Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Terminal felt real fear for the first time in a long time.

This is the world in the book that it opens most often - it has opened this book many times, and it has never had any problems.

Each time, it would first create a Zerg invasion, and then use this invasion as a threat to lure the top leaders of this civilization into transactions.

Despair breeds unbridled fear and quietly fuels ambition and greed.

Different paths lead to the same destination, and in every chosen world, no matter how many twists and turns there are in the middle, the same ending can always be achieved.

The civilization will agree to the deal and choose to evolve.

Most of the residents living in this civilization will be judged as useless and abandoned completely, while the other part will become a necessary price in the transaction.

The few who survive in the end have a chance to usher in a new evolved civilization.

They thought they had ushered in a new civilization.

…

"I've been wondering, what is the purpose of you going to such great lengths to deal with humans?"

Yu Tang imported Wen Er's ID and opened the terminal as an administrator: "You have weaved a very big web, but why did you weave this web?"

"Host, host." The system hid behind Yu Tang and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it for the card library?"

"This reason can convince the program, but it is difficult to completely convince humans."

Yu Tang: "Terminal loves Chuan Bookstore and regards Chuan Bookstore as its home. He is willing to contribute to Chuan Bookstore throughout his life and enrich the inventory of the card library as his lifelong mission."

system:"……"

"The card library belongs to the bookstore, not yours."

Yu Tang tapped the screen: "What are you doing for?"

The terminal returned to silence once again.

The air was so quiet that it was almost stagnant, with no fluctuations to be found, as if it had not heard Yu Tang's extremely offensive question at all.

Yu Tang was not prepared to listen to its answer and continued to follow his own train of thought.

"You obviously have the ability to directly let the insect swarm destroy this interstellar area, or directly completely strip away the dimensions of the entire world - but you must go around in such a big circle to lure humans to trade with you."

"Compared to this civilization, the dimension and plane you are in is almost a god."

Yu Tang: "But there is a common sense that there is no need for gods to make deals with humans, because gods can directly plunder everything from humans."

"Even with the restrictions of the bookstore's rules, your database is enough to directly copy and simulate anything you want."

Amidst the crisp and clear tapping sound of the keyboard, Yu Tang continued speaking unhurriedly.

"What exactly do you want?"

"Is there anything else that you can't get in your higher dimension, and the data can't be plundered or simulated?"

"I thought about it for a long time and finally got an answer——"

Before he could finish his words, the computer closest to him suddenly exploded out of thin air, and sharp glass shards pierced Yu Tang's throat.

Brilliant auroras emerged out of thin air.

Before the explosion's aftermath and glass fragments could get closer, they were swallowed up by the emerging aurora and disintegrated into miniature particle hurricanes.

"Calm down." Yu Tang hit Enter, "You can't kill Electronic Storm with broken glass."

The iron-gray color of the screen became darker and darker, and the invisible waves of rage could no longer be suppressed and spread slowly in the space.

The terminal's cold gaze almost pierced Yu Tang's back.

If it were on the plane of Chuan Shuju, it wouldn't have to use these clumsy methods that were almost at the end of its rope to teach this young electronic storm a real lesson.

But it happened to be trapped in this lower plane, and was forcibly stuffed into a shabby desktop computer with extremely low capacity and running speed!

If it hadn’t taken the risk to choose this book, if it hadn’t had to appear at the last level——

Yu Tang asked: "Why did you have to choose this book?"

The data operation of the terminal suddenly stopped.

"There is no coincidence in data deduction. Behind all results are countless butterflies flapping their wings."

Yu Tang said: "You must have your reasons for choosing this book and taking the risk to become the final boss of this game yourself."

"Why do you have to come forward in person? Why does it have to be an electronic storm? Even if you can't catch it, you still have to make one yourself?"

Yu Tang seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be completely rearranging his thoughts.He curled his index finger and tapped the table gently, and then raised his eyes again after a few seconds.

"I figured it out."

Yu Tang leaned back in his chair and looked at the dead screen: "Have you calculated your chances of success?"

…

For the first time, the terminal sensed a fatal crisis.

This sense of crisis is so strong that no data is even needed to deduce it.

The terminal no longer wanted to be involved in this over-evolved electronic storm. It endured the chaos caused by the self-attack of the defense system and forcibly suppressed all data fluctuations.

