Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

As members of the Black Tower Space Station, researchers treading the path of "intellect," who could remain calm in the face of the "Key of Intellect," an invitation to the Genius Club? The moment Black Tower uttered the words "Key of Intellect," Estelle and Sinkel nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets, eager to get a closer look at the invitation that might never reach them.

"Huh? Isn't it right here?" Jiang Yan took out the Key of Enlightenment from his waist and showed it to Ester. However, he saw only confusion in her eyes. Turning to look at Sinkel, he only got a shake of his head and confusion, which soon turned into depression.

"It turns out I'm not even qualified to take a look at the invitation..."

Anyone who finds that their life's work ultimately leaves them without even a glimpse of their dream would struggle to maintain a stable state of mind. While Ester wasn't quite so overwhelmed by her youth, she also bore a visible trace of regret on her face.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way!" Seeing Esther so disappointed, Jiang Yan immediately became anxious.

How can this be possible? I, Boshizun, have the guts to analyze it, so what else do I need?

It would be better to say that since the feast of Boshizun cannot be analyzed for the time being, isn’t it the same to take the key as dessert after the meal?

Jiang Yan had no concerns about whether Boshi Zun would still accept him as an employee after he ruined his "probationary period badge." If he couldn't analyze other Star Gods, there was no way they would keep him, a fake genius who couldn't even write a paper. But if he could analyze other Star Gods, how could Boshi Zun give up on him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan poured his power into the key without hesitation, analyzing the "truth" that constructed it, as well as the thoughts, logic, and strategies that constantly flowed through it. He then handed the resulting content to the digital life forms that were enthusiastically analyzing the extremely complex equation:

"Prometheus, help!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Jiang Yan's "after-meal dessert" came just in time. The equations and algorithms he had worked so hard to analyze were too huge. Both Punklord and Screw Star, in addition to being ecstatic, had a feeling of being faced with a behemoth that they had no idea where to start. After a brief communication between Silver Wolf and Screw Gum, they decided that Screw Gum would be responsible for negotiating with other mechanical planets and trying to get them to join.

The equation was so powerful that it was unimaginable, and the algorithm was so advanced that it was unbelievable. Logically, the mechanical planet should have been ecstatic and begged for sharing, but the intelligent machines were really scared by the powerful equation of unknown origin. Even though the savior of all intelligent machines, ScrewGum, personally guaranteed that the equation came from Boshizun, no mechanical planet dared to take a bite of this huge pie that fell from the sky before confirming whether he was controlled by the equation and conducting a lot of analysis and testing on the equation.

What's even more terrible is that even with the entire computing power and smart brains of the two planets, plus the genius of Screw Gum, this powerful equation cannot be completely solved and can only be solved by recruiting others. What ability do these mechanical planets have to solve such a great equation?

So in the blink of an eye, things fell into an unsolvable vicious circle.

——Use the new equation!

——How dare I use the new equation without solving it?

——Then go analyze it!

——How can I solve it without using new equations?

Silver Wolf: "Don't your compatriots need some oil on their heads?"

ScrewGum: "......"

In fact, this is not an overreaction of the intelligent machines. They rely on chips to think calmly and it is impossible for them to have so-called "bias". It is just that the precedent of the anti-organic equation is too terrible.

The anti-organic equation may have long been a forgotten history in the eyes of today's humans, but in the eyes of intelligent machines, even now, it is still the biggest nightmare hanging over the heads of all mechanical life.

Since the first anti-organic war, almost all mechanical planets have devoted a lot of energy to how to resist this doomsday command that can easily control all of them.

But putting aside the fact that the equation had long since disappeared with the assassination of Emperor Rupert, even if it were obtained, which omnic would dare to open it and analyze it?

Without analysis, there is no defense; without defense, there is no analysis. The mechanical life forms are thus trapped in a vicious circle that is almost the same as the current one, which is completely unsolvable. In the end, they can only adopt the most conservative means - constantly iterating their own algorithms, striving to eliminate the huge bug of "being affected by anti-organic equations" after a certain optimization.

However, after many Amber Ages of effort, the omnics were faced with the Second Anti-Organic War. Familiar equations, familiar flavors, countless algorithms optimized in various ways, proved to be of no use, and they were once again reduced to mere puppets slaughtering organic life. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Grum, the omnics would have been wiped out by the enraged organics.

Even though dozens of Amber Ages have passed since the Second Anti-Organic War, and the intelligent machines have iterated their algorithms countless times, no mechanical planet is still confident that it can resist the damn anti-organic equation.

