[Simulation Rating: D!]
[Cooldown Time: 20 minutes!]
[Summary: Although it was an overall failure, a lot of intelligence was gathered and the spoils were consolidated. Keep pushing forward.]
"Still can't avoid being killed in the end. Not far from me, there's actually a group of Brainfiends hiding?"
Su Bai exhaled heavily.
He couldn't figure out why those Brainfiends came all this way.
That semi-circular fortress was the key,
able to multiply the Brainfiends' strength dozens of times.
From the intelligence so far, the fortress contained at least five normal silver-level and one high-level silver-level Brainfiend.
Together with their mental power stacking,
using the machines, they could unleash power far beyond their peers.
Su Bai thought his dragon knights and Unicorn Beetle Beasts were strong, but facing technology plus spirit, they were surprisingly fragile.
"They follow an extreme path. If I strike first with a surprise close-range attack, victory might not be impossible."
He pondered.
His main uncertainty was how the fortress discovered them.
Was it because the Brainfiend corpse self-destructed?
Or did they trigger an alarm by approaching the Meteorite Belt?
Su Bai believed it more likely the corpse self-destructed and transmitted some intelligence.
As he was thinking, the text began settling.
[Please choose one Talent to solidify!]
Considering Brainfiends were the primary enemy,
Su Bai chose to solidify Vitality Feedback.
Without this Talent, Godzilla and Super Bi Beast would suffer.
[Please choose which to keep!]
In the extraction list, Su Bai found a silver-level Brainfiend chip!
He quickly checked the details.
[Brainfiend Chip (Silver Level): A famed computational artifact in the universe. Not only does it enhance spirit, but also acts as a CPU for computers. Highly sought after. However, if found who killed its kin, Brainfiends may come seeking revenge. (Note: Extracting this item will cause the Brainfiend in reality to die prematurely. Creation Points required: 5000!)]
"If I extract it now, won't that half-dead Brainfiend die inside the flying saucer, leaving Tianyuan Realm unaware?"
Su Bai's eyes lit up with a thought.
"It always sends messages before death, causing alarms. But I'm now exploiting a bug, able to kill it without alerting even the Brainfiends inside the fortress."
Also, this chip was worth at least 50 million!
Considering its rarity and the fact Brainfiends prefer self-destruction over leaving chips behind,
the market price would only rise.
But the extraction cost in Creation Points was steep.
Plus, after the last simulation's loss, he only had around 8500 Creation Points left.
Su Bai dared not use it recklessly.
To be safe, he did not extract the chip.
His 200-kilometer world was barely enough to keep them busy.
He used the cooldown period to return to reality.
He searched Brainfiend data again but found only common information publicly available.
The exact social structure of Brainfiends and the typical fleet size were unclear.
"Not even enrolled yet, still just a trainee World Master. Many files are restricted."
He suddenly thought of the old principal, who was knowledgeable.
Quickly, Su Bai called the principal's private number.
Upon hearing Su Bai wanted Brainfiend data, the principal was surprised:
"Why research them? Brainfiends are notoriously vengeful and tightly knit. Their tech level is high, methods unpredictable, and they love backstabbing and ambushes. Once found, report immediately to the Human Alliance Association."
"I'm just curious. I feel like I've encountered similar monsters nearby and want to confirm."
After Su Bai's persistence,
the principal emailed a batch of documents and cautioned:
"Don't leak this. With your current clearance, you're not authorized to see this info. It was obtained through life-risking investigations. After the college entrance exam, when you enroll in Starry Sky University, it'll be much easier. The better the school, the better the training."
Su Bai happily thanked him, then began reviewing the detailed intelligence.
At the very beginning, his brow furrowed:
"Brainfiends usually act in groups, forming expedition teams. The top tier even includes Saint-level Brainfiends with huge fleets.
Below that are Diamond-level leading ten fleets. The most common are Golden-level Brainfiends leading scouting vanguards. Standard setup: one Golden Brainfiend, ten Silver Brainfiends, three hundred Bronze Brainfiends.
Note that aided by technology, fleets can perform far beyond their individual levels. Some Golden Brainfiends even enslave same-level Golden creatures, extremely brutal!"
"Of course, there are scattered Silver-level small teams, but rare. Even fewer Bronze-level Brainfiends are scattered about."
"Their fatal weakness is the computing chip—destroy it and they're instantly killed. But that also removes their greatest value."
...
Many minor details he skimmed past.
He quietly frowned, staring at the Brainfiend fleet info.
"What kind of fleet is stationed at the Meteorite Belt? If it's a Golden or even Diamond Brainfiend, there's no point fighting—it's better to report to the country immediately."
He decided that in the next simulation,
he would try to uncover Brainfiend strength as much as possible
and strike preemptively!
The three spiritual Talents chosen earlier also proved quite effective.
Eye Demon benefited the most, performing impressively, even outliving Godzilla in the final battle.
Considering the multiverse has many spirit-type monsters,
including ghosts that test spiritual power,
Su Bai resolved that today's task was to draw more spirit Talents and solidify them!
