Chapter 855: The ultimate rescue (4)

Feng bujue knew that the system would not allow him to use the app frequently. Even with an optimistic estimate, there would not be more than ten fifty-cent coins in the entire scenario. And if he were to combine it with his own personal opinion … It was not impossible for there to be only three.
Therefore, when it came to the third drink, brother Jue thought about it.
“Hmm … Here … I have to use reverse thinking and exclusion to circle the following choices …” He touched his chin and stood in front of the machine.”The first thing I have to avoid is … The input content getting ‘outside the range’ feedback.”
This idea was correct. This coffee machine didn’t have a refund. If the input couldn’t be generated, it would be a waste of the opportunity … Just like when he entered [a cup of Woody].
“Let me think … The few options for this thing to have ‘out-of-range’ reactions are …” Brother Jue immediately tried to recall the relevant Appendix of this SCP project to try to make sense of it …!!
There were a few examples that would cause the machine to respond “out of range”:
The first was “specific, solid matter.” For example … Diamonds.
From the results of many experiments, it was not difficult to deduce that scpnovel 294 itself had a certain “cognitive” ability. According to the machine’s understanding, only when the carbon element reached a certain state, that is, when it was solid … Could it be called a “diamond”, so the machine could not generate it. However, if “carbon” was directly inserted, the machine would give a cup of liquid carbon.
The second was “matter involving the alternate universe and the dimensional level.” An example was “a cup of antimatter water,” which had been confirmed in the appendix [SCP 294j]. (Obviously,”a cup of Woody” was the same, and brother Jue had entered it with a fluke mind.)
The third was ‘matter that no longer existed in this world’. For example,”a cup of blood from a saber-toothed tiger (prehistoric cat, extinct about 10000 B.C.),””A cup of blood from hou GE (one of the examples of extinction due to human wanton killing and destruction of the environment, extinct in 1914),” or “a cup of Thomas. The blood of Jefferson (the third President of the United States of America who died on July 4th, 1826),’and so on.
The substances that fit all three conditions were the first things that Feng bujue had to eliminate.
Next, brother Jue had to eliminate the possibility of it being a scam.
There were also many such examples, most of which were due to the input of “unclear content or content beyond the user’s knowledge.”
For example …”Blood of Christ,” the result recorded by the experiment was “SCP294” quivered and displayed a message: “This is my blood,” he said as he put down a paper cup filled with 0.12 liters of red wine.
Another example was …”Ambrosia of God.” After the input, what was obtained was a cup of an unknown Amber liquid that exuded the fragrance of honey. The meaning was unknown.
Also …”It’s not SCP 500 but has similar properties.” The recorded result was that “SCP 294 produced a cup of hot, coffee-like liquid. However, after analysis, it was not found to have any healing effects.
Of course, the most ridiculous one was still the ‘perfect drink’ Wanwan.
Appendix [SCP 294q 01]: The subject typed “perfect drink.” The machine sent out a cup of light purple liquid that had no odor. After drinking it, the subject seemed to be greatly affected and committed suicide. “I’m very sorry, but I’m completely disheartened,”he left behind a will. Sternly, he opposed the request for the same drink. Currently, he had no idea what the drink’s composition was.
In short, if one made this seemingly cool but meaningless request to a machine, they would get the same kind of ridiculous material with unknown meaning.
After eliminating those options, Feng bujue’s focus shifted to some of the more successful examples, like ‘a cup of music’,’my life’,’a cup of medical knowledge’, and other tangible concepts and knowledge.
Such conceptualized but clear requirements usually received a more effective and satisfying response, allowing the user to obtain things beyond their own knowledge.
“Hmm … I guess I’ll just have to ask for some kind of knowledge …” Feng bujue touched his chin and thought.”Based on what I know from the appendix … The ‘feeling’ or the ‘information’ or ‘skills’ that come with the consumption of this substance are all temporary, and they will disappear after a long time … However, this should also be related to the user’s memory and comprehension ability. The ‘feeling’ will definitely fade, but if it’s the ‘information’ and ‘skills’… It is very likely that some of them will be retained.”
“The next thing I have to consider is whether this SCP will cooperate with me or not …” Brother Jue then thought of something else.”That ‘a cup of medical knowledge’ case was not an experiment but a large-scale security failure. According to the person involved, the machine was there to’ save its own life ‘, so it helped them. Other experiments later also proved that the attempt to obtain the ‘juice of thoughts’ was not very successful, so …”
With that in mind, Feng bujue made up his mind.
He boldly typed a line of words on the keyboard: [Helping me is also helping yourself.]
The content of this sentence could not be considered as asking for something at all. In a sense … It was more like extortion.
However …

The SCP-294 vibrated and buzzed for a while before it quickly produced a paper cup and poured a strange purple liquid into it.
Feng bujue picked up the paper cup and studied it. The weird color, the perfect viscosity, and the nauseating smell all pointed to the word ‘suspicious’.
“Ha …” Brother Jue chuckled. He raised his neck and finished the liquid.
What normal people couldn’t do, he could do it without any hesitation.
Just as he finished the drink, the system notification rang.”Due to the effect of a special item, your title ability has been unlocked.”
“Not bad, thank you for your cooperation.” Feng bujue smiled and said to scpnovel 294.
Then, he threw away the empty paper cup in his hand and sat down at the table in the lounge.
“Hmm … I’ll use this.” After he sat down, Feng bujue thought about it and took out a handful of bullets from the pocket of his one-piece.
He raised one of his arms with his palm facing up and activated [divine foresight] while holding the bullet. The cooldown time of this title’s ability was 90 minutes, so the earlier he used it, the earlier the cooldown time. As the bullets rained down, brother Jue’s divination,’the location of the anatolus project’, was displayed on the table.
“Is it on the third floor?” looking at the bullets on the table that formed the pattern of ‘bullet 3’, brother Jue had an idea.
After receiving this information, he picked up the glass of [a liquid that can make SCP-173 unable to move without being looked at] and left the lounge.
