In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 20 One Lifetime: Transmigrator or Extraterrestrial?

"Master Lu, don't get excited. Actually, I've been watching you for a long time."

Chen Hongyu smiled faintly.

"I am just a martial artist, what is there for Dr. Chen to care about?" Lu Yuan asked.

"How could a sixteen-year-old who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts be merely a martial artist?"

Chen Hongyu walked to the glass jar.

"If you study history thoroughly, you will find that..."

"Throughout the long course of history, there have always been a small number of people who seem to possess an innate mission and an amazing talent in a certain field."

"The success that ordinary people pursue throughout their lives is something that is easily attainable for them."

"They can easily possess wealth, fame, status, and power that ordinary people cannot even imagine."

"For example, Wang Mang, who is jokingly referred to by many netizens as a time traveler, and Liu Xiu, the chosen one of the world."

"Ordinary people often attribute their achievements to talent or luck, but I don't think so."

"Especially your appearance, Master Lu, further confirms my guess."

Chen Hongyu adjusted his glasses and said with certainty.

What are you trying to say?

Lu Yuan frowned.

From the moment he stepped into the laboratory, he lost control of the situation.

Even though he was at the pinnacle of martial arts.

But the ordinary person in front of him could easily control the pace of the conversation, putting Lu Yuan in a completely passive position.

Think of this.

The murderous intent in Lu Yuan's heart grew stronger.

“The body is just a shell; you may kill me now.”

"But in doing so, you will miss the truth of this world."

Chen Hongyu's words conveyed a sense of detachment from life and death.

"Since you haven't made a move, Master Lu."

"Then let me introduce it to you."

He walked to the first glass jar on the left and pointed to a head soaking in nutrient solution.

There was a young man inside.

He has ordinary facial features, bangs on his forehead, and a resemblance to a baboon in his eyes and brows.

His eyes were closed, as if he were simply asleep.

"Chen Daozai, also known as Qian Guo, is a male who won 3000 million with 20 dollars of pocket money in Las Vegas when he was eight years old. He became famous after this battle and was known as the 'young gambling prodigy'."

"He is called a gambling monster because, according to statistics, he will lose nine out of ten games."

"But he often only needs to win one game to turn the tide!"

Chen Hongyu recounted the details with great familiarity.

"Nova, help me retrieve his memories."

The voice just fell.

A high-definition projection appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

on the screen.

A young man in a black suit sat confidently at the gambling table, with tens of millions of chips piled high in front of him.

He was surrounded by countless blonde beauties who seemed to want to stick their whole bodies to him.

His signature pose of holding a cappuccino was once featured in Time magazine and has been imitated by countless people.

Seeing these images.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.

Because if he remembers correctly.

This talent was once recorded in the talent encyclopedia of the main world.

A C-level talent is a losing proposition nine times out of ten!

"And this one."

Lu Yuan followed Chen Hongyu's finger and looked at another glass jar.

The head inside belonged to a middle-aged man, wearing black-rimmed glasses, somewhat balding, with a meaningful smile always playing on his lips.

He looked refined and cultured, like a university professor.

"Zhang San, male, from Qian State, has committed dozens of heinous crimes, but each time he has managed to escape legal punishment for various reasons."

"Even if he robbed a bank in broad daylight, he could still be acquitted in court due to insufficient evidence!"

Speaking of which.

Chen Hongyu's tone showed a rare slight fluctuation.

Because this matter is too outrageous.

Even a fool could tell something was wrong.

Lu Yuan remained silent.

Just from hearing the description, he could guess what this person's talent was.

Grade B talent, Outlaw! "And this one too."

Chen Hongyu pointed to a glass jar again.

The head of a man with a buzz cut was submerged inside.

You can tell from his deep-set features that he is a foreigner.

"Mike, a Beacon citizen, a senior engineer, once worked for a world-class construction company with an annual salary of over a million, but was imprisoned for buying something for zero."

He had been imprisoned in dozens of prisons.

"But even if you lock his limbs, confine him in a sealed room made of alloy, and have a martial arts master guard him 24 hours a day."

"He always manages to escape from prison in unexpected ways!"

Chen Hongyu's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Even the Crimson Lotus headquarters, which is said to be impenetrable even to a mosquito, has been evaded by Mike several times.

Lu Yuan had already guessed this person's abilities.

no doubt.

This is an A-level talent from the main world.

Imprisonment is preferable to jail!
"As for this one."

"He is my mentor and the founder of Project Ark."

Chen Hongyu walked to the end of the glass jar, where the head of a middle-aged man was submerged.

"Li Yun, male, from Qian State, was the top scorer in the college entrance examination at the age of six, graduated from Tsinghua and Peking Universities at the age of ten, and became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of fifteen."

"He single-handedly led a major revolution in artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, and was the first to propose the concept of digital life."

"In his presence, I was just a toddler learning to walk."

"But twenty years ago, just as Project Ark was about to achieve a major breakthrough, he suddenly died without any warning."

"But it was also him who made me understand the unknown truths of this world."

Chen Hongyu sighed and turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"So, how should I address you?"

"Traveler?"

"Or are they from outer space?"

Lu Yuan did not answer.

In fact.

Chen Hongyu already had the answer in his heart; he didn't need Chen Hongyu to reply.

After all, some simulators have very special talents.

No matter how well they try to cover it up.

However, those who pay close attention can easily spot the differences in the simulators.

Not to mention.

In the concept of the main world.

The initial simulation was very simple, not much different from a single-player game.

Many unscrupulous novice simulators don't bother to hide their brilliance.

"I want to know, how did you manage to turn them into brains in a vat?"

Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then asked.

The Simulators are protected by the will of the heavens.

Once you realize the danger, you can immediately exit this reincarnation.

Even the will of Heaven in this world cannot stop it.

But Chen Hongyu forcibly left these people's consciousness in this world.

This is almost unimaginable for many simulator users.

"No, they're actually already dead. What you're seeing are just specimens."

Chen Hongyu shook his head.

"It's very simple to reform them; all it takes is a dose of enhanced anesthetic to make them unconscious."

"During this period of their unconsciousness, with current technology, it is sufficient for us to transform them into brains in vats."

"Once their consciousness is awakened, artificial intelligence will use big data to simulate their previous living environment and life experiences."

"To make them mistakenly believe that they are still living in the previous reality."

"But it's very difficult to pry into their memories."

“It’s as if you people have some kind of self-destruct mechanism in your minds.”

"Once certain secrets are involved, it will automatically become brain dead."

Chen Hongyu answered all questions and explained in detail.

Looking at the heads submerged in nutrient solution, Lu Yuan felt a pang of sadness, a sense of shared loss.

The initial simulation carries very low risk.

But who could have imagined it?

How could this world produce a freak like Chen Hongyu?
