Cheng Zhu looked up, a little puzzled: "What if water suddenly appears in the bedroom?"
"Probably not, otherwise we'd all be dead." Alice shrugged. "Think about it, if we're in the bedroom and there's water in the room, we can see it when we're awake, but what about when we're sleeping? You can't be constantly checking for water in the bedroom, can you? Besides, we all have artificial intelligence. If a virus invades a room where someone is, the AI will definitely conflict with the virus, and we won't be completely unresponsive. As long as we don't do anything stupid, what situation is it that's certain to die?"
The problem is... when artificial intelligence clashes with a virus, it just shuts down!
Cheng Zhu looked at Ya with a completely distrustful gaze, leaving Ya utterly bewildered: What kind of reaction is this from a human? She seems unhappy? But I didn't do anything!
“Alice makes a good point, but just in case, I think the three of us can share a room for now. That way, if something happens, we can alert the other two immediately.” Mary was still cautious. “We can take turns going into the study space, making sure one of us is always there to wake the other two. I just hope the school can come up with a solution soon.”
"Okay, you guys go first." Cheng Zhu chose "No," not because she didn't trust the natives, but mainly because she... didn't trust artificial intelligence!
Alice clapped her hands, and a fluffy yellow mouse pounced next to her. Now that it was closer, Cheng Zhu could see that the yellow mouse even had a pair of fluffy little wings.
“This is my electronic pet; you can call it Ball. If anything happens to it, just flatten it. I'll receive a notification if it's attacked, just in case you can't contact me.” Alice pushed it in front of Chengzhu. “Isn't it cute?”
The round, fluffy, yellow mouse blinked its anime-like eyes, stretched out its short legs, and made a very cute sound: "Ball! Ball!"
"Cute..." Cheng Zhu couldn't help but reach out and stroke it; the soft fur made him want to stroke it again.
"Does Christine like it? If so, we can get one too." Ya finally found an opportunity to chime in. "Miss Sweeney's custom-made ones are quite expensive, costing three million universal points each, and their entire bodies are made of high-end silk. If Christine also wants one, we can get some cheaper ones, like the universal ones. They only cost one hundred thousand universal points, and their companionship is just as good as the custom-made ones!"
"Speaking of which... Christine."
This time, Mary hesitated for a moment before calling out to Cheng Zhu. Clearly, she had also heard what Ya had just said: "Don't you have a personal AI yet?"
"You can even tell that from that?" Cheng Zhu realized that there was a big gap between his common sense and that of the natives.
“Because our private AI usually sets the ad recommendation rate to the lowest possible level, so they don’t talk so much.” Mary seemed to have a newfound understanding of Cheng Zhu. “Did the AI still have a trial period when you came to Smart City?”
"Um... I haven't been here long."
Cheng Zhu didn't know Christine's situation, so he could only give a vague answer to avoid being too clear and having the artificial intelligence detect that what she said didn't match the system.
Alice interrupted their conversation, putting her arm around Mary's shoulder and saying, "Alright, let's go inside."
Mary nodded.
After the two found their spots, their bodies suddenly stopped, as if they had fallen into a dormant state—this was also the first time Cheng Zhu had seen others enter the study space in this state. If he had any ill intentions, the two of them would be completely unguarded.
This is why the school provides each student with a private room.
From another perspective, Alice trusted Cheng Zhu and Mary, believing in their character, so she directly pulled them into her room.
Cheng Zhu always treated others like a mirror, and after sensing Alice's trust, he naturally felt a greater liking for her. At first, Cheng Zhu's impression of Alice was just that of a friendly, aristocratic native, but as she became more approachable, Cheng Zhu gradually lowered his guard against her.
Taking advantage of Mary and Alice's absence, Cheng Zhu clasped his hands together, a faint green light flashing in his eyes.
This is the perfect time to have a conversation with beings of higher dimensions.
This time, however, Ya stopped, seemingly unaffected by the divine possession. Just as Cheng Zhu was about to look around for His presence, he suddenly heard a very sweet voice: "I'm here."
Chengzhu lowered her head and saw the yellow-haired mouse staring at her with its round eyes.
"you?"
Cheng Zhu quickly covered his mouth to avoid bursting out laughing.
The high-dimensional being didn't seem to mind her offense. His short, chubby legs quickly found a place to sit down, and a faint pink light shone in his black eyes: "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"I want to know, if I stay in the dorm all the time, am I doomed?"
This statement defines a specific spatial range. If He answers "yes," it means the key to passing the level is somewhere in the school. If He answers with vague answers like "not necessarily" or "maybe," then staying in the dormitory might also be a way to pass the level, such as finding a way to leave through the internet.
However, it wasn't that complicated. The high-dimensional being nodded easily: "The dormitory can indeed allow you to rest peacefully before clearing the level, but it can also make you sleep forever."
Having ruled out dormitories, the next step is to look for other places.
Cheng Zhu decided to try narrowing down the search further, ideally specifying a key area: "So do you have any recommendations? This campus is too big, I feel completely lost..."
