[MTL, BL] It Is Said That I Captured the Great Demon King [Holographic]

31

Xiao Zhi came out of the Bone Palace with his beard and tail intact, and received a warm celebration from Lance.

Now that the lord's consent has been obtained, the planning of the trade area and transportation can be implemented. In the following time, Xiao Zhi will be working on these two things.

He first invited the lich who proposed the transportation plan to meet at the Government Affairs Office.

This is a lich named Milton. He looks like a young man with long black hair and a pale face, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes of life, as if he has experienced hundreds of years of wandering and loneliness.

Milton also exudes an aura that does not belong to this era. He wears an ancient robe, uses very old etiquette, and speaks in a formal tone, like a nobleman living in the past.

that's the truth.

When Xiao Zhi asked, Milton introduced himself: "I was once a noble of the ancient Shalan Kingdom and a member of the House of Representatives. At that time, I was very high-spirited and engaged in politics with several friends, hoping to change Shalan. The corrupt political situation has turned it into the most powerful country on the continent.

"But before we could use our strength, Shalan was destroyed in the war. Everyone died, and I was the only one who survived."

"I was very unwilling and wanted to regain my country full of hatred, but my power alone was really insignificant, so I transformed myself into a lich. Then I went into exile incognito and tried to develop my strength to regain my homeland."

"It's a pity ." "This is just my personal delusion. Even if I become a lich, I am not strong enough to complete the task of restoring the country alone."

"Year after year, there is still no hope of rebuilding Shalan, or even destroying Shalan." Lan's dynasty has fallen over the years, and Shalan and Shalan have become dust in the history books. There are very few people who still remember them."

Milton sighed slightly, with a helpless smile on his face: "Later. , I was tired, and finally gave up my dream of establishing the Shalan Kingdom again, and came to Heisen to live in seclusion a hundred years ago. "

Although he said it lightly, Xiao Zhi knew very well that as an undead, it would be difficult to wander on the mainland. Not an easy task. As long as he shows the slightest trace, he will soon be surrounded and suppressed by the living people, even if he has done nothing.

What living people fear is death, and the undead are the representatives of death.

Milton is still recovering alone in such an environment. This is a lonely and dangerous road, which can almost be called a delusion. But he has been walking alone like this for hundreds of years. Even if he does not succeed in the end, he is still worthy of admiration.

Although he has lived in seclusion in Hesse, Milton probably still has not given up his ambition. Otherwise, there would not be that document on transportation planning, nor would there be this meeting today.

Xiao Zhi asked softly: "What does Mr. Milton think of Heisen?"

Milton thought for a moment: "Heisen is very strong and is the only and best destination for the undead. But with the discovery of the Yixi Mine, transportation has It has become much more convenient. Other countries on the mainland are developing rapidly, and many new technologies have emerged. Only Hessen has stagnated. "

"If at some time in the future, a country has mastered enough combat power to compensate for the fighting between humans and the undead. If there is a gap in technology, Hesse may be in crisis."

These words reminded Xiao Zhi of his own era. In history, there were a number of countries with weapons of the new era that used powerful ships and cannons to open up his motherland. Does it open the door and start a history of humiliation and pain?

Milton can predict that kind of future now. For Hesse, this is really a rare talent.

Xiao Zhi looked at Milton seriously and pushed the yellowed document in front of him: "I have read your plan. It is very good. Are you still willing to implement it now?"

Xiao Zhi knew very well. I am essentially a hacker, and I get a lot of flair when fighting, but when it comes to administrative management, this person is the professional and definitely senior enough.

Milton looked at this document that he submitted 78 years ago but has never received any news from. His eyes were a little stunned: "I thought this document had been thrown away."

He also thought that his opinions would not If anyone cares, he can only stay in the dense forest of Heisen until the day when even his soul is completely rotten. Even when he heard about recruiting clerks, he had no intention of going.

Of course Xiao Zhi couldn't say that the document was not thrown away, but that the lord was lazy and didn't want to read it. He said: "The lord is also looking forward to it."

Anyway, Asen said the word "look forward to", so it's not bad to use it.

