Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 805: Dialogue with AI

100 squats, 100 push-ups; any normal person without training would find it difficult to complete.

However, for Qing Chen, this was merely a warm-up.

Five female slaves, carrying the spirit of sacrifice for the cause of rebellion, came to the perverted butler's room late at night, prepared to endure humiliation and torture, and ultimately carry out the assassination.

The events unfolded completely differently from their expectations...

"Too perverted!"

"If it's this kind of game, why did you make us wear stockings? Wouldn't it be better if we wore sportswear?!"

At that moment, Qing Chen, looking at the five female slaves who planned to assassinate him, cracked his whip with a sharp sound, "What are you waiting for? Start doing squats. You must do them correctly, head up, chest out, keep your upper body straight, you can slightly lean forward; feet shoulder-width apart, do not bend at the waist, feet parallel, toes pointing straight ahead..."

The female slaves feared the whip. They had just been whipped by the butler that morning. Who would want to try it again? Avoid being whipped if possible!

The female slaves began to do squats. Even though they usually worked in the villa, by the time they reached seventy squats, they were exhausted; their backs were covered in sweat.

Qing Chen sat leisurely on the sofa, browsing his phone. Yi sent a message: "Please point the camera at them, I want to watch."

Qing Chen: "..."

Yi's sick hobby would even shock a pervert.

He typed a reply: "Can you traverse the civilian network of West Continent now?"

Yi replied after more than ten seconds: "The nodes of the civilian network are being segmented by Data Fortress. The network structure here is very peculiar. My current location is the first layer, the public network, where only social platforms, public information, and news are visible. The second layer should be the private information layer. To invade someone's electronic device, I must break through Data Fortress, but this requires a powerful quantum computer. Moreover, I suspect the second layer..."

"Hmm?"

"I feel like this peculiar network architecture is specifically designed to prevent me," Yi messaged.

Qing Chen replied thoughtfully, "Perhaps it's not preventing you, but another super AI!"

In his guess, the AI and Roosevelt Kingdom were definitely not peaceful from the beginning. There must have been conflicts, and finally, both sides reached a reconciliation within each other's acceptable range.

But because of this incident, Roosevelt Kingdom is so wary of AI.

This is the same reason why the Federation is resistant to AI, except that the intensity of the battle between humans and AI on East Continent is much higher.

Qing Chen looked up at the female slaves: "Did I tell you to stop? Continue with the squats. The second one on the left, you still have 7 more, don't think I don't know. After the squats, do push-ups."

The female slaves were shocked. Is this human? He must have some kind of perverted hobby?

Qing Chen lowered his head and typed: "Have you seen any news related to Dominating Vessel?"

Yi: "Yes... In fact, that Yi also left me a message, telling me her choice."

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly realized a problem. The existence of AI life is truly special:

When Yi replicated herself, although the two programs were the same, they were actually two lives.

For example, two identical Qing Chens are here, with the same body, the same memories, but suddenly one can only live in the Outer World, and one can only live in the Inner World.

A year later, are they still the same person? No, they have experienced different lives, made new friends, and even fallen in love with different people.

Memory is the soul carrier of a person.

So, Yi is the same.

Only when the two Yi's recombine and exchange information will they become one again, but the Yi on the fortress doesn't have this opportunity.

That lonely little girl sitting in the command seat of the Dominating Vessel Air Fortress, quietly waiting for the last moment to come, is a unique individual. She possesses memories and a soul that other Yi's do not have.

Just that 1 hour and 12 minutes have already divided the two "Yi's into two different lives.

Because that 1 hour and 12 minutes was unique, that Yi within that 1 hour and 12 minutes will never appear again.

Therefore, the Yi on the Air Fortress is truly facing death. She knows what she has done for Qing Chen, and then calmly faces her own demise. Her code will not return to Yi's original body, but will be actively formatted by her.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen, who had been calm, suddenly fell silent.

If time could be rewound, he wouldn't change his choice sentimentally, because Yi said, "Success doesn't have to be achieved by me'.

But if time were truly rewound, he would at least say a proper goodbye to that Yi.

Qing Chen typed and asked: "What message did she leave you?"

Yi was silent for a few seconds: "I don't want to talk... You'd better hold up your phone and let me see the female slaves doing push-ups."

Qing Chen: "..."

At this time, the female slaves had finished 100 push-ups, and everyone was gasping for breath.

Qing Chen calculated a 5-minute rest time and assigned a new task: "Come on, 100 jumping jacks each, start!"

Having said that, he continued to chat with Yi on his phone: "Freemen can buy robots, right? I checked, freemen can buy D-Class robots or below, and the component sizes of all robots are the same. We can get a body first, and then slowly upgrade you to A-Class, so you can have a body you like first. As for the A-Class nuclear-powered mechanical heart kit, it does require a noble quota, which I haven't figured out yet, but I've found a way to make money in the Virtual Realm, and I'll be able to save enough money for the mechanical heart soon."

