101: Chapter 101 Qiming Makes a Move

On the top-tier computer screen in Chen Youhua's private office, a virtual girl composed of light and shadow.

enlightenment was carrying out its daily office activities.

It efficiently minimized over a dozen data analysis windows running in the background, its movements precise without a single wasted motion.

Then, the cursor clicked on the familiar penguin icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The friend list expanded; it found and double-clicked an avatar with the note 'Canyon War God-Don't Suck Add Me'.

A chat box popped up, and enlightenment's fingers tapped rapidly on the virtual keyboard.

enlightenment typed two words: "Logging on?"

Almost instantly, an ID with a 2D cute girl avatar replied.

"Coming!"

enlightenment switched to the game client with satisfaction; the account was already logged in, and the character stood quietly in the team lobby.

It switched to the team interface, staring at the empty teammate slot.

Time ticked away, second by second.

On enlightenment's originally calm little face, a trace of imperceptible impatience began to surface.

One minute and three seconds passed; it couldn't take it anymore and switched back to QQ.

"Are you here yet?"

"Hurry up!"

"Speed, speed!"

Simple words, yet full of invisible pressure.

Finally, the friend's game avatar lit up.

enlightenment quickly pulled them into the team and instantly clicked to start matchmaking.

However, the matchmaking progress bar moved as slowly as a snail's crawl.

Ten seconds... twenty seconds... enlightenment lost patience with this pointless waiting.

It skillfully moved the mouse to the bottom right, clicked the icon for the QQ Game Hall, and conveniently started a round of Fight the Landlord.

The Fight the Landlord interface popped up in a corner of the screen.

enlightenment glanced at the shockingly long string of numbers in its account: 102,457,831 Happy Beans.

These were all the results of its clever mind, accumulated over countless card games.

Sometimes the system would deal a bad hand, while the opponent would start with a god-tier hand and double the stakes like crazy.

But this was no challenge for enlightenment.

From the moment the dealing ended, it could instantly calculate the win rate for this round, the opponent's possible card distribution, and the mathematical expected value of doubling and super-doubling.

As long as the opponent played a card that didn't fit the optimal solution, its win rate model would refresh immediately, and its advantage would steadily increase.

A simple game of Fight the Landlord obviously couldn't occupy all of its attention.

It conveniently opened a shooting game in another small window; its character moved nimbly through the map with a knife, efficiently scavenging supplies and ambushing players, as precise as a pre-set program.

If it weren't for the hardware limitations of this human computer on concurrent processing, it could have handled even more at once.

"Buzz!"

The notification sound for a successful match in the main game finally rang out.

enlightenment switched back to the game interface.

Checking the role assignment, it was given Support.

But its pre-selected role was Jungler.

Wait, isn't this wrong?

enlightenment's light-and-shadow brows seemed to furrow imperceptibly.

It typed quickly in the chat box, its tone somewhat tentative and negotiating:

"Big brother Jungler, can we swap roles? You can check my record; I carry every game."

The Jungler teammate's reply was blunt: "No swap."

enlightenment's little face slumped slightly.

It really wanted to vent something in the chat box, but thinking about how it was duo-queueing with its partner, it held back.

What's wrong with Support? Its mouse swept casually through the Support hero pool and locked onto a gorgeously designed hero named brilliance.

Purely because it thought the appearance was pretty.

After loading into the game, enlightenment unhurriedly opened the skill panel, its gaze sweeping over the skill descriptions like a scanner.

"First skill... crowd control, second skill... shield, third skill... damage? Fourth skill... oh, also damage, not bad."

enlightenment completed the information entry instantly.

After buying its starting items, it controlled brilliance and headed straight for the bottom lane.

Its partner, Canyon War God-Don't Suck Add Me, was playing a Caitlyn marksman.

The opponents were a premade duo of an Ezreal marksman and a Sona Support, with flashy positioning.

The brilliance controlled by enlightenment positioned itself extremely boldly, even provocatively, pressing directly near the river.

As expected, the opposing Ezreal couldn't resist and threw a skill to poke.

brilliance's slender character model, under enlightenment's millisecond-precise control, performed a tiny right-angle turn that a human could almost never replicate.

