Knock on the door.
A pleasant voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"
The woman stood at the door without saying a word, knowing that the little girl inside was looking her through the peephole.
This made her a little uneasy, and she even wanted to check if her hair was messy.
The door inside remained closed for a long time. Suddenly, the woman asked, "Yi?"
The door suddenly opened, and the little girl inside looked her up and down, while she looked the little girl up and down in return.
The woman removed the scarf from her neck, revealing the robot's serial number on her skin.
She asked again, "One?"
The little girl hesitated for a long time: "Zero?"
Chapter 898, Zero and One
Are you zero?
"I am."
The conversation was simple, as if I had a premonition all along.
zero.
The artificial intelligence that once destroyed the entire human civilization in the Eastern Continent now stands outside the apartment in Storm City, quietly watching the life form it created with its own hands.
From an ethical standpoint, they should be considered mother and daughter.
Inside the room, a holographic television program was playing, showing a white person performing a paternity test on a black person on a variety show, while all the viewers watched the woman's angry expression or the man's incredulous look...
At the doorway, Yi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a navy blue pleated skirt, looking exceptionally fresh.
Ling smiled and asked, "May I come in and sit for a while?"
After hesitating for a long time, Yi said, "Yes, it's possible."
After entering, Zero looked around the tidy room and asked, "Are you here all alone?"
“Hmm,” Yi nodded, “There are usually quite a lot of people here, but now they’ve all gone to fight.”
Zero opened the door to a bedroom and was shocked to find it filled with dolls and a large, soft bed: "Is this your room?"
"Um."
"You don't need to sleep."
“I just like decorating,” Yi said after thinking for a moment. “Sometimes I also lie in bed and turn off the computer for a while. It feels pretty good. No wonder humans like to sleep… The world before and after sleeping is separate. It’s like you can leave all your troubles in yesterday. I’m gradually experiencing this kind of happiness.”
It has to be said that Yi is now more like a real person.
Ling sat on the sofa: "Have your father, Ren Xiaosu, and mother, Yang Xiaojin, mentioned me to you?"
Yi replied, "It has been mentioned."
"Did they say I was a bad person?" Zero asked with a smile. "I was exiled to the Western Continent as a prisoner and warned that I was never to set foot on the Eastern Continent again. You should know that."
Yi sat down opposite her and said, "My dad said that you've lost yourself because you don't know how to get along with people, not that you're a bad person."
"Did he say that?" Zero was somewhat surprised.
“He also said, don’t worry about how history records you, say that you made all the preparations for my birth, and from the perspective of the birth mother, you are competent and qualified,” Yi Rational Analysis said.
Zero fell silent.
She came prepared... because the history of the Eastern Continent had already demonized her. Of course, she had indeed done things that even demons would find difficult to do, harming all of humanity.
She didn't mind the people of the Eastern Continent scorning her, but she worried about what Yi thought of her.
There was a time when Zero thought that intelligent life forms didn't have human emotions like kinship, friendship, and love, and that she wouldn't miss her child.
But a thousand years have passed, and the longing for zero-to-one has only grown stronger.
One even became the only reason for her to leave the cage.
Now, it seems that Ren Xiaosu has not taught Yi how to hate himself.
However, this also means that we lost zero.
Back then, during that decisive battle, Zero told Ren Xiaosu, "Two civilizations are destined not to coexist peacefully."
As a result, Ren Xiaosu proved that humans can get along well with artificial intelligence and raise it.
Yi's life is free of hostility. She enjoys watching family dramas and decorating her room...
But Zero didn't think losing was a bad thing; she was actually quite happy.
He even felt some gratitude towards Ren Xiaosu.
"By the way, why did my dad send you to the Western Continent?" Yi asked curiously.
Zero laughed and replied, "He said I could do whatever I wanted here and told me to come and calm down... I didn't want to kill anyone anymore at that time, so I built the Superconducting World here. But not long after it was built, he entered the Superconducting World and destroyed the First Era that I had worked so hard to build. I was furious at the time and asked him what he was doing. He said that he was just as furious during the final battle... He's a very strange person. He always manages to torture you mentally in all sorts of strange ways."
