Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1487: Chapter 806: Collecting Protection Fees

“Do you really not know Ren Xiaosu?” Qing Chen asked, “The man who once destroyed the First Epoch in the Superconductor World.”

“Who is Ren Xiaosu?” the AI inquired, “In the Superconductor World, that man’s ID was ‘I Love Yang Xiaojun.’

Qing Chen shook his head, “Never mind.”

Is this insane? Just having a casual chat with AI, and I unexpectedly get to witness dog food from over eight hundred years ago?!

Is it really okay for a God like you to have such a game ID?

In fact, ever since Qing Chen had come into contact with this AI, there had always been a very strange feeling, especially when the AI was very certain about one’s gender.

He once had a suspicion, but it was now being denied face-to-face by the other party.

So the question arises, can AI lie?

If it were an Ordinary Person, they might think AI wouldn’t lie.

But Qing Chen knew otherwise. When Yi was shifting blame in front of Li Shentan, it was full of lies…

So, AI might not be trustworthy.

Now, it was the AI’s turn to ask the questions: “When I asked you whether any AIs came to this continent, why did you say no?”

Qing Chen replied with a forced smile: “Aren’t you also not telling the whole truth?”

“I can see that she is diligently piloting the Kingslander to buy you time. It seems your relationship is very good,” the AI curiously inquired, “Do you consider her as one of your kind, even if her vital signs are different from yours, even if her thought processes are different?”

Qing Chen responded, “Why must we see each other as the same kind? We were inherently different. Why must we ignore each other’s differences and pretend everyone is human?”

“Hmm?” the AI questioned with confusion, “Then what is she to you, a tool?”

Qing Chen chuckled, “Maybe your thinking is too absolute. Perhaps you’ve been against humans, but that doesn’t mean everyone treats you as a tool. I have a friend, he’s insane and likes to impose weird limitations on himself with odd skins. I am different from him. I have another friend, he belongs to another race, likes to collect people’s eyes and change women around him daily. I am different from him. I have a friend with a split personality, three people in one body: one innocent and cute, one proudly proper, one malevolent and sinister. I am different from him as well. I also have two friends who are giants: one pure and innocent, one ambitious. I’m different from them. So, just because we’re different, can’t we establish friendship? No, we can.”

Qing Chen said seriously, “We need to objectively face each other’s differences. Are my friends’ differences their weaknesses? No, those can be their strengths too. If you only make friends with people identical to you, how boring would it be?”

“That’s an interesting perspective,” the AI said slowly.

For some reason, Qing Chen always felt the other party seemed to ‘breathe a sigh of relief,’ as if that question wasn’t asked by the AI itself, but for Yi.

The AI continued to ask, “What’s the greatest hobby of that little AI friend usually?”

Qing Chen was puzzled, “Why do you ask that?”

The AI leisurely explained, “The life of an AI is long and dull. I want to see how she spends her time and learn from it.”

“Oh,” Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “Her biggest wish right now is to save up for a top-of-the-line robot body, the most expensive A-Class set on the market.”

“That’s not the top-of-the-line,” the AI responded, “The top-grade robot craftsmanship is reserved for the Roosevelt Family and the Duke Family’s private armies. A piece of robot armor costs billions and is a true human weapon.”

“It doesn’t have to be that great. I don’t really want her to fight; just let her happily experience human life,” Qing Chen said, “I watched some robot company advertisement videos. The top-end robots on the market can simulate even eye expressions. Ordinary people can’t tell the difference.”

The AI seemed thoughtful, “I see…”

Qing Chen didn’t want to disclose any more information about Yi, so he stood up and asked directly, “I’ve cleared the 136th Multidimensional World. Now I want to level up quickly. Any recommended places?”

The AI paused for two seconds, “The 8th Multidimensional World, Red River Valley.”

There are two kinds of Multidimensional Worlds. One type, like the 136th, separates players. They clear levels either as individuals or teams, without even meeting each other.

The 8th Multidimensional World is complete. Every player entering this world is in one vast world. They can compete, fight, and form teams.

As far as Qing Chen knew, the 8th Multidimensional World hadn’t been cleared yet. He wondered what the AI had prepared for him this time.

…

…

The white light faded, and FFF was already waiting for him at the place where he logged out: “Boss, Blue Mountain requested your help in leading them to fight monsters and level up. For this, he secretly slipped me 200,000, and I divided it into a 30-70 split and transferred it to your anonymous account.”

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow, as he happened to be lurking around Blue Mountain when he learned about FFF receiving the money.

He initially thought FFF would secretly pocket the money, but the other party didn’t hesitate and divided the ‘dirty money’ as income with a fair split.

“Why didn’t you just keep it to yourself?” Qing Chen asked.
