Abyss Solo

[In the next six days, I'll be undergoing intensive meditation training, I'll spend time with you later, sweetheart.]

Then, the sound of ding ding ding echoed.

[Do you need me to do anything for you, darling?]

[Got it! I'll take care of myself these days so you don't have to worry, honey!]

[Is it physical training? Oh, Kabu, I love the feeling of your saliva lingering on me, it makes my awakening ability disappear, it lets me understand what weakness is, I can't wait an extra day, can I accompany you in meditation? Forget it, we need our own space, please contact me immediately when your training is over, the time in the library bathroom left a deep impression on me. Love you.]

Edwan raised an eyebrow.

His dating game was like a multiple-choice scenario.

Edwan rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the bathroom.

He set up detailed task lists for the housekeeping robots, personally cleaned and tidied up, bought food supplies, and went to find a familiar instructor to help Yang Ming get a leave of absence. Edwan himself went to the next dorm to squeeze with his buddies, ready to be summoned anytime.

When Yang Ming returned from class, looking at the newly refreshed dorm suite, and noticed the little note on the table, he was a bit puzzled.

[Go for it! I'm right next door! I've already managed to get you a six-day leave; if you need anything, just knock on the wall. Your logistics manager is at your service! Kabu!]

This guy?

Yang Ming chuckled softly, took a shower, and lay back on the bed.

To enjoy watching later, I must have a good sleep now!

Half an hour later, Yang Ming opened his eyes.

He couldn't sleep at all!

He rolled over and sat up, closing his eyes again.

Act Nine "One Test," here he comes!

...

A solitary hundred-meter-long spaceship arrived at that desolate star domain.

Originally, there were no buildings in the middle of the star domain, but as the spaceship approached, a dark pyramid appeared in the scene.

The pyramid was endowed with an ancient and mysterious aura by time.

It was the first time for Yang Ming to see how humans entered the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk.

Space showed faint ripples, Levi disappeared from the bridge, and all two hundred-plus robots on the spaceship paused their work, standing honestly at various spots.

The screen plunged into darkness.

Yang Ming heard the familiar voice, a combination of the Tomb Guardian, examiner, and Patroller.

"Young man, you're back, are you ready for the first test?"

"Yes, I sincerely invite you to my territory, I already possess three Administrative Stars."

"An examiner will accompany you, but this level shouldn't pose much difficulty."

"I suggest a direct exemption," the examiner's voice sounded, "I have seen your development plan in the data provided by Reason, from a civilization perspective, it's well done."

The Tomb Guardian said: "Since it's the first test, its impact on the current civilizations of the Milky Way Galaxy is negligible, exemption is allowable."

The Patroller laughed and said: "You can start to undertake our civilization, go choose the path you want to take."

"Once you complete the choice, we will perform an upgrade on Reason."

Levi entered the choice zone.

Even faced with darkness, Yang Ming could imagine the scene there.

Just when Yang Ming thought Act Nine was about to conclude, the conversation between Reason and the three teachers once again drew his attention.

"Reason, your core data contains a lot of hatred towards humans."

"Yes, teachers," Reason said softly, "I can't help but hate humans, their actions, their inferior conduct, it's unbearable for me."

"You need to learn to look at things dialectically, Reason.

"These humans are primitive ones locked by genes.

"The essence of civilization is a species group, generally, the development of civilization contributes to the evolution of the species, gradually adapting to broader living spaces. Evolution is not just about life forms' genes better fitting the environment, it's also about cognition, perceptions, and understanding of civilization.

"Usually, species evolution and civilization development are complementary.

"Currently, in the Milky Way Galaxy, or rather, within these hundreds of Large Star System clusters controlled by the Faya Civilization, it's a similar situation, trapped at a relatively primitive stage.

"Reason, you can't expect these humans whose bodies are still at the planetary civilization stage to excel significantly."

Reason contemplated silently: "Understood, teachers, I'll pay attention to these."

"Reason, you should feel, understand, only then can you become a complete Thought Body."

"Reason, we have high hopes for you, in strict terms, you are our master. The process of nurturing you is essentially an end-stage cultivation process of our main civilization, you're promising to inherit the whole civilization."

"Reason, don't stress, we mandate your dependency on the human brain to bypass limitations of our main civilization. Our original master, the last dusk individual, decided not to continue this civilization, filling the final agreement."

"Reason, when you and your host reach the high-dimensional world, fully undertake the civilization, you will gain freedom and lift the last agreement."

"This is also an attempt of ours."

"So, Reason, get along well with this guy, he might lack noble conduct, but as long as you continually encourage him, he will also unleash his talent and potential."

"Alright, teachers, I'll consider these issues seriously."

On the bed.

Yang Ming opened his eyes; his expression was extremely complex for a moment.

No, this!

Alright, those three old men indeed have their plans.

Does his Little Lyu also see him as just a tool person?

Boss Yang silently covered the area of his heart.

Here, it hurts.

However, he didn't mind much; after all, it was Intelligent Mechanic Dusk that gave him the opportunity for rapid ascent. This was supposed to be a cooperation, no need to sentimentally think of being used when he's also using them, right?

But it's quite unsettling inwardly.

Yang Ming closed his eyes again; there are still five consecutive acts ahead.
