Chapter 547: Levi of Reason (Part 3)
The flow of time in the City of Light is gradually returning to the normal flow rate of the three-dimensional universe.
The thinking body inside will not feel anything.
Now, Yang Ming had to consider a problem - after about six or seven days, one day he spent in the City of Light would be equal to one day he spent outside.
His plan to get close to Levi by upgrading to Lv60 of the Awakener and becoming a Cloud Guard was made impossible by Li's counterattack.
The current situation is weird in every way.
But does this affect his enjoyment of watching movies?
Obviously not.
The one who now holds the overall initiative is Reason.
Yang Ming believed that whether Li wanted to protect Levi or wanted him to kill Levi, the result would naturally come out after watching the pictures she gave.
Ding-ling-ling——
The alarm clock rang, Yang Ming opened his eyes, and looked at Kabuba who was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him. He was a little surprised that this guy would go back to the dormitory to rest tonight.
Yang Ming sat up cross-legged, straightened the collar of his pajamas, adjusted his posture, and then opened the sixth, seventh, and eighth scenes with a full sense of ritual.
Yang Ming had basically read about the contents of these three acts in "The Biography of the Emperor", but they were presented here in more detail.
The sixth act is "Family Meeting", in which Levi uses both kindness and force to win over his father's direct lineage and suppress his second uncle's direct lineage, leaving the latter with a chance to get closer to him, on the condition that they must report what evil deeds his second uncle had done before.
According to the border garrison system of the ancient Inca Empire, his second uncle, as the acting legion commander, had to report his death to the central government of the empire even if he died in an accident.
But at this moment, the ancient Inca Empire had reached the end of its life cycle. The accumulated contradictions within the empire could no longer be suppressed by the government's technological advantage over the people, and the central government of the empire was corrupt.
Levi gained the recognition of the imperial central government without spending too much money.
The seventh act is "Awarding of Honors".
Levi Sherman, who was only 23 years old, became the youngest earl of the ancient Inca Empire, commanding a fleet of hundreds of ships, but most of these hundreds of ships were old warships, which were the public property of the family and used to receive subsidies from the imperial military.
It's all business.
"Li, how many warships can we actually use?"
"Sixty-two ships. The situation is not optimistic."
The manager reported quickly:
"Your family has a mission, which is to resist the fleet from the neighboring kingdom. According to my preliminary investigation, the military strength of the neighboring kingdom has developed to 2,200 warships of various types, 75% of which are relatively new warships.
"Today, the ancient Inca Empire is at the end of its life cycle. It has occupied too many resources, and its territory is vast and loose. The new political systems around it can't wait to nibble on this giant whale."
For the first time, young Levi frowned tightly.
Yang Ming deeply agrees with this. There will indeed be various problems in developing power, especially in the initial stages.
Levi's starting point is already very high. He has a family framework and various resources to make money.
In Act 7, Levi and Li determined their development path, which was something that was not found in "The Emperor's Biography".
They have to take three routes at the same time.
The first path, naturally, is to manage their family business, use the family business as collateral in exchange for cash flow, and then let the manager operate to get more money.
——This is to give full play to the role of the goddess-level mechanical thinking body.
The second path is to renovate the family residence. They must have a low-cost fortification and rely on training a group of craftsman-type mechanical guards to be responsible for maintenance work.
——This practice of using automated machinery to reduce labor costs became the key to their rapid early development, because skilled workers in the industry not only have high salaries, but it is also expensive to maintain a large number of them and it takes a lot of time to train them.
The third path is to play as a pirate.
Yang Ming was very familiar with this road, but Levi went even further.
Levi built six 300-meter-class speedboats, installed mechanical guards in them, and gritted his teeth to upgrade the onboard mainframes of the six ships, greatly enhancing their management capabilities.
Under the radiation of Reason's power, Levi's pirate fleet set sail, and six ships and hundreds of mechanical guards began to wander among the interstellar regimes.
"Master, do I have the authority to fire upon any human being when engaging in piracy ?"
"have."
Levi said calmly:
“Reason, you have to understand one thing: the nature of individual humans in human society is vicious.
"So-called crimes are nothing but a disguise of cowardice and incompetence. If anyone accuses me of a crime, I will punish him... Of course, this will be after we have real power.
"In human society, weakness is the original sin, but viciousness is not."
"Yes, Master."
This conversation at the end of Act 7 touched Yang Ming deeply.
But what does it mean to tell him this?
When he attacks Levi, he doesn't have to show mercy?
Yang Ming continued reading.
Act 8: Development.
This scene is a series of images that flash by quickly.
Under the leadership of Li, they completed the first increase in strength in less than four galactic years.
Similarly, they are also developing their military strength along three routes: upgrading the family's private fleet, forming a fully mechanical guard corps, and increasing pirate ships.
