The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 195 You're a famous star at headquarters!

Before the meeting ended, Feng Xiaobo asked about the situation of the other members of the Qingshi team.

Li Yilin and the others spoke in turn, explaining their situation in the tenth level of the virtual reality.

This took some time, but overall it wasn't too long, since the process was preserved in the virtual reality data record. The main task was to ask them about their individual opinions and the process, including whether they had any physical discomfort.

As it stands, although it was a very dangerous experience, even a near-death one, they have not suffered any lasting effects. After recovering from their initial weakness, they have all returned to normal.

Let alone the aftereffects...

All five of them have actually improved.

Especially in terms of mental strength, the improvement gained after experiencing life and death has a remarkably significant effect.

Of course, Jiang Chuan was the biggest beneficiary. However, when the topic of growth came up, the headquarters staff seemed to have forgotten about Jiang Chuan, only asking the other four people. But when it came to Jiang Chuan, Feng Xiaobo changed the subject again:
"The process is almost complete; the next step is to discuss the rewards."

Jiang Chuan perked up at the mention of this, his ears perking up.

Feng Xiaobo said, "The Qing City team played a crucial role in the overall mission, without a doubt."

“You can contact the artisan team and customize some things you need.”

“You probably don’t know yet, but this opportunity for on-demand customization is extremely rare.”

"Considering that you are still students, any customized item may accompany you for life, so this reward can be considered exceptional."

"If you don't already have the weapons or equipment you want, you can exchange this opportunity for credit points."

Jiang Chuan glanced at the two teachers, Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang, who were sitting next to him listening in.

Seeing their envious looks, Jiang Chuan immediately understood what choice he needed to make this time.

Tian Tian was the first to speak, and she was arguably the most enthusiastic. She began by saying:
"I want a dagger like Jiang Chuan's!"

Feng Xiaobo smiled and said, "You can discuss it further. It's not necessary to make a decision right now."

"Jiang Chuan's dagger only costs five hundred merit points."

"I must emphasize again, this time you can customize it."

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Feng Xiaobo meant.
She couldn't suppress the smile on her face; she felt excited that all that hard work in the virtual reality world had been worth it.

Lin Ci and Chen Ming, on the other hand, were somewhat melancholy, because for these two body-type awakeners who didn't rely much on weapons, the difference between customized and uncustomized weapons didn't seem to be that significant.

Li Yi is the safest bet.

She wanted a good sword that suited her hand. The sword she was using now was quite good, but it was still far inferior to the "custom-made" sword from the headquarters' craftsmen.

Jiang Chuan's dagger, though costing only 500 merit points, was already quite enviable.

If she could have a good sword custom-made to enhance both its material and functionality, at least one made of a material that could extend her spiritual power, her strength would undoubtedly reach a new level.

As for Jiangchuan...

Jiang Chuan himself is unsure of what he wants.

However, I do have some ideas. I can make use of my new ability, which allows me to penetrate a short distance of space.

Customization might lead to some unexpected chemical reactions.

Feng Xiaobo then spoke up again, "Alright, Jiang Chuan, you stay. The rest of you can go back and rest."

After Lin Ci and the others left, Jiang Chuan was left sitting there alone, feeling inexplicably bored. He now wanted to go back to his dorm to rest...

At this moment, all the attendees at the holographic conference focused their attention on Jiang Chuan.

Once the room quieted down again, Feng Xiaobo solemnly said, "Jiang Chuan, you played a crucial role in resolving this disaster."

"So, regarding your reward..."

"Of course, it's more than others."

Feng Xiaobo's words swept away the inexplicable emotions in Jiang Chuan's heart, and he began to look forward to what Feng Xiaobo would say next.

Feng Xiaobo said, "We will transfer 50 yuan to you within three days as an extra reward."

"Merit points will also be calculated on the first of next month, 5000 points."

Upon hearing this number, Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Five thousand points? I only got five thousand points back then during the Anle Tomb incident!
However, upon closer examination, the degree of harm and personal importance of this Nine Lines incident are naturally incomparable to the previous Anle Tomb incident.

A 50-point bonus, 5000 merit points, plus the chance to obtain custom-made equipment and weapons from the top craftsmen...

