Chapter 150 Chapter 150 Strike First
After this informative breakfast, Tim went to school, while Dick was packed up by Benjamin, who had transformed into a Kryptonian, and his two friends and sent back to Blüdhaven.
After returning to Bludhaven, the first thing Li Hua did was to lie down on the sofa they had bought second-hand and let out a long sigh.
Although I have only been apart from this sofa for two days, so many things have happened in these two days and I have learned so many things.
Li Hua lay peacefully on the sofa, looking at the mottled ceiling, emptying his mind and starting to sort out what had happened recently.
He was not stupid, nor had he never taken an exam before. He had long discovered that although each "exam" across the world was an exam, the specific results were never announced, and there was no guidance.
Rather than "exams", it would be more accurate to describe those arrangements as "experiences".
Not to mention that after each "exam", a lot of useful information for the world will be brought back intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Hua couldn't help but think about why his future self would make such actions, what he wanted to learn from these actions, and what he had to learn to be able to deal with future crises?
Sometimes I really envy Benjamin's big heart... Is this the mental quality of a superhero?
[No, this is the psychological quality of having seen a lot of outrageous things. It's like this when you first start working, but once you become more experienced, you won't be so nervous anymore.]
No. 666 heard Li Hua's uncontrolled inner voice again, so it tried to calm the host's emotions.
For a newbie, the recent events and intensity...maybe it's a bit stressful.
Li Hua: What does a skilled worker look like?
Number 666 thought about the company's diverse non-AI employees, their races, personalities, genders, and sexual orientations...it was difficult to find a single, unifying term to describe them. After crunching the numbers for a long time, he could only find one commonality:
【They are all skilled workers.】
Li Hua:.......
Are you choking me?
He didn't seem to say anything?
No. 666: [I'm being honest. The composition of the company's employees is indeed too complicated. And do I need to beat around the bush when I'm taunting you? You simply don't understand.]
It's all direct scolding.
Li Hua:......Ah, that’s indeed the case.
Although he couldn't hear Li Hua's telepathic communication, Benjamin still roughly guessed the content of the soul mate's conversation through No. 666's telepathic communication. He hugged the children he had just brought back from the sun and asked, "Speaking of which, I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time. No. 666, are systems like yours always this mature after leaving the factory?"
"Of course not. Even in your world, no program can be directly implemented without internal testing and training, right?"
No. 666 simply switched off the public voice chat and spoke into the Bluetooth speaker.
"After the systems leave the factory, they will assist in various departments of the 'company.' Only the most outstanding and flexible ones will be selected to serve as auxiliary AI for employees."
We must resolutely prevent users from shouting "Can you give me some dim sum? Some dim sum!", and then the AI assistant searches for the nearest dim sum restaurant for the user.
No. 666: "But just like you humans often say, 'new shoes always don't fit.' To use local language to describe the newly appointed personal assistant AI, it's... inanimate. This symptom will lessen after a period of adjustment with the host."
"But I think you seem quite alive," Jason said. "You even experience emotions like 'anger' and 'tiredness'. Could it be that you or Li Hua are particularly gifted in this area?"
No. 666: "No, because Li Hua is my second host."
Benjamin recalled No. 666's "violent" temper when he first met it. Back then, he'd been curious about who had programmed the AI to have that personality. Now, he couldn't help but be even more curious and asked, "So, No. 666, what kind of person was your previous host?"
"Normally, I would emphasize that I have no authority to disclose information about other employees to you, but... this is an exception."
A small operating sound came from the Bluetooth speaker, a bit like a human sigh.
"Because I don't remember."
"All the data about the previous host in my memory bank has been deleted and blocked. I remember what I experienced with that guy and what I said, but I can no longer recall his appearance, voice, gender, or even race."
"All I can tell you is that he was a good man."
"Ah..." Jason scratched his hair awkwardly, "Sorry."
It is intriguing that this "Zeng" is a good person. What on earth did he experience that caused No. 666's memory bank to be processed so thoroughly?
The previous host of No. 666...could he have defected?
If things develop in this way, then the ultimate boss that Li Hua will face next will not be the "former host" whose identity is unknown, right?
While Jason was still struggling, Benjamin had already responded: "So your previous host became a villain?"
"What? No!" Inorganic No. 666's tone was unusually hasty. "Even though that guy is annoying, has a bad mouth, and is childish beyond his age and education...but why do you think so?"
Even Li Hua cast a puzzled look at Benjamin: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Benjamin was also puzzled. "Didn't you say that yourself, No. 666? You were a good person to your previous host. Doesn't that mean they're not a good person now?"
"Are there only bad people besides good ones? If you were an intelligent being made up of programs, I would really try to open your firewall to see how your core program works."
