Chapter 133-132- Online Invisibility
For Yvette, deploying ordinary AI models is definitely meaningless. She doesn't want to install a chat software in her head, so in terms of choosing the direction, her goal is specialized AI. To put it bluntly, it is a professional AI with low versatility but excellent effects in vertical categories.
After all, it is well known that compared to the algorithm itself, the data and information that feeds AI are the most valuable, and these things are monopolized by super companies. There is no other way except spending money.
So, after some investigation and seeking the opinion of Firefly, Yvette locked on her target, which was a scientific research-level AI model in the pharmaceutical field sold by Black Tower Pharmaceuticals. It was called "Sage's Core" and had its own database. Its main function was to assist in the detection and analysis of the pharmacology of various materials. It was an essential tool for making potions, rune potions, and even active rune sets.
Of course, she had mastered the knowledge of rune medicine a long time ago and was fully capable of mixing many potions and rune medicines by hand, but she had no need for it. Secondly, she only mastered the high-end theoretical framework, but she had basically no understanding of the basic potion materials science, such as which materials could be used to refine which potions, which was more rote memorization content.
This meant that if she wanted to make her own potions, she had to manually test the medicinal properties of the basic materials first, just like a top architect building a building by digging clay from a mine. It was not impossible, but who could afford it?
Therefore, to this day, she is in a state where she has the knowledge of rune medicine, but has many troubles in putting it into practice.
Now that she had this, things became much easier, and she could finally make and mix magic potions, although she was still an unlicensed doctor.
…
In July, in a small county town adjacent to the Fos River, Yvette, Liana and Yinghuo rented a small apartment and lived a low-key life for two months.
In the past two months, the attention paid to the Fosjiang tragedy has dropped a lot. No one mentions it anymore, whether on the Rust Bone intranet or the international network of Kuroshio Island.
However, the Rust Bone officials and the Holy Spirit Sect have never relaxed their internal searches, especially in the small county where Yvette lives. There were no surveillance cameras at the intersections before, but now there are shuttles flying around in the streets and alleys. It is obvious who they are targeting.
But it's understandable. Who could accept a monster capable of causing hundreds of thousands of casualties roaming freely within their borders? Even if the Holy Spirit Cult's Pope tolerated it, Rusty Bone's Prime Minister and cabinet certainly couldn't tolerate it.
Therefore, in order not to irritate the Rust Bone officials, Yvette has been keeping a low profile here. Like an ordinary pharmacist, she places glass bottles filled with various liquids in the house every day and is familiar with the combination of magic potions.
Of course, there is another reason to stay here, which is that this place is still very close to the Fos River. Yvette is worried that if she moves further away, she will touch the boundary of the dream world.
Although Zero had mentioned that this was not a completely fake world, out of caution, she would rather spend the rest of her time here practicing potion brewing than do anything risky.
And so, time came to autumn.
With less than half a month left in the dream, the Rust Bone officials' pursuit of Yvette and the other two began to relax again. The streets returned to normal, and the shuttle with flashing red and blue lights disappeared.
At this time, Yvette finally decided to take Liana and Firefly away from here, cross the entire Rust Bone, and approach the east coast of Kuroshio Island. The final idea was to take the smuggling route and go to another continent.
The process went very smoothly.
Relying on hacking techniques to deceive surveillance and taking various country dirt roads, the group got closer and closer to the east coast.
At the same time, as the distance between her and Fusjiang continued to increase, Yvette also confirmed one thing.
That is, the dream world is truly complete and is not limited to the small area where the dream occurs. It seems to have no boundaries at all.
In other words, it was most likely not a dream, nor a fragment of memory left to her by Zero. Otherwise, how could you explain how you could create such a large, complete world, with every detail so logically and neatly organized, through your memories? The original owner wasn't an omniscient and omnipotent god.
But this brought up another question that made Yvette even more confused.
Why are the people in her vision different from others?
When she first entered the dream, she discovered that the people in her eyes were a little blurry and translucent, which made her immediately judge that she was not in the real world, but had entered a false dream.
