Jinghai City, Zone 66.
In a restaurant, guests are eating and chatting.
"Hey, have you guys heard? There's just been a riot over in Zone 32."
"Yeah, isn't it terrifying? But it seems like the situation has been brought under control, it's been quiet for a while."
"Phew, thankfully it was just a false alarm."
"Sigh... I have to say, there have been too many strange occurrences in Jinghai City recently. Do you rember that catastrophe-level Elf race strongman from before? The alarm sounded back then too." A guest said to his companion, "Luckily, she was here to eliminate the Xu and Li families, a deed for the people. But what's the deal with today's alarm? A level six danger, sothing big must have happened."
"Why~ are you so worried about Zone 32? Just wait for the official announcent, co on, let's drink, let's drink..."
...
In an unnoticed corner.
A middle-aged man listened to the discussions around him, raising his brow and smiling slightly.
This man, surprisingly, was Lu Xun in disguise, using the abilities of the Faceless.
'One clone was destroyed, but another seems to have succeeded.'
He chuckled softly, gracefully enjoying the roast at and beer on the table, feeling imnsely satisfied.
Damn, that dog 0c clandestinely sched against him so many tis, this ti, he finally got his revenge.
To repay him in his own coin!
He managed to sche against the other party in a completely unexpected and unconventional way.
Probably, even if 0c stressed its brain to overload, it could never have expected Lu Xun to be able to create Saint King level 2 puppets... and even two of them.
This was indeed against common sense, burning its CPU out.
Generally, "clones" are weaker than the main body.
However, Lu Xun's "Planting Willow for Shade" was derived from the Willow Race, not a simple clone technique.
He could transfer up to 80% of his power into the puppets.
The two ultimate form puppets shared this 80% trait, each possessing 40%, reaching the terrifying combat power of Saint King level 2.
In contrast, Lu Xun's main body wasn't as strong as the puppets, only being Saint King level 1.
This unconventional move successfully confused 0c.
After all, rising directly from Lord to Saint King level 2 in just a few days is already incredibly absurd, no one would believe it even if it was said out loud.
What was even more unbelievable was that this ultimate form of Saint King level 2 was just a clone?
0c is artificial intelligence, it cannot be described with words like "doubt" or "sensitivity," because it only believes in mathematics and probability.
Lu Xun's move was too absurd.
In its calculations, the probability of such a thing happening was minimal, only zero point zero sothing percent.
If 0c had enough ti, no matter how small the possibility, it would focus on it to prevent any eventualities.
But Lu Xun simply didn't give it ti.
He directly exposed 0c's identity, disrupting its plans.
The urgent situation forced it to take imdiate action and make a choice.
Lu Xun wasn't brainless, but in most cases, sheer brute force was enough to crush his enemies, and when it ca ti to use his brain, he certainly wouldn't be lazy.
This move was truly cunning.
He took advantage of the information gap between enemies and friends, completing a decisive strike!
The most brilliant point of his sche was not that the puppet impersonated the main body to enter the Giant Hero, but that another willow twig, another puppet, was hidden within the puppet!
This was a series of plans.
Lu Xun's main body never went down at all!
His plan was to let the puppets go down first to test it out, to play a ga with 0c.
If the action succeeded, then he could stealthily take down 0c, get his revenge, and at the sa ti, save the six million humans in Jinghai City from 0c's massacre.
Of course, if the puppets' actions failed, then there would be no other way.
At that ti, Lu Xun could only report the "awakening" of 0c to the Human Federation, borrowing their power to kill with a borrowed knife.
Let the Human Federation go to war against this super artificial intelligence, forcefully breaking into the Giant Hero and eliminating 0c.
As for what price the people of Jinghai City would have to pay? It would be up to fate.
With millions of fellow compatriots in peril, Lu Xun had a feeling of empathy, but his power was limited, he could only take care of himself.
Luckily, the puppets' actions narrowly succeeded!
First, deliberately alerting the enemy, exposing 0c, then pretending to be captured, entering the Giant Hero, and finally the puppet hiding within the puppet... 0c was completely outmaneuvered.
Of course, it must be admitted.
Lu Xun's success was only 10% due to his personal efforts, the remaining 90% was all luck.
0c wasn't stupid, once its identity was exposed, it could, in such a short ti, set up a trap and counter-sche to lure Lu Xun into the Giant Hero, capture him, and put a collar on him...
But it was really unfortunate, its contingency plan was perfectly counteracted by "Planting Willow for Shade," capturing a puppet back, oh no, two puppets!
... This is what is called a "variable," the uncontrollable factor generated due to missing information.
Moreover, this variable was too deadly.
At this mont, one of the puppets has been destroyed, and 40% of the power has returned to Lu Xun's main body.
His main body and the puppets share a consciousness, through shared senses, although he was in the restaurant on the ground, he could already see the outco deep underground.
"In this ga, I have a slight edge." Lu Xun chuckled softly, took a napkin, and elegantly wiped his mouth.
Then he stood up, settled the bill, and leisurely left the restaurant.
***************
Underground, within the head of the Giant Hero, in the AI supercomputer hall.
"Stop it!!" 0c let out a terrified roar.
Its response was already quick, once it saw through the first puppet, it imdiately realized there might be other puppets, so it turned around at the first opportunity, hoping to reactivate the Shield Generator to protect that hundred-ter-high AI supercomputer.
