SS 19: Shared Brain

Don’t know if it’s his illusion but the gold coins in front of him seemed to have increased a lot.

---

When the two went back to their worlds, the system showed Feng Lianzhu their points. Feng Lianzhu completed the task and got 1000 points, establishing a simple system on the primitive star got him 4000 points for a total of 5000 points.

Feng Lianzhu only based it on the game where players exchange gold coins and experience by helping NPCs do things, so he formulated relatively simple exchange rules for the atavists. It’s actually more rewarding than completing the task, which must have a deep meaning. Unfortunately, with Feng Lianzhu’s current IQ and computing power, he can’t guess the reason.

As for the fat dragon, he seems to have repaid a lot of points by helping the game make maps, suppressing his temper, and playing as Love Lotus paid back some more and the final points were -7600.

As for the system cloud disk with unlimited memory that the fat dragon said, Feng Lianzhu checked the system store for a long time and after repeated confirmation, he saw the product called “Shared Brain” and it takes 10,000 points to redeem this product. It’s not a system cloud disk at all, nor is it unlimited memory, but the ability to lend part of the memory of one’s own brain to others for use through system cloud sharing. How much was borrowed depends on the purchaser.

Buyers redeeming “Shared Brain” in the system mall can see the maximum storage limit and loanable limit of their own brains. They’d set the loaned memory value within the upper limit and this part of the “Shared Brain” will be uploaded to the system. The system then externally plugs this memory into another person’s mind, expanding the other person’s thinking ability.

Since the fat dragon can say there’s unlimited memory, it means that he set the loan value to “unlimited”. “Unlimited” means that he completely opened his brain space to Feng Lianzhu.

This is not to say that Feng Lianzhu’s mind will enter Pang Kirates’ brain, but Feng Lianzhu can use the fat dragon’s brain to carry out advanced psychological activities such as thinking and imagination, but the knowledge gained only belongs to Feng Lianzhu. Even though it’s obviously the fat dragon’s brain, he has no right to use the part occupied by Feng Lianzhu.

The ability of “Shared Brain” is relatively abstract, but to use a realistic analogy, it’s like Pang Kirates has a big house and gave Feng Lianzhu the key to the house. Feng Lianzhu can move around in the house and the room that Feng Lianzhu used will be locked. Pang Kirates will lose control of this room and be unable to enter it. In the same way, if Pang Kirates piled his gold into the house, even Feng Lianzhu can’t get close to this part of the house.

There are obviously two people but they share the same brain.

There’s also a note below the product. A host used this ability to successfully treat a brain-dead friend. The price is that they can only use the same brain in the future.

After seeing the detailed introduction of this product, the blood bar above Feng Lianzhu’s head suddenly became half empty. He’s obviously not attacked but he inexplicably got seriously injured.

The evil fire that was born because of the fat dragon’s unruliness and having his strongest skill deleted has always been firmly pressed by Feng Lianzhu from the bottom of his heart. It went straight from his chest to his forehead and burned the way from his heart to his brain, the memory usage rate was over 90%.

[You are about to be formatted, do you want to connect to the system cloud disk?]

“No!” Feng Lianzhu’s cold voice was rarely filled with a trace of anger, “Is he stupid! His body’s given by his parents, how can he injure himself like this!”

After saying this, Feng Lianzhu angrily laughed. A Kirates Dragon, who’s still a young baby, is not stupid, how did he know these things.

“Can I get Pang Kirates to return the “Shared Brain”?” Feng Lianzhu asked.

[Once the products in the system mall are sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged.]

“Can the settings be changed then? No need for ‘unlimited’ sharing.” Feng Lianzhu asked again.

[The setting is complete and cannot be changed.]

Hearing that it can’t be changed, Feng Lianzhu was so angry that his temples seemed to be pricked by needles. The game’s built-in program in his body is still prompting him “Auto-format after 60 seconds.”

The most ridiculous thing is that this stupid fat dragon didn’t wait for Feng Lianzhu to agree and directly opened the permission for the “Shared Brain” to Feng Lianzhu. He never thought that after Feng Lianzhu received the gift, he’d be silly enough to refuse his request to exchange tasks anyway.

“Auto-format in 10 seconds”, the prompt started the countdown, 10, 9, 8…

If he’s really formatted by the game, he’ll forget about it, forget the anger at this moment, and forget the feeling of wanting to cry and laugh.

Before the last second of the countdown, Feng Lianzhu closed his eyes resignedly and said to the system: “Connect the ‘Shared Brain’.”

An invisible line in the sea of consciousness disappeared into Feng Lianzhu’s eyebrows and his consciousness was enveloped in a boundless gray fog. Feng Lianzhu once thought that the 450,000 square kilometer lair of Pang Kirates was big enough but it’s still possible to touch the edge. However, this fog seemed to have no boundaries and he couldn’t even find his way back.

It seemed like a long time but also just a moment has passed. Feng Lianzhu’s consciousness was groping in the invisible space and suddenly heard a snoring sound.

This sound was like a coordinate. Feng Lianzhu followed the sound and saw a giant mass of black object which was a Kirates Dragon.

