-up trophy had hit him on the head without any explanation, successfully making him wear a mask of pain firmly.

After a long while, Latio finally calmed down thanks to the psychological strength cultivated through long-term experiments by scientific researchers. At least on the surface, he responded to Estelle's greeting as if nothing had happened.

"You're welcome, Miss Ester. As a practitioner of the Way of Knowledge, who could refuse such an invitation?"

After saying that, he turned to Jiang Yan and asked Estelle:

"I wonder who this is?"

In response to Latio's question, Estelle introduced it like a treasure:

"Professor Latio, this is one of the protagonists of this press conference, and one of the main developers of the Key of Inspiration and the Key of Enlightenment, Mr. Jiang Yan."

After that, he introduced to Jiang Yan:

"This is Mr. Latio, the academic representative of the Interstellar Peace Company and the Institute of Knowledge."

If Jiang Yan had not read Sha Jin's information in advance, he would have found it hard to believe that this guy in front of him, with a strong build, sharp eyes, and arms that could run horses, was actually a top scholar in the entire universe.

After reviewing the other party's impressive resume, which boasted of "a lifetime of missing a key," Jiang Yan certainly didn't dislike this potential client. Instead, he enthusiastically approached him and extended his right hand.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Latio. I've long heard of you."

Although Latio has a straightforward personality, his edges are not so sharp that he cannot tolerate normal communication.

But this time, facing Jiang Yan's politeness, he found that his patience was exhausted countless times faster than usual. After just a few breaths, he declared his adjustment failed. He could not tolerate such hypocritical words at all. So Latio hurried over and shook Jiang Yan's hand with his cold fingers. At the same time, he frowned, shook his head and said:

"As a mediocre person, I don't want to be told that by a genius."

Jiang Yan was quite surprised by the other party's implied meaning.

Oh? I can clearly sense the Key of Knowledge without exerting a lot of power? Sure!

Ever since receiving a glance from Master Boshizun, Jiang Yan has been hanging the Key of Knowledge on his waist. However, up to now, no staff member in the entire space station has been able to sense the existence of this key. Professor Latio is the first one.

You have to understand, the other party didn't have a ready-made invitation to refer to; they relied entirely on the power of their intellectual destiny to perceive it. To be able to advance their intellectual destiny to this point without the help of a Star God, this kind of willpower and talent is truly amazing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's polite words became more sincere:

"No, although I have obtained the Key of Knowledge, I have not yet been fortunate enough to be invited to the Hall of Truth, nor can I consider myself a member of the Genius Club. Perhaps this is a test from the Lord of Knowledge."

Jiang Yan's words instantly shattered Latio's momentum to challenge the genius.

What the hell? The Genius Club has a probation period? Are they still shortlisted?

I've looked through all the information and notes on geniuses collected by the Interstellar Peace Company and the Polymath Society, but I've never heard of such a thing.

Latio originally wanted to refute Jiang Yan's nonsense from a professional perspective, but after taking another look at Jiang Yan's waist, he thought, okay, you have evidence and everything you said is right. Not wanting to humiliate himself, he had no choice but to give up.

However, the scholar's curiosity and his unquenchable obsession made it impossible for him to miss the opportunity to learn about the selection rules of the Genius Club, so he quickly asked:

"Test? What test?"

"I am responsible for part of Ms. Heita's simulated universe project." Jiang Yan answered nonchalantly.

The huge daily maintenance and research costs of the Black Tower Space Station rely heavily on the sponsorship and technology acquisition of the Interstellar Peace Company. Of course, the money-eating beast of the simulated universe project cannot be hidden from the academic representative of the Interstellar Peace Company in front of him. The budget may even be signed by the other party personally.

In this case, there is naturally no need to hide the fact that I joined the gang.

However, Jiang Yan had forgotten that with the arrogance of geniuses, when would they ever treat mortals equally? Joining the ranks of the four geniuses without a care in the world was actually not much different from the probationary period of the envoy.

Who is this guy? Although Latio wanted to continue the conversation, he still had several important guests waiting to be entertained. Seeing that the two of them were chatting endlessly, Estelle had no choice but to move closer to Jiang Yan and urge him:

"Okay! Let's stop chatting here. How about we wait until the press conference is over and then talk at the welcoming banquet?"

