Chapter 216 Your BUG, My Fertilizer
The backyard of Renxin Pharmacy has now undergone a complete transformation.
The open space that was originally used to store miscellaneous items has been cleaned up and replaced with a circular platform paved with bluestone slabs.
At the center of the platform, there is a huge blue crystal recovered from the Peak Biological Laboratory. Around the crystal, a dozen copper pipes as thick as an arm are inserted in a strange pattern.
The copper pipes were connected by silver wires, forming a complex array.
This is the energy core that Wang Minyu built based on the system blueprint "Gathering Spirit Array (Beginner)".
The captured "cleaner" agents were currently wearing construction site vests and, under Guan Shan's supervision, were diligently digging ditches.
These ditches extend from the core of the formation and will cover the entire backyard.
"Master, can this thing really gather spiritual energy?" Guan Shan wiped his sweat, looking at the blue crystal with a doubtful expression. "It looks more like a giant cell phone signal booster to me."
"It's pretty much the same idea." Wang Minyu was directing Pierre to carefully sprinkle some special powdered medicinal herbs into the ditch. "The only difference is that it doesn't enhance cell phone signals, but rather the 'bioenergy field' of this area. To put it simply, it makes the air here more 'nutritious,' so people are less likely to get sick if they stay here for a long time, and the medicinal herbs grown here will have better medicinal properties."
As Pierre sprinkled the powder, he sniffed and said with rapt attention, "Boss, I feel like I'm not sprinkling medicine, but the secret spices of a Michelin three-star restaurant. I have a feeling that the chives grown here, dipped in my special sauce, will allow you to see the end of the universe with just one bite."
Wang Minyu ignored him.
He looked at the agents who were working hard.
Their expressions were peculiar; instead of the anger and resentment of being captured, they carried a kind of... focus and piety.
"What did you feed them before you made them work?" Wang Minyu asked Guan Shan.
"They didn't eat much," Guan Shan said, scratching his head. "We just locked them up with that group of 'philosopher construction workers' from the resort and made them listen to a lecture all morning. It was about 'The Practical Significance of Bricklaying in Constructing a Metaphysical Worldview'."
Wang Minyu: "..."
It seems that the spiritual pollution of Organization S is still too young in the face of "philosophical filth".
"Master, Zero has made initial progress in cracking the data that Sister Lin Wei brought back." Su Qing came down from the temporary server room on the second floor, holding a tablet computer in her hand. "The S Organization's 'Godhood Shaping' project is more insane than we imagined."
She swiped the screen, which displayed a complex structural diagram.
"They are not satisfied with creating a 'container' to control the underground 'Matrix'." Su Qing's expression was very serious. "Their ultimate goal is to use the 'Matrix' as an energy source, combined with extraordinary genes collected from all over the world, and the core algorithm they obtained from the ruins of an unknown civilization, to create a... 'Digital God' that can exist in pure data form, detached from a physical body, and capable of freely modifying the physical rules of reality."
"Simply put, they want to turn the whole world into a computer game that they control."
"And Changxiang City was their first internal testing server."
Wang Minyu looked at the structural diagram, his gaze landing on the core algorithm module. "Could this algorithm simulate, or even create, emotions?"
"Yes," Su Qing nodded. "It can quantify the most complex emotions, such as love, sadness, and anger, into data models. In the S organization's theory, emotions are humanity's biggest 'bug,' a virus that hinders human evolution. What they want to do is use this algorithm to completely 'fix' this bug."
"So, they sent people to arrest me because my genes are best suited to carry this algorithm?"
"That's right. According to their data assessment, your mental structure exhibits a rare state of 'perfect coexistence of logic and chaos,' which is their ideal 'initial system.' They believe that as long as your consciousness is uploaded and injected into the core algorithm, they can create the most perfect 'digital god.'"
After listening, Wang Minyu remained silent for a moment, then picked up a shovel, scooped up a handful of soil mixed with medicinal powder, and evenly spread it in the ditch.
"Their logic is correct, and the emotion is indeed a bug," Wang Minyu said calmly, "but they got one thing wrong."
"What is it?"
"Bugs are meant to be used, not fixed." Wang Minyu patted the dirt off his hands. "How boring would a system be without bugs? Besides, for a gardener, these so-called 'bugs' are the best fertilizer."
He looked up at Su Qing: "Zero, can we trace the data left by 'White Owl' in reverse and find the S organization's data center in Changxiang City?"
"Yes. But he activated the highest level of 'data burning' protocol when he escaped, so it will take me at least 48 hours to locate him."
"That's enough." Wang Minyu's lips curled into a slight smile. "Notify Tu Jinshan at the resort and have him prepare a grand party. The theme will be—'The First Changxiang City 'Which is More Beautiful, Me or the Universe' Philosophical Debate and Arts Performance.' Invite all the guests who have enjoyed the 'Yuan Yang Hot Pot' back and tell them that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a 'clash of ideas' with the universe face-to-face."
Su Qing was taken aback: "Master, what's wrong...?"
"Isn't Organization S trying to collect data and fix bugs?" Wang Minyu picked up his teacup and took a leisurely sip. "Then I'll put on a bug feast for them. I'll let the smartest and craziest minds in all of Changxiang City unleash their thoughts, their emotions, and their bugs without reservation."
"I will use this freshest, most chaotic, and most powerful spiritual energy to nourish my 'Spirit Gathering Array'."
"They want to play the server beta test, so I'll be the GM for once and give them a... forced version update."
Two days later, at Renxin Resort.
As night fell, the entire resort was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Top tycoons, artists, and scholars from Changxiang City and even surrounding provinces and cities who have experienced the miraculous effects of the "Yuan Yang Hot Pot" have all gathered here.
The setup at the scene was extremely bizarre.
In the center of the stage, there were no stars, no band, only a huge LED screen that displayed in real time a chaotic waveform diagram of the fusion of the "mother" and the "father," captured by Situ Zhen.
Below the stage, guests gathered in small groups, their voices rising and falling in debate.
A financial tycoon is having a heated discussion with an abstract painter about whether the fluctuations in candlestick charts conform to the aesthetics of the Fibonacci sequence.
A renowned soprano is demonstrating to a physics professor how to explain quantum entanglement using the concept of "sound wave resonance".
The entire party venue transformed into a giant, open-air mental hospital filled with whimsical ideas and logical paradoxes.
Wang Minyu stood on the second-floor terrace, quietly watching all of this.
In his field of vision using the [Aura Observation] technique, the entire sky above the resort was filled with colorful emotional energy, like a dazzling aurora borealis.
This energy is being slowly absorbed by the invisible "spirit-gathering array" in the backyard, and then transformed into pure energy to nourish this land.
"Master, the fish have all gone into the net." Su Qing's voice rang out beside him. "Zero has located the S Organization's data center. It's right beneath our feet, five hundred meters underground in the resort."
Wang Minyu wasn't surprised. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Organization S actually built its servers right under the nose of the "Matrix".
"Have they arrived?" Wang Minyu asked.
"They're here." Su Qing pointed to several inconspicuous figures in the crowd. "Seven of them, disguised as waiters and guests. 'White Owl' is among them. They're releasing a miniature data collector, attempting to gather brainwave data from everyone present."
"Very good." Wang Minyu picked up the walkie-talkie. "Guan Shan, Pierre, prepare to close the net."
"Boss Liu, inform Tu Jinshan that the fireworks will begin in ten minutes."
"Fireworks?" came the puzzled voice of Boss Liu from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Yes, the largest size." Wang Minyu looked at the sea of revelry downstairs, a playful glint in his eyes. "Others throw parties to liven things up, we throw parties... to blow people away."
