Chapter 308: A Pill

Words : 1721 Updated : Oct 7th, 2025

The ‘moon’ referred to by this astronomer named Mr. Rudolph was in fact the natural satellite of this planet. Of course, in their own language, this satellite was not called ‘moon’ but some other term, but for the sake of easier understanding, Xiao Yu directly translated the word as ‘moon.’ After finishing this summary, the program was about to end. Xiao Yu lost interest in continuing to watch and began wandering aimlessly forward. “The signal coverage here isn’t bad,” Xiao Yu murmured to himself, and a thought arose in his mind. So, he emitted a bit of a signal himself, establishing contact with something here similar to a mobile communication base. Then, leveraging this connection, he gradually deepened the intrusion, penetrating all the way into the network of this planet. In that instant, an enormous volume of information came surging in. To Xiao Yu as he was now, this was naturally nothing at all. Even if it were ten times more, he could easily handle it. But for the chip inside the head of the body Xiao Yu was controlling, it was utterly fatal. The volume of data relayed had already exceeded its carrying capacity. The massive data relay caused this chip to directly “freeze.” This meant it could no longer process signals such as muscle coordination, hearing, touch, and vision. As a result, this body abruptly collapsed to the ground. Xiao Yu immediately began adjusting the chip’s structure, optimizing algorithms, performing all sorts of work. He used as much as one three-millionth of his computing power and spent several dozen minutes to complete it. Only then did Xiao Yu remember that under his control, there was still another body in a crowded place. “Uh, I hope this body is still alive and hasn’t been run over by a car,” Xiao Yu muttered, reconnecting to this body. He once again regained all kinds of sensory information, touch, taste, vision, and hearing. Xiao Yu discovered that this body was no longer on the street. It seemed to be in a room of some medical institution. The information from the taste organ of this body allowed Xiao Yu to easily identify the taste of amoxicillin. “You’re awake?” This body’s hearing organ picked up a bit of sound and conveyed it to Xiao Yu. He turned his head and saw a female who, judged by the standards of these intelligent beings, looked exceptionally beautiful, gazing at him with a hint of concern. The corners of Xiao Yu’s mouth curved into a smile again, but he still did not speak. “Doctor, doctor, he’s awake!” the woman called out. A doctor in a white coat walked over. “Young man, how are you feeling? Any better?” the doctor asked. “They probably didn’t scan this body’s head,” Xiao Yu thought. “If they had scanned it, they would have discovered that this body had no brain tissue, only a chip.” According to this planet’s customs, Xiao Yu lightly shook his head to indicate that he was fine. “I’d say you were just overworked, mentally exhausted, and a bit weak, so you fainted. Nothing serious. But young man, you really ought to thank this young lady, she brought you to the hospital and even paid your medical expenses...” The doctor prattled on. Xiao Yu felt impatient and tried to sit up, but was immediately pressed back down by the female intelligent being. “Don’t try to move around so quickly. You just woke up. Your body is still weak. Rest a little longer.” “At least by the moral standards of Earth’s era, this female intelligent being has quite good character. Hmm, then I’ll give her a little benefit.” At that moment, Xiao Yu’s eyes became vacant, because the chip inside this body was now engaged in enormous computation. Through this body’s eyes, Xiao Yu gathered the facial and bodily features of this female intelligent being. Then he directly invaded this planet’s government institutions and obtained all her basic records. Next, using this basic information, he cross-referenced it throughout the entire internet. Almost instantly, he had grasped all of this female intelligent being’s records from childhood to the present. “Hmm... Yesterday, she posted an article on the internet, in which she seemed to be saying that she was troubled by something. Alright, I have already reconstructed her recent activity trajectory through this planet’s ubiquitous surveillance system, obtained her purchase records via the commercial system, retrieved her educational background through the education system, acquired her social connections through the social and communication systems, and accessed her health information via the medical system. Gradually cross-referencing... Hmm, so that’s how it is. I really didn’t see it before, she’s already suffering from a terminal illness.” With the technology of a Level 5 Civilization as his foundation, Xiao Yu was truly omnipotent and omniscient on this planet. Anything, so long as Xiao Yu wished to know it, he could know. Xiao Yu wanted to understand exactly what was troubling this female intelligent being, and in the next moment, he knew. Perhaps Xiao