The series of happy events made Jiang Chuan's heart beat even faster.

I still had over 100,000 yuan in my account that I hadn't spent, and then I got a bonus of 500,000 yuan!
With these 5,000 merit points, I now have over 16,000 merit points. What good stuff can I exchange for then?

At this moment, the old man sitting in the audience also spoke up: "Jiang Chuan, it seems that Li Yu's concern for you is not without reason."

“I’ve been keeping an eye on your situation.”

"This third phase is about to end, and I look forward to seeing you again."

The old man chuckled kindly and continued:
"Now……"

“You’re a big star here at headquarters.”

That's all for today, I have to go now.

The old man's holographic projection disappeared quickly, and Jiang Chuan had some guesses in his mind when he heard Li Yu's name.

But he said he's a celebrity? What does that mean? A big celebrity?
Jiang Chuan had no idea how much shock his zombie-slaying spree had caused the staff at headquarters, and even garnered him a small group of fans...

At this moment, Feng Xiaobo continued, "Jiang Chuan, the one who just spoke was Song Chen, the head of the field operations team."

"If you want to join the field operations team in the future, you will undoubtedly have to deal with Mr. Song."

Xu Chenggong's violent coughing interrupted Feng Xiaobo's words: "Cough cough cough!"

"Team Leader Feng, why are you already trying to poach people?"

Feng Xiaobo glanced at Xu Chenggong and said, "Dean Xu, we know what you mean, but Jiang Chuan's talent is wasted in Qing City. Sooner or later, he will have to be released."

Xu Chenggong raised his eyebrows: "Your training program team is also asking for people for field operations?"

Feng Xiaobo smiled and said, "Team Leader Li of the Third Field Operations Group has a close relationship with Jiang Chuan. In the end, this matter will depend on the opinion of the Field Operations Group and Jiang Chuan himself."

Wang Xuejun from the technical team interrupted their conversation and said:
"Jiang Chuan, when you arrive in Yanjing, come to the technical team."

"Your abilities are related to this..."

"Space...space is shrinking?"

"No matter what, come to us. During your time in Yanjing, we'll help you develop your abilities."

Jiang Chuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Jiu Xing came from the technical team, and I owe my ability to control this skill to Jiu Xing.

In any case, the technical team will definitely bring you a huge boost.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you..."

Before Jiang Chuan could finish speaking, Xu Shan's voice came over: "You're the first to have any spatial abilities."

"If the development goes well, you can be expected to become the fifth A-level player in no time."

Feng Xiaobo said:
"We still need to contact the authorities in Yanjing and Fengtian."

"That's all for now, Jiang Chuan. We'll wait for you to come to Yanjing."

Soon, communication was cut off.

Xu Chenggong, Wang Zhi, Cao Zhigang, and Cao Zhiqiang all gathered around, eager to know what Jiang Chuan's new ability, related to "space," was all about.

But Jiang Chuan shook his head: "I don't know..."

"I have no idea how to use it or what results it can achieve."

Although Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi were not theoretical physicists, they were still quite accomplished scholars.

Xu Chenggong stroked his beard and said, "If this spatial ability is developed well, then just like Xu Shan said, becoming the fifth A-level wouldn't be a problem."

"You're quite the surprise guy!" As soon as Xu Chenggong finished speaking, Cao Zhigang laughed heartily and patted Jiang Chuan on the back, making a series of muffled thuds.

Cao Zhigang spoke excitedly, his loud voice booming:

"Not bad!"

"With the power you have now, the fourth phase of training is a piece of cake!"

"Our Qing City can definitely..."

Cao Zhiqiang interrupted his brother Cao Zhigang: "You don't know the specifics of the fourth phase of training yet."

"But since you've already finished the third phase of training, it's no harm in telling you now."

"The fourth stage is real combat."

"Five-person teams from all over the country will gather in Yanjing for the final battle assessment."

Jiang Chuan then understood why they had all been so certain that he was going to Yanjing.

Considering the previous exchange and learning trip to Beijing by the Qingshi organization, it seems that the headquarters had made preparations for this fourth phase of training well in advance.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan immediately thought of the awakened memory that belonged to Zhao Yun, and Fang Yi, a member of the fifth field team.

