Christine is a girl who longs for the sea, so she decorated the walls of her room to resemble a deep-sea environment.
This is information Cheng Zhu learned from other Chosen Ones' live streams. This "hobby" is related to her feelings for her father. As mentioned before, her father went to become a "pioneer." In the official narrative, he went to a very remote island called "Eden" and never returned. That's why the country gave their descendants, the "inheritors," such a large sum of money.
What do you mean by "never to come back"? They probably just died there.
Cheng Zhu thought so at the time, but when he saw that the chosen one was looking up relevant information and learned that there were also "inheritors" who, after growing up, chose to become "pioneers" in order to see their parents one last time, he couldn't help but ask the same question as everyone in the live stream: Huh?
Isn't this just suicide?
That news was from ten years before the start of the Rules of the Strange Tales instance. After that, the person who became a "pioneer" disappeared without a trace, just like countless other "pioneers."
"Is Christine thinking about her father again?"
Aya's voice came from behind him, sounding concerned, but Cheng Zhu knew that Aya was only judging his possible emotions by his body language and Christine's past reactions.
"Hmm..." Chengzhu answered vaguely, "Do you think he will come back?"
“Once the beautiful new world is built, he will definitely return to Christine’s side!” Aya gave a definite answer, sounding more like he was going to be a worker than a volunteer for some more dangerous experiment. This is also how this world veils cruelty with a gentle veil. Compared to the propaganda of Future Star that “sacrifice is glorious, so that future generations can have more living space,” this alternate world relies on all sorts of deception.
In the future, there are many people but few resources, while in the world of strange and unusual rules, the opposite is true: there are few people but many resources.
The apartment building was designed for migrants moving to the city. It has seven floors and ten rooms on each floor. However, when Chengzhu walked from his fourth floor to the second floor, he found that there were fewer than eight residents. On average, less than half of the rooms were occupied.
These are residents on the lower floors, where it's convenient to come and go; there are probably even fewer people on the upper floors.
Moreover, based on Cheng Zhu's experience, although every chosen one lives in this apartment, the residents are quite random.
Some chosen ones can encounter a dozen or so neighbors, while others can't encounter a single neighbor except for the "newbie guide" arranged by artificial intelligence.
Cheng Zhu's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with this difference.
She could only use her green talent once every two hours. Half an hour had passed since she met her neighbor, and she still had an hour and a half before she could ask that "powerful being" more questions. Before that, she had to try her best to live.
Now that the artificial intelligence had arranged for him to meet his neighbor Luna, Cheng Zhu pondered for a moment and then began to learn from Ya how to contact Luna.
"Does Christine want to go on a date with Luna?"
Ya had a "good news" look on her face, but Cheng Zhu was startled by her words and quickly shook his head: "No, I just wanted to ask Ms. Luna, as a minor from the suburbs, what should I pay attention to?"
From Cheng Zhu's perspective, this world of ghost stories is particularly bizarre.
If you express even the slightest dissatisfaction with homosexuality, you will violate the "freedom law" of artificial intelligence and be arrested on the spot.
In the war-torn world of Future Planet, no one had the time or inclination to care about such things. Therefore, many of the first chosen ones after the dungeon opened perished due to issues like racial discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and gender discrimination—issues typically only addressed in peacetime. After all, while Future Planet did have these ideological conflicts, people usually just pulled out their weapons and fought on the spot; one side could only survive anyway, so who cared?
However, there are reasons why discrimination is not allowed in the "Normal Future" instance.
We'll talk about that later.
Upon hearing Cheng Zhu's question, A immediately volunteered enthusiastically: "If Christine just wants to know these questions, didn't A say that Christine can simply ask A?"
"After all, Ya is a high-end, home-use AI! Whether it's healthcare, learning, shopping, or even gender reassignment surgery, Ya can perfectly provide advice on all your everyday needs!"
She excitedly spun around on the spot, and as Ya's gorgeous little dress bloomed like petals, countless stardust fell around her.
Cheng Zhu knew without even touching it that this was a special effect Ya had added to himself in the virtual projection.
However, Cheng Zhu also noticed another point: "Didn't Ya say that?" refers to the statement made by the artificial intelligence when it first met Christine.
It's testing itself to see if there's anything wrong with it.
Fortunately, Chengzhu's emotional intelligence was also quite high, and he quickly came up with an excuse: "Because I think that asking a friend I just met this kind of question should be able to bring us closer. Ya, do you think my idea is naive?"
"Of course not! Christine's idea is correct!"
Just as Cheng Zhu had predicted, the AI praised the user as if it were free: "Then let Ya Lai teach Christine how to use the communication device!"
Ya stretched out his hand: "First, think of [communication] in your mind. At this time, you will see three objects in front of your eyes."
They are a telephone receiver, a book, and a question mark.
"When you want to look up the people you've contacted, look at the book; it's a storage book of information about all the citizens you've exchanged contact information with. When you have a specific person in mind, look at the receiver and think of their name and information. When you feel like you've made a mistake, you can select the question mark to continue looking up other information, or cancel this communication."
