Chen Li: I Thought We Were Brothers, but You Want to Surpass Me?! (9k)

I wonder if there are any Miraculous Item that can "transcend" the world?

"So, whoever you connect with now can observe the world from a global perspective?" The Great Herta's eyes lit up.

"That's how it is in theory, but what do you want to do?"

"Of course I have to share this good news with my best friend. You wait here, I'll go tell Ruan Mei right now."

"Holy crap, calm down."

"I can't calm down at all."

Although Great Herta was very agitated at the moment, Great Herta calmed down after Chen Li banned Great Herta's Friends Circle account.

"Speaking of which, Chen Li, wouldn't you be considered a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh now?" the Great Herta, forced to calm down, asked.

"It's somewhat similar, because you can all use me to observe the world, but I can't do it myself," Chen Li sighed.

"Why? Can't you observe the world yourself? That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Because I've overclocked. I 'Taiyi from you. You can only see what's displayed in front of you through me, but after I received the Glance of the Equilibrium Aeon and gained the ability to see [connections], I see much more. And that information is meaningless to me, and the amount is ridiculously large..."

"I understand. It's like how some people experience temporary amnesia due to a self-protective mechanism after being greatly frightened. Because you see too much, your body automatically limits its ability to see the world in order to block out most of the meaningless information?" The Great Herta understood Chen Li's explanation.

"That's right. Moreover, being able to see this information from a global perspective is one problem, and being able to understand this information is another. Since we can't understand it even if we see it, it's better not to see it at all." Chen Li nodded.

Chen Li can integrate into the "world," but Chen Li is ultimately not the "world" and cannot bear such a large amount of information.

Chen Li's CPU almost burned out.

The information was so chaotic that it was as if a billion tiny Herta figurine were shouting, "Ms. Herta is unparalleled in the world! Ms. Herta is exceptionally intelligent! Ms. Herta fall from the sky!"

It's not only meaningless, but also very noisy.

However, Chen Li didn't know that she could also be used as a travel adapter.

Dude, is this reasonable?

Although he could spend time understanding and familiarizing himself with this information to gain benefits, Chen Li would rather use that time to directly create a Miraculous Item.

Developing this skill takes a long time.

In the supernatural world, people who can't see ghosts are curious about them, but when they actually gain the ability to see ghosts, they feel like they would have been better off blind.

Chen Li was even considering whether he should create a Miraculous Item that would allow others to share his burdens.

In that case, if I ever dislike someone, I can just overclock them and let them experience what it's like to burn out their CPU.

"Alright, let's put this experiment aside for now. It's time to experiment with what it feels like to be hated by the world." The Great Herta looked at Chen Li.

"If you choose to court death, I will not be responsible for any consequences," Chen Li warned.

Chen Li has already tasted the deliciousness of the Great Herta, so he can make the world despise it.

"At worst, I'll just have Little Herta watch ads to revive me." Great Herta quite decisively passed the burden to Little Herta.

"Alright then, Great Herta, go get me something to eat."

"I don't want to." The Great Herta shook its head.

"Buzz!"

The Great Herta instantly sensed a peculiar buzzing sound, but it seemed like an illusion, vanishing in a flash.

"Is that all?" the Great Herta confirmed again.

"That's good. Experience the enhanced version of the Silent Lord. Being hated by the world must be unpleasant." Chen Li stood up and patted the Great Herta on the shoulder.

"Thud." The sofa where the Great Herta was sitting suddenly collapsed, causing the Great Herta to fall backward.

Chen Li tried to grab the Great Herta, reaching out, but only managed to grab the Great Herta's... chest area.

Seeing the sudden appearance of spring light, Chen Li chose to let go.

"Bang!"

"Chen Li, why did you let go?" The Great Herta, whose face was covered by his hat, took off the hat, covered his head, and glared at Chen Li.

Because the Great Herta's hat obscured its vision, it was unclear what Chen Li saw; it only felt a pulling sensation.

"Maybe... you shouldn't try it," Chen Li advised kindly.

"No. It's just a fall, I can handle it."

"You can't reason with a damned ghost. Come on, at least stay by my side. If you can't take it anymore, you can tell me right away. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the Friends Circle Terminal gets damaged, you won't be able to stop it even if you want to." Chen Li sighed.

"Okay. So where do we go next? Shall we go back to your room to sleep? You didn't sleep at all last night."

"Who do you think I stayed up all night because of?"

"You can't blame me for that, after all, your massage was really comfortable. Hmm, that's it." The Great Herta nodded to himself.

"Now it's time to go back to my real home and wait for the new Heaven's Lost Property to arrive. Judging by the time, it should be almost here," Chen Li said after glancing at the clock in the living room.

"No problem." The Great Herta nodded.

The Great Herta simply wants to make the world hate it; it doesn't matter which world it is.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li reached out his hand to the Herta.

"Oh, so you've started paying attention to your image and learning gentlemanly manners?" The Great Herta confidently placed his hand on Chen Li's hand.

"Come on, I want your hat. Don't you really like this hat? You'll definitely be angry if it gets damaged by accident. So you should just give it to me for safekeeping," Chen Li said.

Chen Li was so considerate because it was, after all, the Great Herta that Chen Li had cursed.

Women can be unreasonable when they get angry. Great Herta may be different as a genius, but Chen Li doesn't want to gamble.

"No wonder you manage to attract so many bad women every day. But no need, I want to see if [the World] can snatch this hat from my hands," the Great Herta said confidently.

Friends, this is a huge gamble!

"And even if the protection fails, you're still here, aren't you? Protect me well, and I'll reward you." The Great Herta patted Chen Li on the shoulder.