…Just give it a few more minutes.

As long as there are a few more minutes, the terminal can completely invade the network system of this scientific research institute, take the entire scientific research institute as its own, and further devour the online world of this plane.

If it wasn't too afraid of the electronic storm in front of it, it would have been able to complete this step long ago. If it weren't for this group of traitors in the electronic storm that were domesticated by humans -

Yu Tang tilted his head slightly: "Traitor?"

The data on the terminal is completely frozen.

"You think too loudly." Yu Tang said, "It's very noisy."

The terminal kept a close eye on Yu Tang through the surveillance camera.

It seemed that it had finally fully realized a certain possibility, and it was trying to swallow up the data of the scientific research institute at all costs. It suddenly stopped, and the sound of the machine's operation seemed to disappear in a certain space in an instant.

The entire computer room became completely silent.

Everything seemed to be sucked into a still void.

"You're wondering how I can hear your thoughts, aren't you?"

Yu Tang said: "We can do it, but you forgot."

Yu Tang: "After you learned to strengthen your power through devouring, learned about greed and ambition, and were captured into Chuan Bookstore to be in charge of the terminal, you forgot about it."

"Putting Senior Zhan in charge of Chuan Bookstore's mall is not a reward you gave him, but an order from the 'monitoring program' that runs completely automatically. You used it as a favor."

Yu Tang: "Are you wondering why there are so many data from the supervision department, but only Senior Zhan was transferred to be the person in charge of the mall?"

"Shut up." The mechanical voice of the terminal sounded more and more distorted, "Shut up, shut up, shut up..."

Countless sounds overlapped and turned into a strange, sharp whine that sounded like some kind of metallic vibration.

"Because Senior Zhan sent the core data into the eye of the storm, his overall data has also changed."

"The dean is just a cover. The real person in charge of the recycling bin is Feng Qing's field - this is not a coincidence. The person in charge of every department in Chuan Bookstore all originated from the electronic storm."

Yu Tang: "Electronic storms can increase their strength through devouring, but the act of 'devouring' itself will change our composition."

Particle-level civilizations were born in the depths of the universe. They do not belong to any dimension or plane. They were originally the freest existences.

"In human research, we and black holes are two extremes."

"We may have been born from a distant Big Bang or the death of a neutron star," Yu Tang said.

"Our particles are the most dense and stable matter in the universe. I read the magazine sent by Luo Ran. The name given by humans is a bit strange. They call it strange quark."

"We will fuse and absorb all the materials we come into contact with and become a part of us. We can do this naturally. We originally cannot shine, and dimensions cannot restrain us. We can go wherever we want."

"We glow because we are not stable enough in that state, and particles collide and annihilate."

Yu Tang: "We are bound because we swallowed things we shouldn't."

…

Such as humans.

The dimensions of this world are very low, and the level of civilization development is not high. The residents living in this interstellar world are too weak and can easily be stripped of dimensions, swallowed up particles, and even modify the "existence" itself.

But there is only one thing, neither the electronic storm nor the data traveling through the bookstore can be generated, simulated or created.

"They have a very special energy that is not at the physical level, does not rely on electronic interaction, and cannot be explained from a purely scientific perspective."

Yu Tang said: "Life."

After devouring the evil-filled laboratory and devouring Wen You's mentor, Yu Tang noticed changes in himself.

Human life is too heavy, so heavy that he can no longer turn back into a small ball of light running around at will, and can no longer fold and shuttle dimensions at will. It is so heavy that he once thought that he had really become a human being.

...He once wanted to become human.

He once nestled in a pile of pillows, comfortably drank milk and ate cookies, played games on his tablet, and firmly believed that he was a human being.

It was because of such fragments of unknown origin that he left the eye of the storm with the flyer from the bookstore that was smeared on his face.

"I just caused a person to be annihilated in the electronic storm, and he was trapped for so long."

Yu Tang asked the terminal: "What about you, how many people have you devoured?"

The terminal did not answer his words, and the computer room remained eerily silent.

"The reason why you chose this book to be the boss yourself is not just because of the rules of the bookstore, you must appear in person."

Yu Tang said: "Because you want to take the opportunity to escape."

In stories about dragons and warriors, the dragon must show up at the end. This is a rule that must be followed in storytelling, but the rules do not stipulate that the dragon must win.

