Chapter 416

The Federal Government had long given up on using numerical values to determine the level of intelligence because the classification was not clear enough. In today's era, intelligence levels were divided into four levels: D, C, B, A, and S.

D level belonged to the level of unqualified intelligence. According to previous numerical values, it was below 100.

C level belonged to the level of qualified intelligence. According to previous numerical values, it was between 100 and 150.

B level belonged to the level of genius. According to previous numerical values, it was between 150 and 300.

A level belonged to the level of monstrous intelligence. According to previous numerical values, it was between 300 and 1000. People who had reached this level were already able to play Space-time Shogi more smoothly.

As for the highest level, S level, it was a unique existence with a numerical value of more than 1000. If this type of person was given the right guidance, they would become extremely terrifying existences. No matter what field they were in, they could freely control it and achieve extraordinary achievements.

According to Neptune's test results, Mi Ke's IQ was at least above 700, which was a level of A +. This was the result of Mi Ke's young age and not having learned many advanced algorithms. If he taught Mi Ke more, it wouldn't be difficult for Mi Ke to play more than 400 moves with him. In other words, Mi Ke's IQ was still undeveloped. Most importantly, Neptune knew that it was very easy for people with A-level IQ to awaken the ability of a player. Once this ability was awakened, Mi Ke's IQ test results would soar again.

Once it was developed and the ability of a player was awakened, Neptune believed that it would not be a problem for Mi Ke's IQ to break through to S-level. He might even become the smartest person in the entire Cosmic Sea.

Before meeting Mi Ke, the person with the highest IQ Neptune had ever seen was Gu Ding's little friend, Reid. Neptune had also secretly tested that fellow. His IQ was around 400, which was a level of A-. However, after awakening the ability of a player, Neptune predicted that the fellow's IQ should be above 800. He had completely entered the A + level. Moreover, he was still on the rise. It was not impossible for him to enter S-level in the future.

When Neptune was bored, he often looked for people to play Space-time Shogi in the Skynet gaming area. There were not many people who could last more than 100 steps. There were less than twenty of them, and those were A-level monsters with an IQ of more than 300. Neptune had only met two people who could last more than 300 steps like Mi Ke. One of them was a terrifying existence with an S-level IQ who could last more than 550 steps.

Neptune was confident that he would be able to train Michael into the most intelligent human in the entire Cosmic Sea if he was able to pull him into the team.

Gu Ding found it difficult to ask a child to join an Interstellar Pirate crew.

After more than three hours, many people had gathered around to watch the battle. Many of them were surprised to see Gu Ding win against Mi Ke. This was because Mi Ke Ke had been playing chess for many years, but no one had ever been able to beat him in chess.

The tall woman who had just come out of the tavern was also quite surprised to see this.

"Big brother, will you come and play chess with me again in the future?" Mi Ke Ke did not seem to want to let go of the 'expert' Gu Ding.

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll accompany you tomorrow. How about that?" Gu Ding felt that this child was a little like him.

"I... Can I go with you?" Mi Ke'e suddenly raised this strange request.

"Miko …" The tall woman seemed reluctant.

"Sister Michelle, can I?" Mi Ke Ke's pair of empty eyes looked in Michelle's direction. Although her eyes were not focused, Michelle could not refuse.

"Mi Ke Ke, let me think about it." Michelle turned to look at Gu Ding. "Come with me."

Gu Ding and the others followed Michelle into the tavern's lounge.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Interstellar Pirates, right?" As the owner of the tavern, Michelle used to be an Interstellar Hunter. Naturally, she would not be wrong about Interstellar Pirates.

"That's right, we're Interstellar Pirates." Gu Ding did not deny it.

"Then you don't have to take what Mi Ke said seriously today. I won't let him go with you." After confirming the identity of Gu Ding and the others, Michelle did not ask a second question and gave a direct answer.

"I can understand if you don't want Mi Ke to go with us. However, I want to know what's going on with this child. "Gu Ding stared at Michelle with a burning gaze.

Michelle did not plan to say anything at first, but when she saw the look in Gu Ding's eyes, she relented. "Ten years ago, a customer came to my tavern. He carried Mi Ke in. At the time, he was still a baby in swaddling clothes. The customer came at night and drank a lot. He did not leave until very late. After he left, we only found out when we were closing time that the baby had been left behind. At first, we thought that the person had drunk too much and had forgotten about him. He would definitely come back the next day to look for the child. In the end, we waited for three days, and no one came back to take him. Only then did I realize that the child was born blind. Only then did I know why the child was abandoned.

