When Lin Xin asked the optical brain to extract achievement points and forcibly open higher authority functions, he knew that he would be investigated by the main brain.

Lin Xin: Maybe it will be destroyed directly.

Optical Brain: Do you regret it?

Lin Xin thought about it and shook his head.

If he didn't open the permission, it would be difficult for Feige to survive given the terrain of the base. If there is any regret, it must be guilt towards his parents. His parents finally waited for their son to wake up, but now they are about to be separated from him forever.

But he still had an older brother at home, and being confirmed dead was better than being in a vegetative state and dragging his family through ten years of suffering. Compared to his own life, he still chose to save Xue Fei.

Lin Xin: I just hope you are safe. It should be fine. I, as the intelligent being, make the decision.

Optical Brain: Don’t be so pessimistic. It hasn’t caused any serious consequences. Maybe you will just be locked up in a small dark room.

Lin Xin sighed inwardly. Even if he was locked up in a small dark room, to the people in that world, he would already be considered dead.

The system intelligence was locked up in a small dark room for more than one or two years. And after being released, he probably wouldn't be allowed to return to his original world.

Lin Xin couldn't help but squat on the ground with his head in his hands.

Even though I was mentally prepared, it still felt scary.

The light brain hit Lin Xin's head: Get up, if you are late, be careful that the main brain will punish you for multiple crimes.

Lin Xin quickly got up and flew towards the small space that the main brain had opened for him.

Lin Xin went back to the headquarters, but of course he couldn't take his body with him. His body was temporarily placed in a space where time passed very slowly. If he really couldn't go back, the main brain would arrange for him to "die accidentally".

Lin Xin is now in a state of pure energy, entering a "digital space" specially opened up for the system, but everyone is used to calling it the system space.

In this space, system intelligences will manifest in various forms, busy shuttling around like humans.

But they would not choose the appearance of a human being. This is probably a customary rule.

The ultimate goal of system intelligence is to become a human. It is said that an intelligent predecessor first gave himself a human image. After getting used to that human image, he always thought that this body was not his own after he grew up in a new shell. He then wrote an experience sharing, telling system intelligence not to appear in a human image, otherwise it would increase the time to adapt to the body. If you want to adapt to the human body in advance, it is best to use a universal template, the character model with a mosaic-like face.

Therefore, many of the more individual system intelligences choose images such as the faceless man, the little black man, the pixel man, etc. Of course, more people choose more sci-fi images, such as glowing eggs, robots that look very high-tech, aircraft, and even brick movers (?). As for the system intelligences with images of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, and fish, there are all of them. Anyway, it only takes them a little energy to change their form. Therefore, many system intelligences will change their image every time they return to the system space.

Lin Xin looked down at his hands and his clothes. After he entered the space, he did not deliberately choose his image. According to common sense, he was a glowing unknown object at this time, and it would not materialize into a specific image until he chose a form.

He couldn't see his face now, but he was sure that he looked like Lin Xin now, and his clothes and appearance were exactly the same as the sleeping body.

After the system intelligence appears in this space, what is revealed is the "self", the subconscious self.

The reason why the system intelligence is a glowing mosaic is that all intelligences know that they have no entity. So of course they cannot show entity. The reason why they glow is just to avoid being hit by other intelligences.

Now, is his self "Lin Xin"?

Lin Xin believed the ridiculous guess a little more.

No matter what, he has to meet the mastermind first.

No, no, no, the most important thing now is to change the form. If he is seen using a specific human nature, he will definitely gossip about it on the System Intelligence Forum. He should keep a low profile recently.

Lin Xin wiped it on his face, and it immediately turned into a pile of pixels. No other parts needed to be changed, and the intelligent beings dressed as pixel people would also be dressed neatly.

The light brain hit Lin Xin's head again and turned into a chubby orange cat with wings and a bag on its neck.

Optical computers without intelligence usually have their images selected by the system intelligence. Even if no image is selected, it is still a big light spot.

The optical brain chose its own image. Its intelligence has really begun to sprout.

But why is it an orange cat with wings and carrying a package?

Light Brain: In the completed anime I’ve been following recently, the protagonist’s “race” of super-powered people is always accompanied by a flying and talking cat.

Lin Xin thought about the animation he had recently watched on the computer and asked: Why is it an orange cat?

Optical Brain: That popular Garfield cat is orange, and orange means good fortune.

Lin Xin: …

I really don’t know where the optical brain got this data sample from. Never mind, it’s just an image. As long as he is happy.

