After transforming into a Fire Seed Life, the energy-depleted Rock Core Clan quickly revived without the burden of physical matter.
Zhou Yi communicated smoothly with it.
Like the Reverse Flow, all names of the Rock Core Clan are very long.
A name is the identity number + personal profile of the Rock Core Clan, including when they were born, their major experiences, what jobs they have, family relationships, whether they have offspring, and so on.
There also include many specific runes.
Zhou Yi named it T, according to the T-like symbol at the beginning.
T said, "Thank you for saving me from a near-death state."
"I am an Observer, and my mission is to constantly observe the Mad Traveler. I have entered two worlds with it, recording its every move and storing this information."
It neither knew why it had to do this, nor had it ever seen the person who issued the commands; it was born with this mission.
Xiao Fu said, "This is how the Rock Core Clan works. They are highly praised tool lifeforms; instructions can be implanted into them during the life incubation stage. Once their self-consciousness is initially formed, they will carry out this order until the command is terminated."
"It won't know who its commander is, which is a kind of protection and also eliminates interference."
"But after transforming into a Fire Seed Life, it forcibly breaks away from the Rock Core Clan's existing rock core calculation method, resulting in an irresistible termination of the command. Hence, it is now in a free state, and all information is accessible."
Zhou Yi was suspicious, "It sounds like you've done this before?"
"I've transformed a Rock Core Clan member before."
Xiao Fu said, "But that guy was a warrior, only good for fighting, not much use, so I tossed him, didn't want to waste space."
"Our advantage as Reverse Flow isn't in fighting; we need to move lightly, leaving space for those Fire Seed Lives I need."
Zhou Yi felt somewhat disheartened.
He had wanted to create a Light Core Body battle guard; instead, he got an Observer.
Xiao Fu had directly thrown away the warrior he found but valued and treasured T.
Joy and sorrow do not intertwine between people.
Zhou Yi quickly adjusted his mindset.
The consciousness information of Observer T was vast.
Just by looking at the appearance of the Memory Core.
It was completely different from the surrounding glass tubes; instead, it was a multifaceted crystal.
This structure reminded Zhou Yi of the Light Core presented by the Warlord.
He asked Xiao Fu, "Are all Memory Cores of the Light Core Bodies like this?"
"That's right. Consciousness and matter will gradually converge; the Memory Core is indeed a life's consciousness structure."
Xiao Fu was excited: "This guy is of good quality, a regular icosahedron, already at the limit of a Light Core Body. Just one step away from the next stage of Transformer. How wonderful! We've got our hands on something good this time!"
Zhou Yi couldn't smile.
Even as a fully matured Light Core Body, it was still an Observer.
This one couldn't attack, it didn't have that capability.
Even if Zhou Yi didn't use Forgotten to enter Space Bubble and blatantly took away the prosthetic leg, this Observer wouldn't initiate any attack. It didn't have this type of behavior or material support.
This was related to the inherent characteristics of the Rock Core Clan.
The physiological structure of the Rock Core Clan matched their instructions.
Like T, it was an Observer, so all its material structures were for observation and recording. All other parts were unnecessary; it was a superb camera and typist.
Unless it was completely dismantled and started from scratch, which would be equivalent to resetting and training from the beginning.
However, on the bright side, T's capabilities and precision were very high.
This Rock Core Clan member had only one ability, called Panoramic Reading.
Zhou Yi synchronized with a segment of its records.
In the panoramic segment, a small figure with a prosthetic leg was chasing a large headless quadruped monster.
The Rock Core Clan was shooting up close the entire time, more like a camera assistant behind the prosthetic leg - as if shooting an outdoor documentary.
But its footage had two layers.
The first layer was the visible material side where the prosthetic leg chased, and the monster fled.
The second layer was the consciousness side, which Zhou Yi could not observe directly.
In this layer, the world turned into a kingdom of ruins composed of black and white bricks, just like when Zhou Yi mined through the Great Holy Spirit.
The Mad Traveler in the consciousness side became a vague huge black shadow. The consciousness outline of the quadruped monster was small.
This was the opposite of the proportion on the material side; here, it was the weaker one.
Apart from being able to see through the consciousness side.
Panoramic recording also provided some textual information description.
Like the prosthetic leg, tagged above its head as Light Core Body LV4·Mad Traveler.
The chased monster was tagged as Light Core Body LV1·Unknown.
Zhou Yi looked at the marked name of the prosthetic leg.
A wealth of related information popped up in his mind immediately.
[The unit has an extremely strong survival ability, nearly capable of absorbing and utilizing all forms of energy.]
[The unit is difficult to destroy, equipped with the ability to evade obstacles and danger, possesses a self-repair mechanism, can disguise and blend into the environment, making it extremely difficult to directly identify.]
[The unit has a self-strengthening and evolutionary mechanism, capable of reaching Transformer and higher levels.]
[The unit has exhibited certain biological traits but is unable to communicate and deeply analyze, unable to determine whether it is life or non-life.]
But for the other monster, the description was just one line.
[The unit has certain intelligence, weak consciousness, and it is calling for help.]
There was a big difference in the amount of information about the two.
Zhou Yi turned to Xiao Fu and asked, "Is there a hierarchy inside the Light Core Body?"
"There is."
The Reverse Flow said, "Light Core Bodies are ranked from low to high from LV1 to LV5."
"This level is closely related to the geometric structure of the Light Core itself. Having more facets allows for greater expansiveness of the Light Core, and stronger transformation capabilities."
"LV1 Light Core is a regular tetrahedron."
"LV2 is a regular hexahedron."
"LV3 is a regular octahedron."
"LV4 is a regular dodecahedron."
