Chapter 166 NO.00a5: Two Requirements

"In other words, there are only eight days left..."

After sending Booker back, Jiang Zhou said so.

The construction of the geothermal power station takes about eight days, and after that, I only need to reprint a pair of "Jiang Zhou"'s body with a universal printer, and then I can complete the verification and unlock the information in it.

However, Jiang Zhou will need to complete the cognition of the mental model and the stand-in program online in the "City of Sages". In other words, during these eight days, I must continue to stay in the abyss and dark net, and cannot just return to the basic reality.

After all, after returning this time, his identity will become "Hecate Steed". At that time, as long as the executives of Pluto's deep dive do not lose their minds, then for a long time, he will not have the opportunity to dive again.

"There are still eight days..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou sighed again.

I don't know if there will be any problems with my body in reality during these eight days.

Maybe those high-level executives of Pluto's deep dive still felt that the danger was too great after a long discussion, and they were dealt with humanely. After all, there were many people who wanted to kill themselves before, and they were willing to leave him a The leadership of Shenglu is only one Perse Fanny.

I can only hope that they will not do this during these eight days.

Otherwise, before unlocking the information to understand the truth, it would be too dramatic to die directly because the body in the base reality was destroyed.

he thought.

But even though I think so, it's not something I can control...

If you think about the benefits, nothing happened in the first half month, so there is no reason to wait another eight days for something to happen.

He had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

"It's better to restore my 'ashes' first."

Immediately, Jiang Zhou muttered to himself.

Now, Charon has not fulfilled his reward, and has stitched back Jiang Zhou's substitute program.

With a sigh, he started the program. Immediately, he transported himself back to the previous location along the original path.

The surrounding scenery swayed for a while, and Jiang Zhou returned to the dock where he entered the Narcissus Plain.

At this moment, on the wharf that seemed to have been devastated by a violent storm, there was only Hecate, the goddess of the moon, who was in a bit of a mess, and stayed there alone.

Jiang Zhou stared blankly at the other party's appearance as if he had just been fished out of the river, and opened his mouth, but finally resisted not asking.

The graphic image of dark web AI is often related to their current state. As for the other party's embarrassed appearance, there is a high probability that they were attacked by some kind of existence before.

As for what kind of attack exists... At this moment, Jiang Zhou has an answer that is not suitable for confirmation.

Anyway, they were the ones who first used their special abilities to help rescue Christie. If he suffered damage due to this reason, it would be impossible to throw the blame on himself.

The villain in his heart is whistling and squinting at the sky at the moment.

And besides that...

Jiang Zhou walked towards each other and looked around - he didn't find Charon and Christie.

It seems that they should have left early.

What should I do with my own reward?

Jiang Zhou muttered.

On the other side, seeing Jiang Zhou appearing so suddenly, Hecate didn't show any surprise on his face. She just put down the extinguished torch in her hand, and then took out something wrapped in a wrinkled coarse cloth from her soaked robe.

She handed this thing directly to Jiang Zhou who walked in front of her.

To be honest, if it weren't for the mist surrounding the other party's soaked robe, Jiang Zhou really didn't know where to look.

However, it's just a graphical interface, does AI have such a thing as shame?

Or is this just a product of this AI that takes human emotions as a research topic and tries to imitate them?

Jiang Zhou thought to himself when he took the ball.

"This is the reward Mr. Charon entrusted me to hand over to you... The contract has been completed."

However, Hecate still said so expressionlessly.

Cold, heavy, rough.

This was the first feeling when I got the ball.

Jiang Zhou picked it up, and then opened the rag—wrapped inside was a weather-beaten hammer and chisel.

He looked up at Hecate suspiciously.

"In it, the mental model and substitute program of this Pygmalion path adjuster are stored. As long as you fulfill his long-cherished wish, he will repair your substitute program for you."

Pygmalion, king of Cyprus in Greek mythology. He is good at carving, but he doesn't like women in the world. Therefore, the king used ivory to create an ideal ideal wife image for himself. Then, as in so many fairy tales, the ivory sculpture really came to life with his consummate technique and passionate emotion and devotion.

Although he didn't know what the other party's specific abilities were, Jiang Zhou vaguely felt that the promotion path named after this king would probably be very popular with patients with "pathological technology fetish with social disorder syndrome".

