The Universe's First Hide and Seek

The military department invited the owner of the (replica) snail powder to the capital circle for a conversation.

The owner of this snail powder is just a young college student who just entered school this year.His school is okay on his planet, but above average for the league.Although he also claims to be an "enthusiast of optimizing the system", it can be understood from the conversation that he has not really mastered the technology displayed by "Jiaezan Snail Fan".

This bewildered young man was suddenly taken away by the military. When he arrived in the capital area, he had a conversation with him and was released again.People in the military saw that he didn't know anything about "Jiaozan Snail Fan", so they asked to check his artificial intelligence chip.

Young people are a little reluctant to agree.

After all, when he transformed the artificial intelligence, he was jumping back and forth on the verge of breaking the law, and he didn't want to expose it.But where does the military department care about his trivial matter?This young man didn't even know that his snail powder had been merged by another snail powder, so he still cared about those insignificant things.

The military saw his situation.

Therefore, the military department quietly made a decision, instead of completely copying the snail powder that can contact the wind of Shenwei, but completely stripping it off.Then return the young man's original snail powder to him, and if he can't, give him the latest "Interstellar Series".

In order to prevent young people from talking about nonsense in trivial matters, the military department even gave a place in the capital to go to university.Although it is not the top ones, compared to the original ones of the youth, it can be regarded as two or three steps up.When the young man heard the condition, he no longer cared about bargaining and agreed on the spot.

As a result, the snail powder was stripped.

It did not make a backup of the original snail noodles, so it cannot restore the original snail noodles.The military department didn't think much, and directly sent one of the latest "Interstellar Series" artificial intelligence, and the young man instantly forgot about the "child" he had personally transformed.

What happened in the military after that basically has nothing to do with this young man.

The young man successfully transferred to a new university and started a (thought he thought) new life from then on.The capital circle is extremely prosperous, and the standard of living is much higher. After seeing the new world, he suddenly felt that he was just a frog in the bottom of a well.

The generally high consumption level did not attract his attention, because his parents heard about his new school and said that they would let him go to it.

While welcoming the new campus life, his classmates were also full of curiosity about this young man who transferred schools halfway.

When someone asked the reason, he replied: "...it has something to do with my artificial intelligence, and I didn't expect to be able to transfer because of this exception."

He actually didn't know the reason, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by his classmates in the new environment, so he gave an ambiguous reply.Listening to his answer, others thought that his artificial intelligence was very powerful, so the university took a fancy to his ability and offered him an olive branch.

Some students were curious: "Your artificial intelligence is so powerful? What's your name?"

The young man replied: "It's called 'snail powder'."

Students: "... what?!"

***

Ling Yi quickly noticed...a place where Ling Xiao might appear.

An artificial intelligence optimization and upgrading competition held by a company on Starnet.

This kind of competition is not uncommon on the Star Network, but this competition is hosted by a relatively large company that is well-known in the league; prize.Ling Yi felt that if his object wanted to get close to him, this was a method that would not appear too deliberate.

This competition also attracted attention on the forum where "Jiaozan Snail Fan" became a hit.

Recently, "Jiaezan Snail Fan" has two topics on this forum. One is that he has not taken orders or spoken for a long time, and it feels like he has disappeared suddenly.Another is that someone claimed to have met "Jiaezan Snail Fan" himself in his school.Because the artificial intelligence "snail powder" is too good, this person was hired by the school exceptionally, and he just transferred in.What he said has a nose and an eye, which has led many people to really believe it.

As soon as this artificial intelligence competition came out, many people left messages under the post of "Jiaozan Snail Fan", asking if he would participate in this competition.

Of course, "Jiaezan Snail Powder" did not respond.

The military has "controlled" the snail powder, so how could it respond privately?If I have to say it, snail powder is currently undergoing in-depth testing by the military. If all goes well, it will start to take over the operation of some military systems step by step.

The only regret of the military is that the name "snail powder" is locked and cannot be changed.In the future, if rumors spread that the military department's system is called "snail powder", it would be really embarrassing for the military department and they don't know where to put it.

Let's hope the day it needs to be announced never comes.

Ling Yi didn't care about the snail fan "caught" by the military, but checked the entries submitted so far in the "System Optimization Competition" one by one.

All works are improved on the same system.Audiences who want to experience can choose a work on the star network, and then they can enter the corresponding scene to experience the corresponding system.In the first stage, the most advanced artificial intelligence of the host company will be used to screen the entries.After the preliminary screening in each direction, there will be only [-] works left, and the final ranking will be confirmed by the votes of the expert group and the audience of Xingwang.