In this situation, if a compatriot suddenly presents a set of equally powerful equations and algorithms, who knows how many backdoors are hidden in them? Who would dare to try them casually?

Jiang Yan's "dessert" arrived just in time. The structure and power, inherited from the divine body of the Great Knowledge Master, were sufficient proof of the equation's origins, not to mention the supporting evidence of Rotogrum's own Key of Knowledge. With such ample evidence, how could these omnics, who already held Rotogrum in such high esteem, not doubt it?

So, just after receiving the preliminary analysis of the Key of Knowledge, ScrewGum, after a period of silence, began to provide computing power to Prometheus and help her complete the analysis.

Although he shoulders the fate of the entire Screw Star and even all the intelligent machines, and although he does not have the courage to remove his own key to prove the safety of the equation to his compatriots, he still has the courage to help others remove their keys.

Of course, Screwgum could think of this simple way of proof, but among the eighty-four members of the entire Genius Club, Screwgum had never heard of anyone who dared to open the token bestowed by Master Boshi and analyze the power contained therein.

What? You still want to imitate it?

Such a strong spirit of seeking knowledge is really too brave, no, too in line with the way of "intellect". No wonder the Master of Knowledge would glance at him.

Even though it came from a Star God, and even though it contained considerable power, the Key of Wisdom was ultimately just a beacon for the Knowledge Master to establish a connection with the Genius. With the foreshadowing of his previous full-scale analysis, Jiang Yan soon understood how to make this small piece of "truth" manifest before mortals:

The answer was incredibly simple, and had even been clearly displayed before him - the key he had perceived was simply the result of the Knowledge Master using the power of his intellect as a "light source" to illuminate a small piece of "truth" and create an observable projection. People who had not walked far enough on the path of "knowledge" naturally could not see it.

You just need to follow the same method, "color" it with your own thinking, logic and strategy, and then connect it with the other person's spirit, and you will naturally be able to see it.

But how do you connect with the other person's spirit? Throwing a ball of Sui Yang Fire into their body? That wouldn't be a good idea...

Although Jiang Yan was now quite skilled at using Sui Yang Fire, it was limited to burning his enemies to ash or even a vegetative state with full force. As for the subtle skills of possession, mind control, and extracting power from the host—Sui Yang's natural abilities—he certainly didn't know any of them, and he certainly didn't want to learn them.

However, one only regrets not having learned enough when the knowledge is needed. Faced with the spiritual connection that any little Suiyang can handle, Jiang Yan, who only knows how to barbecue, is at a loss. Prometheus is busy, so is he going to throw his sister over?

Just as he was thinking this, Tingyun, who had sensed Jiang Yan's thoughts, suddenly appeared in his mind and said jokingly:

"I don't object! However, once the power is unleashed, the souls of Sui Yang and the host will inevitably contaminate each other. With their spiritual strength, after the connection, their favorability towards you will increase by 70 or 80 points. Don't blame me for not telling you!"

"But it seems like a good idea for you, Xiao Jiang. If Miss Ester falls in love with you, you'll have endless credit points, right?"

After tasting Jiang Yan's flavor, she had long since given up on eating ordinary people's spirits. It wouldn't fill her up, and the taste wouldn't be good, so why would she put herself in such a difficult position?

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't need it!"

Jiang Yan was startled by Tingyun's words. Recalling the people he'd seen possessed by Sui Yang during his time on the ghost hunting team, it became clear that Tingyun's story was spot on. As powerful as she was, she was no ordinary Sui Yang. A weaker host wouldn't even be enough for her, let alone resist the spiritual contamination. Jiang Yan didn't want to feel any kind of copy-paste affection from his friend.

Sui Yang's path was not feasible, and Jiang Yan, unable to think of any other good solution, had no choice but to explain the situation and throw the question to Ester:

"...This is the situation. Estelle, do you have any good ideas to connect our spirits?"

However, Ester tilted her head and responded curiously:

"Connecting the spirit? Remember that jacket fruit ice cream we didn't order at dinner? Mrs. Hinkle, is that okay?"

As the head of the Star Realm Species Department, Sinkel was of course well aware of the various magical creatures under his department's jurisdiction and immediately replied:

"Of course not. The Jacket Fruit can only establish a weak neural resonance between the two bodies through the ingestion of its juice. The intensity of this resonance is very low. It is no problem to perceive the manifested emotions, but it is impossible to fully share the other party's cognition."