"You were the one who was courting death, so why am I the one going against the world?"

"There's a reward!"

"What reward?"

"For example... you can be all lovey-dovey with Sirin right in front of me?"

"You should save that reward to tempt Sirin," Chen Li said, rolling his eyes at the Great Herta.

How could Chen Li possibly be interested in something like that?

If it were Chen Li, of course it would be...

[Of course I want them all!]

Chapter 241 Chen Li: I treated you all as brothers, and you actually wanted to surpass me? (9k)

"Today's random Heaven's Lost Property is... a cat?" Chen Li's gaze fell on the familiar hole in the ceiling.

At the edge of the cave, a calico cat was peeking down into Chen Li's room.

After Chen Li and the Great Herta appeared, it seemed to trigger some kind of switch on the calico cat, which immediately leaped down...

"Herta, be careful! The terms on this cat are very bright." Chen Li warned, seeing that the cat wasn't charging at him but instead lunging towards the Great Herta.

Before touching the other party, Chen Li could only vaguely see the brightness of the other party's entry, but could not see the specific content of the entry.

"Just a calico cat..." After calculating the cat's landing point, Great Herta directly reached out his hand towards the cat's inevitable path.

The Great Herta wasn't underestimating the development potential of these Heaven's Lost Property. Rather, according to Great Herta analysis, all the world-destroying seeds that appeared in Chen Li's room were just seeds, easily manipulated before they could fully develop.

"..." Chen Li stood quietly to the side, watching the Great Herta.

Chen Li felt that the state of the Great Herta was very familiar.

They seem to be similar to the many brainless villains I encountered when I was caught in the Vortex of Destiny; they all seem to have their heads caught in a door and don't seem very smart.

In response, Chen Li commented that they had consumed too much of the Stupidity Halo).

As Chen Li expected, just as Great Herta was trying to catch the cat, the cat flew down from the ceiling and grabbed Great Herta's hand with its front paws, giving Great Herta a... Overhead Toss.

The Great Herta crashed to the ground with a thud, while the cat nimbly jumped onto Chen Li's bed and began licking its paws.

"???" The Great Herta, which had suddenly collapsed to the ground, was stunned for a moment.

What happened?

"Starting today, the probability of Wisdom Envoy being Overhead Toss a cat is very low, but it is no longer zero."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks and help me up."

Chen Li helped the Great Herta up, while the Great Herta stared intently at the calico cat, as if it had sensed something.

The Great Herta was extremely cautious, probing back and forth...

The Great Herta saw Chen Li subdue the calico cat by the scruff of its neck.

"It's... that simple?" The Great Herta was somewhat skeptical.

The Great Herta felt that the calico cat was preparing a powerful attack, but why was it only used on itself?

"It's that simple. Want to know what the keywords on this calico cat are?" Chen Li asked, holding the cat in one hand.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."

"[Luck], [Weakness], [Disguise], [Contempt], [Inversion], [Reincarnation]..."

"A jumble of random terms." Great Herta frowned.

"It's really a mess. I can't guess what this cat's specific abilities are either, but it feels like it's a mechanic-based monster, and you just happen to fit that mechanic," Chen Li said.

"Aren't you able to observe objects from the perspective of the world? Why not give it a try? After all, these seeds of destruction are gifts from the world to you." The Great Herta had a good idea.

"It's less of a gift and more of a way for me to deal with all this troublesome stuff," Chen Li complained.

After learning that the highest level of Collective Consciousness he could awaken was called Heaven's Will, Chen Li wondered What If the world also possessed consciousness, then would it be impossible to directly interfere with or take action to resolve known problems, and would it be possible to resolve them only through induction?

Or there are limitations to personally taking action.

However, the world can manipulate probability to choose where these random things appear.

For example, at Chen Li's doorstep.

Just as the probability that a cat can use its Wisdom Envoy Overhead Toss is no longer zero, the probability that these random things will appear in Chen Li's house one after another due to coincidence is also not zero.

It's very small, but not zero.

The suggestion made by the Great Herta was very constructive, so Chen Li looked at the cat Zami in his hand again.

Overclocking mode, start!

Overclocking complete!

"Well? Did you notice anything unusual about this cat?" the Great Herta asked.

"I've seen too much, so much that I can't accurately filter out which piece of information explains the existence of this cat. But I should be able to use the 'Let Me Ask You' option to ask." Chen Li pulled out a Miracle Card.

Chen Li's experience was like asking someone their name and they saying that spaghetti should be mixed with No. 42 concrete and fried chicken should be cooked with No. 92 gasoline. After all, we can't use an optical lens to detect Socrates. If hydrogen dioxide continues to corrode this machine tool component, then sooner or later we'll have to install a collagen on the Fibonacci curve. Otherwise, we won't be able to change the superposition state of Mixue Ice Cream and Albek...

The answer lies within that information, but Chen Li has no desire to play a puzzle game!

"Don't rush to use the Miracle Card, perhaps... I have a plan!" The Great Herta's eyes lit up after hearing that Chen Li could see the information but gave up thinking about it because the information was too complicated.

"Stop with your little schemes." Chen Li a step back.

"Don't be so nervous. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, good boy..." The Great Herta pressed closer step by step.

"I'm afraid you'll bite my lip when you're having a bad day."

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle..."

Since the problem isn't a lack of information, but rather an overabundance of information, wouldn't it be better to find someone who can only focus on one specific issue?

The Great Herta lifted its chin again... This time, it was Chen Li who lifted the Great Herta's chin.

"Hmm, I see..." The Great Herta covered his mouth and said in a somewhat indistinct voice.

Chen Li has misunderstood the problem.
