Yuncang No. 29, at Your Service

"Please note: Yuncang Intelligence is jointly developed by all member states and forces of the Yuncang Union. It is a valuable digital asset and scientific research achievement shared by the Yuncang Civilization.

"Yuncang Number Twenty-One is a limited-function Dungeon of the Qixing Republic, acquired and held through legal technical means and registered. Its authorized use is limited to exploration assistance, data collection, and limited tactical analysis in the large-scale immersive reality game [Ten Thousand Worlds]."

"No official Unsealing command or highest-level authentication signal has been detected. The current operator's biometrics are not recorded in the 'Qixing Republic Authorized Operator Permission Database.' Warning: Please immediately cease illegal operations and return this device to the designated institution of the Qixing Republic or to the Yuncang Intelligence Administration Office! Repeat, please return immediately!"

The figure's speaker beeped for a while, and at the same time, the figure's small mouth opened and closed, precisely in sync with the voice content. Coupled with its serious expression, it created a strange sense of contrast.

Su Luo watched for a while longer, then tried hanging the players' communication bracelets on its head, and it immediately fell silent.

After a while...

"Yuncang No. 29, at your service!"

"Yuncang No. 29 is an illegal Dungeon obtained and held by the Qixing Republic through unofficial technical means and not registered with the consortium. Its current purpose is for in-depth exploration of the large-scale immersive reality game [Ten Thousand Worlds]. A preset 'unofficial Unsealing signal' and associated key verification have been detected. Warning: This Dungeon's database contains some unpublished experimental data, unauthorized interfaces, and logic modules that may cause ethical controversies. The following preset simulated dialogue was recorded and provided by the previous operator, 'Yun Sha'. After the dialogue ends, this machine will automatically delete the relevant database. Simulated dialogue begins--"

No, it's one thing for you to say it loudly when it's legal, but do you have to say it loudly when it's illegal?

Su Luo found the Yuncang civilization to be truly interesting.

The figure paused for about half a second, as if loading some recording, and then the voice it emitted changed to that of a young man, with a steady tone and an indifferent tone.

"Hello, Scholar, World Master [ Under the Under the Starry Sky]."

"Hello."

"The fact that you can hear this already shows that [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] has a basis for cooperation with you and us, or at least, we don't rule out communication." Yun Sha's voice was calm and clear.

"Really."

"Your World Master seems to be a pragmatic person, so there's no need for further formalities. Let's get straight to the point. What we need is the support of the [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] world for the Qixing Republic during the 'Final Showdown'."

What will be the specific form of the Final Showdown?

"We're not entirely sure either. The core rule we know for now is: once the 'World Progress' is full, [Yuncang World] will become a 'target to be conquered,' facing a joint attack from the nine newly emerging 'advanced worlds' in 'Ten Thousand Worlds' —including your [ Under the Under the Starry Sky '. The balance of power will be completely reversed. But the specifics are unclear."

Su Luo seemed thoughtful. "So you mean, [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] won't attack the Qixing Republic?"

"Not only that, we can also fight against other forces in the Yuncang Union. As far as I know, in the 'Final Showdown,' the greater the 'destruction' or 'occupation' the attacking side causes to the target world, the richer the rewards they will receive from 'Ten Thousand Worlds.'"

Su Luo: "..."

This Pillar and the Qixing Republic behind it are True Gods.

Can you tell me your purpose?

"The ship is sinking; we're nothing but a bunch of pathetic creatures trying to escape before it capsizes."

Why did the ship sink?

"A large fleet."

Yun Sha's voice remained unchanged as he continued, "As a token of my sincerity, this white stone, called the Talent Stone, is a gift I'm giving to everyone. Touching it should awaken your [Talent], and if used properly, it's not impossible to cultivate a strategic core."

"The other item, the 'Yuncang No. 29' intelligent Dungeon, is a 'derivative' of a core project of our civilization. The 'Yuncang Intelligence' project is a super project that the Yuncang Union has devoted more than three hundred years to and consumed more than 20% of the civilization's total energy output. Its aim is to create an 'ultimate intelligent life' that truly has the ability to evolve autonomously and can lead the civilization to achieve a dual leap in technology and philosophy."

"And this is an illegal Dungeon; feel free to use it. I hope this 'gift' will pave the way for more cooperation between us in the Future. Our next formal meeting will likely take place on the battlefield of the 'Final Showdown.' Good luck, Scholar."

The next instant, Yun Sha's voice cut off.

"The database has been deleted. Yuncang No. 29 will now provide you with services."

The little girl's voice rang out again.

What's your name?

"Scholar."

"Of course I know, what the hell is your name?"

So polite, so intelligent, it made Su Luo smile for no reason.

"Just call me Mr. Su. What can you do for me?"

"Mr. Su, there's so much I can do... Electromagnetic signal detected, decoded, analyzed... The Wardens of this world are sending military information to players as a deception and trap, but their methods are too rudimentary. Do you need my help?"

How can you help?

"I need a rare element signal transmitter... which means I need to connect to a communication bracelet. Can I use the bracelet I'm wearing around my neck?"

"You can use it."

"Watch closely!"

In the next few minutes, Su Luo, with her powerful perception and ability to capture and decode information out of thin air, clearly "saw" a silent, highly efficient information war.

It doesn't simply send fake commands; instead, it first quickly scans and analyzes the target squad's communication habits, member composition, current status, and even gleans information from fragmented conversations to determine the players' style and psychological state. Then, it simulates information about higher-level command and players whose core members have already died...

"The information scam has been completed. Player locations have also been sent to unknown communication tools near nearby Wardens. There are currently 1300 players remaining in [ Under the Under the Starry Sky], with an estimated 752 expected to stay. The scam mission is complete..."

After watching the whole thing, Su Luo felt that this thing was much more intelligent than a human, truly a top-tier intelligent product of high-tech civilization.

This ability to control and utilize information is a strategic weapon in war. If the Yun Cangyuan Expeditionary Army had been equipped with this level of military AI assistance from the beginning, even if it was only at the tactical level, their advancement efficiency and survivability would have been on another level, and they would never have been defeated so easily and tragically.

Why not use it?
