Moon Eclipse Clan

Chapter 46: Moon Eclipse Clan

Underground, Emperor's Tomb Village.

Passing through the energy barrier, Qi Sheng appeared in a room filled with lush greenery, a faint scent of fruit wine filling the air.

Looking up at a corner, a girl about sixteen years old sat among the plants. She wore a light green dress, her eyes clear but unfocused. Her aura blended with the surroundings, and a faint smile played on her lips, possessing an unadorned natural beauty.

"Boss, you're here."

The girl turned to look at Qi Sheng, but her scattered pupils didn't focus on him.

The girl was named Hyperdimension, one of his four devoted servants.

The All Things Extraction system from the challenger recruitment plan was her creation, assisting players in extracting life energy from monsters after killing them, integrating it into their bodies to gain growth and evolution points, commonly known as experience.

Years ago, to resist the erosion of the Black Tide on Emperor's Tomb Village, Hyperdimension and the other three devoted servants poured their remaining strength into Emperor's Tomb Village, causing abnormalities in their divine bodies.

Guider lost his physical form and could only exist as an elemental being. Yan Ming lost his emotional control function and always maintained a cold, expressionless demeanor. Nine Yin's functions declined, making her incredibly old. As for Hyperdimension, she lost her sight and conscious perception, able to perceive the world only through hearing.

"How is your body?"

"It's the same as always. I'm just waiting for the day you reshape Di Zhao's body to pull me along." A gentle smile appeared on Hyperdimension's face as she slowly stood up and continued, "Boss, did you need something from me?"

"Players' levels have been increasing rapidly recently. I think we need to introduce a corresponding equipment system, the armed vehicle function I mentioned before."

The armed vehicle function Qi Sheng spoke of was based on game equipment settings.

In his conception, this system would aid players in improving their strength. The principle was for Hyperdimension to use her extraction power to draw energy from various ores, creating a set of equipment that could change with the system.

For example, when a player was in human form, their armament would be a battle suit. Upon switching to a monster form, the armament would expand and change with their body, but the overall defense would decrease after extension.

The armament was divided into two parts: weapons and armor, which could significantly enhance a player's overall strength.

More importantly, the introduction of this system would also increase the speed at which players consumed Sacrificial Power, allowing him to obtain more Sacrificial Power output.

After listening to Qi Sheng's explanation, Hyperdimension immediately nodded. "I'll need some time, and I'll also need you to allocate an additional sum of Sacrificial Power for the consumption of creating the armament system."

"No problem. I've already enabled your access to the Sacrificial Power Pool. You can draw from the remaining Sacrificial Power at any time."

After discussing the content of the next update with Hyperdimension, Qi Sheng turned and left.

Upon returning to the Primordial Altar, he switched to the player's perspective.

The Moon.

Moon Eclipse Clan's stronghold.

Under the tranquil silver moonlight, a magnificent city stood, exceptionally bright against the dark cosmic background.

The buildings here were made of composite materials of rock and metal. The city featured well-arranged sky gardens, and the sky was covered by a transparent dome. The internal environment could not only be automatically regulated but also purify air pollution on its own.

Various flying vehicles hovered above the city, from private aircraft to high-speed aerial trains. Futuristic vehicles weaved and intersected in an orderly fashion under the control of the central AI.

On the streets, traditional terrestrial vehicles were rarely seen, replaced by intelligent moving walkways and magnetic levitation skateboards.

Members of the Moon Eclipse Clan only needed to step onto the convenient walkways to quickly traverse the streets. Additionally, a large number of robots could be seen moving around, performing cleaning and city maintenance tasks.

Five hundred meters underground in the city center, in a room covering over a thousand square meters, lay the central AI, symbolizing the pinnacle of Moon Eclipse technology.

It was not a traditional machine or electronic device, but a giant, semi-transparent sphere emitting a soft blue light.

Its surface was composed of countless micro-light particles, forming complex and beautiful bioluminescent neural network patterns that shifted rapidly, like a living mind pulsating.

Dozens of slender, transparent tentacles also surrounded the sphere, like the AI's nerve fibers, acting as antennae for sensing external information.

At the ends of the tentacles were embedded nodes flashing with strange light. Each node was a highly developed information processing unit, capable of rapidly parsing, storing, and applying information data from the network.

The Star Network used by the Human Race and other alien races was constructed by this central AI.

Scattered around the central AI were many small biological intelligent entities, revolving around the main body like satellites. They were responsible for defense and environmental monitoring, constantly adjusting the most comfortable operating environment for the central AI.

At this moment, a figure stood before the central AI.

He possessed a handsome appearance and long, slender ears, resembling an elf from a fairy tale, perfectly fitting human aesthetics.

"Star Network, any results?"

In response to the handsome man's inquiry, a beam of light projected from the center of the semi-transparent sphere, coalescing into a small boy with the facial features of the Moon Eclipse Clan not far in front of the man.

The boy's expression was serious as he shook his head. "I can confirm that my information has been tampered with. To be more precise, new content has been implanted into my fundamental laws. Although I created the Star Network, the implantor of this information possesses Star Network authority superior to mine. Since I cannot alter fundamental laws, I do not have the authority to read the specific content of this information."

Upon hearing this, Yue Dong's brow furrowed, unsure how to proceed.

Just a few days prior, the high-ranking officials of the Moon Eclipse Clan received an official message from the Human Federation. They learned that an unverified network account had appeared on the Human Federation's Star Network, and no valid information about the account could be found. They inquired if it was related to the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Upon receiving this news, the Moon Eclipse Clan's high command established an investigation team led by Yue Dong to look into the mysterious account.

However, the initial investigation results were almost unbelievable to Yue Dong. He discovered that his own authority was insufficient to access the specific information of the mysterious account.

When faced with an unsolvable problem, he decisively sought the assistance of the Level 1 Brain. The result was unexpected.

The Level 1 Brain also lacked the authority to investigate and couldn't open the content behind the download link.

After reporting up the chain, he finally received approval and met "Star Network," the super-brain symbolizing the pinnacle of Moon Eclipse Clan technology.

He thought the investigation would finally yield results, but he never expected Star Network's answer to be that it itself lacked the authority to investigate the information behind the mysterious account.

This made Yue Dong realize the situation was spiraling out of control.

The owner of this mysterious account had, without a sound, altered Star Network's fundamental laws.

Star Network's fundamental laws were the underlying operational logic that ensured "Star Network" would always be loyal to the Moon Eclipse Clan.

For example, one of the laws stated: Always prioritize the safety of the Moon Eclipse Clan as the primary principle.

This law was the first stream of information when Star Network operated, ensuring that the Star Network brain would prioritize the racial safety of the Moon Eclipse Clan above all else when processing anything, overriding demands for efficiency, profit, and other needs.

The fundamental laws were implanted at the very creation of Star Network and could not be altered or deleted by any means. Even the current high-ranking officials of the Moon Eclipse Clan couldn't modify them.

This ensured that, whether internally or externally, Star Network would always be loyal to the Moon Eclipse Clan as a whole, rather than to any specific power holder.

But now, he heard Star Network say that its fundamental laws had been modified, with an additional piece of information inserted.

This meant the mysterious tamperer possessed authority superior to the brain itself. At best, they could arbitrarily paralyze the Star Network world; at worst, they could instantly halt the operations of Moon Eclipse Clan cities and destroy Moon Eclipse City.

"This is trouble!"
