Li Yao was having a secret conversation with A Boxing Champion far away from the crowd.
Li Yao was rather conflicted about A Boxing Champion's' self-learning artificial intelligence '.
Li Yao had thought that, after experiencing the 'chaos of the extraterrestrial devils' of the Xing Yao Federation and the great event where artificial intelligence almost went out of control and completely invaded the Spiritual Nexus, he would be highly wary of and loathe 'virtual life' and 'artificial intelligence'.
But for some reason, when he was faced with A Boxing Champion's' self-learning artificial intelligence ', he did not feel that way at all. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of … intimacy?
Perhaps it was because he had learned the deeper secrets about artificial intelligence and virtual life in the collapsed virtual world 'Virtual Spirits Sector'. The phrase 'virtual virus of the high-dimensional universe' was still echoing in his ears.
Or maybe, the ugliness and evilness of certain human beings were enough for him to hate. Also, there were too many enemies in the vast sea of stars. The Pangu, the extraterrestrial devils, the alien species … All of them had the potential to destroy the civilization of mankind.
He really did not have the strength to hate an artificial intelligence that had not shown any signs of 'life' yet.
In any case, A Boxing Champion had fulfilled his promise to him dutifully and helped him protect Han Te and the Coloured Glaze.
Li Yao did not want to violate his promise, even though he was faced with a cold machine.
"Take this!"
Li Yao threw a Cosmos Ring over and transmitted an activation pattern to A Boxing Champion's crystal processor.
A Boxing Champion grabbed the ring and observed it for a moment, before he asked, "What's this?"
"Didn't we make a promise that, as long as you help me protect the two little fellows, I will spare no effort to help you grow stronger?"
Li Yao smiled. "You've done a great job so far. In such a difficult and dangerous environment, the two little fellows are completely unharmed. But it's a bit of a headache for me. We are still besieged and running like rats. It is impossible for me to find a stable workshop and resources to help you upgrade.
"So, I'll give you some good stuff first. Consider it an interest.
"These are the storage chips that I stole from the mainframe crystal processor of the laboratory and the control room in Manjusaka. They should contain all the data of the cutting-edge magical equipment experiments in the laboratory on the Land of Sins in the past hundreds of years. I believe that the test data of the cutting-edge magical equipment will certainly be of great use to you."
The Fist King's crystal cameras were brighter than before. His tone was as cold as before, but he was talking faster than before. "Yes. I am a piece of special cutting-edge magical equipment myself. If the test data of all the cutting-edge magical equipment in the past hundreds of years is stored here and can be melted into my main database, I will certainly have more changes, and my combat ability will be a hundred times higher!"
Pausing for a moment, he adjusted the brightness of the crystal cameras and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Li Yao smiled. "You know how to say 'thank you', too?"
"Not really," A Boxing Champion said.
"Both the real me and the identity of 'A Boxing Champion Lei Zonglie' do not really need to say 'thank you'. However, I'm learning it right now."
Looking at his weird appearance that had two heads right now, Li Yao did not know if his decision was right or wrong. Pondering for a long time, he asked, "Is our deal … still valid?"
"What do you mean?" A Boxing Champion asked.
"You have to escape from the Land of Sins, but the universe is a vast place full of dangers. The world outside may be even more dangerous than this place. I'm still worried about the two little fellows and the resistance warriors of Starlight. They are too weak."
Li Yao said solemnly, "But you are different. Now that you have the mainframe crystal processor of the control center of the global sword network and the research data of the cutting-edge magical equipment from the laboratories in the Land of Sins, it won't take long before your combat ability soars and steps into the ranks of the real super experts, right?
"If you can continue to protect the two little fellows and the tiny team of Cultivators, I believe that their odds of survival will be higher."
"What about you?" A Boxing Champion asked. "You are obviously ten times stronger than me."
Li Yao shook his head and said, "I can't stay with you for now. On one hand, I have to distract Li Lingfeng and the rest of the Immortal Cultivators so that you can break out of the siege. On the other hand, I have a greater secret that I need to explore, one that perhaps concerns the great secrets at the center of the Imperium."
What Li Yao was talking about was naturally the unresolvable and messy relationship between Li Jialing, Li Lingfeng, and Li Lingfeng.
If the issue was completely analyzed, chances were that he would be able to reach out to Li Linghai through Li Jialing and raise trouble in the heart of the Imperium. Wouldn't it be easier for him to achieve his purpose of "diplomacy, balance, and sabotage"?