"The strongest LV5 is a regular icosahedron."
Xiao Fu emphasized again, "Da Zhou, the value of T is immense. The ability of Panoramic Reading can eliminate information differences to the greatest extent. Its core function is to read the surrounding material environment and consciousness feedback, synthesizing the resulting judgment with very high accuracy."
"Whether it is changes happening in the environment or the inclinations and desires of life itself, T can read through both sides of the world to provide corresponding information cues."
"The civilization that originally created and nurtured T must have invested a lot of effort. To perfect and achieve LV5 level capabilities, the Light Core must be finely polished, which is quite difficult. Of course, to observe the Mad Traveler, such preparations are necessary."
Zhou Yi's brows relaxed as he listened.
Panoramic Reading was actually like this.
Indeed.
In terms of strategic value, it's more important than a Light Core Body enforcer.
Because at least for now, it can be confirmed that there is an atmospheric life ice curling—the Great Holy Spirit is still leveling up in the Forbidden Continent.
And Hei Fu who will complete his development within one to three years.
That makes two.
But Panoramic Reading can observe profound changes in the material side of the world, as well as the analysis of various substances and lives, equivalent to a prompter with built-in analysis capabilities.
The substitute for the upgrade of [Alert] that he had been keen on, he didn't expect to obtain it in this way.
Zhou Yi felt a surge of relief in his heart.
"However, Da Zhou, an LV5 Rock Core Clan Observer is an extremely valuable tool life. Why it was placed in this world must be clarified," Xiao Fu reminded.
Zhou Yi remained cautious and continued to read Observer T's memory information.
In the records of this Observer, it and the Mad Traveler were not originally on Earth.
According to chronological order.
The earliest the fake leg landed was on a lifeless celestial body, where it jumped around everywhere, scouring the entire world and ended up with nothing.
That was the longest period as well.
In the end, the fake leg opened a Space Bubble on that silent celestial body and arrived at a primitive monster world—that's where it chased the four-legged monster.
After reaching there, the fake leg began to collect and capture valuable local substances and lives, turning into a monstrous creature terrorizing the Otherworld.
Suddenly, both the fake leg and T were snatched into a white space.
When T awoke again, it was the time when it spoke with Zhou Yi.
Xiao Fu said, "That world has an owner!"
"It seems they were caught by the local master, stuffed into the Space Bubble, and thrown into the Circular Flow. The local master is probably aware of their origins, unable to destroy them, so they were thrown far away."
"The Space Bubble followed the Circular Flow's rapids, and then spatial displacement occurred, ultimately reaching here."
The Mad Traveler is truly despised by both man and beast.
The general situation was clear.
Zhou Yi filled Panoramic Reading into the last spot on the Fire Chamber Plate and began testing.
He first looked at a piece of iron on the sea floor nearby—previously, T had crashed into it, shattering into debris.
Only a few words before his eyes.
[The material is normal.]
Zhou Yi then looked towards a rapids in the distance, where electric light flickered and thunder could be faintly seen even from afar.
[Energy is flowing, energy level weak.]
He cast his gaze on the nearby Sea God.
[The unit has a degree of intelligence, very weak consciousness, and possesses two special energy structures.]
The Sea God's Circumference Light Device could also be identified.
Light Wheel Well, Circumference Light Device, exactly two.
T's abilities were very suitable for Zhou Yi, who had established them as permanent guests on the Fire Chamber Plate, alongside Tietie and mic master.
All three slots were finally filled.
Zhou Yi then boarded the Sea God, returning with a full load.
...
Upon returning to Sand Port, Zhou Yi called over Ni Ge from the Mud Tree People and asked if it was still possible to find the Space Bubble that leads to the Mud Tree Civilization World.
"No problem. That Space Bubble is sturdy and is located to the north."
Zhou Yi immediately told him about the Mad Traveler and his own suggestion to let the fake leg treasure hunt there while also giving the Insect Swarm a hard time.
"That's great, that's great!"
The Mud Tree Person rubbed hands excitedly: "What's that saying? Even devils can meet their match! To deal with those insects, we need to bring out the big guns, no need for niceties!"
"Chairman, I'll take you there right away."
Ni Ge activated Black Thorn, speeding through the Dead Sea with Zhou Yi.
Along the way, Ni Ge said, "Chairman, does this Traveler eat just about anything?"
Zhou Yi was not sure himself.
This thing was a contraption from a higher-dimensional civilization, with unclear mechanisms.
However, as long as it could go over there, capture valuable items, and bring them back, that would be great.
They reached the target location.
The Space Bubble here was located in a sea cave below—or rather, what used to be a cave on land.
After pondering a bit, Zhou Yi set the Mad Traveler to low-grade treasure hunt mode and threw it into the Space Bubble.
The bizarre contraption shaped like a fake leg was swallowed by the dark mud and quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go."
Just as Zhou Yi turned away to leave.
Suddenly, there was a "pff" sound behind him.
He turned his head to look.
The fake leg had actually broken free from the Space Bubble and hopped back out, returning to Zhou Yi's side.
What's going on?
Did the crossing fail?
Zhou Yi grabbed the handle of the fake leg, deciding to throw it in one more time.
Suddenly, his eyes moved.
Something was not right.
There was something inside the fake leg.
Could it be... the treasure hunt was already complete?
He opened up the Traveler.
Not knowing what it could bring back... the best would be to get some Mud Tree People seeds.
If that didn't work out, bringing back a live Mud Tree Person would do.
But what the fake leg spat out, left Zhou Yi somewhat baffled for a moment.
Why did it bring back a lump of ice?
However, Ni Ge next to him suddenly turned pale: "Chairman, that's the energy block of the Cave People!!!"
