Chapter 7 War Robot 108_1

```

The extremely serious discussion about the survival and destruction of civilization crumbled in an instant after Logic mentioned "adding money," leaving Tony full of question marks.

When facing a high-level civilization, what's the point of money?

It's like a billionaire wouldn't care about a dollar in a beggar's hand.

You're kidding me, right?

Logic stopped pretending, folded up his computer, and leaned back with his legs crossed in an utterly nonchalant position. "Can't help it, though, the Three-Body Civilization is mighty powerful, but what does it have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary cleaner."

This is about striving for average wealth.

If a billionaire averages out with me, we're both millionaires, but in reality, they are awesome, and I am trash.

Then Logic added, "The development of civilizations is not the same, all scientific research is always accompanied by chance and uniqueness. When I'm destroying universal civilizations, I always observe the development of that civilization. If unique scientific technologies emerge, that means the other party has its independence and individual value, and therefore a reason to exist, get it?"

Tony got it in an instant, and on the spot, he packaged a portion of his technological library, including the Mark Armors, Jekoli Missiles, Jarvis's smart program suite, and even his most core technology, the Ark Reactor, and uploaded it to Logic.

So thoughtful.

So this is what duping someone feels like.

It's just so satisfying!

No wonder Mr. Mark never wants to innovate; this kind of direct copy-pasting, using it for oneself, feels fantastic.

Logic felt like an evil landlord who didn't have to do a single thing and effortlessly reaped other people's hard work of an entire year, and to make matters even better, made them extremely grateful.

He took out his computer and copied all these technologies, then put on a show of assessing them, slightly frowning, "There's a little lack of technology..."

Tony immediately got nervous, "This is only part of my technology, there's much more unique tech in the world, I can help you collect it, just give me some more time!"

Looking at the anxious Tony.

Logic couldn't help feeling satisfied inside, the feeling of fleecing was simply exhilarating, but he also knew not to push too far...

Give him a taste of the carrot.

So he spoke up, "I can give you another year's time, I might even leave Sophon with you, so you can observe the whole Earth and better help the Three-Body Civilization to gather related technologies."

"If you do well."

"I may consider letting you join Three-Body, bring your tiny broken ball into the fold of the Three-Body Civilization, and help humanity enter the spacefaring age. That's still within my authority."

Logic skillfully sold Tony a vision, just like the pie in the sky his manager sold him when he first entered the workforce, "Just submit some technology, and Earth will welcome a brighter future, not only will technological productivity increase by leaps and bounds, but you will also enter the spacefaring age and obtain countless resources, Earthlings' lifespans will be greatly extended, there will be no diseases to worry about, and you will have a wonderful life! Tony! I believe in you! Go for it! Ollie give!"

After saying his piece, he exited the Marvel Universe, the vast cosmic projection disappeared, leaving only the empty wall.

Tony suddenly felt a huge sense of relief, he felt like it had all been a dream, until he cautiously called out, "Logic?"

No voice responded.

And before his eyes, a familiar line of text appeared on his retina.

"Hello, I am Sophon, pleased to serve you! Congratulations, you have completed 99% of the process, just one more percent of contributions and you can join the Three-Body Civilization, go collect that data!"

Ninety-nine percent.

Only one percent away...

Tony's heart wavered in an instant, maybe, just maybe, he was so close!!

...

Three-Body.

Logic was tallying up the technology he had duped out of Tony, with his mouth nearly twisted in a smile, not just because he got a whole bunch of advanced technology through his bluffing.

The technology of the Marvel Universe is groundbreaking; never mind the Mark Armors, just the Ark Reactor alone is something that would take current humanity who knows how many years of effort to achieve, not to mention a miniature Ark Reactor!

This could lead to an explosive growth in the power of the ETO organization.

```

Especially after taking over the leadership of the ETO organization from Evans, Logic was worried that someone might not be satisfied and choose to challenge him, but now he didn't have the slightest worry.

As long as he threw out the technology of the Ark Reactor he had in his hands, he would become the new god in the hearts of all members of the organization!

However, compared to the joy of bluffing his way to the technology,

what made him even happier was something else.

He had discovered the true purpose of the Penguin System, which was to continuously open QQ Space, accessing other dimensions, and intimidate them with lower-dimension strikes, then, like a landlord exploiting peasants, repeatedly collect rent and tribute.

The more QQ Spaces he opened, the more dimensions he accessed, the more resources he would get, and the richer his technology would become.

He didn't even have to do it himself.

He could establish a vast empire that spanned hundreds of universes!

"The world belongs to Three-Body!"

"Three-Body belongs to Logic!"

"Tremble!"

Thinking of the beautiful future, Logic couldn't help but snicker with a hehe, truly a fortune rained from the sky while he sat at home.

"In other words, I don't need to put in too much effort, I just need to maintain the current situation and wait to unlock more QQ Spaces."

"Although the Three-Body Civilization isn't a threat to me because I'm not the real Logic, I understand the Dark Forest Law better than the Trisolarans and can threaten them to buzz off at any time!"

"But I still can't be careless."

"After all, what humanity is best at is civil war, and while I can guard against the Trisolarans, I may not be so adept at anticipating the schemes of humanity."

Logic thought for a moment, then wrote down his most urgent need on paper: survival!

He needed to avoid revealing his understanding of the Dark Forest Law in front of the Trisolarans, and also to hide it from humanity, before he had the ability to send the coordinates of the Three-Body and Earth into the universe.

And he couldn't be discovered by humanity either.

He was now Earth's biggest villain, the leader of the ETO organization.

The fate of Ellis was not a good one.

He was directly shredded into pieces by the Guzheng Plan.

That was under the premise that Earth wanted to obtain Three-Body data; if humanity was truly provoked, the odds were that they'd flip the table and invite Logic to a taste of Big Ivan, to dine with Miss Qiu.

"I still need to think of a solution~~"

"The exposure of the ETO organization isn't far off now~~"

Logic shook the pen in his hand and pointed his finger into the distance, silently muttering, Energy Manifestation.

"Mark III!"

A faint white light shone forth, and a brand-new silver Mark III Armor materialized.

"Sophon!"

The Armor's appearance kept changing, flowing like water, taking on a human-like form.

Just like the Sophon he had seen before, it had taken on a human appearance.

"Jarvis!"

The next moment, the previously hollow eyes lit up, the body shook, and it bowed to Logic, that familiar and gentle voice sounding out.

"Sir, please give me a new name."

"Hmm… let's call you… 108!"
