66: Second-generation super artificial intelligence

Xijiang.

Inside the courtyard of the Starry Sky Posthouse.

He Ming lay on a bamboo rocking chair, looking relaxed as he cultivated with his eyes closed.

The energy within his body flowed slowly like a vast stellar river, absorbing and releasing the purest stellar energy between each breath.

Just then, jarvis's voice sounded in his ear.

"Sir, the experiment for the [Space-based Orbital High-Energy Laser System] has succeeded."

He Ming opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"Very good. This Sword of Damocles is finally ready to launch."

He Ming promoted the construction of the space-based system not to deal with the Hai Star fleet—that level was too low and wouldn't be very effective.

He had asked the notebook; once Dragon Country mastered infinite energy, it would immediately trigger the Third World War before it could even be utilized, leading to everyone losing when the table was completely flipped during the mid-stage of the hot war.

The existence of the [Space-based Orbital High-Energy Laser System] was meant to deter all major powers outside of Dragon Country.

Want to flip the table?

In front of this Sword of Damocles, you will have your hand chopped off the very next second after you even reach under the table.

"There's no need to hide anymore. Let's officially start accelerating."

"jarvis, activate Baize."

"Yes, Sir, Baize has been activated."

He Ming raised his hand and looked at his smart bracelet; a new function had appeared at the very top of the vital sign data.

[life index: 32557]

"Baize."

"I am here, Master."

The smart bracelet flashed, and a virtual image of a stunning older sister with antlers on her head, delicate features, a fiery figure, and rather generous clothing appeared before He Ming.

This was the second type of super AI He Ming had copied from the notebook.

Although its level was higher than jarvis, its function was very singular, only providing assistance in martial combat.

Overall, it was equivalent to a super AI that provided nanny-level service to He Ming regarding cultivation.

In addition, it contained hundreds of the Great Universe's most advanced combat techniques and cultivation manuals. It was no exaggeration to say that Baize was the most comprehensive encyclopedia on combat in the entire universe.

"To truly let loose, I still need the final piece of the puzzle."

He Ming's gaze looked toward the direction of the Ailao Mountains, where the supreme treasure that could enhance destiny was hidden—the [imperial seal of china].

To enter the Ailao Mountains unscathed and bring out the imperial seal of china, he needed at least 45,000 life index points.

He Ming had asked the notebook about the imperial seal of china; it was a very mystical supreme treasure. The base bonus was threefold, but as faith increased, the cultivation speed would also increase, virtually without limit.

"I'm only short about ten thousand points. It will be soon."

He Ming lightly touched his smart bracelet, and Baize's virtual projection disappeared.

"jarvis, where are Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Zhifei?"

"Sir, they are already in Xijiang and will arrive at the Starry Sky Posthouse within thirty minutes."

On a road in the Gobi Desert, a black commercial vehicle was driving smoothly.

Inside the vehicle.

"Brother, are you also a player who received an invitation?"

Zhang Zhifei really needed to speak up; the atmosphere in the car was too oppressive.

The driver was mute, and the person sitting directly opposite him had a poker face, only answering with one or two words, making him only slightly better than the mute driver.

"Mhm."

Bai Xiaofei sat quietly, holding his phone and browsing the parameter information about mechs on the Star Sea official website.

This information might be useless to others, but for him, it was a nanny-level guide for modifying mechs.

Zhang Zhifei leaned over for a look and immediately felt a headache.

"What's the use of this stuff?"

Bai Xiaofei looked at Zhang Zhifei with some surprise.

"Don't you read these guides?"

"No, it gives me a headache. I've studied enough in school; I don't want to waste brain cells on a game."

Bai Xiaofei shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

After a while, Zhang Zhifei's mouth started itching again.

"Brother, why do you think Star Sea invited us to Xijiang? What kind of event needs to be so secretive?"

"I don't know."

"Sigh, if I can pass the test, I definitely want to ask the organizer for a seraph unit. It's so damn cool."

Speaking of mechs, Bai Xiaofei's interest piqued slightly.

"A seraph?"

"Yeah."

"The seraph has a total of 80 funnel units, 15 thrusters, and 9 different specifications of weapons."

Bai Xiaofei paused, looked at Zhang Zhifei's face, and asked again, slightly doubtfully: "Are you sure you can handle operating it?"

Zhang Zhifei was immediately speechless; it would be a ghost if he could handle operating that.

Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Zhifei were the two most suitable candidates for high-end combat power selected by He Ming through the notebook.

Given equal strength, Bai Xiaofei's neural reaction speed, physical control, combat intuition, and psychological quality had already reached the limit for Blue Star humans.

Zhang Zhifei's talent was not top-notch, but he possessed extremely terrifying learning ability and growth potential in adversity. The more stressful the environment, the more astonishing potential he could unleash.

Of course, a bonus point was that he valued loyalty and never betrayed his friends.

Otherwise, there were many candidates more suitable than Zhang Zhifei, and it wouldn't have been his turn at all.

Although he possessed extremely high potential, time was not on his side.

The commercial vehicle stopped in front of the Starry Sky Posthouse gate. Zhang Zhifei was the first to jump out, curiously observing the surrounding environment.

"Holy crap, it's still near a construction site. Could this be the Starport that Star Sea and Bais Technology are planning to build?"

Bai Xiaofei got out of the car with him, looking curiously into the distance.

"Gentlemen, please come inside."

At the entrance, a man with a poker face wearing a Star Sea uniform waved his hand, signaling the two to enter the hall.

Zhang Zhifei's expression was strange; he felt that the person in front of him was somewhat abnormal.

Driven by curiosity, he leaned closer and waved his hand in front of the man's eyes, but there was no reaction.

He boldly reached out toward the man's eyeball. The icy cold touch confirmed to Zhang Zhifei that it was actually a robot.

"Hey, it's a smart robot."

Guided by the smart robot, the two entered the door. What greeted them was a futuristic hall that seemed somewhat out of place with the outdoor style, looking like it had only recently been renovated.

He Ming was facing the two of them, holding a cup of tea with a smile on his face.

"Yo, brother, are you also here for the test?"

Zhang Zhifei's eyes lit up, and he jogged over, sitting down next to He Ming with easy familiarity.

He Ming nodded.

"That's right."

"Looks like we're both lucky guys!"

He Ming: "Indeed, extremely lucky."

"By the way, brother, what's your game ID? Maybe we've matched up in the game before."

"I'm a master ranked in the top five hundred of the ladder. I can carry you sometime."

Bai Xiaofei expressionlessly walked over and sat down directly opposite He Ming, quietly listening to their conversation.

"Ming."

"Ming?"

Zhang Zhifei subconsciously repeated the name, feeling like the ID sounded somewhat familiar.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei, sitting opposite, shot up in surprise, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, making him look awkward and almost ferocious.

If Bai Xiaofei's die-hard fans saw this expression, they would certainly understand the meaning: it was the look he displayed when he was utterly shocked internally.
