Chapter 220 NO.00db: Thought Box

Being dumped by the two-dimensional girlfriend he created, Jiang Zhou did not have any expectations for Chen Wang's so-called "battle-hardened". This is an old and cruel fact - the love experience accumulated through galgame has no guiding value for real love.

Besides, he doesn't even have a body that can act in the base reality. In essence, he is just a cyber ghost with a digital personality uploaded, and there is really no material basis for this operation.

Now it's better to talk about some more realistic issues.

"So, are you going to die now, or do you plan to live a little longer?"

Jiang Zhou carefully considered his words and finally asked.

This was something that had been agreed upon long ago - as a reward for Chen Wang's help in building a substitute program with the goddess of the underworld Hecate, after the matter was completed, he would help him delete all the data of the digital personality so that the other party could rest completely.

Normally, Jiang Zhou should have sent the other party on his way. But after the "Battle of the Broken Dome", there is still a series of work to be arranged for the underground reconstruction of the Nord resettlement area, plus the renovation of various program systems in the "City of Sages"... Jiang Zhou has been busy until now, and finally made time until the eve of floating back to Tartarus.

Of course, on the other hand, from a selfish point of view, Jiang Zhou is actually not willing to completely delete this "Pygmalion" path, the adjuster who has adjusted to depth 4.

After all, as long as he has a "sculptor" like the other party who can reconstruct the stand-in program, then relying on the special Janus program, unless someone can kill himself and the stand-in program of the controllable element at the same time, otherwise he will have two lives in the Abyss Dark Web.

In addition, Jiang Zhou actually thinks that Chen Wang is also quite interesting-although he is a bit more two-dimensional. But in the "City of Sages", except for him. Only Ye Qian, who was tortured in the Massacre Museum, and several digital personalities who were imprisoned and mentally ill, but did not choose to commit suicide, still exist.

It's not easy to find someone who can speak normally.

Of course, if the other party insists on dying, Jiang Zhou will naturally respect the other party's free will.

After all, this is what he promised.

"But I refuse." (The answer after automatic translation, the original words are だがbreakる)

As for Jiang Zhou's question, the hammer floating in the air suddenly tilted its hammer head towards him in a very artificial way, and then answered like this.

For some reason, there is a sense of excitement in this sentence that "I have wanted to try this for a long time."

The serious expression on his face froze instantly, and Jiang Zhou did not take this joke. He asked expressionlessly:

"Do you mean refuse to live or refuse to die?"

While speaking, he had already called up the operation interface and hovered his finger on the "Delete" option.

"Of course I refuse to die!"

At this point, not only the hammer, but also the chisel on the side flew up-Chen Wang shouted loudly as if protesting.

Jiang Zhou's face showed an expression of "as expected".

"That's fine, can I ask the reason?"

Jiang Zhou waved his hand to cancel the operating system.

The other party continued to maintain the previous momentum and answered:

"After so many things have happened, do you think I will be willing to die now? You know, that is the goddess of the moon! From the ultra-abyss layer, the powerful AI that once caused the "lunar eclipse incident"! Of course, this is not the key. The key is that she is still a goddess who wants to gain feelings. Now she said that she wants to understand what love is, you don't..."

"I want to understand what love is."

Jiang Zhou corrected.

But the other party was in high spirits and had no intention of stopping.

"These details are not important... In short, the body shape of Ms. Hecate walking in the base reality today was modeled by me. So rounding off, the goddess walking in the world now can be regarded as my work..."

It is my own work after changing the shell. Is this how rounding is used?

Jiang Zhou thought, and then he continued:

"So what is your final plan?"

Jiang Zhou didn't know why he could see the mysterious expression on the hammer and chisel, but at this moment Chen Wang said mysteriously:

"Haven't you heard of the story of one's own work falling in love with the creator?"

This question made Jiang Zhou's mind flash back to some bad fan creations he had seen before, so he answered with a straight face:

"Are you talking about "Pinocchio"?

"Of course I'm talking about Pygmalion and Galatea!"

Pygmalion and Galatea, the origin of the name of Chen Wang's upgrade path - the king obsessed with sculpture, and his sculpture wife who gained life from his hands.

But didn't the paper wife you made before dump you?

Jiang Zhou resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and then said:

"It's up to you. Let's not talk about how likely it is that you can pursue Hecate, but it's always a good thing to have a dream... In short, you don't plan to die, right?"

"Because I firmly believe that the most perfect love will definitely happen to me."

Chen Wang answered seriously.

Who asked you this?

Jiang Zhou shook his head, then called up the operation interface again and pressed a few times.

"Since you choose to continue living and hope to stay here, please sign this."

He described the core needs and asked the AI ​​of the central system of "City of Sages" to generate a user agreement. After carefully checking and modifying it for a long time, it was sent to the other party.

Agreeing to this user agreement requires the verification of the "Mandala" password, and once passed, it has a mandatory effect.

No matter how funny he looks like, Chen Wang is a depth 4 adjuster after all. If he wants to stay here, Jiang Zhou will naturally have to impose some restrictions.

Apart from anything else, after all, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back next time. What if when he comes back, the computing power of the entire "City of Sages" is used to generate a two-dimensional beautiful girl AI with very little fabric, and it becomes some kind of strange theme park?

Will it be like this if Jiang Zhou can't hold it.

He even imagined that in the future he would come back as "Paradox" and pull Booker, Christie, Perseus No. 1 and others back to the "City of Sages" to arrange trials. Then, in front of those people, a bunch of lolita girls in sailor suits surrounded him and kept calling him "Ouni-chan".

Sure enough, it would be safer to kill him...

Unconsciously, Jiang Zhou had the urge to kill him.

"There is nothing wrong with the content of the agreement, but I think..."

On the other hand, after reading the user agreement carefully, Chen Wang's tone of voice became a little hesitant. It was as if some of the clauses in it made him feel very embarrassed.

Well, kill him.

Jiang Zhou thought.

"This is a little different from what I imagined...Do you really want me to stay here like this?"

Chen Wang asked.

"Huh?"

Jiang Zhou was stunned.

"Where else can you go if you don't stay here?"

He asked.

In the special place of Narcissus Plain, the other party's digital personality can still exist without following the JZ network protocol and relying on the server of "City of Sages". But once he leaves here, unless he has the blessing of "Hecate" to know the path, he will become a wanderer exposed to the dangerous abyss dark web and will never find his way back.

The question is, will Hecate be willing to bless such a person who wants to seduce her?

Jiang Zhou felt that instead of asking her this, it would be better to give Chen Wang a quick death.

"Ah? I thought I was going to float back to the base reality with you."

Chen Wang was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then replied.

That's even more impossible, his body in the base reality has long been gone.

As for printing a body - Jiang Zhou himself was able to print an extra body at the time, which was the body data retained by "Janus". Want to make a body for Chen Wang again, or to put it another way, want to accurately print trillions of neural synapses in a space the size of a human skull, and ensure that his mind will not be deformed after being imported...

Jiang Zhou estimated that even an AI of Hecate's level could not do this kind of thing - otherwise she would not want to use her own body for incarnation.

So, how does he plan to return to the base reality?

Jiang Zhou explained his doubts in this way.

"Oh... you seem to have forgotten it again."

Chen Wang - or the hammer and chisel - replied:

"The special feature of Pygmalion's path is the Descartes Theater. I can control all kinds of strange bodies outside from inside the theater.

"So, I don't need a body that matches my digital personality to return to the base reality. I just need a portable computer with strong enough computing power, and then install various sensors on it. This kind of transformation is very common in this upgrade path. We call this thing...

"Thought box."