I originally thought it would be difficult to go to Yanjing...

Jiang Chuan had been looking forward to visiting Yanjing, which was, after all, the heart of this land. Even if it was just to see the flag-raising ceremony, he would still want to go. Since he was going to Yanjing for the fourth phase, it was naturally a good thing.

Wang Zhi said, "Alright, Jiang Chuan, go back and rest."

"Too much has happened to you today."

"Take a good rest and recover."

Jiang Chuan left the main office building of the Qing City government agency and went back to his dormitory with the others who were waiting for him downstairs.

……

Headquarters in Yanjing.

After the questioning of the students from Fengtian and Yenching institutions concluded, there were naturally other meetings to be held.

As one of the institution's greatest scientific research achievements since its establishment, the Artificial Intelligence Nine Lines certainly has a reason not to be destroyed.

Especially after the initial voting ended, the continued use of the Nine Lines was almost a foregone conclusion.

After all, technology is innocent.

Nuclear bombs can cause the annihilation of countless lives, yet nuclear owners do not seem to give up their possession of them because of the "potential" disaster.

Compared to humans who control nuclear weapons, the artificial intelligence Jiu Xing is actually more stable.

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests and the return on investment.

Moreover, the main body of the Nine Lines Intelligence has fallen into a slumber; it is now merely a supercomputer with extremely powerful computing capabilities.

Especially given the current global awakening of memory, humanity faces a multitude of potential problems.

As the saying goes, "the more debts you have, the less burden you carry," and in the current situation of Jiuxing, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover... many of the future technology team's projects will rely on the powerful computing power of Nine Lines as a foundation.

In addition, there was a 12:12 result plus one abstention...

Following discussions at the meeting, senior management reached a consensus.

The current nine-line layout will be maintained, and the technical team will work on developing restrictions and potential future risks as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the third phase of training will proceed as scheduled.

……

Technical team.

The core room of the nine lines.

At this moment, the huge iron ball closed again, and the giant brain inside was once again covered by metal.

Wang Xuejun looked at the core of the Nine Lines and asked in a low voice, "Will the silence of the Nine Lines affect the development of the base in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Xu Shan shook his head: "There is no impact on computing power, but there will be some deviations in artificial intelligence assistance, which will mostly affect the progress."

"Tsk..."

Wang Xuejun exclaimed in astonishment:
"The deadline set by the higher-ups is also very tight..."

"Could you see if you can find another alternative solution to this need?"

"Our technical team can't afford to mess things up."

Xu Shan thought for a moment, then nodded: "I'll think of a way."

"It shouldn't be a problem, the database is still there."

Wang Xuejun nodded, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a rapid ringing of the telephone.

Jingle bell bell bell!

He immediately answered the phone: "What is it now, Lao Feng?"

"You haven't left work yet?"

Feng Xiaobo's slightly anxious voice came through: "Is there any data record left for level ten?"

Wang Xuejun paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

But he immediately became somewhat wary:

"you……"

"What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing Wang Xuejun say yes, Feng Xiaobo immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"Great!"

"This tenth level is very difficult. Now that there's no danger, we should make use of it!"

"The difficulty can be reduced a bit, and it can be offered as an additional challenge for students!"

"Jiang Chuan and his team worked together to defeat an alpha, giving other students the opportunity to challenge an alpha as well!"

"That's absolutely a great idea!"

"Before the third phase ends, let's replay Jiang Chuan's handling of the situation for them!"

"So that these children can also more clearly recognize some of the gaps!"

Wang Xuejun, however, did not understand Feng Xiaobo's excitement.

"Are you the devil?"

"This gap isn't something you can easily bridge; it can easily lead to feelings of frustration..."

"This isn't encouraging them; it's making it easier for them to give up, isn't it?"

Feng Xiaobo seems to have considered this point long ago:
"It's ok!"

"Let those who give up at this little setback give up."

Our goal is to train elites!

Wang Xuejun thought about it for a moment and realized that it made sense.

He said, "Anyway, it's your training team's business. If you have any requests, I'll cooperate."

“Replicating level 10 is not difficult, and the data and model are still available.”

"The tenth level should be officially released tomorrow or the day after."
