Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

"I like it, I like it very much."

This sentence, which was like a hammer of truth, once again gave the entire space station a huge gossip shock.

In the short few days when Jiang Yan first became a frozen fish and then an ornamental fish, his heroic act of saving the beauty had already become a representative of romance and infatuation in the entire universe, and the news spread faster than the light arrow of "Hunting".

A male protagonist with a mysterious identity, a cosmic-level lady, vicious criminals, a rescue across half the universe, a desperate physical airborne operation, high-end combat beyond imagination, and finally fireworks celebrating the destruction of the planet. Compared with this true story, Epseron's most exciting play is nothing!

In this age of the universe where in most cases, missing something means missing it forever, how can anyone be so romantic?

However, what the audience never expected was that before Epseron's new drama and the Fox Man movie were even finished, this "lovestruck man" actually had another daughter? And this daughter is the future leader of the omnic civilization?

Are you going to shoot a TV series?

Shoot! We'll watch as many episodes of a series of this quality as we can!

Completely captivated by such a brutal performance, the audience's wariness instantly transformed into an overflowing desire for gossip. The fan-shaped formation that had originally greeted Screw Gum quickly transformed into a figure-8 formation, and even gradually began to evolve into a Q-shaped formation.

Seeing Jiang Yan's predicament, the sensible ScrewGum took the initiative to ask Ester:

"Ms. Ester, where is the location of this meeting?"

Faced with ScrewGum's question, Esther, whose mind had gone blank after being shocked by Jiang Yan's "daughter", finally came back to her senses and nodded quickly, saying:

"Ms. Heita should be in her office. Please go this way. I will lead the way for you."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Yan a look that said "I'll contact you later", and then led Screw Gumu and his followers off the platform.

Being pointed at by so many people, Jiang Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to pull Prometheus back to his dormitory as if escaping, and sat down on a chair.

However, the next moment, a soft feeling came from his legs. Prometheus was already sitting on his legs, leaning back skillfully, and began to absorb his body temperature, strength and emotions as much as possible.

Well, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, so it's understandable that we can be a little closer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Prometheus, is everything on Screw Star over?"

Prometheus, who was adjusting the shape and flexibility of his body to squeeze out as much emotion as possible, answered without hesitation:

"Done. I've completely integrated the computing power of the Screw Star Differential Instrument. As a price, the first billion omnic consciousnesses, nearing their friction limit, have been uploaded to the storage space, becoming a hive of cloud-based data access."

"How much more? One billion?" Jiang Yan was shocked by the depth of Screw Star's resources. A billion Omnics that had reached the limit of friction? Just how many soldiers did you secretly recruit in preparation for war?

The friction limit isn't something easily reached. For omnics, knowledge and memory are the two most important data points that inform their behavioral decisions. The more knowledge and memory they possess, the more accurate their judgments will be, but of course, the longer it will take them to make them.

When the speed at which intelligent machines make decisions becomes insufficient for work or daily life, the first option is naturally to increase computing power and optimize algorithms. However, such improvements ultimately have their limits. Even if the equipment allows, the soul cannot sustain such unlimited evolution. When further improvements in computing power and algorithms are truly impossible, the more cumbersome method of deleting stored knowledge and memories becomes necessary to increase judgment speed.

But while knowledge is easy to delete, memories are difficult. For an omnic, memory is their most important "existence" and "self," distinguishing them from countless other similar machines. Deleting their memory is no different from committing suicide.

Deleting memories is equivalent to suicide, and repeatedly deleting unimportant memories is equivalent to torture, turning one pain into countless pains.

So when there's nothing left to add, nothing left to modify, and nothing left to delete, an omnic has, in a sense, reached the end of its lifespan—the limit of friction. They face the prospect of having their entire memory erased, "committing suicide" to become a completely new omnic, or simply sealing themselves off, awaiting salvation through new technology or algorithms.

However, from another perspective, every intelligent machine that reaches the limit of friction is also a powerful being who has developed his body and soul to the extreme.

There are billions of such existences on Screw Star?

