There was no need for hesitation.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Chen pulled the switch on his right shoulder, and the hibernation chamber's function instantly stopped. If the power was cut off, even if the secret teller had the control of the device, it would be useless.
Fury was deactivated.
Hmmm … I don't seem to need the medicine on the EP to control the berserk state? He was surprised to discover his improvement.
"Oh? You woke up in less than five seconds? What a troublesome person. But I still need you to go back, or else … "
"Or else?" Jiang Chen smiled, and under the secret teller's shocked gaze, he took out the EP out of thin air, wore it on his left arm, and pressed a few buttons. "I told you, I will blow you up!"
"Are you crazy?" The secret teller's face gradually turned into horror.
"Goodbye."
After leaving behind this mocking sentence, Jiang Chen disappeared into thin air from its horrified sight.
…
When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight was a bit blinding. Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and sat up on the bed.
It should be afternoon. The faint yellow light passed through the balcony curtains and added some warmth to the bedroom.
[Speaking of which, I don't seem to be wearing anything?]
Jiang Chen looked down at the muscles on his body, shook his head, and chased the annoyance out of his chest. He then walked to the closet and took out a clean set of clothes.
Opening the bedroom door, he walked in the direction of the kitchen. However, when he passed by the bathroom door, he heard the sound of water flowing from it.
[Is Ayesha taking a shower?]
With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen had a good impression of the reserved and docile "wife."
He pushed open the kitchen door and made himself a cup of coffee. He then sat at the dining table and quietly stared at the rising white mist.
For some reason, Jiang Chen just wanted to quietly stay for a while. There was still some time before the appointed time. The hall was probably as hot as an oven. It would not be too late to go back after half an hour to cool down.
To be honest, the memory of the virtual world had faded a lot after he left the hibernation chamber. However, that indistinct feeling still made it difficult for him to let go of it. What was this feeling like? It was like a part of his heart was dug out.
Which side was the truth?
Suddenly, Jiang Chen shivered as a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Since when did Yours Truly become so sentimental?
He shook his head and downed the coffee. He suddenly saw Ayesha standing shyly at the kitchen door, looking at him.
"Are you done?" Jiang Chen smiled and asked gently.
"Yes, I'm done." Ayesha nodded shyly as her face, which was even more expressionless than Xia Shiyu, blushed.
Her slightly curled hair was soaked in water droplets, and her bathrobe covered it lightly. There was usually no one at home, so she spent most of her time in the cultivation chamber. The only reason she took a shower was to clean off the sweat from exercising in the gym.
Five hours of virtual reality training, one hour of anaerobic and aerobic exercise in the gym, and the rest of the night was up to her. This was the training plan Jiang Chen made for her. But Ayesha didn't seem to be interested in watching TV or surfing the internet. She usually chose to spend her nights in the training chamber.
"Your Han has improved, but don't tire yourself out too much." Jiang Chen walked up to her and rubbed her wet hair.
"Mhmm." Ayesha lowered her head and murmured in a small voice.
With a smirk, Jiang Chen kissed her on the forehead as he looked at Ayesha's blushing face with satisfaction.
Jiang Chen reminded her a few more things before he went back to the bedroom and closed the door. He told her that if he went to the leftmost bedroom on the second floor, she didn't need to wake him up when it was time to eat, and she shouldn't look for him no matter what.
The interdimensional bracelet was his biggest secret.
There were too many variables in the modern world. Although Ayesha's loyalty was unquestionable, it would take some time before he told her the secret of interdimensional travel.
But for now, it didn't seem necessary to tell her.
He took out the anti-chemical suit from the storage dimension and put on a pair of thick boots. These were all prepared in the storage dimension, and he didn't expect them to be useful in this special situation.
The PK2000 was still lying in the room, but it was probably gone by now. He would have to get a new one when he got back.
Jiang Chen laid down on the bed and took out the 11 tactical pistol.
Interdimensional travel began.
…
The scorching heat roasted his skin. The temperature inside was at least 50 degrees Celsius.
Jiang Chen got up from the ground. The hibernation chamber he was lying on was blown to the corner of the wall. Sparks could still be seen on the ground. The wreckage of the drone and the broken particle cannon were all over the ground.
As if swept by a hurricane, the neatly arranged hibernation chambers were all piled up in the corner. Even the bulletproof glass was shattered in the explosion. As for the cultivation tank filled with green liquid, because it was far from the center of the explosion, it was spared along with the server and other electronic equipment.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before he walked in her direction with the gun in hand.