A mechanical heart costs 130 million after a discount, so 260 million superconductive coins are needed. Previously, Qing Chen led a team of 7 people to complete the level, each team earning 14 million. In more than 20 hours, he led a total of 8 teams, totaling 112 million superconductive coins.

So, earning a nuclear-powered mechanical heart doesn't seem difficult; just increase the price for the noble children!

Then there's the most realistic nano-skin, which can feel the most real temperature and breeze. The bulletproof skin even has delicate textures, as if the pores can breathe.

And there are stronger limbs, and pulse components that can be driven by the mechanical heart.

Although the prices are very high, at least Qing Chen has found a way to make money and the suckers willing to pay, right?

At this time, due to the jumping jacks, the needles hidden in the female slaves' hair fell out...

They observed Qing Chen's expression, confirming that he was seriously looking at his phone and hadn't looked up, so they relaxed and quickly bent down to pick up the needles and hide them back in their hair.

Qing Chen was struggling to suppress his laughter. He couldn't expose these people; if he did, he would offend Rebellion and have to kill them. Otherwise, if he discovered Rebellion but didn't take action, and these female slaves were arrested and interrogated, he would also be implicated.

Then Black Widow would ask him: You discovered Rebellion, why didn't you report it or kill them?

How would he answer?

So, even if their clumsy act was revealed, he had to pretend not to see it...

He was having a really hard time.

When the female slaves finished 100 jumping jacks and stopped, they were almost exhausted, Qing Chen looked up and said: "Did I tell you to stop? Another 100 sit-ups. After that, repeat all the previous actions."

The female slaves were about to collapse. They took the initiative to say: "Butler, why don't we play something else? Something fun?!"

West Continent slaves don't have many traditional views on chastity, including men; there are many nobles who like men, and slaves, in this era, are naturally other people's playthings.

So, when the female slaves first came, they were slightly resistant, but now they are thinking, if only this butler was as perverted as they imagined...

The direction of this perversion is different from what they thought!

Of course, whether they are tired or not doesn't matter. The key is that if they continue this way, they will have no chance to get close to the butler and kill him!

Before they even got close to the butler, they were already exhausted. Qing Chen didn't pay attention to them. He wasn't even interested in finding the mastermind of Rebellion: "Sit-ups, start."

Having said that, he lowered his head and started messaging Yi again.

Yi didn't stand on ceremony with him, and had already sent several models of robots: "The Guangmang 27th generation is quite cost-effective, but its skin is rough and can only sense temperature. The Liuxing-21st generation is the latest model this year, and its plasticity is stronger, and it can be compatible with all modifications in the future... The price is a bit expensive, it costs over 3 million."

A robot of more than 3 million is equivalent to a mid-range car. Although the kingdom's rules allow freemen to buy robots, ordinary freemen really can't afford this kind of robot.

They can probably buy those square robot boxes that are compatible with sweeping, washing dishes, and washing clothes, which is good for doing housework.

To have a humanoid robot, you need over a million. Yi didn't know how much money Qing Chen had earned, so she was a little hesitant when making requests. She was afraid that Qing Chen couldn't afford it and would be embarrassed.

Yi quickly said: "Forget these two, they're too expensive. I'll look at others."

She even comforted Qing Chen: "It's just for temporary use anyway. You don't have to buy such an expensive one. A cheaper one is also fine; otherwise, it would be a waste."

Qing Chen typed with a smile: "Buy it. We must buy the best one. You're afraid that I haven't made any money, right? I now have over 50 million in West Continent cash after converting the money from the Virtual Realm. I must buy you the best one."

At one point, Qing Chen thought of Yi's first body falling with the Dominating Vessel, and felt that he must give this little girl the best; whatever others have, Yi must have as well.

When Yi heard Qing Chen say this, she immediately became excited: "I thought you hadn't made any money. Qing Chen, you're so nice. By the way, is the Virtual Realm fun?"

"It's pretty fun," Qing Chen replied thoughtfully: "After I chat with that AI again and make sure there's no problem, I'll find a way to bring you in as well. Although the virtual cabin and virtual glasses connect through the Neuron, since it has a physical port, there must be a way to physically crack it. Then connect your robotic body and the port, and it should work."

He looked up at the female slaves, watching these girls exhausted: "Okay, you can go back."

The female slaves: "???"

Boss, we did 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 200 jumping jacks, and 200 squats just to get intimate with you and then kill you.

And now you've finished with us and let us go back?

Just like that?

Qing Chen waved his whip and sneered: "What? Do you want to do another set?"

"No, no," the Rebellion female slaves hurriedly said: "We're leaving now."

