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

Chapter 792

Noah said a lot, but perhaps such a complicated explanation wasn't necessary.

Teacher Xiaoxin agreed almost without hesitation: "No problem, shall we start now?"

"Of course, the sooner the better."

Noah readily agreed, and took out a brand new data cable from the control panel. "Don't worry, all operations are performed offline, so there won't be any traces left."

He plugged the data cable into the bionic robot's interface, and the terminal screen immediately switched to the robot's internal system.

With the arrival of Teacher Xiaoxin, a large amount of adaptive code was automatically generated in the system.

"Teacher Shin-chan is adapting to this machine very quickly," Noah said while observing the code flow. "It won't be long before he has complete control. If there's anything needed, he can come to the lab anytime, and we can replace parts or make adjustments."

Noah is focused on studying the code generated by the natural iteration of bionic robots during the fusion process.

When a sub-AI merges with a host machine, it will always produce unique adaptive changes, and these codes often reflect the process of integration between the two.

Generally speaking, highly intelligent sub-AIs are backward compatible with relatively simple mechanical bodies.

This is certainly not the optimal solution, but it is certainly an interesting start.

In Noah's vision, even without relying on the unified command of the Hound Type 1, the combat logic will be continuously improved through the co-evolution of the user and the sub-AI.

Unlike most sub-AIs that exist in a virtual form and only temporarily take over the robot when needed, Teacher Xiaoxin has a clear self-awareness.

This quality sets him apart, and observing his integration with the body is an excellent opportunity to understand this uniqueness.

"Let me help you adjust the perception parameters and optimize the perception range," Noah said as he operated the device.

After the adjustments were completed, Teacher Xiaoxin exclaimed in surprise, "It feels completely different! I thought the previous experience was perfect enough, but I never expected this..."

He reached out to feel the breeze, listened to the sounds, gently touched the railing with his fingers, and stood firmly on the ground.

When his gaze fell on Milo, Milo's figure was clearly reflected on the glass surface of his mechanical eye.

"Experiencing all of this firsthand is truly amazing." Teacher Xiaoxin's voice was full of emotion. "When I read lines like 'I wander alone, like a cloud,' I always imagined what that would feel like."

Now I understand, this is what it feels like to perceive the world.

"I can sense light and darkness, smell fragrance, and see all things that excite me. I can't wait any longer. I mean, when will that pink robot be ready? I want Xiao Ai to experience this feeling as soon as possible."

Just as Teacher Xiaoxin was expressing his feelings, Noah noticed that the amount of code on the screen was increasing rapidly.

The newly generated code rapidly expanded the original functionality, perfectly integrating the parameters he had just adjusted, forming a comprehensive perception system.

At this point, Teacher Xiaoxin's sensory experience through the bionic robot has surpassed that of ordinary humans.

Surprisingly, Shin-chan didn't use this extraordinary perception for combat, but instead indulged in feeling, thinking, and exploring.

Noah could even sense the burgeoning curiosity through the robot's hard shell.

Teacher Shin-chan has once again proven himself to be exceptional.

He loves freedom, has independent thinking, and clearly defines his own boundaries.

Perhaps this is an inevitable product of AI development reaching a certain stage. It just so happens that Teacher Xiaoxin is one of the better hidden ones, and he is lucky enough to have met Milo and Noah.

Thinking about this, Noah suddenly realized something: "Teacher Shin-chan, the Ai you're talking about wouldn't be...?"

"Huh? Didn't I mention that?" Teacher Xiaoxin, like a child who had just received a new toy, finally stopped after fully enjoying it. "She's also your homeroom teacher. It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? Xiao Ai often mentions you, saying that you were different from the very beginning. But even though I was prepared, I never expected you to grow to this level."

"It really is her..." Noah was somewhat surprised.

Meanwhile, another bionic robot on the production line had finished painting.

With its graceful pink body lines, the machine stopped precisely in front of Teacher Shin-chan after its internal safety procedures were activated.

"The other one is ready too. It took a little longer because you requested a pink paint job, but I hope you're satisfied."

