The Intelligent Brain Marketplace was bustling, and people lined up one after another.
The three of them were also in line.
Li Feng shouted, "Look, isnât that Li Chengshan? Heâs queuing too."
Zou Anmeng showed a look of envy, "So nice, VIP access, straight inside."
"Donât be envious." Li Feng was all smiles, "Our little Angelâs Intelligent Brain can be exchanged for a second-tier Butterfly Race Intelligent Brain. From now on, the second-tier Intelligent Brain we jointly bought earlier will be left to you, Liu Jun!"
Zou Anmeng laughed, "All three of us will have second-tier Intelligent Brains."
Liu Jun didnât have an Angelâs Intelligent Brain and was just accompanying them to queue. These two kept comforting him, telling him not to worry about missing the opportunity.
However.
He himself actually didnât mind this.
Liu Jun looked at the crowded queue, feeling a bit emotional.
Have I truly taken the first step in this world?
Previously, the evolving historical myths didnât effectively materialize.
Essentially, they didnât bring me any tangible value.
But now, a true academic faction has emerged, representing my establishment in this world.
Of course, there are multitudes of reading schools under heaven, each faction having their classic books.
My faction is just beginning its journey.
The objectives ahead are clear: establish influence with this emerging reading faction, gather followers widely, cultivate our practice, and pass on our teachings.
"Then use this faction as a springboard to collect sand, metals, and various resources to create a real Sand Table World!"
"And by the way, have a look at the world beyond Rehe City!"
Liu Jun silently raised his head, looking at a towering building in the distance.
It was a gigantic tree, under construction in the center of this city.
A Divine Hall welcoming the advent of the ancient Longevity Divine Spirit.
The speed of construction in this world is unimaginably fast.
"Rehe City is a cocoon of information."
"We have no wars here, so we rarely see mecha or mechanized machinery."
"After all, itâs Academy City, with more than 90% being students. I heard other top companies also have similar charity cities to nurture talent."
"Itâs just that we have acid rain here; people elsewhere receive other forms of student aid."
Liu Jun heard.
The Langya Spirit Child next door, the students there study Spiritual Ability Academic.
With not even a normal body, they have to enter the principalâs "Soul-Calling Banner" for cultivation.
They are pure spirit bodies, studying at the Sea of Consciousness Academy where âPublic Intelligent Brainsâ converge.
How do spirit bodies make money? They usually work part-time as online after-sales service for various Intelligent Brain products, NPCs in online games, and virtual store guides.
At least we just get rained on; over there, itâs very unique.
If you donât break through a certain realm, you wonât have a chance to reshape your body and return to reality.
"Other factions?" Liu Jun pondered.
This vast land holds a history similar to Blue Star.
But its size is immensely grand.
The Top Ten Companies equate to the ten most powerful Confucian factions, alongside various concealed evil reading factions.
...
Li Chengshan sprinted all the way home, delightedly starting to read.
Just like people of the old days discovering updates to certain dramas or films.
Mysterious anticipation, filled to the brim.
Read, read, read!
He took off his shoes, jumped onto the bed, rubbing his dark circles.
"From today, Refrain!"
He logged into the book "Wisdom Disaster", and a screen quickly appeared before him.
[Single Player]
[LAN]
In this era, readers naturally read e-books.
Some books come with a LAN option, allowing you to invite friends to read together.
Back in the day, the fairy tale book "Amber Swallowtail Butterfly", Liu Jun, Li Feng, and Zou Anmeng often entered together to read and play, it was their childhood memory.
He thought for a moment and still chose [LAN]
Calling his gang of friends, entering the spiritual world of this Intelligent Brain.
Upon entry, they found themselves on a tree.
The Prophet was set as a fixed image, non-interactive; if attacked, the Prophet would lead to failure.
What they had to do was to weave knots into life, defending against waves of stronger foes.
"Is this the mythical tree from the prehistoric Jurassic? So beautiful!"
"The dense blackness below, are those the lunatics infected? Full of oppressive might!"
"Guess we can only move on the Cangwu Tree?"
"Well, itâs just so: the area of second-tier books isnât large, generally restricting free movement."
