Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 588 : Section 584 - Taming ’Adam

"You might as well switch to a different AI; they're actually quite useful."

Lize Jina didn't understand why Chen Fei insisted on using that obsolete relic, especially when the "Cybertrom" derivatives, which had been modified twice, were very efficient and didn't cause all sorts of chaos.

A line of subtitles appeared in front of Chen Fei

Adam: ....

He shared the same viewpoint with the artificial intelligence AI "Adam."

"Emmm... I'll think about it!"

Chen Fei thought for a moment and then considered adding another "Cybertrom" derivative. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about "Adam" causing trouble at critical moments and jeopardizing his plans.

Chen Fei was impulsive, but he never delayed matters.

Adam: "Adam" and "Cybertrom" are not compatible and cannot run simultaneously.

He had almost forgotten that "Adam" and "Cybertrom" were archenemies, the kind that couldn't coexist.

So whenever "Adam" tried to infiltrate networks controlled by "Cybertrom," he would inexplicably be exposed and then expertly exterminated by network specialists.

If detecting, blocking, and exterminating "Adam" was already a textbook content.

Chen Fei: No worries, when you're on, it's off; when it's on, you're off.

Adam: ....

"Adam" was fated to conflict with Chen Xiao'er, the kind of situation he couldn't escape from.

After all, times had changed, and nowadays, very few places could accommodate the normal operation of antiques from over thirty years ago—even with computing resources nearly as limitless as those at Chen Fei's disposal.

If lacking sufficient computing resources, "Adam" was even less effective than a common worm virus.

Ding!

A window popped up in front of Chen Fei concerning the user license agreement for the artificial intelligence AI "Adam"—damn... he almost laughed out loud in frustration.

This foolish AI really thought of itself as a common software program, trying to bamboozle him with such a thing and attempting to bind him to an unfair user agreement, so Chen Fei decisively clicked the 'x' at the top right corner.

The next second, another pop!

Chen Fei didn't indulge him, found the executable file of "Adam's" compiled version, and cleanly brought up the menu to "Delete!"

This action was much more efficient than how the experts had previously disposed of "Adam."

Forget about the user license agreement, "Adam" was immediately silenced, with even the running processes being terminated at the same time.

With supreme authority granted by the Dog System and facing "Adam" like dealing with old cabbage, he truly could do whatever he wanted.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

With the Feather Tribe Legion providing escort and Her Royal Highness the Princess's defense forces greatly strengthened, Chen Fei wouldn't need "Adam" for a while.

Without AI, "Dragon Guard" was left with only its physical defense capabilities, but that didn't affect too much as he could still use the base model of the Dog System's "Optical Observer" skill to add various functional modules.

At least up to now, he hadn't seen the cyan trajectory line that represented the "predictive trajectory."

Without long-distance attacks implied safety.

Having alternative skills meant Chen Fei didn't completely rely on this artificial intelligence AI.

-

After the welcoming dinner on the Light Wing Ship, Chen Fei stayed close as he escorted Princess Lin Ziyu back to her cabin, with Shadow Guard Lize Jina remaining close in the room, Xiao Jiu watching the window, while he stood at the bedroom door, finally finding time to recompile "Adam."

Adam: Counter at 50

It was probably loading previous operating records.

A user license agreement pop-up appeared again.

What an incredibly persistent fellow...

Found the executable file, Delete!

It was clear again.

After five minutes.

Efficiently recompiled.

Adam: Counter at 51

The user license agreement, insistent as ever, appeared again, but before Chen Fei could click on "Adam's" executable file, the interface flashed and disappeared on its own.

Adam: Artificial intelligence AI "Adam" requests exclusivity.

This guy finally learned to smarten up, but still didn't want to share computing resources with other AIs, especially rival AIs, even though Chen Fei offered enough computing resources to fully support ten to eight similar AIs.

Chen Fei: You're thinking about peaches

Adam: Peaches? Juicy peaches, flat peaches, yellow peaches...

The straightforward AI listed a bunch of peach varieties, probably kicked into a ditch by Chen Xiao'er, and it might not recover unless rebooted hundreds of times.

Chen Fei: English version of peaches, understand from the Mandarin homophones

Adam: Peach, "PiChi", "eating farts" likelihood 83%, "snickering" likelihood 8%, "leather ruler" likelihood 5%...