"Okay, Professor Latio, please allow us to take our leave first and talk again later."

After saying that, the two bowed slightly to apologize to Latio and their fellow scholars, then turned and rushed to the Interstellar Peace Company assessment team that had just arrived.

This time, the atmosphere was much more casual. As soon as the hatch opened, Jiang Yan joked to the leader of the exchange group:

"Sending you, a non-performing asset liquidation expert, does this mean that the company has already considered this key a non-performing asset?"

"If there are any such non-performing assets anywhere, please be sure to introduce them to me. I will accept no one." Sha Jin, who made a lot of money from selling tickets and owed favors to others, said with a smile.

Black Tower Space Station projects are typically coordinated and evaluated by the Bozhi Society, but as is customary, it ultimately comes down to which department has the most influence and whether the benefits are worth the hassle. And Shajin, who doesn't want to just profit from selling scalped tickets, is a ruthless gambler with a strong sense of gambler.

After discovering that what was released this time was enough to change the entire universe, Shajin immediately obtained the endorsement of the Strategic Investment Department with the reason that "the other party is my client, so it is natural for me to continue to follow this project." He then rushed to the Black Tower Space Station without hesitation, preparing to sell tickets on the spot while trying to steal orders from the Boshi Society, and then sell them to the Boshi Society at a higher price.

Seeing the determined look on Jiang Yan's face as he watched the gold sand gain the upper hand, he could only sigh helplessly and accept the reality that his friend with a keen sense of smell was about to come and stir up trouble.

The last time the opponent attacked Yalilo No. 6, Jiang Yan was really caught off guard.

It's only been a short while now? Has the pain healed and been forgotten?

At this moment, Jiang Yan was extremely grateful that he had done a good job of sticking to the Danding Division's brand this time, diverting most of the attention and hatred. Otherwise, God knows what kind of mess it would end up being if he cooperated with this guy again.

Finally, after busy and intense preparations, the press conference that attracted the attention of half the galaxy officially kicked off.

The recently renovated Keys of Inspiration were already displayed in the "Product Experience Area," where station security personnel were on hand to maintain order. Meanwhile, the Keys of Enlightenment, painstakingly crafted by Jiang Yan, were displayed around the makeshift stage, drawing the attention of the scholars who had already opened the door.

This thing can actually be mass-produced!

Now that this thing can be mass-produced, can we all look forward to the grand occasion of everyone holding one and becoming an intellectually advanced person?

It's amazing! You must watch it!

In the heated atmosphere that had already begun before the press conference officially began, Yu Luo walked up to the podium and began her part:

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Luo, the chief alchemist of the Luofu Danding Division in Xianzhou."

“I’m honored to be here to share with you Dandingsi’s latest achievement – ​​the Key to Inspiration.”

"Though we, the Immortal Ships, serve as the spearheads of Lord Emperor Gong, 'hunting' is simply the path we must follow. Lord Emperor Gong has never constrained our beliefs. Therefore, over five thousand years ago, we established the 'Panzhi Gewu Academy' to continuously supply high-level technical personnel who tread the path of knowledge to various departments across the Immortal Ships."

"It is precisely because of this that we, the people of Xianzhou, have a more objective and pragmatic understanding of the path of destiny. This key of inspiration is the result of this philosophy."

"Mr. Veritas Ladio, a renowned scholar within the Society of Knowledge, once said: Knowledge should be shared, and so should truth. Regarding the problem of the light of truth only illuminating a select few, thanks to the crucial inspiration provided by Mr. Gold Sand from the Interstellar Peace Company, we at the Danding Division have devised a simple solution: a genius who possesses the truth generously shares this intellectual brilliance with all who seek it."

After hearing Yu Luo's words, Sha Jin almost fainted.

Why drag me into this? Aren't you really afraid I'll be fired for leaking department secrets? The other ten people in Shixin also did it, why only me?

However, the matter was settled, and his protest was ultimately in vain. Yu Luo soon continued:

"So we found the holder of the invitation to the Hall of Truth, Mr. Jiang Yan, the future 85th seat of the Genius Club. After our sincere persuasion, Mr. Jiang Yan agreed to this plan. However, flesh and blood are not gods, and it is difficult to spread the power of knowledge over long distances."