At this point, Schinkel changed the subject:

"However, there is a bottle of super concentrated jacket juice in the World Seed Department's laboratory. Combined with the World Seed Communicator, it should be able to achieve the effect you want, Station Master."

"Well, it doesn't seem to do any harm, so why not give it a try?"

Ester looked at Jiang Yan, blinking her eyes and speaking expectantly.

The Black Tower Station, also known as the Black Tower Ladies' Solo Fan Club, is a place where every genius fan is a genius. How could Estelle not be enthusiastic about the invitation to the Genius Club? With the station's motto of "Encouraging all curious adventures and rewarding all flows of knowledge," how could she be afraid of taking a risk for her own experiments?

Faced with Ester's big eyes that seemed to be acting cute, Jiang Yan certainly would not disappoint and refuse. He quickly followed the two of them to the Star Domain Seed Science Laboratory. Under Schinkel's guidance, he sat side by side with Ester on a test bench, with a bottle of iced colorless drink in his hand.

"What you have in your hand is super concentrated Jacket Juice. Don't worry, it's not as cold as it looks. It's just that the unripe flesh of this fruit automatically absorbs heat, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply."

Hinkle, back to work, became much more serious. The look he gave Jiang Yan was no longer complicated. Instead, like most of the lab workers, his eyes were filled with rationality and calmness.

"Now, please open the lid and drink about 50% within ten seconds. You must immediately give the rest to the stationmaster to drink, otherwise it will not take effect."

Jiang Yan obediently rang the bottle and handed it to Esther. He watched her sip the drink, which was not as cold as she had imagined, but still belonged to the category of cold drinks. He then stuck out his tongue mischievously and complained:

"As expected of a super concentrated drink, it's so sweet..."

"As expected of a super concentrated drink, it's so sweet..."

Before Ester could finish her words, Jiang Yan had already had the same feeling in his mind, and it was like a duet with her words, echoing in his ears and mind at the same time.

He turned his head curiously, and Ester also turned her head to look at him at the same time. This was not so much a tacit understanding as it was a feeling of directly transmitting each other's senses, which made Jiang Yan feel weird, as if he had become two, one here and another next to him.

At this moment, Hinkle's voice came from the front.

"Mr. Jiang Yan, please adapt to this feeling as quickly as possible. After all, the subsequent exhibition activities will focus on you. Please quickly eliminate the interference from the webmaster's senses."

"Mr. Webmaster, please control your emotions as much as possible to avoid causing too much disturbance to Mr. Jiang Yan."

"Now, I will put on the world-species communicator for you. The artificial nerve bundles will cause a little discomfort when they touch your bodies. Please be patient."

As Sinkel spoke, he put on a strange-looking helmet for Jiang Yan and Ester respectively. The helmet covered the eyes but not the ears. Countless transparent tubes with flowing light connected the two helmets, like bundles of human nerves.

At this moment, Schinkel's explanation also reached his ears in duplicate:

"This is a tool used by the World Species Department to fully communicate with those alien world species that are unable to communicate. It can completely connect the nerve bundles related to your senses and cognition. When the connection is first activated or terminated, there will be some discomfort and confusion in your self-perception, but don't worry, as long as it is not used for a long time or repeatedly, these feelings will soon disappear."

"The connection is about to start. 3, 2, 1, link start!"

The moment the connection was opened, Jiang Yan felt as if the tips of countless fine needles were piercing his head.

What is this? A mind spike? It hurts a little, but it's okay. Weird.

No! This feeling isn't mine, it's Estelle's!

How could I, a veteran of so many battles, complain about this little pain?

The moment he realized this, Jiang Yan's cognition, which had been confused with Esther's for some time, finally separated again, and the part that belonged to Esther and the part that belonged to himself were clearly separated again.

This thing...is pretty good!

Jiang Yan, who almost confused his own existence, did not feel fear, but instead enthusiastically perceived and savored the boundaries and differences between the two perceptions.

These people actually used this thing to do these crappy experiments? What a waste of good things! Jiang Yan silently complained.

For those who are destined to open that door, their will will almost inevitably be diverted by fate.

Although walking on the road of destiny is a kind of belief, few people are willing to become a puppet of destiny, especially Jiang Yan, who has just obtained the power of joy. He is even more afraid that once he puts on the mask, he will love no one and become a pure fun-loving person.

