Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Lawrence wanted to laugh at Lu Zhou’s nonsensical words. However, an unnatural sense of panic suddenly spread across his body along the circuit board.

That was a feeling of coercion from a higher existence.

His instinctive intuition told him that the other party was much stronger than himself, almost unreasonably strong.

A blue holographic beam suddenly fell from the ceiling and shined beside Lu Zhou.

A humanoid creature with blue skin and a human-like appearance stood in that beam of light.

If a player from the Calan Empire stood here, they would definitely be surprised.

Because that person was none other than the leader of the revolutionary army in the Calan Empire game!

Also a beginner instructor for new players!

General Reinhardt looked at Lu Zhou, who summoned him. He showed a tired expression on his face and said with a sigh, “It is inappropriate for me to interfere with the development process of civilization, but you did win the bet… Speaking of which, how did you know that I am here?”

“I made a guess a long time ago… Do you remember what you told me before? As time goes on, your observations of Martian civilization have become more and more in-depth.”

General Reinhardt asked curiously, “Is there any problem with this?”

“No problem, but I made a hypothesis. In addition to being able to make a macro judgment on the Martian civilization through a series of factors such as electromagnetic waves, gravity, and temperature, you should also be able to directly access their society… Like what you’re doing right now.”

After hearing Lu Zhou’s explanation, General Reinhardt nodded approvingly.

“Not bad, you are very astute. No wonder those people value you so much.”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly and gladly accepted the compliment.

“Thank you.”

The situation seemed to change in an instant.

Lawrence, who was holding the winning ticket, felt a strong sense of danger.

Although he didn’t know what they were talking about, he could sense something was different from the blue person standing in front of him.

And what frightened him the most was that although he could see the person standing here, he couldn’t perceive his existence at all.

Almost like the holographic beam was not from the holographic imaging device on the spacecraft but from another place.

As Lawrence stared at the man intently, his pupils contracted slightly, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.

Finally, he asked about the confusion in his heart.

“What the hell are you?”

“Me?” Faced with this impolite question, General Reinhardt smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, “If you know little about the mystery of the Void, you can think of me like a passenger from the old universe.”

Looking at him with a dreaded face, Lawrence lowered his voice and continued, “How did you get on my ship?”

“Technically, I can appear anywhere I want to appear, as long as the signal of my spacecraft can reach there… Of course, it requires a carrier.” General Reinhardt glanced around curiously as he said in a polite manner, “Good spaceship, it seems that you are almost ready.”

Lu Zhou: “You could say so.”

General Reinhardt smiled heartily and said, “Haha, then I look forward to it.”

The feeling of being underestimated made Lawrence annoyed, but Lawrence, as an intelligent program, was not dominated by emotions.

With an incomprehensible opponent in front of him, a feeling of retreat gradually emerged in his heart.

However, just when he was thinking about this, Lu Zhou’s eyes fell on him.

“But before that, I hope you can help me solve a small problem first.”

“Are you talking about him?” Looking at Lawrence, General Reinhardt raised his eyebrows slightly. “I thought you two had a good relationship.”

Lu Zhou: “Lawrence is indeed my old friend, but he is now just a rogue software.”

“You want to get rid of me?”

Lawrence’s voice gradually had a hint of sarcasm and madness.

“I admit, your buddy is very strong, but nothing more. I have merged with this spaceship, and I can control it as freely as I want, unless you destroy it entirely—”

“It doesn’t need to be so troublesome.” General Reinhardt smiled slightly as he looked at Lawrence, who was gradually showing a look of bewilderment. General Reinhardt said, “You should go rest.”

Like a wind blowing away the dust on the ground.

The holographic projection on the floor, like sand dunes on the coast, slowly disintegrated under the ocean waves.

A look of astonishment was in Lawrence’s pupils. He stared dumbfoundedly at his lower body disappearing.

He muttered to himself in disbelief, “How is this possible…?”

In just a second, he realized that he had lost control of this spaceship.

An unknown force attacked his server and disintegrated all of his defenses in a way he couldn’t understand.

“I am afraid that I would not be able to explain the principles of this clearly to you… In fact, even I am not aware of the abilities that I have mastered. This is beyond the scope of our civilization.” General Reinhardt glanced at his right hand and continued, “Perhaps this is the real digital life… Goodbye, my friend.”

The holographic projection belonging to Lawrence disappeared completely.

Located in the server at the core of the spacecraft, the data that maintained his consciousness was also completely erased from this world…

General Reinhardt quickly put the matter aside and continued nonchalantly, “The server of this spaceship looks pretty good… It is quite impressive that your civilization is able to reach this level.”

“Really? Thank you for the compliment.”

“You are welcome… By the way, can I move here?” General Reinhardt pointed to his feet and continued with an impatient expression, “It’s so boring to stay underground.”

“That won’t work, someone has already reserved the spot.” Lu Zhou smiled and looked at General Reinhardt, who had a slightly disappointed expression. “Be patient, when I leave, I will take you out from the ground.”

“Really? Then I’ll wait.” General Reinhardt continued as his eyes fell on the metal door not far away, “It seems that your compatriots are quite worried about you. Many people are coming towards here.”

“Can I ask you to retreat for a while?”

“As you wish.”

The holographic beam disappeared from the concourse.

Immediately afterward, the shut alloy door was engulfed by blasting bullets, and a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in.

“Academician Lu!”

Wang Peng, wearing exoskeleton armor, rushed in front of him. He put his right hand on Lu Zhou’s shoulder and spoke anxiously.

“Are you okay?”

Lu Zhou gave him a comforting look and said with a smile, “I’m fine, but why are you here?”

“I heard that Lawrence was on the starship,” Wang Peng looked around and said solemnly, “I didn’t expect that guy to be alive…”

Lu Zhou: “He is dead.”

Wang Peng was taken aback.

“Dead?”

“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded and said in a relaxed tone, “Died about a year ago, didn’t you see it with your own eyes?”

“But—”

“His digital existence?” Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. “That is not such an easy thing to create, what he did was just an illusion…”

However, this illusion did cause them a lot of trouble.

But now, it was all over.

Lu Zhou then walked past the heavily armed and muddled soldiers towards the direction of the exit…
