Chapter 512: Additional Costs of Substitution
Frowning, Jiang Yan pondered whether he should ask Zhi Brain to prepare a new queen bee experiment for him through the Internet link.
In the recent period, he has not done anything else, and has basically spent all his energy on modifying and experimenting with various queen bees collected by Zhi Brain.
Jiang Yan's purpose was to be able to reproduce the powerful weapon of the 'Red Jade Blood Bee' that he had when he was in the Canglan Domain.
It's a pity that so far, he hasn't found a social cluster of creatures with special production functions similar to 'Ruby Blood Bee' in this spirit child world.
First, he relied on the network of slaves and did not collect intelligence, and then Jiang Yan deliberately relied on the aristocratic forces of Angus and the intelligence channels of the Lux Institute, but the result was still not satisfactory.
There are no elven species, and neither are ordinary creatures.
There are some special poisonous bees like the Emerald Bee, but the versatility is too low, and there are no strange things like the 'Red Jade Blood Bee' in the Canglan Domain that can mass-produce 'blood crystals, spirit crystals' and other natural treasures.
When Jiang Yan founded the 'Red Jade Tower' in the Canglan Domain, the 'Red Jade Blood Bee' was a major pillar of his foundation, and it had even become the exclusive feature of the 'Red Jade Tower'.
Now that he has arrived in this Lingzi world with a weak foundation, Jiang Yan's newly built forces are still very weak, and now he naturally wants to create more hole cards.
Spread the sub-machine network, form the sub-machine army of the intelligence system, fabricate the existence of the "alien god", and seek the approval of the indigenous people by creating believers and "alien god contractors" in the name of the mysterious 'god', and slowly infiltrate the territory of the old forces of the local parties.
All of the above are actions on the dark side.
But of course, Jiang Yan doesn't want to let his own sub-machine forces hide in the dark side all the time, so the development is limited after all, just for now, Jiang Yan's sub-machine forces are almost at a bottleneck in the dark side, and if they want to expand in the next step, they will inevitably have to contact the major local forces.
The current 'cake' of this world has basically been divided among the local powers, and in this case, Jiang Yan still wants to talk about it, so he can only go two ways-or cooperate. Or snatch.
If you snatch it, Jiang Yan's current strength is not enough. Then, we can only cooperate.
However, these original local forces are enjoying their own share of the 'cake' on their own territory, why should they give you this guy who appeared out of nowhere?
Therefore, Jiang Yan chose another method - to make the originally limited amount of 'cake' larger, and then select a suitable object, and appropriately share some of the larger cake with the other party, so as to divide the local forces and attract some good guests to resist the remaining bad guests who are not suitable for cooperation.
Since it is cooperation, it must have enough strength, although Jiang Yan actually does not have the strength to confront the top forces with profound backgrounds such as 'Sect Country' and 'Empire' in this world, but fortunately, these local forces are not of the same mind, and even have deep contradictions, and the space for Jiang Yan to operate is very broad.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate.
Jiang Yan's reincarnation on the bright side of this world was born as a member of the Empire, and then he clashed with the Holy Light Church, which was hostile to the Empire, when he was developing the power of the Dark Side. After that, Jiang Yan used the protection of the empire's national fortunes for a while to help him resist the prophecy of the church.
The prophecy was blocked, which made the church not clear about the identity of Jiang Yan who was against them, but by mistake pinned this black cauldron on the head of the empire, and then when Jiang Yan retaliated in the follow-up, the countries of the Western Continent led by the empire stood by, and even faintly intervened when the church was tracking down the enemy, which made the church more convinced of the black cauldron on the head of the empire.
Taking the empire and the church as an example, the contradiction between the local forces is like a barrel of dynamite, it has already reached a stage where it will explode at any time, and Jiang Yan's secret troublemakers have added another fire to it, although these conflicts have been suppressed because of the various 'oracles' issued by the real bosses behind the empire's 'dragon god' and the 'lord' of the sect's various forces, but it is only temporary. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the grand events such as the "Dragon God Festival" and the "Holy Son Selection" are over, it may be the time to settle accounts after the autumn.
