Brain-Computer Interface

After waiting for a moment, Yi's voice sounded again:

The current sample size is too small to make an accurate judgment.

But you were right.

This unit has just conducted a comprehensive analysis of the holographic recording data and imported the relevant data of all the clergy you encountered into the analytical model.

It can be seen that the degree of Human Body Mechanization Modification was indeed directly proportional to clerical rank.

As the words fell, an azure holographic image appeared on his retina once more.

According to this unit's statistics, you have encountered a total of twenty-nine White Robe Deacons, five Black Robe Priests, and one Purple Robe Bishop so far.

Among them, most White Robe Deacons had relatively low degrees of facial mechanization, and a small number did not even have Mechanical Prosthetics.

There was too little observational data on the Black Robe Priests. At present, it could only be determined that Quinton's limbs and face had undergone mechanization modification.

There was naturally no need to say anything about the Purple Robe Bishop.

Excluding the Black Robe Priests and the Purple Robe Bishop, Carlisle was the clergyman with the highest degree of mechanization modification.

This unit believes that this may be related to his age and seniority.

As Yi continued speaking, a complex data model gradually emerged in the holographic projection before him, clearly marking every mechanical organ possessed by each clergyman.

Chen Fan could not help but sigh inwardly at the scene before him, visible to no one but himself.

He naturally knew how tedious and complicated it was to sort through such vague data and information!

Without Yi's help, he would probably have had to rely solely on experience to make judgments, which would inevitably lead to errors and oversights.

But now, with the support of such exhaustive real-time analytical data, the accuracy of his judgments would rise by several levels!

Just as Yi had said from the beginning, its powerful basic computational abilities could help him solve quite a few problems!

"The Third Divine Decree ceremony is about to begin. All God Chosen, please enter the Holy Seats as soon as possible."

The Bishop's heavily mechanical synthesized voice interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts.

Under his gaze, the Bishop strode toward him with a gleaming iron skull.

"Chen Fan, this is your first time listening to a divine decree, so there may be some things you don't understand..."

Before he could finish, Chen Fan took the initiative and sat in the nearest chair.

It was not because he wanted to take the initiative.

That steel forehead and iron mouth opening and closing were simply too unnerving.

Besides, considering that he currently had almost no power to resist, he might as well be proactive and earn himself a better impression.

With that in mind, before the Bishop could speak, Chen Fan placed the so-called Holy Crown on his head and properly rested both hands on the armrests beside him.

Traces of coolness seeped from the electrodes inside the Holy Crown, penetrating his thick hair and reaching his scalp.

"You..."

The Bishop stared blankly at Chen Fan before him, then raised a mechanical hand and lightly scratched his smooth iron skull.

Creak, creak...

The somewhat piercing scratching sound rang through the quiet room, carrying an inexplicable sense of eeriness.

Chen Fan's move had genuinely left him at a loss.

He had seen proactive ones before, but never one this proactive—under normal circumstances, God Chosen listening to a divine decree for the first time would feel at least a little afraid.

It was like Lord Ye's love of dragons: actually meeting the god one had worshipped for years would inevitably bring some fear and unease.

"Cough..."

Realizing that his behavior had been somewhat unusual, Chen Fan coughed softly and decisively shifted all the blame onto Gao Yuan beside him. "Well, Old Gao already told me the steps for listening to the divine decree."

The Bishop turned his head, his red-glowing Mechanical Eye looking toward Gao Yuan, who was skillfully putting on the Holy Crown.

"Uh..." Gao Yuan blinked and guiltily averted his gaze. "Bishop, I did tell Chen Fan about it..."

The Bishop said nothing and merely turned back around in silence.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, he revealed a satisfied, kindly smile and nodded slightly.

Though it was an iron skull, Chen Fan could still make out the faintest trace of expression on it.

With the Bishop's help, Chen Fan's hands were firmly strapped to the chair's armrests.

Yi, is this thing dangerous?

Only then did Chen Fan belatedly feel a trace of fear. This Brain-Computer Interface... it won't kill me, will it?

Rest assured. This unit has already conducted simulated tests.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of it causing an experimental subject's accidental death is only one in a hundred thousand. Although that falls far short of the Human Federation's production standards, it can still be considered a safe product.

Chen Fan immediately panicked. ...So it really can kill people?!

Up ahead, after confirming the condition of every God Chosen, the Bishop's expression gradually grew calm.

Then, he clasped his hands together and offered a prayer to the deity in a chant-like tone.

As the prayer continued, a slight prickling pain came from Chen Fan's scalp.

The divine decree had begun!

A blurry image slowly emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

Unlike the scene Gao Yuan had described, Chen Fan did not feel any dizziness. In fact, he was extremely clear-headed the moment the image appeared!

He could even still "see" the azure holographic projection that should have been displayed on his retina!

Apologies. This unit forgot something important.

This unit's method of exchanging information with you is likewise based on brainwave interference technology.

The familiar Electronic Synthesized Voice suddenly rang out in Chen Fan's mind.

W-What do you mean?

For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly arose in Chen Fan's heart.

Under this unit's influence, your brain's threshold for brainwave interference may have been significantly raised.

Simply put...

This inferior Brain-Computer Interface may be unable to "hypnotize" your mind.

The instant those words fell, a terrible voice like a broken gong rang out in his mind. "Child, come here..."

The next second, a shoddy character model appeared in the blurry image.

If he had to make a comparison...

The Holographic Interface provided by Yi was probably equivalent to 8K resolution.

The image brought by the Holy Crown was basically equivalent to 144P!

In fact, from Chen Fan's perspective, the gap between the two was only more outrageous!

As for the gap between that shoddy Goddess model and the holographic model Yi provided...

It was probably equivalent to the difference between the character models in the latest AAA blockbuster and those in a Little Tyrant game console.

How did that saying go again?

I could have endured the darkness, had I never seen the sun.

Chen Fan stared expressionlessly at the low-quality CG endlessly advancing through his mind, his heart filled with boundless complaints.
