Chapter 265
[Your Excellency, you know that I can see.]
A0 started to speak in a sarcastic tone.
The system is bound to him, and A0 is the system's built-in AI. Unless he is locked up in a small dark room or offline, A0 can see everything he can see.
Don't bully children. He should be as old as you.
Qi Heng replied.
[I'm not bullying you. Xizi is much smarter than you think.]
"Even though I was limiting my calculations, you still managed to beat me several times. Do you still think I'm bullying a kid?"
He was chatting with A0 and instructing Qi Xi on where to place the pieces.
【If you do this, don't blame me for cheating. 】
A0 relaxed some of his control over his computing power and said rather maliciously, "I haven't played chess with you yet."
Qi Heng picked up Qi Xi and put him on his lap, letting Qi Xi lean on his arms.
"Father Xiong, what's next?" Qi Xi, who was in his arms, looked up and asked him.
He pointed to a spot and said, "Here."
Qi Xi stretched out his hand and tapped the screen, and a black dot fell on it.
Just like that, A0 and I took a few steps forward.
Qi Xi was able to think of the first two steps on his own, but then he started to think hard and got into trouble.
A0, with its computing power fully unleashed, was too difficult for Qi Xi to deal with.
Qi Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. She couldn't help but say, "Ghost, are you cheating? Otherwise, how could you force me so hard that I don't know where to move."
"You were the one who cheated first. Did you take those two steps just now by yourself?" The young man's voice that A0 specially tuned out now came through the light brain, with a hint of smugness in it.
"Father Xiong, come and fight him for me." Qi Xi tugged at his collar.
"I must defeat him and beat him to a pulp."
Qi Heng: ...Boy, you really think too highly of your heroic father.
He was actually not very good at playing chess, and playing chess with A0 was more of a competition of calculation.
He patted Qi Xi's head, hoping the cub wouldn't think too highly of him. "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee victory. Don't get your hopes up."
"I believe in Xiongfu, Xiongfu is the most powerful—"
Qi Heng listened to the praise and sighed softly, wondering if he should ask A0 to give in to him a little?
——To avoid losing too miserably and affecting his image as a tall and mighty man in Qi Xi's mind.
[Master, rest assured, I promise that if I play against you, I will only be slightly stronger than you.]
A0 is showing off, after all, there are not many chances to beat him.
Qi Heng wrote down his words and said, "Then I am doomed to fail."
[Why do you feel like you're going to lose before the game even starts? ]
A0 chuckled: [Maybe you can win.]
[Master, you must believe in yourself.]
Qi Heng played black chess and made moves while chatting with A0. He soon realized that something seemed wrong.
Not the chess game on the board, but himself.
It's not false that he is not good at chess.
So when he found himself looking at the chessboard and being able to make the right moves one after another without thinking, he immediately became confused.
What is going on.
He was thinking in his mind, but he had no intention of asking A0.
Although A0 seemed to have anticipated this, otherwise he would not have said that he had to be stronger than himself to defeat himself, while at the same time saying that he might not lose.
At least A0 knows his own 'level', which is much higher than he thinks.
Half an hour later.
Qi Xi, who was sitting in his arms, had gone from being fully focused at the beginning to being drowsy now, and the chess game had also gone from being easy at the beginning to being in a stalemate.
A0: I never expected that even though the Lord didn't remember anything, he could still reach this level - quietly releasing some computing power.
However, this also indirectly shows that the progress of the second phase of integration is progressing smoothly, the results are very ideal, and no unexpected situations occurred as expected.
Qi Heng was surprised at how comfortable he was, as if he hadn't reached his limit yet.
Mental power speeds up the brain's thinking. If he wants, he can even calculate where A0 might land after he makes his move, just like a chain reaction.
It's not that he didn't notice A0's little tricks, but he also wanted to know how far he could go, so he let A0 gradually release his computing power and play with him.
Another half hour passed.
Qi Heng's head began to ache slightly, which was one of the side effects of over-exerting mental power.
He knew he could only go down so far today.
"Let's end it." He lowered his voice so as not to wake up Qi Xi who was already asleep.
The winner has been decided.
There's no point in going any further in my current state, as I'll be the only one who loses.
[My Lord, I should be the one to admit defeat.]
A0 sighed and said in a very human way: "If I hadn't been constantly increasing my computing power, I would have given up half an hour ago."
Qi Heng stood up, put Qi Xi on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
"I hope you didn't induce Qi Xi to use his mental power to calculate when he was playing chess with him."
[Of course not. Even if a male insect cub wants to train its mental strength, it can't be done this way.]
A0 said it very bluntly.
[What's more, Xizi's mental power is the same as having none at all. It's nowhere near the strength you can use to fight against AI.]
“…”
Turn off Qi Xi's laptop, take it off and put it on the bedside to prevent Qi Xi from sleeping uncomfortably.
"Tell me why my chess skills are so good."
I can fight A0 back and forth... If I return to Earth with this level, I will definitely be the world's number one.
[Perhaps, perhaps, it is because when you are bored, you like to play chess with yourself.]
[You know what I mean.]
"I don't understand. Please explain."
A0: [Actually, this is related to the integration stage.]
[Once the second stage of fusion is complete, you will be able to gain more memories of the Overlord, and then you will naturally understand what is going on.]
