Guding bent down and picked up the watch, "Is this the smart watch that pirates use?"
Ordinary civilian smart watches, in fact, every Federation member would have one, only equipped with simple functions like communication and internet access. Guding was no exception; he already had a smart watch on his left wrist, which was a complimentary gift when Dad registered his adoption at the Federation Government's population management department after finding him.
However, ordinary civilian smart watches were different from military watches and those used by interstellar pirates. Military watches could connect to the military network, record military merits, and purchase military supplies. Pirate watches also had similar functions, allowing access to pirate black market networks to buy items and information.
However, all smart watches had the same protection function; once separated from the host without the host's consent, all information would be automatically erased, irreversibly formatted, and power cut off. To use a watch that lost its owner again, one had to return it to the Federation Government for re-registration and activation. The watch would not record any information about the previous owner.
Even though he knew it could not be used, Guding still put the watch on his right wrist with a try-and-see attitude.
"Beep, detecting host."
The sudden voice startled Guding. Logically, if the owner of a smart watch died and wasn't re-registered and activated, there should be no reaction when he wore it.

After a series of tests were completed, Guding only felt a pain from his wrist. He knew it was the smart watch drawing blood to recognize him as its owner.
As soon as the recognition was completed, a sudden voice came to Guding's ear. The voice sounded like a little boy. "This woman is just feigning death, if you stay here after 1 minute and 32 seconds, there's a 97.65% probability of being killed on the spot by her, a 2.11% probability of being captured alive, a 0.24% probability of sustaining severe injuries leading to permanent disability, and a 0% probability of successfully escaping."
"Who?" Guding asked, but his feet moved swiftly, leaving the scene. He had already witnessed that mad woman's ferocity, something his current self couldn't handle.
"I am the 'smart watch' you're wearing on your right hand, and by the way, the baby product you have on your left hand can retire now. There is a trash can 76 meters ahead if you turn right. Just throw it in. I've already cleaned up all your information." As soon as the voice fell, the civilian smart watch Guding had been wearing on his left hand for over fifteen years automatically fell off.
Guding caught it casually and threw the watch into the trash can, muttering to himself in surprise, "A smart watch used by interstellar pirates is actually this intelligent..."
"First of all, I want to thank you for your praise. My intelligence can't be matched by any living or non-living entity in your universe. Second, I need to correct you on two errors, that interstellar pirate is not my master. Moreover, I'm not a smart watch; I've just disguised my appearance as a smart watch. In fact, I'm a super-intelligent life form, a life form similar to your Heavenly Net." While the little boy's voice was heard again, the watch on Guding's right wrist suddenly transformed into metallic liquid, wrapped around his left hand, and then reshaped, becoming identical to the civilian smart watch Guding had before.
The occurrence of this scene gave Guding a new understanding of the item on his wrist because although one could spend a lot on a smart watch to purchase AI services, smart watches could never change shape, let alone move autonomously. But if it's a life form similar to Heavenly Net, then it all makes sense.
Regarding Heavenly Net, although Guding didn't know much, he knew that the entire Cosmic Federation Government's operations were assisted by it. The operations of all smart watches, smart rings, and other products were all controlled by Heavenly Net. Even the underground network of interstellar pirates was just a special area within Heavenly Net. In this era, one could say Heavenly Net was ubiquitous and omnipotent.
"So, what functions do you have?" Guding maintained a certain level of skepticism about the self-praise of the other party; after all, Heavenly Net's power was well-known, and if the watch in his hand was really as super-intelligent as Heavenly Net, then its abilities would be unimaginably powerful.
"Currently, I am in the initial opening stage; to put it in human terms, I'm still in the infancy period, very young. Many functions are restricted, and a large number of permissions in the database are inaccessible."
"Due to insufficient permissions, apart from the basic functions of a brain-computer, my extra functionalities currently consist of two main features: the first feature is called Universal Key, which can unlock anything sealed within the universe, including all Federation Government prison doors, military databases, network permissions, genetic locks, various energy sealings, and even prohibitions of ancient civilization sites. However, this function currently has only basic authority and can only unlock network-related things."
"The second feature is more practical for you at the moment; it is an information database, containing a vast amount of various data inherited from ancient civilizations. Of course, it currently only has basic authority, but it should be sufficient for you to use."
"Does it have tutorials for pharmacists?" Guding couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, these materials are well-preserved and can at least cultivate you into a Genetic Potion Master."
"Genetic Potion Master!" Guding's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
You must know that even in this star-level age of maritime exploration, genetic potions are extremely valuable items. Even a potion of the lowest F-rank can sell for thousands of Star Coins, which, converted to Sea Blue Star's currency, would be millions. Enough for an ordinary family to live worry-free for a lifetime. Currently, Guding's monthly salary was only 5 Star Coins.
"It seems I need to find some time to study hard. Even being an ordinary pharmacist is a profitable profession, not to mention a Genetic Potion Master, and it doesn't conflict with becoming an interstellar pirate," Guding muttered quietly for a while, then suddenly frowned, "Can you access the military or underground black market network?"
Although most materials for genetic potions can be bought, some special materials can only be obtained by the military or interstellar pirates, and civilian watches cannot connect to the military and black market networks. So, Guding raised this question.
"The smart watch on that woman's hand, who just faked death, has been invaded by me, allowing me to successfully enter the black market network. Moreover, I obtained some unexpected gains, which I can give you as a welcome gift."
"Gift? What is it?" Guding immediately showed keen interest.
"That woman's storage space and all the items within it." The super intelligence spoke with a hint of smugness in its tone.
The so-called storage space is actually a space storage technology developed by Heavenly Net, allowing each watch to connect to a small space, with the watch being the key to opening that space. Once the watch owner's life signs can't be detected, it displays an abnormal deep-sleep state. Once the watch falls off, the storage space automatically collapses, with items inside being shredded into space turbulence. What the super-intelligent did was hijack Heavenly Net's probe during the watch's dormant period, taking over the watch of the woman faking death and transferring everything over.
Controlled by the super-intelligent entity, everything within the storage space was presented before Guding.
"What a massive volume!" Guding couldn't help but exclaim.
Ordinary civilian watches initially had only one cubic meter of storage space. To enlarge the space, additional purchases were needed, and expanding storage space required spending a lot of money. Yet the storage space in front of Guding had nearly twenty cubic meters. These twenty cubic meters were already mostly occupied by various items, leaving an estimated capacity of just three or four cubic meters.
"I've merged your original one cubic meter into it, and the items have been put together. Do you need to clear out the useless items?" The super intelligence referred to a variety of colorful women's neiyi and other items.
In just a moment, those useless items were thrown into the space turbulence, efficiently cleaned out.
"Do you have a name?" Guding couldn't help but ask, after all, the other party claimed to be super-intelligent, and Guding guessed it might have a label just like Heavenly Net.
Silenced for a moment by the question, the super intelligence responded, "I searched through existing data; according to the data, I have not been used before and have not been given a name. As my first owner, you can give me one."
"In that case, my dream is to one day become a great interstellar pirate, sailing through the Cosmic Sea with my companions, so let's call you Sea Emperor." Guding pondered for a moment and proposed.