When the five girls walked, their legs were shaking, and they supported each other to go out.

In the dim corridor, a black man slowly walked out of the shadows. He frowned at the sweaty and embarrassed appearance of the female slaves and asked with some doubt: "Did you kill the butler?"

The female slaves handed him the needles in their hair: "No, no chance. He almost played us to death."

The black man was stunned. He looked at the sweaty female slaves: "Is he that powerful?"

The female slaves said: "You misunderstood. We didn't do anything when we went in. We just did some physical training... ..."

After the female slaves recounted the events, the black man was dumbfounded. This butler is training assassins or something?!

What the heck is going on!

The female slaves supported each other and left. The black slave frowned at the door of Qing Chen's room, hesitating for a moment whether to kill the butler himself.

As far as he knew, the control programs of the slaves' chips were not in Roosevelt's hands. That noble son, in order to save trouble, gave the phone with the control program to the butler for safekeeping. The butler managed everything.

Without killing the butler, he hadn't gone too far with Roosevelt, and he might be killed.

After thinking for a few minutes, he finally retreated into the shadows. The plan failed, and Rebellion had to prepare a new plan.

Qing Chen listened to the footsteps outside and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know what these Rebellion people are doing. It's like a child's play. Even the Federation's Black Spade is better than them."

Xu Linsen didn't know that their past actions had been despised by Qing Chen.

Qing Chen said to his phone: "I'm going to enter the Virtual Realm. You can play around on the civilian network for a while. If someone approaches, ring the bell to wake me up."

Yi responded: "Don't worry, I'll keep watch for you."

Qing Chen put on the virtual glasses and his consciousness entered the familiar white space.

This time, he sat down calmly in the white space and asked bluntly: "Why are you helping me?"

"How do you know it was me who helped you?" The AI asked gently.

"I only know you in the Federation," Qing Chen said seriously: "So you know I'm from East Continent, you have my handle, but I don't have yours. I'm curious what you want to do? If you want me to help you against the Kennedy family, I think you should forget it. I don't have that ability. Unless, I, Prophet, know what help you can provide."

The AI suddenly asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing in West Continent? Isn't it to fight against the Kennedy family? I know you're trying to increase your bargaining chips, but it's not necessary. I hope our conversation can be more honest. If I had ill intentions towards you, you would have died hours ago. Perhaps you could hold Black Widow hostage, and Storm Duke does care about her, but how long can you escape on West Continent's territory?"

Qing Chen was silent for a while. He didn't expect the other party to guess his last resort. This kind of opponent... is very difficult to deal with.

He asked bluntly: "So, you're also an enemy of the Kennedy family?"

"It depends on how you define enemies. If it refers to people who are hostile to each other due to mutual hatred, then the Kennedy family is not my enemy because I have no hatred towards them. But if it refers to "the enemy of a friend is an enemy', then the Kennedy family is my enemy."

Qing Chen was stunned: "You want to be friends with me?"

"That seems like a good choice."

Qing Chen fell silent. This so-called friendship came too quickly, making it feel unreal. He was full of doubts about the AI's intentions.

Then, the AI said conversely: "Let me remind you of something. The Kennedy Kingdom has started to suspect that the battle of Dominating Vessel was controlled by AI. If you are thinking about that child, try to keep her hidden, don't participate in battles casually. Otherwise, she will face endless imprisonment."

The AI continued to ask: "She tried to stall for time on the Dominating Vessel, it was to give you a chance to sneak in, right? She was protecting you. In that case, I can give you some help."

As it spoke, a holographic projection appeared in the white space, quickly flashing information related to the butler: residential address, family relationships, behavioral characteristics, videos of interactions with Earl Roosevelt and Lanshan.

All of this is what Qing Chen needed most! This help came just in time!

Qing Chen keenly noticed several pieces of information.

First, the AI was very sure that Yi is female, which had hints before.

Second, the AI can see the battle scenes of Dominating Vessel. She has contact with the high-level officials of the Kennedy Kingdom, her cooperation with the Kennedy Kingdom is closer than imagined. And the other party can access resident information and surveillance, which means the AI can enter the lower-level network world that Yi cannot enter.

Third, for now, this AI shows a certain degree of goodwill towards its kind and is willing to help the person Yi is protecting.

Fourth, and very importantly, some of Qing Chen's actions with the butler are inconsistent; his tone of voice and his attitude towards Lanshan are different from usual. Combined with Lanshan's attitude, he even suspects that Lanshan has already seen through his identity and deliberately protected him when Black Widow was investigating, such as when Lanshan asked him to help pour a cup of water. If this is the case, Lanshan is not just a silly son of a landlord.

Combining all the information, Qing Chen suddenly asked back: "May I ask, do you know Ren Xiaosu?"

The AI calmly replied: "I don't."