Yu’s vacant gaze had startled her, as this female intelligent being watched Xiao Yu with some nervousness. A moment later, Xiao Yu had already recovered his composure, and the face of this body once again showed a smile. “Your name is Luya. You are twenty-two years old. Half a month ago, you learned you were suffering from a terminal illness... but it doesn’t matter. I can save you. Look.” While speaking, Xiao Yu manipulated this body to extend a hand. As if performing magic, a white pill appeared in Xiao Yu’s hand. “Swallow it,” Xiao Yu said with a smile. This trick wasn’t anything miraculous. Creating an invisibility cloak was no difficulty at all for Xiao Yu, merely a matter of refracting and reflecting light. Just a moment earlier, Xiao Yu had used such a flying device equipped with invisibility technology to retrieve this pill from a biological laboratory and place it in the palm of his hand. The Luka Civilization, the other civilizations, and Xiao Yu himself had all been conducting research in biological science. Through studying the body of the intelligent being Xiao Yu had kidnapped, he had completely mastered all biological data of these Level 2 Civilization intelligent beings. With the overwhelming technological prowess of a Level 5 Civilization, any disease afflicting a Level 2 Civilization intelligent being became exceedingly trivial. The female intelligent being stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu continued to smile as he controlled the body to produce a slightly stiff voice. “Open your mouth.” In Xiao Yu’s voice was a majesty that permitted no refusal. Luya instinctively opened her mouth, and Xiao Yu placed the pill inside. Then, Luya’s body suddenly convulsed violently. Xiao Yu knew this was simply the natural reaction to the potent medicine. Before they could react, Xiao Yu had already gotten down from the hospital bed, wearing a gentle smile as he walked out of the ward. “Th-this is... what... what’s happening?” The doctor in the white coat finally came to his senses and hurried toward Xiao Yu, shouting. “Young man, please stay, you...” He suddenly fell silent, because he discovered that Xiao Yu had abruptly vanished, just disappeared into thin air. “This is a miracle, a true miracle... Could it be... Could it be that the gods have finally manifested themselves?” He muttered, quickly hurrying back to grab the still-dazed Luya, then rushed into the examination room. “Y-you were diagnosed with a terminal illness, weren’t you? The medical system’s records can’t possibly be wrong. You clearly had no more than half a year to live. How can you suddenly be a perfectly healthy person? Just what exactly did that young man make you swallow? This, this...” “I-I’ve recovered? Truly? Doctor, is it true?” Looking at the doctor, who seemed bewildered but kept nodding vigorously, Luya finally could no longer control her emotions. She squatted down and began to sob loudly. At this moment, Xiao Yu had already appeared on another street not far from there. Today’s weather was quite pleasant. The heat emitted by this red dwarf star made the air perfectly comfortable, neither hot nor cold. The sensory organs of this body told Xiao Yu that it was enjoying this kind of climate very much. Thus, Xiao Yu’s mood also became very good. “So many people... All of them will become my vassals, all of them will contribute their strength to the development of my technology... Very good. Very good.” Xiao Yu maintained a constant connection with the internet of this planet. No information online could escape his awareness. Amid the tremendous flood of data, Xiao Yu keenly spotted another article posted by the female intelligent being he had just saved. The article was posted just moments ago, obviously after Xiao Yu had left. “Today I encountered the incarnation of a god... My name is Luya. I am a terminally ill patient. The medical system’s treatment records can prove this, but now I am completely healed. The whole process feels as if it were a dream... Today, I rescued a young man who looked very ordinary... That was how it happened. If I could see him again, I would give my life without hesitation...” Xiao Yu could keenly sense that the entire article radiated a kind of joyful emotion. “A trifling effort. Merely a trifling effort,” Xiao Yu thought with a smile. “You will have the chance to see me again.” The information on the internet was chaotic and vast. In the ocean of data as boundless as the stars, Xiao Yu casually selected some that were useful to him and began reading them. “Rudolph is lying! There really is an alien fleet on the far side of the moon! If you don’t believe it, look at the footage I took with my own telescope!” “Asteroid Number 19357 will collide with the home planet in two months! Its diameter is twenty kilometers, we will all die in the impact! The government has already begun secret operations! I have authoritative firsthand information to prove it!” [T/N: I totally understand why people on Earth didn’t listen to Xiao Yu, that interaction lmao.]