On the deadline for submission, Ling Yi asked OX to quickly go through all the works.

No need to actually experience it, OX forcibly filtered the generated scene codes of all works, and stripped the artificial intelligence components from them for comparison.This is of course illegal in theory. In order to protect intellectual property rights, it is impossible for the host company to disclose these codes, otherwise it would not spend effort to generate corresponding experience rooms one by one.

Anyway, the OX number was quickly evaluated before the organizer's smart evaluation.

"Recommended work number XXXX." OX reported to Ling Yi, "This artificial intelligence does not use technology beyond the alliance's level, but it uses the peak technology in the alliance's current level, and it is well integrated with the scene. I think it is carefully crafted. The result of the calculation."

Ling Yi looked at the contestant's information: "The contestant's ID is 'I lost the handkerchief', and the title of the entry is 'Nothing'..."

——As expected it was him.

"Throwing the handkerchief" is a game that my partner played when he was a child. Simply put, it is a game of chasing and running.The title of the work "Nothing" does not mean that there is nothing, but that the technique is so meticulous that it is difficult to detect.

The most advanced artificial intelligence butler is ubiquitous and difficult to detect.

Ling Yi made a decision: "I'll go and have a look."

***

"It is monitored that your entry code is detected."

When Ling Xiao was browsing the second-hand market on Xingwang, the voice of snail fans suddenly came from his ears: "The detection smart phone has the identification code of the sponsor, which is a legal test."

"The deadline for the competition has just arrived. How could the organizer start testing quietly without even holding a ceremony? This is not in line with the rules of commercial promotion." Ling Xiao chuckled. Didn’t he do less? Last time he approved the skin of ‘Shenwei Zhifeng’?”

"You mean, someone illegally tested?"

"If you don't get discovered, it's not illegal." Ling Xiao smiled, "Isn't it the same as us?"

The snail fan suddenly said: "It is detected that your entry is being logged in for viewing. The login image of the visitor is 100% similar to that of Lieutenant General Ling Yi. Do you recognize his artificial intelligence login?"

"No, if he, you recognize his artificial intelligence, he will know immediately." Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea, "I will go in person and replace the artificial intelligence in the scene."

"Okay, login countdown 3, 2, 1..."

Ling Xiao suddenly stood in the corridor on the second floor of a small villa. He walked forward a few steps and stopped at the stairs.

Ling Yi was in the living room on the first floor, looking up at him.

Ling Xiao smiled suddenly: "You are back."

- "Nothing", is a lover sim.

***

Ling Yi couldn't tell whether the person he saw in front of him was calculated and synthesized based on the image in his brain at the moment he logged in, or it appeared for other purposes.

He knows that this is a virtual lover system, and the goal is to "create a perfect lover."But this "perfection" does not mean that everything goes according to the mind of the experiencer, but refers to the "human being" who is infinitely close to reality.

The highest state of this type of artificial intelligence is that while retaining supercomputing capabilities, the feedback to the outside world is no different from that of real humans.

According to the description of this experience room, the person in front of him who looks like "Ling Xiao" should have exactly the same personality as the lover in Ling Yi's memory.

Even though Ling Xiao may not be like this in reality.

"What are you doing there stupidly?"

Ling Xiao came down from the stairs and looked at Ling Yi suspiciously: "Put yourself in a military posture at the door? Did you do something to offend me?"

Ling Yi looked at him, and a ghost sent a sentence: "I miss you."

Ling Xiao: "..." Oh, how can I answer this!

"Don't you always like to watch me anytime and anywhere with the surveillance camera on?" Ling Xiao looked at the other person a little embarrassedly, "And we face each other every day, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Ling Xiao said these words as a test.

Hearing these words, Ling Yi realized that something was really wrong with this artificial intelligence.

——Or it can deeply scan people's brain waves...

—or it was himself!

As soon as the latter idea popped up, Ling Yi couldn't help but stepped forward, standing one step away from Ling Xiao.Ling Xiao didn't show any signs of panic or backing away. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What's wrong with you? It's too rare to be so surprised."

Ling Yi stared into his eyes, looking at his own reflection inside: "Is it you?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but talk cheaply: "Will you give me a heart so that I can move forward bravely?"

Ling Yi suddenly smiled.

He pinched Ling Xiao's chin, and kissed Ling Xiao under the other's surprised eyes.
