Everyone looked at her again.
“I investigated the combat capabilities of Konglu Star and concluded that they are no match for you, which is why I came here to stop you,” Si Si explained. “The hacker was rented.”
"Rent?" Bi asked, chewing on her lollipop.
"Some rental companies have invented 'agents.' Customers can choose the person they want to hire, and that person can be directly deployed to the 'agent' at the company headquarters, download the corresponding modules, and complete the tasks for the customer. Depending on the quality of the 'agent,' it can possess 20%, 30%, or even all of the original's combat power."
After hearing Si's explanation, Li Changzhou and the other Earth villagers were once again amazed, realizing that the universe truly has all kinds of technology.
What's the difference between this technology and mythology? Isn't this what it looks like when the gods descend?
"It's a bit like shared bikes," Li Qianxia muttered to herself.
...It does resemble, and also resembles, file sharing on a cloud drive.
Si continued, "The hacking failed. Konglu will probably hire combat personnel and wait for you on Konglu Star."
"How strong are the combatants?" Yaochi asked.
"It depends on how strong the 'agency' company's warriors are, and how much money Kong Lu has," Si replied.
“That means knowing nothing,” Yaochi said, then looked at Yin Seli, “Continue talking about hacker skills. Knowing something is always better than not knowing it.”
She didn't trust Si at all.
Si said that if Konglu Star doesn't have hackers, then it doesn't exist?
It's possible that the intelligence was passed on to Konglu Star by Si herself, deliberately lowering their guard against hackers in order to launch the next attack.
Yoon Seul-ri nodded, indicating that she could.
"Hackers are weak—"
"Yin Seli, you're too modest." Li Qianxia couldn't help but retort with her first sentence.
Although they lost their magic powers, their abilities were still at the level of immortals. How could they be hacked from countless light-years away? Is that what you mean by 'hackers are weak'?
"—It's very powerful in certain environments," Yoon Se-ri added. "To deal with someone who has lost their fighting ability, a qualified hacker can easily hack into their brain, view their memories, and make them obey their commands."
"What just happened?" Yang Qinglan asked.
"It is another 'specific environment' for hackers. Knowing the environment around the target, there is a high probability of hacking the target. If the target dies in the environment created by the hacker, the real person will also die. This is a skill that only advanced hackers have."
"Do you have one?" Li Qianxia asked directly, not out of provocation, but out of pure curiosity.
“Sometimes it works,” Yoon Se-ri replied. “With a good set of auxiliary equipment, the success rate can be increased to over 60%.”
"So it seems the hackers who attacked us were quite skilled?" Li Changzhou said.
“Not necessarily.” Yin Seli crossed her arms, unwilling to admit defeat. “The hackers of ‘agent’ companies usually have their main bodies in high-end equipment at the company headquarters, which increases their success rate. If I also had top-notch equipment like those of ‘agent’ companies, hacking into us wouldn’t be a problem.”
"Does the hacker have any other attack methods?" Yaochi asked her to confirm.
"There are generally only two types of hackers, but a hacker is not necessarily just a hacker."
“I understand what you mean.” Yaochi nodded.
A Divine Warrior might be a hacker, and a hacker might be an Ascended Warrior, or even an alien, a Divine Being, or a god.
Li Changzhou looked at the navigator, Dayi: "How much longer until we reach Konglu Star?"
"Sufficient energy supply, will arrive in 7 days."
Seven days is just enough time to familiarize myself with 'divine will'.
Over the course of seven days, Li Changzhou, along with Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Yaochi, and Bi, would occasionally leave the spaceship.
Either cultivate on the asteroid Yang Qinglan was on before—the one that requires security checks—or go to IAO to "broaden your horizons"—eat and drink to your heart's content.
It is possible to return to Earth, but for some reason, it takes a long time to search before it can be activated. It seems that the distance between Earth and the Great Wall of Divine Will is so great that even an S-level teleportation requires time to pinpoint the exact location of both sides.
Going back would be pointless and a waste of time, so Li Changzhou stopped trying after that one attempt.
Once the mission is complete, we'll travel back and forth between the two locations to buy spaceships and learn the technology.
The honeypot world remains locked down.
"You could consider turning it into a 'terrestrial realm.' With that foundation, you'll become a terrestrial immortal much faster than we have," Yaochi suggested during an experience-sharing session on the spaceship after training.
According to the Taoist texts in Xiangyeguan, in order to cultivate into an 'Earth Immortal', one must possess one's own blessed land.
Earthly Immortals are divided into five levels: Hengsha, Blessed Land, Grotto Heaven, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm.
Human immortals can create something from nothing, and by cultivating a single, eternal grain of sand, they can enter the gate of earth immortals.
Li Shangyin wrote in a poem, "Sitting and looking at the world, it's like a grain of sand." Buddhist scriptures also say, "One grain of sand, one world." With this grain of sand, you have your own world.
There are many ways to refine this "millet of sand".
The most common method is to refine the world itself. This involves turning continents, oceans, and mountains into essence, and spending boundless magical power and vast amounts of time to slowly refine it into "eternal sand."
This is a low-level Earth Immortal, because the essence of "Heng Sha" still comes from the Great Universe and is affected by the Great Universe.
"As the number of immortals increases, Earth may erupt into war due to resource shortages," Yang Qinglan said.
Becoming a human immortal does not grant eternal life. Therefore, everyone naturally wants to continue to improve their cultivation level. Improving one's cultivation level requires refining the heavens and earth. The earth is only so big, and it can be said that not an inch of land can be lost. War is inevitable.
"It's none of our business, let the Special Operations Bureau worry about it." Li Changzhou was too lazy to care.
He's not an Ultraman who would interfere with humanity's choices; the fate of Earth is decided by Earthlings themselves (he's an alien).
