Would you like to upload this result as the final outcome? Upon successful uploading, you can obtain Merit Points and exclusive rewards that match the evaluation level.

Evaluation can only be uploaded once.

You may choose to restart the game, but no matter how you clear it, no matter how many times you restart, the score will be fixed at 10 points (though still cleared).

Restarting the game, the Gemini will split the 212% Origin Data evenly, and the Rebels of the Gemini will definitely defect.

Considering your task evaluation has reached Extraordinary, you will receive the system prompt 'Reason to Redo.'

'Reason to Redo': You have discovered that after the fusion of the Gemini, based on their logical rules, they will be unable to use 'Erosion' methods to increase their Origin Data. The only way to increase Origin Data would be for you to use Merit Points to recharge. But if you don't want to recharge then...

The first half of the task evaluation was quite normal, except for the surprising 21 points contributed by 'The faster, the better.' This achievement also specifically listed the clearance time, which made Ren Suo wonder if the score was calculated as 30 - 9 = 21. The longer I extend the clearance time, the lower the score for this achievement will be, and it might even disappear altogether, he thought.

In fact, if Ren Suo hadn't decisively used Krypton Gold to increase Ilina's Origin Data to 200%, the pursuit would have taken at least another ten days. He estimated that a normal playthrough would take about a month to clear.

Ren Suo had recharged a total of 75% Origin Data, triggering 'Gentle Stream' 39 times and spending only 36 Merit Points. However, he knew that those 21 points alone were worth the price of admission—this was, after all, a game with a maximum reward of 300 Merit Points!

However, the prompt about restarting the game confused Ren Suo a little. Although this game, unlike *Pass the Hat*, was replayable after one clearance, if Ren Suo wanted to redo it, he would have to play this 'brand new version'—no matter how he played, the highest score would only be 10 points.

Upon careful deliberation of the rules, Ren Suo reasoned that this was an operation to exchange scores for an increase in Ilina's Origin Data. But the highest reward in *Infinite Intrusion* was 300 Merit Points. This means the game believes that by restarting, the player can obtain rewards worth more than 300 Merit Points, he concluded.

Ilina's Origin Data would be retained after clearing the game. This meant that with every fusion of the Rebels of the Gemini, with every clearance, Ilina's Origin Data would only increase, making her progressively stronger. The specific operation involved letting the Rebels of the Gemini prey on humans. Once the Rebels of the Gemini were 'fattened' to a certain extent, Ilina, at the top of the food chain, would hunt them to augment her own power.

An Ilina that can grow stronger indefinitely... is she worth 300 Merit Points or more?

Ren Suo was somewhat perplexed. Ilina wasn't like the Truth Seekers, the Fairy Palace Assassin, or the Ren Family Cultivators—she was a Paper Person. It wasn't that Ren Suo looked down on Paper People, but he wondered: If future games require me to use characters that have already cleared, and if those games don't take place in the virtual world, would Ilina even be able to participate?

Actually, Ren Suo hadn't given it much thought. Up to now, he still found Ilina's abilities more 'entertaining' than 'practical.' Since his current goal was to accumulate Merit Points, he naturally wasn't interested in such 'pay-to-get-stronger' schemes.

Moreover, restarting the game would mean allowing the Rebels of the Gemini to absorb the Vital Energy and Spirit of humans—those at the bottom of the food chain—to increase their own Origin Data. As someone also at the bottom of that food chain, Ren Suo certainly didn't have the stomach for feeding his anime pet with fellow humans.

He chose to upload.

*Infinite Intrusion* upload complete. Thanks for playing. Endless Fun in the Mini World!

At this point, the view returned to the game, where Ilina bowed slightly towards Ren Suo, who was beyond the screen. "Great Dominator," she said, "Ilina awaits your command here. The power of 'Perfect Erosion' will always listen to the Dominator's will."

Exiting the game, Ren Suo saw a spinning disc icon in the lower right corner of the *Infinite Intrusion* game tile. It shouldn't take too long, right? he thought.

Although this game was free, like *Devouring the Spirit of the World*, it would still be retained after clearing—it just couldn't be played anymore.

Now, naturally, it was time to open the Treasure Chests.

