Chapter 623: Deus Ex Machina
"Just accept his assistance for now."
After reading the information, Xia Yu put it down and said to the handsome guy Jack beside him.
Although Mr. Blue Eyes' information is unclear, since he is willing to assist them, they will accept this assistance.
Even if this is just a sugar-coated bullet, they can eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back. After all, he has the power to overturn the table at any time.
If it wasn't for the goal of achieving the lowest cost, he would have turned the table over right now.
If you have the power to overturn the table at any time, you can try everything without fear. Even if you reach a dead end, you can use cannonballs to blast a way out.
Sorry, if you have power you can do whatever you want.
Seeing Xia Yu gave the answer, handsome Jack nodded. This way, even if something went wrong, he would have a backup plan.
"That's right."
Xia Yu suddenly looked at the handsome guy Jack and asked, "We must not let our guard down against the Ye Group. Go investigate what they are hiding. It should be easier with Red Queen."
"Also, be careful of the wandering AIs. Remember to check on the Red Queen at any time to make sure it is not contaminated by those wandering AIs."
They already knew about the cooperation between Ye's Group and Wandering AI. If Red Queen was corrupted by Wandering AI during the investigation, it would be a loss.
Roaming AI is a network resident outside the black wall. At first, AI was just some simple algorithms designed to make life easier.
But over time, some of these AIs have become increasingly able to mimic humans, and those with programmed personalities can even become likable.
With the advent of the Internet era, AI has also begun to diversify, and even weaponized AI has appeared, which is a military technology that can be used to break through the enemy's network security measures.
It wasn't until the cyber hacker Lachie Batmos caused the old network to collapse that the remaining AI began to mutate, and roaming AI came into being.
In order to prevent the roaming AI from causing a real disaster, the network monitoring hackers were forced to design the Black Wall. This powerful artificial intelligence has only one task, to block the roaming AI from the remaining network that had not been destroyed by the great collapse that year.
You have to know that humans in this world all have implants, especially the most basic brain-computer interface, which almost everyone has.
If a rogue AI were to infiltrate the internal network, it would be a real disaster for everyone.
Therefore, if we want to make the world a better place, in addition to fighting against those capital companies, we must also fight against these roaming AIs.
But this matter is not the most important to Xia Yu. After all, no matter how powerful the AI is, it always needs a real server as a carrier. He directly sent people to destroy the server. No matter how powerful the wandering AI is, it can't cause any waves.
Even Otto Cunningham, the God of the Internet and the most powerful entity inside and outside the Black Wall, needs V's help to enter Arasaka's data fortress "Mikoto".
No matter how powerful the roaming AI is, it is only powerful on the Internet, not in reality.
However, for the humans in this world, the strong ones on the Internet are almost equivalent to the strong ones in reality. After all, it only takes one final step for the humans in this world to ascend mechanically.
If we follow the original Cyberpunk 2077 world line, it is estimated that in the near future, Arasaka will be able to perform mechanical ascension.
In the demon ending of the game, Saburo Arasaka was reborn using the body of his son Yorinobu Arasaka.
Since this kind of consciousness possession can work on the physical body, it will sooner or later work on machines, until the consciousness is completely digitized, the physical body is abandoned, and machines are used to achieve eternal life.
Back to the topic, after Xia Yu gave all the instructions, handsome Jack left, leaving him alone thinking silently about what to do next.
Since coming to this world, he has gradually completed various small-stage goals. Now the only thing left is the final goal, which is to completely put this world back on the right track.
And this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so it seems that there is nothing special for him to do now.
Are we going to return to our previous decadent daily routine?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu secretly despised himself twice. He was so depraved that if he continued like this, he would become a useless person sooner or later.
It’s better to save up more points and try to draw Nymph as well. If possible, he won’t mind Astraea either.
After determining the target, Xia Yu was about to get up when he heard a crisp reminder sound suddenly in his ears.
【Xia Yu has joined the chat group! 】
Xia Yu: “?”
What is this? Has his system been updated again?
Or was he chosen by the new system? So, what he got was not a time-travel script, but a multi-heaven script?
"Hmm... chat group system, the chat group of all the heavens and worlds?"
As soon as Xia Yu entered the chat group, various messages popped up immediately, all welcoming new members.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's lips curled up into a smile of the Dragon King. Since this is a chat group of all heavens and worlds, let him, the time traveler, try out the so-called prophetic prediction.
At that time, I will be elected as the group leader, help group members to overcome difficulties, gain a few beautiful girls, and reach the peak of my life. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.
However, his fantasy had just begun when the group announcement automatically jumped.