Later, in the Blackwater District of Ish City, after taking Rosaline into a dream, she discovered that Rosaline's body had not become illusory. This further deepened her belief that she had the ability to distinguish between fake and real people at a glance, and even if there was a second person in the dream, she could tell at a glance.
But now, the dream world is not just a dream. Zero looks like a fake person, but he is suspected not to be a native of the dream world.
Could it be that his strange vision is not used to distinguish between real people and fake ones?
In fact, there are no fake people, they are all real people?
With this thought in mind, one day, in a hotel in a small town along the way, Yvette looked at the pedestrians on the street again.
Then she saw, like water waves rippling before her eyes, the bodies of those pedestrians who were a little transparent and blurry suddenly became clear, as if they had returned to the real world.
Yvette was stunned for several seconds, then a thought occurred to her, and the bodies of the passers-by became illusory and transparent again.
Yvette was even more surprised, thinking that this could be switched?
Why didn’t I discover it before? Is it because I don’t have any knowledge about it?
Immediately...
She thought of something and looked down at herself.
The next second, she saw her body begin to become illusory and transparent, just like the people walking on the roadside.
She turned to look around the room. Firefly was in a corner, charging herself with magic wire. Liana was reading a linguistics textbook teaching Emerald Language. As if sensing her gaze, Liana raised her clear eyes, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong, sister? Is there something on my face?"
Yvette said, "No...you're just too pretty, Liana."
Liana was still a child after all, and didn't know how to hide herself. Her fair face instantly flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, her fingers unconsciously curling the corner of her clothes: "No, no, sister, you are the one, much prettier than me..."
Yvette smiled and looked away, thinking, as expected, this visual effect is only visible to me...
But soon, she thought of another thing.
If she could use this method to disguise herself as a native of the dream world, wouldn't Zero be able to do the same?
What is this, online invisibility in a virtual online game?
…
Ten days later, Yvette, Liana, and Firefly's cyber wandering stopped at a port city on the east coast of Kuroshio Island in the Rustbone Free State.
Since it was about to end, Yvette gave the two some instructions, left enough living expenses, rented a house, and waited quietly for the dream to end.
As the scene before her eyes dissolved, blurred, and was swallowed by the boundless darkness, and then slowly gathered to give off a sense of light, Yvette opened her eyes and saw a rusty, moss-covered ceiling, and breathed in cold, damp air. This immediately confirmed that she had finally returned to the post-apocalyptic world, the Water Tower Kingdom of the Mechanical Clan.
Well, my height has returned to normal, which is great.
She stood up, noticing the remnants of the earthen barrier she'd created with magic. She tore it apart, soaring lightly through the wind, and swooped down through the entrance to the underground ruins. Sunlight streamed down generously, illuminating the submerged city. The crystal-clear river reflected the shimmering waters, like a school of golden fish.
She let out a long breath, thinking that although the post-apocalyptic world was a barbaric world governed by the law of the jungle, it was still more suitable for her than the origin world before the apocalypse. At least it was not as physically depressing.
Of course, it's not ruled out that she felt depressed because she was being hunted and had to wander around with Liana and Yinghuo. Ordinary people should have an easier life than her... probably.
Then, remembering something, Yvette left the underwater ruins and flew low along the flooded streets. She soon left Water Tower Country and entered the surrounding desolate area. She precisely reached the coordinates she had set in her memory and began to carefully dig down.
Each excavation was accompanied by the passage of time. After repeating it many times but failing to find the time capsule buried in her dream, Yvette was finally sure.
As expected, dreams are an independent world, and what we do in dreams cannot affect reality or change the future.
Yvette was actually relieved. She had no love for the Origin Civilization, nor any sense of belonging; she simply needed their technology. If she accidentally canceled the apocalypse and altered the future, her fateful encounter with Rosalyn and Douglas might also be altered, and that was exactly what she didn't want to see.
And now, she is satisfied enough to maintain the status quo.