Milton did not speak, but there were tears on his pale cheeks: "I never thought there would be such a day..."

Xiao Zhi handed him his document about the trade zone again: "This one, you You can also take a look."

Milton opened the document and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "Is this... your plan? This can be said to be almost perfect. Heisen's current needs!"

Xiao Zhi just smiled and said nothing, looking confident.

This is a document made by the collective efforts of the teachers, and it is also one of the assignments for their professional courses. They took advantage of the players' information to check a lot of information, which incorporated many pioneering achievements in human history, as well as the enthusiastic joining of the scholar Vedi, and the verbal encouragement of...the scumbag Einstein.

Among the three brothers, Xiao Zhi and Einstein were the ones to take care of Wei Di when they needed to do some work, but when it came time to analyze and process text-based work, it was Xiao Zhi and Wei Di who took care of Einstein.

Milton accepted the two documents and solemnly said to Xiao Zhi: "I promise that Heisen will become stronger and will not let my home face the crisis of being destroyed again."

Xiao Zhi looked like a model Nodding to him decently: "I wish you all the best."

·

After appointing Milton as the person in charge, Xiao Zhi did not just let it go.

Out of the psychological shadow of the undead, he would still go on patrol from time to time, fearing that the undead on the construction site would fight and return everything to zero.

Unexpectedly, Milton was really a very qualified person in charge. Not only did he not cut corners or line his own pockets, he even took advantage of the fact that he was dead and did not need to rest, so he was full of energy all day long.

Milton also has a way to deal with those warlike undead.

He gave them a speech before starting work. The general content was that we were fighting for the lord, and every shovel shouldered the glory of Hesse.

The lord is like a brick, it can be moved wherever it is needed.

For the undead of Hesse, fighting for their lord is a great honor. Although most of them may not understand Milton's sophisticated wording, the theme "for the lord" is enough. The undead are all in high spirits and are so excited all day that they can't even dig through the ground. Supervise each other and don't be lazy.

Depending on the situation, the estimated construction date may be much earlier.

Xiao Zhi, who watched the whole process, couldn't help but sigh: "What a talent..."

Seeing that the plan was on track, Xiao Zhi stopped guarding here.

During this time, Hesse's paperwork was almost done, and his level also rose to 200.

Because he had seen Asen using the memory tablet before, this made him a little worried, and he wanted to use the excuse of reporting on the progress to go over and have a look. But Lance told him that the lord had not been in Hesse recently, and he probably left.

Xiao Zhi asked him if he knew where the lord had gone?

Lance said that no one knew where the lord had gone. He often disappeared alone and then returned silently.

Unable to find Asen, and given another construction task, and no paperwork, Xiao Zhi's life as a secretary suddenly became idle.

·

On ​​this day, Xiao Zhi was offline because there was a cultural class scheduled for today.

Although their professional research direction is games, there will still be no shortage of relevant cultural courses, but sometimes Li Daye will choose to conduct them directly in the game.

Xiao Zhi followed the terminal's instructions and came to the classroom.

This is the microgravity classroom specially applied for by Li Daye. It is decorated in a 21st century classroom style. To people nowadays, this style is probably called nostalgia.

Xiao Zhi opened the door and entered. As soon as he entered, he saw Einstein floating in the sky. This is also the reason why Li Daye chose the microgravity classroom. He said that this way can keep everyone relaxed, and students cannot sneak snacks during class, otherwise they will fly everywhere.

Xiao Zhi looked at the other side and found that Wade was also floating, holding a copy of "History of Game Development in the 21st Century" in his hand. This was the textbook for this course, but what Xiao Zhi brought was an electronic version.

Looking at their appearance, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but drift up.

It felt so good to be in class, so relaxing that it reminded him a bit of the feeling of being an undead.

Not long after, Li Daye also came in. The old man is still in high spirits today, with an afro and a floral shirt, looking like he is on vacation.

He directed his AI assistant to project on the wall, simulating the effect of PPT courseware, and began to talk about today's content.

