Chapter 2073 I am just a machine
The cruel battle is finally over.
Zuo Jingyun sneaked the fragmented "Chuanyun" into a natural underground cavity and advanced along a dry underground river, so that the noise could be minimized without activate the mysterious drill bit.
The starlight organized the earth listened to the good hand pressed the metal ear-like magic weapon against the rock walls in all directions. It took a long time for the sound of drill bits rubbing against the rock formations above.
The immortal cultivator should not have chased him.
It is safe for the time being.
The cultivators finally breathed a little relieved, raced against time to inspect the divine dragon, and cured their injuries.
As the biggest hero of this battle, the boxing champion left the crowd far away and hid in the dark corner of the underground cavity, asking Hante and Liuli to help him with repair tools and spare components to repair the damaged steel body.
Everyone knows the reputation of "boxing champion" Lei Zonglie. He also saw his equally brave performance in the two battles. Seeing that he looked like he was not close to someone, he naturally did not dare to come forward to disturb him.
“No. 3 heat sink.”
The boxing champion observed his twisted body through four crystal eyes suspended in front of him, thinking about the repair plan while saying to Liuli.
Liuli hurriedly found what the boxing champion needed from the spare component box and held it over with both hands.
Looking at the boxing champion's body covered with chainsaw swords and shock swords, as well as the bombardment of arrow-blasting rifles and crystal-magnetic cannons, the scarred and broken body, and the scene of this steel giant blocking him and Hante desperately, the words "Don't be afraid, I will protect you" were still lingering in his ears. Liuli felt a heat in his heart, and he couldn't help but touch the boxing champion's broken body, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master Boxer."
Seeing the girl reaching out her fleshy hand, the boxing champion's crystal eyes quickly contracted, but did not dodge, and just said coldly: "No need to thank me, you know this is just a transaction. I just filtered out a seemingly optimal choice from the database for the purpose of 'becoming stronger'.
"What's more, I'm not a human. Although I can simulate all human emotions, it's just a pile of data. Even if you thank me sincerely, I won't be moved at all."
"Hey, is that true?"
Liuli blushed and said embarrassedly, "But that day, at the top of the 'Da Iron City', when the boxing champion invited us to dinner..."
"That's just a disguise, a simulated character of the 'boxing champion Lei Zonglie'."
The boxing champion said lightly, "If necessary, I can simulate hundreds of different personalities, either extremely calm, savage and violent, insidious, cunning, or impulsive and irritable. Such simulations can help me better integrate into the battlefield environment, which may be conducive to the completion of the goal, but at the same time it will also consume some computing power, slowing down my core database and leading to a certain degree of instability.
"So, since you two already know my true identity, I now need to retrieve all my computing power to think about the maintenance plan, there is no need to maintain personality simulation - this way, my maintenance efficiency can be improved by more than 7%.
In fact, the boxing champion talked to Li Yao last time, but Liuli never understood it: "It's so difficult to understand, that is to say, is the real character of the boxing champion now who is so cold now?"
"There is no 'real character', and there is not even a real 'boxing champion'."
The boxing champion said coldly, "Character, emotion or will are things that only humans have. I am not a human, nor do I have my own consciousness. I am just... a puppet, an item, a machine that moves in a certain direction after being fully wounded. Have you never used a psionic puppet before?"
"Of course I've used it."
Liuli thought for a while and shook her head, "But Lord Boxer is still different from those spiritual puppets. Those things are stupid. Only when they issue specific instructions or ask specific questions will they respond. Sparks will appear and fall into silence at any time."
“Nothing different.”
The boxing champion said expressionlessly, "The reason why those low-level psionic puppets look stupid is that their database and strategy groups to choose from are too poor, and they do not have the ability to learn and upgrade independently.
“My database and policy groups are thousands of times more than theirs, and it seems that I can answer all your questions naturally.
"But in essence, I am no different from those things, they are puppets and machinery. You asked me a question. After calculation and analysis, I chose a seemingly most appropriate message from the database and responded in a voice manner, making our relationship more harmonious so that we can better achieve the purpose of "protecting you". That's all, multi-function wrench, thank you."
Liuli handed over the multi-function wrench, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the boxing champions will say 'thank you'. Didn't you just say 'thank you' meaningless?"
"To me, 'thank you' doesn't mean anything, but to you humans, it's a way to express goodwill."
