Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

Chapter 148: The Third Question



Thanks to [Yisus88]'s gift, the Memory Capsule, it only took eight hours to cram everything they knew about the sixth floor's technology into Guin's head.

With it's help, she absorbed knowledge like a sponge.

From every word to every example... they poured it all out, and Guin remembered everything with flawless clarity.

"Now, tell me..."

Miya tested, her voice soft and low making sure the small child did not get frightened and was instead comforted by her voice.

"How do you stabilize a multi-core automaton's energy signature using harmonic resonance?"

Guin didn't even hesitate or blink before she answered.

"You sync the core frequencies to the city's base hum, which is 17.3 terahertz. If they're out of sync, the feedback loop causes a cascade failure and a level-3 explosion..."

Miya's mouth twitched.

Hearing something so complicated come from the mouth of a twelve-year-old made her feel both impressed and unsettled.

"Well, I think she remembers it all now..."

She said before glancing at Adam, narrowing her eyes.

"Say… that memory capsule. Is that the reason you were able to study and memorize things so quickly back then?"

Her voice carried suspicion.

Adam didn't answer.

He just stood up and motioned for them to follow.

"Let's go."

The group walked forward, leaving the study chamber behind.

A plain white corridor stretched endlessly ahead of them, its polished walls glowing faintly with artificial light.

Each step sounded out in the silence.

At the end of the path stood a tall entrance, smooth and seamless, like a door carved into reality itself.

Adam's thoughts darkened as they approached.

'Since the floor boss's test is always an individual trial, there's no need to share the sixth floor's history with them. If they trigger the [True Body] by accident, it'll be trouble. I'll handle it myself.'

Frankly, Adam didn't even know all the details about the sixth floor's [True Body] battle.

Unlike the floors before, this one was not really about brute force and fighting.

It was about the test of knowledge on the sixth floor's technology.

He suspected the [True Body] would push beyond just the technology though.

Maybe history even history and politics...

But whatever it was… he would deal with it.

They finally reached the massive door.

Adam glanced at his siblings and said flatly.

"Just don't be stupid and you won't die."

"Wha—"

Before Miya could retort, Adam pushed open the boss room.

[Warning! You are about to enter an area that can trigger a Boss Fight.]

The notification appeared... then, without warning, everything warped.

The floor beneath their feet dissolved as the colors around them saturated.

Adam barely heard his siblings' voices before they were all separated.

[Hidden Conditions Triggered!]

[You possess more than 80% of information about the Sixth Floor's history.]

[The Last Overseer has activated True Body status.]

A faint beeping sound filled Adam's ears. It was slow, steady, and unsettling.

[Floor 6 Authority has been distributed.]

[May the battle…]

[BEGIN!]

In the next blink, Adam was transported.

He found himself standing inside a small white room.

An empty and silent room...

In front of him sat a single object.

A small, box-shaped screen that looked like an old computer from centuries ago.

The monitor flickered with green text, its beeping sound occurring with every blink.

To anyone else, it looked like just an old computer sitting on a desk.

But Adam knew better.

You couldn't judge it by its looks.

The real boss was not the screen nor the keyboard.

It was the entire, small, white room he was standing in.

The walls, the ceiling, the floor... this entire box was the Overseer's true body.

The ancient civilization that built this place had reached the peak of intelligence.

They believed that true power wasn't in giant robots or flashy weapons.

Real strength was in information.

So, they built their final guardian not as a weapon of war, but as a perfect, inescapable prison for the mind.

A place where your knowledge... or your lack of it— would be your only weapon or your downfall.

The white room was a testing chamber, a library, and a tomb, all in one.

As Adam watched as words started to appear on the dusty screen in front of him.

[User Identified: Adam.]

[Livestreaming function will be temporarily turned off]

[Error]

[Error]

[A portion of the livestream cannot be turned off]

[Resorting to preventing the candidate from viewing the livestream]

Adam glanced towards the notifications.

He didn't even bother thinking what that meant, he just knew it had something to do with those weird viewers of his...

[Candidate recognized.]

[Initializing True Body Examination.]

[Knowledge Assessment will begin.]

[First Question.]

[Explain why the Sixth Floor civilization abandoned physical exploration beyond their planet despite their technological superiority.]

The glowing screen showed four choices:

A. Lack of resources to sustain travel.

B. Fear of the unknown variables outside their planet.

C. Religious doctrine that restricted outward expansion.

D. They had already conquered neighboring systems.

Adam read it calmly.

He was not surprised with the easy question as a start.

He knew this test was a marathon with one thousand questions, each becoming harder...

The answer was obvious.

'Fear...'

He thought.

'They were so smart, they talked themselves into a cage... They loved knowledge, but only the kind they could control.'

He tapped the keyboard, selecting B.

[Answer acknowledged.]

[Correct.]

According to the official history books scattered around the sixth floor, the reason was "Religious Doctrine."

Or at least that was what the civilization told itself...

It sounded noble.

But to the Tower of Yxthar, the higher powers, and people like Adam who looked deeper knew the real truth.

It was simple, ugly fear of the unknown.

It was almost funny.

A civilization that worshipped knowledge was too scared to go out and find more of it...

The room seemed to offer silence for awhile, like the Overseer was "breathing."

[Second Question.]

[Identify the primary purpose of the Artificial Humans created by the Sixth Floor.]

Options appeared again.

A. Weapons of war.

B. Tools for research.

C. Companions to replace lost families.

D. Maintenance and preservation of the city's systems.

Adam narrowed his eyes.

'Not war as they were too fragile... Not research either, they weren't designed to innovate.'

He tapped D.

[Answer acknowledged.]

[Correct.]

[Third Question.]

[What was the fourth detail of the Automate-]

Just as the question was about to finish writing itself, it suddenly stopped.

[Error]

The screen showed an error as the white room around Adam fell into silence.

Adam immediately glanced around him in confusion, but also in alert.

'Is the [True Body] of the sixth floor's boss finally going to start revealing it's true nature?'

Adam thought to himself.

He knew it wouldn't be as simple as answering questions...

Just then, new notifications from the computer screen popped up slowly.

[Rewriting questions due to certain changes in the control panel]

[Third Question]

[Who are you?]