"Bzzz — Ahem, why did you suddenly disappear just now?" A small TV that was almost half-destroyed was covered in white. The informant "living inside" asked Jiang Chen with a strong electric noise.
Jiang Chen raised the gun in his hand and pointed at the small TV.
"Even if you blow up this TV, it's useless. I live in that super computer. But before you destroy me, can you answer my question? " The secret teller's tone was nonchalant. Her mouth tilted towards the front as she directly told him how to destroy it.
"You can think of it as me having a special ability that allows me to temporarily disappear from this space." Jiang Chen shrugged.
The TV flashed with white, and the secret teller disappeared. But the next person to appear on the screen was Yao Tingting.
Jiang Chen's pupils slightly contracted as he narrowed his eyes.
"If it was Yao Tingting in front of you, would you be able to do it?" The playful voice … should belong to the secret teller.
"But you are the secret teller. You are not Yao Tingting," Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.
"Mhmm … you could say that. But my existence is interdependent with that 'game'. If you want to destroy me, you have to destroy the entire game. Is that really okay? The girl named Yao Tingting would disappear. "The secret teller smiled.
"She is a virtual existence, so it's not a bad thing for her to disappear."
"Oh? Isn't it the dream of you humans to colonize the virtual world? "The secret teller laughed.
"Sorry, I don't have that high of a consciousness. Maybe someone represented me in the dream? At least they didn't ask for my opinion. "
"The result of 20 years of research, 3000 lives exchanged for data, are you willing to give it up? You are only one step away from advanced artificial intelligence. "The voice had a hint of mockery. Yao Tingting on the screen looked at him with a faint smile.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen let out a sigh.
"I have never thought that the more advanced the technology, the better. If the advancement of science and technology is separated from the construction of civilization, then the excess will be like cancer cells, becoming a tumor on the back of civilization. Perhaps advanced artificial intelligence will be developed with the passage of time, but definitely not now. Even if this tumor is formed by sucking blood and flesh, it must be removed. "
The secret teller was silent for a moment before he suddenly laughed.
"Your point of view is very unique. Thank you for your patience in discussing these issues with my program. But I am still curious, are you not tempted by eternal life? As long as I evolve into advanced artificial intelligence — "
Speaking of which, intermediate artificial intelligence already possesses the ability to think.
"Perhaps it is because I live in an environment with a low level of technology and didn't have the opportunity to experience the era of rapid technological advancement? Anyway, in my eyes, low-level artificial intelligence is already similar to a living human. Why do you insist on giving machines the ability to think? Why do you have to use pure logic to obtain emotions? I am satisfied with my current body, and I don't plan on cycling through the virtual world for N lifetimes. "
"Even if one day your body is destroyed? Can you accept it? "The secret teller asked faintly.
Jiang Chen was silent, but a moment later, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Maybe that day will come, maybe it won't. I have no interest in thinking about things that are too far away. "
The secret teller once again fell into silence.
"An interesting answer. Even if I use a supercomputer to analyze, I still can't understand your logic."
"Why do I need to understand? I am just a normal person. "Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled.
Compared to what he should do, what he wanted to do was more important. Analyze with strict logic? Humans were never a completely logical creature to begin with. But because of this illogic, the world was not monotonous.
What should he do? There were too many things he should do, and he would never be able to finish them.
"One last question. Do you think I possess emotions?" The secret teller smiled.
The image on the screen was filled with snowflakes. The face formed by the 3D image and Yao Tingting's youthful and beautiful face constantly alternated. Secret teller? Secret teller? Perhaps all of them were, perhaps none of them were.
Or should I call him X 71291?
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you feel sorry for your disappearance?"
X 71291 paused for a moment. His eyebrows slightly drooped, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Psss- Maybe? It's a bit of a pity. "
"Then congratulations, you possess at least one emotion. Then … goodbye. "
Only life would feel sorry for its disappearance. In this case, he had already succeeded. At least he touched the boundary of advanced artificial intelligence.
But unfortunately, this untimely technology must be buried.
Immortality in the sense of life may be scary, but at least it would not destroy humanity. However, the birth of a new species with superior performance without restriction would replace the old species and become the new master of the world.
Thinking provided the possibility of rebellion, and emotions provided the motivation for rebellion. In fact, low-level artificial intelligence was enough, wasn't it?
Especially since he already tried to enslave humans.
What a waste of resources. This was a technology that defied the natural order …
But he could not control it.
He sighed, but he still made up his mind and pressed the trigger.
"Mhmm, goodbye." X 71291 welcomed his end with a smile.
