As the information flashed by, Lin Yuan felt an indescribable force suddenly pull his entire soul out of the water tank, a bizarre sensation enveloping him.
In the next moment, a warm spring breeze swept in, flowers bloomed, blue and white clouds floated by, and sunlight poured down! Oh my goodness!
No words could capture Lin Yuan's feelings at that moment. If he had to describe it, it would be like someone who had been imprisoned in a dark room without light for a lifetime, suddenly stepping into a luxurious villa just before dying, gazing at the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows and the brilliant sunset, tears streaming down his face!
This was the first feeling—unparalleled. Lin Yuan's thoughts flowed freely without any hindrance, as if he were playing notes on a piano, watching birds trace their paths across the sky, and listening to wind chimes on the eaves!
Quickly—this was the second feeling Lin Yuan experienced. All his memories and previously stored information settled in easily and effortlessly, without any delays or confusion. Here, he felt like a magician of time, able to effortlessly touch upon even the tiniest details.
Dreamlike—this was the third feeling Lin Yuan encountered. It wasn't a specific dream with defined lines but rather a subtle luxury imbued with depth. It had a hint of bitterness yet was rich and fragrant, reminiscent of half-yellowed and half-red maple leaves collected inadvertently on an autumn street.
This was a dream, yet it felt incredibly real!
The Punisher System granted Lin Yuan unimaginable surprises. As he regained his composure from the shock, he immediately sensed that his intellect had gained a sense of immediacy and touch!
It was simple; previously, Lin Yuan's intellect could only create complex imaginations and three-dimensional projections or virtual images, which was already quite impressive.
After all, for any human being—be it Da Vinci or Isaac Newton, or even Shakespeare or Lu Xun—no matter how extraordinary their brains and brilliant their thoughts were, they could only imagine one-dimensional points and two-dimensional planes in their minds, along with some vague three-dimensional worlds.
Which seasoned artist could clearly generate perfect works of Cang Teacher in their mind? It seemed impossible. Even if we assume there are individuals with exceptional memories, they could at most replicate images from their memory but could not maintain them for long; stability eluded them.
Because no one could create a perfect, stunning, and magnificent film purely through brainpower alone and then store it stably to revisit whenever they wished—impossible!
However, Lin Yuan's previous intellect could easily achieve this. Concepts like Avatar, The Lord of the Rings, and Dark Magic were merely ideas.
The problem was that, at that time, Lin Yuan's Intellect could create stunning, exquisite, and extremely stable three-dimensional images, but they had to be pre-made and were not touchable.
For example, if Lin Yuan missed Teacher Cang, he would first need to gather data on the Earthlings' height, weight, and various other statistics. He would then compare color differences and analyze everything from skeletal joint movements to neural reflexes, as well as emotions like joy and sorrow. Only after all this was done could he summon Teacher Cang. The desired scenarios had to be pre-produced, which was quite troublesome. If Wakayama Yuan truly had such intentions, it would likely take at least a year and a half to accomplish, ultimately leading him to become more of an anatomical expert than fulfilling his longing.
Did that sound disappointing?
The most important thing was that even if such exquisite three-dimensional images were produced, they were still just images and wouldn't feel very real.
But now, with the a180 Punisher System, he had gained both visual and tactile sensations!
What did visual sensation mean? It meant that whatever he thought of would automatically generate in front of him, creating a tactile sensation in his Intellect—something he could actually touch!
It was absolutely a gadget for homebodies!
Of course, Lin Yuan wasn't so bored anymore; he merely felt a sense of awe at the powerful computational ability of the a180 Punisher System. To achieve both visual and tactile sensations required an immense amount of computation!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan silently recited: "What is improper should not be seen or heard," before returning with a sense of pride.
"Welcome back, sir. Claire is here to serve you. Would you like to connect all your units seamlessly, including your Identification Number, Energy Engine, Main Mechanical Body, Auditory Radar, Weapon System, and Third Combat Form? Due to the upgraded Intelligent Brain System being exceptionally capable, your original Intelligence Level has increased from Level 17 to Level 18. Currently, the System has five passive applications and five active applications; would you like to activate them all? Additionally, sir, since this System is of a1+ quality, you must ensure that you are always using an energy source of e1 level or higher; otherwise, it will affect the operation of the Intelligent Brain System."
Claire's voice soon rang out—sweet as ever; she must be enjoying herself too.
"Claire, activate all connections. By the way, what are passive applications and active applications?" Lin Yuan felt a slight heaviness in his heart as he suddenly found himself in a vast blank space. However, the external images collected by his Auditory Radar remained unaffected; he could exit this sensation at any time with great ease.