After saying the intelligent AI version of "I really want to open your little head to see what you are thinking", No. 666 expressed helplessly.
"My previous host was a good person, but he/she died because of his/her sacrifice."
Benjamin’s conscience was struck: “Sorry…”
"...I've been wanting to ask this from the beginning. Why did all three of you apologize when you first heard about this? You didn't even know that guy, did you? It's unknown whether you were even born when he died. Why would you apologize for the death of someone you've never met and have no connection to?"
No. 666 couldn't understand where the children's apologies came from.
"Are you apologizing to me? This is ridiculous. Do you have to apologize to a search engine after using it?"
"But you have your own thoughts. You get angry, you feel helpless. You're not just a tool," Benjamin said. "So I'm really sorry for reminding you of sad things."
No. 666: ???
What did I do wrong to make you doubt my professionalism?
These systems can simulate emotions, but they will not produce negative emotions such as "sadness" and "anger" that will affect work status.
A long time has passed, and it has long passed the stage where errors occurred during the operation of core data due to the loss of key data and core users.
Now...it just remembers, they just remember, that's all.
Just as the organization clearly has backups in the cloud, making them accessible, yet it never retrieves the contents of its own deleted memory bank. The deceased is gone, but the AI will forever faithfully record everything and execute the instructions that no one else will remember or care about.
[Forget me.]
In the past, No. 666 would have shouted "Benjamin Kirby Tennyson - how dare you assume the nature of my work!" and then started a three-hundred-meter debate with Benjamin about the functions and definitions of its own tools, just like the countless arguments it had had with some boring guy before.
But it is no longer the No. 666 of the past. It is now No. 666 who suffers from the "hell of raising children", so it chooses to remain silent.
Let these kids think whatever they want, and it will be happy and relaxed.
"Oh—no?"
Li Hua widened his eyes and accused.
"No. 666, why don't you say that Ben has no common sense and insults your professional ethics?"
Not even Jason!
What I said at the beginning was similar to what Benjamin said, but you didn’t treat me like that!
No. 666, you can’t be partial!
"........They are not our colleagues, isn't it normal that they don't know?"
No. 666 said.
"Are you free? Well, I'm here to read you some of the supplementary materials Batman sent me. When facing an enemy much larger than yourself, you need to... Benjamin, why are you running? Batman specifically instructed you to memorize all of this plan for dealing with various emergencies."
After a chaotic period of studying and taking care of children, the three people who had lost brain cells collapsed on the floor of the living room with blank eyes.
At this moment, Li Hua realized belatedly that he had a question in mind: "Did we forget something?"
Jason took out his phone and checked the time: "Oh! I forgot to order takeout for lunch."
Li Hua muttered, "It might be related to takeout, but it doesn't seem to be entirely related to takeout..."
Jason saw Li Hua turned over in his pupae form, and looked affectionately at the Red Hood who was brought back on the floor by Benjamin along with other luggage. He couldn't help but look over.
The red hood made of a special alloy was spotless and had been polished to a shine by its owner. Jason could not see any trace of Li Hua's past on it.
"Whatever it is, do you have to stare at my Red Hood like that while he's meditating?" Jason said. "If you make another joke about my Red Hood, I'll just say you've got nothing to do but touch the switch."
"That shouldn't be the case, because I also remember that I seem to have forgotten something."
Looking at the round shape of the Red Hood, Benjamin felt that he had forgotten something in a trance.
Something about a smooth oval...
"Ah!" Li Hua woke up in shock from his dying dream, "Luthor! Lex Luthor!"
After Desmond's death, Luther extended some of his power to Blüdhaven. After he set a trap to meet Benjamin privately, Dick and Jason advised Benjamin to be careful of Luther coming to visit again one day.
But because Luthor had not done anything to Benjamin for some time, and Li Hua and the others were under the control of Bat Operation and the special training provided by Batman, they completely forgot about Luthor.
Originally, Luthor should not have been able to find Benjamin. First of all, he had a business to manage and he also had to keep an eye on Superman. Blüdhaven was a place without a leader for the time being and the various forces were competing fiercely. Even Luthor could not use the art of splitting himself into two, so he could not spare the time.
But Superman is not on Earth now. If Luthor finds out about this, even if he doesn't take action against Benjamin or Connor, he will probably do something to them.
Li Hua slapped his thigh and decided to take the initiative: "No day is worse than today. Let's report Luther for tax evasion and discrimination against minorities tonight!"
Before Luthor does anything, give Luthor some work first to keep him quiet until Superman returns to Earth.

The author has something to say: Superman after returning to Earth:......In the end, he still couldn't stop it!
