Chapter 968: Nanorobot

The address Lin Lei left on the note is… the summit of Wuji Peak.

Wuji Peak is the highest peak of the Wuji Mountain Range on Forest Island. It is an extinct volcano located in the southeast of Forest Island, adjacent to the sea and bordering the mountain range of the Underground City.

In fact, the Wuji Mountain Range is a large mountain range that connects parts of Forest Island, the Underground City, and King Island. Previously, the Underground City was concealed by formations, unknown to the world.

“Why hasn’t the fire in the Underground City started yet?”

When arriving at the foot of Wuji Peak, Long Qian looked towards the Underground City and wondered out loud.

“The Underground City is too large, with refineries, gas stations, and oil depots too dispersed. It requires searching for containers, filling them with oil, and then distributing them throughout the entire Underground City, which is extremely time-consuming. After that, the 100 Fire System Totem Inheritors have to run around the city to ignite fires, which also takes a considerable amount of time,” Ye Xiu explained.

“So, according to you, we can only see the scene of the Underground City burning after dawn?” Long Qian asked.

“I estimate we’ll have to wait until nightfall after dawn,” Ye Xiu admitted, uncertain about the time.

“I should have controlled more Earth System Totem Inheritors,” Long Qian regretted.

“After we rescue Chen Yuqing, you should take another trip to the camps of the three Judicator Families,” Ye Xiu encouraged.

“Alright!” Long Qian nodded. “Then let’s get up the mountain quickly!”

Wuji Peak is a kilometer high with steep terrain, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to reach the top. Even for extreme sports climbing experts, it’s difficult to scale to the summit.

But for experts like Ye Xiu and Long Qian, they could reach the top in no time.

As the two of them just arrived at the summit, they unexpectedly heard a teasing voice:

“Only two people came? The Chen Family really underestimates me.”

Ye Xiu and Long Qian immediately looked towards the direction of the voice, seeing a large volcanic crater at the summit of Wuji Peak.

Next to the crater, there was a small lake.

Lin Lei was by the lake, roasting some unknown animal, the scent filling the air. Next to Lin Lei was Chen Yuqing, tied up and unconscious.

“Lin Lei, you piece of trash, you dare to kidnap my sister. Do you want to die?”

Long Qian shouted angrily upon seeing Lin Lei.

Ye Xiu squinted his eyes; he had the ability to see through others’ cultivation. The Lin Lei in front of him was a fake.

However, the appearance, height, demeanor, and gaze were almost identical to the real Lin Lei.

This reminded Ye Xiu of a person: there was a legendary ‘Thousand Faces Gentleman’ in the Royal City, the Eternal Kingdom’s top master of disguise, but Ye Xiu had never seen this person.

Could this fake Lin Lei be the Thousand Faces Gentleman?

“So, you’re Chen Yuxin, Chen Yuqing’s sister? The Chen Family is really timid, sending a young tender skin like you to save her.”

The fake Lin Lei ignored Long Qian’s rage, teased with a chuckle, and then glanced at Ye Xiu, asking:

“Who is this?”

“I’m your dad!” Ye Xiu replied.

Fake Lin Lei: “???”

Long Qian: “???”

“Turns out he’s an idiot.”

The fake Lin Lei snorted disdainfully, ignoring Ye Xiu, and mockingly said to Long Qian:

“Chen Yuxin, with just you and this idiot, you can’t save Chen Yuqing. You better go back and ask your great-grandfather to come.”

Long Qian got angry when the fake Lin Lei insulted Ximen as an idiot; she was Ximen’s superior, if Ximen was an idiot, then what did that make her?

Head of a mental hospital?

This was an insult she could not tolerate!

“You’re not worth my great-grandfather’s personal attention,”

As Long Qian finished speaking, she disappeared from where she stood and, in the next moment, appeared behind the fake Lin Lei, punching his head to pieces.

“Trash!”

Long Qian smirked disdainfully.

Just as she was about to squat down to wake her sister Chen Yuqing, a sudden change occurred.

The fragments of the fake Lin Lei she had smashed, including the body, actually all turned into a silver liquid, then merged together.

“What…”

Ye Xiu was shocked. What kind of bizarre ability was this?

It was similar to how he had once cut off Stephanie’s arm, and the arm turned into a golden liquid, reattaching itself to Stephanie’s body.

“Impressive.”

After the silver liquid merged together, it wriggled back into human form, resembling Lin Lei, but without clothes.

The fake Lin Lei looked at Long Qian, surprised, and said:

“The intel was incorrect. Everyone thought you were the Fourth Realm War God, but it turns out you hid your strength.”

Long Qian was equally surprised, looking at the fake Lin Lei, and asked in astonishment:

“Nanorobots?”

The fake Lin Lei’s expression changed, asking:

“How do you know about nanorobots?”

Ye Xiu was also curious, but not about how Long Qian knew about nanorobots. Being one of the eight guards of the Hall Master of the Dragon King’s Palace, and the Hall Master Radom being Stephanie’s brother, he surely knew a lot about the Transcendent Laboratory.

So Long Qian knowing about nanorobots was not surprising.

What puzzled Ye Xiu was that nanorobots were an artificial intelligence product, each only nano-sized. However, they needed an artificial intelligence server network to remotely control each one.

But the Eternal Kingdom’s satellites had long been taken over by You Ming, and the kingdom’s network system had already been destroyed by You Ming.

How did Lin Lei manage to allow the Transcendent Laboratory’s artificial intelligence server to remotely control the nanorobots?

“I know a lot more than you think,”

Long Qian grabbed the fake Lin Lei by the neck, and in the next moment, electric light flickered.

“Thunder System Totem?”

The fake Lin Lei exclaimed, before once again turning into liquid.

Actually, it wasn’t liquid, but countless nanorobots so small they appeared like liquid.

But now, these nanorobots were all short-circuited and destroyed by the Thunder System Totem.

Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. He truly hadn’t expected Long Qian to have a Thunder System Totem.

He asked:

“The Eternal Kingdom’s network system has already collapsed. How did Lin Lei manage to control the nanorobots remotely?”

“Oh? It seems you know something about nanorobots,”

Long Qian was surprised and explained:

“Actually, it’s quite simple. Artificial intelligence just needs to set a task program for each nanorobot, but a fake Lin Lei made of countless nanorobots cannot contact the artificial intelligence remotely. It can only report back to the artificial intelligence after completing the task.”

“I see…” Ye Xiu realized, and said:

“To prevent any hidden artificial intelligence around, you should do something.”

Just as he finished speaking!

Long Qian called down thunder on the unconscious Chen Yuqing.

Noticing Ye Xiu’s confusion, Long Qian explained:

“The Transcendent Laboratory has already developed technology for nanorobots to interface with the human brain, meaning that nanorobots can hide inside a person, connect with the brain, and thereby control anyone. Fortunately, You Ming destroyed the Eternal Kingdom’s network, otherwise, Lin Lei could destroy the world with just this technology.”
