Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong and Sun Miao separated like lightning, keeping a meter apart, then spoke in unison.

Sun Miao: "Damn!"

Ren Zhong: "It's toxic!"

But that wasn't the end of it.

The system notification sound was still ringing.

This time, different notifications were sent to them separately.

"Congratulations to player Dao Yuan Master, your intimacy with player Ye Yixiao has increased by 5."

"Congratulations to player Ye Yixiao, your intimacy with player Dao Yuan Master has increased by 5."

Both of them: "Damn it!"

Sun Miao was speechless and tearless, "Damn it, what the hell do you want? I was just thinking of not coming back for a while, and now you're forcing me to delete my account."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "Sun bro, don't rush, let me explain slowly."

After a moment, Sun Miao skeptically asked, "You said this Dream Inn really has such good privacy? Even the Association and the Mengdu Group can't do anything? They can only know specific objects interacted but not the details of the conversation? How did you know that? Do you have evidence?"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Yes."

Evidence, he really had it.

But he certainly wouldn't tell Sun Miao.

I used your Resurrection Card once, and after seeing the charred remains of your body, I finally reached this conclusion!

Sun Miao: "Damn! Then weren't we stupid! Why not leave a message? Having a face-to-face conversation still leaves evidence, doesn't it?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "We've already talked once, doing it one more time doesn't matter. This will be our last face-to-face exchange for a while, before you come out, just use messages. This is a copy of the codebook I made, transfer it to your inn account, go over it often, and memorize this code. From now on we'll communicate using the code."

"Also, Sun bro, you don't actually need to worry about your new habit being noticed by others. What's wrong with being a researcher? Researchers are human too, they have emotions and desires, taking a break at the Dream Inn every now and then to relieve stress is perfectly fine."

Sun Miao got angry, "I'm someone who cares about reputation!"

Ren Zhong: "Is reputation more important or what you want to accomplish?"

"Fine then, I'll follow your example. Later, I'll set up the persona of an LSP, just say that I met you in Starfire Town and got influenced."

Ren Zhong: "Damn it. Fine, whatever, our relationship has already been noticed online anyway. Say whatever you want."

Sun Miao: "Let's not talk about that now, let's get down to business. According to what you had Bai Feng convey, if electrons truly follow the uncertainty principle, then at the micro level, everything should be in a chaotic state, and there shouldn't be stable substances in the world, right?"

Ren Zhong: "If you extend the time to infinity, there indeed would be no stable substances in the universe. Whether it's matter or energy, its essence is an aggregation of strings. Mixing a piece of copper and a piece of iron...chaos within order is still order."

Sun Miao was silent again.

After a long while, he said with some melancholy, "Reason tells me that every atom's electron cloud in the universe should be a regular icosahedron, yet I also believe you wouldn't lie to me. The universe you describe that follows different physical rules might truly exist."

Ren Zhong: "In that universe, in countries without war, the average lifespan of healthy humans can exceed seventy, even approaching eighty. Centenarians are everywhere."

"Because that's what real humans are?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes."

"So how were we brought to Source Star and deceived by fabricated history?"

Ren Zhong: "I want to know that too."

"Then how did you come to know all this?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's inconvenient to tell you for now, and it's not important."

"Yes, it's not important."

Ren Zhong continued while the momentum was hot, "Please take care of Bai Feng's matter. Next, I will face off against the Demon Infant. In the Demon Infant's Crystal Core, there is... anyways, you have the chance to try directly transferring the Demon Infant's memory into it."

"The Demon Infant has human memories? What's your evidence? How are you so sure?"

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "Don't ask. I just know."

Sun Miao pondered for a long time, "Then I..."

Ren Zhong interrupted him, "Wait, Sun bro, before that, tell me the truth about one thing."

"What?"

"If you complete the human brain implantation project, would you regain your freedom?"

Sun Miao nodded, "Yes, if I hand over all my results, the project will naturally enter the next phase, starting large-scale clinical trials, which is not a creative task and doesn't require my involvement. I won't have much to do in the short term, and I might enjoy a three to four-year break. But I don't intend to do that; something like this should be buried."

Ren Zhong: "So if you don't teach, is the Mengdu Group truly powerless? Aren't you not the only project team?"