Has the existence of Prometheus saved the strongest among a billion intelligent machines?

Jiang Yan finally figured out why ScrewGum was so easy to talk to and even gave Prometheus the status of a "princess".

Who wouldn’t be grateful for this? Who wouldn’t hold on tightly to such a life-saving thigh?

Wait a minute, who would deliberately show such a lifeline to outsiders? Aren’t they afraid of being wiped out by the forces that hate the intelligent machines?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan asked curiously:

"Prometheus, what is the purpose of ScrewGum bringing you to the Black Tower Space Station?"

Faced with this unexpected question, Prometheus replied doubtfully:

"Come and inject some mechanical cells into you, Daddy! From now on, we'll be real father and daughter. Be happy, Daddy!"

Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 221 Cell Implantation

"Ah, this..."

Even though Jiang Yan's worldview had been broadened countless times, he still found it hard to bear the fact that his "daughter" was about to inject him with mechanical cells to transform his body.

In this cosmic age, developing offspring is no longer limited to traditional reproduction. Acts such as granting power or changing life forms are enough to call the other party a descendant.

From now on, I will be your father and you will be my mother, and we will each go our separate ways?

No, if I wait until she displays certain characteristics of mechanical cells and then use similar moves, won’t public opinion in the entire universe explode instantly?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan could no longer sit still and hurriedly took Prometheus to Ruan Mei's laboratory.

We can't delay any longer! We must quickly find Ruan Mei to resolve this matter.

With this genius' endorsement, how can there be any descendants? This is clearly a filial daughter donating some stem cells to her old father for treatment!

Fortunately, Jiang Yan, who had originally worried that the geniuses might be having a private gathering, actually saw Ruan Mei in the laboratory. She was sitting in front of a fully prepared life support capsule, quietly listening to an opera whose name Jiang Yan couldn't recognize with her eyes closed. It was obvious that she had already prepared for his visit.

"Come on, dear, with Miss Prometheus's assistance, the experiment will go smoothly."

Huh? When did you two become so familiar with each other?

Although he had some doubts, Jiang Yan didn't think much about it. He lay directly in the life support cabin, waiting for Ruan Mei to extract some mechanical cells from Prometheus and inject them into himself.

The next moment, Jiang Yan saw Prometheus float directly into the life support cabin and lie on top of him. After rubbing his head against his chest intimately, his entire body suddenly "dissolved" into a silver metallic liquid under his horrified gaze, tightly wrapping around him as if he were wearing a silver, close-fitting metal suit, which gradually began to seep into his body.

Faced with this scene of a magical girl being captured and corrupted by a monster, Jiang Yan was completely stunned.

It's just injecting some cells, is it necessary to be so bizarre?

No, the key question is, is it really necessary to inject so many cells? This is too much! I can't really turn myself into a mechanical dragon, right?

Just as Jiang Yan was about to ask a question, a pair of hands that he was extremely familiar with, with the fragrance of wintersweet, gently penetrated the layer of white metal, reached into his body, and began to re-adjust his body tissues like stirring coffee.

"Don't be nervous. Prometheus will precisely control these mechanical cells and participate in the genetic conflict and cell phagocytosis war in your body. With her assistance, we can greatly speed up the progress of the experiment." Ruan Mei's voice, calm but with a unique fanaticism for truth, clearly reached Jiang Yan's ears from outside the metal layer, and blocked all of Jiang Yan's questions back into his stomach.

"Don't worry, Dad. I will assign an intelligent consciousness to each mechanical cell and will never let you get hurt again. This body of mine is my gift to you. After the operation is completed, we will never be separated again." After greedily absorbing the emotions in Jiang Yan's body for a long time, Prometheus said like offering a treasure.

As a Sui Yang, a mixed body formed by the digital life and Jiang Yan's body, Prometheus found that he could not bear to leave Jiang Yan's body after being busy for a while on the screw star. He felt a sense of emptiness when he could not absorb the emotions all the time.

But Prometheus also knew that staying in his father's arms was not a long-term solution. It would affect his ability to exert his strength, and he would not be comfortable being burned by the horrible flames.

