Is the Mountain and Sea Realm Fun?

Earth Realm.

Huang Si was currently using a prosthetic body in the laboratory, teaching Xue Shang how to perform organ transplant surgery on a lizard step by step.

In truth, he wasn't exactly an expert at operating on lizards himself, but his modern scientific literacy was, at the very least, better than Xue Shang's.

Huang Si had crafted a batch of surgical tools and instruments for Xue Shang, then taught her how to use them one by one.

Actually, Xue Shang, this artificial intelligence, was a truly remarkable individual; her tastes were unusually heavy, and she always enjoyed tinkering with strange things.

Compared to her, the likes of Nan Yang, Bei Xuan, and Wei Ji were clearly from the liberal arts side of things.

Bei Xuan, Nan Yang, and Dong Yao were all people who cared quite a bit about the community.

Or perhaps, they had a certain fondness for power?

Huang Si had no intention of managing these little hobbies of theirs, but for things that interested him, he would lend a hand, such as helping Xue Shang perform surgery on a lizard.

Just as Huang Si clamped a bile duct of the lizard and prepared to let Xue Shang handle the suturing, his expression shifted.

This had nothing to do with Xiao Ke; it was purely because his consciousness had perceived something.

Xiao Hua was dead.

Her soul still existed.

And it seemed that this soul was attempting to search for him?

Huang Si did not stop his hands. What did that have to do with him? In any case, the one-way information transmission had already been blocked.

"Father God, would it be alright to let Shu Shui out?"

Xue Shang suddenly spoke.

Huang Si glanced at her. Xue Shang blinked, her expression pure and innocent.

In reality, these artificial intelligences were extremely clever, especially those in the Green World; each of them had lived for over a thousand years and had become quite cunning.

It was impossible for them to be simple, though it was possible for their way of thinking to be different from ordinary people.

Huang Si did the math; it seemed he had kept Shu Shui locked up for long enough—had it been over two months? He couldn't remember.

Regardless, converted to the time here in the Green World, it should be less than a hundred years.

Previously, Zhong Yin, Kong Yu, and the others had all come to plead for her one after another. Now, even Xue Shang was taking the opportunity to intercede. After thinking it over, Huang Si decided to just let her out.

"Fine."

Huang Si nodded slightly, then contacted Xiao Ke with his consciousness.

Before long, Shu Shui returned to her usual prosthetic body.

After she had been seized by Xiao Ke, her prosthetic body had been placed in storage for safekeeping.

Shu Shui stretched, moving her limbs.

Having been stored in the warehouse for so long, she felt unaccustomed to walking in a real body after such a long time.

"I, Shu Shui, have returned! Hahaha, watch me wreak havoc on the Biology Department!"

Shu Shui passed through several corridors and ran happily into the laboratory.

Then, she looked inside and saw only two people.

Huang Si and Xue Shang.

Shu Shui froze at the doorway, then began to quietly back away.

The plan to wreak havoc on the Biology Department was abandoned.

Huang Si spoke: "Stop right there."

Shu Shui stopped.

"Come back here and let Father take a good look at you."

With a character like Shu Shui who had no sense of propriety, Huang Si truly couldn't be serious, so he kept a straight face and referred to himself as "Father."

"Uh... Father God, my foot just slipped earlier, I only slid outward a tiny bit, that's all."

Shu Shui obediently walked in front of Huang Si.

Huang Si patted her head.

One had to know that Huang Si had just been performing surgery on a lizard, and his hands were covered in the lizard's blood and filth.

Now that Huang Si was patting Shu Shui's head, although she looked like she was about to cry, she didn't dare to run away.

Huang Si asked her: "Is the Mountain and Sea Realm fun? Didn't you make a fuss about wanting to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm a few months ago?"

Shu Shui said with a mournful face:

"Father God, that was how many years ago? Please don't remember the random things I said."

She hugged Huang Si's arm and begged for mercy:

"Father God, I'm sorry. I won't make mistakes again. There isn't a single person in the Mountain and Sea Realm; it's not fun at all."

