The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician
Chapter 336 - 208: Forty-Year-Old Liu Tingruo

Chapter 336: Chapter 208: Forty-Year-Old Liu Tingruo

Magic·Airborne Attic.

A hypnotism magic that shapes the subconscious of a group through "sleep" and "wake," creating positive illusions and negative visual hallucinations that envelop the entire city.

On the surface, it is magic, but in reality, it is to maximally weaken the Main Brain’s strength and then destroy it.

However...

Jiang Shu slightly furrowed his brow.

If during the magic performance he gave up on destroying the Main Brain, or say after the Main Brain was destroyed, he could still obtain and use derivative entries, then what would the derivative entry of the Airborne Attic look like?

Linking the spiritual power of all Lonely City’s people, then leading them into the world he had constructed?

Creating a true Hackers Empire?

Hiss—

Jiang Shu previewed that scene in his mind and suddenly felt a shiver down his spine.

"Jiang Shu," Liu Tingruo seemed to notice his distraction and waved her hand in front of him again.

"Yes, I’m listening, you were just talking about researching spiritual power, right?" Jiang Shu recalled what Liu Tingruo had just said and then asked with confusion, "But you also said that no one in the history of Lonely City has ever observed spiritual power, so how are you going to research it? And right now, there’s no way to prove your hypothesis is correct."

However, hearing his words, Liu Tingruo instead laughed; a confident smile spread across her face as she retorted, "Aren’t you forgetting something?"

"What..." Jiang Shu looked at her expression and instinctively responded, but suddenly, he thought of something, "Black Silver?"

"Yes," Liu Tingruo nodded, "Just imagine a metal that can detect spiritual power, then I can practically observe and capture this force. Previous scientists couldn’t detect it because they weren’t even sure whether spiritual power existed. But now, your existence can confirm that spiritual power is real, even if my hypothesis is wrong, but the fact that you can drive your derivative entries with spiritual power is true."

Then, Liu Tingruo added with a smile: "As long as we can confirm the existence of spiritual power, Black Silver can create related metals; ’Fantasy Metal’ isn’t named in vain."

"That’s great, as long as you’re happy with your research," Jiang Shu could only scratch his head, watching the joy evident on Liu Tingruo’s face, somewhat puzzled.

"Um, if this really is a highly efficient new energy source, this will be a new progress, if resources become more abundant..." Liu Tingruo’s eyes were filled with anticipation, clearly, her thoughts had drifted far away.

And Jiang Shu just watched Liu Tingruo, buoyant in her own world, and couldn’t help but laugh silently.

It was only at times like these that Liu Tingruo would show a little girl’s pure smile.

Just like that great person from the past said, Liu Tingruo was also a child playing by the seaside, occasionally thrilled by finding a smoother stone or a more beautiful shell.

If this really was a new type of energy source, it might not be bad, the richness of resources could drive an improvement in living standards.

But suddenly, a flash of insight crossed his mind.

No, it might be worse.

The carriers of this energy are not minerals or such, but people.

When people become a source of energy, when they are endowed with the property of objects, that is a terrifying thing.

And more terrifying than that...

Jiang Shu suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.

When he came to this city, he subconsciously thought it was a Cyberpunk world.

Those neon lights, those massive billboards, and those prosthetics, these iconic elements of Cyberpunk made him subconsciously think that this place was a Cyberpunk world.

And the Character Card system further deepened this impression in him, this tooling view of the population matched the Cyberpunk he had in mind.

But these things still seemed somewhat superficial.

Because he hadn’t seen the essence of "high-tech, low life," nor had he seen the phenomena of technology running out of control for various reasons.

On the contrary, this world was very restrained, all aspects were restrained, stabilizing through the Character Card system and laws, patching up places where control was likely to be lost.

Under the overarching influence of the Three Major Groups, such a situation was almost impossible; they could inherently override the law, yet they still adhered to it.

And the reason this situation emerged was simple, it was due to the divine-like figure behind the Three Major Groups.

The Main Brain.

But since his arrival, the city seemed to gradually become more Cyberpunk...

The successive emergence of the Resistance Team, the leakage of Mutant biological experiments, the successful development of artificial intelligence, the creation of the Key Master, and now.

People could possibly become a new energy source.

And a renewable, clean energy source at that.

This was not a good sign.

In a place like Lonely City, there was a large population with low production value.

Often, the actual output of these people’s entire day of labor couldn’t match the resources they consumed, and the reason for their labor was merely to maintain stability, as idle individuals posed greater harm to the city.

High input, low output, this also led to these populations struggling to store living and production materials, merely surviving consumed too much of their time and energy.
