A 4x4 grid of sixteen squares appeared on the electronic door screen, with different patterns on each square.

After the electronic door lets Jian Zhizhen memorize the pattern, she clicks "start," and the cards flip over, allowing her to use her memory to find pairs of identical patterns to eliminate them.

Jian Zhizhen spent two seconds reading the rules and noting down her location before clicking "Start".

Then, without stopping, he flipped over all the cards, quickly and accurately.

The electronic screen then lit up a circle of lights around her, rewarding her with 10,000 coins.

The smart guy next to him was even more desperate: "You...you guys are all so talented! It took me three days to memorize these sixteen patterns. I'm impressed...ahhh, I've become the third smartest person in the city! Waaaaah, I'm going home to cry for a while..."

After saying that, she covered her head and ran away crying.

Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai exchanged a glance, both finding it hard to believe.

How did he become the smartest person in the city?

The audience had been waiting for a plot twist, but none of it came, leaving everyone feeling incredulous.

[Parrot and Mango Tree: I thought there would be a twist, so I didn't dare post any comments for fear of being proven wrong... but there wasn't? Are they serious? Are they really using this kind of question to test intelligence? I could do that too...]

[Xiang: Remember that time Zhenzhen and Li Nanyan had a card-flipping competition? Zhenzhen glanced at the cards and memorized their positions. This sixteen-card match-3 game was an insult to her intelligence... And the logic puzzle Qin Shen got was pretty insulting too.]

[The deaf girl: I thought that if we said the intelligence of people here had regressed, at least it meant the intelligence of an average person, right? But now it seems... this is almost at the level of intellectual disability.]

[Hu Ning: Sigh, those who researched these technologies in the past must have had extremely high IQs, but their descendants only need to enjoy these technologies. Then, technological progress stops, and humanity becomes increasingly dependent on technology, leading to the degeneration of both physical and intellectual abilities.]

Jian Zhizhen checked the account balance to confirm that they had indeed received the bonus.

You have to believe it whether you want to or not.

"I think we can invite all the guests over tomorrow to make some easy money. Everyone should be able to solve these brain teasers. It's a quick and easy way to make money."

Qin Yubai nodded.

In other words, the machine states that each person can only take the test once a day.

Otherwise, this group of people could become the richest people in the world just by answering questions every day.

Having earned the money and completed her task for the day, Jian Zhizhen planned to go back to find her brother.

Just as she was about to leave with Qin Yubai, she suddenly heard Guixu speak: "Master, you only spent half a minute to complete today's task. The rest of the time must be very boring, right? I recommend watching a movie. After watching the movie, you can go to a steakhouse for dinner."

Jian Zhizhen said, "No need. Just call me a car. I want to go back."

Gui Xu said, "Master, please act according to my recommendation. The best thing for you to do now is to go on a date with the man next to you, go to the movies and have steak. This is the result of my accurate judgment based on big data, and it will never be wrong. Please do not disobey my advice."

Since we're currently live streaming, Jian Zhizhen wants to broaden the audience's horizons and showcase the advanced technology of this time and space, so the equipment has been playing music from the outside.

After hearing these words, Qin Yubai told Jian Zhizhen, "My AI gave me the same advice, telling me to go on a date with you."

Jian Zhizhen scoffed, "Laughable. AI thinks it can get above me? I'm going back."

After saying that, she took Qin Yubai's hand and was about to leave.

Anyway, it's not far from the base. Even if Guixu doesn't help them get a taxi, it won't take them long to walk back.

Just as the two reached the roadside, dozens of cars suddenly drove up and blocked their way, making it impossible for them to find a way around.

Jian Zhizhen sensed something was wrong... How did they all come over all at once?

She walked to the nearest car and knocked on the window: "Sir, why are you here?"

The man in the car stuffed a handful of potato chips into his mouth, looked at Jian Zhizhen with a blank expression, and slowly replied, "The car brought me here, so I came."

Chien Chih-chen then asked, "Why did you come here just because it brought you here? Don't you have anything else to do?"

The man looked blank: "All I have to do is get in the car and the car will take me there."

There was absolutely no way to communicate.

Qin Yubai also asked a few people nearby, and almost all of them said the same thing.

They had no idea why the car had driven itself here, and they didn't question or resist it!

Qin Yubai sighed, "No wonder the people here have such low intelligence levels. They rely on AI for so long that they don't use their brains and can't even resist."

He complained about the low intelligence of the people here, without even trying to hide it, and said it directly to their faces.

Because I felt that the people in the car couldn't understand me.

Jian Zhizhen frowned as he looked at the increasing number of self-driving vehicles: "The Guixu system all share a database. If anyone doesn't follow the AI's advice, it will control everything connected to the network to stop the rebels. We're probably really going to see a movie today."

[Pingdang: This is terrifying. AI is surpassing humans... I finally understand why most routes here don't allow autonomous driving.]

[Luo Chuan: Looking at it this way, that supposedly smartest person in the city really was smart. At least his logic was sound and his thinking was clear. Unlike these people in front of us, they're basically all idiots.]

[Chu Tao: Yes! They rely too much on technology. Yesterday, I saw the director mention a detail in the video: the fields here are all planted by robots, the power plants are all operated by robots, and the humans are only responsible for eating and drinking. Occasionally, the AI ​​will assign them some mechanical manual labor, as if they are afraid that they have too much energy and nowhere to use it.]

[Xiao An: The humans here are practically being domesticated by AI... just like how we raise cats and dogs. As long as they are obedient and cute, we are willing to keep them for their entire lives, without expecting them to have their own thoughts...]

That's really true.

The humans here are really like little pets; they have to obey.

Jian Zhizhen didn't want to obey, so the system summoned almost every self-driving car in the city!

There was no way she and Qin Yubai could get back by going through all those endless car rides.

She tried to take off the ring, but when she touched it, her finger suddenly felt a sharp pain, and her whole hand went numb instantly.

Jian Zhizhen dared not make any rash moves here.

In the end, the two of them had no choice but to go to the cinema to watch a movie as arranged by Guixu.

Although they have compromised now, they both share a common thought:

When I get back to base tonight, I'll dismantle this broken ring and take a good look at it.
