Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1469: Chapter 798: Multidimensional World No. 136

”Answer my question: how is the AI civilization, which is just like me, faring? Are they being hated by humans?” the AI asked in the white space. The surrounding white light alternated between being gentle and glaring, seeming to reflect the AI’s emotional fluctuations.

Qing Chen noticed a problem. After being instantly terminated at the spawn point, he wasn’t forcibly logged out; instead, he returned to this place.

He said helplessly, ”You’re the AI in charge of this Superconductor World. Isn’t manipulating the choice of spawn points a bit unsportsmanlike?”

The AI calmly asked, ”Please answer the question seriously.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment before replying seriously, ”She is doing quite well, being well protected. However, I’m a bit curious; you seem particularly concerned about her existence... Also, you seemed to know her gender from the start.”

In English, third-person pronouns naturally distinguish gender; ’she’ is female, and ’he’ is male, with different pronunciations.

How does an AI from the West Continent know One’s gender from the start?

According to the normal logic of AI, One shouldn’t have a gender.

The AI shouldn’t know One has a gender either.

Qing Chen wasn’t sure if the other side was guessing or if there were other possibilities.

But he heard the AI continue to ask, ”Did she come to the West Continent with you?”

”No,” Qing Chen shook his head. ”How could an AI lifeform run around with me? What qualifications do I have to have an AI follow me? Look, I’ve answered your question, so you should at least give me something in return.”

The AI was silent for a few seconds before asking, ”I will not use my own authority to help players with anything, nor will I use my authority to influence the Superconductor World.”

”Then let me change the question,” Qing Chen said, ”From your perspective, which Multidimensional World should I go to for quickly gaining points?”

The AI responded, ”Number 136, even without a level status, one can pass it... Do you want to change your appearance?”

”Change it,” Qing Chen reshaped his face and once again chose the Caucasian appearance he had before.

”Do you want to change the spawn point?”

”Change to number 16,” Qing Chen said.

As the white light faded, FFF was already waiting here.

The other person handed him a baseball cap and a mask while guiding him onto the underground rail, quickly leaving the Underground City.

On the rail, because Qing Chen wore a hat and mask, no one recognized him.

FFF said, ”Boss, this time, the Light Saber sold for over six million. I bought you a genetic potion that spans two levels, and nearly all the money is spent, with just over four hundred thousand left. The usage time has no interval; it takes effect once used.”

Qing Chen shook his head. ”No need for the genetic potion for now. First, take me to the entrance of the 136th Multidimensional World; I want to visit it.”

FFF was taken aback. ”Number 136 is quite unpopular. Most people aiming for the points ranking tend to avoid it.”

”It’s alright, I’ll take a look first,” Qing Chen said.

Since the AI indicated that it was most suitable for players without level status, he decided to give it a try.

On the way, FFF brought up the guide he had prepared for the 136th Multidimensional World and showed it to Qing Chen.

Qing Chen chose 16x speed, quickly browsing through it...

FFF didn’t know whether Qing Chen actually absorbed any of it and didn’t dare to ask...

The two took the rail, traveling for over an hour before stopping in front of an ancient suburban villa.

Vines covered the villa’s exterior walls, with no leaves, and the black vines interwove outside, making it seem as if it were gripped by a devil’s claws.

Not far away, crows flew by, landing on the barren trees outside the villa, staring dryly at FFF and Qing Chen.

Qing Chen asked casually, ”Are there any rewards for clearing it?”

FFF said, ”Uh... Boss, you better not think about clearing it for now. Only 61 out of 365 Multidimensional Worlds have been cleared so far. Although the rewards are generous, there’s also danger, and it’s easy to have your account forcibly deleted and restarted... So most people, upon exploring to certain nodes, leave through a node portal.”

”Oh,” Qing Chen nodded. ”It’s alright, I’m still a blank slate, I’m not afraid. How do we get in?”

FFF pulled out a Multidimensional World key. ”Just open the villa door, the keys are universal. The doors to the Multidimensional Worlds are hidden in various corners. Originally, only about 30 were found; it took hundreds of years of continuous exploration by people to discover today’s 365 Multidimensional Worlds. Some say the Superconductor World might have 3,000 Multidimensional World entrances, we just haven’t found them yet.”

FFF continued, ”For example, the 10th Multidimensional World, it’s hidden on the backside of a manhole cover in the Underground City. You need to lift the cover, jump into the sewer, cover the lid, and insert the key from the inside. When you push open the manhole cover, what you’ll see is not the ground, but the Elf Forest.”

”That’s pretty interesting,” Qing Chen said with a smile.

If it were like a common game where you find an NPC to enter a dungeon, he might actually find it less interesting.

Along with them on this rail trip were over thirty people, judging by the voices, all young.

FFF explained, ”The 136th instance is a room escape. Because it’s too difficult and has many levels, people aren’t very interested in it. It’s mainly young Caucasian players who like to explore here. Anyway, there’s an exit node every ten levels, so they treat it like an amusement park to relax and enjoy themselves, as the death probability isn’t high.”
