Chapter 335: Second Executive Officer, Optimized Person

Jiang Yi's heartbeat quickened slightly.

"Doctor? The Doctor is waiting for me!"

"So this is the reason why I'm feeling uneasy!"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the attack route and escape route appeared in his mind at the same time.

"Are you nervous?" The doctor held a transparent test tube in his hand. There was a black viscous liquid in the test tube, and bubbles were coming out of the liquid.

There were several large boxes beside him, and a dozen Fatui were guarding the carriage.

"Before leaving Liyue, I made a detour to come find you!"

"I hope this meeting won't disappoint me."

"Would you like to talk to me? Like an alchemist, like a scholar. However, if you like things that seem mysterious to mortals, Liyue's way of speaking is fine too."

Jiang Yi sensed the flow of the earth veins beneath his feet, looking straight ahead, judging the threat posed by this doctor.

There seemed to be some small devices full of black technology arranged around, forming a special barrier, which made his sharp ears unable to hear the movements of these Fatui.

I only discovered them when I stepped into the barrier.

"What rank do you hold among the Fatui executive officers, Doctor?" He asked with a smile, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, bringing out a kind of transcendent peace.

Because the doctor was here, the depressing sky suddenly became sunny.

The fools, who didn't dare to make a sound and were silent, felt as if they had come back to life from their wooden statues and wanted to answer Jiang Yi's questions.

"Do you care about these? They are as boring as consumables." The doctor was standing on a small hill, overlooking Jiang Yi. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Fatui fell silent, with awe in their hearts, as if they were worshiping a god.

"I am the Eleventh Executor, Second in Command." He is patient, more patient than the terrified Fools would have thought.

"Oh!" Jiang Yi responded, seemingly not caring about the answer. He just wanted to use simple questions to delay time so that he could finish observing and sketching the doctor.

The thing in that test tube is the remnant of the devil!

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"What do you think humans are?" the doctor asked the question and then answered it.

"I think people are just sufficiently complex machines that can be taken apart, modified and optimized to achieve better performance."

"Whether or not they possess the Eye of God, regardless of their physique or martial arts skills, optimized people can display powers beyond common sense."

"Even based on this theory, as long as I have enough materials and enough time, I can create even a god."

Despite the shocking remarks, the doctor spoke calmly without a trace of arrogance.

Because he proposed this theory many, many years ago, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

This is a theory that was denounced as heresy by the Sumeru Institute, once the country of wisdom.

It was also the opportunity for him to join Zhidong, and it is also the research topic he is currently practicing.

"Do you agree?"

"You have grown from an ordinary person to someone who can seriously injure Ajax in less than a year. I am very curious about you."

Ajax is Tartaglia. Ajax will not take the initiative to expose his serious injuries, but he can't hide his weakness. The mobilized supplies make him feel that the Demon King's armed forces have been damaged.

In the intelligence submitted by the other party to the Queen, two names appeared that caught his attention.

Although he is in Liyue, he is also in Winter. This is his ability.

After analysis, he locked on one person.

"I have studied your information, every node of your growth trajectory..." The doctor's mouth slightly raised, "I have a scholar's intuition that you have a special quality."

“Optimize your own traits.”

"An anomaly that cannot be concealed no matter how you cover it up."

The doctor held the test tube and said, "Mr. Jiang, are you willing to carry out an experiment with me, or... let me see your battle?"

"Let us acquire knowledge from each other and achieve success."

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment.

Is this the Doctor? Awesome.

The other party came here to find him, as expected...

"Isn't it common sense that you can become stronger and better after exercising? I just work a little harder than the average person and have a little more talent than the average person!"

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Can this also attract you?"

"Energy cannot be created out of nothing, nor can it disappear out of nothing. Every bit of strength of a living being requires the transformation of energy in the world. I was lucky to receive help from some powerful beings and gained some nutrition."

"You talked about optimization, about creating gods... ha!" He suddenly became amused, "You yourself said that you need enough materials and enough time."

"In essence, it is nothing more than replacing the original weak energy with stronger energy to reconstruct a powerful creature. Ordinary people absorb energy through sweat and exercise, which is less efficient. You use the wisdom born from learning countless knowledge to transform living beings, which is more efficient, but not very surprising."

“A lot of time and money has been spent on study and research.”

“The roads are just different paths that lead to the same destination.”

"If you can defy the laws of energy and turn the stone beneath my feet into gold directly without any external force, then I will admire you."

"I have seen the advance team of the Fatui, the Lightning Warlock, and the Debt Collector... Are they the results of your optimization?"

Jiang Yi's smile disappeared and his tone became cold.

"You go against human theory, experiment on humans, use other people's sacrifices, other people's lives and time to take shortcuts for yourself. Do you think you are very wise? Do you think you are a scholar?"

"I've seen your profile in Mond, Doctor!"

"Forcefully recruit the people of the seven nations as experimental subjects."

"What a lot of crimes!"

The comics before the time travel, and Xumi’s experimental records in the game plot... countless words and pictures flashed by.

"The so-called optimized people are nothing but beasts without morals who only pursue power and knowledge!"

"We have nothing to talk about, as we don't share the same ideals."

"Are you here to be the guinea pig in this experiment?"

Jiang Yi taunted.

Experiment? Knowledge exchange?

You are worthy of communicating with me.

"Eh... this is difficult!" The doctor looked at Jiang Yi who suddenly turned hostile. Such a meaningless communication really couldn't convince the other party to cooperate with the experiment.

"Scholars should focus on knowledge, but you are still trapped in boring good and evil, and are constrained by the moral cage defined by humans."

"Let me show you my insignificant achievements!"

"Since you have seen the information about me in the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius, you should be able to recognize these powers."

“Although it is something that will be thrown away, it can still be recycled.”

“Without exercise, by breaking down and reconstructing, man becomes a powerful creature.”

"Using the power of the demon god for one's own benefit, one becomes a follower of the demon god."

The Doctor clapped his hands.

Three Fatui walked out from the side of the carriage. They were not the advance team, but just ordinary people.

At this moment, they raised their heads and evil energy burst out from their bodies. The black and purple energy was extremely sticky, like a burning flame.

There were also movements from the boxes around the doctor. They opened one by one, and the mechanical parts were automatically assembled.