[Although the second stage of fusion has not yet been completed, the things that the master knows will gradually manifest in you.]
[Playing chess is just one of the ways to do it. You will get more surprises later.]
Surprise? More like a shock.
Qi Heng snorted softly.
Although according to A0's explanation, the ruler of Tianjia civilization is another self without human memories, and is the part that lives in this world and follows his own way to "play the game" and develop civilization.
He didn't know what would happen in the future, but at this stage, it seemed to him that the existence of the "Master" was like seeing flowers in the fog, hazy and unreal.
…
Five days later.
Qi Heng finished treating Chu Xiu.
Mental energy is combed once a day now, from the initial two hours to the current one hour and forty minutes.
[The second batch of materials has been received, totaling 10,000 tons of energy ore, and is being transferred.]
He gave full responsibility for receiving the second batch of supplies to Lan Yi. With the experience of the first time, it didn't matter if he didn't show up this time.
Once the fourth batch of mining, transportation and energy collection ships arrive, there will be no need to mine on Tianyun Star.
No matter how rich the mineral resources of Tianyun Star are, they cannot withstand such high-intensity mining.
If the original Zerg mining did not affect the ecology - although there is no ecology to speak of on Tianyun Star now, problems would have arisen long ago.
Although there is some exaggeration in this statement, it is definitely not a good idea to keep digging like this.
The Lost Star Zone is equivalent to the old Tianjia Star Region.
Although many planets were destroyed by the war and many chaotic areas appeared where one cannot get out without strong strength, the resources it contains are still very rich.
For the fifth and sixth level civilizations of the Star Alliance that occupy vast celestial bodies, developing the Lost Star Zone is neither cost-effective nor necessary. The lower level civilizations look at it with envy, but they do not have the strength to do so.
The Star Alliance would not allow the Lost Star Region to become the backyard of low-level civilizations, so thousands of years passed and the Lost Star Region was shelved.
Now, it's a bargain for its original owner.
Deep Blue has the entire star map of the star field and is currently exploring the differences between the star maps ten thousand years later and ten thousand years ago.
Although the exploration work has only just begun, a lot of results have been achieved - the new star map sent back has marked the resource points that can be mined.
With advanced civilization technology and the original Zerg who ignore the harsh space and surface environments, they can have an additional "mining area" as soon as the fourth batch of starships arrives.
At that time, you can earn countless resources just by sitting at home.
It would also allow him to relax his finances, which had been strained by the construction, so that he could squeeze out more resources to support the reconstruction of Tianyun Star and have more energy to consider how to help the Tianjia Zerg on other planets.
They are all citizens of the empire, so of course they should be treated equally and we should strive to rescue all the Tianjia Zerg as soon as possible.
"You still can't spread your wings?"
Qi Heng sat opposite Chu Xiu, watching him pour the star potion into the water and then drink it.
Star Potion, only one word different from Starlight.
It has no side effects, only its efficacy is slightly worse than that of the Starlight Potion, but it doesn't matter. The system can make the right mix of this thing, and it only costs some energy points and raw materials.
If one stick isn't effective enough, drink another stick to have enough.
——The star stones that I had collected and thrown away before, not knowing what to do with them, finally found a use.
The star power contained in the star potion is less, but it is gentler and can replenish Chu Xiu's current star power.
The female insects' cultivation of star power has a lot to do with their wings.
Chu Xiu couldn't use his wings right now, and his mental strength and star core were in a mess. For his own health, it would be best to replenish them with potions.
"No, I feel stagnant when I move."
Chu Xiu tried it, and when he felt uncomfortable, he stopped in time and told him how he felt.
"But it's much better than the past few days. I think after a few more treatments, it should be able to relax."
The female insect's wings are thin and can be folded and hidden under the skin and flesh on both sides of the spine. They are only unfolded when used in combat or when needed.
There will be no feeling of astringency during the whole process.
"As long as it helps you." Qi Heng was actually a little curious about what Chu Xiu's wings looked like.
Knowing that he couldn't see it today, he still felt a little regretful. After all, growing wings is something people can only experience in dreams.
"The spiritual power combing will still be done once a day. The treatment of the star core and star orifice... the next time will be the day before the end of winter."
"If the results are ideal, your wings should be back to normal after the second treatment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Xiu looking at him with a hint of hope.
"Don't look at me like that."
Qi Heng coughed lightly and emphasized, "I'm talking about the possibility. Maybe it still can't be done after the second treatment. We need to wait until the third treatment is over."
"Don't get your hopes up."
"It's okay, I believe you." Chu Xiu said without hesitation.
“…” Can he say that he doesn’t believe in himself?
This diagnosis was made by A0. Although A0 rarely makes mistakes in calculations, it does happen.
I just hope A0 can make a successful prediction this time.
Time passed in the ordinary days, and the second combing of the blocked astral orifices was completed as Chu Xiu expected.
Qi Heng put Chu Xiu on the bed and saw that Chu Xiu's condition was different from the last time.
As soon as he put him down, Chu Xiu curled up completely, unable to even faint from the pain.
"Chu Xiu's condition this time is significantly more serious than last time. Based on the dosage of the sedative he used last time, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long."
A0: [You are right. With the same dosage, this time it is only two-thirds as effective.]
[However, it is not recommended to increase the dose of sedatives rashly, as the required dose will need to be doubled after the third treatment.]
