Gu Ding bent down and picked up the watch. "This is the Smart Watch used by pirates?"
Ordinary Civilian Smart Watches were something every Federation citizen had. They only possessed a few simple functions, such as communication and networking. Gu Ding was no exception. He already wore a Smart Watch on his left wrist. It had been included when Old Dad registered his adoption with the Federal Government's population management department after finding him.
However, ordinary Civilian Smart Watches differed from military watches and those used by Interstellar Pirates. Military watches could connect to military networks, record military merits, and purchase military supplies. Pirate watches had similar functions, allowing access to the Black Market Network to purchase goods and information.
However, all Smart Watches shared the same protective function. Once they left their host without the host's consent, all information would be automatically erased, irreversibly formatted, and the power supply cut off. To use a watch whose owner had died again, it could only be returned to the Federal Government for registration and activation. The watch would retain no information about its previous owner.
Although he knew it probably would not work, Gu Ding still decided to give it a try and put the watch on his right wrist.
"Beep. Host detected."
The sudden voice startled Gu Ding. Logically speaking, once the owner of a Smart Watch died, it should not react at all when worn by someone else unless it had been re-registered and activated.
Name: Gu Ding Gender: Male Age: 15 Gene Level: Tier One Special Ability: Not Awakened Cell Comprehensive Index: 10 Mental Power Index: 9.8 Combat Talent: B+ Comprehension: A Potential: Unable to Determine Warning: Abnormal Gene Condition! Test Result: Qualified
After the series of tests was complete, Gu Ding felt a sharp pain at his wrist. He knew the Smart Watch was drawing blood to recognize him as its owner.
The moment the ownership recognition was complete, an abrupt voice sounded beside Gu Ding's ear. It sounded like a little boy. "That woman is only playing dead. If you are still standing here in 1 minute and 32 seconds, there is a 97.65% chance that she will kill you on the spot, a 2.11% chance that she will capture and take you away alive, a 0.24% chance that you will be severely injured and permanently disabled, and a 0% chance that you will escape successfully."
"Who?" Gu Ding asked, but his feet did not slow down in the slightest as he quickly left the scene. He had already witnessed how formidable that crazy woman was. She was not someone he could handle in his current state.
"I am the 'Smart Watch' on your right hand. Also, by the way, that baby toy on your left hand can retire now. There is a trash bin 76 meters ahead after you turn right. Just throw it in there. I have already cleaned up all your information." As soon as the voice fell silent, the Civilian Smart Watch Gu Ding had worn for more than fifteen years automatically slipped off his left wrist.
Gu Ding casually caught it and tossed it into the trash bin, unable to stop himself from muttering in confusion, "An Interstellar Pirate's Smart Watch is actually this intelligent..."
"First, I must thank you for the compliment. My intelligence is beyond the reach of any living or nonliving thing in the universe where you reside. Second, I must correct two of your mistakes. That Interstellar Pirate was not my owner. And I am not a Smart Watch. I merely disguised my appearance as one. In fact, I am a Super Intelligence lifeform, the same type of lifeform as your Heaven." As the little boy's voice sounded again, the watch on Gu Ding's right hand suddenly transformed into metallic fluid and wound around his left hand before solidifying once more, becoming identical to the Civilian Smart Watch Gu Ding had worn before.
What happened gave Gu Ding a new understanding of the thing on his wrist. Artificial intelligence services could be purchased for a hefty price through Smart Watches. But no Smart Watch could possibly transform, much less move on its own. If it was a lifeform similar to Heaven, then everything could be explained.
Although Gu Ding did not know much about Heaven, he knew that the entire Federal Government operated with Heaven's assistance. The operation of all products such as Smart Watches and Smart Rings was controlled by Heaven. Even the underground network of the Interstellar Pirates was actually only a special region within Heaven. In this era, Heaven could be said to be everywhere and capable of anything.
"What functions do you have?" Gu Ding still had some doubts about the other party's boasting. After all, Heaven's power was universally known. If the watch in his hand truly was a Super Intelligence like Heaven, then its capabilities would be unimaginable.
