End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: The Mechanical Puppet Technique
Jeremy relayed the information he had acquired from The Eye of Omniscience to Bonnie and the others.

Upon hearing the term “High-dimensional data.” a trace of confusion flickered across Bonnie’s face. From her perspective, what she sensed was undoubtedly a powerful energy, not mere data.

“Are you absolutely certain about your assessment? Why is it that I perceive it as energy rather than data? If it truly is data, how could this data coalesce?” Bonnie questioned, her voice tinged with skepticism.

From Bonnie’s perspective, only energies with the same attributes could attract each other. Regardless of any unique properties it might possess, High-dimensional data was, after all, just data.

Why Could This Data Intermingle? And What Utility Does Intermingled Data Have?

Faced with Bonnie’s probing questions, Jeremy found himself momentarily at a loss for words. Given the sheer complexity of these issues, Jeremy found himself at a loss for answers.

“Why can this data intermingle? And what utility does intermingled data have?” Bonnie pressed, her curiosity undiminished.

Jeremy hesitated, grappling with the intricacies. “The questions you’re asking are beyond my current understanding. All I know is that this powerful energy is referred to as High-dimensional data. Furthermore, I am aware that this data can transform machinery into mechanical monstrosities. Our task is to harness the data core to aggregate all the High-dimensional data.

By doing so, we can reduce the number of mechanical monsters within The Iron Lairinstance.”

At this point, a realization seemed to dawn on Jeremy.

He turned to address the other three members of the group, “If all the mechanical monsters are indeed generated by High-dimensional data, then there is a remarkably straightforward method to swiftly eliminate the creatures in the Moonlight City industrial district.

We simply need to collect all the High-dimensional data present in the district. This approach will not only furnish us with more High-dimensional data but also ensure the safety of Moonlight City.”

Bonnie was initially taken aback by Jeremy’s proposal, but she quickly nodded in agreement.

She recognized the brilliance of Jeremy’s strategy and its potential to significantly aid her father, Benjamin.

If Jeremy could indeed neutralize the threats in the Moonlight City industrial district, Benjamin would no longer live in constant fear.

“I think discussing these matters now might be somewhat premature. Let’s press on and focus on completing The Iron Lairinstance as our top priority.” Bonnie suggested, urging the group to continue their mission.

At this particular moment, Claire decided to articulate her own perspective.

Jeremy nodded in agreement, “You’re absolutely right. We must clear this instance as quickly as possible. Once we’ve gathered sufficient High-dimensional data, we won’t need to search for further clues.

We can head directly to the areas with the highest concentrations of High-dimensional data. The more data there is, the higher the level of the mechanical monsters will be.”

With that, Jeremy continued to use the mechanical core to probe the surrounding density of High-dimensional data.

Under Jeremy’s guidance, the group swiftly advanced towards the central region of The Iron Lairinstance.

During their progress, Jeremy and his companions inevitably encountered mechanical monsters of lesser strength.

Rather than opting to eliminate them outright, Jeremy chose a different approach.

He utilized the High-dimensional data within the data core.

Jeremy discovered that High-dimensional data could actually control the mechanical monsters. If he could become more proficient in using High-dimensional data, he might even be able to turn these mechanical monsters into his own puppets.

The moment Jeremy contemplated this possibility, a notification from The Eye of Omniscience echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have conceived a brand-new skill through your own reasoning.]

In the depths of Jeremy’s mind, a skill book emitting a yellow glow materialized out of thin air.

Name: [The Mechanical Puppet Technique]

Quality: [Gold]

Skill Description: [The essence of machinery is data, High-dimensional data can manipulate any mechanical life form. Upon activation, the user can see the data core of mechanical beings. With sufficient High-dimensional data, the user can employ The Mechanical Puppet Technique to fully convert mechanical life forms into their own puppets.]

“What an unexpected delight! To acquire an additional skill under these circumstances, and one specifically designed to target mechanical monsters no less.”

Jeremy couldn’t help but let a faint smile tug at the corners of his mouth.

He considered himself to be exceptionally fortunate.

Claire, Bonnie, and Emma all noticed the change in Jeremy’s expression, though they couldn’t fathom the reason behind it.

