I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 121: Chapter 20: Rising Brilliance Revealed

The small robot’s anomaly startled Han Zhan.

Just as he was about to slap it flat, the laughter disappeared.

Then came the familiar recording.

Only this time, the voice in the recording seemed much younger than before.

”I finally researched something that can counter the Celestial Net’s intelligent brain. I reverse-invaded the Celestial Net’s intelligent brain, and it didn’t notice!”

”I named it ’Deep Dive’.”

”The self-learning ability of the Celestial Net is too strong, and the theoretical growth potential is almost limitless. If I don’t leave behind a countermeasure, what will happen when I’m gone?”

”I, Shang Jianyue, am truly a genius! Hahaha!”

”Alas, it’s a pity that the heavens envy the talented. How can one achieve immortality? Damn it! Do I really have to walk the path I calculated theoretically...”

Listening to the recording, Han Zhan finally knew who left these ancient tapes.

Shang Jianyue!

He had heard of this person in Shang Xiaoyun’s memories. He was the first-generation patriarch of the Shang Family and the true founder of the Can Shang Company.

It was under his leadership that the Can Shang Company gradually grew from a small company into a giant corporation spanning multiple countries—a behemoth!

It can be said, without Shang Jianyue, there would be no Can Shang Company.

Shang Jianyue’s achievements in technology were limitless. He was a born genius, pushing research in every aspect to its extreme!

If it weren’t for the relentless passage of time, Shang Jianyue, who eventually died of old age, could have led the Can Shang Company to climb several more steps.

”You... are Shang Jianyue?” Han Zhan looked at the little robot October, whose eyes had become more human-like, and asked somewhat uncertainly.

”No, I’m not.” October shook its head.

It had become more flexible and intelligent than before.

”I obtained Shang Jianyue’s talent from the second ancient tape,” it answered truthfully.

”Shang Jianyue’s talent can be inherited?!” Han Zhan was shocked. He had never heard of this.

”Yes, to put it more simply, it’s like engraving a Soul Imprint inside the ancient tapes; this Soul Imprint was left by Shang Jianyue.”

”However, this technology has been lost, or rather, no one besides Shang Jianyue knows how.”

The Soul Imprint gave the little robot October the same mental talent as Shang Jianyue, combined with its own strong learning ability. How strong was it?

Han Zhan soon got the answer.

”For example, based on the known construction technology and material prices, plus Shang Jianyue’s mental talent.”

”I can help you build a Star Destroyer with a value of one hundred billion Titans at the cost of one billion Titans, with firepower increased fivefold, speed increased tenfold, and energy consumption reduced by fifty percent.”

”I can upgrade an Energy Brick to a Star Level Energy Brick based on one Energy Brick, increasing energy utilization by 500%.”

”I can...”

Han Zhan knew he really found a treasure, just as the old man who repaired the robot had said!

However, before Han Zhan could be happy for long, October delivered a severe message to him.

”The Can Shang Company has already discovered us.”

”Although this time, I preemptively countered and used Zhang Laifu as a virtual target to mislead the Celestial Net once.”

”But with the Celestial Net’s learning and comprehension abilities, once it’s awakened again, it will catch onto the clues and locate our position through these clues.”

Time suddenly became pressing!

”How much time do we have left?” Han Zhan asked calmly after settling himself.

”Half an hour. The Celestial Net’s reawakening time is half an hour, after which it will awaken again.”

...

”Half an hour!”

”Raise the event level of Titan City to the highest level, all combat personnel be on standby.”

”The Abnormal Skeleton Warriors that have already been deployed don’t need to return. Cancel all leave, and halt all ongoing Abnormal Skeleton Transformations, deploy everyone!”

”Quick, search the entire city, investigate suspicious individuals, and arrest immediately upon discovery!”

At the Heaven Net Center, Shang Zexian quickly issued one new order after another.

After hearing the report from the captain of the arrest team, Shang Zexian immediately responded.

He first contacted other Shang Family executives, initiated an emergency meeting again, and then promptly arranged for the entire Titan City’s defense force to follow orders and take action.

The entire city went on alert.

The people of Titan City only saw the Abnormal Skeleton Warriors shuttling through the streets and alleys, and the security robots swiftly patrolling with searchlights.

They had no idea what was happening.

At that moment, Judith heard a knocking on the door, and she instantly woke up, not bothering to dress properly before running excitedly out of the bedroom to open the door.

The person standing outside was not Han Zhan.

Judith felt somewhat disappointed.

The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior, seeing Judith open the door, raised his hand to show the electronic document in his hand. ”You are Judith, right?”

”Yes, I am.” Judith looked at the other party slightly bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

”According to the Celestial Net’s information investigation, Zhang Laifu is your sugar daddy, who has been supporting you for fifteen years since your mother passed away when you were still a minor, correct?”

”Officer? Having a mistress isn’t illegal, right?” Judith frowned. She didn’t like people mentioning her deceased mother and her past.

”Sorry, Ms. Judith, we just wanted to ask if you’ve encountered anything strange recently?”

The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior said this while showing another document.

”If you can provide us with any useful clues, you will receive a reward of one billion Titans. If the clues are proven useful, the reward will increase tenfold to ten billion Titans. You seem to be in need of money.”

Ten billion Titans!

Judith’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this figure.

With ten billion Titans, she could say goodbye to her past, transform into a wealthy lady, and enter high society.

Strange things.

Scenes of Mr. Bob, who claimed to be a gentleman and disliked women, and the quirky small robot beside him quickly flashed through her mind.

”Ms. Judith?” The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior asked again.

Judith shook her head blankly. ”Sorry, as much as I want the money, I haven’t encountered anything strange.”

”Is that so? Alright, sorry to disturb you.” The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior nodded, and Judith closed the door upon hearing that.

Just at the moment the door closed,

The Abnormal Skeleton Warrior outside pressed a single earphone, hearing orders from Shang Zexian.

”She’s lying. An 82-year-old Bob beat a 33-year-old Zhang Laifu; although the surveillance of the entire Dawn Street was artificially deleted, our inquiries revealed that no one had seen an old black man.”

”This so-called Bob must be problematic, follow this line of investigation.”

”Take mandatory actions and control her!”

Judith closed the door, barely took a few steps before suddenly hearing a loud bang from behind.

Immediately, her vision went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