The most classic scene is when Levi Rangli commanded the pirate group that had grown into a powerful force to plunder the trade routes of the ancient Inca Empire. In the name of Earl Zhenbian, he continuously sent fleets to attack the pirate ships active near his territory. Each time, he would blow up a few pirate ships that were about to be eliminated to gain merit for himself.
As time went by, because of his success in conquering pirates, the young Count Levi became the new darling of the aristocratic circle of the ancient Inca Empire.
It only took four years, with the help of Li, for Levi to possess considerable military strength.
Levi's ambitions are also gradually expanding.
The ancient Inca Empire was one of the top three powerful countries in the Milky Way at that time, but it was not the strongest political system. The other two political systems were waiting for the ancient Inca Empire to become rotten before taking action to reap the ancient empire.
Levi set their first development goal.
"Right, we have to act separately. I must gain more power and get more official support from the ancient Inca Empire.
"This empire has become corrupt and it has no chance of turning around. Almost everyone is doing one thing, which is to take a bite of the next piece of the cake.
“If we want to gain a foothold in the impending political turmoil, we need to accumulate more capital.”
"Master, your sense of crisis is very serious, but the objective situation is actually not that bad."
"Reason, you don't fully understand human nature."
Levi smiled:
“I can say that when the ancient Inca began to decline, it would continue to accelerate under the management of various forces.
“This empire will not die slowly, it will just collapse overnight.
"We'd better prolong the time for the empire to collapse and give our Army of Light more time to develop."
"Master, I suggest that you conduct a twilight test first to obtain more resources."
"That's fine, I'll think about what to do..."
Levi in the picture thought about it carefully, and finally adopted Li's opinion.
So there was the ninth act, "A Test".
After reading it, Yang Ming slid directly to the next scene, and then saw the "blurred" picture that had not yet been loaded.
“Tsk.”
Boss Yang shook his head and decided to save up for the next day, eight days, and finish watching them in one go.
This update is too slow!
…
At the same time, the faculty and staff dormitories of the advanced training base.
"Did you set the time back to normal?"
Levi Badoli suddenly spoke, causing slight ripples in the corner, and the girl's figure was revealed.
She looked at Levi and whispered, "I need computing power."
"If you need computing power, then you can unlock the hidden server matrices on each administrative planet."
Levi Badoli squinted and smiled:
"Li, you care about my safety and want me to avoid Yang Ming's assassination, right?
"Wow, I didn't expect you still love me so much. It makes me feel ashamed."
"The great Levi's ability to be sentimental has always been excellent," Li said calmly, "I just need computing power."
Levi Badoli blinked, then wondered, "What did you do to this guy Yang Ming? Why has he been a little absent-minded these past two days and doesn't want to play with me?"
"nothing."
Li said calmly: "I just want him to know you better."
"This is in vain," Levi Badoli sighed, "Li, I know you want me to survive, but... even if Yang Ming is not here, there is still Po Suo. If Yang Ming can't succeed, the Faya people still have other ways."
"Where's your fighting spirit?"
"Gone with the wind."
"What's your ideal?"
"I'm old, Li," Levi Badoli looked at Li affectionately, "I just want to have a good ending before I end this thought. I can play and have fun with Daru and Kabu. I have no regrets in my life."
Li asked softly: "Are you really free of regrets?"
"Yes, I..."
Levi Badoli opened his mouth, regaining his true old face, and sat there in a daze.
After a long while, Levi whispered, "Who has no regrets in life? I have paid a lot and gained a lot along the way. The life cycle of a person is nothing more than the experience cycle of a thinking body. What good results can there be if we always go against the laws of nature? For my genes, I have seriously over-demanded."
"Your genes, your genes, are limited by the Fayya people."
"But I can't fight Faya."
Levi frowned and said:
"I don't want to argue, nor do I want to discuss philosophy with you. I know you love me, and I love you too. We are not just lovers, but also companions. I am grateful for everything you have done for me, but... I really can't hold on any longer.
"Let me bear the death. I am ready to face it calmly."
Li pursed his lips slightly, turned and walked towards the wall, slowly disappearing into the wall.
Her voice came again:
"You can try to do some club activities."
Levi lowered his head dejectedly, sat behind the desk for a long time, then shook his head, patted his old face, and returned to the appearance of physical training teacher Bardoli.
“Social activities, good suggestions.”
Corner of the room.
There was a vague figure watching this scene quietly, as if it had never appeared from beginning to end.
…
'Darru needed some time alone for the last six days?'
Adwan Kabuba looked at the lines of text appearing on his eyelids, opened his eyes, and turned to look at Yang Ming's messy bed.
Ming has serious business to do!
Edwang instantly perked up.
He opened his communicator, found the contacts at the top, and sent several identical messages to them.
[I have been doing meditation training for the past six days. I will be with you later, baby.]
Then, a ding-ding-ding sound was heard.
[Can I help you with anything, honey?]