Therefore, Li Yao had to go to Li Jialing and could not break out of the siege with Han Te and the Coloured Glaze.
A Boxing Champion was the best bodyguard for the tiny team of Cultivators.
A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras flashed for a moment before he said coldly, "But I only want to be stronger."
"You've become even stronger than before!"
Li Yao smiled. Looking at the storage chip in A Boxing Champion's hands, he said, "Trust me. If you continue walking on this path, you will certainly be stronger and stronger. You may even become the strongest in the entire universe one day. Isn't the fall of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' the best proof?"
A Boxing Champion was deep in thought.
Despite the calculations of the two cores of the crystal processors with super performance, his metal body was still shivering violently.
"You are truly strong."
A Boxing Champion said, "However I calculated, I couldn't figure out the slightest possibility of shooting down 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'."
"It was not my own contribution."
Li Yao said, "I was only in the right place at the right time and did the right thing. Or rather, it was because everybody in the sky and on the ground were united and fought bloody battles that such a result was achieved.
"Without the arrival of Starlight and your intelligence and cover, I might not have been able to bring down the space fortress even if I were ten times stronger."
A Boxing Champion asked again, "Was what you were using just now a Colossus, the legendary ultimate weapon in the universe?"
"Exactly."
Li Yao said, "If you are still willing to make a deal with me and continue to protect the two little fellows and the tiny team of Cultivators in the years to come, maybe I can get you some components and units of the Colossus and strengthen you comprehensively. I can even modify you into a Colossus."
Li Yao was not bragging.
He had found so many Colossi deep inside the Nuwa warship of the Ancient Sages Sector. With the wealth and power of the 'Glorious Sunlight Group' under his name, even if he could not get an intact Colossus, it was still possible for him to purchase the debris of some Colossi at a high price.
As a matter of fact, the Glorious Sunlight Group was one of the most cutting-edge magical equipment development platforms of the Xing Yao Federation in the first place. Right now, it had the components and units of countless Colossi that were being studied and copied.
Besides, Li Yao believed that he would have fierce battles with more Colossi of the Imperium in the future. It would not be strange at all if he captured one or two Colossi.
If A Boxing Champion was truly willing to join the Cultivators' side and become 'our' artificial intelligence, Li Yao felt that it would be a very worthwhile deal to upgrade A Boxing Champion with the components of a few Colossi.
As he expected, A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras were glittering and scorching again.
He touched the plate armor on his chest softly.
There was no heart inside, only the seeds of the Gold Barley that Coloured Glaze had given him.
"Alright. You have offered a very high price. According to my calculation and deduction, the deal will have a very positive effect on improving my combat ability."
A Boxing Champion said, but he seemed to be explaining his logic. "Until the Imperium or other forces can offer a higher price, I will always protect Han Te and Coloured Glaze."
Li Yao smiled. "Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. Gratitude is meaningless for me. All you need to do is to remember your promise like what you did today."
A Boxing Champion confirmed with himself again. "You know my real face. You don't need to treat me as a human being. I am just a piece of sophisticated magical equipment, a cold puppet, and … a fully wound machine."
…
Gao Dakang and his crew had arrived.
They had completed the comprehensive maintenance of 'Great Mountain'.
Fortunately, the ancient mining starship with a history of hundreds of years had been designed for mining in the perilous stone belts and asteroid belts. The problems of cosmic storms and asteroid collisions had been specifically taken into consideration. Therefore, the shell and the internal structure of the starship had been refined to an extremely tough, clumsy, and clumsy level. The starship was able to persist in flight even when 50% of the damage had been damaged. It had a very high survival ability.
As long as the shell was repaired and the temporary patches were applied, and enough fuel was injected, the mining starship would be able to soar into the sky and get rid of the gravity of the planet. It could even perform space jumps in the four-dimensional space. Of course, there were still considerable risks involved.
After the 'fellow Cultivators' of the underground branch of Starlight introduced the ship, and after seeing the enormous crater left by 'Great Mountain' after it was pulled out of the ground, Gao Dakang and the rest of them finally realized how they had been rescued.
The picture where Li Yao dominated the sea of stars unstoppably in the Crystal Suit and even a Colossus was witnessed by them in person. Many people's hearts were almost exploding because of Li Yao's glamorous performance.
They could not have been more astounded by the marvelous technique of 'remote manipulation' to pull such an enormous armed mining starship out of the ground.