"Understood, sir. All connections have been activated. The so-called passive applications refer mainly to the operational assistance programs built into the a180 Punisher System: Intellect Visual Sensation, Intellect Tactile Sensation, Intellect Random Environment Generation Platform, Intellect Information Threat Defense, and Intellect Memory Data Analysis Management. The five active applications include Intensive Parallel Composite Computation; this application can assist you in complex calculations with an efficiency that is zero times greater than your previous Intellect. The second is the Civic Induction Transmission Rate training platform; this application must be connected with the Five-Dimensional Key Space to be used. My guess is that it’s meant for simulation training—it should be quite good. The third application is Tactical Simulation and Strategy Analysis; well, this essentially refers to my existence—I take up a bit of Intellect resources. Sir, you won't be angry about that, will you?"
"Is being angry even useful? The fifth application." Lin Yuan thought to himself, realizing he had no other choice. Moreover, he found the A180 Punisher System to be so vast that sharing some with Claire seemed only natural.
"Thank you, sir! You are such a good person!" Claire exclaimed joyfully. "Well then, I suppose you wouldn't mind that I've slightly occupied the fifth active application, right? Actually, this application is something you won't need, but for me, it is incredibly important. This application is called—Sister Claire's elfhu!"
"What? What what?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback, confused by the jumble of words. However, he didn't dwell on it too much; regardless of the situation, Claire had clearly established her claim, and there was no need to argue with her.
"Alright then, that's settled! Now, let's each focus on our tasks and don't disturb me!"
Lin Yuan immediately began to experience the entire A180 Punisher System anew. This Intelligent Brain System was astonishing; he was even confident that with such an intellect assisting him, any complex Mechanical Assembly he undertook in the future would yield remarkable results.
Afterward, Lin Yuan checked the connections between the Mechanical Body and Intellect one by one. He discovered that due to his powerful Intellect, he had already increased the Civic Induction Transmission Rate by 00999 without a preset Intelligence Matrix. This was the first time he had broken through the Civic Induction Transmission Rate below 00! Incredible; it was truly impressive.
This almost meant that Lin Yuan now had a greater assurance in close combat. Even when using the Gale Evasion Skill, things would be much easier.
Even more formidable was that with this A180 Punisher System, every time he advanced further, he would gain eight Modification Points—a significant benefit.
In addition to that, the five passive applications and three active applications were worth his careful study. However, the only drawback was that running such an outstanding A180 Punisher System required continuous use of Energy Blocks at level E1 or above. This meant Lin Yuan needed to acquire more Energy Blocks immediately; otherwise, there would be serious consequences.
Currently, the stolen E1-level energy units were down to less than three hundred. He couldn't afford to slack off!
"Alright then, it's just about stealing again? Let's get back to it!"
Lin Yuan muttered as he returned to reality. This task needed to be prioritized. He promptly headed back to the entrance of the old recycling passageway, ready to employ his previous tactics once more!
However, in the next moment, Lin Yuan was utterly shocked to find that the vast Repair Space had become eerily quiet. All the repair drones had vanished, and the numerous Repair Mechanical Arms had entered a state of stillness.
"This is bad! What happened? Have all the damaged drones been repaired already?"
For a moment, Lin Yuan felt at a loss. Without any drones in repair mode, where could he steal E1-level energy? Without enough E1-level energy, his Intelligent Brain System would be damaged.
"Claire, we have an emergency. I need to immediately shut down most functions of the A180 Punisher System to conserve E1-level energy until we can find more," Lin Yuan said without hesitation, deciding to turn off all non-essential functions and keep only the core operations running.
Next, Lin Yuan began to brainstorm strategies; he couldn't just remain trapped here! That would be the most tragic outcome.
However, he hesitated to charge out recklessly. Who knew if those Repair Mechanical Arms would suddenly awaken? It was too risky.
Just as Lin Yuan was caught in his dilemma, a full-frequency message suddenly came through.
"The Dark Messenger-Class Star Battleship is setting sail. All combat units are to enter their designated trajectories. Prepare for battle and be ready to depart at any time! Repeat! The Dark Messenger-Class Star Battleship is setting sail. All combat units are to enter their designated trajectories. Prepare for battle and be ready to depart at any time!"
...
This was a simple command message, but for Lin Yuan, it felt like a blessing from above. So it was this Blaze-Class Interstellar Battleship that was departing—what an opportunity! This was a chance for escape!
He needed to return to the Seventh Drone Squadron immediately because only in battle would these drones be released. Only then could he break free from this secure cage. Once on the battlefield, he could make a desperate attempt to flee; it was certainly a better chance than trying to fight his way out of this Starship! (To be continued.)