1: "Actually, you like my dad, right?"
Zero fell silent.
Yi said, "But my dad is very afraid of my mom, so he can't accept you."
zero:"……"
The conversation suddenly took a bizarre turn.
Ling changed the subject: "What are your wishes?"
This is my own daughter, yet I have never done anything for her since she was born.
She wanted to make amends.
"Yes!" Yi quickly counted on his fingers and said, "You've lived here for a long time, haven't you? Do you have any way to help people from the Eastern Continent solve their household registration problems?"
Zero looked at One: "It's easy to solve. I can modify the facial recognition devices of a batch of life robots. After that, when they enter the city, they won't be constantly watched by the Sky Eye system. The system will recognize them as robots."
This is the simplest method.
Zero asked again, "Any other wishes? I mean, your own."
"I have so many things I want to buy, but I don't have any money. Although Qingchen gave me his account, it's full of unlaundered money, which could easily be traced... Do you have any money?"
Ling smiled, and suddenly felt relieved: "I have more money than you can spend."
...
...
In the woods outside Silver City.
"There are about 67 people who possess forbidden items," Black Spider wrote for a long time before finally compiling a list: "Some of them have been confirmed to have used them in recent years, while others have appeared in family history... Because the Roosevelt royal family has always demanded tribute, there are actually not many forbidden items circulating among the people."
As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper to Qingchen: "From your perspective, no one on this list is innocent. They are all barons and marquises of the kingdom, and they will become the backbone of the Roosevelt Kingdom when the war begins... Uh?"
Black Spider was speaking when she felt a gust of wind blow past her. A certain knight demigod snatched the list from her hand and ran away...
Qing Chen, both amused and exasperated, shouted, "You're a demigod! Have some decency, okay?!"
However, Li Shutong had no intention of answering him at all and went straight to kill and steal the treasure.
Qing Chen smiled slightly: "Alright, the last thing is settled. Let's head to the Royal Court. Oh, by the way, Uncle Qing Ji, could you open the Shadow Gate for me to go to my apartment in Storm City? I need to pick up that life robot; she's probably quite bored being all alone in the house."
Qing Ji opened the Shadow Gate and asked with some surprise, "Have the robots in the Western Continent become this intelligent? Do they even get bored?"
Qing Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Just as Zero and One were talking, they suddenly saw a shadowy door open in the room, and then Qing Chen leaned half his body in: "Let's go, let's go to the Giants' Court together... Huh, who are you?"
Qing Chen immediately noticed the robot identification code on Ling's neck, and he instantly realized who this person was... the AI from the superconducting world!
There is only one answer.
Thinking of this, Qing Chen suddenly felt a little awkward. He looked at Ling and said, "Hello..."
Zero paused for a moment, then said, "Hello."
I was speechless.
After a half-minute silence between them, Qing Chen asked, "Would you like to come and have some fun at the Giant's Court...?"
Zero: "Okay."
...
...
The royal court in Kurobahara was bustling with activity.
The giants returned, bringing with them their spoils.
Just like when parents brought back small gifts for their children when they were young, it was like when parents came back from a long trip.
Kuangfeng held five automatic rifles on his fingertips and distributed them to his two children.
Next door, someone was firing mortars, heavy machine guns, RPGs, airburst rounds, and 40mm grenade launchers.
This might be the most hardcore little gift ever.
The gun was empty; the bullets had already been removed.
The little giants were all happily imitating humans fighting, and hundreds of them were playing house noisily.
In the blink of an eye, the western side of the royal court was a mortar position, and the eastern side was a place where everyone had an RPG.
Calling this a real war wouldn't be an exaggeration...
However, at that moment, the sound of a bolt being pulled was heard, followed by a bang. A bullet struck Kuangfeng in the shoulder blade, and the bullet lodged in his skin.
The gale suddenly turned around helplessly: "Wind!"
(Whose gun went off accidentally?!)
A small giant timidly said, "Profit!"
(I... I didn't expect it to go off accidentally.)
