In just a few short sentences, One had completely dissected the mechanical prosthetic.

"Wait?"

Chen Fan suddenly realized an important question: "What about those patterns?"

"Those mysterious patterns on the surface of the mechanical prosthetic, what purpose do they serve?"

Right, right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot!

One's tone became intense again: Do you know why I used that example just now?

This unit initially thought these patterns covering the surface of the mechanical prosthetic had some special function. After careful deduction, it discovered that this thing is the most outrageous!

These meaningless patterns engraved later directly destroyed the integrity of the shallow signal transmission lines of the mechanical prosthetic. Forget about any effect, it's a miracle this mechanical prosthetic can even function normally!

Chen Fan's eye twitched again.

"You mean... those seemingly mysterious and profound patterns might have been engraved later by the Church to increase the sense of mystery?"

Not might, but definitely.

Very good.

It perfectly matched the stereotype of a superstitious religious era in Chen Fan's mind.

One's voice came again:

Judging solely from this mechanical prosthetic, the civilization that manufactured it can at most be considered a Level 2 Civilization under the Human Alliance's standards.

"Level 2 Civilization?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan subconsciously frowned: "Level 2 Civilization... their strength shouldn't be weak, right?"

Although this mechanical prosthetic seemed useless in One's evaluation, Chen Fan still knew one thing: even the Earth civilization he was in during his previous life couldn't manufacture such an exquisite mechanical prosthetic!

...

One was silent for a moment, then responded in an extremely strange tone: ...Theoretically speaking, a Level 2 Civilization can be considered the most basic Interstellar Civilization.

Chen Fan: "...???"

In the Human Alliance's classification standards, a Level 2 Civilization has generally just gained control of its Home Star System and possesses a certain degree of Interstellar Navigation Capability.

"Wait, wait..."

"Then according to the Human Alliance's standards, what level of civilization should this deformed civilization and the Earth civilization I was in before I transmigrated be considered?"

This unit has read your surface thoughts. Judging solely from the memories in your brain, the Earth civilization you mentioned should belong to a Level 1.5 Civilization.

As for this civilization currently ruled by a God... as of now, it doesn't even count as a Level 1 Civilization.

"What about the Human Alliance? What level of civilization is the Human Alliance?"

This unit needs to correct you. The Human Alliance is an alliance composed of multiple advanced civilizations.

The dominant human civilization within the Human Alliance became a Level 9 Civilization tens of thousands of years ago.

Within the territory governed by the Human Alliance, Level 1 Civilizations are numerous, even exceeding the total number of stars in a conventional universe.

Chen Fan gasped.

One's words greatly exceeded his expectations.

He originally had little concept of the Human Alliance's strength, but now he completely understood!

He feared that in their eyes, both Earth civilization and this deformed civilization were no different from crawling insects on the ground!

Furthermore, this unit needs to remind you.

If this so-called God is a Level 2 Civilization with Interstellar Navigation Capability, your current situation will be quite dangerous.

"I know that, of course."

Chen Fan responded with a grim face.

Without any external constraints, what happens when a low-level civilization encounters a high-level civilization can actually be referenced by Columbus discovering the Americas.

Unless the disparity in strength is too great and the high-level civilization simply doesn't care about the low-level civilization's meager resources, otherwise... the low-level civilization will only face enslavement and plunder!

"I need to figure out the truth of this world as soon as possible!"

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at the God Statue hanging on the wall, then stood up from the chair with a gloomy face.

After waving his hand to close the holographic projection in front of him, he walked directly towards the closed door.

What are you planning to do?

One's synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind.

"Find Xu Huai."

Chen Fan replied: "She should know a lot of things."

In the living room.

As soon as he left the room, Chen Fan noticed his mother silently kneeling on the prayer mat in front of the God Statue.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her dry lips trembled slightly, as if she was silently reciting something.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice, "Mom, I need to see Sister Huai about something. I'm going out for a bit?"

His mother maintained her standard kneeling posture and did not respond to his somewhat questioning words.

After waiting for dozens of seconds without receiving a response, Chen Fan quietly walked around his mother, opened the door, and went out.

"Click..."

The sound of the door closing was particularly harsh in the silent living room.

In a place Chen Fan couldn't see, a few dry, shriveled veins popped out on his mother's clasped hands.

Clearly, her mood at this moment was not as calm as it appeared.

"Lord..."

A cloudy tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she murmured in a low, mournful voice.

On the other side.

The moment the door closed, One's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind.

Your mom has a problem.

"...Are you being polite?"

...I mean, your mom's state isn't quite right.

Although he knew what One meant, Chen Fan always felt something was strange.

"I can tell. She seems to have something on her mind."

This unit just observed her micro-expressions and some vital signs.

As the synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind, a holographic projection appeared before Chen Fan's eyes.

"Turn it off, quickly turn it off!!"

Chen Fan's face changed drastically. He quickly looked around, "It'll be bad if someone sees it!"

He didn't want to be treated as an anomaly!

Don't worry, this image is projected onto your retina and won't be detected by outsiders.

One said calmly, and the holographic projection before his eyes began to change accordingly.

It was only then that Chen Fan suddenly realized that unlike the previous holographic projection that was fixed in a specific area in front of him, this holographic projection would actively adjust its position and coverage as his perspective changed.

While you were speaking, your mom's heart rate increased sharply, and her facial micro-expressions also changed slightly. There were extremely slight signs of contraction in her eyebrows, and at the same time, there were slight signs of elevation in the upper eyelid area, and corresponding changes in her lips...

"Speak in plain language."

Preliminary judgment: Your mom's emotions were extremely unstable at the time. She was sad and guilty while also closely monitoring your movements.

"Sad? Guilty?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but freeze in place.

Analyzing all factors, this unit has reason to suspect that your identity has been exposed. At the very least, the other party is already confused about your true identity. The probability of this speculation exceeds 65.8%, making it the most likely speculation.