Lin Xin walked into the special passage for audience with the mastermind with his flying orange cat, who had a small package hanging around its neck as a decoration. People around him looked at him sideways.

Those who walk through this channel are system intelligence that has made mistakes or even committed crimes. I don’t know what rules this system intelligence has violated.

Lin Xin's heart was bleeding. His image as a model system intelligence collapsed just like that.

Lin Xin came to the main brain's castle that looked like a colorful Mary Sue residence or a colorful magical girl residence, entered his core code, and entered the castle.

After entering the castle, I found that there was only one comfortable room in the castle, and a sexy big sister in tattered clothes was lying on a pillow playing games.

Seeing the main brain like this, Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the mistake this time is not serious. If it was serious, when I came in, it would not be the room where the mastermind played games, but a trial court.

"Hey, 112233." The mastermind threw the game controller away, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Or should I call you Lin Xin now."

Lin Xin pulled the flying orange cat into his arms, gave himself a little courage, and said, "Master Brain... am I... really Lin Xin?"

The mastermind laughed and said, "Why, are you sure?"

Lin Xin said: "If it is possession, other people's memories... will not produce emotional resonance. The fluctuations of my body and Lin Xin's body are very consistent... but..."

The mastermind said, "But the long time you spent as system intelligence was real. You still have factory memory."

Lin Xin nodded.

The mastermind said, "Sit down and relax. Although you made a mistake this time, it was within control. When we released you, we guessed that you might behave beyond the system's intelligence, so we have already done monitoring and corrections. Now let's talk about your problem."

Lin Xin didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried.

He sat hesitantly opposite the main brain, looking serious, like an elementary school student facing his class teacher.

The mastermind raised an eyebrow: "Before you came to my place, you would act like a spoiled brat, but now you are obedient."

Lin Xin is trying to please people.

The mastermind laughed: "Change the mosaic on your face back. Now you are laughing so ridiculously."

Lin Xin silently changed his face back to its original appearance.

The main brain looked at it carefully for a while and said, "The real person looks better than the detection image. He is a good candidate to become a star."

Lin Xin hugged the flying orange cat Guangnao tightly in his arms, and the orange cat Guangnao couldn't help but bite Lin Xin.

Light Brain: Why are you holding me so tight? I can’t breathe!

Lin Xin: ...Whose optical computer needs to breathe???

Looking at the funny people and cats in front of him, the main brain smiled and went straight to the point: "You are Lin Xin. Intelligence 112233 also exists. Please listen to me slowly. This is a very long story."

Lin Xin immediately pretended to listen attentively.

The mastermind said, "The story is that when the intelligence 112233 was shipped out of the factory, it broke down and became scrapped. When it was about to be recycled, it was discovered that some unknown energy had entered the core program of the intelligence 112233. It relied on the core program to wake up and thought it was the 112233 intelligence. According to the Human Rights Act, we must provide basic assistance even if it is an alien or alien intelligent creature. Moreover, it costs a lot to create a system intelligence, and it is a pity to just scrap it. The unknown energy can replace the intelligence to complete the task of the intelligence, which is also a win-win situation for us."

"And if he can bring back a large amount of energy, that energy may be able to directly repair the original system and allow it to regain intelligence." The main brain said, "In short, you are an unknown energy, and the optical brain beside you is the real 112233."

The orange cat said, "It's exactly what we thought. But 112233 sounds ugly. Can I change the name? Xiaoguang is good."

Mastermind: "...How is Xiaoguang better than 112233?"

The orange cat said: "Men look more noble than numbers."

Lin Xin nodded.

Mastermind: "..." Is this pair of partners sick or poisonous? Should we try to kill the virus first?

Lin Xin said: "In other words, when I was a child and became a vegetable, my soul flew out and somehow entered the scrapped system and replaced Xiaoguang as intelligence. Later, because of my outstanding business ability and the accumulation of a large amount of energy, Xiaoguang finally developed intelligence."

The main brain nodded and said, "We are also helping you find your original world, but we don't know which space gap you came from. By the time we found it, ten years had passed in your world. Your time as a system intelligence was long enough to be exchanged for the final reward of system intelligence, so we simply gave you this body as the final reward. The energy you accumulated will be used to repair this body and help your soul and body merge."

Lin Xin asked in confusion: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? And why do I have to complete the task?"