He was piled there like a mountain in the darkness, the scales on his body glowing with light, these lights were as lively as if they were alive.

Feng Lianzhu approached the black giant dragon and saw his nose snort fiercely. The eyelids move slightly and a dark blue eye was exposed. As deep as the sea, as far as the sky, quietly looking at Feng Lianzhu.

Feng Lianzhu’s entire body is not as big as this eye, and he saw his figure gradually imprinted on that eye.

[Connection successful.]

The prompt from the system recalled Feng Lianzhu’s thoughts and the formatting crisis has been lifted. Feng Lianzhu returned to his senses and saw that he was still in the Bamboo Valley. There’s no fog around him and time stopped at the second when the “Shared Brain” was connected.

What was that just now? Feng Lianzhu tried hard to recall but he could only think of that dark blue eye and the boundless expanse of thinking without any constraints and limitations.

[Before each task exchange, the host can leave a message.]

The pop-up window of the system regardless of time and space interrupted Feng Lianzhu again. He hurriedly retracted his thoughts and thought about what message to leave to the fat dragon.

The message can be voiced so Feng Lianzhu thought about his wording and then said: “Brother Pang, please don’t change back to your original form. I know that you don’t like being bound but Brother Pang is too big. Restoring your original body will destroy all maps and points will be deducted by the system. Brother Pang already owes too many points and can no longer be deducted. I will transfer the 5000 points in my hand to you through the system and I will also give you points in the future. You and I are bound mutual aid friends and the points owed should also be repaid together.

“Also, this is a game, so all items are virtual. The gold coins hidden by Brother Pang have been recovered by the game company. The next time you see a player, don’t do anything like robbing their warehouse again. You can’t pick the player’s items and looting is also useless. It’s a rule of the game that gamers will treat you as a boss and attack. They didn’t actually have any malicious intentions. Brother Pang just had to kill them, no need to chase after them to the main city.

“Also, all other characters in the game except the players are virtual, they’re fake, mindless marionettes, so don’t tug at their dragon scales or pull their dragon tendons.”

After instructing him, Feng Lianzhu, who had a much broader mind, let out a long sigh and agreed to Pang Kirates’ request for help.

Before leaving, Feng Lianzhu, the owner of Hidden Bamboo Valley, vaguely felt that there were many players entering the valley, well-equipped and of a very high level.

May Brother Pang treat them kindly.

After the exchange, Feng Lianzhu reappeared in the fat dragon’s lair, surrounded by a hill-like pile of gold coins.

Don’t know if it’s his illusion, but the gold coins in front of him seemed to have increased a lot. It’s only been seven days. The ransom he agreed with the interstellar pirates and rebel army is also materials rather than gold coins so the gold coins shouldn’t have increased.

After sharing his brain with the fat dragon, Feng Lianzhu’s thinking speed was much faster. A thought popped into his mind, could it be that Pang Kirates….

Suppressing this thought, Feng Lianzhu said to the system: “What’s the mission of Pang Kirates?”

This time, the system didn’t play the hologram but a text popped up:

[Material abundance is the most basic need, aside from enriching material things, it’s also enriching the spirit. The atavists have only received the most basic compulsory education and have not been exposed to higher education, they lack the theoretical basis for development and growth. The host is the object of respect and reverence by the atavists so the level of knowledge must not be lower than that of the atavists. Please join the atavists to receive education in the Starnet classroom. Atavists can further study according to their own needs. The host, Pang Kirates, must pass the exam and get a diploma from an online university.]

Feng Lianzhu: “…”

He understood why the fat dragon would rather owe 10,000 points than let him complete the task, this learning task is really scary.

Below the task, there’s a line of remarks: This task has a large time span and doesn’t affect the release of other tasks, and can be superimposed to complete.

“Then what if I got it in exchange?” Feng Lianzhu asked.

This task requires at least four to five years to study. Can’t he return to the game world within four or five years? That game company will be screwed over by Pang Kirates!

[The task is divided into four stages: Primary school, junior high school, high school, and university. The university is divided into one, two, three, four, and five time periods. Each stage is regarded as a staged task completion and you will get a return during winter and summer vacation. The online learning time is relatively free. The sooner the host finishes learning, the longer the vacation time.]

It seems like he has to study hard and try to get his primary school diploma sooner.

Pang Kirates had a message when Feng Lianzhu opened the mailbox. After skillfully muting for three seconds, he heard the dragon proudly say: “I got the equipment for the Starnet classroom. You can ask those interstellar pirates how to operate it and study hard!”

Feng Lianzhu: “…”

Interstellar pirates? Shouldn’t they have paid the ransom and returned to their own planet? Where did the fat dragon get the equipment of the Starnet classroom?

Seeing that there were obviously a lot of gold coins around, Feng Lianzhu instantly realized.

The author has something to say:

Fat Dragon: I had a dream just now. I dreamed of a very good-looking little man. Before I stretched out my claws to grab him, I woke up from the dream and was unhappy ￣へ￣

Opening comments made me so happy. The red packets in the previous chapters have been sent, and this chapter continues to send out 200 random red packets, all the way to V!

When will this enter V? I want to enter too, but I have to wait until the word count is enough. TAT