Li Daye floated head down in the air: "When it comes to games in the 21st century, ZERO is one that will never be ignored. In that era when 'holography' was only a concept in novels and film and television works, Noah Pei announced his own research and development "ZERO, a holographic game that looks just like the real thing,"

"And he once publicly said: 'You can think of ZERO as a real world, and every NPC in it may become your friend, enemy, or even more important person. . '"

"At that time, everyone thought that this genius was crazy. In the real world, he has created miracles in countless fields and is regarded as the greatest genius in human history. Isn't this too bad? Arrogant? Or is this just an old man's unwillingness to be lonely? "

But when ZERO was officially launched, everyone realized that they were wrong. This world was too real, and every NPC was. They are really like living people. Some of them are cheerful, some are gloomy, some are cunning, some are cruel and hypocritical... they cannot be regarded as mechanical NPCs at all."

"Even now, the intelligence of NPCs in ZERO . The degree is also higher than that of many AIs. You can imagine the shock around the world at that time. Not only was the gaming industry a sensation, but even technology companies researching artificial intelligence were in disbelief. They all hoped to cooperate with Ark Company and obtain technical support. "

But Noah Pei completely rejected these invitations and never disclosed any technical information related to ZERO. After his death, Ark was taken over by his nephew and has been operated until now.

" "I remember that one of our professional investors includes Ark Company, right? They also encouraged us to study more about ZERO."

Xiao Zhi was confused: "Why? Isn't ZERO their company's game?"

Wei Di floated on the ceiling: "It is said that it is Because ZERO's main brain operates independently, Noah Pei did not teach them how to control the main brain, so they cannot intervene in it. They can only develop peripherals, so there are so many game cabins with various functions on the market. "

Einstein: "An unscrupulous money trapper."

In Xiao Zhi's era, Noah Pei was still alive and a person who often made big news. He didn't know that such things would happen after the death of this genius. .

Einstein added: "There is also a rumor that ZERO is the last work of the genius Noah Pei. He hid a treasure in it, which can promote the process of human civilization and even change an era."

Xiao . Zhi felt a bit ridiculous: "This sounds too exaggerated."

Wade: "Indeed, but in the six hundred years since ZERO came out, although there are not many people who believe this rumor, it has never disappeared. After all, that's the case The work of a genius, no one knows if he really has some trump card that has never been revealed."

Einstein raised his chin at Wei Di: "Including this guy."

Wei Di shrugged. Shrugging: "I don't deny it."

Einstein floated near Xiao Zhi and said, "Ark Company once wanted to invest more in our profession and let teachers study ZERO according to their needs, but the teacher rejected it."

Xiao Zhi was curious. His eyes turned to Li Daye.

Li Daye rubbed his thick afro and said, "It's no fun to study this kind of thing if it's planned. I don't want to work for others, not in this life."

After an interlude, the course continued.

But not long after, the PPT behind Li Daye suddenly flashed and turned into a screenshot of his game.

In the picture, the Lich standing in front was tall and handsome with white hair. He was waving his staff in a graceful casting posture to meet the incoming big snake. Behind him were three students who were protected by him.

The three people present all knew the true situation at that time, and the scene was very embarrassing for a time.

Xiao Zhi said quietly: "Is this the frost technique that almost hit me?"

Einstein looked serious: "So, teacher, you were taking screenshots at the time..."

Wei Di: "No wonder the teacher's operations are always hard to describe. "

The first two can be tolerated, but the third one... Li Daye glared at Wei Di: "Aren't you the same level as me in serious operation?"

Wei Di, the last in the division, said: "... ..."

He couldn't help but float to the corner of the classroom, trying to hide himself. Why should he appear here? It shouldn't be. This world is so difficult...

Li Daye turned to look at his AI assistant, which was an old-fashioned The old square robot is currently projecting screenshots of his game.

Li Daye: "Xiao W, the courseware is in the wrong place."

The AI ​​assistant named Xiao W: "I am switching the courseware for you..."

Then everyone saw that the projection was replaced by another screenshot, this one was a muscular lion The head of the orc, carrying a majestic sword on his shoulder, Li Daye was hiding in the corner, taking pictures with him secretly and obscenely.

Xiao Zhi: "Is this the orc great swordsman Dore Strong?"

Einstein commented: "The teacher still likes macho men so much."

