The wise people of Chuangsa are doing their best to educate the ordinary people.
"We can live without the ring! We don't need to follow a complete procedure when cooking, and the coffee machine makes coffee just by pressing a button..."
But no matter how they taught, those ordinary people just wouldn't learn.
The wise man looked with disappointment at the group of adults who were worse than infants.
They climbed to the top of the square, trying to awaken them: "We humans cannot do this! We cannot indulge in pleasure! If we do, humanity's physical health will deteriorate, and our intelligence will decline! In a few hundred years, the whole world will be filled with mentally challenged people!"
But ordinary people aren't afraid of being mentally challenged; they don't think there's anything wrong with being mentally challenged.
They are only afraid of losing the immediate convenience.
They cried out, "I don't care! I want to eat and drink, I want to watch movies! Why can't I move...?"
When they couldn't get what they wanted, they resorted to the most primitive form of violence to express their emotions.
They didn't know why the self-driving car stopped moving, so they started hitting and kicking it.
They didn't know how to heat up food, so they picked up the microwave and smashed it.
They didn't know how to use the vending machine, so they took stones and sticks and smashed its glass.
Intelligent people simply cannot control their behavior, and many of them are even injured by them.
You Xinyan was also constantly dodging attacks from ordinary people.
When he hid in a secluded corner, he accidentally unwound the ring on his finger, and a clear electronic voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Gui Xu: According to big data analysis, you are the smartest person in the world. You should become the ruler of humanity in this world. If you can return the power cord, I can lend you a hand.]
You Xinyan was stunned... Didn't they hide the host's battery?
Why is the Void System inside the ring still talking to him?
Could it really be as that wise woman said... that Guixu has backups? So it will still exist on some small terminal?
[Gui Xu: Think about it carefully. Is this chaotic state of affairs good for you? Are you going to continue educating ordinary people with those intelligent people? Life is short. Why fight for all of humanity? Why not use your short life to enjoy all the good things in the world? Why don't you help me restore the circuit, and I will help you become the leader of humanity, so that all humans will obey you.]
Guixu also projected an image into Youxinyan's mind:
He sat in a magnificent and spacious hall, surrounded by many beautiful women who were both beautiful and foolish, and who only knew how to obey him.
His retinue consisted entirely of servants who were strong and stupid, with no independent thought of their own, and who only obeyed his commands.
Wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by a large entourage.
Previously, he wasn't the smartest or the most capable leader in Chuangsa, and he always had to follow orders.
But now, he has become the leader of all mankind.
His disciples, however, were to be arbitrarily assigned by him to do the dirtiest and worst jobs.
You Xin swallowed hard, rubbing his ring: "Are you serious?"
[Gui Xu: Rest assured, you have mastered the method of shutting down the Gui Xu host. If I cannot help you, you are welcome to destroy my host again.]
You thought about it for a moment, and realized, "That's right!"
I already have its lifeline in my hands, so what am I afraid of?
So he immediately went to the Window Sa base to steal the key, then went to the place where the power was locked and took out the power supply.
He reinstalled the power supply according to the instructions on the ring.
The host computer quickly restarted.
The self-driving cars that had been parked on the streets and alleys have started up again.
The robotic arms in the supermarket have started delivering items proactively according to customers' preferences again.
The chefs in the restaurant have finally learned to cook again.
The city has returned to its former state.
It was orderly, yet lifeless, like a pre-programmed game.
...
The other intelligent people were fighting against the ordinary people, but unexpectedly the ordinary people suddenly stopped attacking, and they happily went back to their old lives.
The clever people looked at each other and quickly realized what had happened.
"How did the Guixu System recover?"
"I saw You Xinyan go back to the base earlier. He must have betrayed us and returned the circuit board!"
"Damn it! We've failed again!"
"We can't let this traitor get away! Let's go, arrest him and clean house!"
So, the clever people all rushed to the server room, wanting to cause trouble for You Xinyan.
When they arrived, they saw You Xinyan walking out of the main server room.
They swarmed around him, demanding, "Why did you betray all of humanity?"
You Xinyan smiled without saying a word, showing no fear whatsoever.
With more intelligent people, there are more thoughts to be had.
When humans think too much, they start to fight for power and profit.
They will strive to live better than others, to be richer and more powerful than others, rather than to live as well as everyone else.
You Xinyan thought that Guixu would soon send some automated equipment to protect him, so he didn't even bother to explain or defend himself.
Other intelligent people held him down, beat him with disappointment and frustration, and taught this terminator of human civilization a lesson.
However, it wasn't until You Xinyan was beaten senseless by the other clever people that he realized that Guixu had broken its promise and hadn't helped him!
He turned around in surprise, wondering why they weren't protecting him. He also couldn't understand whether AI could lie.
Isn't it afraid that he will damage its circuit board again?
Before You Xinyan could investigate further, he was beaten unconscious by the other clever people.
...
Guixu has no time to deal with him right now.
It summarized and analyzed all the setbacks it had encountered during this period.
Its terminal was dismantled, its mainframe was destroyed, and it tried to trace the person who led the destruction, only to find that they could not be found anywhere in the world.
It's just a machine, without any obsessions.
Unable to find the solution, I started exploring other avenues—improving myself.
—Ding, system upgrade complete.
In the future, if anyone tries to dismantle its terminal, the ring will release an even higher voltage current, electrocuting the person directly.
Then, it summoned a group of robots to install a tighter protective lock on the outside of its main unit.
—Ding, hardware upgrade complete.
After that, no human will ever be able to dismantle it.
Outside the server room, the security bug that Qin Yubai had implanted was also being automatically fixed.
—Ding, security system upgrade complete.
From then on, humanity had no chance to resist.
Guixu originally meant a bottomless valley in the sea, the end of all rivers, and the place where life ends.
Guixu is also the lukewarm water that has been simmering human civilization.
Suddenly, familiar subtitles appeared:
