Perhaps because she had come to this strange world and Kaopu was the only one who accompanied her, she couldn't help but become unrestrained.
Many times, she would make a big fuss and be very loud, but Kaopu never said anything or got angry. Sometimes he would even join in her commotion, so Kaopu kept pushing her luck.
Unexpectedly, this time, Kaopu's attitude changed, and Xu Ling found it hard to accept.
Xu Ling hesitated several times, but never said anything more.
The atmosphere fell silent. The little fairy, who had just flown back to the sapling of the Tree of Life, hadn't noticed the conversation between the person and the system at all. Now that she found the atmosphere suddenly strange, she didn't know why.
But her intuition told her that it was better to stay put.
No one broke the atmosphere; even the air between Xu Ling and Kaopu gradually grew cold.
The bakery requires 100 points, which is still easy for Xu Ling, who currently has 1100 points.
So she opened the data screen, and an icon appeared in the lower right corner labeled "Factory". She tapped it to enter the interface, and the bakery she had just unlocked popped up; its icon was now flashing, indicating that Xu Ling could make a purchase.
Then Xu Ling dragged the bakery out and placed it near the granary.
Once the bakery is in place, a countdown timer will appear on it.
[The building will be completed in 3 hours. Please wait patiently.]
Since it would take another three minutes to build the bakery, Xu Ling didn't waste the time and turned back to planting wheat and accumulating points.
Xu Ling started watching the wheat intently, ready to harvest it as soon as it was ripe. As a result, she didn't notice that the reliable system, which had been indifferent just moments before, was secretly watching her expression.
The reliable thing regretted what it said as soon as it left its mouth; it felt like it had acted inexplicably.
Although Xu Ling had her doubts, this wasn't the first time it had been like this. As a system, especially one that wanted to advance and reach a higher level, it should be emotionally stable and provide reasonable analysis and suggestions in response to the host's requests.
but!
It discovered that it had actually been interfering with Xu Ling all along, starting from when Xu Ling first came into this world and knew nothing, it recommended that she plant the Tree of Life.
Xu Ling was unaware of the severe punishment that cheating would incur, and that being reliable was a deliberate act of wrongdoing.
It seems that the reliable one did not learn its lesson from the previous host. Even though it was punished, it was still given a chance to reform itself.
Having learned its lesson from the last time, it is still trying to speed things up, simplify the task, and help its host complete it as quickly as possible.
Therefore, it frequently questioned Xu Ling. At first, it could still remember that Xu Ling was the host and was relatively peaceful towards her. But gradually, it found that Xu Ling basically did not doubt what it said, so it slowly changed.
It began to get impatient and wanted to take the lead in guiding Xu Ling to do the task. It didn't want to answer any of Xu Ling's basic questions.
Xu Ling just needs to follow its instructions or do what the system asks for!
And all of this changed in just one day!
Reliable reflected on itself, realizing it couldn't continue with this mindset. Even if Xu Ling didn't show any reaction and everything went according to its plan, it had a vague premonition that she might go down the same old path.
If things continue like this, the mission might still fail in the end, and then it will truly be beyond saving!
After much deliberation, it made a deep self-examination and realized it absolutely had to change this bad habit!
Once you've made a decision in your heart, you're determined to make the change if it seems reliable.
When it came to its senses and began looking for Xu Ling, it discovered that a building was under construction near the granary, and Xu Ling, contrary to her previous lazy attitude, was diligently planting wheat.
Harvest, plant, harvest, plant...
Although Xu Ling was very serious, she was still somewhat numb, and her eyes began to glaze over, but her hands did not stop moving.
"Host~"
Kaopu skillfully maneuvered Baiyun's body to fly to Xu Ling's side and cautiously called out.
As her thoughts began to converge, Xu Ling slowly came to her senses and turned to look at the source of the sound.
It's reliable.
Xu Ling remained silent, but a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
The way she was acting when I called her just now was completely different from before. I don't know what happened.
Seeing Xu Ling looking at it, Kaopu quickly looked away, organized its thoughts, and slowly said, "I'm sorry, host, I was too emotional just now."
Shock flashed in Xu Ling's eyes. No, the reliable person just told her last night that their system has no emotions and relies entirely on simulating emotions!
Kaopu avoided Xu Ling's eyes, ignoring the shock in her gaze, and continued talking to himself, "It's all because I was too impatient, host. Missions should be taken slowly. It's normal for you to have questions. I will definitely answer them properly in the future!"
After saying that, Kaopu looked at Xu Ling expectantly, hoping that she could forgive him.
However, ever since Kaopu got emotional, Xu Ling's mind was filled with her conversation with Kaopu the night before, and she was completely in a daze and didn't listen attentively afterwards.
"No," Xu Ling couldn't help but ask, unsure which was true. "Yesterday you said your system had no emotions and relied entirely on simulation. Why are you so emotional today?"
The more Xu Ling spoke, the more grief-stricken she became.
"So you were lying to me the whole time?!"
She shouted out the last sentence, feeling utterly wronged!
Kaopu was startled by Xu Ling's sudden shout. After thinking for a moment, it tried its best to explain to Xu Ling.
"AI does not have emotions, and my emotions are simulated. But that does not mean I am not emotional."
Xu Ling: ? ? ?
She listened, but didn't understand.
Aren't these two things related?
"For you, the two are related, but for me, they are not really related."
"As I said, my emotions are simulated. Simulation means that there is an algorithm in my body that is calculating. Therefore, when I encounter such problems, what should I do, whether I should be happy or angry, is all controlled by the algorithm."
Xu Ling seemed to understand this but not quite. Seeing that she was still a little confused, the reliable person continued, "And being emotional is like encountering a bug. When I encounter this problem, one part of the algorithm tells me to do this, and another part tells me to do that. When the two parts conflict, chaos ensues. Normally, this would be considered a system crash. But we are different from ordinary computers, so we exhibit emotional behavior!"
Okay, Xu Ling understood this time. It was actually a bug that caused her to react too late.
"So, host, I'm very sorry for treating you like that just now."
Xu Ling didn't really take the apology seriously anyway, as it was a genuine and reliable one.
Although Kaopu is an AI system, composed of nothing but a string of code, she can't help but treat it as her companion.
Yes, Xu Ling understood that her companion was unwell and acting crazy for a few days.
She waved her hand to indicate that it was no big deal, then pointed to the bakery and took credit for what she thought was reliable.
"Look, it's reliable, my newly built bakery!"
