Yan Yongbo raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair.
"It seems like in your eyes, I'm just a son inheriting my father's shadow, a second-generation rich kid with nothing to do."
Jack shrugged. "I'm just saying that you're much more comfortable than your old man. It's been over three years. Is Professor Yan Hong still in such a sorry state when faced with competition? "
Yan Yongbo didn't mind Jack's mockery at all. Instead, he laughed softly. "No, he's even worse off. He's even starting to be marginalized. There's nothing he can do about it. His research ability is at that level. No matter how much data he obtains, it'll just make him toss and turn for two more days. It'll only get worse after that. Besides … … "
After a slight pause, Yan Yongbo tapped his temple. "I can't imagine how to make a deal with a dead man."
Jack stared at the hologram for a long time before laughing hoarsely. "I thought a sniper would blow my head off just now."
"How is that possible? I originally contacted you with the mentality of making friends. But Jack, your thoughts put me in a difficult position. You're suddenly telling me that you don't want to return to the Deep Blue World? "
"If it wasn't for you, perhaps I would've already boarded the transfer plane? Assistant Yan, you're the source of my inspiration. "
"Oh, ha!"
Yan Yongbo was amused by Jack's counterattack. He confirmed once again that this bastard Jack was indeed mentally unstable. His hint was very clear, alright?
"Jack, Jack. I came to communicate with you with good intentions. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain nucleus?"
Yan Yongbo straightforwardly made things clear. His meaning was very simple.
Whether it was the Apocalypse Laboratory or Quantum Corporation, a cyborg like Jack had to be treated as a consumable while guaranteeing loyalty. They could only use some technical methods.
Like the brain nucleus implanted in Jack's brain. Apart from providing all sorts of advanced thought patterns, it also had monitoring and recording functions. If it was confirmed that Jack had rebelled, the laboratory had specialized equipment to destroy the function of the brain nucleus. Even if Jack didn't die, he would still become a psychopath with severe cognitive impairment.
Yan Yongbo couldn't possibly cooperate with Jack without solving the problem of the brain nucleus. He would only be throwing himself into trouble.
Of course, if Jack really did have such a method … … Oh shit!
Yan Yongbo's eyes suddenly widened in the next moment.
Jack shook his head slightly and grinned. On his pale skin, a layer of dark red light was emitting from the clothes he was wearing.
The surrounding air was warped by the high temperature of the flames. The wooden floor beneath his feet was also charred black by the flames and even ignited.
The problem was that Jack's skin and clothes were not damaged at all, as if the flames were just an illusion.
The dark red light passed through the screen and burned Yan Yongbo's eyes. His body subconsciously leaned forward. Ignoring the stimulation of the flames, he carefully observed the distortion of the surrounding air. After a few seconds, he finally came to a conclusion:
"Format of Fire!"
"As you can see."
Jack's body was still emitting flames. He squinted his eyes slightly. Although he was wrapped in flames, he was enjoying it immensely.
Yan Yongbo was stunned for a long time before saying: "The modification you received, is it Third Generation Burner technology? No, that's not right. I've seen your information. Your artificial organ ratio has reached 55%, far exceeding the upper limit of the Archetype Format's 14% … "
Jack extended his thumb and forefinger, making a stretching motion. "Dynamo Movement Technology."
"Are you trying to make me laugh?"
Yan Yongbo no longer pretended to be deep. He stood up and heavily slapped the table with both hands. "Although I'm a First Generation Burner …"
"The first in the world."
"... Alright, thank you."
Yan Yongbo practically gritted his teeth in thanks. Then he said: "It's true that I'm a First Generation Burner. But after 90 years, for six years, I've practically always been at the Apocalypse Laboratory. I haven't fallen behind in every technological update. From the very beginning when I simply ignited my life force, to the second generation and the exoskeleton armor, to the third generation's internal structural strengthening. Of course, that includes the fourth generation Dynamo Movement Technology. Do you remember, Jack? I just gave you that Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Movement Core! "
Jack moved his fingers and looked at the burning flames coiling between his fingers. He was like a child who had just received an expensive toy, unable to put it down.
"The fourth generation Dynamo Movement Technology you're talking about, is it the laughable result of your old man being led by the nose by others? That castrated version of technology that Quantum Corporation is so pleased with? "
He raised his eyes to meet Yan Yongbo's cold and severe gaze: "My Dynamo Movement Core Technology isn't that complicated. It's just a proper application of the Dynamo Movement Core. It's a crucial method to allow an Altered Human, no, anyone to become a Burner. "
There was a moment of silence both inside and outside the holographic screen.
Luo Nan was already stupefied from watching. He looked down from high above and witnessed the entire process. The large amount of background information overwhelmed him.
Aside from the Dynamo Movement Core and the Deep Blue World that he had already come into contact with, there was also the Apocalypse Laboratory, the excavation of the stargate, and Yan Hong's current whereabouts. Unfortunately, they were all fragmented fragments. Wanting to piece them together was undoubtedly an extremely arduous task.
And naturally, Yan Yongbo's current reaction surprised him the most.
Luo Nan had seen Jack's Format of Fire before. He originally thought that this was a new technology that Quantum Corporation and the powers behind it had secretly promoted. But he understood from Yan Yongbo's reaction that Jack's situation was actually a special case.
Now this was interesting.
According to what Jack said, he was just the head of a miner mining in the Deep Blue World. How could he know all this?
Luo Nan was racking his brains when he suddenly sensed that Rui Wen's breathing rhythm had become a bit chaotic. Some sort of external force had interfered with her deep and calm state, causing layers of ripples to appear.
The source wasn't the interference device within her body, but it came from Jack. It came from Jack's Format of Fire.
The hot wind assaulted, and the calm lake stirred with waves. It hadn't reached the point of surging tides, and the change wasn't particularly intense. But even so, Rui Wen's breathing still instinctively adjusted after a period of disorder.
This adjustment wasn't to return to a state of tranquility. Instead, it was to harmonize with her current state. The rhythm sped up by half a beat.
This increase in speed was inappropriate, and the interference pulses within her brain were thrown into chaos. She needed to increase the output and continue to restrain them, but the speed of the change was clearly a bit lacking.
Luo Nan's mind suddenly perked up, and a bright light flashed:
There should be a huge difference between a person's mental and physical state when they were asleep and when they were awake. There was no reason to maintain a fixed rhythm. The same melody had differences such as Allegro and Adagio …...
It was easy to imagine that Rui Wen's breathing would certainly be at a different rhythm when she was awake. Even her breathing would change during her normal life and intense battle. This made sense.
More importantly, the source of interference within Rui Wen's brain seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of the change in rhythm. And Jack had inexplicably gone crazy. He was tangled up with Yan Yongbo, and he simply didn't pay attention to this side.
A golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens!
Luo Nan stared at Jack. This fellow who had inexplicably gone crazy was still displaying his Format of Fire. Luo Nan was fully aware that the so-called flame was just an external form. The true source of power and interference was the Archetype Format. It was this thing that was completely at odds with Rui Wen's own rhythm and melody.
Format, right? I don't lack formats!