After feeling the strangeness of this machine, Jiang Yan couldn't help but have an idea: if there is a fool, or an antimatter soldier, or a bug, or other guys with relatively large negative effects and fate tied to the other side of this machine, using them as human dumbbells, and constantly training himself to do mental weight-bearing exercises like this, wouldn't it be very effective?

Seeing Jiang Yan's thoughts begin to diverge infinitely, Esther, who was eagerly waiting to see the key, finally couldn't help but interrupt him:

"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Who would use such a dangerous machine for this? What if it gets confused by connecting with those powerful creatures?"

"Hurry up and start. If you don't start now, Mrs. Hinkle will think something has gone wrong and suspend the experiment."

Jiang Yan finally realized that there was an extra listener in his mind and he couldn't let his thoughts run wild anymore. He quickly apologized:

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot, I'll start right away!"

After saying that, Jiang Yan imitated the structure of the Key of Knowledge and slowly "colored" it with his own thinking, logic and strategy.

It was clearly a small key given by Master Boshi casually, and it was clearly just to leave a trace of his own color in the torrent of knowledge, but Jiang Yan almost had his brain overloaded before he finally drew a rough outline of the key.

Fortunately, all these efforts were not in vain. The next moment, a huge surprise suddenly flooded into his consciousness:

"Ah, is this the invitation to the Genius Club? Xiao Jiang, you're awesome!"

--------

At the end of the month, we'll give you double the rewards. Thank you for your continued support.

It’s a new January, let’s cheer together!

Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 158 Dangerous Experiment

"It's so beautiful! The glory of truth is not enough even if I look at it for a lifetime!" After an unknown amount of time, Ester was still looking at the Key of Knowledge in Jiang Yan's hand with an intoxicated look on her face, and she would never take off her helmet.

She was happy, and she turned into Jiang Yan with the mask of pain on. Wave after wave of intense emotions mixed with "happiness", "satisfaction", "excitement" and "joy" surged into Jiang Yan's nerves like the tide, and forced empathy into his emotions.

But, this thing was clearly made by myself, so why should I be excited?

Jiang Yan, who had hoped to use this machine to refine his self-awareness not long ago, now felt as if he had been hit by a huge boomerang and spit out a mouthful of blood. Before he could feel the impact of his fate, he was hit by a massive amount of emotions and had to constantly cut and re-recognize his own emotions.

No, I can’t bear it!

How can I, who is calm and at most has a few complaints, compare with Esther, who is as excited as a cat that has seen catnip, in terms of the "volume" of her emotions?

Seeing that he was about to be completely overwhelmed by the emotions sent by Esther, Jiang Yan entered a state of foolish joy and quickly began to call for help:

"Sister, don't just watch, help me eat away these unnecessary emotions!"

If you eat it into someone else's body, it will contaminate them, but it should be okay to eat it into your own body!

However, what Jiang Yan didn't expect was that Tingyun, who usually couldn't wait to start eating the next meal as soon as he finished digesting the previous one, rejected his request with disgust:

"No! It's not tasty! Who would want to eat this kind of garbage emotion when I have Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Yan, whose emotions had been pushed into a small corner, heard Ting Yun's words and said angrily:

"When you were in your original form, you would eat up an entire planet without any care, whether it was raw or cold. Why didn't you say you were picky about food?"

However, facing Jiang Yan's accusation, Tingyun responded as if it was a matter of course:

"Who wants to eat sand when you have little cakes?"

"If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself, Xiao Jiang. You eat her and I eat you. So, if we round it up, I'm helping you eat."

After that, he taught Jiang Yan how to use the fire of the sun to ignite and absorb external emotions.

Tingyun's actions were a complete shock to Jiang Yan. He had never imagined that he would one day play the role of Sui Yang, feeding on his emotions. However, given the current situation, there seemed to be no better solution. Jiang Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Tingyun's "strategy." He carefully ignited a small flame of Sui Yang and began to emotionally roast, becoming a true Tingyun's younger brother.

The Suiyang Fire is indeed a strange flame fueled by emotions. In a blink of an eye, it easily consumed Ester's surging emotions, transformed them into its own "existence" and "power", and was then easily eaten by Tingyun, who had been waiting for a long time, with "Awu". In this way, a strange food chain was formed.

"Well, you are quite talented. You are worthy of being my younger brother." Seeing how Jiang Yan quickly became proficient, Tingyun praised him with a smile in his mind, and successfully earned a look of disdain from Jiang Yan.
