Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 789

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to the surveillance equipment in the room.

Whether it's visible or hidden in the corners, heaven knows how many surveillance devices are installed in this place.

The price of maintaining a low crime rate and near-zero serious crime rate in a large city is that everyone lives under invisible high-pressure surveillance.

Noah's bold remarks may have already been recorded by AI.

If that's the case, they might not even be qualified to participate in some special tasks that require confidentiality in the future, and they would be directly excluded in the first round of screening.

"Has Noah always been this brave?" Fio muttered to himself.

Noah was well aware of the AI's limits, so he didn't care at all: "I was just expressing my honest feelings after watching the movie, which is the most straightforward evaluation from a viewer. Since the AI ​​approved the film, it means that it was already prepared to accept all kinds of different opinions and wouldn't take action based on just a few words from us."

Fio frowned. "We still need to be careful. I don't want the group leader to be forced to disappear because of 'inappropriate remarks' right after I joined the research group."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Noah casually waved his hand, knowing full well that the AI ​​held a positive attitude towards the film, and its comments were insignificant. Edward, through this work, had naturally entered the AI's field of vision and would likely play an important role in the future.

The reason is also very simple.

Whether he likes it or not, Edward has become a spokesperson for the mainstream view that questions the safety of AI through this film.

The release of this film will likely raise concerns about the security of AI.

From now on, anyone who opposes AI will find it difficult to ignore this film, and Edward will become an indispensable part of this discussion.

This presents a perfect opportunity for AI to easily distinguish between people who hold different views on the topic.

Regardless of where AI goes in the future, this data will have extremely high value.

Noah got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room, looking down at the teachers and students below.

"If you're still worried, take a look at the following."

Fio walked over to Noah's side, and the others also crowded around to look out the window.

In the viewing area below, many people had already taken off their helmets.

Some people were worried and remained silent, while others were arguing heatedly with their companions, their faces flushed.

"A film is successful to a large extent if it can spark widespread discussion," Noah said calmly. "The reason it resonates with people is precisely because it touches on a certain social phenomenon or common concern."

"Even if this movie doesn't say it, other movies will."

"Staying silent doesn't mean the problem will disappear. The fact that it resonates widely proves that the problem does indeed exist."

Derek said, "I still believe it won't develop to the point depicted in the movie. After all, this movie was only able to be presented to us with the support of AI."

"By guiding everyone to discuss this issue, AI might be trying to solve it in this way."

Delayak appeared quite optimistic.

"It's a good movie, but I think it's too subjective. Humans and AI have a symbiotic relationship and can coexist harmoniously."

Fio shook his head, and Virgil remained silent.

Noah laughed and said, "Whether it happens or not has little to do with us. We just watched a movie. The director himself isn't in a hurry, the AI ​​isn't in a hurry, so why should we be?"

Instead of dwelling on these things, we should think carefully about our next research direction.

"The manned robot development I mentioned earlier needs to be put on the agenda. The sooner it's developed, the more students can test it out and find and fix bugs in time. Once the product is mature, we'll see if we can apply for the library's entrepreneurship support program and collaborate with Virgil's family to produce some prototype models to test the market response."

"We can use it ourselves before that. It will make any action much easier."

"Moreover, the AI ​​design for the testing phase of this project was very interesting. We can refer to this model when iterating on new products in the future, inviting some people to participate in the testing, both to test the product and to collect feedback."

"Those who perform exceptionally well or have unique insights can establish long-term partnerships, and our products can be provided to them free of charge."

Noah spoke one by one, clearly these plans had long been brewing in his mind.

"The team currently has eight people. Information gathering and optimization are your responsibility. I'll explain the specific arrangements later. Ava and I will focus on another research project—Miracle Works."

Not only the new members of the research group, but even Fio was surprised by the goal Noah set.

Aim directly at a miraculous feat?

Although it was unexpected, upon closer reflection it makes perfect sense.

Which combat professional hasn't fantasized about cultivating extraordinary skills?

Once you've witnessed the power of this technique and heard that no one has ever successfully mastered it, you'll naturally develop a desire to conquer it.

This time, however, the desire to conquer comes from a support class.

Fio did have the thought of dissuading him.

Noah's talent is undeniable; if he had focused his energy on conventional approaches, he would certainly have achieved a major breakthrough.

If you waste time getting stuck on unsolvable problems, it's easy to fall behind others.

Although Yuri seems to have successfully mastered the "Undying Cicada" technique, this is a unique achievement in the school's hundreds of years of history.

There's likely an element of luck involved, and it might also be related to his unique physical condition. It's simply not worth spending time on this.

Once the initial lead is gradually erased, it will be difficult to accumulate the same resource advantage as we have now.

Fio opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words of dissuasion.

Since you're new here, it's best to say as little as possible.

If it were him, upon seeing such mysterious techniques as extraordinary skills, he too would be unable to resist the urge to study them.

He might give up, but only after hitting a wall. He will absolutely not be content if he doesn't even try.

If even he is like this, then a genius like Noah will only be more persistent.

"Forget it," Fio thought, "it's pointless to say anything now. I'll step in and give Noah a way out when his research hits a deadlock."

However, this is a good opportunity to test the waters regarding future arrangements for oneself.

Thinking of this, Fio spoke up: "Since the team leader has brought this up, could you tell me what my role is in the team?"

Noah's gaze swept over Fio:

"I was planning to discuss the specific arrangements back in the lab, but since you're in such a hurry, it's fine to talk about it now."