At this time, all forces are secretly and actively preparing to expand their own strength to deal with the upcoming chaos, and as a result, the bottom line for some aspects will be loosened a lot.
And Jiang Yan took a fancy to this opportunity and decided to let his own sub-machine forces take advantage of the chaos to enter the game, and officially appeared on the stage to seek more space for development.
For Jiang Yan, who has special abilities and is accustomed to developing a handset network to support himself, the best resource is undoubtedly 'more numerous, more qualified, and more powerful handsets'!
The last two points are not so easy to obtain, but the number is not very difficult.
The believers and contractors of other gods, who appear more and more frequently in the eyes of the world, are the preparations he has long laid for this.
Jiang Yan plans to put his 'submachine network' on the bright side. Of course, this is not meant to be fully exposed, and some embellishments will be done appropriately. For example, the pervasive monitoring capability of the handset network cannot be known to outsiders.
Otherwise, 'personal rights' will be a big problem! Jiang Yan doesn't want to be labeled as a public enemy of the world because of this!
Getting back to the point, it took nearly two years to figure it out, and the signboard of the 'Alien God' that Jiang Yan had planted casually at the beginning has now taken deep root in the land of the Western Continent, and according to the information collected by Zhi Brain, it is known that even if it is an ordinary civilian, at least one out of ten people will have heard of the rumors about the 'Alien God' and its believers and contractors.
Especially in the past month or so, Jiang Yan has deliberately let Zhi Brain spread rumors about "alien gods" among various groups of people through the pervasive network of subcomputers, which is the main reason why the news has spread so widely.
And among these people who have heard the rumors of "alien gods", basically one out of a hundred will join the circle of contractors and even believers of "alien gods" for various reasons, and through the shell of "alien gods", they will become his new subordinates in disguise.
Don't look at the number of alien contractors found by the high-ranking people of various countries now, but in fact, the number of alien contractors hidden in the secret is at least five or six times more than those on the surface!
Well, it needs to be emphasized that although Jiang Yan has long developed 'contractors' externally, in fact, the time for the rapid expansion of the group of 'contractors', and the time when the name of 'alien gods' really became louder, was actually in the last month.
Why?
Because of Jiang Yan at this time, there are two more special inheritance wisdom brains of 'Zos' and 'Shadow Wolf'!
In the past, although Jiang Yan had the intention to speed up the development of the efficiency of the 'contractor', he had no choice but to cultivate the contractor and demonstrate the magical power of the 'alien god' to win the trust of the world, and he had to use Jiang Yan's ability to 'install software' with the help of Jiang Yan's data ability, and this ability, Jiang Yan could only do it himself, because ordinary brains could not do this work for him.
Jiang Yan actually said that he was very helpless, obviously the wisdom of the brains screened and locked out of the potential sub-machine who was willing to sign a contract with him (the alien god) There are many, many potential sub-partners, but unfortunately, he is only one person, and the injuries of the true spirit still need to be recuperated, plus other affairs, how can he have so much effort to spend on the work of the "alien god"?
This is why in the past two years, the sign of "Alien God" has still developed so slowly.
And now it's different, the two newly added inheritance wisdom brains, even if their abilities are still a little inferior to Jiang Yan, but the data-based wisdom brains hardly need to rest, which is enough to complete most of the tasks in the work of the "alien god" instead of Jiang Yan.
Don't look at the fact that there are only two more inheritance wisdom brains now, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this has increased the efficiency of the work of the signboard of "Alien God" several times or even dozens of times at once!
And the recent capture of a few second-level assassins made Jiang Yan very happy, because it meant that he had a few more high-quality materials that could be used to transform into "Inheritance Wisdom Brain", the workload could be further reduced, and the expansion efficiency of the new sub-machine circle of "Alien God" that had developed by the trend would further skyrocket.
Now, the time is right, and Jiang Yan has begun to officially let his own power surface.
