"This Sage profession talent is quite powerful, but Immunity to Love is a bit strange," Qin Mu Ye thought. Was it trying to tell him not to fall in love?
With this Sage profession, although his attributes did not change, the enhancement from the talents was very real. At least Qin Mu Ye could feel some changes within himself.
If the timing were right, he would have cut himself open to see what had changed. With his tenacious vitality, he could survive such an ordeal.
He could even remove his heart or decapitate himself without dying instantly. Don't ask him how he knew; he had done it before.
Relying on his ability to respawn in his territory after death, he knew he could live for three days without a heart and one day without a head.
So, self-mutilation was no big deal for him. Not long ago, he even tried extracting his bloodline for further experimentation.
Qin Mu Ye was as ruthless to himself as he was to his enemies.
Previously, he had been careful and cautious because he could die. But now that he could respawn, he had no qualms about being ruthless to himself. After all, respawning also came with a slight boost in attributes, even if the weakness period was uncomfortable, making him feel weak and frail.
But the weakness period had its benefits. It made it easier for him to dissect himself, as his body was practically invulnerable to weapons and elements.
So, every time he operated on himself, it took considerable effort.
To further modify himself, he needed to know the various structures and changes in his body. Otherwise, he would be courting death.
He dared to operate on spirits because he knew their body structures and mental states very well. This wasn't just theoretical knowledge; he had to get his hands dirty.
With this experience, he had the idea to operate on himself.
"Unfortunately, Universal Principle didn't trigger. I thought I would gain four more Sage profession talents and enhance four talents."
Qin Mu Ye felt a bit disappointed. If he had gained four more, he might have really taken off.
But then again, he would need to reach level 10 to gain those, not just by obtaining the profession.
"Damn, that means I'm missing out on four?" Qin Mu Ye felt like he had lost out.
But upon reflection, he realized there was no way around it. He wasn't a godlike character who could start with such an epic profession. If he were an ordinary person, he might have to wait until the mid-game to obtain it. He had barely managed to exploit a bug in Lord Era to get it.
In addition to the fifth-day Epic Profession Conversion Voucher, he had also obtained a Magic Continent-exclusive artifact yesterday, the Cursed Armor.
Cursed Armor
Level: Artifact
Attributes:
- During combat, reduces all enemy unit attributes by (Rank × 10%).
- During combat, releases (Rank) random negative debuff spells every minute, with the same spell stacking duration and effects.
- During combat, all negative debuff effects on the enemy are increased by (Rank × Strength) points.
Qin Mu Ye planned to have Yeyu wear the Cursed Armor, as he specialized in this area and only increased his strength attribute.
Of course, Qin Mu Ye could use it as well. With his Sage profession, the strength attribute judgment would be transferred to knowledge, meaning it would be (Rank × Knowledge) rather than (Rank × Strength).
However, the armor was quite heavy, and he was concerned that Yeyu, being a mage-type spirit, might not be able to wear it.
Qin Mu Ye thought for a moment. If Yeyu couldn't wear it, he could arrange for two spirits to help him carry it. After all, he wouldn't need to appear in person; he could just act as a human-shaped monster-slaying machine.
In most cases, Yeyu wouldn't need to wear it; he could just carry it.
Yeyu's physical condition had always been a source of concern for Qin Mu Ye. Most of his abilities and skills were derived from death and curses, and he couldn't escape his frail body, as it was an embodiment of his power.
The opposition between life and death couldn't be easily resolved. He wasn't the protagonist, and neither was Yeyu. They couldn't just easily comprehend the meaning of life and death or the laws of life and death. The Magic Continent didn't deal with such concepts.
The opposition between the living and the dead was extremely severe, and it was already a blessing from Lord Era that Yeyu hadn't died.
If his weak constitution were resolved, Yeyu's talents and skills would likely become obsolete.
So, Qin Mu Ye was a bit troubled and could only deal with it as it was, knowing that Yeyu wouldn't die.
Currently, Yeyu no longer went out with him. Instead, he stayed in the floating city, acting as a mascot and a mage who could release negative statuses. The same went for the curse spirits under his command, providing remote support without leaving the floating city.
"Five days, and they still haven't finished moving everything. The floating city might not be able to hold everything. I need to make them streamline it as soon as possible."
Qin Mu Ye frowned. It seemed like there were a lot of items, but many were duplicates. The quantity was indeed significant, and it would take time to sort through them.
The Black Hand had also consciously started the selection process, but the results hadn't improved much.
After some thought, Qin Mu Ye decided he needed to come up with a plan to resolve the issue, as it depended on him, not the spirits under his command.
Only after he learned the knowledge could the duplicates be discarded.
Otherwise, how could one floating city hold so many items? Although the original area was spacious, moving the laboratory couldn't just involve moving the records without the equipment.
Shouldn't the various design diagrams from the Iron Blood Civilization also include the original copies?
After much deliberation, Qin Mu Ye finally made a simple plan but found that the matter was indeed difficult to resolve.
The technology of the Iron Blood Civilization wasn't like the technology during the first and second reforms of the Wen Kingdom, which mostly fell between steam and electricity and developed relatively slowly. It could serve as a learning foundation, but compared to the Iron Blood Civilization, it was like a small fish before a whale.
Not to mention, there was a huge gap in energy application.
Moreover, a vast interstellar civilization couldn't possibly store all its information in electronic form, even if it did, it wouldn't be comparable to ordinary storage devices.
"However, it's quite peculiar that the Iron Blood Civilization hasn't developed artificial intelligence."
This wasn't just the case with the Iron Blood Civilization; it seemed that other interstellar civilizations hadn't developed it either, or if they did, they were destroyed.
The reason was known: to desecrate the authority of God.
Qin Mu Ye could only express his bewilderment that they had such advanced genetic and biological technologies but would suppress the development of artificial intelligence for such a ridiculous reason.
It wasn't that they hadn't developed it; there had been an AI crisis, which was then crushed by the four major interstellar civilizations. Since then, they had become even more wary.
Perhaps to them, biological weapons created using genetic technology were just puppets, while artificial intelligence could think and evolve, already considered complete life forms.
Thus, they were comprehensively abolished.
However, they didn't completely abandon the idea. There was no fully autonomous and evolving AI, but there was weak AI, used to assist spaceships or experiments. The underlying code was quite cumbersome, as if all possible scenarios were recorded.
In the most clumsy way, they created a slightly more advanced weak AI than a human idiot, but it was still far inferior to a true AI. Compared to Wen Kingdom technology, it was naturally far more advanced.
"I remember I have an AI in my resource repository." Qin Mu Ye couldn't help but think of the genie from Aladdin's lamp.