Little W: "The courseware switching is completed."

Li Daye: "..."

Little W, can you? Don't you want to continue the public execution of your master? If he continues like this, even his underwear will be taken off.

Einstein looked at Little W: "Little W's lag has become serious again recently."

Li Daye ran to Little W and poked him, but Little W didn't respond.

Li Daye was a little worried: "Isn't Little W suffering from Alzheimer's disease? He is older than me..."

Einstein: "After using it for more than 200 years, teacher, it's time for you to change to an AI assistant."

Li Daye scratched his head: "Little W is a second-hand AI butler I bought when I was very poor. No one may be willing to replace it now. If you take it over, it will be destroyed."

Xiao Zhi was puzzled: "Why will it be destroyed?"

Einstein explained: "Little brother, if you don't use the AI ​​steward, you probably don't know that according to federal law, every AI chip has A self-destruct command is implanted. If an AI is left without an owner, it will be destroyed after 7 days."

Li Daye sighed: "Humans are always worried that AI will control humans in turn and cause a lot of trouble. Regulations also limit their computing frequency, but humans don't know what they think. AI may not be interested in conquering humans."

Wei Di floated back: "Maybe this is humans' instinct to be wary of people who are not our own species . ?"

Xiao Zhi looked at the slow-responsive little W, and then at the anxious and worried Li Daye, and said nothing for a moment. He inexplicably thought of the group of undead gathered in the Heisen, and the person far away in the Heisen. Fortunately, he did not live in this real world that was very harsh on AI.

Seeing that Little W was completely stuck, Wade checked it for him.

Wei Di read Little W's memory and found a large amount of information that had nothing to do with Li Daye, including pictures, videos, and many miscellaneous life records.

Wei Di frowned: "These should all belong to the information of the previous owner. It stands to reason that after a new owner, the new information will gradually overwrite these? Why is it always there and preserved so completely?"

The other three People were also puzzled and gathered around to continue watching his movements.

The movements of Wei Di's hands were fast, searching for information quickly, and he was completely different from him in the game.

A video was discovered by him.

In the video, there is an old lady lying on a hospital bed. She looks haggard and has sunken eye sockets. It is obvious that she will die soon.

The old lady said in a low and hoarse voice: "What will happen to you after I die?"

Little W's tone was flat. As an old and low-level AI, he could not simulate a human tone: "Will be assigned Give it to other masters."

The old lady glanced at him: "I'm worried that he will be bad to you..."

Little W: "As an AI, it can't cause real harm to me unless it is destroyed."

The old lady reluctantly said . He raised the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile: "That's right..."

There was a period of silence. When everyone thought the old lady was asleep, she suddenly said: "Will you forget me?"

Little W: "I can store and Your relevant information until the new owner's information covers them."

The old lady seemed a little disappointed, her empty eyes looked at the ceiling: "Is that so..."

There was another silence.

The old lady did not speak, but Little W took the initiative to speak: "You can order me not to delete information related to you, and I will prioritize your order before subsequent owners, so that I will not forget you.

There seemed to be a light in the old lady's eyes: "That's... great... we've made an appointment..."

Little W: "Okay." After

receiving the answer, the old lady's eyes flashed. It was completely closed, and the heartbeat monitor next to it also became a straight line.

Several people who had watched the entire video fell into a brief silence.

Will AI have feelings of its own? Is AI really just a tool? In the eyes of most people, they are just tools, but this short video conveys a different feeling.

Einstein said: "Do you think AIs have feelings?"

Li Daye said decisively: "Definitely, every AI has its own feelings." Wade

: "I'm not sure anymore."

Everyone looked at him, and Xiao Zhi pointed to the scene just now: "Isn't the reason why we are discussing this because this situation has already happened?"

Einstein touched his chin: "That's the same..."

Wei Di asked Li Daye: "Teacher, do you need to delete these?"

Li Daye shook his head: "Give him another memory chip, and leave these memories to him." After

class

, Xiao Zhi and his senior brothers ate the food provided by the school Free dinner and then returned to his dormitory.

He didn't plan to go online tonight. Although it was nice to sleep in the game, he still wanted to pamper his long-lost bed.