"I am currently in the initial activation stage. In human terms, I am still in infancy, very young. Many functions are restricted, and a large number of permissions in my database cannot be activated."
"Due to insufficient permissions, aside from the basic functions of an intelligent brain, I currently possess two additional functions. The first is called the Universal Key. It can unlock everything sealed in the universe, including all Federal Government prison gates, military databases, network permissions, Gene Locks, various energy seals, and even the restrictions of ancient civilization ruins. However, this function currently only has basic permissions and can only unlock things related to networks."
"The second function is more practical for you at the moment. It is an information database containing a vast amount of materials left behind by various ancient civilizations. Of course, it currently only has basic permissions as well, but it should be enough for you."
"Do you have tutorials for pharmacists?" Gu Ding could not help asking.
"Of course. These materials have been preserved very well. At the very least, they can train you into a Gene Serum Grandmaster."
"A Gene Serum Grandmaster!" Gu Ding's eyes lit up.
Even in this age of interstellar exploration, Gene Serum was an extremely precious commodity. Even the lowest-grade qualified F-rank Gene Serum could sell for several thousand Star Coins. Converted into Deep Sea Star's currency, that was several million. It was enough for an ordinary civilian family to live carefree for a lifetime. Gu Ding's current monthly salary was only five Star Coins.
"Looks like I need to find some time to study properly. Even ordinary pharmacists can make money, not to mention Gene Serum pharmacists. And it does not conflict with becoming an Interstellar Pirate." Gu Ding muttered softly for a moment, then suddenly frowned. "Can you access the military network or the underground Black Market Network?"
Although most materials for Gene Serum could be bought, some special materials could only be obtained by the military or Interstellar Pirates. Civilian Smart Watches could not access military or black market networks either, which was why Gu Ding asked the question.
"I seized the Smart Watch on the hand of that woman who was playing dead, which allowed me to successfully enter the Black Market Network. I also gained some unexpected rewards. I can give them to you as a meeting gift."
"A gift? What is it?" Gu Ding immediately showed intense interest.
"That woman's Storage Space, along with everything inside it." The Super Intelligence sounded slightly smug as it spoke.
The so-called Storage Space was actually a spatial storage technology developed by Heaven. It connected every watch to a small space, with the watch serving as the key to open it. Once the owner of a watch died and the watch could no longer detect the host's vital signs, it would enter an abnormal state of deep sleep. Once the watch fell off, the Storage Space would automatically collapse, and the items inside would scatter into Space Turbulence and be instantly shredded. What the Super Intelligence had done was hijack Heaven's detection during the watch's dormant period, seize the watch of the woman who was playing dead, and take everything over.
Under the Super Intelligence's control, everything in the Storage Space appeared before Gu Ding.
"What a huge space!" Gu Ding could not help exclaiming.
The initial Storage Space in an ordinary Civilian Smart Watch was only one cubic meter. Expanding it required an additional purchase, and enlarging a Storage Space cost a great deal of money. Yet the Storage Space before Gu Ding was nearly twenty cubic meters. More than half of those twenty cubic meters had already been occupied by various items, leaving only an estimated three or four cubic meters of capacity.
"I merged the one cubic meter you originally had into it as well, and placed all the items together. Do you need to clear out the useless items?" The Super Intelligence was referring to the colorful women's underwear and other such things.
In only a moment, it threw all the useless items into Space Turbulence, disposing of them completely.
"Do you have a name?" Gu Ding could not help asking. Since the other party claimed to be a Super Intelligence, Gu Ding guessed it should have a designation like Heaven.
Asked that question, the Super Intelligence fell silent for a moment. "I searched the existing data. According to the information, I should not have been used before, nor was I given a name. As my first owner, give me one."
"All right. My dream is to one day become a great Interstellar Pirate and sail through the Universe Sea with my companions. I'll call you Sea Emperor." After pondering for a moment, Gu Ding made his suggestion.
