Background

The Chip was originally a standard personal biological auxiliary chip from Song Ye's twenty-third-century Earth. Its startup message identifies it as Biological Chip N18907, manufactured by China Phytium Corporation under supervision of the Artificial Intelligence Oversight Department. It is not an independent intelligence: its initial feminine voice is only a promotional initialization program, which self-destructs after Song Ye names it Zero. Thereafter, it responds in a genderless mechanical voice generated from his language-memory region 3.

Unlike a conventional device, Zero is integrated into the host's genetic chain and exists in a perfected symbiosis with the brain. Song Ye believes this genetic integration may be why it remained with him after he inhabited Anglie's body, though this remains his speculation 3.

Its return immediately changes Anglie's prospects in a world governed by physical strength and Wizard knowledge. It provides information that he could not otherwise acquire, but it never replaces his own training, judgment, or physical actions 5 6.

Abilities & Skills

Analysis

Zero constructs logical models from collected information and returns assessments, warnings, probabilities, and practical recommendations. Its results improve as its database becomes more complete 3 5.

• Assesses physical attributes, combat capability, weapons, injuries, poisons, and hostile creatures 10 16 192.
• Gives predictive combat alerts, allowing Anglie to evade lethal attacks from Dis during their first encounter 9.
• Identifies strengthening substances and calculates dosage cycles, such as the Blue Bamboo Shoot's maximum effect and digestive side effect 11.
• Tracks biological status through rotating three-dimensional models displaying attributes, organs, neural activity, and fluctuating measurements 75 125.
• Performs microscopic scans of creatures, bloodlines, organs, genetic structures, and rune arrays 189 231 333.
• Quantifies spell damage and combat strength in standardized “degrees” 110 212.

Data Storage and Recall

Zero possesses a biological memory module independent from, yet symbiotic with, the brain. Its storage capacity retains sensory details over spans far beyond normal human memory 3.

• Records written material, maps, spell models, creature data, locations, and sensory impressions with photographic accuracy 10 151 175.
• Allows Anglie to study stored academic knowledge by transferring it into his own memory regions; recording information does not automatically grant him understanding 5 59.
• Identifies previously recorded materials from faint traces, including the scent of Dragon Scale Flower 69.
• Stores and compares biological files, including detailed profiles for the Black and Red Dragonflies 349.
• Retains observations too dangerous or complex for ordinary study, such as the component combinations within a 240-million-year-old artifact 580.

Simulation and Optimization

Zero can simulate procedures and derive the most efficient path permitted by its available data. This is central to Anglie's potion-making, spell development, rune research, and advancement planning 61 112.

• Calculates potion-making success rates and provides corrective preparation procedures; its first Hemostatic Salve simulation gives Anglie a 15% success rate before practical refinement 61.
• Optimizes spell structures, including the Stunning Spell and Lesser Flame Orb, when Anglie has sufficient mental power and mana to meet the required cost 59 132.
• Analyzes bottlenecks and proposes advancement methods, such as extracting bioenergy through the Malice Scimitar and a Harmonizing Agent 247.
• Rapidly deciphers composite rune arrays and produces workable basic diagrams, including the Ripple Formation 331.
• Assists Anglie in analyzing unfamiliar cultivation systems and identifying the fastest advancement route for Spirit Serpent Palm 548.

Energy and Spell-Model Storage

After absorbing a Magical Item's energy, Zero can preserve its structural model as well as raw energy. Releasing that stored structure can reproduce the item's spell effect 60.

• Stores a mastered spell model in advance for instant release, giving Anglie a casting speed normally unavailable to apprentices 62.
• Provides reserve mana during extended combat; at one point, Anglie combines nearly 18 units stored in the Chip with his own mana reserves 135.
• Can preserve only one spell model at a time; storing more causes rejection and collapses the models into unusable pure energy 62.
• Its instant-casting support complements Anglie's close-combat Metal Spell style 132.

Bloodline and Biological Research

Zero's microscopic analysis enables Anglie to study, extract, purify, and combine Ancient Bloodlines with a precision unavailable to ordinary Wizards 217 352.

• Detects non-human elements in Anglie's original bloodline through genetic comparison 144.
• Evaluates mutation results in experimental creatures, including the atavistic traits awakened in a Bari Turtle 231.
• Purifies bloodlines before fusion, contributing to Anglie's successful fusion of two Ancient Bloodlines through the Inheritance Codex 347.
• Assesses targets for Ancient Bloodlines and innate abilities, though it cannot produce conclusions where the database lacks relevant information 140 348.
• Its bloodline purification is described as Anglie's greatest secret and greatest reliance in creating powerful descendants 352.

Limitations

• No independent intelligence or creativity — Zero can only process data, derive logical results, and select efficient existing methods. It cannot create genuinely new solutions without sufficient information 3 135.
• Sensory dependence — Its analysis depends on information gathered through Anglie's own senses. Faster attacks can still exceed his reaction time, and weak senses reduce its anti-concealment capability 16 28.
• Force-field interference — It cannot directly scan through a Wizard's force field and must instead infer conditions from leaked energy traces 135 223.
• Cannot act physically — It can correct movements and simulate procedures, but Anglie must train, fight, craft, and perform experiments himself 6 175 223.
• Database-dependent conclusions — Unknown materials, rare species, Ancient Bloodlines, World Power, and Authority systems can exceed its available data or require extremely long analysis periods 105 140 503 580.
• Resource cost — Complex simulations, spell optimization, and high-speed capture consume Anglie's mental power, mana, or physical energy 48 59 90.
• Cannot replace genuine cultivation — Anglie is warned that spiritual power must be trained honestly to avoid side effects and future advancement problems; Zero can resolve bottlenecks but cannot bypass all necessary accumulation 309 329.
• Limited against higher principles — Time Power and Space Power require Anglie's personal comprehension, a domain the Chip cannot meaningfully accelerate 583.

Malfunctions and Anomalies

• During Anglie's Second-level Wizard advancement, Zero reports an unknown operational flaw and initiates a random upgrade before resuming its function 303.
• Observing a black hole causes a temporary malfunction, though normal operation later returns 516.
• A discrepancy in time flow within a higher world disrupts its timer until Anglie resets it to the new biological time flow 539.
• Some supernatural runes lose their special memory-obscuring property when copied into Zero's storage, making direct duplication ineffective 286.

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Early survival and training: Zero gives Anglie the warnings that let him survive Dis's ambush, then helps refine his sword forms, archery, physical training, and diet-based attribute enhancement 6 9 11.
• Apprentice development: Its perfect storage and simulations allow Anglie to learn spells, brew potions, calculate advancement odds, and progress through the academy system more efficiently than his peers 59 61 75 112.
• Wizard combat: Zero supports Anglie's instant spell casting, Metal Talent combat style, mana management, and tactical assessment against stronger Wizards 125 132 135.
• Bloodline research: It becomes indispensable to Anglie's experiments with Ancient Bloodlines, biological mutation, sigils, and the Inheritance Codex 217 231 347 419.
• Later research: Even after Anglie reaches far greater realms, Zero remains a tool for analyzing ancient artifacts, unfamiliar power systems, time-related knowledge, and routes toward the Ancestor Realm 580 590.
