Chapter 306 – Physique Improves
One hour after HAL was connected to the internet, astonishing results had already started showing.
Servers, supercomputers, personal computers, KTV platforms, monitoring systems, weather satellites, military radio stations… So long as it was an electronic item connected to the internet, HAL would be connected.
Meanwhile, thanks to the huge amount of data and computing power these electronic items provided, HAL had completed thousands of knowledge and technological breakthroughs in just one hour.
“It’s completed…”
Inside HAL’s hall, the white, middle-aged professor’s eyes turned bloodshot as he quickly flipped through the code written by the team he led. With a trembling tone, he repeated, “It’s really completed…”
“What’s completed?” the CEO asked.
“Intelligence has emerged.” With a contented expression, the professor said, “From now on, HAL can be considered an intelligent life in a sense.”
“Can you elaborate?”
“Of course.” Sliding his finger across the circular screen and exiting HAL’s database, the professor said excitedly, “In the world of artificial intelligence, the birth of intelligence requires computing power. However, computing power is never an essential reason for the birth of wisdom and thinking. Just like the human brain, despite being limited in computing power, it possesses powerful logical reasoning ability.
“Computers use logic gates to map the most basic logical relationships, and logic gates form logic circuits, which are then used to map and store more complex upper-level logic. Therefore, computers can map logical relationships through logic gates and inherited circuits. A computer’s “thinking” process is as such: accepting data, a.n.a.lyzing data using logical relationships, and obtaining results.
“On the other hand, the human brain’s learning of logical relations relies on reasoning and induction. In contrast, the integrated circuit structure composed of computer logic gates is fixed. It cannot be changed dynamically, and the self-organization of the data structure is completely lost. If this point isn’t changed, then computers will have to forever rely on the data description provided and the programs written by humans to ‘think.’
“However, just now, after acquiring data from the global internet, HAL’s heuristic program has, with evolution as its focus, succeeded in automatically reversing underlying logic and completing the fuzzification of mathematical logic. Finally, similar to humans, HAL is capable of ignoring unstructured abnormalities. This is the foundation for the birth of thinking, consciousness, and emotions!
“To put it simply, HAL’s world is no longer composed of just 0s and 1s.
“Mr. CEO, do you understand what I’m saying?”
With a dazed expression, the CEO asked, “What did you say?”
“…”
“OK, let’s not talk about those specialized subjects. What the board of directors and I want to know is how long we have to wait before we can start reaping benefits?”
“We can start now.” Spreading his arms, the professor said, “The world, is ours…”
…
Jinzhou City, Chen family’s abode:
After walking through the portal and seeing his bedroom’s opened door and Little Peach’s absence in his room, Chen Yu tensed up immediately before rushing out of his room.
After exiting his room, the first thing he saw was Little Peach holding onto the Amnesia Bat while eyeing the sofa with a serious gaze.
Meanwhile, lying unconscious on the sofa were Mother Chen, Chen Yike, Chen Erke, Chen Sanke, and the husky…
Walking forward hesitantly, Chen Yu scrutinized his sleeping family briefly before asking Little Peach, “W-What are you doing?”
“Huh? Mr. Chen, you’re back?!” Little Peach turned her head around sharply and jumped up in excitement when she heard Chen Yu’s voice. “Today’s livestream lasted for so long.”
“Uh?” Seemingly awakened by Little Peach’s shouting, Chen Erke sat up from the sofa in a daze and rubbed her weary eyes.
Seeing this, Little Peach skillfully swung the Amnesia Bat at Chen Erke, “Hup!”
Thump!
Chen Erke collapsed back onto the sofa and fell asleep.
Grasping at his hair, Chen Yu bellowed, “Big Sis! What the heck are you doing?!”
“Heh!” Picking up the rubber chicken sitting on the coffee table, Little Peach gave it a squeeze before saying, “Like you said, I took the initiative to attack!”
“Even so, is there a need to keep hitting them?!”
“The best way to silence someone is to kill them. But as I cannot kill your family, I had them remain unconscious throughout this time,” Little Peach said while sending the Amnesia Bat smashing into Mother Chen, who started showing signs of awakening as well. “The Amnesia Bat has an excellent health care function. It even thoroughly healed your second sister’s cold.”
“Well, thank you very much.”
“I am only doing what I should.”
s.n.a.t.c.hing the Amnesia Bat, Chen Yu smacked Little Peach’s forehead and said, “Carry them back to their rooms. If you continue smacking them, they won’t even remember what happened yesterday.”
“Mr. Chen, won’t you play for a while?”
“Scram.”
Storing the Amnesia Bat away, Chen Yu returned to his room and opened the curtains. As he scanned the scenery outside the window, he suddenly felt as if he had nothing to do.
After resting on his bed for a short moment, he raised his wrist and swiped his finger across his watch to inspect his harvest from today’s livestream.
He had garnered a total of 48.77 million viewers from the ten livestream rooms, and they netted him 1,625 points. Combined with his leftover points, he now had 1,860 points in total.
With such a small amount of points, he wouldn’t even be able to exchange for a Miniature Antimatter Destruction Generator. However, since he had nothing better to do, he still decided to check the Transdimensional Store.

Upon seeing the fourth product, Chen Yu’s eyes lit up in excitement. After sitting up and rereading the product description, he purchased the item without hesitation.
The next moment, s.p.a.ce in the middle of the room twisted, forming a white whirlpool.
Boom. The white box landed.
The wormhole then slowly disappeared.
Taking a step forward, Chen Yu picked up the box and tore off the seal.
Opening the box, Chen Yu found a spiral syringe inside. It looked exactly the same as the syringe that contained the First Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection. The liquid contained inside the syringe was also blue in color. Unlike the First Generation version though, the Second Generation’s liquid had sequins inside, and they sparkled like stars when sunlight shone on them.
Meanwhile, written on the syringe’s exterior were the following words:
Superhuman Group’s Honorary Product.
“It’s them again…”
Taking the syringe out of the box, Chen Yu held it up to the window and carefully inspected it.
Compared to the First Generation version, the blue liquid inside the Second Generation’s syringe seemed to flow much more quickly.
“It’s looking more and more like the t-Virus.”
After skillfully removing the syringe’s cap, Chen Yu placed the needle against his shoulder and pushed down!
Stab!
The moment the needle stabbed into Chen Yu’s muscle tissue, the syringe’s spiral structure began to rotate and squeeze, pushing the blue liquid into his body.
Buzz— Click.
Five seconds later, all of the liquid was injected, and the red indicator on the syringe lit up.
Quickly, Chen Yu removed the needle and licked the needle wound.
The bleeding stopped immediately.
Now that he had achieved success in life, he no longer had a need to exchange the empty syringe for another product. Tossing the syringe onto his desk, he laid on his bed and waited for the drug to take effect.
He could clearly sense that the Second Generation NE Sodium Gene Injection was much more effective than the First Generation version. In less than five minutes, his skin turned faintly red, and steam was rising off of his body.
Half a minute later, he found the heat somewhat unbearable and took off his shirt. Only then did he feel cool again.
However, at this time, Little Peach, who had completed her task, skipped and hopped into the bedroom. And upon seeing Chen Yu only in his shorts, her eyes flashed red instantly.
“Mr. Chen! You’re finally ready?!”
Chen Yu: “???”
Tear!
Tearing off her dress, Little Peach pounced on Chen Yu while cheering. “Ura!”
Chen Yu: “!!!”
