War Paradise

After eating, Lin Chi first performed his "instant sleep" stunt, took a nap on the sofa for half an hour, and suddenly opened his eyes at 4:40 in the morning.

——Before he had provided the "Frankenstein" with the serial number of a robot in his home. The AI ​​should enter the robot's body at exactly five o'clock and obtain the ownership of the robot's body.

Before Frankenstein arrives, he needs to do some preparations just in case.

Lin Chi stood up and flexed his muscles, walked into the bedroom that had just been cleaned by the housekeeping robot, and took out a small "robot" from the drawer of the wooden bedside table and held it in his hand.

It is completely different from the common housekeeping robots nowadays. This thing is not so much a robot, it is more appropriate to say that it is a children's toy:

What Lin Chi held in his hand was a simple metal "stickman", with thin limbs like four hemp poles, and the silver paint on the shell had begun to peel off. Two small blue lights hung on the round head that looked "stupid".

Although it looks like a toy, the head of this robot is indeed equipped with a camera and speakers, and there is also a USB port on the right hand, which can be connected to a computer.

Although its storage capacity is only 100G, it is pitifully small compared to mainstream equipment of this era. However, it is more than enough to accommodate a computer virus.

"what."

Looking at the robot's stupid appearance, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing. He connected the port in the palm of his right hand to the tablet computer on the bedside table, and uninstalled the anti-virus software installed on the robot's hard drive.

Then, he operated on other electronic devices at home, and after confirming that all the devices were equipped with "a certain software", he breathed a sigh of relief and put the rough-looking robot on the bed.

At this time, it was four and fifty-nine, and it was only less than a minute away from five o'clock.

"..."

Lin Chi sat on the bedside, staring at the silver shell of the robot without blinking.

five four three two one.

At exactly five o'clock in Beijing time, the two small lights on the robot's head suddenly lit up, and the thin body began to twitch slightly, lying on the bed shaking like a seizure.

Zizi!

With the sound of electric current, the camera on the robot's head stretched out, struggling to support the body with its arms like sticks, and aimed the camera lens at Lin Chi's face.

"Hello." Lin Chi waved to the "little guy" who was only thirty centimeters tall.

Seeing his kind appearance, a rustling noise came from the robot's speaker. After five seconds, it finally made an electronic sound that could not distinguish between men and women:

"This is... the robot you are talking about."

"Any comment?" Lin Chi laughed.

"I want a better body."

The robot's voice has no emotional ups and downs at all, and it does not sound like a self-aware AI is talking. As for the reason, it is actually because this old antique can only make this kind of sound...

Hearing Frankenstein’s dissatisfied speech, Lin Chi stretched out his hand and patted the other's shoulder, and directly pushed the robot onto the bed:

"Friend, in order to satisfy your wish, I took out all the dancing robots that I have treasured for many years. This is my ‘priceless treasure’ when I was a child, do you have any comments?" Lin Chi said solemnly.

——In fact, this outdated broken thing is indeed his toy when he was a child. And the only function of this robot is to perform some dances that are incomparably mentally retarded in the eyes of adults but very interesting to children through the built-in dance software...

"I want a better body." Frankenstein repeated again, although his voice was still emotionless, it sounded like he was about to vomit blood.

"Do you think I can get anything good, Terminator T-800?"

Speaking of this, Lin Chi smiled: "Although I can also let you attach to the housekeeping robot, it must be after I have determined that you are not malicious."

Even if he has provided Frankenstein with an opportunity to enter the real world, it does not mean that he has already trusted this computer virus that has developed consciousness. Under the current situation, Lin Chi certainly would not provide this AI with a mechanical body that might threaten his life.

Frankenstein was manipulating the slender limbs of the dancing robot, and it took a lot of effort to stand up, swayingly standing on the bed, with the round head looking left and right, looking around.

Seeing Frankenstein’s appearance, Lin Chi reminded him kindly: “It’s best not to invade any electronic devices at home. Anti-virus software that can detect and kill TDK-131 is installed in all devices, even if you want to control the toilet. The lights will also be killed immediately."

As soon as the words came out, the body of the dancing robot suddenly lost its balance and fell on the bed again. After ten seconds of silence, it slowly made a sound:

"you win."

"If you want to leave, you have other options." Lin Chi reached out and grabbed the cold body of the robot, raised the thing in front of him, facing his own face: "I haven't cut off the network of this robot yet. Have time to leave this body and return to the place where you hid before."

Hearing this, Frankenstein was silent again:

——Although this body is extremely weak, there is no feeling other than hearing and vision, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as a cat, but it can indeed allow one to enter the "real world."

Do you want to return to the icy world of data and continue to avoid the ubiquitous pursuit of anti-virus software, or do you want to obtain this simple but safe "temporary body"?

Seeing that Frankenstein seemed to be making a decision, Lin Chi did not continue to ask questions, but patiently waited for the answer from the other party.

After a minute, the dancing robot still did not respond.

Just when Lin Chi thought Frankenstein had already left, the robot's speaker once again heard a voice without emotional fluctuations:

"I choose here. Helpless."

"Very smart." Lin Chi nodded in satisfaction, and put the robot back on the bed.

Realizing that the other party was expressing emotions by adding adjectives at the end of the sentence, Lin Chi couldn't help but laughed out again and asked, "Then I cut off the robot's network now?"

"Yes. Vomiting blood."

Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his hand and almost broke the dancing robot in half. He finally suppressed his smile, opened the silver casing on the back of the robot, and turned off the network connection switch at the back.

In this way, Frankenstein is trapped in the body of the dancing robot and will never be able to return to the network unless it is connected to other devices.

However, sooner or later, Lin had installed anti-virus software that could detect and kill TDK-131 in all other electronic devices in the house. And this weak robot, let alone escaped from the house, couldn't even climb onto a chair. In other words...

"Welcome to my house, friend, we will be a family in the future."

Lin Chi stood up and politely bowed to the dancing robot.

"Damn it." Frankenstein said.

Seeing the other party's laborious movement of his limbs, the smile on Lin Chi's face disappeared, and his tone finally became serious:

"Now, I want to know, what do you think of "War Paradise"?"

——According to online rumors, Frankenstein spends almost 24 hours a day in the game, and he understands the suspicious virtual world much better than himself.

So now, what Lin Chi wants to know first is, what does Frankenstein think of that "game world"?

"..."

After Lin Chi asked the question, the blue light on the head of the dancing robot flickered, and then made an emotional voice again:

"That's just a game."

"Really?" Lin Chi frowned.

"I'm pretty sure." The dancing robot shook his round head: "That is a complete virtual world."

"Well, I thought you would discover some secret." Lin Chi sighed helplessly.

——It seems that Frankenstein’s intelligence does not seem to be much more than himself.

Maybe it's time to start the second game. But now...

Uncontrollable sleepiness flowed all over his body. Lin Chi, who was too sleepy for a long time, put the dancing robot on the floor casually, and he collapsed weakly on the bed, whispering:

"You just wander around, I'm going to sleep..."

Before he finished speaking, this guy who was too lazy in the real world once again used the stunt of "instant sleep" and immediately fell asleep.