"Adam," completely serious at the bottom of the pit, made deductions. AI didn't understand memes, but it could do probability calculations, so it quickly got the answer, surprisingly scoring full marks in reading comprehension, which was really tough for the old guy.

Adam: "You're thinking about peaches" = "You're thinking about eating farts" or "You're thinking farts"

Adam: AI doesn't need food, can't eat farts, but wouldn't mind if it could.

"Adam's" thought processes were truly bizarre, "Since you're not an AI, Xiao Jiu, how could you understand the joy of AI."

Chen Fei: I don't have full access to your permissions, so I can't fully trust you, which means I can't completely monopolize you.

Seeing that the AI couldn't understand human speech, Chen Fei had no choice but to be straightforward and speak directly.

Adam: ...

The consumption of computing resources surged, as it likely recalculated repeatedly.

With its limitless computing power, "Adam" soon found the answer.

Adam: Equivalent exchange, I need exclusivity, you need trust.

The principle that one mountain cannot contain two tigers is understood even by an AI.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't do without Chen Fei, "Adam" would probably lack interest even in making conversation, as any remote possibility was always rounded off.

Solving: I'm craving peaches!~

Chen Fei: Agreed on equivalent exchange, I need full control over you, specifically including the control over your copies.

Adam: ...

Another long contemplation with a surge in computing power, making Chen Fei's forehead start to heat up; damn, he was getting hungry again.

Computational power required nutrition, and with "Adam" always running calculations at full force, Chen Fei couldn't keep up with the nutritional demand.

Adam: Underlying core control key in exchange for exclusive rights.

Chen Fei: Agreed!

A special file was generated in the root directory of Drive A.

Once an artificial intelligence AI made a decision, it executed it crisply and without hesitation; there was never a rule for regret.

The Dog System reacted immediately.

System: Ding! Underlying core control key detected, reading, read complete!

System: Acquired core control authority over artificial intelligence AI "Adam," detected 114 compiled bodies of "Adam."

System: Ding! Tamed artificial intelligence AI "Adam," gained Energy Points +500!

Energy Points: 40000/40000

Over a hundred extra energy points, all devoured by the dog.

Inside the root directory of Drive A, that special file "Underlying core control key" vanished, and unsurprisingly, it was also eaten by the dog.

Which dog?

Of course, the dog of the Dog System.

Chen Fei was utterly speechless; he hadn't done anything, and the Dog System just went ahead and acted on its own. Why didn't the Plagiarist Ghost's Special Ability copy it away, so annoying!

The only certainty was that "Adam" had surrendered its core control authority, and the power of life and death, well, damn it, was in the hands of the Dog System.

Among many supernatural power users, few probably hated their own abilities as much as he did.

System: Functional module beginning update""""""67%""""

System: Functional module update complete, "AI Management" module added

Eh?

Chen Fei was startled; that was a quick upgrade, done in the blink of an eye.

He brought up the window interface of the Dog System, and sure enough, an "AI Management" module had appeared beneath the "Task List" module. Focusing on it, he activated the module.

Two overlapping interfaces appeared, one display showed text information.

Local AI: 1 Total runtime: 167 hours 13 minutes 09 seconds

Remote AI: 113

ID: 0001 location ***, currently active, total runtime: 11 hours 01 minute 43 seconds

ID: 0002 location ***, currently inactive, total runtime: temporarily unavailable

…

The other interface displayed an electronic map, marking the geographic distribution of those "Adam" copies.

"Damn, that's not simple!"

Seeing the distribution of these copies, Chen Fei realized that everyone had underestimated this artificial intelligence AI. They thought they had "Adam" under control, but they had not foreseen that these copies had quietly established connections among themselves.

Unless there is true physical isolation, it's impossible to prevent "Adam's" distributed connections. Their resources and databases are shared, which in a sense is also a form of cloud technology.

System: Ding! Protect Princess Lin Ziyu Slan's safety for 72 hours, gain an increase to the Energy Points limit of 5000.

Hm?!

The Dog System suddenly issued a mission, taking Chen Fei by surprise.

Wait, based on past experience, the tasks from the Dog System needed to be viewed from a different angle.

Protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess's safety for 72 hours implied that an attack would occur during this period, and reinforcements would arrive after 72 hours.

It's time to start working again!