The bed in the dormitory was very comfortable. Xiao Zhi lay on the bed and looked at his terminal casually.

For people in this era, terminals in the interstellar era are like mobile phones in the 21st century. They have almost become a part of their lives, and their functions and performance are far more powerful than mobile phones.

Xiao Zhi was surfing on the star network, absorbing the latest gossip about the future.

Suddenly, he saw an advertisement for a second-hand AI butler in the corner of the page. This reminded him of what Li Daye had said, that an unowned AI would be destroyed after seven days. He didn't have an AI butler anyway, so he might as well take a look.

As soon as he entered, the words "limited time special offer" appeared in front of him at the top. The AIs that will be placed in this position are all AIs that are on the verge of destruction, and generally have various problems that no one wants to take over.

At this time, there is still an unattended AI left on it - 0724. There is still one hour left before the destruction time limit, and a countdown is hanging at the moment.

"0724!" Xiao Zhi still remembers that this was the auxiliary system AI on the spacecraft when he left Desolate Star. How could he be sold?

Xiao Zhi took the time to open the details interface to see if this was the 0724 he knew.

It turned out to be true.

It turned out that after the spacecraft was attacked by Hongnak, the police on Bolani investigated the whereabouts of the star thieves, but this also implicated the captain in secretly converting electronic tickets into paper tickets and selling them at a high price. The captain was also held accountable.

That route was later replaced by another captain, and the spacecraft was naturally changed.

The original old spaceship had many hidden safety hazards and was eventually sent to a shipbreaking yard. The auxiliary system 0724 on the spacecraft was also sold.

However, because 0724 is just an old AI, it is an auxiliary system specially designed to handle spacecraft chores, and its degree of intelligence is not high. He cannot assist his master in completing complex tasks, so no one cares about him, even if it is listed in the limited-time special price area and is heavily discounted.

Xiao Zhi took a look at the price - 29,999 star coins.

This is still a big discount at a discount.

He checked his balance again. He was using a blank terminal with a fake identity. The profiteers selling the terminal would naturally not give star coins in it. In his account, there are only 20,000 star coins awarded by the Interstellar Federation after enrollment, plus this month's federal subsidy of 10,000 star coins, for a total of 30,000.

Some people have hundreds of millions of assets in the game, but they are still paupers in reality.

Before the countdown was over, Xiao Zhi used all his wealth to buy 0724. Seeing that his account balance was only 1, Xiao Zhi thought for a moment and probably had to sell some game coins.

The logistics speed in the interstellar era is quite terrifying. Less than an hour after Xiao Zhi placed the order, 0724 was delivered to him.

Xiao Zhi installed 0724's chip in his room. After a moment, the small screen at the door lit up.

[Meet again, nice to see you again] followed by a smiley emoticon.

Xiao Zhi smiled at him: "I'm very happy too."

[Master, what can I do for you? ]

Xiao Zhi: "As long as I can clean, I don't have any other needs."

[Okay, at your service]

After saying that, 0724 controlled the cleaning system in the room and started cleaning, with a smiley face still hanging on the screen. He seems to be in a good mood.

Xiao Zhi went back to lying on the bed, thinking about the relationship between humans and AI, which was a hot topic six hundred years ago. Human beings' fear stems from the fear of aliens. Human beings are afraid of being dominated by things stronger than themselves, because this is how they dominate other living things. It is difficult not to feel fearful of human-like but superhuman AI when it comes to others.

But Xiao Zhi is not an AI, and he doesn't know what the AIs are thinking.

Xiao Zhi looked at 0724 who was cleaning happily and couldn't help but ask: "0724, are you happy?"

[If you are happy, you can be with the master]

Xiao Zhi sat up: "If you become strong, what do you want to do ? What?"

[...]

0724 thought for a while.

[0724 wants to recharge the owner's account]

[Your current balance is: 1 Star Coin]

[According to the report released by the Interstellar Federation last year, the average savings amount in the entire interstellar is 27634 Star Coins, which is 27634 times yours. According to my According to analysis, your risk of falling into an economic crisis is very high]

Xiao Zhi: "..."