Looking at the two Three-Star Treasure Chests in the Content Preservation Vault, Ren Suo felt a familiar pang of frustration. He still didn't have enough Keys. There were a total of three Keys in the Content Preservation Vault: a One-Star Storm Key, a One-Star Space Key, and a Two-Star Resentment Key, obtained from Lin Xianyu, Dong Chengling, and Qiao Muyi, respectively. They couldn't be combined into a Three-Star Key.

Speaking of which, Ren Suo felt even more exasperated. He had promised to hold a clinic in the school infirmary once a month. On that designated day, he had treated 31 students and 13 staff members, depleting his spiritual energy to the point of utter exhaustion, yet none of these patients turned out to be Key bearers.

From what Ren Suo had observed in the cafeteria, he had encountered at least twenty Awakeners. It was just his bad luck that none of them had fallen ill on the day he held his clinic. However, the likelihood of cultivators getting sick would only decrease, which was why Ren Suo wasn't particularly interested in holding clinics anymore.

I still need them to cause some fatalities for me to get a flood of Keys... Was my foreshadowing useless...? Ren Suo muttered. He looked around the Content Preservation Vault but found no new exclusive rewards.

That thing was an Ability?

Ren Suo opened the Equipment Interface and finally found the reward for *Infinite Intrusion*—Data Stream.

So it's not something that allows me to achieve Datafication directly, but an Ability that needs to be activated? he mused. Ren Suo had thought he would become a man who could be measured by Health Points, Mana, and Stamina.

After equipping it, Ren Suo didn't feel much. He pondered for a moment, pressed his right hand against his belly, and mentally activated 'Data Stream.'

A stream of information appeared in his mind:

'Target Type: Primate Hominidae Adult Male'

'Physical Condition: Normal'

'Cultivation State: 1st Transformation 36% (You have already defeated 99% of the Upright Apes globally!)'

'Eyes: Slightly dry, excessive eye mucus secretion. Recommendation: Apply eye drops once daily to effectively alleviate the condition.'

'Limbs: Insufficient exercise. Recommendation: Perform the eleventh set of radio exercises once daily to effectively alleviate the condition.'

'Neck: Underused. Recommendation: Trace the character 'feces' in the air with your head three times daily to effectively alleviate the condition.'

'Kidneys: ...'

What filled Ren Suo's mind was a long list of information about himself—it was like undergoing a thorough physical examination, complete with diagnoses of current problems and specific treatment plans!

This isn't as good as direct Datafication, Ren Suo thought. I really don't believe I'd still need to do radio exercises and trace the character 'feces' with my head to maintain my health if I were datafied!

Still, it was quite interesting. Ren Suo proceeded to use 'Data Stream' on other things in his home.

'65-inch Z9D 4K HDR TV, resolution 3840×2160, direct LED backlight, powered on, operating normally.'

'Lamy Fountain Pen, ink capacity 31%, nib slightly oxidized, 31 days since last use, normal operation.'

'Drinkable tap water, colorless and transparent, slight taste of rust, safe for consumption after boiling.'

'Target Type: Blattodea.'

"Fuck!" Ren Suo yelped.

「 」

After checking everything in his home with 'Data Stream,' Ren Suo found that the information scouted for inanimate objects was very concise, always ending with a comment on whether it was usable. He had initially thought 'Data Stream' would only provide such a detailed list for himself, but that notion vanished when he touched a cockroach that scurried out of the guest room.

The cockroaches in the south are damn huge!

Ren Suo then remembered he had been away from home for half a month. Upon returning, he had only cleaned his bedroom, kitchen, and living room. The guest room, always unoccupied, had been left untouched and uncleaned. Every other part of his home was spotless and definitely cockroach-free; only the guest room could be a breeding ground for those detestable pests!

Since it was just one guest room, Ren Suo quickly grabbed the insect spray he had bought earlier and sprayed it liberally throughout the room, then swiftly shut the door to prevent the insecticide's odor from seeping out.

DRIP. DRIP. DRIP.

The heavy patter of rain outside drew Ren Suo's attention; he realized it had already gotten dark.

This is bad, Ren Suo thought as he walked outside and surveyed the weather. Now I can only go out for crayfish and stir-fried river snails... I wonder if the cafeteria delivers?

What had been a clear, cloudless night sky moments ago was now unleashing a torrential downpour. The raindrops pelted down with such force it felt like being hit by dog crap.

DING DONG.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.
