Chapter 694: Speak! Tell us your wishes!
"Did you choose the second one?"
Talos' tone was slightly surprised.
Compared to Tais, who was directly controlled by the brain worm, Taros, who was controlled indirectly, had a more emotional expression.
"Well, let the test begin!"
Talos looked serious and asked, "Please answer, how many years do I, the emergency mechanism of the Zerg, have to live?"
"Is this a test?"
Dugu Bo really began to doubt his life.
The test only requires answering one question?
That’s a bit too willful!
"But it's difficult to answer this question." The bunny girl thought for a moment and asked Talos, "Do you have any hints?"
“No.” Taros smiled slightly and blinked her eyes playfully, as if she really had the innocence and mischief of a child.
"Zhou Qing, how many years do you think the brain worm lives?" Romantina asked.
"I think the key is not how long it lives, but that it may simply want to find a topic to chat with us."
Zhou Qing turned his head and looked at the huge brain worm that was rising and falling and emitting a faint yellow light. He spoke out his guess openly, "Because we did not actively violate the rules of the swarm. We killed some of the swarm before because the swarm attacked first. We had no choice, and it really had no intention of punishing us.
Based on.
It gives us options, and even if we choose, we can ignore them.
Am I right? "
[As the only intelligent creature that can currently understand part of my thoughts, you are indeed very smart. ]
After getting the brain worm's affirmation, everyone also realized that the brain worm was really afraid of loneliness, but it was also a concrete and independent individual of the swarm consciousness and would not force them to stay to relieve its loneliness, which was quite contradictory.
But it is precisely because of this contradiction that the brain worm, apart from its appearance, looks like a more rational...person.
And Taros, who was occupying the body, seemed to represent the emotional part of the brain worm, or was it simply that Taros's body affected the small rational part occupying Taros's body, making her more emotional?
unknown.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, the Zerg has definitely passed the middle school stage of fighting and killing, so that the thinking mode of this brain worm is also quite "gentle".
However, we must also consider some realistic factors, such as the existence of the divine world.
The current situation is equivalent to a prize-winning guessing contest.
"So, do you want to guess how old I can live?" Talos asked, "If you answer correctly, any wish can come true, but the way to achieve it will be defined by me."
"A thousand years old."
Zhou Qingdao.
"Congratulations, you agreed." Taros clapped her hands, quite happy.
"It feels like you two had discussed this in advance." Romantina suspected that the two were having an "affair" and looked suspicious.
This brain worm must be extremely proficient in mental power. Could it be that it completed a "spiritual communication" with Zhou Qing when she wasn't noticing?
"You can only live for a thousand years?"
Dugu Bo found it hard to believe.
Such a powerful brain worm has a lifespan equivalent to that of a peerless Douluo, even soul beasts cannot compare to it!
Really weird!
"Could it be that he developed too fast and thus had physical defects?" The bunny girl blinked and expressed her guess, "But your ability can definitely make up for this defect, right?"
“It should be designed this way.”
Zhou Qing expressed his conjecture, "The operation of the insect kingdom relies on pheromones and does not require individual intelligence.
Even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, triggering the swarm's defense mechanism and leading to your birth, the swarm consciousness has also set up an insurance in your body to ensure that your independent will leads the swarm back to the old path.
After all, over a long period of time, your thoughts and emotions will become richer and richer, which will also lead to various uncertainties. "
"You are really smart, so why is it a thousand years, and not ten thousand years, or even a hundred years?" Taros obviously realized Zhou Qing's peculiarity -
In this era, it is absolutely impossible for a single intelligent individual to have a level of thinking that transcends the entire society. Everything has a traceable path.
But this human being now has an advanced philosophical outlook... He is worthy of being the representative chosen by this planet whose will is about to perish!
"On this point, I guess."
Zhou Qing did not hide it, "After all, the life span of a peerless Douluo is one thousand years. I think that although the insect swarm is in the Abyss Ruins, it should be able to perceive the rules of the outside world, so it will also adjust the life span of your defense mechanism to adapt to the uncertainty of the outside world.
The history of the human empire is measured in tens of thousands of years, but for the Zerg, a thousand years, or even a shorter time, a hundred years, or ten years, is enough to change the world.
A thousand years is just to eliminate more uncertainties.
The remaining reason is... the time you will punish Taros and Tais for is one thousand years."
clap clap clap!
Talos clapped again and said, "Congratulations, you guessed most of it right, and you speak very well, so in addition to granting you a wish, I will also give you an additional reward: if you have any difficulties in the future, you can talk to me. As for whether to help or not, I will first consider the interests of the entire insect swarm."
Zhou Qing was a little puzzled by this.
It’s not that the brain worm has to consider the interests of the swarm first. This is the instinct of every race. If the brain worm does not consider the swarm, that huge head is definitely suffering from Alzheimer’s.
What puzzled him was that the tone revealed by Taros seemed to be somewhat close to him?
indeed.
Brainworms are afraid of loneliness, but this attitude seems a bit anxious...
After a moment's silence, Zhou Qing could only confirm that his interests were consistent with those of the brain worms and the insect swarm, so they were willing to choose to invest.
"Thank you very much."
"I still prefer you to remove the word 'we' when you address me."
Taros and Brainworm said in unison.
"No problem." Zhou Qing agreed happily, and also understood why the Zerg wanted to design such a "genetic program".
Even though the brain worm's intelligence comes from the swarm and is the embodiment of the swarm's will, the concept of "I" already existed at the moment of its birth.
Even if it itself acknowledges that "I" is "we", it is still just a three-dimensional creature, not a higher-dimensional creature.
However, the operation mode of the entire Zerg Kingdom and the mysterious Zerg consciousness seem to resemble those of higher-dimensional creatures in Zhou Qing's eyes.
On the contrary, the three-dimensional creature that embodies the swarm consciousness: the brain worm, seems like an individual with "reduced dimension".
"So--"
Talos smiled and said, "The next step is the real awarding. Tell me what your wish is. I can help you realize it no matter what it is, but only one."
Zhou Qing: “…”
What kind of Shenlong-like speech is this?
However, Zhou Qing did not have high expectations for the scope of the brain worm's ability to fulfill wishes. After all, the other party was definitely not omniscient and omnipotent. It could only do various things that seemed incredible to other low-level civilizations.
Especially since the other party also said something like "The way to realize my dream is to follow my own ideas"...
By the way——
Could it be that the Heart of Dreams was created by the Zerg?