"I calculated that if I could be more friendly, the efficiency of you two help me sort and screen spare components will also increase, and the probability of making mistakes will decrease - that's why I want to thank you."
Liuli was stunned for a long time and blushed, "No matter what the boxing champion says, we should take a good rest. Do you know that you... are such a good person!"
"Logical error."
The boxing king said, "You know very well that I am not good, nor are you a 'person'. I just want to achieve the goal of constantly becoming stronger and feel that this transaction is profitable, so I choose to protect you.
"If there is another way to make me stronger but want to kill many people, I will choose to kill people without hesitation, including killing you two - in fact, I have killed many, many people, otherwise how can I become the 'boxing champion' Lei Zonglie?"
"but--"
Liuli's face turned red, and a sense of courage came out from somewhere, saying, "At least you won't choose the inhumane torture, right?"
The boxing champion was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."
"That's it."
Liuli said, "Hant and I grew up in a desolate world. We have also seen countless bandits in the bloody world. Many of them are perverts, madmen, and demons! Kill the baby who has not been weaned, peeled off the human skin and watched the bloody people dance, throw the person into the group of radiation mutant beasts and bite him to death, hang the person upside down and exposed to the sun for several days before he was sun and starved to death... I don't know how many things I have seen and how many I have heard of, will the boxing champion do such things?"
"Won't."
The boxing champion shook his head and said, "If I want to kill, I will definitely take the most efficient and fastest method. I can't understand the practice of torture a person for three days and three nights, and torture him to death slowly. This is not only a waste of his time and energy, but also increases the possibility of the other party's escape. It is really... meaningless."
"So it!"
Liuli smiled, "In a place like the Nei Land, people like the boxing king can already be considered good people, just like my father and Yao Lao."
The boxing champion was silent for a long time, focused on adjusting his joints and power talisman array, and only after five minutes said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Liuli and Hante looked at each other: "Are we afraid of you?"
"I don't know, but there were some humans who were afraid of us, fearing artificial intelligence like us."
The King of Boxing said, "You know, I once got an underground shelter or library of Wuying civilization, which retained countless materials on Wuying civilization, including some of their entertainment and art works.
"It's strange that the Wuying civilization at that time was facing various threats, which could be said to be constant internal and external troubles, but in many entertainment and art works, the future enemies were pointed at artificial intelligence.
"For some reason, some Wuying people seem to be afraid of self-learning and upgraded artificial intelligence, and even believe that one day artificial intelligence will destroy their world.
"But, in the end, it was the humans who destroyed Wuying's civilization.
"I don't know whether humans should be afraid of artificial intelligence, but if 'fear' can be defined as being vigilant against unknown dangers, then maybe I'm more afraid of you humans."
Liuli and Hante widened their eyes: "You, are you afraid of us?"
"Yes, I'm afraid of you."
The boxing champion said seriously, "A part of you is terrible."
Liuli tilted her head and thought for a long time, but didn't know how to explain or comfort her. She suddenly took out a metal can in her arms that she regarded as life, grabbed a handful of golden seeds, and handed them over.
"This is the golden barley seed."
The little girl smiled brightly on her face and said innocently, "I have thought that the evil land is so big, and with my own strength, I will definitely not be able to plant the whole world in the whole world. So I decided that from now on, if I can meet a real good person, I will give him a handful of golden barley seeds and let him help me.
"Sir, you are willing to help me. In the future, when you go to a very far place, you can help me sprinkle a handful of golden barley seeds when you encounter the right soil!"
The boxing champion's crystal eyes solidified for a long time, stretched out his metal arm dryly, took the golden barley seeds, looked in front of him for a long time, and put them in the storage space deep in his chest.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
It said in a low voice, its voice was no longer cold, but it was accompanied by ambition and anger that looked down on the world.
"Why?"
Liuli blinked quickly and said in surprise, "The Boxer King has become the way he invited us to dinner that day. Didn't you say that simulating such a personality will consume a lot of computing power?"
“…If this makes you feel a little more comfortable, it won’t be much.”
The boxing champion said in a depressed manner, "After all, I have played the role of Lei Zonglie, 'boxing champion' for more than ten years, and I am used to it."
"Very good."
The little girl cheered, "If I could always get used to it, maybe one day the boxing champion could become a real human being!"
"Humans are too complicated. I'm afraid I will never be able to upgrade to yours, right?"
