Most of the time, Ya is a highly human-like artificial intelligence.
It can simulate cute children, mischievous teenagers, and mature adults, and its "emotional intelligence" is higher than that of real humans, making communication feel completely human.
However, when "Kobet" was mentioned, Asia surprisingly showed its mechanized side.
It seemed to only recite fixed lines, without any of its own opinions or insights, and disagreed with Cheng Zhu's in-depth understanding of "Kobet": "...In short, Kobet is a bunch of big bad guys! They're responsible for all the bad things that have happened in Smart City! Christine must not be curious about them; if you get corrupted, you might not be able to save them!"
If Ya had acted more naturally, Cheng Zhu might have just listened and moved on. But nowadays, the more artificial intelligence doesn't want Cheng Zhu to understand, the more Cheng Zhu feels there's a problem.
Everyone needs to have a rebellious streak.
However, Cheng Zhu pretended to be obedient on the surface, nodded, and then asked about his current situation.
This was somewhat different from what Cheng Zhu had initially expected. She had prepared herself to be reborn after her death, but instead, she ended up in this strange hospital room.
Prior to this, none of the other chosen ones had ever been to a hospital.
When discussing medical issues, we must mention the artificial intelligence that comes with the Chosen Ones. As advanced, home-use AI systems, they are not only connected to the internet 24/7, but their databases are also directly linked to the city's databases, so any common health problems can be solved directly by AI.
Other chosen ones also worried about the issue of AI in treating diseases. However, with the support of big data, these AIs are like experienced doctors, capable of curing most diseases at home.
Of course, the artificial intelligence that the Chosen One sees is, after all, just a projection of the mind interfered with by the intelligent chip. If there is a lack of medicine, it can be ordered online and delivered quickly. However, if surgery is needed, even artificial intelligence can only help the Chosen One make a phone call to summon an ambulance.
Most of the chosen ones act very carefully, so their condition is unlikely to become so serious that they need to be hospitalized.
Moreover, ambulances are expensive, costing tens of thousands of universal points. Even if a chosen one is resurrected, the universal points spent will not be rolled back, leading many chosen ones to choose to die and start over rather than be hospitalized.
These five resurrection opportunities were initially discovered by a rather reckless chosen one.
After discovering that he was not truly dead, he became even more reckless than before, and would even choose to commit suicide to be reborn when faced with desperate situations.
So after his sixth death, he truly died.
Now lying in the hospital, Cheng Zhu opened her account and, as expected, tens of thousands of universal points had been deducted. The reason for the payment was pollution treatment fees and transportation fees. Even though social security exempted her from part of the price, it still hurt her deeply.
I should have asked Ya to save me before I passed out.
Christine's account suddenly emptied by nearly a tenth—the hard-earned money of her elders. She never expected the hospital to deduct the money directly from her account. Now the medical system no longer had to worry about debts, but Chengzhu's finances were starting to run into trouble.
Is she still going to make money in this world?
The previous Future Star's Rules of the Strange Dungeon was a very short run, taking only four or five days to complete, so Cheng Zhu never even considered making money in the Rules of the Strange Dungeon.
With a large sum of money at the start, as long as the chosen one uses it sparingly, they should never run out of money, right?
Having overcome shopping temptations time and time again, and ignored countless sales pitches, Cheng Zhu, unlike some of the chosen ones, did not have gender identity issues or appearance anxieties. He thought that saving money to this extent would definitely be fine, but the strange thing tricked him here.
If it only happens once, that's fine, but if it happens a few more times, Christine's savings will probably run out.
Cheng Zhu had to consider the subsequent economic issues.
With nothing to do while lying in the hospital bed, Cheng Zhu put aside the matter of Kobiet for the time being and immediately began searching for information about the Smart City currency.
Universal Points, as the name suggests, are the universal currency of the smart city.
There are universal ones, and naturally there are non-universal ones. Similar to "universal points" is another thing called "contribution points". Cheng Zhu's world did not have anything similar, but Yin Zhu's original Blue Star had something very similar.
Credit score.
The official description of the contribution points in the smart city is that they "indicate the degree to which citizens contribute to the construction of the smart city." In layman's terms, it means "be a good citizen, don't cause trouble or break the rules, and work hard and diligently."
Therefore, unlike universal points which can be directly used as currency, contribution points cannot be directly used to buy things.
However, contribution points can be used as "fines" for violations. If a citizen works diligently and occasionally violates minor regulations, they can use contribution points to make up for the problem. But if all contribution points are depleted, the fine will be levied in full.
In addition, those who contribute highly receive numerous benefits such as tax exemptions and shopping discounts, demonstrating that artificial intelligence also encourages people to work actively.
There are generally two reasons for the increase in contribution points: one is that there are some outstanding contributions to society, and the other is that contribution points will increase steadily during working hours, which can also be regarded as another manifestation of working hours.
As for general points, there are many ways to make money.
Besides the common jobs that provide money, the Smart City does not prohibit people from gambling; in fact, there are related recommendation platforms. The descriptions of these online platforms also state that they are "officially regulated by the Smart City and are fair and just."
