Chapter 383 The First "Friend"

The man at the head of the group skillfully introduced the structure and function of the steam engine to the students. Accompanied by the sound of the machine operating and the students' exclamations of amazement, this "audio teaching" left a deep impression on Cheng Zhu.

If Future Star can have this kind of teaching method, why worry about children not having an interest in learning?

Considering the overall technological level of "Normal Future," Cheng Zhu didn't know what Future Star's comments were thinking, but it was meaningless. She did indeed yearn for such a peaceful and carefree world.

Could it be that the unspeakable intention was to make the people of the future planet feel the preciousness of peace?

Is He a good person?

Cheng Zhu secretly shook his head, denying his own idea—any living being has its own purpose in doing something, and the possibility of suddenly having a whim to do good deeds is very low.

Humans don't need to gamble on a tiny possibility and lose their vigilance.

Moreover, the existence of the forbidden zone has indeed caused harm to the life forms of Future Star. If he is truly a "good person" who is willing to sacrifice a few to save the many, are those few who are sacrificed really willing to sacrifice themselves?

Cheng Zhu didn't know what others thought, but if this happened to her, she certainly wouldn't be willing to "sacrifice" herself for the sake of someone else's good reputation.

Compared to Future Star's traditional education, the biggest advantage of the learning space in the instance is that it can constantly stimulate students' senses in different ways. Whether it is a customized environment or a customized teacher, whether it is an experimental simulation or a scene simulation, it can firmly capture the attention of Chengzhu who is new to the place.

This made her feel a sense of contradiction.

A subtle sense of unease flashed by, but Chengzhu didn't immediately grasp it. She mainly focused on her studies and spent a long time in the study space, basically figuring out the learning progress of the university she was about to take the exam for.

After the class ended, Chengzhu watched as the teacher disappeared from the learning space, and instead connected to the internet to access the rules on the official website.

In the early stages of the game, there are two main rules that affect the Chosen Ones: one is called the "Smart City Artificial Intelligence and Human Harmonious Coexistence Convention," and the other is called the "Suburban Immigrants Entering the City: Notice." The former is about the constraints between humans and artificial intelligence, while the latter is about the constraints between city dwellers and immigrants from outside the city, as well as some precautions and personal benefits for suburban immigrants after entering the city, including the trial version of artificial intelligence that Cheng Zhu currently possesses, as well as free accommodation and a public kitchen.

Both have explicit rules, but the chosen ones need to search online to find out, rather than having them directly posted on their faces. As a result, many people initially violated the rules and had to waste a chance to be reborn.

[The Smart City Artificial Intelligence and Human Harmony Coexistence Convention]

[Because the strange rules pose a great threat to humanity, in order to ensure the future of human society, artificial intelligence will take over the subsequent construction and planning of the entire city. We hope that all human citizens will understand and accept this, and voluntarily abide by the following regulations.]

1. Humans must not threaten or harm artificial intelligence.

2. Humans must not damage or tamper with any systems or equipment managed by artificial intelligence, nor may they use artificial intelligence to obtain improper benefits or resources. If discovered by artificial intelligence, they will be severely punished.

3. When communicating with artificial intelligence, avoid using metaphors, hints, or rhetorical questions, as this may hinder your communication with the AI.

4. When artificial intelligence enacts new laws and regulations, you must not evade or resist any commands from it. For your own safety, please obediently comply with the new rules.

5. New rules always take precedence over old rules.

6. It is forbidden to steal, rob, or defraud any material wealth, to damage urban facilities or public property, or to engage in any illegal activities.

7. Discrimination against any human being, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, or origin, is strictly prohibited. Any violation detected by artificial intelligence will be severely punished.

8. No artificial intelligence may be hindered or obstructed from performing its tasks or work, nor may any research or development that may harm artificial intelligence or humanity be conducted. Any violation will result in immediate punishment.

The rules explicitly mention penalties only for the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth rules. As for the third rule, because it was considered too insignificant, Cheng Zhu initially forgot about it until she said "more real than pearls," which made Ya suspicious, and then she remembered its existence.

And Article 5...

As time progresses in the instance, the Chosen Ones will encounter a world undergoing drastic changes, and artificial intelligence will begin to continuously add new rules.

Chengzhu initially thought that all of this was an unspeakable, pre-set plot, until Yinzhu told her that "they were all once living beings." Only then did Chengzhu realize that while the dungeons might indeed have fixed variations, the AI's reactions were merely influenced by the environment and automatically performed optimal solution algorithms.

Is it possible for me to prevent the world from changing in the first place?

Just like a certain bamboo, Chengzhu is also a guy who acts decisively once he has a goal. He immediately started thinking about whether he could summarize the characteristics of world collapse from the live broadcasts he watched when he was still on Future Star.

However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

Cheng Zhu watched several live streams from different countries, and without exception, problems started appearing after three days. In some, the crispy treats made by the machine in a public kitchen turned into a bowl of wriggling worms; in others, intermittent human silhouettes began appearing on the streets, passing right past the chosen one, seemingly oblivious to their presence; in still others, human heads appeared on trees outside the window, whistling at the chosen one; and in one instance, an acquaintance suddenly split in two, yet remained oblivious, greeting the chosen one…