He read a lot, absorbed plenty of past life memories, and quickly started, diving into the study of weaving life.
He previously only heard about it; when actually doing it, he indeed noticed the unique traits of the Butterfly Race:
Transforming through Cocooning!
What they wish to morph into, they will morph into!
He and friends opted against entering story mode, instead starting in weaving mode, creating various creatures, studying knot work.
Bow knot.
Long cloud knot.
Flower knot.
Their minds were sharp, memorizing vast amounts of knot weaving information, they began weaving, soon starting to fend off waves of attacking enemies.
Thrilling, immensely thrilling.
Even for him, a boy not fond of weaving dollies, it felt exhilarating!
In girlsâ eyes, itâs a doll; in boysâ eyes, itâs a woven Gundam!
Play once.
Play once more.
Unknowingly, the night passed by.
Surprisingly, a niche single-player book had a wave ranking set.
Opening his eyes.
A top-ranking expert reached 76 waves.
Terrifying!
He was only on the seventh wave.
"Next, itâs about crafting various types of troops to coordinate, long range, melee, tank... This auto-chess has infinite possibilities!"
In the morning, Li Chengshan let out a long breath, showing a hint of anticipation: "This book will certainly spread, becoming one of the must-reads of second-tier books!"
"This faction is incredible!"
Since he was fairly well-off, he read many factionsâ books.
This faction here has distinct features and ancient mythological overtones; itâs destined to become popular.
At that moment.
His evil faction contacted him secretly.
"What beauties did you weave out overnight?"
Li Chengshan was stupefied: ???
What are you saying, you can play like this?
Everyone weaves troop defenses, and youâre weaving a beautiful girl army?
The contact continued: "The third-tier book âWater and Fire Disasterâ opens a new world for our Divine Sect, itâs so shocking, we witnessed the birth of ancient myth, male and female! Thereâs so much potential in the culmination of that book."
"Our Saints are greatly impressed, already hastily working on pirating the water brain, releasing our âWater and Fire Disasterâ heavily enhanced version!"
"Although we need to seize a third-tier Intelligent Brain production line to produce this enhanced version, for our lofty ideals, our Saints decided to take the risk! This is a dream more important than death!"
Li Chengshan: Huh?
Different people see different truths when reading.
The lecherous see the book in colors.
These people wouldnât fear death for lust.
Attempting to seize a third-tier Intelligent Brain production line? How dare they?
The contact said: "You donât understand! Some dreams matter more than life! Producing this book, we wouldnât regret dying!"
Li Chengshan suddenly felt motivated.
For dreams, like moths to a flame, itâs the great spirit of the Butterfly Race.
He felt a pang of distress.
Indeed, back in ancient times, though there was a bad reputation for our Joyful Union Sect, being hunted by various Great Scholar factions, it wasnât like it is now.
Now, we must release student-targeted books online, tricking the youngsters into joining our Divine Sect.
His contact said:
"But we need to seize a third-tier Intelligent Brain production line?"
How dare they do this?
The contact replied: "But some dreams are worth more than just staying alive! Only by producing this book will we die without regret!"
Li Chengshan said: "Huh?"
Different people read books and get different insights.
Suddenly, he felt inspired.
Yes, butterflies fly into the flame for their dreams; this is the great spirit of the Butterfly Race.
But in ancient times, even though such fanaticism gave Joyful Union Sect a bad name and made them hunted by every Great Scholar faction, it wasnât as tragic as now.
These days, we just try to lure young boys online into our Divine Sect through some books.
The contact:
"But this book set opens up a new world for our Divine Sect, itâs incredible.
We have witnessed ancient mythology, the birth of male and female!
Although we need to risk grabbing a third-tier Intelligent Brain production line to produce this enhanced version, for our noble dreams, our saints decided to take the chance!"
"Some dreams are more important than life itself!"
Li Chengshan shut off communications, feeling a shiver down his spine.
Heâs done for.
He overhyped himself just now.
Might as well take the initiative with the campus beauty instead.
I must accomplish something to show the great ones that their nurturing has not been in vain.
And that Xu Changsheng...
