Chapter 177: Vanished
The outcome of the game left Sarah Kerrigan doubting her life choices. Once a top-tier player, she was utterly crushed by Luo Wen in over a dozen matches.
Under Sarah’s incredulous and admiring gaze, Luo Wen smugly hummed in triumph.
The truth, however, was that Luo Wen had fabricated a Ratfolk body to play the game but secretly equipped it with a pair of absurdly high-refresh-rate eyes.
Coupled with his formidable mental power and reaction speed, it was as if Sarah, a normal person, was competing against someone perpetually in bullet time. It was no surprise she was thoroughly defeated.
Naturally, Luo Wen kept these details to himself.
These days, Luo Wen spent little time gaming. First, the loneliness of being unmatched made it dull. Second, he was now engrossed in various research pursuits, which he found far more captivating than games.
As the Swarm’s Intelligent Entities grew in number, innovations in technology and theoretical knowledge emerged continuously, and Luo Wen eagerly absorbed them all.
If manipulating genes was like piecing together a puzzle, then genes were the individual pieces, and the technologies and knowledge were the blueprint. Without a blueprint, he could only assemble simple patterns. With one, he could create intricate and complex designs.
While immersed in this intellectual endeavor, Luo Wen was suddenly interrupted by an urgent message: one of the Swarm Meteors had inexplicably lost contact.