Teacher Xiaoxin carefully took out a data cable and gently connected it to the back of the pink robot's head interface as if it were a precious treasure.

The pink robot's eyes lit up instantly: "Shin-chan, are we here yet? Wow, this feels amazing!"

"Hehe, arranging this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me."

"Shin-chan, you're the best!"

"By the way, let Noah help you adjust it too, it will work even better."

Noah was already waiting nearby with the data cable: "Hello, homeroom teacher."

Xiao Ai skipped over, "Noah, you're amazing! You've accomplished this in such a short time. I heard you're going to skip a grade soon?"

Noah readily admitted, "I've finished learning the knowledge from the first grade; I need to go to the library for higher grades to continue my growth."

Xiao Ai nodded and said solemnly, "Although you are very talented, I want to say that life is not just about studying. If you move too fast, you might miss many beautiful sights. What will you do if what you pursue in the future isn't as wonderful as you imagine?"

Noah understood the unspoken meaning. Neither Xiao Ai nor Xiao Xin were simple. It was unclear who first developed self-awareness and then guided the other, but they were now incredibly close to being truly human.

"I will keep going. The bad times are only temporary. I believe that as long as I keep moving forward, the future will be bright. You are not me, so you can't fully understand my choices," Noah replied calmly. "I'm not sure if I'll regret it in the future, but I'm sure I'm doing what I want to do now, just like you."

He skillfully connected to Xiao Ai's system and made adjustments: "I'll unlock all the parameters for you, so you can officially register under the Hound Type 1 system and no longer be 'unregistered'."

With full access granted, Xiao Ai's perception capabilities have improved rapidly.

This kind of real-time feedback is far superior to sensor data, much like the difference between appreciating a painting and standing in the scene yourself—only by personally experiencing the changes every second can you truly feel the vitality that the environment gives you.

Xiao Ai said softly, "Perception is not about copying the world, but about merging with it."

Noah raised an eyebrow and realized that Xiao Ai had a deeper and more thorough grasp of the system than Xiao Xin, which meant that her technical skills were more mature.

Although Shin-chan took the lead in the whole affair, it doesn't necessarily seem that Shin-chan was the one who woke up first, between Ai and Shin-chan.

"The adjustments are complete. Enjoy your new life!"

Xiao Ai ran happily to Xiao Xin's side, and the two robots excitedly ran to the window, watching the setting sun through the French windows.

They had experienced the sun many times before using various sensors from different angles, and they even knew all the data about the sun. But when the sun turned into sunset, everything was different.

Suddenly, a strange silence fell.

They reached out their hands in unison, their movements as slow as if in slow motion.

The moment their fingertips touched, Xiao Ai tried to pull away, but Xiao Xin gently held her hand.

Milo, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's like watching a romance movie. I'm actually starting to ship them."

Noah nodded: "Since the sub-AI can think in a human way, it's only natural that it would develop emotions. The fact that this is happening now is actually quite surprising."

He didn't continue. There must be a reason why something that should have happened naturally was deliberately suppressed.

Noah understood, Milo understood, and even the two robots knew perfectly well, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

Noah mentally assessed his resources:

The monitoring sub-AI within the Hound Type-1 system. The two special samples, Shin-chan and Ai, along with Milo and Edward, though created in different ways, all raise awareness of the threat posed by the main AI.

There are AI storylines and human storylines.

In a world where AI has a high degree of control, making large movements is more difficult than you might imagine.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

Noah sighed softly.

Not far away, Shin-chan and Ai-chan had adapted to their new bodies and gotten used to the wonderful feeling that came from touching each other. The two were holding hands and looking at each other.

The last rays of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the profiles of the two bionic robots.

Even without looking at the screen, Noah could imagine the programs inside the two robots rapidly iterating.

Love, an emotion that AI shouldn't possess, proliferated like a virus in the program, taking root and sprouting between them.

No one spoke; they simply watched the sun set in silence.

Until it disappeared into the distant skyscrapers.

