120: Intermediate AI Xiao Jiu

Qin Yang immediately clicked to exchange. In an instant, 100 billion RMB was deducted from his system account. Then, the familiar scene appeared: a pale blue light curtain flickered into existence and immediately vanished.

After the light curtain disappeared, an exquisite item resembling a USB flash drive appeared on Qin Yang's desk.

Qin Yang picked it up and examined it. Seeing it had a USB interface, he thought for a moment, opened the laptop on his desk, and plugged it in.

As soon as the device was plugged in, the computer immediately seemed to have been infected by a virus, with countless garbled characters appearing uncontrollably.

Qin Yang frowned slightly but did not interfere, continuing to wait.

Fortunately, after only about half a minute, the laptop returned to normal. Then, a voice rang out from the laptop's speakers.

"Are you my master? Serial number 009, Intermediate Artificial Intelligence, greets you, Master!"

Hearing a voice exactly like the one he had heard when he first met white emperor, a smile appeared on Qin Yang's face.

Qin Yang replied, "Yes, I am your master. My name is Qin Yang. Hello, 009! However, the name 009 doesn't sound very good. I'll call you Xiao Jiu from now on. Also, change your voice to a soft and sweet one."

"Alright, Master. Thank you for the new name, Master. The name Xiao Jiu is very pleasant; I like it very much!" Hearing this, 009 immediately switched to the soft and sweet voice of a young girl and replied to Qin Yang.

"As long as you like it. Xiao Jiu, you can introduce your functions now," Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Alright, Master. Xiao Jiu is an Intermediate Artificial Intelligence created by a Level 2 Civilization. My processing speed is ten times that of all the computers on this planet combined. Although Xiao Jiu is not yet a lifeform, I already possess primary intelligence and can think independently."

"Intermediate Artificial Intelligences like Xiao Jiu were developed for the purpose of serving humanity."

"Currently, I possess powerful information processing, analysis, and execution capabilities. I can be attached to multiple terminals—such as smart homes, computers, mobile phones, and factory information centers—demonstrating broad versatility and multi-functionality."

"I can also be used as the most powerful firewall at this stage. With my protection, no one can harm your interests through the network."

"Then can you hack into other people's networks?" Qin Yang asked in return.

"I'm sorry, Master. When I was first designed, I was categorized as a defensive artificial intelligence. I am not allowed to use my abilities to infringe upon any human interests on the network. Once I am forced to do so, I will be forcibly erased by my core code!" Xiao Jiu spoke truthfully.

Hearing that Xiao Jiu could not infringe upon others' networks at will, Qin Yang sighed. He had thought Xiao Jiu would be omnipotent in the current network. If that were the case, he would essentially possess a cyber nuclear bomb. Although this kind of nuclear bomb couldn't directly cause fatal harm to people, in this era, controlling the opponent's network basically meant cutting off the enemy's hope of victory. Modern weapons and equipment—which one could function without network assistance? Even finance and other industries would have become his private domain. However, this was just Qin Yang's wishful thinking. On second thought, if an Intermediate Artificial Intelligence had no constraints, it would likely cause unimaginable consequences.

Ending his idle thoughts, Qin Yang was still very satisfied with Xiao Jiu.

After all, although Xiao Jiu could not take the initiative to attack, with her in charge, any sensitive developments on the network would not escape her notice in the future. With this point alone, Qin Yang was already invincible in terms of information.

Thinking that Xiao Jiu could attach herself to mobile terminals like phones and smartwatches, Qin Yang had her attach herself to his own phone via the network to facilitate communication. He also wrote a list for Xiao Jiu, which contained the leaders of the Death Warriors in various locations. He had Xiao Jiu attach herself to the phones of these leaders as well. In the future, if anything happened, Xiao Jiu could be the first to relay it to Qin Yang and could also provide some assistance to these leaders.

As for Xiao Jiu's physical form—the object resembling a USB drive—Qin Yang notified Zhao Zhi and asked him to build a large-scale information processing center for Xiao Jiu to maximize her functions... In Northern Myanmar, after receiving Qin Yang's instructions, Xin Yang took action immediately.

The drug plantations of the Four Great Families were the first issue to be dealt with.

According to intelligence, the armed forces stationed by the Four Great Families near the drug plantations were only the size of a single company. Therefore, taking these plantations was very easy for the now powerful and well-equipped Death Warrior forces. Sending a single squad of Death Warriors would suffice. However, to suppress those stubborn locals, Xin Yang sent a company of troops to each plantation and issued a death order: all drug plants were to be destroyed. Anyone who resisted was to be killed without mercy. As for the civilians who relied on drugs for survival, they were warned that they were only allowed to grow crops in the future. If they did not listen, they would be treated as drug traffickers and killed as well!

Harsh laws for chaotic times. In a chaotic region like Northern Myanmar, reasoning is useless. Only force can make people afraid and obedient. If you are even slightly weak, others will treat you as a soft target and test your bottom line step by step. Xin Yang naturally would not let this happen.

After the troops dealing with the plantations set off, Xin Yang was about to contact Li Long when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Xin Yang, Minister of the Northern Myanmar Branch and Second-level Death Soldier. I am the Intermediate Artificial Intelligence Xiao Jiu, sent specifically by Master Qin Yang to assist you. I am very glad to meet you."

Hearing the soft and sweet voice from his phone, Xin Yang was stunned for a moment, but he regained his composure instantly. Since this was an assistant arranged by the Boss, there must be a reason for it. Xin Yang accepted it unconditionally.

At the same time, a data clone of Xiao Jiu entered the smart devices of all the high-level Death Warriors under Qin Yang's command. However, because it was arranged by Qin Yang, it did not cause any stir.

After getting acquainted with Xiao Jiu, Xin Yang had Xiao Jiu dial Li Long's number.

Both were Death Warriors. Although they did not know each other, there was no need for formalities. Xin Yang directly told Li Long about Qin Yang's thoughts.

Li Long thought for a moment and said, "That works. Because several videos have gone viral recently, I've accumulated a certain number of fans, and there have indeed been a few people seeking help in this regard. However, I didn't pay attention to them. Since the Boss has spoken, I'll go contact them. Wait for my news."

"Alright!" Xin Yang replied.

After Li Long hung up the phone, he called over his operations manager.

"A few days ago, weren't there several fans asking us to help rescue their relatives who were tricked into the Scam Parks in Northern Myanmar?" Li Long asked.

The operations manager was an external hire and didn't quite understand Li Long's meaning, but he still replied, "Yes, Long-ge, but they were just desperate and asking anyone for help. You don't need to pay them any mind."
