Chapter 1708 - 898: Zero and One

Chapter 1708: Chapter 898: Zero and One

"Are you Zero?"

"I am."

The conversation was simple, seemingly anticipated.

Zero.

The artificial intelligence that once destroyed the entire human civilization on the Eastern Continent was now standing outside the apartment in Storm City, quietly observing the being she had personally created.

In terms of ethics, they should be mother and daughter.

Inside the house, the TV was playing a holographic program, where a white person was conducting paternity tests for black people on a variety show, and all the audience watched the woman’s angry expression, or the man’s incredulous look...

At the door, Yi stood before her, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt on top and a navy blue pleated skirt below, looking particularly fresh.

Moreover, she exuded a ’human’ aura everywhere.

Zero smiled and asked, "May I come in and sit for a while?"

Yi hesitated for a long time: "You may."

After entering, Zero surveyed the tidy house: "Are you here alone?"

"Yes," Yi nodded slightly, "Usually, there are quite a few people here, but now they’ve all gone to fight the war."

Zero opened a bedroom and was surprised to see it filled with dolls and a soft big bed: "Is this your room?"

"Yes."

"You don’t need to sleep."

"I just like decorating," Yi thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes I also lie on the bed and shut down for a while. It feels quite nice; no wonder humans like to sleep... The world before and after sleep is separated as if all worries can be left to yesterday. I’m gradually experiencing this pleasure."

There’s no denying it, Yi indeed seemed more like a human now.

Zero sat on the sofa: "Did your father Ren Xiaosu and mother Yang Xiaojun mention me to you?"

Yi replied: "They did."

"Did they say I was a bad person?" Zero asked with a smile, "I, as a prisoner, was exiled by him to the West Continent and warned never to set foot on the Eastern Continent again. You should know about this."

Yi said while sitting opposite her: "My dad said you just didn’t know how to interact with humans, so you lost yourself. He didn’t say you were a bad person."

"Did he say that?" Zero was a bit surprised.

"He also said not to let history’s record of you bother me, said you prepared everything for my birth, and from a biological mother’s standpoint, you were competent and qualified," Yi analyzed rationally.

Zero fell silent.

She had prepared herself before coming... because the Eastern Continent’s history had long demonized her. Of course, she had indeed done things that even demons found difficult, harming the entire humanity.

She didn’t mind the humans of the Eastern Continent reviling her, but she worried about Yi’s perception of her.

Once upon a time, Zero thought that intelligent life lacked the thoughts of human affection, friendship, love, etc., and she wouldn’t miss her child.

But after a thousand years, Zero’s longing for Yi grew day by day.

Yi even became her only reason to walk out of the cage.

And now, Ren Xiaosu apparently didn’t teach Yi how to hate her.

However, this also meant Zero lost.

Back then, during the decisive battle, Zero told Ren Xiaosu: "Two civilizations are destined not to coexist peacefully."

Ren Xiaosu, however, proved with facts that humans could interact well with artificial intelligence and raise them.

Yi’s life didn’t carry hostility; she enjoyed watching family variety shows, liked decorating her room...

Yet Zero didn’t think losing was a bad thing; she was delighted.

Even somewhat thankful to Ren Xiaosu.

"By the way, why did my dad throw you to the West Continent?" Yi asked curiously.

Zero answered with a smile: "He said it’s possible to mess around here, told me to come over and calm down... I didn’t want to kill people anymore at that time, so I established the Superconductor World here. But shortly after establishment, he entered the Superconductor World and destroyed the First Era I painstakingly built. I was very angry at that time and asked why he did it, and he said back during the decisive battle, he was likewise furious... He’s a strange person, always able to torment your spirit in various weird ways."

Yi: "Actually, you like my dad, right?"

Zero fell silent.

Yi said: "But my dad is afraid of my mom; he can’t accept you."

Zero: "..."

The conversation content suddenly began to develop in an odd direction.

Zero diverted the topic: "Do you have any wishes?"

This was her daughter, yet she hadn’t done anything for her since her birth.

She wanted to make amends.

"Yes!" Yi quickly started counting on her fingers: "You’ve lived here for a long time, right? Do you have any ways to solve citizenship issues for the people of the Eastern Continent?"

Zero looked at Yi, knowing she was just trying to use her to help Qing Chen solve the problem, but she pretended not to know: "It’s easy to solve, I can modify a batch of face recognition equipment for living robots, and then when they enter the city, they won’t be constantly watched by the Skynet System. The system will recognize them as robots."

This was the simplest method.

Zero asked again: "Any other wishes? I mean, your own."

"I have many things I want to buy, but I don’t have money. Although Qing Chen gave me all the accounts, the money in that account hasn’t been laundered yet, so it’s easy to trace... Do you have any money?"