"So we combined the forces of Punklord, Screw Star, several mechanical planets, the Luofu Danding Division, and the Taipu Division to build a super terminal capable of carrying the truth—codenamed: Prometheus."

"The key of inspiration you experience is not so much a magical object as it is a signal receiving terminal, a guide that allows ordinary people to enjoy the "truth" held by Prometheus and embark on the path of intellectual enlightenment."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a dead silence due to the generosity of the Xianzhou people.

The 85th seat in the Genius Club? Where did this guy come from? Serving ordinary people? This is too un-genius.

However, compared to the following sentence, the explosive news that the genius club has new blood is nothing.

Being able to carry the truth and share it with all those who connect through the authentication port, isn’t this the Master of Knowledge?

Gathering the power of a genius, the power of Punklord, the power of Screw Star and Luo Fu, to create a small Boshizun?

Everyone's rationality was refusing to accept this outrageous news, but it was obvious that whether it was Punk Lord who possessed the star core hunter Silver Wolf, Screw Star which possessed the genius Screw Gum, or the Immortal Boat itself which was protected by the Star God, none of them could be used to impersonate and ruin their reputation.

Mobilizing such a large force... Could it be that they are really playing this?

Are you, the Xianzhou people, so brave just because you have the "hunting" shield? Are you going to directly replace the Star God?

Having one Star God isn't enough for you, you're planning to get a second one?

It's so evil, so blasphemous, so lawless... Well, a friend of mine wants to know, can this small-time Bo Shi Zun really guide us into the door and illuminate the way forward?

Oops, I'm being haunted by a genius! : Chapter 177 Buy One Get One Free

Although Boshizun's followers are spread throughout the universe, if there is a chance to replace him with a more generous boss, probably all the seekers of knowledge in the universe will choose to agree without hesitation.

What's the point of being loyal to a boss who doesn't give you strength or guidance?

Even if the little Boshizun created by the Xianzhou people has only one percent of the ability of the original one, isn't "Hunting" one percent more generous, ten thousand times better than the mechanical stingy rooster made by Zandal?

So when faced with the opportunity to find a more generous "sub-landlord", the press conference scene immediately became sharply divided.

After experiencing the signal of truth transmitted by the "Key of Inspiration," the knowledge seekers who had failed to open the door to knowledge were almost all thrown into a frenzy, eager to immediately find the nonexistent checkout counter and place orders on the spot. If the Black Tower Space Station's security department had not been fully mobilized, these samples would have been forcibly taken away by these fanatical seekers and forced to pay for them.

The destiny travelers who have already opened the door to knowledge, although they also stared at the "keys of enlightenment" on the podium without blinking, were visibly full of concerns and hesitations, and did not take any extraordinary actions.

Such a big fuss has been made in the territory of Ms. Black Tower, the Envoy of Intelligence, so it must be true.

But wisdom is all-encompassing, and the destinies of wisdom naturally have countless paths. Having a lighthouse is certainly a good thing, but who can tell us which path this lighthouse leads to?

Let’s take a look at the production team of “Xiao Bo Shi Zun”.

A Punky Lord who excels at reality editing and is known for his lawlessness on the Interstellar Internet;

Who knows when they will be enslaved by the anti-organic equation again and become an omnic that destroys the entire universe;

The most famous demonic race in the universe, the Immortal Boat People, have been hunting down the People of Plenty for over five thousand years.

Is it certain that the path opened up by this combination leads to the right path of "intelligence" rather than the evil path of "mad scientist"?

We have finally stepped into the door of "knowledge". If we are led astray by accident, won't we be completely doomed?

Looking at the different expressions of the audience below, Yu Luo on the stage was not panicked at all. After all, everything in front of her was recorded in her "script" as if it were the result of Taibu Si's deduction.

She was already prepared, so she just continued calmly:

"Words are not enough. Those of you who have opened the door to knowledge, please step forward and feel the light of truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of scholars came forward impatiently and went straight to the Key of Enlightenment that Jiang Yan placed on the stage.

