The Rule-Breaker of the Doomsday Game

Ring Island was located on a patch of international waters, untouched by the territories of any nation.

It was by taking advantage of this convenient location that Watchman Morning Company successfully occupied the island using its own wealth and resources.

However, as far as the nations were concerned, the island had never been theirs to begin with, so getting some benefits out of the deal was a good thing.

So, when Watchman Morning Company pushed to obtain permanent usage rights for Ring Island, they all eagerly voted in favor.

Soon, this place became the core headquarters of Watchman Morning Company. It possessed a massive armed force and was also the only area unaffected by the outbreak of the Profound Virus.

The nations of the world had fallen, leaving Ring Island as the only intact human faction.

As for the survivors? While they were also human, they came from the Otherworld and couldn’t be considered native humans.

’Seriously, this security is a bit much,’ Qi Suian thought as he secretly slipped onto the island.

The surveillance here was incredibly strict; you could say there were no blind spots whatsoever.

Thankfully, his Tai Sui God had evolved three times. However, doing so had also exhausted all the resources in the nearby strategic warehouses that could be used as evolution materials.

But in return, he had gained three powerful SSS-rank modules.

[SSS·Quantum Dynamic Structure Chip]

[SSS·Shadow Navigator Unit]

[SSS·Windrider Aviation System]

These three modules corresponded to AI enhancement, stealth, and flight, respectively.

Qi Suian had spent a considerable amount of time finding suitable modules. This led to him running all over the place searching for the corresponding prototypes, all before he could even finish the research on upgrading his talent.

Later, due to Chunyu Bao’s death, he had to temporarily halt his research on upgrading his talent.

But it didn’t matter. Qi Suian wasn’t the stubborn type who insisted on finishing his talent advancement before making a move.

After all, even if his virus-hosting talent were upgraded, it wouldn’t directly affect his combat power. For him, it merely held the potential for future strength increases.

So, he decisively let it go and just charged headfirst to Ring Island to steal their secrets.

’Strange, something in the center of the island seems to be attracting me.’

’No, to be precise, it seems to be attracting the Profound Virus inside my body.’

After he set foot on the island, this urge grew more and more intense, giving Qi Suian an overwhelming impulse to obtain that object, no matter what.

’Could it be the ??? described in Celestial Fate: Profound?’ Qi Suian quickly locked onto his target.

This wasn’t just groundless speculation; it was supported by a certain amount of data.

After all, his Celestial Fate: Profound was basically plot armor, but it required certain things to be maintained.

And Watchman Dawn, who had always been at odds with him, just so happened to possess it. Qi Suian had seen this kind of trope plenty of times in novels.

’No wonder I always think about just charging in here to kill everyone instead of poaching their people first. It turns out it’s because I need to get my hands on the thing that’s attracting me.’ Qi Suian shamelessly designated the object as his own.

’Unfortunately, I can’t win in a straight fight, so I’ll just have Watchman Dawn hold onto it for me for now.’

’Besides, even if I got my hands on it, I might not be able to control it.’

Qi Suian quickly pushed the impulse aside.

His body had already developed numerous problems from extensive, destructive modifications and experiments, but this had also brought him one advantage.

Namely, that the hormones produced by his body had a negligible effect on his thought processes.

For example, if he saw a beautiful woman, his body would tell him she was his type. His rational mind, however, would just say, ’You can think about it, but that’s it. We still have experiments to do.’

A vast rift had formed between his body’s instincts and his own consciousness.

So, even if the "little head" got stirred up, it couldn’t affect the "big head’s" thinking. On the contrary, the brain would seem to say, ’Dare to distract me and I’ll slap you so hard you won’t be able to stand up straight.’

At a time like this, how could Qi Suian possibly entertain such chaotic thoughts?

"AI, what’s the status?" Qi Suian asked.

[Dawn Firewall breached. Searching and copying the complete database...]

The AI was certainly efficient, especially after being augmented by the Quantum Dynamic Structure Chip. Its processing power, logic, and other aspects had increased dramatically. Like the Artificial Crystal Vein Alloy module, it was a percentage-based boost that would never become obsolete.

At this point, Qi Suian finally understood. No wonder the AI had said there was no upper limit to the modules. If you could just keep stacking them like nesting dolls, how could there ever be a limit?

You could form massive numbers of combinations and synergies, or even just stack a single type of module to create one that was powerful enough on its own.

"There’s no risk of being discovered, right?" Qi Suian asked.

[Rest assured. It is impossible for Dawn to detect this. Its operational logic is too primitive, even with its powerful servers.]

"Oh? Then make a note of the servers’ location. Next time we fight our way in here, we’ll grab the servers first." Hearing this, Qi Suian thought, ’Now that’s some good stuff.’

After all, the Quantum Dynamic Structure Chip he now possessed was originally just a CPU Qi Suian had salvaged from a computer market.

If it hadn’t been boosted to SSS-rank, it likely wouldn’t be nearly this powerful.

As for the Shadow Navigator Unit, that thing was really just an anti-radar coating. It couldn’t make him invisible, but it could counter electronic equipment.

So, while he was invisible to radar and surveillance, he could still be seen with the naked eye.

The hardest one to acquire was the Windrider Aviation System. That thing was a real pain. In the end, with no other options, Qi Suian just found a helicopter and stuffed it in.

As for where the helicopter came from... well, Chunyu Bao and the task force he’d led to hunt him down had one.

So, when it was time to find his next module, Qi Suian planned to stuff that fighter jet in as well and see what kind of module he’d get.

The weapons mounted on the helicopter were also integrated, but not onto the Tai Sui God itself. Instead, they became extra attachments for the Floating Cannons.

They could now fire fleck-like Ghost Energy Bullets. Plus, because of the three evolutions, the number of Floating Cannons had reached five, making them even more powerful.

The AI was certainly reliable.

[I recommend you choose a satellite for your next module. It will significantly enhance your signal.] 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

[Suggested satellite target: The Immortal.]

As Qi Suian examined the layout of the Watchman Morning Dawn Headquarters, a smile spread across his face upon hearing the AI’s suggestion. "That’s devious, but I like it."

The Immortal Satellite belonged to Watchman Morning Company. The technology it used was considered cutting-edge and it had all sorts of applications.

That made it a very suitable choice for a module. Of course, other satellites would work too, but choosing an enemy’s satellite would not only get him a module but also weaken the enemy.

An opportunity to kill two birds with one stone was something Qi Suian would naturally not refuse.

"The Windrider Aviation System and the Expedition-Grade Ecological Recycling System should be enough to get me to Outer Space, right?"