So when Ruan Mei came to ask for mechanical cells, Prometheus helped Ruan Mei without hesitation based on his great contribution in saving the "elderly" intelligent machine, but the only requirement was that the injected mechanical cells could not come from anyone else, only from her.

This request didn't matter to Ruan Mei at all. Everyone's "recipes" did not overlap. She was only interested in Jiang Yan's experimental value and ideas. As long as they didn't interfere with her progress in this regard, no matter how many people had their eyes on him, as long as they contributed enough value, she would be happy to see it succeed.

For example, those Vajra people who are dedicated to introducing the power of "immortality";

For example, ScrewGum who said nothing but achieved his goal;

Another example is the Black Tower which is about to "invest".

The more "shareholders" of this level, the better.

So with the consent of the two geniuses, Prometheus' new body became an "injection" and entered Jiang Yan's body.

Of course, Jiang Yan does not need so many mechanical cells. After completing the adaptation and gene imprinting, most of the mechanical cells will be extracted from Jiang Yan's body by Ruan Mei. The only ones that can truly remain in Jiang Yan's body to replace the original organs are still the dragon's heart and a small part along the arteries.

Mechanical cells do have a stable structure, but every advantage has a disadvantage. Structural stability also means that these mechanical cells will constantly mutate under the stimulation of force. The possibility of optimization and even evolution is far less than that of flesh and blood cells and energy bodies. How could Jiang Yan and Ruan Mei allow this structure to completely replace their bodies?

So after completing the replacement of the heart and arteries, Ruan Mei took her hands out of Jiang Yan's chest and began to touch his body. Wherever her hands touched, a layer of dense and solid silver-white metal scales soon appeared on the skin of Jiang Yan's hands, feet, chest and other important parts.

Feeling the metal scales connected to his skin and blood vessels, Jiang Yan, who was about to become a member of the Metal Chiming Clan, could not help but complain and asked quickly:

"Um...why is it designed like this?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Ruan Mei tilted her head slightly in confusion and asked softly:

"Hasn't the Chiming Clan always wanted you to become like this?"

"No way!" Jiang Yan angrily overturned the coffee table in his heart.

He dared to guarantee that if he returned to the medical ship in this appearance, only about one-fifth of the Chiming people present would be overjoyed, and the remaining 80% would probably go crazy on the spot.

They are here to seek the continuation of their race, not to ascend mechanically. Who can bear to become a mechanical Vajra Clan?

Facing Jiang Yan's fierce opposition, Ruan Mei said nonchalantly:

"It's okay. These metal cells are connected to your blood. How they attach to your body is entirely up to you and Prometheus."

"Yes, Dad. What image do you want? Prometheus can grant your wish."

Following Prometheus' words, Jiang Yan instantly transformed from a mechanical Chiming tribe into a silver tights mask, a silver mecha warrior, a silver dragon beast, a mechanical Tianhuan tribe with silver metal wings and a headband, and a mechanical fox man with silver ears and a large silver tail...

"Okay, okay, stop playing..." Seeing that his appearance was becoming more and more outrageous, Jiang Yan hurriedly patted his big silver ears, which calmed down Prometheus, who was eager to get a permanent meal ticket. He changed back into a girl and hugged Jiang Yan tightly.

At this time, Ruan Mei finally completed all the cell fusion. After stroking Jiang Yan's cheek, she looked at him calmly and said:

"The initial cell fusion is complete. Next, you'll need to gradually master how to control these cells through practice. Try to practice slowly under the supervision of the Immortal Ship people. The Immortals fell before the birth of most civilizations, and even within the simulated universe, there's not much valuable data. How far you can go on this path depends on your own efforts."

After saying that, he opened the life support capsule and carried Jiang Yan out along with Prometheus, who was clinging to him like a koala.

"My dear, I am looking forward to your performance."

The sudden intimate gesture made Jiang Yan's brain stop working for a moment. It was not until he was put on the ground and his whole body was soaked in the fragrance of wintersweet that he was flattered and quickly stood up to express his gratitude to the crazy scientist who had saved and helped him several times in a row.

