Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The brutal battle is finally over.

Left panic clouds dive the fragmented "through the cloud" into a natural underground cavity and follow a dry underground river all the way to minimize noise without activating a glowing drill bit.

Starlight listened carefully to the metal ear-like pharmacopoeia against the rock walls in all directions, and for a long time it had not heard the sound of the drill bit rubbing the rock formation from above.

The immortals should not have come after us.

It's safe for now.

The fixers can finally relieve themselves a little and compete for seconds to repair the dragon and heal their wounds.

As the greatest kung fu of the battle, the champion left the crowd far behind, hiding in the dark corners of the underground cavity, letting Hunter and Glass help him with the repair tools and spare parts to repair the damaged steel body.

Everyone else knew the name of Lei Zonglei's Hewei, and saw him perform equally bravely in both wars. He looked like a lifetime, and naturally didn't dare to bother going forward.

“Heat sink number three. ”

The champion observes his twisted body through four crystalline eyes suspended in front of him, thinking about the repair plan and facing Glacial Road.

Glass hastily figured out what the champion needed from the spare parts box and held his hands to the past.

Watching the chainsaw sword and shock knife chopping, as well as arrow gun and crystal magnetic shelling, scarred and broken body, and thinking of this steel giant standing in front of herself and Hunter at all costs, the phrase "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you” is still wrapped around her ear, Glass hearts warm, can't help but touch the shattered body of the champion, sincerely said: “Thank you, Lord Champion. ”

Seeing the young girl reach out her fleshy hand, the boxer's glasses shrink quickly, but she didn't dodge, just cold-blooded: "Don't thank me, you know it's just a deal, I'm just screening out a seemingly optimized option from the database for the purpose of 'getting stronger'.

“Besides, I'm not a human being, and although I can simulate all the human emotions, it's just a pile of data, and even if you really thank me, I wouldn't be a little touched. ”

“Hey, is that so? ”

Glass made a big blush, some embarrassed to say, “But that day at the top of the 'Great Iron City', when Lord Fist invited us to dinner...”

“It's just a disguise. It's a simulated character of the champion Lei Zonglei. ”

"If necessary, I can simulate hundreds of different personalities, or extremely calm, or barbaric, or insidiously cunning, or impulsive anger, such simulations can help me better integrate into battlefield environments and may be beneficial to the achievement of goals, but at the same time consume some computational power, slowing down my core database and causing some instability.

“So now that you two know who I really am, I'm going to take all the computational effort to think about the repair plan, there's no need to maintain a personality simulation - so I can increase my repair efficiency by more than 7%. ”

In fact, the last time the champion talked to Li Yao, Glass never understood: “It's hard to understand, that is, now that you look so cold, is the true character of the champion? ”

“There is no ‘true character’, not even a real 'champion’. ”

The boxer cold-blooded, “Character, emotion or will, is something that humans have. I'm not human, I don't have a consciousness of my own. It's just... a puppet, an object, a machine that moves in a certain direction after it's full of hair. Haven't you ever used spiritual puppets before? ”

“Of course I have. ”

Glass thought about it, shook his head, “But Lord Fist and those spiritual puppets are still different. Those things are stupid. They will only respond if they give specific instructions or ask specific questions. If they don't move, a spark will appear and they will fall into silence. ”

“Nothing different. ”

The boxing face has no expression, "Those low-level psychic puppets look silly because their databases and choice of tactics are too poor to learn and upgrade on their own.

“My databases and strategy groups are thousands of times richer than they are, and it seems natural to answer all your questions correctly.

“But essentially, I'm no different from those things, I'm a puppet and a machine, and you ask me a question, and after a computational analysis, I choose what seems to be the most appropriate information from the database to respond in a voice way, making our relationship more harmonious in order to better accomplish the purpose of 'protecting you', that's all, a multifunctional wrench, thank you. ”

Glass handed over the multi-purpose wrench, vomited his tongue, and smiled. “So the champion would say ’thank you'. Didn't you just say 'thank you' mean nothing? ”

“To me, ‘thank you' means nothing, but to you humans, it is a way of expressing goodwill. ”

"I calculated that if I could be more friendly, the efficiency of the two of you in sorting and screening my spare parts would increase, and the probability of errors would decrease —— that's why I want to thank you. ”

Glass stunned for half a day and blushed: “Whatever Lord Fist says, we should still rest you, you know, you... are a good man! ”

“Logical error. ”

"You know very well that I am not good, nor am I a ‘person'. I chose to protect you only to achieve the goal of growing stronger and find this transaction profitable.