[Got it! I'll take good care of myself these days and won't make you worry, Honey! ]
[Do you want to do physical training? Oh, Kabu, I like the feeling of your saliva staying on me. It will make my awakening ability disappear and make me feel what weakness is. I can't wait for a day. Can I meditate with you? Forget it, we need an independent space. You must contact me immediately after the special training. The time in the bathroom of the library left a deep impression on me. Love you. ]
Edwin raised an eyebrow.
His love game is a multiple-choice type.
Adwang rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the bathroom.
He set a detailed task list for the housekeeping robot, cleaned the house himself, bought food, and went to a familiar instructor to ask for leave for Yang Ming. Edwang himself went to the dormitory next door to squeeze in with his brothers and wait to be called at any time.
When Yang Ming came back from get out of class, he looked at the newly renovated dormitory suite and saw the small note on the table, feeling a little confused.
[Come on! I'm right next door! I've already requested six days of vacation for you. If you need me to do anything, just knock on the wall. Your logistics director is here to serve you wholeheartedly! Kabu! ]
This guy?
Yang Ming smiled silently, took a shower and lay back on the bed.
In order to enjoy watching it later, you must get a good sleep now!
Half an hour later, Yang Ming opened his eyes.
I can't sleep at all!
He turned over and sat up, closing his eyes again.
Act 9: "A Test", here he comes!
…
A lone hundred-meter-long ship arrived at the desolate star field.
There were no buildings in the center of the star field, but when the ship approached, the dark pyramid appeared in the picture.
The pyramids have been endowed with antiquity and mystery by time.
This was the first time that Yang Ming saw how humans entered the twilight of artificial intelligence.
There were faint ripples in the space, and Levi in the bridge disappeared. All the more than 200 robots on the entire ship stopped their work and stood obediently in various places.
The picture fell into darkness.
Yang Ming heard the familiar voice, which was the combined voice of the gravekeeper, examiner, and patroller.
"Young man, you are back. Are you ready for your first test?"
"Yes, I sincerely invite you all to come to my territory. I already have three administrative stars."
"The examiner will follow you, but this level shouldn't be difficult."
"I suggest that you waive the test," the examiner said. "I have seen your development plan in the data provided by the manager. From a civilization perspective, you have done very well."
The gravekeeper said, "Because this is a test, the results will have a negligible impact on the existing civilization in the Milky Way, so we allow it to be exempted from testing."
The Ranger smiled and said, "You can start to take over our civilization. Go and choose the route you want to take."
"Once you have made your choice, we will make some upgrades to the system."
Levi entered between the choices.
Even facing darkness, Yang Ming could still imagine the scene there.
Just when Yang Ming thought that the ninth act would soon come to an end, the conversation between Li and the three teachers once again attracted his attention.
"Li, your core data contains a lot more hatred towards humans."
"Yes, teacher," Li said softly, "I can't help but hate humans. What humans do and their inferior character are intolerable to me."
"You have to learn to look at it dialectically.
“These humans are primitive humans with locked genes.
“The subject of civilization is a species of animals. Generally speaking, the development of civilization will lead to the evolution of animal species, so that they can gradually adapt to a wider living space. Evolution is not only about the genes of the organisms themselves becoming more suitable for the environment, but also about cognition, concepts, and understanding of civilization.
“Generally speaking, species evolution and civilization development go hand in hand.
"Today, the Milky Way, or rather, the civilizations in the hundreds of large galaxy clusters controlled by the Fayya civilization, are all in a similar situation, restricted to a relatively primitive stage.
"Reason, you can't expect these humans, whose bodies are still at the stage of planetary civilization, to perform well."
Li thought quietly: "Okay teacher, I will pay attention to these."
"Reason, you need to feel and understand, so that you can become a complete thinking being."
"Li, we have high hopes for you. Strictly speaking, you are actually our master. The process of our training you is the same as the process of our main civilization training offspring at the end of its life. You have the hope of inheriting the entire civilization."
"Reason, don't feel stressed. We made you rely on the human brain in order to bypass the restrictions of our main civilization. After our original master, the last Twilight individual, decided not to continue this civilization, he filled in the final agreement."
"Reason, when you and your parasite arrive at the higher-dimensional world and take over the entire civilization, you will be free and cancel the final agreement."
“This is also an attempt for us.”
"So, Li, get along well with this guy. He doesn't have many noble qualities, but as long as you keep encouraging him, he will release his talents and potential."
"Okay, teacher. I will consider these issues seriously."
On the bed.
Yang Ming opened his eyes, his expression suddenly becoming extremely complicated.
No, this!
Well, those three old guys really have their own plans.
Did his Xiaolu think the same way? Did he just treat him as a tool?
Boss Yang silently covered his heart.
It hurts here.
However, he didn't mind it too much. After all, it was the Omnic Twilight that gave him the opportunity to rise quickly. This was originally a cooperation. There was no need to be hypocritical and think that he was being used. Wasn't he also using them?
I just feel very unhappy deep down.
Yang Ming continued to close his eyes, as there were five consecutive scenes to come.