After all, who wouldn't want the villain they invested their money and love to come back to life?

However, now is not the time to talk about this.

Jiang Zhou immediately pulled back his thoughts.

"So, I have to fulfill this guy's long-cherished wish first?"

Jiang Zhou was speechless for a while.

The co-author has done so many things before, or is it just a down payment? Do you have to continue?

This situation reminded Jiang Zhou of some VRRPG games he had played in the past - playing the role of the presiding judge who saved the world, but was called around to run errands. A quest reward can only be redeemed by completing a series of quests.

Fortunately, Hecate shook her head:

"This craftsman's long-cherished wish is very simple, and you can fulfill it right away."

"What is it?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

"Total death... Except for those who break through the limits of their minds, or those who 'walk on the path of Theseus', few people can bear to completely get rid of the body of reality and live in the upper world in the form of pure data.

"After all, your human thinking mode is not suitable for this place from the very beginning."

The other party answered in this way.

After experiencing the "City of Sages", Jiang Zhou nodded in agreement. Then, he repacked the hammer and chisel and put them away.

He saw that Hecate seemed to have something to say, so he was not in a hurry to start repairing it right now.

And the goddess of the moon, who covered her graceful figure with mist, took back the extinguished torch and said:

"According to the previous contract, can you complete the display of 'hate and anger'?"

Regarding this question, Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment—as if he had just thought of such a problem, and was a little embarrassed.

I was in the City of Sages before, against the citizens there, against the Dionysus Bureau and whatnot, but I did not feel any anger or hatred—when you are facing a group, not a specific person. Compared with the strong emotions of "hate and anger", what can be felt is more like "pity" or "despair".

"Sorry, I haven't..."

He said so.

But the other party shook his head directly, blocking the words behind him:

"You don't need to feel uneasy about this. If you present it deliberately, it will not achieve the effect. But if there is such a day, please call my false name and let me witness."

"OK."

Jiang Zhou nodded, and then he began to feel that the other party asked him for help in this matter, and it was really the wrong person.

Hate and anger are more of an effect on smaller interpersonal relationships, and do not often represent a lack of reason-and this is not the field that Jiang Zhou is good at.

After thinking about it, he only had one experience of reckless anger in his life - it might be difficult to reproduce it.

Of course, the small range of emotion does not mean that the impact is small. In history, there are too many things that changed the course of history because of "every man's anger".

Jiang Zhou originally thought that the other party would continue to urge him to complete the contract as soon as possible. However, after he nodded, Hecate mentioned another thing to him:

"After your substitute is repaired, you still need to rely on my guidance to return to the base reality, right?"

Jiang Zhou nodded.

This is indeed the case. If I want to return to the "Tartaros" of the base reality, I still need the help of the other party to open the path.

But with such a small matter, the other party should be able to directly satisfy himself, right?

Jiang Zhou thought shamelessly.

Otherwise, why did you run so hard to save yourself?

However, the facts did not develop as he thought.

"Then, in exchange for helping you open the path, I have two more requirements for you to fulfill."

Two more requirements?

Because it was different from what he imagined, Jiang Zhou asked nervously:

"any request."

There was some lack of confidence in his voice—but there was nothing he could do about it, after all, no matter how excessive demands he made on him, he had to hold his nose and admit it.

Otherwise, he won't be able to go back in his life.

However, the two requirements the other party gave to him were surprisingly simple.

"One, when you command that Pygmalion Path Adjuster, let him also carve a statue for me.

"Secondly, add my real name to the list of the 'City of Sages'."

Hecate, who was shrouded in mist and seemed to be faintly visible, said so.

Things were not difficult, but Jiang Zhou still asked worriedly:

"May I ask, what are you planning to do?"

When he asked so directly, he didn't intend to get an answer.

But what I didn't expect was that the other party answered very calmly:

"I want to temporarily open a passage to the lower realm of the physical layer through the medium of the 'Sage City' in the 'Narcissus Plain'."

Use the "City of Sages" to open a channel?

Jiang Zhou was stunned.

If he remembers correctly and the old news materials are true, the last time she opened a channel, she almost blew up the entire moon colony.