The Key of Enlightenment does not have as many compromised designs as the Key of Inspiration. It is purely an imitation that Jiang Yan created based on his own Key of Knowledge, using an extremely condensed version of "truth" as the basis, and transforming his own thinking, logic, and strategy into intellectual power, injecting it into the continuous circulation, and ultimately degrading it.

Although the amount of information and thickness are far superior to the original, even if it only carries a trace of "truth", the temptation is not something that these ordinary people who have never met the Master of Knowledge can bear. Just playing with it in their hands and sensing it makes them instantly abandon their previous thoughts and become completely addicted to it.

Off track? No way!

This is a ray of light from the top of the mountain, the answer we have been pursuing all our lives!

"Being able to witness the truth with my own eyes makes my life worthwhile!"

"Is this the view at the end? It's so beautiful!"

"That's wonderful! Even if I fight for it for a hundred years, a thousand years, it's worth it!"

"Hurry up! It's time for a change! It's my turn!"

"Wait! Why are you rushing me? I haven't finished the inspection yet!"

Seeing a group of renowned scholars all turned into cats on catnip, even tearing at the key without any manners, Latio, who was at the end of the queue, sighed helplessly. With his arms that could run like horses, he easily pried open the clenched hands of a scholar obsessed with the key, took the Key of Enlightenment in his hands, and after careful observation and perception, he sighed again.

The other party really downgraded the extremely precise and wonderful power structure in the Key of Knowledge and copied it out.

Even though this crude manipulation of imaginary force, like a middle school student copying a math paper, seemed completely inferior to Latio's, so what? This was something he could never achieve without the key.

Moreover, as a genius, he actually had the courage to become a fire thief and impart truth to ordinary people. With such courage and nobility, what does skill mean in comparison? He is indeed qualified to be the 85th seat in the Genius Club!

Thinking of this, Latio indifferently handed the key to another scholar who had been waiting for a long time but did not dare to step forward due to the difference in strength, and returned to his seat silently.

At this moment, seeing the scholars who opened the door to their destiny being so obsessed, everyone's doubts naturally disappeared, and were replaced by crazy anxiety and eagerness to try.

Since the Key of Enlightenment is so powerful, it seems that the Key of Inspiration must be very powerful as well!

Haven't those dozens of people above had enough? Hurry up and get out of here! It's time for the key to inspiration!

Where are the security personnel? Clear the area!

Seeing the crowd's excitement, seemingly ready to throw something at the scholars on stage, Yu Luo quickly hinted to Jiang Yan to retrieve the Keys of Enlightenment. However, as the initiator of the conference, Jiang Yan felt embarrassed to imitate Latio's moral character and force the Keys. After many twists and turns, he finally retrieved the last Key of Enlightenment from the last scholar who refused to let go, allowing the press conference to continue.

However, the atmosphere in the audience was already boiling with calls of "Where can I place my order?", "I want to buy it now!", and "Can you send me the purchase link directly?" Yu Luo was almost speechless and could only raise her hands to signal everyone to calm down.

"Please calm down, everyone. While the Dan Ding Division wouldn't mind sharing this inspiration and enlightenment with friendly civilizations throughout the universe, unfortunately, even after the Dan Ding Division and Mr. Jiang Yan's repeated efforts, the crucial step of encapsulating the 'truth' can currently only be accomplished by Mr. Jiang Yan, who has been granted a glance by the Venerable Boshi. Therefore, I regret to inform you that for a long time to come, you will only be able to enjoy this inspiration and enlightenment within the Black Tower Space Station. The station will accept applications from all seekers of knowledge equally."

As soon as these words were uttered, there was an uproar in the audience.

Everyone was prepared for a rip-off, but these guys didn't even ask for money? They only wanted to rent, not sell?

The entire universe is dividing up this little bit of production capacity? Wouldn't the queue last until the universe is extinguished?

Of course, there would be no fools who were interested in the way of knowledge. Soon, the noise in the venue calmed down, and everyone was staring at Yu Luo, waiting for her to throw out the main plot.

Yu Luo did not disappoint everyone and said very straightforwardly:

"Of course, our spirit of sharing remains unchanged. If you can convince a genius to join us, we will be happy to share all our technology."