"Well, you saved me again. I really don't know how to thank you."

However, what responded to him was a finger on his lips that seemed to carry the scent of pastries:

"It's just a reward for exceeding expectations. Just like before, if you perform well, you will get a reward, dear."

Looking at the endless enthusiasm and desire for truth in Ruan Mei's eyes, Jiang Yan was extremely certain at this moment that even if he successfully became the 85th seat of the Genius Club, he would never be able to become a pure person like her.

It seems that if I want to get the truth, I can only be her assistant for life, but it doesn't seem so bad...

Shaking his head and getting rid of these wild thoughts, Jiang Yan, who didn't want to disappoint Ruan Mei's expectations, quickly adjusted himself and began to study the mechanical cells in his body that were full of vitality and could even be left alone to form an array to fight against other specialized cells.

Even though he had made all the necessary preparations, he never imagined that the so-called "injection of mechanical cells" would actually mean injecting his entire daughter directly into his body and making her a part of his own.

Although what was absorbed was just a body, not a direct fusion;

Although it seems that there is no difference from staying in the arm before;

Even with Prometheus's control, there's no reason why these conscious mechanical cells won't win the civil war;

But this is too weird... Jiang Yan, who couldn't accept the appearance of the mechanical Vajra Clan and mechanical fox people, fell into a rare confusion.

"Sister, what do you think?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but secretly ask the resident No. 1 in his body.

Speaking of which, my sister's silence about this experiment was odd. She was usually incredibly protective of her food, but she didn't raise a fuss when faced with a formidable opponent like Prometheus? This couldn't be possible!

"What? Xiao Jiang, do you want to see your sister jealous?" Faced with the brother who came to her door on his own initiative, Tingyun did not hesitate to start the usual teasing with a sweet voice. After feeling Jiang Yan's embarrassment as she wished, she revealed the answer:

"Why would my sister refuse other delicious foods that are put in front of her mouth?"

Unlike what Jiang Yan had imagined, Tingyun really liked this "daughter" hatched from her fragments.

The reason is simple: even though she never tires of eating her brother's food, it would be a waste of ingredients if the cooking methods were always the same. As a gourmet, she believes that emotions are something you get tired of if you keep eating the same thing. You need to stimulate it with different identities and methods to bring out all kinds of delicious flavors!

However, things are different now than they were back then. Although locking in the identity of "Tingyun" allowed him to gain this younger brother, it also made it impossible for him to change into millions of aliases like he did in the past to enjoy different tastes.

At this time, a "daughter" hatched from a fragment becomes very important.

This "daughter" was truly gifted in this area. Every time she appeared, she would make Tingyun experience a variety of emotions. Adding to the fact that the emotions created by her own brother were truly satisfying, Tingyun certainly didn't mind keeping this "daughter" around to continue cooking for her, making her stronger and stronger, and eventually merging them together, allowing her to create even more interesting emotions for her brother in the dual roles of "sister" and "daughter."

Of course, there's no need to tell my brother, who has more conservative values, about the second half...

However, even though he only knew half of the truth, when Jiang Yan learned that Tingyun had been secretly eating from Prometheus, he suddenly realized it.

Our ghost fire fox spirit sister will do anything to get food, so it is normal for her to have a "chef".

"Then sister, is there any more acceptable way to make Prometheus stay with me?"

Regarding the issue of world views, Jiang Yan, who had been unable to come up with a solution after much thought, finally chose to seek answers from the destroyer of world views in his body.

Faced with this question, Tingyun answered without hesitation:

"You already have your sister's armor, so why not turn it into a sword? Don't you always feel that the sword of the Ancient Sea Water is difficult to use?"

"Hey, that's right!"

Jiang Yan suddenly realized what was wrong with him, that he had to let Prometheus wrap himself around him. Wouldn't it be better to turn into a sword?

It is difficult for me to perfectly control the sword of Ancient Sea Water. Wouldn't it be enough to add my daughter as the sword spirit?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan suddenly became excited:

"Prometheus, please help me. Can you transform this sword?"