"You will take over my position and continue the research on the Hound Type 1. The manned robot mentioned earlier will be led by you, and it will be the main research direction going forward. Of course, if you have better ideas, you can try them out."

"Huh? Me?" Fio pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes, it's you."

Fio shook his head repeatedly: "I really can't do it. I know myself very well. I only have a basic understanding of code, and I can't possibly do what you do."

Noah smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Hound Type 1's combination program has already been written, and it has the potential to grow. You just need to guide its development direction at crucial moments."

"This process requires time and patience, but it's not too difficult. I don't want to waste my energy on a project that's already not challenging enough, because that would make me lose interest."

"And the other members of the special task force will assist you. If you encounter any problems along the way, you can come to me anytime."

"However, I don't think it's necessary at this stage. You need to have confidence in yourself. You passed our entry assessment in the written test, and I recognized your breadth of knowledge and learning efficiency."

"If there are any parts you don't understand, you can use the learning function in the system to supplement your knowledge, which will be much more efficient than you imagine."

With that, Noah assigned Fio the authority of the Hound Type 1, a level of authority second only to his own.

"You can enable knowledge base sharing in the permission settings."

Following Noah's instructions, Fio clicked on the option. The pop-up page displayed a vast, intricate network of knowledge, as complex as a tangled ball of yarn.

As soon as he had this idea, the knowledge network magnified in his field of vision, and his perspective focused on a certain part of the network.

There are many luminous points of light intertwined here.

With just one glance, Fio understood the secret.

"I see, the knowledge nodes that have already been mastered are highlighted."

But what do these knowledge nodes specifically represent?

In his field of vision, there were also some nodes that kept flashing, seemingly trying to attract him to learn.

Noah's voice rang in his ear: "These flashing points of knowledge are necessary to understand the Hound Type I principle, but you haven't mastered them yet."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Fio's eyes.

It's not too much—it's too little.

How could a research project that received such high attention from AI, even surpassing the work of senior students, involve such a limited range of knowledge points?

Noah noticed his confusion and then manipulated the Hound Type 1 to re-select.

In the intricate network of knowledge, many dark knowledge nodes are hidden, replaced by a vast network of interconnected knowledge.

These networks intertwined and ultimately formed the final product, the Hound Type I.

Fio then realized that the knowledge network itself had quite a few nodes, but he had already mastered most of them during the previous written test.

No wonder he was able to take over the follow-up research and development work of the Hound Type 1.

Fio looked up at Noah seriously: "Was the written test in the project assessment something you pre-designed?"

Noah nodded: "Of course. The research group has just been established and urgently needs talent. Being able to select people with academic thinking and learning ability from combat professionals is a good thing for the research group."

"I didn't have high hopes, but I didn't expect to find you."

"I've seen your resume. To other combat professionals, you're a maverick, but to us, you're a talent we desperately need."

"You can find enjoyment in learning, and given that you are a combat professional with unquestionable combat talent, you are simply the most suitable leader for the Hound Type 1 project."

It turned out to be the case.

Fio glanced at the other members of the group.

Noah had already guessed what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee they will all cooperate with you."

"As for their abilities, you can rest assured. The learning function of the Hound Type 1 is also available to them. Anyone can complete the assigned task; it's just a matter of how much time it takes. Given enough time, anyone can master the necessary knowledge to solve the problem."

"The key to advancing a research project lies in talent and inspiration."

"And you have both of those qualities. I have high hopes for you, Senior Fio."

Fio wasn't one to hesitate. Noah's explanation was so detailed, clearly indicating he had planned ahead and made thorough preparations. To refuse under these circumstances would be utterly unreasonable.

As a combat professional, one should naturally have a fearless heart.

Participating in a project is good, but wouldn't it be even better to be the one leading it?

"Since the team leader has said so, I won't refuse. I will do my best in anything I can do."

He turned to the other members of the research group and cupped his hands in greeting: "Dear juniors, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Noah's explanation of the pros and cons was not only for Fio's ears, but also to make the other members of the research team understand that while talent and inspiration are key, they also meant that they still need to grow and accumulate experience.

Everyone knew in their hearts that, although they were somewhat unwilling, they were indeed not up to the task of independently managing the project.

With that in mind, the members of the elite team knew how to deal with the new senior: "You're too kind, senior. We'll need your guidance in the future."

Noah looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Our elite team will not stop here; there will be many more challenges in the future. While completing the projects, you should also focus on your own growth. There will be a time for you to truly shine in the future."

……

"Milo, Milo! Your homeroom teacher wants to see you. You've got some nerve! Even though Mr. Shin-chan is a loyal teacher, I can't explain to my superiors that you haven't done your tests or handed in your homework! You should at least draw a picture to make up for it..."

"Hey, Milo, are you there?"

"That's strange. The AI's task tracking shows he's definitely in the room, so why isn't anyone responding?"

The student in charge of making the notification scratched his head and knocked on the door again.

Still no one answered.

He pressed his ear to the door and listened carefully; he could hear faint rustling sounds coming from inside.

"Milo, if you don't answer, I'm coming in!"

He turned the door lock: "For example, if I come in, you're not here..."

The moment he pushed open the door, all the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

The next second, he even forgot what he was going to say.

What unfolded before him was a scene he had never imagined.

The curtains in the room were drawn, and only a dim lamp provided a faint light source.

Everything in the room was just like in a regular student dormitory, except that the entire room was covered in paintings.

The walls, ceiling, floor, tables, chairs, beds... all surfaces are covered with dense patterns painted with different brushstrokes and different paints.