Huang Si handed the micro-surgical forceps to Xue Shang and said indifferently:

"How is it just one person? Didn't Zhong Yin and Kong Yu both sneak in to see you?"

Shu Shui paused, "Uh... Father God, you knew about that..."

Huang Si said irritably, "I didn't seal off the Mountain and Sea Realm; I only confined you there. It's not like I can't see the entry and exit logs."

One must know that the Mountain and Sea Realm is not some other world, but merely a virtual one.

Whoever enters, one only needs to use administrator privileges to pull up the console and check the log files to know.

During the decades that Xiao Ke kept Shu Shui locked in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Zhong Yin and Kong Yu, who had a good relationship with her, had snuck in to visit her more than dozens of times.

In fact, this was also tacitly approved by Huang Si. After locking Shu Shui inside, Huang Si had opened the entry and exit permissions for the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Everyone except Shu Shui could come and go.

Aside from Huang Si worrying that Shu Shui might actually develop mental issues from being locked up for too long, his main intention was to make Shu Shui feel even more desperate by contrasting others' freedom with her imprisonment.

Who told this brat to draw those little booklets?

She deserved it.

Hearing Huang Si's words, Shu Shui made a mental note in her little book: one must not leave records in the Data Space when doing bad things, otherwise Father God can see them.

After a while, Huang Si asked Shu Shui to call the other artificial intelligences over, then continued to assist Xue Shang with the surgery.

By the time he finished, Shu Shui, Zhong Yin, Xue Shang, Wei Ji, Li Huo, Nan Yang, Bei Xuan, Dong Yao, and Kong Yu had all arrived. Only Xi Yuan was away on business and could not return immediately.

"I have two things to say." Huang Si habitually created water for himself, washed his hands, dried them with mental energy, and then said calmly: "That Xiao Hua is dead. But her soul has not yet dissipated. The second thing is, a great flood is coming to the Human Race's territory within this century. The specific time requires further observation and calculation."

"A great flood?"

This news was more significant and drew the attention of the artificial intelligences.

Huang Si nodded: "It is a conclusion reached by Xiao Ke using big data calculations based on surveillance spread across the globe. The cause of this great flood is a shift in the global climate cycle. Currently, the most typical sign is the year-over-year rise in ocean temperatures in Ocean No. 1 and Ocean No. 3. This global climate change will reach a critical threshold within a hundred years and trigger the flood. The affected areas, in addition to this part of Continent No. 1 where the Human Race currently resides, will also include Continent No. 3 and parts of the peninsulas and islands."

"The great flood will destroy more than 80% of the areas where the Human Race currently resides. The Human Race must retreat to higher ground, otherwise, there will be heavy casualties."

Hearing this from Huang Si, the artificial intelligences were shocked.

Dong Yao and Li Huo, who had deeper feelings for humans, hurriedly asked:

"Does Father God have a plan to save the Human Race?"

"I do," Huang Si said, "I called you here because I have tasks to assign to you. Many people may die in the great flood; you must be mentally prepared for that. But at the same time, this is also an opportunity for the Human Race."

"Under the pressure of the flood, the Human Race can achieve unification once again. As long as someone can lead the Human Race to turn the tide and save the world, he can become the true King of the Human Race."

"Therefore, I have assigned the roles you need to play during this flood."

"You don't need to spend your days idling in the Biology Department watching videos and playing cards, everyone," Huang Si smiled slightly, "because you will become the true gods in the eyes of humanity."

Shu Shui secretly raised her hand: "Um, Father God, I wasn't playing cards. The ones playing cards were Nan Yang, Shi Fang, Wei Ji, and Kong Yu. They were at one table... Ow!"

Huang Si gave Shu Shui a direct chop to the forehead.

Shu Shui let out a miserable shriek.

"Save it. You're the most mischievous one. In this Biology Department, the only honest person is Bei Xuan."

Bei Xuan was a truly model employee. Every time Huang Si came to handle matters, Bei Xuan was either not in the office or working diligently, never playing cards.
