569: Chapter 568 A Legendary Encounter!

The moment Zhao Ming woke up from the connection pod.

Thousands of years of memories surged through his mind like a tide, and the impact of that instant almost made him unable to distinguish between virtuality and reality.

But only a few seconds later, he calmed down.

For others, those hundred lifetimes of reincarnation were a nightmare and trauma sufficient to destroy one's sanity.

But for Zhao Ming,

it was more like an unprecedented, extremely realistic immersive historical game.

He had hardly suffered any mental trauma.

Because from beginning to end, he had firmly controlled every one of his lifetimes.

Like the most brilliant chess player, on the chessboard of history, he calmly placed every piece, playing with so-called destiny in the palm of his hand.

Pain?

Sorrow?

To him, those emotions were tools to achieve his goals, not shackles to bind himself.

When he had just woken up from the connection pod,

several medical personnel in white coats had surrounded him, scanning him with various instruments.

Zhao Ming ignored them.

He was just thinking.

At first, he had thought he had traveled back to ancient times.

But later, he gradually realized something was wrong, yet he dared not be certain.

Only now could he be one hundred percent certain that the thousands of years of time he had previously experienced were not some time travel, but a terrifyingly realistic virtual reality world.

This was indeed a test.

An ultimate test designed personally by the legendary figure he admired most, targeting so-called "geniuses" like them!

Just then,

the door to the lounge was pushed open.

Secretary-General Liu walked in with a beaming smile.

"Student Zhao Ming!"

"Congratulations, the test is over, and your results are quite good."

Zhao Ming put down the coffee in his hand.

There was not a hint of surprise or joy on his face; he just nodded calmly.

"Thank you..."

He knew very well that the so-called "good results" were likely just polite talk.

In those hundred lifetimes of reincarnation,

to survive and to achieve his goals, he had done too many things that went against conventional morality.

Such "results," he feared, could hardly be called good in any sense.

However, he did not care.

He never considered himself a good person, nor had he ever thought about being one.

"Come with me, Chief Designer Lin wants to see you."

Secretary-General Liu said with a smile.

Zhao Ming's heart finally skipped a beat, a subtle acceleration.

Chief Designer Lin...

Lin Mo...

This name, to a genius like him who prided himself on high intelligence and looked down on all the "mortals" around him, was the only existence that made him feel genuine admiration and worship from the bottom of his heart.

Now.

Was he finally going to meet this legend in person?

"Okay."

Zhao Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and followed behind Secretary-General Liu.

The two took a dedicated high-speed elevator, going all the way up from the base located two hundred meters underground.

On the transparent outer wall of the elevator, changing floor numbers and structural diagrams were displayed.

Zhao Ming watched the steel and concrete structures whizzing past outside the window, roughly estimating the scale of this underground base in his mind.

Vast and precise.

Impregnable.

It was worthy of Lin Mo's handiwork.

The elevator stopped on the first floor above ground, but the two did not go out; instead, they switched directly to another dedicated elevator leading to the top floor of the main office building.

"Ding—"

The elevator door opened slowly on the top floor.

Outside the door was a quiet corridor, with some incomprehensible star maps and technological conceptual paintings hanging on the walls.

At the end of the corridor,

was a heavy alloy door.

"Go on."
