GRMFBS CH161

Here, Zhan Yan finished flipping through the Record of Worlds information provided by the Deep Shadow boss and immediately turned around to hand it over to the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

Well… anyway, the Deep Shadow boss agreed to cooperate with the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, right?

Administrator Lingyu: “Thank you.”

“If you get any other relevant information later, please be sure to tell me.”

Zhan Yan felt that Lingyu’s tone was a bit strange. He and Nie Yu were already well-acquainted; why use “please” and “be sure”?

Approaching Science: “Who are you?”

Administrator Lingyu: “I am Nie Ling.”

Zhan Yan searched in the gossip system.

Oh, oh, the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau also noticed the explosive growth of anomalies on the internet recently and the traces of Monster Doctor. As a “Cyber Ghost,” Nie Yu was assigned the task of tracking Monster Doctor’s traces.

The ability “Cyber Ghost” is not the strongest in combat among network types, but its stealth is extremely high. It is relatively safe for her to pursue clues.

Because Nie Yu had to fully deal with this task, the task of managing the forum was handed over to her brother, Nie Ling.

Nie Ling invited Approaching Science to cooperate in tracking Monster Doctor. Although both sides were investigating clues about Monster Doctor before, they were just investigating separately and hadn’t conducted deeper cooperation.

Although his sister’s ability had strong stealth and escape capabilities, she was now facing an opponent who could be related to Deep Shadow and made even Approaching Science struggle to investigate. Nie Ling was inevitably worried. He hoped to make his sister’s mission safer.

Zhan Yan was also willing to cooperate, but he really didn’t have network-type abilities… Wait, he should have them.

Zhan Yan thought about how he could log in to the Chaofan Forum directly through the gossip system and enter the “Have You Gossip Today?” group as well. These were all capabilities of the first little star “Information Connection” in the “Spirit” column.

Previously, he was used to treating “Information Connection” as a function similar to those built into tools like mobile phones and tablets, but being able to connect to online platforms meant that the gossip system should have network-type abilities.

[Congratulations on discovering the infinite extensibility of “Information Connection”.]

Zhan Yan’s breathing stopped for a moment, shocked by the word “infinite,” before realizing that this “infinite” was just literally infinite. “Infinite World” would be displayed as four characters together.

Opening this little star again, a lot of information splashed like flying streams, hanging and sliding down like heavy curtains.

Zhan Yan knew how to connect to known platforms through the information stream. But what those network-type superpowered individuals could do was definitely more than this. How did they do it?

Approaching Science: “How do network-type superpowered individuals wield their superpowers?”

This question might be hard for someone else to answer. For network-type superpowered individuals, wielding superpowers is like instinct; it’s hard to describe what the situation is. For non-network-type superpowered individuals, it’s even more impossible to explain.

But it just so happened that the person facing the question now was Nie Ling.

He himself was not a network type, but his sister was.

Coincidentally, Nie Yu was resting now, so Nie Ling pulled his sister over to ask.

Nie Yu: “Why does Approaching Science ask this? He’s not a network type.”

Although she didn’t know what Approaching Science wanted to do, Nie Yu still tried her best to describe it.

But sometimes it just can’t be described, because ordinary people’s language system doesn’t have vocabulary that can be used to describe the feelings of superpowered individuals, and the professional vocabulary created by network-type superpowered individuals is difficult for non-network types to understand. It’s as hard as describing what “red” is to a blind person.

Nie Yu: “Excessively dense information flow is like heavy rain. You need to walk through the rain, but you can’t let the rain soak you through, otherwise you’ll be bloated to explosion by information. Anyway, that’s what it means. You get it, right? Capturing information is like finding specific raindrops from this rainwater, but it’s not that hard. Network information has traces and rules. Specific searching is like… oh, anyway, you get it, right? I won’t explain. When shuttling through the information flow…”

As siblings connected by blood, and Nie Ling being an information type inclined towards research, he could completely understand the descriptions his sister replaced with “you get it, right?” whenever she couldn’t describe something.

Nie Ling not only understood but could describe it in language easier to understand. He conveyed the network-type superpower experience to Approaching Science.

Nie Ling was using the Administrator Lingyu account, and Nie Yu simply used her superpower to enter the forum to watch. As one of the builders of the forum, her superpower itself was the key to entering the forum.

Zhan Yan saw Nie Ling’s description and had a vague enlightenment.

He opened the information flow interface of the gossip system and closed his eyes.

Information flow emerged around him.

Information is not just visual. Auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile information, and even feelings in the heart, are all information.

Closing his eyes, information fell like heavy rain, hitting his shoulders, sliding down like water droplets on lotus leaves. Cold, heavy, wet… hot, soft, slippery…

He stood in the information sliding down densely like rain, not getting a single strand of hair wet by them.