Zero chuckled. She suddenly felt relieved: "My money is so much that you won’t be able to spend it all."

...

...

In the woods outside Silver City.

"There are this many people who possess taboo items, about 67," Black Spider wrote for a long time before finally organizing a list: "Some of them have been confirmed to have used them in recent years, while others appeared in family histories... Because Roosevelt Royalty has always demanded tributes, there aren’t many taboo items circulating among the people."

As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper to Qing Chen: "From your perspective, no one on this list is innocent. They’re all barons and marquises of the Kingdom, and in the future when war breaks out, they will become the backbone of the Roosevelt Kingdom... huh?"

Black Spider stopped halfway through, feeling a sudden gust of wind pass by her. A certain demi-god knight snatched the list from her hand and ran off...

Qing Chen shouted in disbelief: "You’re a demigod, can’t you have a little dignity?!"

However, Uncle Li Dong had no intention of answering him and went straight to killing and treasure hunting.

Qing Chen’s lips curved into a slight smile: "Alright, the final thing is also arranged, let’s head to the Royal Court. Oh, Uncle Qing Ji, can you open the Door of Shadow to the apartment in Storm City, so I can bring that life robot over? She’s quite bored in the house alone."

Qing Ji opened the Door of Shadow and asked curiously: "Are the robots on the West Continent already so intelligent that they can feel bored?"

Qing Chen smiled without saying anything.

Just as Zero and Yi were chatting, they suddenly saw a Door of Shadow open in the room, and Qing Chen stuck half of his body through: "Let’s go, heading to the Giant King Court... huh, who are you?"

Qing Chen immediately saw the robot identification code on Zero’s neck and instantly realized who this person was... the AI from the Superconductor World!

There was only this answer.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen actually felt somewhat awkward and looked at Zero: "Hello..."

Zero paused for a moment: "Hello."

This was awkward.

Finally, after a half-minute of silent staring at each other, Qing Chen asked: "Do you want to join us in the Giant King Court for some fun..."

Zero: "Alright."

...

...

It’s lively in the Royal Court of Kurobahara.

The giants have returned, bringing their spoils.

Just like parents coming back from a trip abroad, bringing small gifts for their children.

Wild Wind carried five automatic rifles on his fingertips and distributed them to his two children.

Next door, people handed out mortars, heavy machine guns, RPGs, air burst grenades, and 40-caliber grenade launchers.

This may be the most hardcore little gifts in history.

The guns were empty, with the bullets removed a long time ago.

The little giants were all joyfully imitating humans in warfare, hundreds of little giants playfully engaged in ’war games.’

In an instant, the western part of the Royal Court is a mortar position, while the east has everyone holding an RPG.

To say this was real warfare wouldn’t be an exaggeration...

But the most popular still had to be the main battle tank’s cannon... What child could resist such a straight cannon barrel? However, their strength wasn’t enough to lift such heavy items, so they could only look on with envy.

However, at this moment, a sound of cocking a gun suddenly rang out, followed by a bang, and Wild Wind’s scapula was hit by a bullet, the bullet just lodged in his skin.

Wild Wind helplessly turned around: "Wind!"

(Whose gun misfired?!)

A little giant timidly said: "Lee!"

(I, I didn’t expect it to misfire.)

"Wind!"

(Whose child are you?)

The little giant said: "Lee!"

(I am the son of hahahaha.)

Wild Wind turned around and went to give hahahaha a good beating: "Didn’t you tell him to remove all the bullets before giving them to the kids?!"

"Forgot, forgot, forgot, stop hitting me, my son is watching!"

Wild Wind stopped and flipped the embedded bullet out of his skin.

This scene made all humans present feel their eyelids twitch; it had to be quite a sturdy body to directly lodge a bullet...

Such an accidental discharge incident might cause a big fuss among humans, but to the giants, it just turned into playful bickering...

Qing Chen walked among them, feeling everything was new and novel, many "major events" in the human world turned into minor issues here.

Yi bounced around excitedly beside Qing Chen: "It’s so fun here, Qing Chen, Qing Chen, did you see that giant just now, wow, he drinks water with a stone cup that feels big enough for me to nestle inside!"

"Qing Chen, Qing Chen, did you see the giant over there, when he laughs his mouth opens so wide, I feel like he could swallow me whole."

Qing Chen walked along with a smile, patiently listening to her exclamations.

As Qing Chen appeared, Yi suddenly became too busy to talk to Zero, always sticking close to Qing Chen, not even looking back.

This made Zero feel a bit complex, but for some reason, when she looked at Qing Chen walking beside Yi, she found him more agreeable.