Xia Yu: “…”
Well, the fantasy is shattered.
[Cyberpunk 2077]: This is so frustrating. I thought this was a chat group for all the universes and the group members were all characters from other worlds, but it turns out to be you bastards.
[Sekiro]: ???
[Sekiro]: That's too much. What does "cub" mean? You're even insulting yourself.
[Resident Evil]: A cyberpunk world? It's a pity that you came a little late. If you had appeared in the hundredth chapter, it would have been of some use to us.
[The Law of Talos]: Indeed, but it is already around 600 chapters long, and you are already late.
【Cyberpunk 2077】：？ ？ ？
What are these guys talking about? What's the six hundred chapters? Why can't he even match his own brain waves?
【Cyberpunk 2077】: What are you talking about? I don’t understand.
[Genshin Impact]: You have just joined the group, so it is normal that you don’t understand. You will understand what we mean after staying for a while.
[Dark Souls III]: What? There's a new guy! Show up!
[Dark Souls III]: Slipped away.
[Genshin Impact]: Speaking of it, the cyberpunk world is quite hopeless. Let’s go and change this world.
[Genshin Impact]: Please, another me!
Xia Yu: “???”
Did another person just appear? Why did everyone pretend not to see it? Why do these people look a bit abstract?
What? He himself is quite abstract? That's fine.
[NieR: Automata]: Hey, you are in the world of Genshin Impact, not in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. Don't come to this world casually!
[Genshin Impact]: Xier will protect everyone.
【Clash of Clans】: Just kidding, here's some soap jokes.
Xia Yu: “…”
Looking at the hellish jokes that suddenly appeared one after another in the group, Xia Yu just felt as if he had entered some extraordinary chat group.
And weren't they welcoming him as a newcomer at the beginning? When did it become a joke from hell?!
Although he had a strong desire to complain, Xia Yu did not join in the hellish joke in the chat group. Instead, he reopened the group announcement and read it carefully from the beginning.
Just now he just took a casual look and understood the general situation, but he hasn't looked at the details in detail.
After seeing this, Xia Yu gradually understood, because the group announcement not only explained the role of the group, but also their origin, including the power they possessed and so on.
Among them, strength is the most important thing to him, because what he lacks right now is exactly this kind of power to make the final decision.
Now, this decisive power suddenly descended upon him, and it felt like a deus ex machina.
"Deus ex machina? If this were a story, I would definitely not be able to continue writing and would be in a hurry to end it, hahaha~"
Xia Yu accidentally made himself laugh. Although he was very happy about the arrival of the Deus Ex Machina, in fact, the Deus Ex Machina was not a good ending for the story.
A deus ex machina is an unexpected, sudden, or forced character, device, or event that is introduced suddenly in a work of fiction to relieve tension or situation.
It can be described as a clumsy plot device because it undermines the internal logic of the story.
If his world was a fan fiction, then at this moment it would definitely be a tense and exciting company war, with all kinds of intrigues and schemes, until the final and satisfying victory.
But now that the deus ex machina has been suddenly introduced, it is obvious that the novel cannot be continued and ends hastily.
"But compared to the sudden abortion, at least there is an explanation for the bad ending. Well, why should I think about these things?"
Xia Yu shook his head and suppressed his wild thoughts. Since he had been deified by the machine, what was he waiting for? He could just do it.
It's time to let the world bleed.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu sent a message to all his men, asking them to assemble because he had big news to announce.
Because he was the one who sent the message proactively and his tone was serious, even the unruly Hanma Yujiro came over obediently.
Soon, all the characters summoned by the cards came in front of him. Looking at this group of subordinates who were completely loyal to him, Xia Yu sighed in his heart.
He had originally hoped that this group of subordinates would slowly help him restore the world to normal, but in the end he, the big boss, still had to do it himself.
But never mind, this is a good opportunity to let these people see his strength as a boss.
The forces within the chat group are numerous and diverse, and AI technology is ultimately the most suitable for solving the world's predicament.
Even though they are all AI, the AI technology in the chat group is obviously far superior to the AI technology in this world. After all, one of the group members is AI.
As long as the AI in the chat group is taken out and allowed to devour the black wall of this world, it can almost be said that the network within the black wall has been directly infiltrated.
After all, although the black wall is called the black wall, it is actually also an AI, and one that is kind-hearted towards humans.
There are hints in the game that the AI outside the Black Wall views the Black Wall just like humans view the Voodoo Gang, both of them are traitors among their own kind.
As long as the black wall is devoured, the broken networks outside the black wall can be gradually devoured until all the networks in this world are unified again.
