72: Section 72

"If we really run into anyone who doesn't know better,"

"Midnight, you know what to do, right?"

Giving a slight nod, Midnight replied with confidence:

"Master, rest assured. With the fifteen recent combat experiences as reference, the Navy's encirclements are no longer a concern."

"However, Master..."

"Are you leaving?"

Spreading his hands helplessly, Su Ming said:

"No choice. The Navy is chasing too relentlessly. Even though those idiots can't do anything to us, it's... endlessly annoying! I'd better go back to the main world to lay low for a while and catch up on the studies I missed before."

"Then... Master, are you abandoning me?"

Su Ming: "..."

Metro · Old Man · Cellphone · JPG!

What the hell?

Su Ming was utterly baffled.

Are you even listening to what you're saying?

The midnight rose embodies so much of my effort and consumed so many rare materials. Would I be crazy enough to... huh!

Wait!

Su Ming suddenly understood!

Su Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

So that's what this is all about!

Chapter 81 Pseudo-Current! The Angels Being Trash-Talked

Did Midnight know her own origins?

Of course she did.

She even knew about the angels, knew that Zhixin had initially programmed a profoundly intricate intelligent logic system framework for her!

Yes.

Midnight knew that the One Piece World was merely a fleeting stop for her master.

She understood even more clearly!

The Super God Universe was her master's home!

She was born in the Super God Universe and elevated in the One Piece World.

She had always watched her master travel freely between the two worlds, but he would eventually leave. When that time came... what would happen to the midnight rose and herself?

Every time she thought about this, Midnight felt as if the sky were falling.

Resentment practically gushed out of her in torrents.

Her combat power even increased a notch because of it... which was somehow logical.

Su Ming felt helpless.

He took out a message-in-a-bottle two-thirds filled with seawater and solemnly handed it to Midnight.

"This is a tool I made a few days ago. Its name is Pseudo-Current!"

Seeing this, Midnight immediately realized she had overthought things.

A suspicious blush actually appeared on her semi-transparent face?

Huh?

No way!

What are you blushing for, you bubble teapot!

Rolling his eyes speechlessly,

Su Ming continued his explanation:

"I originally planned to store the midnight rose inside the Pseudo-Current when the instance time was nearing its end."

"But since we happened to talk about this topic, there's no harm in discussing it with you now."

"In short, the main component of the Pseudo-Current isn't glass. It's made from a small branch I cut from the World Tree, Yggdrasil!"

"You don't need to worry about the existence of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. You just need to know one thing..."

Tossing the Pseudo-Current lightly in his hand, Su Ming raised an eyebrow proudly:

"Essentially, the Pseudo-Current is an independent Dream Bubble. The sea area inside this space spans hundreds of kilometers in radius!"

"An area of sea that large could even hold an entire aircraft carrier battle group. Not worried anymore, right?"

Not worried!

Midnight quickly shook her little head.

Hehe!—

Master is the best.

Thump!—

Without mercy, Su Ming gave her a flick on the forehead, saying with feigned annoyance:

"If you know your master is so good, then work hard for me! By the way, when you're sailing alone, remember to have the sirens salvage any shipwrecks you encounter!"

As soon as the words left his mouth,

Su Ming vanished amidst a radiant glow of teleportation.

Midnight, the entire ghost, felt wronged.

Is this right?

What happened to the promised domineering CEO storyline?

Wuwuwu!—

The Earth information Sister Moyi shared is definitely deceptive... Hey, deceiving ghosts isn't allowed either!

...

Super God Main World, Northern Shelter on Planet Feireze.

Something must have happened these past couple of days, as Zhixin and Moyi were often not home.

But it didn't matter.

Since it didn't affect his own learning progress, Su Ming couldn't be bothered to ask.

He lay down in the virtual pod.

Logged into the Angel Network and began studying.

Thanks to his utterly inhuman intelligence and comprehension, Su Ming's learning speed kept skyrocketing. The theories of the spacefaring era were basically complete.

Next came the cutting-edge theories of the god-making era.

That was cutting-edge in the truest sense!

Including the nature of the Dark Plane, the underlying logic of programming languages, the mutual conversion formulas and theoretical models for dark energy and lower-level energies.

The practical application of the observer effect in micro-wormhole technology.

Gene overview, grand unified field theory, the overall model of the Known Universe, the principles of superstring communication, the parallel architecture of divine bodies and Super Genes.

All these things were dazzling and overwhelming.

Like Jerry spotting cheese, Su Ming was so excited he rubbed his hands together frantically.

Mental Imagery Deduction activated at full power.

Memorizing, digesting, and absorbing all proceeded simultaneously.

During the process, Su Ming also attempted to forge a new path distinctly different from the current mainstream theories.

It wasn't that the Angel Civilization's theories were flawed.

Rather...

Su Ming always felt that the Super God Universe had skewed its tech tree.

They went all-in on the genetic ascension route, and as a result, their energy technology was a complete mess.

To accommodate the existing genetic technology and avoid overly violent energy harming themselves, these technological gods burned through stars with downright reckless abandon.

In terms of harm to the universe alone,

even the collectively insane Human Federation from Stellaris would see it and call them experts!

As a future Star-Forging Lord, he couldn't have it all, but at the very least, he shouldn't walk on one leg... Speaking of energy, Su Ming's expression turned odd.

It seems...

Probably...

He had been overlooking one thing all along.

---Seeking Flowers 0---

In terms of individual energy upper limit, his current level of only 472 was a bit pathetic!

So what was he waiting for?

Might as well solve this little problem along the way.

...

Just as Su Ming was immersed in deep learning,

In the asteroid belt on the outer ring of the star system where Planet Feireze was located, the busy Zhixin and Moyi both paused, then exchanged a smile.

"Not bad, quite diligent."

Moyi was quite appreciative of Su Ming's self-motivation.

But her hands didn't slow down.

Program codes, fine as grains of light-sand, flowed like quicksilver, permeating the surrounding asteroids.

Zhixin hovered in the air. The Eye of Insight imbued her autumn-water-like eyes with a sacred and serene glow.

Hearing this, Zhixin sighed softly:

...

"It's a pity. He's not interested in many practical applied technologies. I don't know why he's so fixated on theoretical academics."

"Have you forgotten? He also possesses that miraculous Creation ability."

"I haven't forgotten, Sister Moyi... It's just, if he doesn't focus on practical application, he's bound to suffer greatly when he starts building his own academic system!"

Why is the training period for new angel recruits as long as five hundred years?

The reason lies right here!

If it were purely theoretical study, given the angels' brain development level, even if not matching Su Ming's current state, they could manage it in a few decades.

The difficult part is constructing the academic system!

That's an entire knowledge framework encompassing both theory and practice!

Without this, how could the Angel Civilization, with its handful of warriors, possibly spread the Order of Justice across the stars?

"Hard to say!" Moyi offered a different perspective: "Little Su Su is not only mysterious in origin, but the means by which he intervenes in reality—that miraculous Creation ability—is a super black box unexplainable by current technology!"

"I have reason to suspect that child embarked on a path very different from ours long ago."

"Look!—"

"You see it too. The kid is currently trash-talking our energy utilization efficiency as being too low."

Zhixin's face darkened.
