"Gentlemen."

"Ladies."

"Do you know what this means?"

"In at most three years, when the first batch of children receiving education from Beidou grows up, we will widen the gap even more with them!"

Dr. A stood up, glanced around, and said in a low, serious tone, "Do you still think our achievements are impressive now?"

"We have not done nearly enough."

He gestured with his hand, and the scene before them changed rapidly, displaying one gathering place after another, countless faces flashing by like a slideshow. Dr. A said slowly, "Do you think what you see before you truly has the ability to save our civilization?"

"We are not the Genetics Faction."

"Those madmen only think of changing everything through DNA!"

"But we cannot do that."

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

Many people were plunged into deep thought by Dr. A's words. A middle-aged woman, her expression somewhat hesitant, then said, "Do we have to popularize education?"

"With our current resources, it's completely insufficient, and we cannot support so many children."

"Just promoting bionic transformation is already exhausting us."

Upon hearing this, Dr. A adjusted his rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose and said slowly, "Our resources are indeed not enough. But why can't we take control of more resources from the Wasteland World?"

"Water alone takes up one-fifth of a normal person's living expenses."

"How laughable!"

"The water purification device seems to be just an insignificant little invention in our lab, right? Its manufacturing cost is not even comparable to that of an ordinary bionic limb!"

"Yet it has become a tool for those capitalists to amass wealth."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly turned icy, as many people realized that Dr. A wanted to take action against some of the Financial Tycoons' Influence.

"But we have agreements with them," a slightly younger scholar said softly.

The Academy had always accepted sponsorship from the Financial Tycoons' Influence, in exchange for limited research results to be handed over to those financial tycoons.

Dr. A squinted slightly at the young scholar, then said meaningfully, "It's time to make a change!"

The meeting quickly ended.

Dr. A sat alone in the empty meeting room, as if contemplating something, and wrote a line on a white sheet of paper with a pen.

——"Capital is greedy."

Then, he smiled, as if speaking to himself, or perhaps to someone, "I'm not a capitalist, I'm just a scholar in pursuit of truth."

A cold electronic voice sounded: "Doctor."

"It's best not to leave the institute for the time being."

.........

The boundless Galactic Void.

When Su Ziyu's figure returned to this familiar scene once more, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

During these three days, his hands were stained with blood, yet Su Ziyu didn't feel uncomfortable; he only believed it was something he had to do. In the past, he dealt with mutated monsters, but this time, his enemies were mainly humans. It was at this moment that Su Ziyu realized just how terrifying his destructive power was when dealing with ordinary people.

A stronghold with numerous armed personnel could be slaughtered in less than half an hour by him.

Invisibility.

Teleportation.

Spiritual Energy.

When Su Ziyu truly began to regard humans as his hypothetical enemies, he became an unstoppable killing machine. Even those elite troops in Exoskeleton Power Armor appeared in his eyes as nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered. Indeed, if he wished, he could destroy a huge human settlement with his bare hands in half a day.

Of course, he would never do that.

He did not want to become a cold-blooded butcher, an executioner, a ruthless killing machine.

The Hourglass of Time was turning into an invisible bubble, carrying Su Ziyu as it drifted through the endless river of time and space. With no new mission target in sight yet, he pondered for a moment and opened the coordinates of the worlds he had visited before.

Positioning authority is temporarily unavailable.

"Open world coordinates," Su Ziyu said calmly.

As the data stream surged, the waypoints of past worlds appeared in his mind like twinkling stars.

"Coordinate 1: Civilization Level 3, Energy Level 0, Modern Civilization, unable to enter." [Spiritual Energy Revival][Elemental Tide]

"Coordinate 2: Civilization Level 4, Energy Level 2, Dinosaur Era, can be entered." [Unknown Mutation][Civilization Advancement]

"Coordinate 3: Civilization Level 1, Energy Level 1, Snake-man Civilization, can be entered."

"Coordinate 4: Civilization Level 1, Energy Level 2, Medieval Civilization, can be entered."

"Coordinate 5: Civilization Level 3, Energy Level 1, Wasteland Apocalypse, can be entered."

"Coordinate 6: Civilization Level 1, Energy Level 3, Dream Plane, can be entered."

"Coordinate 7: Civilization Level 1, Energy Level 2, Demon Hunting Plane, can be entered."

"Coordinate 8: Civilization Level 3, Energy Level 1, Hundred Ghosts Plane, can be entered." [Marked Plane][Civilization Advancement]

Eh?

Su Ziyu glanced at the list and couldn't help but frown slightly.

It seemed that some changes had occurred in the planes he had previously experienced, with the most significant change in the Dinosaur Plane. If Su Ziyu remembered correctly, its original Civilization Level should have been 0, but now its Civilization Level had risen to 4!

What happened?

Civilization Level 4 is essentially the Interstellar Era, could it be that this plane has been turned into a colony by an alien advanced civilization?

The second change occurred in the Hundred Ghosts Plane.

Its Energy Level dropped to 1, while its Civilization Level increased directly to 3, meaning it reached the standard of modern civilization.

What about Qing Ji?

The first thought that came to Su Ziyu's mind was Qing Ji. If it weren't for the temporary unavailability of Positioning Authority, he would like to go back and take a look immediately.

Why has the Authority Level increased for so long?

And yet unable to enter other planes at will?

Damn!

How can he truly control the Hourglass of Time?

Su Ziyu attempted to connect with the Hourglass of Time using his Spirit, and while there was no problem with the connection, he couldn't control it at all. The Hourglass of Time seemed like a massive vortex, rapidly consuming whatever Energy he injected.

Civilization Level 3, but without mutation prompts, does that mean this plane has entered the modern period?

Wouldn't that mean a thousand years have passed?

It's over.

Will Qing Ji set him on fire the next time they meet?

Su Ziyu felt a bit uneasy.

While he was contemplating, the speed of drifting gradually slowed down, and then three dark red stars appeared before him.

——"Cyberpunk [Moderate Pollution]."

——"Fallen Dragon Kingdom [Deep Pollution]."

——"Dark Soul [Moderate Pollution]."

Why did three mission targets appear this time?

The first mission target is 'Cyberpunk,' a plane Su Ziyu had seen before. To be honest, technological planes don't enhance him much, especially since he already possesses a nuclear bomb.

However, this plane might have some high-tech data, although Su Ziyu doesn't urgently need it right now.

The second mission target is the 'Fallen Dragon Kingdom,' which has also appeared before, but the previous prompt was 'Corrupted Dragon Kingdom,' and now it has become 'Fallen Dragon Kingdom.'

The last mission target is relatively unfamiliar, appearing for the first time with a rather strange prompt: 'Dark Soul.'

Is this a spirit-driven plane?

Which one should he choose?

Su Ziyu fell into contemplation, the Cyberpunk Plane should be the first to be excluded, as he doesn't want to enter the Technology Plane again.

That leaves a choice between two.

One is the deeply polluted Dragon Kingdom, and the other is the entirely unfamiliar Dark Soul. The former is expected to be challenging, while the latter might be a bit easier.

Su Ziyu hesitated a bit.

Should he take a gamble this time, or should he safely choose a manageable pollution difficulty?

Why does he have a feeling he'll fall into a trap?
