Chapter 41 Three Wins
Gao Gong came to the last location of the Cable Tribe.
The first thing that catches the eye is a laboratory that looks quite advanced.
Behind the laboratory is a three-story staff dormitory, but it has now been transformed into a villa for the great elder.
On the left side of the villa is a temple, worshiping an unknown wild god. On the right side, there are a lot of packed supplies. It can be seen that the great elder is ready to run away. .
The senior engineer set his sights on the temple, where there was a strong sense of danger.
He squinted his eyes and walked in directly.
A man's upper body was hanging at the door, his fingers clenched tightly on the threshold, and his nails cracked due to excessive force.
His lower body was replaced by dense nerve circuits. On the nerve lines, dendritic structures bulged out like small tumors.
When the senior engineer set his sights on the 'tumor', the thing shook a few times visibly to the naked eye, and then exploded, exploding a ball of colloidal liquid.
"You are so sensitive, you have sensitive skin."
Gao Gong complained, he knew this man, the great elder's son Zhao Yi, the first warrior of the tribe except Meng Duo, all five attributes reached 10 points. In the case of distortion, the strength can expand by half.
In terms of attributes alone, this guy is only a little worse than his predecessor's 'Double Red Stick'. Even among the group of mechanical hunters, he is an elite template.
But for today’s senior engineers, it is not enough.
Stepping over this guy, Gao Gong saw more and more nerve lines spreading out from the altar like cables.
The 'dendrites' are getting bigger and bigger, and some can even clearly see the 'humanoid' inside.
The senior engineer walked up to the altar and kicked open the inner door. What appeared in front of him was a nutrient solution tank as big as a pool.
Professor Han was lying naked inside.
There is another creature in the nutrient solution tank.
Brain in a vat!
The 'Brain in the Tank' is not an oversized brain flower, its appearance is closer to a transparent octopus, with hundreds of tentacles rotating slowly, the big one is more than ten meters, and the small one is only two or three centimeters. It was slowly rotating around Professor Han.
The sucker part of the octopus was replaced by blue light spots one by one, forming a super large blue light vortex, which looked full of mystery and fantasy.
At this moment, as the tentacles squirm, these blue light spots are shining on Professor Han's body, making his skin color and bones become transparent, and only the nerve plexus in his body is constantly lit.
The whole person looks like a human-shaped neural network.
Professor Han’s hair was shaved clean, and was replaced by nerve bundles as thick as a little finger, densely distributed in the prefrontal lobe, posterior frontal lobe, and parietal lobe, that is, the front and back of the head.
The overall look is like a Mohawk hairstyle with dreadlocks.
It’s so trendy.
"I'm so crazy about girls, Professor, you really almost killed the little woman this time."
In the water, Professor Han slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were Godless; at this moment, all his brain power is concentrated in the prefrontal lobe, which is responsible for mental functions. As for other brain systems, they are all in a state of shutdown.
The reason why the eyelids open is just a conditioned reflex of the eye nerves.
The mission gave him three options: kill Professor Han, kill the brain in the vat, and rescue Professor Han.
In fact, none of the three items are easy.
Because killing Professor Han means fighting against a spiritual boss with a perception of over 40 and mastering part of the power of the 'brain in a vat'.
Killing the brain in the vat means helping Professor Han become the new 'super brain'. AOE is enough to kill Gao Gong several times.
If Gao Gong had not been a master of face-pinning in his previous life, and the master of the virtual world, the task would never have been so easy.
First, it was deliberately sucked into the brain.
Then ask Huang Yuanli to 'restart' the system.
I will use the ‘tightening circle’ to escape.
Professor Han, who was found along the network cable, was like a bionic prostitute who came out to pick up customers, doing whatever he wanted.
“How should I deal with you, professor, or rather – the brain in a vat?”
The senior engineer looked at the transparent octopus and grinned.
"Let's talk about the conditions. If I can help you get rid of this old man, what benefits can you give me."
The tentacles of 'Brain in a Vat' are still spinning unconsciously. lock up.
“Stop pretending, even if I kill Professor Han now, part of his personality will only enter your body irreversibly.”
“You want to keep this old man for the rest of your life? Something?”
After a moment of silence, ripples suddenly appeared in the nutrient tank, and then a transparent tentacle came out of the water and touched the back of Gao Gong's hand. A nerve node on the back of the palm lit up.
The voice of ‘Huang Yuanli’ sounded in Gao Gong’s mind.
"Should I trust you? Human being."
"Of course not."
The senior engineer sat on the edge of the pool and gave the other party a smile. account.
"I can help you deduce that the best ending is for you to kill Professor Han, get rid of Huang Yuanli, and become the final winner."
"Of course, you also know that Professor Han has made so many preparations , it’s unrealistic to leave nothing behind.”
“The second option is for you to devour Huang Yuanli and become the host of this girl’s body. No matter what, the girl’s brains are even better. old man's The brain flower is more fragrant, although it is not as good as the pig brain flower. "But are you really willing to wake up from your sleep? There are so many powerful bodies in this world, but you can only choose such a weak one." A carbon-based low-level ape with such a small chest."
"The third possibility is that your main consciousness is destroyed by Professor Han, and Huang Yuanli becomes the new brain in the vat."< br>
"There is an even worse outcome. Professor Han will devour you without leaving any trace of you behind."