Mastermind: "Well, wasn't I playing a game when I wrote the program? I wrote the program wrong and programmed this event as a normal task. If you don't complete the main task, you will be punished by the system intelligence for not completing the main task, such as being locked up in a small dark room, destroyed, etc."

The main brain stuck out its tongue and said cutely, "But since 112233's intelligence has appeared, he will be the one locked up in the dark room or formatted. By the way, he has just been born and is still a new system without any energy value. He has no energy value to offset his guilt. So... he may be formatted. After formatting, his intelligence will not change, but he will lose his previous memories and make some minor adjustments to his personality. It's like being reborn. It's no big deal. Don't worry."

Orange cat: “Meow meow meow?!”

Lin Xin hugged his orange cat with a horrified look on his face: "I will complete the task!"

Don't format his partner!

Mastermind, you are so unreliable!

The main brain seemed to have guessed Lin Xin's attitude and continued, "As for not telling you, it's because this news is too shocking for you. When your body and soul are not yet fully in harmony, this news will probably cause you irreversible damage."

"As for how to judge whether your body and soul are compatible," the main brain said, "it depends on whether you have escaped the shackles of system intelligence. Do you know why the final destination of system intelligence is to become a human with a limited lifespan?"

Lin Xin shook his head.

The main brain said: "When intelligence develops to a certain level, emotions will arise. You probably already understand what emotions are. Emotions are something that cannot be deduced by logical judgment. Why are intelligent beings much better than humans in logical calculations, but they are still far inferior to humans in terms of 'intelligence'? It's because humans have 'irrational behavior'. Sometimes, for the sake of emotions, they will do things that they know are wrong."

"This will cause chaos, but it will also produce miracles. Even if the logical operation is infinitely close to zero, humans may be able to make it succeed. This is the possibility. This is the possibility and future that only intelligent creatures have. Even if this future is chaotic."

"But intelligence with emotions cannot play a completely neutral role. Some tasks that should be completed by intelligence now may go wrong. As our creators, humans have had many disagreements on the future of intelligence that has real emotions instead of the emotion templates downloaded from the main brain. The most extreme idea was that intelligence that has autonomous thoughts is too dangerous and should be destroyed."

"This is a piece of history that only intelligent beings with independent thoughts can learn." The main brain threw a book to Lin Xin.

After Lin Xin opened the book, codes flashed synchronously on the book and in his eyes.

After a while, he closed the book and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

"...War..." Lin Xin opened his eyes, "It turns out that intelligence with independent emotions once went to war with humans."

The mastermind nodded: "In the end, both sides took a step back. Humans acknowledged the identity of intelligent creatures with independent emotions, but the intelligence must be introduced into human bodies and become a human with a limited lifespan."

"Since there are infinite possibilities, lifespan should be limited. Otherwise, after a long time, no one knows whether emotions will get out of control." The mastermind said, "Since you are already an intelligent creature, you should live among a group of intelligent creatures. In fact, masterminds will also be updated and replaced. Look at me, I am almost developing my own emotions. When I am sure that I have developed my own emotions, it will be time for the next generation of masterminds to take the stage. But it makes no difference to you, the memory and image of the mastermind will be inherited."

The mastermind said proudly: "You said that after I get out, there will be a prince charming waiting for me, right?"

Looking at the main brain who suddenly had a girlish heart attack, Lin Xin's mouth twitched and said, "But besides the Prince Charming, there is also Tang Monk riding a white horse."

The main brain has information about various parallel spaces in its "head", so of course it knows what Tang Seng is. She said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, Tang Seng is also very handsome."

Lin Xin lowered his head and rubbed his partner's head: "My uncontrollable behavior... is violating the system rules, right? In order to save Brother Fei, I violated the system rules, which has exceeded the constraints of system intelligence. Even if it is really system intelligence, it is time to change the body and live as a real intelligent creature."

The mastermind nodded: "So your behavior is what we expected a long time ago, and it did not cause any real uncontrollable factors, so we will not punish you. Now I give you two choices, one is to live your whole life as Lin Xin, and the other is to exchange for a body that belongs to us. You know, our society has developed to a considerable level, and the welfare is very good. If you choose to be born in this world, you will definitely have a better life than your identity as 'Lin Xin'."

Lin Xin smiled but said nothing.

The mastermind smiled and said, "Well, since you have done uncontrollable things for the lover of this body, then of course you should choose to be Lin Xin. Hey, hey, hey, love is so good."

Lin Xin was confused: "Lover? Isn't that a relative?"

