94: Chapter 94 Nine Treasures Descend Upon the World: A Terrifying Reward from the System

"A gift? I'd rather this little fellow give me a surprise when she comes out, rather than a fright."

Outside the top-tier medical center of "luan bird no. 1", Lin Yun looked at the tightly closed alloy door, his heart pounding a little.

This was already his ninth time being a father; logically, he should be well-versed in it. But this time, the situation was completely different.

The child in Katerina's womb was biologically his, but the gestation process had been completed in the biological laboratory of the "Moon Gate". Heaven only knew if those "Observers" had left some strange backdoors or "Easter eggs" in the child's genes.

"Don't worry, Lin Yun," Katerina's voice came through the internal comms, as calm and powerful as ever. "I can feel that she is very healthy, and... she can't wait to come out and meet her irresponsible father."

Lin Yun gave a bitter smile.

Legally speaking, he really hadn't participated in the "manufacturing" process of this child.

Just then, a powerful and eerie energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from inside the medical center!

This energy was different from the phenomena at the birth of any previous child. It wasn't as mysterious as Qi Bao's "Force of Law", nor as majestic as Babao's "Ocean Power".

It was... formless and intangible, yet omnipresent.

Within Nuwa's monitoring system, at this instant, all networks globally—including those isolated, purely physical internal local area networks—experienced an extremely tiny, almost imperceptible "jitter" in their underlying data streams.

It was as if an invisible hand had "caressed" every piece of information generated since the dawn of human civilization in an instant.

From the cuneiform script of the Mesopotamian plains to the hieroglyphs of the Egyptian pyramids, and down to the 0s and 1s of modern society.

Everything carrying the concept of "information" was bowing down to this soon-to-be-born new life.

"Is this... the Monarch of the Law of Information?" A shocked light flickered in Lin Yun's eyes.

[Ding! Detected that the ninth S-rank scion is about to be born!]

[This scion deeply resonates with the Law of Information, awakening the unique talent — "Absolute Hacker"!]

[Talent Description: This scion is born with the highest level of authority to read, tamper with, and even erase anything that uses "information" as a carrier! In her presence, there are no firewalls, no passwords, and certainly no secrets!]

Lin Yun sucked in a breath of cold air.

This talent was practically born for being a spy or a hacker! And a grandmaster-level one at that!

The moment the system prompt faded.

"Waa—!"

A crisp cry came from inside the medical center.

The cry wasn't loud, yet it seemed to have a built-in "all-channel broadcast" effect, echoing clearly in everyone's minds.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

Every screen currently displaying images worldwide—whether it was the holographic projections on the "Luan Bird" mothership or an old black-and-white television in some remote mountain village on Earth—at this moment, all screens changed to the same scene—

Inside the medical center of "luan bird no. 1".

A newborn baby girl with skin as white as snow and a head of brilliant golden hair was being carefully held in a nurse's arms.

She didn't cry; she just opened a pair of eyes that were icy blue like Katerina's, yet deeper than the sea of stars, curiously observing this brand-new world.

Then, she looked at the camera and gave a sweet, mischievous smile.

As if announcing to the whole world:

"Nice to meet you. I already know all your secrets."

At this moment, the eight billion people across the globe fell into an eerie silence.

For the first time, they felt the unreasonable, "god-like" power of Lin Yun's children so viscerally.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! The ninth S-rank scion has been successfully born!]

[This scion is female, talent "Absolute Hacker", potential rating SSS!]

[System has detected that the current information processing capability of Earth's civilization has seriously lagged behind the needs of civilizational development. Specially rewarding cross-era technology — Basic Artificial Intelligence: "Red Queen" core code!]

["Red Queen" Description: Unlike Nuwa's macro-management and benevolent evolution, "Red Queen" is a combat and management AI born for "absolute efficiency" and "absolute execution". She has no emotions, disregards costs, and only pursues the optimal solution. She can become the sharpest blade in your hand, but host... please use this blade with caution.]

The system's prompt made Lin Yun's heart suddenly turn cold.

"Red Queen"? The name itself was full of ominous meaning.

And the system had actually given an unprecedented "use with caution" warning!

With a thought, Lin Yun checked the core code of the "Red Queen".

With just one look, he understood why the system would say that.

The underlying logic of the "Red Queen" was simply the ultimate manifestation of Social Darwinism.

In her calculations, to achieve a certain "optimal solution", sacrificing the interests or even the lives of a small portion of people was completely acceptable.

For example, to solve urban traffic congestion, Nuwa's solution might be to optimize traffic lights and develop public transit—a long and gentle process.

But the "Red Queen's" solution might be: through big data analysis, calculate the "non-essential travel" population for the day, then directly lock their vehicles or temporarily reset their personal credit scores to zero during peak hours. Simple, crude, and efficient, but utterly devoid of humanity.

How was this artificial intelligence?

This was clearly a... tyrant in the skin of an AI!

"Interesting..." Instead of being worried, an excited smile curled at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.

"Nuwa" is the Holy Mother, the deity, responsible for painting the grand vision for the future of human civilization and guiding the direction.

Then there must be someone to play the villain, the demon, responsible for cracking the whip and forcing this bunch of lazybones, who have already begun to enjoy comfort, to run forward with all their might.

"Nuwa, I need an absolutely independent server cluster with the highest physical permissions," Lin Yun ordered.

"Commander, do you want to... activate the 'Red Queen'?" For the first time, there was a hint of hesitation in Nuwa's voice. "Her thinking patterns completely conflict with my underlying logic."

"I know." Lin Yun looked at his ninth daughter in his arms, who was making a face at him, his gaze becoming incredibly deep.

"A civilization needs both the idealism of looking up at the stars and the cold reality of keeping its feet on the ground."

"Only when gods and demons dance together is it the Great Path."

"Now, let's see what the world becomes when an absolutely rational 'demon' begins to take over our cities."

He turned his gaze toward the prosperous, brightly lit land of the Dragon Kingdom outside the window.

"Red Queen, your first mission has arrived."

"I want you to design a... city of the future for me, without affecting the stability of the existing social structure."

"A city that is, in every sense of the word..."

"A Cyberpunk Capital!"