“What’s going on? Did you just think of something particularly exciting?” Claire inquired with a touch of concern in her voice.

As Jeremy’s psychologist, she was naturally worried about any potential deterioration in his mental state.

Jeremy, with a slight furrow in his brow, shook his head in quiet resignation.

“It’s not that I thought of something particularly joyful, rather, I’ve suddenly encountered something truly worth celebrating.” Pausing for a moment to ensure he had everyone’s attention, he continued.

“During our previous battle, I discovered a skill book. I’ve just finished learning it, and now I possess a brand-new skill: [The Mechanical Puppet Technique].”

Jeremy then proceeded to explain the details of [The Mechanical Puppet Technique].

Bonnie, Emma, and Claire all expressed their happiness for Jeremy.

They also recognized that this new skill could significantly aid their actions within The Iron Lairinstance.

“So, as long as you have enough High-dimensional data, you could even convert the boss of The Iron Lairinstance into your mechanical puppet?” Emma asked Jeremy directly.

Jeremy nodded briefly, only to follow it with a subtle shake of his head, as if caught in a moment of indecision.

“Theoretically, yes. However, the boss of The Iron Lairinstance undoubtedly possesses a tremendous amount of High-dimensional data. To convert it into my mechanical puppet would require an enormous amount of High-dimensional data.

In fact, even if we pooled all the High-dimensional data within The Iron Lair, it still might not be sufficient to transform the instance boss into a mechanical puppet. Therefore, we still need to prepare for the final boss battle.”

Upon hearing Jeremy’s explanation, Emma felt a tinge of disappointment, though she understood that it was unrealistic to expect The Iron Lair instance to be easily conquered.

As they continued on their journey, Jeremy utilized the High-dimensional data from his data core to convert several mechanical monsters into mechanical puppets.

The consumption of High-dimensional data for [The Mechanical Puppet Technique] was substantial, Jeremy realized that he needed over five times the High-dimensional data of a mechanical monster to convert it into a puppet.

“I currently lack the High-dimensional data needed to convert a significant number of ordinary mechanical monsters into puppets. Moreover, it seems that High-dimensional data serves other purposes.I can’t afford to spend all of it on puppet conversions. Hence, after converting these few mechanical puppets, I won’t convert any more for now.”

The mechanical puppets Jeremy had converted became their modes of transportation.

They rode on the mechanical puppets.

Preserving their own strength for any challenging battles that might lie ahead.

With the help of the mechanical puppets, Jeremy and his companions made swift progress.

After approximately two hours, they finally arrived at the outskirts of a massive mechanical town.

The town appeared to be inhabited by numerous mechanical monsters, and at its center stood a towering structure that reached into the sky.

Jeremy vaguely saw that the towering structure was continuously emitting High-dimensional data. “If my guess is correct, the boss of The Iron Lair instance resides within that tower. It seems all the High-dimensional data is being projected from there.” He speculated.

Upon hearing Jeremy’s words, everyone turned their gaze toward the towering structure.

Claire and Emma, naturally, couldn’t see the High-dimensional data emanating from the tower. Bonnie could only perceive a certain energy fluctuation around it.

Nonetheless, Bonnie felt that the energy fluctuation she observed was akin to the power of the “Sun.”

“What should we do now? Are we going to let you venture alone like before? If we keep letting you face the dangers by yourself, how are we supposed to improve our combat skills?”

At this moment, Claire turned directly to Jeremy and posed her question.

Claire understood that Jeremy was concerned for their safety. However, in her view, it wasn’t fair to let Jeremy bear all the risks alone.

Moreover, they too had awakened their respective talents and should contribute to the battles.

Emma nodded in agreement.

“I know you’re looking out for us, but if you keep protecting us, we won’t be able to improve our abilities. So this time, let us join you.”

Jeremy looked from Emma to Claire.

He felt that their participation might not be very helpful in the fight, in fact, they might even hold him back. Nonetheless, he couldn’t deny the validity of their arguments.

Therefore, he decided to consult Bonnie’s opinion.

“What do you think?” Jeremy asked Bonnie calmly.

Without any hesitation, Bonnie replied, “I believe they are right. I also want to be part of your next actions. Only by doing so can we gain the necessary experience.”