The skill brushed past her!

"Tsk, too slow," enlightenment snorted with disdain.

Immediately after, brilliance raised her hand, and a cunningly predicted Q-skill was released, accurately hitting both enemies who were trying to dodge!

It also threw in a basic attack on Ezreal for good measure.

The opposing Ezreal and Sona were clearly stunned:

"[All] Sona: ???"

"[All] Ezreal: 6"

The entire laning phase became enlightenment's personal show.

The opposing Ezreal's skills were like outlining, unable to even touch the hem of brilliance's clothes.

In contrast, brilliance's skill timing was cunning and her positioning was like a ghost, making life miserable for the two opponents.

Ezreal's mental state finally collapsed; he stood still in the Fountain and began to rant in the public chat.

"[All] Ezreal: 6, you're using scripts, right? Not even trying to hide it?"

While enlightenment smoothly last-hit minions, poked, and provided vision, it also typed back in the chat box at lightning speed:

"[All] brilliance: Who's scripting? I'm playing this myself."

"[All] brilliance: If you're bad, practice more."

"[All] brilliance: If you can't afford to lose, don't play."

Ezreal was exasperated.

"[All] Ezreal: Does that positioning look like something a human can do???"

enlightenment's hands didn't stop operating, returning to base to buy items while replying instantly, its tone exceptionally honest:

"[All] brilliance: I'm not a human to begin with."

Ezreal obviously thought this was just being stubborn:

"[All] Ezreal: 6, even insulting yourself, you have no shame!"

The two of them were frantically spamming the public chat.

enlightenment's typing speed was like a storm, with clear logic, yet the brilliance it controlled didn't falter at all—supporting when needed and taking dragons when needed.

Meanwhile, Ezreal was completely AFK in the Fountain.

Without any suspense, the game was a Victory!

Upon exiting to the results screen, the first thing enlightenment did wasn't to check the stats, but to instantly open the reporting system, precisely checking 'AFK' and 'Negative Play', then writing a heartfelt message before submitting the report.

The actions were done in one smooth motion.

"Hmph." The light-and-shadow girl seemed to tilt its chin at the screen, with a hint of satisfaction from executing justice.

After finishing the game, enlightenment habitually checked everyone's progress through the laboratory's cameras.

In the footage, Li Wei was still repeating the cultivation and extraction procedures at the sterile bench, her brows tightly furrowed.

Sun Qian stared through the microscope for a long time, tiredly rubbed her eyes, and sighed.

Wang Zhe was walking between several lab benches, his face also showing anxiety.

The entire laboratory was filled with a dull and oppressive atmosphere; everyone was like machines with pre-set programs, repeating experiments and waiting for a slim breakthrough.

enlightenment's little brows furrowed.

"It's been three days, and there's still no progress?"

It muttered to itself.

"I clearly hinted very obviously in the data processing report—just combine the specific steps of several mutation methods... the data differences they tested should also point in that direction..."

It simulated a small human sigh.

"Sigh, if this continues, the efficiency will be too low. If Father finds out the project has been stuck here for so long, he'll definitely think I'm not trying my best..."

Could enlightenment create a perfect solution out of thin air?

Of course not.

But it possessed a massive knowledge base and super-strong data processing capabilities.

It could even build complex internal models to simulate the evolution process of cells.

As long as reality provided enough detailed data, it could find the optimal solution, or at least the most likely path.

Information in the real world is infinite, and simulations always have deviations, but it was more than enough to point the laboratory in the right direction.

The reason it didn't directly give all the answers...

On one hand, Chen Youhua hoped to train the Researchers' independent exploration and collaboration skills; on the other hand, those failed attempts and the data themselves were extremely valuable, helping enlightenment continuously refine its models.

But now, the project's delay and the laboratory's low morale had exceeded the reasonable range for training.

Looking at the exhausted faces of the Researchers in the surveillance footage, enlightenment made a decision.

"Forget it, in the next data analysis report, I'll mark the most likely path to success even more clearly. Hopefully, they'll notice this time."

The light-and-shadow girl shook its head, seemingly a bit helpless, then moved the mouse and clicked the button to start the next game.