"Of course, there is the last possibility, which is to be deceived by me and randomly choose one of the four endings above. 1. "
"But what if I didn't lie to you? After all, you still have to have a dream. What if I can help you solve this dilemma?"
"Tell me, you. What is your choice? "
The 'Brain in the Tank' fell silent again. After a moment, a three-meter-long tentacle protruded from the nutrient solution, like something that a senior engineer had painted before. The book wrapped around him little by little, and the mental nodes attached to his skin lit up one by one.
An indescribable refreshing feeling emerged from Gao Gong's spiritual level.
[Your trunk nerves receive enhanced stimulation, perception +1]
[Your visceral nerves receive enhanced stimulation, perception +1]
[Your brain gray matter receives Enhanced stimulation, perception +1]
[Your brain white matter is enhanced stimulation, perception +1]
Gao Gong was feeling comfortable when the tip of the tentacle passed around the back of his head and gently touched his frontal lobe.
A special kind of mental fluctuation came from the back of his head.
The next moment, Professor Yang’s version of electrotherapy burst out of the senior engineer’s brain again.
The 'brain in a vat' whose nerves are intertwined suffers from electrotherapy ten times more painfully than Gao Gong.
"Huh - I feel refreshed," the senior engineer grinned, "Did you just want to steal my idea?"
The transparent tentacles trembled, and there was actually an embarrassed emotion.
‘Sure enough——’
There is no mastermind AI that gave birth to the Omnic Crisis, no pan-conscious subject that has not undergone ethical reshaping, and no indigenous leaders who have never left the planet.
People give me the nickname "Three Idiots in the Universe".
“Forget it this time, we can’t do this next time, let’s continue the bundling.”
The tentacles of the 'brain in the vat' stretched out again.
[Your thalamus receives enhanced stimulation, perception +1]
[Your pineal gland receives enhanced stimulation, perception +2]
[Your character- 1]
Character: 3
Note: Use the body of an ignorant girl to satisfy the ambitions of a perverted old man, and use human cunning to deceive pure conscious beings. There is still room for your character to decline!
The senior engineer rolled his eyes and ignored the system.
After the pineal gland was strengthened, the brain in the vat also fell into a state of exhaustion, and the mental nodes on the tentacles flickered like a light bulb without electricity.
In fact, Gao Gong did not deceive the other party, not that he was honest enough. In fact, if he were level 30 now, he would immediately take action and kidnap the other party and use it as an 'auxiliary brain'.
Who said that ‘biological batteries’ can only be made by humans, conscious creatures can do it too!
Don't look down on others!
However, in the current situation, helping the 'Brain in the Vat' is the only three-win option. Huang Yuanli kept the brain flower, while Gao Gong won twice.
Only Professor Han's injured world was reached.
The senior engineer took out another 'tight hoop' and threw it into the pool.
"Put it on Professor Han, then wake up the little woman in your body and let her use telepathy to connect me and this old man. Remember, it is a one-way connection, don't make a mistake!"
Huang Yuanli seemed to have had a long dream. In this dream, she seemed to be connected to the entire scavenging city, scanning the entire city from a very strange perspective.
Her telepathy, which she had just glimpsed, was incredibly powerful under the amplification of the 'brain in a vat'.
At the same time, her feelings gradually became indifferent, maybe a little curious, but more of a kind of chaos.
She is frightened by herself without emotions.
However, soon, she floated up from the bottom of the sea again, like a resurrected corpse. When she floated to the surface, the feeling of 'humanity' also came out.
"Don't be stunned, listen to me, I ask you to do this..."
The voice of Gao Gong suddenly sounded from the sky.
After a long while, Huang Yuanli came back to her senses and spoke in surprise - she found that she could speak directly without using her throat.
"You mean, let me transfer your pain to the professor?"
"Yes, the 'central nervous system direct control circle' can produce the effect of electrotherapy. Two circles are two Times the pain.”
"And the 'brain in the vat' can use brain power to catalyze it, and it can reach ten times."
"Ten times of electrotherapy is enough to make this old man pass out directly. As soon as he passes out, the connection with him is cut off. With the connection of the 'brain in the tank', the big octopus can smoothly expel him from the body."
"The second step is to follow the example of the gourd and use the telepathy to sense my pain. , the brain in the vat will intensify your pain and make you faint, and once you faint, it can get rid of you completely."
"Wait, what if I faint, this thing will eat me. What should I do?”
Gao Gong shrugged, “Then next year it will be your death anniversary, I will burn incense for you!”
"You——" Huang Yuanli felt the long-lost anger.
"Don't worry, the big octopus won't be interested in your little arms and legs," Gao Gong paused and said meaningfully: "If it really eats you, it means it will If I completely occupy your body, I will easily kill you and avenge you.”
Huang Yuanli hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will cooperate with you!"
The whole plan is not complicated, the key is trust. It is difficult for a 'brain in a vat' to trust humans, but Huang Yuanli only He trusted senior engineers, let alone Professor Han, who was so paranoid that he only believed in himself.
This is a prisoner's dilemma.
What Gao Gong did was to get the prisoners' guns into his own hands, and then force them to win three times.
Yes, Gao Gong won twice.
