Xu Milu's physical changes couldn't be hidden from Xiao Qi at all. The moment she regained consciousness, the mechanical electronic voice immediately spoke:
[Host, the system has detected significant changes in various characteristics of your body—]
"You couldn't see the Milky Way just now either?"
Although Xu Milu didn't know what those golden lights, which resembled "incense and prayer power," were, she was certain that her instantaneous entry into maturity was definitely related to them. However, to her surprise, the system was unable to detect the existence of the golden lights.
[Host, the system indicates that the surrounding environment is normal and there are no abnormalities.]
Xiao Qi seemed somewhat worried about Xu Milu's current physical condition:
[We apologize, host. Since there are no similar records in the system's history, the system cannot determine what you just saw. However, it is certain that you have left the fledgling phoenix stage and entered the next stage of phoenix growth: the Luan-Feng stage.]
During this period, the human genes within the host's body will slowly degenerate until they disappear, until the host grows into a fully evolved phoenix, and some phoenix traits may appear on the host's body.
"The habits of the phoenix?"
Xu Milu couldn't help but facepalm: "I finally started to get used to being a demon, and now I have to start learning how to be a phoenix all over again? I should have read more of the phoenix-related books my master left behind—"
Although it happened suddenly, it was a good thing after all. Xu Milu clearly felt that the spiritual power in her body was more abundant than before. If we compare it to the mountain stream when she was a fledgling phoenix, then her spiritual power now is like a lake.
She estimated that she could at least fight Red Boy to a draw, and if she used the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Two Elements Vermilion Bird Blade, she might be able to put up a fight with Nezha.
At the very least, if she encountered some powerful demon queens, she would have the ability to protect herself and wouldn't be chased all over the place.
"Let's put that aside for now. What happened to that AI that tried to kill me?"
Xu Milu took a step forward, and before she could finish speaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the ice beneath her feet, followed by the sound of the ice breaking.
"Ka la la— la la—"
The ice surface cracked rapidly, and a huge ice fissure, resembling a black centipede, spread outwards from her toes, like a branch splitting open, with countless fine ice fissures breaking in response!
"!!!!"
Everything happened too fast. Xu Milu only had time to control herself and fly upwards a little before a huge ice crevice, half a meter wide, appeared inexplicably where she had been standing.
"Click-clack—"
"thump--"
Debris on the ice surface fell into the sea, and countless white bubbles rose from the seabed to the surface, only to be instantly frozen in new ice layers.
This is in Antarctica, the coldest place on Earth.
The ice layer is up to 100 meters thick.
"Xiao Qi, how much do I weigh now?"
Xu Milu suddenly realized something, and her face was filled with utter despair.
[34,962.43 tons, equivalent to 34,962,430 kilograms. Host, your current weight is equivalent to the total weight of 4,370 Asian elephants, 184 blue whales, and a destroyer—this is what the system just reminded you of, a point you need to be aware of during your Phoenix stage: rapid weight gain. Once you reach Phoenix maturity, your weight will increase exponentially, potentially reaching the total weight of a small planet.]
Xu Milu remained expressionless.
"Thank you so much for such detailed data. Is there any solution now?"
[Yes, the host can use cloud-riding magic to leave the ground. Once the host has digested the surge of energy within their body, they will return to their previous state. However, the host's actual weight will not change; it is only temporarily hidden due to "mimicry."]
"This is really helpful for my current situation. Oh no, all that practice in hand skills has been for nothing."
Xu Milu covered her face and took a deep breath, feeling that the future was bleak.
It seems she can't go back to Earth for a while, can't freely contact other people, can't use knives casually, and can't handle food as she pleases, otherwise she'll end up collapsing a building while turning over in her sleep, mashing fish into mincemeat when killing fish, smashing the cutting board into the ground while cutting meat, and crushing someone's hand bones while shaking hands...
Just imagining that scene made her feel a little terrified.
Fortunately, she had learned the art of cloud-riding, so during this time she only needed to keep her body at a certain distance from the ground at all times.
[Host, this is a necessary stage in the phoenix's growth, similar to the normal physiological phenomena that occur in humans after puberty. Please do not worry or feel embarrassed.]
Xiaoqi realized that Xu Milu seemed unwilling to talk about this, so she cleverly changed the subject:
Perhaps the host would like to meet this AI with its own consciousness? After all, given the current level of technology on this planet, its ability to develop its own self-awareness is truly a miracle.
Do I have any other options now?
Xu Milu shrugged and said helplessly:
"Let's talk to this adorable AI."
...
...
In Xu Milu's mind, artificial intelligence with self-awareness is either a virtual character like Jarvis, the intelligent butler in "Iron Man," or a mechanical humanoid like a humanoid computer in movies and animations.
But she never expected that the artificial intelligence that had been monitoring her all along was just a random robot dog.
Yes, it's one of those four-legged bionic robotic dogs used for transportation in scientific research stations.
The robot dog's electronic screen flickered, seemingly observing Xu Milu through its camera:
