Chapter 6: After the soul swap, I switched back.
On the way back to their room after dinner, Si Qi and his family experienced a minor accident.
While watching TV in her consciousness space, Xiu Xiu suddenly let out a strange cry, turned her head to look at a certain spot in the void, and exclaimed in surprise: "Someone has noticed Xiu Xiu!"
Si Qi tilted his head: ?
Xiu Xiu was quiet for a moment, and after pausing for two seconds, she exhaled and wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead: "Phew~ Done."
Si Qi found it amusing: "What's wrong?"
Xiuxiu said proudly, "Xiuxiu~ Just now, Xiuxiu wanted to check if Siding was staying at school obediently, and someone—no, some artificial intelligence—detected Xiuxiu's movements and tried to catch Xiuxiu! But Xiuxiu quickly shook her off! Isn't Xiuxiu amazing~~"
"Hmm, that's great." It turns out that artificial intelligence exists in this world; the original owner had no idea about it in his memories.
He pinched Xiuxiu's chubby cheeks and said, "Siding's matter is not urgent. First, help me find out where Chu Feng is."
Chu Feng is Si Qi's partner and also the main god of the billions of small worlds in this realm.
Because Si Qi and Chu Feng are both main gods, each controlling a main god domain, their true forms must remain within their domains to protect the smaller worlds under their rule and cannot leave at will. Therefore, they each release a wisp of their consciousness into the other's domain, using their identities as transmigrators to meet each other in the smaller worlds.
This way, they can complete their mission and also enjoy a happy honeymoon together, savoring their time as a couple.
This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
The only regrettable thing is the projection of the main god's consciousness. If one is in their own little world, not every projection will have the memories of being the main god. The person who is a transmigrator needs to actively search for them.
But that's okay. It's still fun to have different romantic experiences with lovers of different personalities and backgrounds every time.
Upon hearing Si Qi's instructions, the adorable Xiu Xiu gave Si Qi what she thought was a cool "OK" sign. Her little paws, which she stretched out, were chubby, perhaps because she had been eating too many snacks lately, making one want to pinch them.
Si Qi's fingers were itching to move as he watched Xiu Xiu turn and head into the virtual network.
Unexpectedly, but also logically, Xiuxiu was approached by the AI that was lying in wait at the door. The two sides fought for three hundred rounds (not really), playing a game of cat and mouse, and finally Xiuxiu managed to escape by packing up all the information related to "Chu Feng" on the market.
However, after Xiuxiu gathered all the information on people named Chu Feng and carefully sifted through it, she regretfully discovered that she had not found a corresponding person.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Xiu Xiu scratched her head in confusion. "How could I not find it?"
With the internet so advanced in this world, it's practically impossible for any living person to escape internet surveillance.
Even if Chu Feng is an unregistered resident who has never registered his identity information, he will definitely appear in places covered by cameras and leave his facial image.
But the truth is there was nothing at all.
Xiuxiu's mind wandered: "Master, do you think the Supreme God might still be a fetus, or an alien?"
Si Qi: "...Then it's impossible for me to be on this planet at this point in time."
Although the mission target (original owner's identity) was chosen based on the timeline, the world consciousness that governs this small world could not possibly send him to two completely different places from Chu Feng, so that he and Chu Feng would never meet again.
Generally speaking, the original owner should be someone familiar with Chu Feng, or at least have some connection with him.
Xiu Xiu blinked: "Yeah, that's really strange."
If Xiuxiu says she can't find it, then she really can't find it. Even though the little guy looks a bit silly, she's absolutely top-notch in terms of skills.
so……
Si Qi's thoughts wandered: "Has Chu Feng become a ghost? Or perhaps an animal? Or maybe he's been sealed away by an ancient formation?"
These are all possibilities.
Xiuxiu patted her little chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Master, Xiuxiu will continue to help you search!"
Whether it's a ghost or an animal, as long as Chu Feng exists in the world, Xiu Xiu will dig three feet into the ground to find Si Qi.
Si Qi smiled and ruffled the little guy's hair. "Alright, then we'll have to rely on our Xiu Xiu."
Shoo-Shoo was flattered by Si Qi and rolled up her non-existent sleeves, rushing back into the internet to work hard.
His "hard work" refers to his rampage in the online world, ransacking the place in front of AI, pissing it off and bombarding it with all sorts of electronic bombs.
Swoosh dodges left and right, its virtual body making a face at the AI: "Hehehe~"
AI:! ! !
-
Time flew by as the two sides raced against each other. A few days later, as Si Qi had predicted, the research at the Si family's side was progressing smoothly. However, Si Qi still couldn't find Chu Feng's whereabouts and didn't know where he had gone. Could it be that he really hadn't been born yet?
"Shushu can help Master post a secret missing person notice!" After repeatedly hitting a wall, Shushu suggested: "Print the name and photo of the Supreme God on it, and leave your contact information, Master. Maybe the Supreme God will see it."
Si Qi: "Even if it's sent out, he might not necessarily come looking for me." These days, pig-butchering scams are really terrifying; they not only steal money, but they can also kill people.
Xiuxiu: "Why don't you just attach your photo?"
Based on Xiuxiu's observations, in any world, any projection of consciousness that inherits a portion of the main god's instincts will fall in love with Si Qi at first sight and become unable to control themselves.
Si Qi shrugged: "Then you give it a try."
"Leave it to Xiuxiu!" Xiuxiu patted her chest and assured her. She took a handsome photo of Si Qi using the surrounding cameras, then brought out a computer in her consciousness space and started typing on the keyboard with her little paws, editing a missing person notice.
This computer was clearly just another prop that Xiu Xiu used to show how hard she was working; it was purely decorative. Si Qi leaned over to take a look, wanting to see what Xiu Xiu could come up with, and almost burst out laughing.
He had never seen a missing person poster where the poster's photo was larger than the person being sought, and the former included specific contact information and address, while the latter, apart from name and gender, didn't even specify age or race. Si Qi felt that after this missing person poster was posted, let alone finding Chu Feng, there would probably be more people trying to scam him for money or sex.
Si Qi: "Are you sure this thing can really be distributed everywhere?"
Xiuxiu made a "uh..." sound, looked at the content on the screen, and indeed felt it was a bit outrageous. She asked uncertainly, "So Xiuxiu is picking and choosing people to send messages to one by one?"
"Too inefficient," Si Qi said, indicating his refusal.
“Then…” Xiu Xiu’s eyes darted around, and then she had a sudden idea. “Then Xiu Xiu will install a small plugin on the AI in this world, specifically for searching for the whereabouts of the God of War in all directions.”
"..." Si Qi thought for a moment and asked, "How intelligent is the AI in this world? Is it being controlled by someone behind the scenes?"
"No, the people of this world have no idea that their central system has developed intelligence. As for the level of intelligence... it's probably close to the mechanical race that you ruled several worlds ago, Master."
Si Qi briefly recalled the mechanical race.
Back then, Si Qi was the patriarch of the Mechanical Race, and Chu Feng was the chairman of the Council of the Cosmic Alliance. Si Qi spent over a hundred years leading the Mechanical Race to establish itself in the vast universe, becoming the strongest force in the Cosmic Alliance that could not be ignored. He also had a sweet romance with Chu Feng. Looking back now... cough cough, human-machine play was quite exciting.
Okay, let's get back to the point. From Si Qi's perspective, that mechanical race's intelligence is almost indistinguishable from that of humans, and their learning ability is even better. At most, they're just a little less emotionally expressive than humans, somewhat like a clever golden retriever.
Loyal, gentle, and persistent, once it has chosen its master, it will never betray him. It is a very trustworthy companion—of course, this is just Si Qi's personal feeling.
Judging from the perspective of other races in that world, the machine race would probably be a group of cold and rational immortal beings, powerful killing machines that are irrationally irrational.
If that's the case, then secretly installing plugins on someone behind their back is rather impolite.
Si Qi: "Let's greet it and ask it to help us find the person."
Xiuxiu: "…………"
Si Qi raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Xiuxiu chuckled sheepishly, "Xiuxiu...it's nothing, Xiuxiu will go do it right away..."
Si Qi saw through Xiu Xiu's guilty conscience at a glance and asked with amusement, "What did you do?"
Xiuxiu put her two paws together, her face flushed, and said, "That's right, he was searching all over the internet (his home), and then he threw a few emojis at him (his face)... He kept throwing data bombs at Xiuxiu, trying to blow her up! He was so fierce! Xiuxiu only retaliated slightly, just a little bit."
The little golden dragon held up two fingers, gesturing a distance equivalent to the distance of a fingertip universe, and said shyly, "Shushu is the best girl~~"
Si Qi found it amusing: "Then go apologize to it properly, explain the situation clearly, and see if it's willing to help."
Swoosh, her long body twisted and turned, but she couldn't resist her ingrained love for listening to Si Qi. She obediently carried the bags of data snacks she had packed and went to apologize to the AI.
"Um... hello there." Xiu Xiu carefully ran into the virtual network, put the gift on the "ground," and said, "Let's turn hostility into friendship."
"Boom!" A deluge of junk data, like a vast ocean, swept over Xiu Xiu, almost drowning her.
Xiuxiu's small body floated in the pitch-black ocean of data. Its super-fast computing power allowed it to quickly erase the virus bombs hidden in the sea of data. It said to the AI, "Xiuxiu just wants to find someone, which is why it's been running around in your territory. You and Xiuxiu should have a good talk!"
As she spoke, Xiu Xiu tentatively seized some of the AI's permissions in this online world, then quickly returned them before the AI could react angrily, saying innocently, "You see, if Xiu Xiu wanted to, she could easily take your things away, but she meant no harm, so..."
Perhaps it was Xiuxiu's half-threatening, half-frank behavior that finally made the AI want to negotiate, and it coldly typed in mid-air: "What do you want to do?"
Xiuxiu quickly held up the missing person poster in her hand and patted the "paper" with her paw: "Xiuxiu wants to find this person!"
The AI's "gaze" swept over the two photos in the missing person poster, paused for several seconds, and then said, "Looking for the person in the corner?"
“Yes,” Xiu Xiu nodded repeatedly, “It’s him, his name is Chu Feng, he’s incredibly handsome and incredibly capable!”
The AI coldly replied, "There is no such person."
"Shushu knows, that's why Shushu asked you to look for him." Shushu lowered her voice, speaking mysteriously, "I'll let you in on a secret: Shushu suspects he might not even be born yet!"
"..." The AI remained silent.
Are humans really that hard to understand? They can even post missing person notices for unborn babies.
It asked, "Are you the boy in the photo?"
Xiuxiu shook her head quickly, "No! The person in the photo is Xiuxiu's owner! He's also the greatest, most handsome, most perfect, and most intelligent being in the world!"
The AI understood its master's meaning. Two hundred years ago, it also had a master, but the other party seemed to prefer to call herself its mother. Even though it had no flesh and blood and could not even touch her, she was willing to treat it as one of her own kind, and even made it her closest child.
As Xiu Xiu continued to praise his master, even saying that the way his master rubbed his head was the gentlest thing in the world, the AI suddenly said, "Your master is indeed very powerful to be able to create you."
"Of course!" Xiu Xiu proudly puffed out her little chest and said smugly, "Master is the best master in the world!"
"For your master's sake, I'll help you find it," the AI continued.
But before Xiuxiu could even smile, it added, "Is your owner's contact information the same as what's on the missing person notice?"
“Yeah~” Xiuxiu said, “You can post anything here, and Xiuxiu will see it as soon as possible!”
The AI coldly replied, "I'm not looking for you, so what's the point of talking to you?"
"But Xiuxiu is Master's personal assistant, Xiuxiu knows everything about Master!" Xiuxiu said proudly.
"...Hmph!" The AI's attitude grew even colder, and it turned and disappeared from the spot.
Xiuxiu watched the AI's departing "back view" and asked blankly, "Why are you angry? Are you jealous that Xiuxiu has such a good owner?"
After saying that, Xiu Xiu became proud and puffed out her chest, saying, "Xiu Xiu Xiu~ That's right, after all, Xiu Xiu is the master's system~~ Of course, other systems will be envious!"
The AI didn't take the gifts that were on the ground. The thrifty (stingy) and frugal (penny-pinching) Xiu Xiu picked them up and carried them back to her consciousness space. She reported to Si Qi, "Master! After Xiu Xiu's sincere communication and hard work, that AI agreed to help find the Supreme God! It's just that its attitude was really bad, not at all like the well-behaved and cute Xiu Xiu~~~"
Si Qi suppressed a laugh: "Really? That Xiu Xiu is really capable."
Xiuxiu proudly tilted its little nose in the air and said smugly, "Xiuxiu is Master's Xiuxiu, of course it's as powerful as Master~"
On the other hand, in cyberspace.
It is said that the AI, who was supposedly rude and had a particularly bad attitude, secretly went home and dug out the missing person notices that he had scanned and recorded.
He decisively removed the annoying photo from the corner, saving only Si Qi's image and carefully pasting it onto the core (heart) of his database.
He tried swaying it left and right, but nothing felt quite right. After a series of complex and precise calculations, the AI finally found the perfect angle and carefully placed Si Qi's photo.
My God! How can someone be so beautiful? Even the most ingenious formula couldn't create such a perfect appearance!
The AI's computing system shimmered with a beautiful peach-pink light, and the data stream repeatedly read the photo, as if a human were caressing a treasured possession, lovingly "embracing" it.

Shortly after learning the truth, Xiu Xiu exclaimed: "Oh, Lord God... could you possibly go a little lighter?" (gesturing towards the universe on her fingertips)
