Dissection

"Are you kidding me?"

Su Luo could hardly believe what Wang Fujian had said.

"Your [Adjudication] have recently become somewhat more human?"

"Yeah, I didn't give it any extra permissions, but it's like some kind of rogue software, with all sorts of splash screen ads, shake-to-redirect, and chained services running invisibly, and I can't stop it."

Wang Fujian said earnestly.

Tell me more.

Although Wang Fujian should go to the academy about the problem with the Adjudication, Su Luo felt she still needed to know about it herself.

If something unusual happens more than once, it's highly unlikely to be a coincidence.

"Oh well."

Wang Fujian summarized the language and began to speak.

"Because I don't really enjoy crowds and am focused on my studies, I never participate in Cameron's gambling or other activities. Therefore, for the [Adjudication], I used a [non-intelligent processor] that I brought in from outside."

Su Luo: "..."

He always thought Wang Fujian was normal.

So, from Wang Fujian's perspective, the academy's [Adjudication] are all walking cups.

"This thing only has a basic combat mode and a special mode. I don't usually have any combat scenarios in the Laboratory, so it usually just Jingjing follows me around automatically. When the special mode isn't activated, it's just a lump of fluff."

"But that day, when I was processing data in the Laboratory, I was thinking about how I hadn't brought the data I had done in another Laboratory, and someone handed me the data."

"The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. When I checked the experiment replay, I found that it was [Adjudication] that gave it to me... Moreover, I noticed that its limbs were becoming increasingly slender, looking like its feet were bound, and its color was also getting whiter. It was originally pinkish-white, but recently it has turned into a cool white."

After recalling the events, Wang Fujian asked, "Lecturer, do you think it's possible that it became sentient from too much refinement?"

"No, you're being too sensitive."

Su Luo casually dismissed Wang Fujian, then stood still and summoned Yun Xiaoxiao over, holding her in her hand and examining her for a while.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"Have you been having any strange feelings lately? Do you feel like you're about to turn from an animal into a human?" Su Luo asked.

Yun Xiaoxiao: "..."

"I'm a human being! The cats you see now are just being defined by your perception!"

Influenced by [Adrian]' Cognitive Manifestation rules, Yun Xiaoxiao's physical form in the real world also solidifies into that of a cat.

Most people's [Adjudication] actually look the same as the original [Adjudication], because they already had a corresponding understanding before they came to [Adrian].

Yun Xiaoxiao was anchored by Su Luo's preconceived notions.

So why did Su Luo think that [Adjudication] looked like a cat?

Su Luo stared at Yun Xiaoxiao, her perception shifting as she tried to revert her image back to Yun Xiaoxiao's original virtual persona.

The surrounding scenery changed slowly, but Yun Xiaoxiao's appearance remained unchanged.

After a while, Su Luo stopped altering her perception and spoke:

"Okay, I understand. You'll stay by my side from now on."

Su Luo turned around and placed the fragmented World Will on the experimental table. Then, she asked Xiao Luo, who was searching for past information in the academy's information network, to check Joyce's [Adjudication].

Then, Su Luo looked at Yun Xiaoxiao:

"Don't just sit idly by my side; keep an eye on the Library's knowledge base."

Afterwards, Su Luo buried herself in dissecting the World Will.

If we don't dissect it now, we really won't have the conditions to do it later. Su Luo herself doesn't have such good conditions, so she can only use it very roughly, such as eating it directly.

The entire academy is undergoing a subtle but profound transformation.

The concept of Wizards is reviving in a bizarre way.

Su Luo could only use the word "revival" to describe it, because he suspected that [Adrian Academy] had a deep connection with Wizards in the past.

Su Luo's arrival in this world, carrying the concept of Wizard, triggered a switch, and the entire academy began to change.

Of course, this may also correspond to the warning marked at the beginning of the Career Advancement Dungeon:

[Dungeon Duration: No Limit]

[Note: There will be a penalty for taking too long to advance.]

There may be no upper limit, but if you stay too long, you'll likely be assimilated.

Ye Zizhen had previously said that it would be quite an achievement to die in the Career Advancement Dungeon.

The probability of Su Luo dying here is indeed not high.

At worst, you'll only have one option when Class Change.

Su Luo opened the survival log announcement and focused on the [World-Class Buff] section.

The reason for this is simple: if three Rainbow Badge appear in the world, the second bonus effect of the Seven-Colored will be triggered.

There was no second buff, indicating that no more than two Survivors have finished the [Career Advancement Dungeon], and the vast majority of Survivors have not yet finished the [Career Advancement Dungeon].

After thinking for a moment, Su Luo opened the World Channel again.

[(Gold Badge) Su Luo: Don't you guys feel something's off with the [Career Advancement Dungeon]?]

[Jiang Mengrui (Gold Badge): Yes, the waves on my side of the [Boundless Sea] are getting bigger and bigger, sometimes even capsizing my small boat...]

[(Career Advancement Dungeon -Seven-Colored Mark) Ye Fan: Something's definitely not right. It seems the penalty for the excessively long duration isn't as generous as we thought. The penalty will start to appear after about fifteen days. Everyone should try to find a balance between the benefits and the penalties. If you need to leave, then leave. Don't be greedy.]

"It seems the root cause of the anomaly is the Dungeon penalty triggered by prolonged stay... Then that means the Survival System's power is still intact."

Su Luo calmed herself down and began to concentrate on dissecting the World Will.

First, sever the World Will from external perception, and incidentally sterilize it.

About two days later, Su Luo stopped.

On the experimental table, the World Will has been dismantled into fragments.

Due to time constraints, Su Luo didn't have the patience to brainwash the World Will into becoming one of her own, so she resorted to short-sighted methods.

"The World Will is a collection of information, rules, and consciousness."

Su Luo held several orbs of light in her hand.

Of these, three are Karma and one is Merit, all of which are ownerless.

I'll save this as material.

At the same time, we extract a large amount of experience in deducing Self-Consistent Paths from the World Will.

Incorporating the [Source Essence Circulation Technique] is enough to elevate the grade of this technique once again.

Because once an abnormal variable appears in the world, the Small World will automatically initiate repairs, and the World Will can actively guide this repair process.

Recovery rate +1

In addition, Su Luo felt that the most useful and important ability was energy level Suppression.

Limiting the upper limit of power within a certain range severely suppresses the combat strength of the strong within, which is equivalent to a kind of Energy-Level Lock.

For Su Luo, this means an increased effectiveness of ambushing enemies.

Stealth ability +1

For those weaker than Su Luo, their strength can be directly weakened; the weaker the opponent, the greater the reduction.

The [Suppression Domain] that Su Luo hastily created turned children with twenty Attributes into ordinary people, and ordinary people into dust.

It can be considered a weakened version of a [Killing Rule], and Su Luo now has a counter-strategy in his hands.

Su Luo believes that combining [Constant Spell] with [Suppression Domain] might allow them to create a rudimentary form of [Law]...