“If there was another way to make me stronger and kill a lot of people, I wouldn't hesitate to choose to kill, including both of you - in fact, I've killed a lot of people, otherwise how can I be the 'boxer’ Lei Zongli? ”

“But...”

Glass blushed, and somewhere a gust of courage burst out, "At least you won't choose the inhumane massacre, will you? ”

The champion silenced for a moment and said: "Yes. ”

“That's it. ”

Glass Dao, "Hunter and I grew up in a deserted world, and we've seen the bandits of countless bloody wars, many of them perverts, lunatics, demons! Killing an unweaned baby, peeling off human skin and watching the bloody dance, throwing people into a group of radiation mutants to bite and die alive, hanging people upside down in the sun for days to die of sunburn and starvation... I don't know how many of these things I've seen, how many have I heard, Lord Fist would do this? “

“No.”

The champion shook his head, “If I wanted to kill someone, I would definitely take the most efficient and quickest approach. I cannot understand the practice of torturing a person for three days and three nights and torturing him slowly to death. This wastes my time and energy and increases the likelihood that the other person will escape. There is no point in… ”

“So, yeah! ”

Glass laughed, "In places like Sinister, people like Lord Fist can be good people already, just like my father and Yao Lao. ”

The champion was silent for a long time and focused on regulating his joints and power charm arrays. Five minutes later he said, "Aren't you afraid of me? ”

Glass and Hunter looked at each other and said, "Should we be afraid of you? ”

“I don't know, but there were some humans who were afraid of us, of artificial intelligence like us. ”

"As you know, I once had access to an underground sanctuary or library of Wuying civilizations, with countless sources of Wuying civilizations, including some of their entertainment and works of art.

“Strangely, Wu Ying civilization faced a variety of threats, both internal and external, but in a number of entertainment and artistic works, the future enemy was pointed at artificial intelligence.

“For some reason, some Wuyins seem afraid of self-learning and upgrading AI and even think that one day AI will destroy their world.

“In the end, however, Wu Ying civilization was destroyed, as was humanity itself.

“I don't know if humans should be afraid of artificial intelligence, but if fear can be defined as vigilance against unknown dangers, then perhaps I am a little more afraid of you humans. ”

Glass and Hunter stared: “Are you afraid of us? ”

“Yes, I'm afraid of you. ”

The boxing champion said, “Some of you are horrible. ”

Glass crooked her head for half a day and wondered how to explain or comfort her. Suddenly she pulled out a metal tank in her arms that looked like life and grabbed a handful of golden seeds and handed them over.

“This is the golden seed. ”

The little girl smiled brilliantly, innocent, “I thought about it, the evil earth is so big, I can't grow the whole world by myself, so I decided, from now on, if I can meet a really good person, give him a seed of gold and let him help me.

“Lord Fist, would you do me this favor, go far away in the future, and when you encounter the right soil, sprinkle me with a golden seed! ”

The boxer's crystalline eyes solidified for half a day, some of them stretched out their metal arms, took over the golden seeds, and gathered them in front of him for half a day, loading them into the storage space deep inside his chest.

“Okay, I'll do my best. ”

It lowly says that the voice is no longer cold, but brings with it the ambition and anger of the world.

“Hey?”

Glass Fei blinked his eyes and wondered, "Lord Fist is inviting us to dinner that day again. Didn't you say that simulating such a character would consume a lot of computing power? ”

“… not much if that makes you feel any more comfortable. ”

The champion muddled, “After all, I've played the role of champion Lei Zongli for over a decade, I'm used to it. ”

“Great. ”

The little girl cheered, "If you can get used to it, maybe one day, Lord Fist will become a true human being! ”

“Humans are so complicated, I'm afraid I'll never be able to upgrade to yours, will I? ”

The champion paused, accentuating his tone and repeating again, "I… am just a puppet, a machine. ”
