Chapter 368: 5th Tier Intelligent Magic - Magic Network
Chapter 368: 5th Tier Intelligent Magic - Magic Network
"Shiver~" Qin Muye shivered, feeling as if a cold wind had blown over him.
But the problem was that he hadn't felt any wind, and with his physical condition, how could a mere breeze make him shiver?
So there must be something he didn't know about, and he noticed that the intuition his Bloodline Surge talent had given him seemed to have failed.
It wasn't that it had failed due to a blow, but rather that it had been overloaded with too many outcomes, causing it to malfunction.
"So, what exactly is going on?"
He wanted to take it to heart, but he was completely in the dark, not even knowing what the issue was.
"Black Hand, notify everyone. We have one month to deal with the insect nest planet and end the insect invasion crisis!" Qin Muye decisively issued the command in the Magic Network.
What else could he do? They could only take it one step at a time.
"Master, this may not be easy. The insect nest planet is too large, and we cannot—" Black Hand explained in the Magic Network, emphasizing that the sheer size alone made it difficult to handle.
"Abandon the insect nest planet. Use the information provided by the Brain Bug to retrieve useful items, then destroy the rest!" A sense of urgency arose in Qin Muye's heart.
He felt that this breach in the world barrier might have brought some immeasurable loss to the entire Sorcerer Dynasty server, or possibly something else had come through.
He hadn't thought about it before, so he had been carefree. But now that his intuition had malfunctioned, it indicated that something was blocking his intuition, causing it to fail.
So, they could only abandon the insect nest planet. Of course, the insect nest planet wasn't a complete world. It had some technological value, but that wasn't the main focus.
The true value was already in his hands: the Brain Bug and the Insect Queen.
"Yes, Master. I will ensure the entire insect nest planet is cleared within a month." Black Hand, having received the order, naturally proceeded to execute it.
Previously, Qin Muye had required the protection of the insect nest planet, intending to use it for consumption. To clean it up, they would have to do a thorough sweep, which meant the sprites would have to wear Gargoyle-level armor and clear it slowly. Due to the structure of the insect nest planet, only the surface could accommodate Magic Golem-level mechs; deeper inside was impossible.
After all, ten-thousand-meter mechs couldn't just drill into the ground; the tunnels would need to be tall enough.
But now, things were different. They could send in the vanguard, retrieve the items, and then destroy it with firepower. This would be much easier, especially with the support of the Endless Abyss. A month was slow; with the current technological level of the territory, half a month would be enough.
The insect nest planet was merely comparable to a world, not a true world. Although it could break the world barrier, it was vastly inferior to a true world in terms of strength.
Size didn't equate to power.
With Black Hand's assurance, Qin Muye sighed in relief. He knew that Black Hand wouldn't make empty promises; if he said he could do it, he could, and if he couldn't, he would refuse immediately.
The entire Endless Abyss was mobilized, and Qin Muye could feel the energy flowing through the Magic Network at a much faster rate.
Clearly, a total attack on the insect nest planet had already been launched.
He didn't idle either. After further improving the new Magic Network and gathering enough test data, he quickly made further improvements.
Combining Aether Energy and the insect nest's neural network, the new Magic Network was directly upgraded.
[Your 3rd Tier Intelligent Magic: Magic Network has advanced to 5th Tier Intelligent Magic: Magic Network]
The Magic Network was rated as the highest level in the Magic Continent, though there were still Forbidden Spells, he didn't care about that.
Compared to the sprites' advancement, the update of the Magic Network was much faster. As long as the sprites were connected, the update would be downloaded and installed, consuming a bit of magic power.
However, the amount of magic power was indeed significant, given the large number of sprites. Even a small amount would result in a massive expenditure of magic power.
Fortunately, the expenditure was worth it. Qin Muye could sense the birth of the new network, and by utilizing the computational power of the individual servers of the sprites, he formed a new cloud server.
This cloud server could accelerate research, learning, and other tasks for Qin Muye.
"Is this the feeling of being a Brain Bug?"
If the previous Magic Network was a magical network, then now it was a mental network, a soul network, a thought network, and more. Qin Muye could mobilize far more resources.
However, he did not take all the computational power from the individual servers of the sprites. Just 1% from each sprite, with their vast numbers, could converge into a massive cloud computing network.
Combined with his own knowledge attributes and talents, his thinking and logic operated much faster, giving him a feeling like upgrading from a three-wheeler to a supercar.
Some experimental projects in his mind were quickly completed, and he even discovered a large number of small bugs in the Magic Network. The repair work was naturally swift, and he could apply patches directly after improvements.
"Next is the research on the Insect Queen. I need to quickly unlock the genetic locks left by the insect race on her. Once I obtain the insect gene bank, 7th Tier sprites will be able to compensate for their attribute deficiencies."
Although 6th Tier sprites have high attributes, most of these attributes come from their skills rather than their innate strength.
Qin Muye had the Engineer Civilization, the Iron Blood Civilization, and the Pioneer Civilization at his disposal. Although he didn't have the Arachnid Insects, the Psionic Insects were sufficient as a substitute.
Combining the advantages of several civilizations, the sprites he created would be on par with the Titan Gods.
They might not be able to surpass their tier, but their foundations would be solid.
"Unfortunately, the Insect Queen is too strong to be studied on a surgical table. I can only do it in the prison, but at least the efficiency is still good, or it would be a headache."
"Regarding the Brain Bug, have Black Hand find someone to kill it and preserve the body to prevent it from losing its vitality."
Qin Muye arrived at the prison and immediately began his research on the Insect Queen.
To be honest, the first time he saw the Insect Queen, he thought he was looking at a grotesque version of an Alien Queen. They looked incredibly similar, but upon closer inspection, there were significant differences.
He wasn't sure if it was convergent evolution or just a lazy model change, but it didn't matter much to him. What he needed to do now was to decrypt the gene bank on her body and unlock it.
The research went smoothly, with no resistance or self-destruction. After all, Qin Muye was only taking samples, not performing a full dissection.
And the Insect Queen was not as special as the Brain Bug.
"Master, the Spirit Realm has undergone subtle changes, and the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion seem to have disappeared. We can't contact them."
Black Hand suddenly sent this information to Qin Muye. At first glance, it seemed like a minor issue, but upon deeper thought, Qin Muye realized it was significant. He asked, "Do you have any leads?"
After asking, he opened the document detailing the changes in the Spirit Realm. If there were changes, there must be records, or there would be no basis for the claim.
"The overall energy environment is rising, and minor demons are dissipating?" Qin Muye furrowed his brow.
"I can understand the rise in the energy environment, given the recent turmoil in the Great Abyss Dynasty. As a composite subspace of emotions and desires, it is bound to be affected. However, the dissipation of minor demons is problematic, especially with the disappearance of the three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. They can't just disappear."
These minor demons, formed from emotions and desires, cannot dissipate. The three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion are equally indestructible.
After all, while these entities are living beings, they are highly enigmatic. Qin Muye had studied them and found that they are essentially emotional garbage bins for the entire Great Abyss. Therefore, unless everyone dies, these demons will not disappear.
"Currently, there are no effective leads. The three demons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion were in regular contact with us. I suspect they may have found something valuable that could be detrimental to us," Black Hand said.
"Stay alert. Quickly resolve the insect nest planet issue, and ask Ji Shan if he has any discoveries. He has been studying the Spirit Realm recently, so he might know something," Qin Muye decided. There was no point in abandoning the major strategy to search for the missing three demons. Who knew what had happened to them? It could be good or bad, but he needed to focus on the immediate task.
"Yes, Master, I will take care of it immediately," Black Hand responded and hurried to make the necessary arrangements.