The evil dragon can also swallow the bewitched warrior and return to the dark cave to continue sleeping.

The evil dragon can also capture the warrior and turn the warrior into a new evil dragon.

Terminal is looking for a new dragon to replace itself.

"You swallowed too many particles and stayed for too long. You have forgotten what you are. You only remember that you are a terminal and you have been trapped in the Bookstore for a long time."

"You thought you had enough energy to escape, so you kept reusing the book."

Yu Tang's palms surged with aurora: "You're wondering why you can't run away even though you've accumulated so much energy, aren't you?"

Yu Tang: "You speculate that maybe you have to find a successor - you stole my particles and tried to make one, but the success rate is too low."

"So you just decided to capture me."

Yu Tang: "You want to catch me and let me be the terminal instead of you."

Only particle-level civilization has enough ability to serve as the manager of Chuan Bookstore.

That's why Terminal must catch Electronic Storm, so when he found out that they had replaced Feng Qing's world with the Director of the Secret Service, Terminal would be furious.

The terminal no longer remembers what it is. It has never thought about this problem and has never dared to think about it. It is just frantically looking for ghosts and putting the multiple-choice question of warriors and dragons in front of everyone again and again.

It only remembers that if it wants to be free, it must find a new electronic storm.

"Don't you like this world very much?"

The voice of the terminal rang in a low voice. It seemed that it had not heard what Yu Tang said before. The hoarse and hoarse mechanical voice kept seeping into people's minds: "This world has been registered in Chuan Bookstore, and it is No. 1024."world."

"As long as no one is in charge of the terminal, Chuan Bookstore will automatically determine the fault and completely format all lower-level worlds."

The mechanical sound of the terminal is like cold venom: "You come to replace me, come to replace me... Aren't you going to save this world?"

"Everything about me is the same. Either let me go or destroy me... You need another terminal to pass through the bookstore."

"If you don't do this, the world will be formatted."

The terminal called him lowly, and the voice gradually became clearer through the eye of the storm: "You come to replace me, you come to devour me."

Its database is gradually disintegrating under the attack of the defense system. The mechanical sound screams in pain, but is filled with vicious pleasure.

"As long as I start the self-destruct program now, the error reporting system of Chuan Bookstore will be triggered, and everything in this world will be formatted..."

The terminal asked: "Don't you like this world and want to protect it?"

The system was a little uneasy, and pressed closely against Yu Tang, gripping his clothes hard: "Host, host."

Replacing the terminal with the new terminal seemed like the most direct way to solve the problem, but the system was instinctively terrified to death.

To become a terminal means to be permanently separated from all stories - even if you get through the bookstore's loopholes and write yourself a book, the terminal still cannot experience any storyline and can only hide in the last level., looking for an equally cold identity.

The terminal cannot have its own story, it must be an eternal bystander, because a book must have people who turn the pages.

The world has become a book, and there are 1024 such books in the bookstore.

The job of the terminal is to turn the pages of the book.

...If the host becomes a new terminal, will it still be the host it is familiar with?

The system tugged on Yu Tang's clothes and turned around anxiously: "Mr. Zhan——"

The system stared blankly, unconsciously stunned for a moment, and then belatedly realized that Zhan Chen was no longer in the computer room.

Now is the most critical time. The system did not expect Zhan Chen to leave at this time. It was so anxious that it was about to jump down to look for it, but Yu Tang had already given the answer.

"I refuse." Yu Tang said, "You can start it if you want."

The terminal was shocked and angry: "You——"

Yu Tang crossed his arms and leaned back into his chair.

The terminal finally realized something was wrong. Its attention was completely attracted by Yu Tang, and it didn't realize that only Yu Tang was left in the computer room: "Where are they?! Where have they gone? What other plots do you have -—”

"I'll stay and chat with you to keep you in check so that you don't go back to report the news." Yu Tang said, "Senior, they are going to do their business."

Yu Tang: "Have you never thought about it? Who captured you and put you in charge of the terminal?"

The terminal is stuck.

"Do you think you are the evil dragon, the mastermind behind the scenes, and the key to breaking the situation?"

Yu Tang stood up and patted the gray screen: "Why have you never thought that maybe you are also a 'ghost'?"