Wooing middle-level nobles or high-ranking officials like Angus to become "contractors" in the name of "alien gods" is a tentative 'attack' on various countries.
Because it was just a temptation, Jiang Yan only selected some nobles and high-ranking officials who were neither high nor low in the status of each country, and were basically in middle-level positions, as the targets of the contract.
For example, Angus, although he is a marquis of the Empire, the strength of the contemporary Slint family is a little weak compared to its title and territory, and the current huge Slint family can almost be said to rely on the strength of Angus's old military-level elf envoy and the residual power left by the ancestors of the Slint family in the past.
However, the bloodline inheritance of the dragon descendants in the family has declined, and the new generation is not in flux, whether it is Angus's descendants, children and grandchildren or side members, although there are sporadic and barely reached the realm of military level, but except for the old marquis, there is not even a military high-level, and the strength of the old marquis has not been able to break through to the legendary level for a long time, so that the longevity limit of the pillar of the marquis's family is about to end.
To be honest, Jiang Yan doubted that if he hadn't appeared, it would be very suspenseful whether Angus's Slint family would have been able to maintain its current status as a great noble.
Taking Angus's example as a typical example, Jiang Yan asked the intellectuals to put on the name of "alien gods" to test the target people they recruited, most of them were in a similar situation. This kind of person in a difficult situation, in the face of the bait thrown by the rumored "alien god", the probability of biting the hook is obviously much greater than that of others.
At present, even within the Duragon Empire alone, Jiang Yan has successfully made seven or eight stalwarts and high-ranking officials who have profound backgrounds but are facing the crisis of decline take refuge in him, which is equivalent to driving a deep nail into the interior of the Duragon Empire.
It was these characters that Lukes had talked about in a previous private meeting with Angus.
Many of them are even well hidden, and even Lux's intelligence can't detect the abnormality, and if necessary, they can give the empire a painful backstab at any time according to Jiang Yan's will.
Of course, not only the empire, but also other countries were not left behind, and even through this targeted solicitation, Jiang Yan also secretly controlled the kings of several small countries.
As long as Jiang Yan wants, through these people, he can plunge the entire Western Continent into a situation of civil strife and war at any time.
But unfortunately, this is only a temporary civil strife, unless more foreign enemies take advantage of the situation, it will not be able to truly shake the foundation of those hegemon-level strength in the Western Continent.
Because Jiang Yan didn't dare to extend his claws to those real masters whose strength exceeded the second-level range, that is, the powerhouses of the legendary realm (third-level) in this world evaluation. First, Jiang Yan's current strength has not recovered enough, and he is not sure to suppress it; second, he can't afford the conditions that can make the third-level high-level master feel good.
For example, Angus installed a dragonborn bloodline through Jiang Yan's ability to operate the software before, thus making a breakthrough in his upper life limit and cultivation. But in fact, originally with Angus's own conditions, he could not afford the installation of this kind of advanced software, because the installation of that kind of bloodline software would squeeze a lot of the vitality of the parties as a cost, and his already lifeless body could not afford it at all! If he really wanted to install it forcibly, he would only bring about his own destruction!
However, Jiang Yan gained the experience of another self in the Canglan Domain that had accumulated for more than ten years, and among them was a special solution developed by the Ability. That's the "compensatory model". That is, the installation cost of the software can be paid by Jiang Yan or Inheritance Brain.
Of course, Jiang Yan will not sacrifice himself for others, so the "compensation model" developed by this does not have to be paid by Jiang Yan or the inheritance of the wisdom brain, but can also be apportioned to other objects, but the premise is that the other party is willing to take the initiative to cooperate!
Jiang Yan's incomparably large number of sub-machines naturally meet this condition.
However, I don't know if it is the additional cost of exploiting vulnerabilities, this "compensation model" also has some disadvantages, that is, it will make the 'price' that should be paid when installing the software more heavy!
Let's take a practical example, installing the Dragonborn bloodline for Angus originally cost a quarter of the life of a military master like him in his heyday.
In the case of using the "compensatory mode", this consumption has skyrocketed to four times the original! I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