"Originally, I planned to send him to an orphanage. However, when I walked to the entrance of the orphanage, I saw the children there being beaten and scolded. I couldn't bear to see them like that, so I decided to raise him myself. When he was a little older, I realized that the little guy was very smart. No matter what it was, he could learn it after just one lesson. Later, to kill time, I taught him how to play chess. From then on, it got out of hand. He was proficient in almost all kinds of chess, and he was very good at it … However, he was often immersed in his own world and rarely interacted with others. "

Gu Ding's thoughts wandered. He felt that Mi Ke's experience was similar to his. He was also abandoned, but he was luckier because he had a father to bring him up. Mi Ke, on the other hand, rarely interacted with others due to his IQ and eyesight.

After listening to Mi Ke's story, Gu Ding was silent for a long time. Finally, he said, "I want to take Mi Ke away."

"I won't agree to this. I won't let Mi Ke become an Interstellar Pirate," Michelle gave a very firm answer.

"Interstellar Pirate is just a profession. Professions don't differentiate between rich and poor." Gu Ding shook his head. "You shouldn't bury Mi Ke here because of your preferences. He's a dazzling gem. Leaving him here will only gather dust. "

"That's right. You can't be prejudiced against us Interstellar Pirates just because you were an Interstellar Hunter. It's not like there aren't good people among us Interstellar Pirates. Besides, you Interstellar Hunters and the Federal Government have a lot of scum, "Liliath said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lili!" Gu Ding felt that Liliath's words were a little harsh and stopped her from continuing.

"I used to have a lot of prejudice against Interstellar Pirates, but I don't anymore." Michelle shook her head. She also knew that what Liliath said was the truth.

"The reason I don't want Mi Ke to become an Interstellar Pirate is because the death rate of Interstellar Pirates is the highest in the Cosmic Sea. Especially for people like you who have just entered the Cosmic Sea. More than eighty percent of newcomers who enter the Cosmic Sea for the first time either die or go to prison. Of the remaining twenty percent, fifteen percent disband their teams and become members of other larger teams. Another three percent escape back to their original Cosmic Nation. It's not as easy as you think to make a name for yourself in the Cosmic Sea. I won't let Mi Ke die with you … "

After some discussion, Michelle still disagreed in the end.

Although Gu Ding felt it was a pity, Michelle did have a point. Although his crew looked impressive now, in reality, a regular member of the TOP2 could completely crush them, not to mention the more powerful powerhouses of the Federal Government.

In the Cosmic Sea, Gu Ding's crew was just a small fry.

"I'll explain this to Mi Ke. I'm sure he'll understand." After Michelle finished speaking, she stood up, walked around the bar's front desk, and walked toward the door.

Michelle told Mi the results of her discussion with Gu Ding's crew.

After listening, Mi Ke was silent for a long time before she raised her head again. "Sister Michelle, do you remember the story of the Thorn Birds that you told me before?"

Michelle fell silent.

"The Thorn Birds only let out the most beautiful cry before they die. I want to be a Thorn Bird too, but right now, I'm just a Thorn Bird in a cage. Although I won't die from exhaustion from flying, I can't make a beautiful cry either. I don't want to be a Thorn Bird like that. I want to be a Thorn Bird that dies in pursuit of its dreams. Even if it's just for a moment, I'll be satisfied. "

Mi Ke finally said what was on his mind. He did not want to say it before because he was afraid of hurting Michelle. He knew that Michelle was someone who truly cared about him. However, he had to say it now. He had to let Michelle know his true feelings.

Gu Ding and the others followed behind Michelle and heard everything Mi Ke said. The corner of Gu Ding's mouth raised. He knew that this young man was also a person with dreams.

"Alright, I promise you." Michelle compromised in the end. "You can go with them, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Mi Ke did not expect Michelle to compromise. If Michelle did not agree in the end, he could not go against her wishes because it would hurt Michelle.

"You must come back alive!" Tears welled up in Michelle's eyes.

"I promise!" Mi Ke nodded vigorously.

Michelle turned around and looked at Gu Ding. "You must protect him!"

"We will." Gu Ding nodded and agreed to her request.

"Gu Ding, the nine regular members of TOP1 have arrived on this planet. If I'm not mistaken, they're here for us." Neptune's voice suddenly rang out.