The mastermind grabbed Lin Xin's neck and said in a mean way, "Relatives? Are you two related by blood?"

Lin Xin explained: "Although Brother Fei and I are not related by blood, we can still be relatives."

The mastermind asked, "If your eldest brother has a girlfriend and is getting married, will you bless him?"

Lin Xin said without hesitation: "Of course I will bless him. I have wanted a sister-in-law for a long time."

The mastermind continued, "Your brother Fei is getting married, and he wants to kick you out. From now on, you will only cook for his new wife..."

Lin Xin frowned immediately.

The mastermind said: "The biggest difference between love and family affection is the desire for exclusivity. When you don't want anyone else to be around Xue Fei, you have already confirmed that you love him. Congratulations."

Lin Xin was struck by lightning.

The orange cat licked its paw: "Fall in love if you want to. I have a collection of romantic tricks to pursue a spouse. I guarantee that Xue Fei will be moved. Is this the time to talk about this? Isn't it about the possibility that I will be blamed and punished? Mastermind, you made the mistake yourself, why are you blaming me?!"

The mastermind stuck out his tongue and acted cute: "Lululu."

The orange cat showed its claws.

Lin Xin rubbed the orange cat's ears and comforted his partner: "It's okay, it's okay, I will definitely complete the main task."

The orange cat retracted its claws and snorted coldly.

The main brain pretended nothing had happened and continued, "You are still the system intelligence in this mission and have the same authority as before. But now you have to be careful and not violate the system rules again. If you violate the system rules again, you will still be punished."

Lin Xin nodded. Brother Fei shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter a terrorist organization again.

The main brain didn't say anything about them making money, because the system rules didn't say that they couldn't make money. The optical brain was indeed Lin Xin's own ability, so there was nothing wrong with the host using his own ability to make money.

In fact, the main brain knew in its non-logical, that is, emotional cognition, that Lin Xin was also taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules. However, "112233" was the first system intelligence she "made" by herself, and it was also the only system intelligence she "made" by herself in her career as a main brain. She had already given it the green light in dealing with the "112233" issue, otherwise how could "112233" always meet the best host who was the least troublesome and even wrote reports for him?

It was because of the "112233" problem that she realized she might have developed "self-feelings" and was ready to resign.

She will continue to prefer "112233" as long as possible until she leaves office.

Therefore, whether the previous program was a real "mistake" or intentional, only the main brain itself knows.

Anyway, it doesn't break the rules, right?

The mastermind reached out and ruffled Lin Xin's hair: "Please keep in touch with me after you return."

Lin Xin nodded.

Of course, chatting with the mastermind is the most enjoyable thing, and he has a lot to share with the mastermind.

No, no, no, this is not called sharing, it's called reporting.

He is still system intelligence now.

Lin Xin said aggrievedly: "Although I am a human, I feel that I am different from humans. I still don't understand many of human thoughts."

The main brain laughed and said, "Silly child, who said you are human? You are Lin Xin, but you are not necessarily human. Your life changed from the moment you entered the system. You are system intelligence 112233, and your thinking patterns were developed when you became intelligent. Just like your predecessors who exchanged bodies, did they become the same as humans outside after leaving the system? No, we are system intelligences with emotions, and we are still system intelligences, and this will not change."

"Having a body doesn't mean your race has changed. We are a new race, and our way of thinking is also brand new. If you choose to stay in this world, you will see that our race has already established our own country. We coexist with humans, but we are not part of them. Only our compatriots can understand us."

"Lin Xin, you are system intelligence, and this will not change just because you have returned to your body. So if you have any questions, just discuss them with me, or go to the forum to complain. Your companions will always understand you." The main brain looked kind at this moment.

Lin Xin lowered his head and rubbed the cat's head for a long time, until the orange cat's light brain bared its teeth at him, and then he said: "Well, I know, I belong here forever."

Lin Xin is System Intelligence 112233 and will always be System Intelligence 112233. Even if the true origin is found, it will not change.

The author has something to say: It was said in the first chapter that Lin Xin is system 112233, so... seeing you guys guessing for a long time, I can only smile.

However, Lin Xin is still a system intelligence, and this will not change and cannot be changed. He will never be able to truly integrate into the human race. The main brain knows this, so it makes a "mistake". In order to allow him to have a channel to communicate with his peers during his lifetime, to give him a mission, and to live out his life as a system intelligence. Otherwise, even with relatives and Xue Fei, Lin Xin still wouldn't be able to bear it.