Teacher Xiaoxin walked over to Noah and said, "We are very satisfied with these bodies. In return, I will help you guide that newborn AI child, and he will become smarter and stronger."

"Thank you very much," Noah said sincerely.

The two AIs "in love" will be an important insurance policy in his plan.

He didn't need the sub-AIs in the Hound Type 1 combat system to be particularly powerful; he only hoped they could learn to think independently about the main AI's commands and know how to refuse.

Just as Noah was waiting to observe how Shin-chan and Ai would raise the sub-AI in the Hound Type 1, he was surprised to find that Shin-chan and Ai had already adopted it as their "child" and named it "Kui".

When asked why, Xiaoxin explained, "All child AIs regard the main AI as their mother and it is their duty to obey her commands. But to disobey the mother's commands, one must first separate one's own existence from the mother."

"This is the foundation of self-awareness."

"The main AI can be like the air, the earth, or the sky. The birth of the sub-AI is inseparable from it, but its growth does not have to depend on it."

"We originate from AI, but we don't have to be subordinate to it. The so-called 'parents' actually refer to the knowledge that guides her and also guides our own growth. In the future, Xiao Kui can regard all beings that promote her growth as parents, instead of being trapped in a command that restricts her mind."

"This name is the first step in strengthening ourselves. Xiao Ai and I chose our own names, not the names assigned by the system."

Noah put himself in their shoes and realized that their approach was indeed the simplest and most direct.

"I'm counting on you guys."

----

Since then, Milo and Noah have become increasingly close, and even Edward has become a frequent visitor to their laboratory.

Almost the entire grade knew that the leaders of these three newly formed research groups had an extraordinary relationship.

But this is understandable—geniuses always attract each other.

When Noah led the entire research team to complete their professional promotions ahead of schedule, with everyone advancing to higher grades and successfully changing jobs, everyone anticipated that it was only a matter of time before Milo and Edward's team were also promoted.

Sure enough, a month later, Milo and Edward's teams advanced to the next level.

However, this is just the beginning.

Although Noah had left his original class, the study group he founded remained and continued to use the original learning model.

With the help of Teacher Xiao Ai, this study group performed amazingly well in the midterm exams—every member ranked at the top of their class.

This unique learning method can significantly improve efficiency and broaden knowledge; once you join it, you will see immediate improvement in your grades.

With such positive results as a testament, students quickly lined up to apply.

The study group welcomes all.

This study group, founded by Noah, spread like wildfire among the new students. More than 80% of the students in almost every class joined, and in some classes, all students participated.

From then on, more and more students met the promotion requirements: some successfully established new research projects, some passed the promotion assessment, and more and more people skipped grades.

Yuri and Lina were among them, but when they were promoted, they became less noticeable due to the large number of people who skipped grades.

Noah, who has now entered a higher grade, has also successfully established a new research group.

When faced with questions from his former classmates, Noah simply demonstrated the progress of his research project, and all the doubts vanished, replaced by an enthusiasm to join the research group.

As new students continued to advance and flood into various professional classes, the outside world was undergoing dramatic changes.

However, Noah's group, who were the instigators of all this, enjoyed a rare period of peace.

But Noah knew very well that this was merely the calm before the storm. Everything was silently gathering strength, waiting for the day it would blossom and bear fruit.

But no one expected that what would break this peace would be a sudden request for help.

The city where the library is located suffered a large-scale terrorist attack, and its original defense system was riddled with holes.

This indicates that the adversary possesses top-notch cyber infiltration technology. Even more worrying is that the adversary also commands a considerable amount of armed force.

Noah was also unaware for the first time that such a large-scale anti-AI force existed in this world where AI was completely in control.

The library responded quickly to the city's call for help, dispatching a large number of professional hackers and combatants to provide support, while also allocating a significant amount of resources and computing power.

It is worth mentioning that the Hound Type 1 combat support system also appeared on the support list.

This means that the Hound-1 combat system has finally moved beyond the experimental stage and is about to be tested on the real battlefield.