Zhan Yan tried reaching out. The place where his hand touched the information rain glowed faintly. The rain suddenly penetrated his palm, like passing through a human figure composed of light.

At the moment the rain passed through, Zhan Yan read that piece of information.

Fluorescence covered his whole body from his palm. His whole person became as if composed of semi-transparent light. The information rain passed through his body, and every place in contact with his body glowed brighter, like little blue ripples splashed by rain hitting a fluorescent sea.

Countless pieces of passing information were read.

—It is 17:23 now.

—The moon is beautiful today.

—I hope that flower will bloom tomorrow.

—You are all stardust.

—Hello, world.

…

One piece of information after another shuttled through his body, leaving him with fleeting brilliance like meteors. Countless meteors illuminated his body like a galaxy. And Zhan Yan experienced freedom in this bright galaxy.

So, capturing information feels like this.

He opened his eyes. His glowing body returned to normal, and the information flows slid off him like water droplets not sticking to lotus leaves again.

He put up his palm, gently pushed aside the information flow in front of him, and walked forward from under the pushed-aside information curtain towards the familiar direction.

That should be the location of the Chaofan Forum.

Nie Yu stared dumbfounded at the figure shrouded in the light mist of information.

Approaching Science?

Isn’t he a non-network type? Why can he enter here?

Why can he let so much information pass through himself without his brain exploding?

How did he manage to clear a path directly instead of shuttling through the information tunnel?

Is he a bug?!

Nie Yu hadn’t fully invested herself into the network; she still kept a considerable part of her consciousness in her body.

Outside the network, Nie Yu jumped up.

Her colleagues in the same group responsible for cleaning up network anomalies were startled by her.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

“Found Monster Doctor?”

“You weren’t discovered by him, right? Hold on! We’re coming right away!”

“Where, where? Quick, show the location sharing… Eh?”

Nie Yu: “No, don’t be nervous; no big deal.”

“Wrong! Something big happened! But not that kind of big deal.”

“Oh, anyway, I have to contact the Deputy Director. It has nothing to do with Monster Doctor or anomalies. You guys continue.”

While looking for Approaching Science in the network, Nie Yu ran like the wind to find Ning Xi.

Deputy Director! Approaching Science is hacking!!

Nie Yu didn’t catch Approaching Science. Zhan Yan disconnected.

That state just now seemed unable to be maintained for long. But Zhan Yan didn’t have the feeling of wanting to eat candy due to excessive consumption like before, possibly because he wasn’t very proficient with this new usage of the ability yet.

He had absorbed a bit too much information just now, and his brain was a bit confused now. He couldn’t enter the information flow state like before for a while. The sudden disconnection might also be self-protection.

However, the new ability is really cool! Can you network-type superpowered individuals be this cool every day?

Zhan Yan felt his brain still muddled after a while, a bit unwilling to move things, as if the room was stuffed so full that he couldn’t move at all.

To reorganize space for movement, Zhan Yan had to sort out all this messy news stuffed into his brain.

What time is it? The moon is beautiful… It’s only 5:30 PM here now; the moon message was sent from somewhere else, right? All belongs to junk information; throw away, throw away!

Why is there news from foreigners? Translate… not needed, toss aside.

After sorting out most of the information, Zhan Yan felt his brain finally able to turn. While sorting, he discovered a message somewhat related to him.

Deep Shadow had a long-term cooperating network-type superpowered individual, Wan Shitong. Wan Shitong built a game world in the network.

Relying on Deep Shadow not having network-type abilities, Wan Shitong secretly made an NPC based on Deep Shadow in the game world. Wan Shitong was debugging this NPC when he received a message from Deep Shadow, shivered in fright, and accidentally maxed out the difficulty of gaining the NPC’s favorability.

The NPC glanced at Wan Shitong indifferently, left a “Heh heh”, turned around and disappeared.

To match Deep Shadow’s style, Wan Shitong pushed multiple attributes of the NPC off the charts. The result was that now he wanted to hurry and find this NPC to adjust it back, but the person was already gone. Now Wan Shitong was looking for this NPC everywhere in the game world.

Oh my, this melon is so fun. If Deep Shadow knew… Zhan Yan started searching for Deep Shadow’s melon strips, itching to try.

Hmm? How did Deep Shadow and the Lin Yuan Ghost King run into each other?

Zifeng Valley.

Gu Jiancheng and Zhan Jinli stood on one side each, looking at each other without speaking.

A gust of cold wind blew past, rolling up a few fallen leaves on the ground.

One was surrounded by yin energy, facial features unclear, only visible wearing a black robe with gold patterns.

The other’s figure was faint and indistinct, seeming to be just a faint thin shadow.

The two looked at each other vigilantly, both feeling the other didn’t look like a good person.
