Chapter 43: Silver-Level Brain Demon Chip

[This simulation evaluation: D-Class!].

[Cooling time: 20 minutes!].

[Summary: Although the overall outcome was a failure, many pieces of information were still gathered, and the loot was consolidated. Keep pushing forward.].

“Still can’t avoid the outcome of being killed. There’s actually a group of brain demons hiding not far from me?”

Su Bai exhaled a breath of frustration.

He pondered, bewildered, about why those brain demons had come such a long way.

That semi-circular fortress was key.

It could amplify the power of the brain demons dozens of times.

From the information gathered so far, there were at least five ordinary silver brain demons and one high-level silver brain demon inside that fortress.

On top of that, their mental powers could combine.

Using technology, they could unleash power far exceeding that of their counterparts.

Su Bai had thought his dragon knights and Kabuterimon were strong, but he hadn’t expected to encounter an overwhelming combination of technology and soul, which left them utterly defenseless.

“They are taking an extreme approach. If we can strike first, sneaking in for a surprise attack, we might still have a chance,” he mused.

His main uncertainty was how that fortress had discovered them.

Was it due to the self-detonation of the brain demon’s corpse?

Or did they trigger an alarm by getting too close to the meteor belt?

Su Bai felt it was more likely that the corpse’s self-detonation had transmitted some information. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As he contemplated this, the text began to summarize.

[Please choose one talent to solidify from the following options!].

Considering that the primary enemy was the brain demons,

Su Bai opted to solidify Vitality Feedback.

Without this talent, Godzilla and Ultra Kabuterimon would face significant disadvantages.

[Please select from the following options to retain!].

In the extraction panel that followed, Su Bai was astonished to find a silver-level brain demon chip!

He quickly checked the details.

[Brain Demon Chip (Silver Level): A famous computing artifact in the universe. It not only enhances mental capabilities but also acts as the CPU of a computer. Highly sought after, but simultaneously discovered to be the one who killed its kin. The brain demons may come back for revenge. (Note: If this item is extracted, that brain demon will die prematurely in reality. Required Creation Value: 5000!)].

“If I take this out now, wouldn’t that half-dead brain demon die in the UFO without even the Heavenly Origin World knowing?”

An idea struck Su Bai.

“It always transmits messages just before dying, causing alarm. But now, if I exploit this bug, can I not kill it without taking damage? Even the brain demons inside the fortress wouldn’t be alerted.”

Moreover, this chip was worth at least 50 million!

Considering its scarcity and the fact that brain demons would rather self-destruct than leave behind the chip,

the market price would only increase, not decrease.

However, the cost to extract it was also quite high.

Additionally, since he had just suffered a loss in the previous simulation, he was currently left with only around 8500 creation points.

Su Bai didn’t dare to use it recklessly.

For safety’s sake, he chose not to extract the chip.

Currently, the 200-kilometer world was barely sufficient for them to stir things up.

Taking advantage of the cooling period, Su Bai returned to reality.

He searched for information about the brain demons but found that most of the circulated details were quite common.

He had no idea about the specific social structure of the brain demons or how many members a typical long-range fleet had.

“Now that I’m not even enrolled yet, I’m still just a trainee world master. I lack the permission to access many documents.”

Then he suddenly thought of the old principal.

Having seen much, he should know a lot.

Quickly, Su Bai picked up his phone and dialed the principal’s private number.

Upon hearing that he wanted information about the brain demons, the principal was astonished:

“Why do you want information about them? Brain demons are notoriously vengeful. They are very clannish and have a high technological level. Their methods are unpredictable, and they love to calculate and ambush from behind.

If you discover them, you should report it to the Human Alliance Association immediately.”

“I’m just a bit curious; I feel like I keep encountering similar monsters nearby and want to confirm.”

Through Su Bai’s persistent persuasion,

the principal sent over a batch of materials via email and advised:

“Don’t leak this out. With your current permissions, you’re not yet qualified to see this. These were obtained through life-threatening explorations. Once you finish your college entrance exams and enroll in Starry Sky University, it will be much easier. The better the school, the better the nurturing.”

Su Bai was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.

He began to check the more detailed intelligence.

Upon seeing the first segment, he frowned.

“Brain demons typically operate in groups, forming expedition teams. Among them, the top-tier ones even include holy-level brain demons leading large fleets.

Next are diamond-level ones commanding around ten ships. The most common are the exploration vanguards led by golden-level brain demons. A typical configuration includes one golden brain demon, ten silver brain demons, and three hundred bronze brain demons.

What’s particularly noteworthy is that with technological assistance, the fleet can often exert power far exceeding that of similar-level opponents. Some golden brain demons even capture same-level golden creatures as slaves, making them exceptionally brutal!”

“Of course, there are also many scattered silver-level small teams, but they are rare. As for the bronze-level brain demons that have dispersed, they are even rarer.”

“Their fatal weakness is the calculation chip; as long as it is destroyed, they can be killed instantly. But simultaneously, the greatest value of the brain demons is lost as well.”

…

There were many other supplementary materials, which Su Bai skimmed over.

His attention remained fixated on the brain demon fleet, frowning silently.

“What kind of fleet is stationed in the meteor belt? If a golden or even diamond-level brain demon shows up, then what’s the point? We might as well report to the nation.”

He decided that in the next simulation,

he would do his utmost to investigate the strength of the brain demons.

And he needed to strike first!

Furthermore, the three mental talents he had previously selected had also played a significant role.

Among them, the Eye Demon had benefited the most.

Its performance was impressive; it even survived longer than Godzilla in the grand showdown.

Considering that this type of mental creature was particularly abundant in the myriad worlds,

including paranormal ghosts that also tested mental strength,

Su Bai resolved that today’s task was to brush out more mental system talents and solidify them!
