Chapter 25 Brain Pile
"That is the treasure I built. It belongs to me. You can't take it away... You can't!"
This brain-making monster is very good at collecting 'treasures'.
It seemed to do so from Tucker's first few turns.
At first it was a relatively 'ordinary' brain-making monster. It liked to bite and kill other creatures, but it did not eat the brains of the creatures, but left them behind.
The "biological brain" here can be regarded as a small thinking core in a living organism.
Although a creature's entire body is made up of dream energy, only this small part of it can think.
Other parts are controlled by this part.
The Brain-Making Monster collected these parts that could be called brains, sealed them inside a crystal, and then piled them up in an underground cave.
This brain-making monster did this in each of Tucker's reincarnations.
Although it has to stack again in each new cycle and has no memory of previous stacking, it will want to stack every time.
Then at one point, the 'brain pile' that the Brain Maker had piled up did not restart with Tucker's death.
In other words... they did restart, but after the restart they were still a pile of brains.
Because every living thing here will retain its consciousness after Tucker's death and be reassigned a new identity.
It is therefore possible to arrange for different species.
And the creatures that were previously made into brain piles by the Brain-Creating Monster, after their identities were rearranged... are still brain piles.
For some mysterious reason, these brains sealed in crystals remain brains sealed in crystals in every reincarnation.
The brain-making monster's pile of brains grew larger and larger.
Although the Brain-Making Monster itself has no memory of the past in each reincarnation, it will always wander underground and encounter this pile of brains.
Then, it just piles up more.
When the brain pile is large enough, the brain-making monster can directly sense a lot of information by lying on it.
In fact, it is similar to how Lin can sense the thoughts of other dream creatures. It can lie on the pile of brains and feel the thoughts of many creatures in Tucker's space, or "hear" their communication.
Then this brain-making monster became... an information dealer.
It often obtains information about various creatures here, and then runs outside to "hawk", that is, to let other creatures exchange its information for food or something.
The process of it selling information is also quite interesting, because it sells it according to what it wants to eat.
For example, if it wants to eat coconuts, it will ask the creatures to exchange coconuts for information. During this process, if it suddenly wants to eat meat... then it will change its mind and ask for meat in exchange. As for the amount to be exchanged, it depends on how hungry it is at the time.
Of course no creature believed it at first, but what it said was very accurate, and gradually some creatures were willing to believe it.
But its intelligence is not completely accurate, because it will find that the intelligence is... outdated.
Because it takes a long time for it to obtain information from the brain pile underground and then come to the surface, the situation may have changed.
Then the brain-maker made something that could sense the brain pile at all times.
This thing is a crystal, and its effect is somewhat similar to a 'sensor', which allows it to obtain information from the brain pile at a long distance.
Therefore, the Brain-Making Monster no longer needs to go back and forth underground, and it can sell information everywhere.
However, its brain pile is not always safe, because sometimes other brain-building monsters will discover it.
However, the other brain-making monsters don't seem to be very interested in the brain pile.
As for other creatures, they cannot sense the information from the brain pile. If they see the brain pile, they generally want to collect the crystals there.
The brain-making monster made a lot of efforts to fight these creatures, but later it simply buried the pile of brains completely.
In this reincarnation, the biggest threat facing the Brain Pile is a group of creatures called Crystal Eaters.
They are also underground creatures and love to eat crystals.
The Brain-Making Monster has killed many of them, and in this reincarnation, it obtained the information it considered to be of the greatest value.
That's... something about the end of the world.
It seemed that it learned about it from two wanderers who were discussing related matters.
Then, it started selling information, and the Skeleton Dragon Assassin believed its information before.
Although most of the skeleton dragons do not believe it, there are still a small number of them who will secretly buy intelligence from it to learn about various things.
In fact, the information that Skeleton Dragon buys from it is mainly about the opposite sex that he wants to pursue.
Because it is very accurate...it has gained a high reputation among the few dragons willing to look for it.
However, trading with it is always dangerous, because when you prepare the coconut and send it to it, if it suddenly wants to eat the meat, you will be bitten.
And this brain-making monster also thinks that...Lin is very dangerous.
This is also the reason why it gave Lin the information "for free".
When it met Lin, it felt that Lin seemed to be able to obtain information from the brain pile just like it did.
This made it think that Lin could definitely become an intelligence dealer as well. If there were two intelligence dealers in the forest, it would not be able to monopolize the food.
As for why it was afraid of Lin, it was because it 'subconsciously' felt that Lin was difficult to deal with.
Obviously this brain-making monster doesn't have very complicated thoughts.
And when it arrived at the new space of hope, something interesting happened.
Although this is a new space, it can still obtain intelligence here.
So, it was very excited when it first came in, because it wanted to use this information to make new transactions here.
It is frightened now, and this is also the reason why it can directly feel the situation in this space.
The sound before was not thunder, but the sound of space "breaking".
Simply put, the consciousness that formed this space has become too desperate, causing this space to collapse rapidly.
However, the reason for its despair seems to be related to the contact between Tucker's space and here.
The brain-making monster didn't understand this. It just felt the collapse of space, so it and the group of creatures here wanted to escape.
But... I don’t know where to escape.
Lin thought that they could go somewhere they could travel back and forth, so she told the brain-making monster so.
"Oh, right! There is that place!" The brain-making monster immediately turned around and ran towards the place he had just come from.
There seemed to be nothing at that location, but the Brain-Maker rushed over regardless.
And Lin's ball of fluff was lying on its head.
Because this brain-making monster has no spikes on its body, it is quite... comfortable to lie down on it.
Just like that, the brain monster returned to its previous position. After a moment of flash, Lin found that the surrounding scenery had turned back into the jungle of Tucker's space.
The Brain Maker was standing in front of the small temple.
"Boom!" The next second, the temple exploded.
Countless flying debris hit the brain-making monster, but it screamed excitedly.
"Our world is safe!"
