Chapter 205: Chapter 188: Artificial Intelligence System

[This is a relatively useless information sphere. It just stores some pre-apocalypse songs. If you’re interested, you could give them a listen.]

[This is a relatively useless information sphere. It stores some pre-apocalypse action-guidance films, complete with plot subtitles and no horseback riding...]

These first two information spheres surprised Lu Feng.

One stored songs, and the other stored action-guidance films.

He knew the capacity of these information spheres; the number of files stored inside must be massive.

With these two spheres, if he wanted to, he could probably make a name for himself in the music and film industry without any trouble, right?

After all, these songs definitely didn’t exist in the real world.

However, collecting music was understandable—it could cultivate one’s character, after all. But collecting these action-guidance films was a bit perverted.

The key thing was that finding films that met all three conditions was genuinely difficult in reality, with too many restrictions online.

Too bad this stuff was useless to him. After all, you couldn’t shoot these kinds of films in the country.

He then looked at the third information sphere.

[This is a special information sphere. It has a special system’s electronic lock and what looks like the logo of some AI research department. It should contain a genuine artificial intelligence program!]

When Lu Feng saw this description, he was immediately captivated.

’This information sphere contains an artificial intelligence system?’

That was an AI system they were talking about.

Various countries had been hyping up their AI systems for a long time, but everyone knew what those were really like.

They were just clunky systems.

Take Xiaodu, for example. You couldn’t even hold a proper conversation with it.

Even the auxiliary systems in the mecha weapons he got from the game were countless times better than those.

But anyone who had seen the movies knew that a true AI should be like Iron Man’s ’Friday’ or ’J.A.R.V.I.S.’.

Able to converse, think flexibly, answer its master’s questions, extrapolate from examples, and assist its master with all sorts of tasks...

’Is the AI stored in this information sphere really that kind?’

If so, this thing was truly incredible.

But it had an encryption system, which meant he would need Cheng Sisi and the other computer technicians to crack it.

Thinking of this, he immediately called for Lin Jiao.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Lin Jiao asked immediately.

Lu Feng gave his orders at once. "Lin Jiao, take some people back to Qingfeng Base. Bring Cheng Sisi, Cheng Yaoyao, and all the technical personnel to the East Suburb Fortress. Also, pick some people from the base to come here. We’re short-staffed for the time being."

The East Suburb Fortress was undoubtedly more suitable for development. In the future, he could gradually move people over from Qingfeng Base.

After all, now that he had occupied the East Suburb Fortress, he had no intention of giving it back.

Crucially, the East Suburb Fortress would be a perfect refuge when the Hexagonal Beast disaster erupted. Afterward, when the City East Alliance collapsed and splintered, all the croplands in the East Suburb would be his.

However, this place still belonged to the City East Alliance, so he had to have a backup plan. He could also properly develop Shangya Town, which One-Eyed Tiger occupied.

If anything unexpected happened at the East Suburb Fortress, he needed an escape route.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up on Qingfeng Base either. It could continue to recruit other survivors and transfer them here to the East Suburb Fortress.

"Yes, Boss!" Lin Jiao acknowledged the order and departed at once.

Lu Feng turned his attention back to the other two information spheres. It would take time for Lin Jiao to bring the people over, so he might as well check these out now that he had them.

He took a holographic virtual computer out of his backpack space, connected the music information sphere, and immediately saw a list of items pop up on the holographic screen.

The list was actually composed of sweet or handsome female and male pop stars. Moreover, these figures were either dancing, striking cool poses, or waving hello...

Clearly, the original owner of the information sphere had done an excellent job categorizing everything.

Lu Feng clicked on a female star who was doing a seductive dance, and a list of her songs immediately appeared.

He casually selected a song. The holographic computer instantly projected a virtual image all around him. A stage appeared, and the female star, now wearing an even sexier miniskirt, materialized on it and began to sing.

It was just like watching a live concert. The sound quality was surprisingly good, and the song itself was very catchy. It would definitely be a huge hit in the real world.

After listening to a few songs, Lu Feng thought they were all excellent. At the very least, they were pleasant to listen to, unlike that "Big Bowl Thick Noodle" song or other musical monstrosities that sounded like wailing ghosts.

Next, he turned to the other information sphere. He connected it to the computer, and once again, a series of holographic figures popped up—all female stars with excellent figures and beautiful faces.

It was just that their outfits were...

Lu Feng clicked on a star who looked to be a 36D and was also gorgeous and tall.

A list of movie titles appeared, but these titles...

He clicked on one of the movies. It was about a wife...

That figure, that face, that holographic image...

Lu Feng had once thought about bringing this technology into the real world sooner or later, but on second thought, the technology was too impure. It would be detrimental to people’s physical and mental health.

Therefore, many people would probably oppose the implementation of such technology.

’Not many people would really want this kind of technology to exist, right?’

’On second thought, it’s best to just drop the idea.’

As Lu Feng’s mind wandered, a message appeared in his head:

[Congratulations! You have leveled up!]

The sudden notification stunned Lu Feng for a moment.

’I leveled up again?’

’Something’s not right!’

After his last level-up, the experience needed for the next level had already reached 200,000.

The number of remaining zombies in the horde at Red Leaf Base wasn’t nearly enough. Besides, Lin Jiao hadn’t led anyone to lure in new zombies yet.

Crucially, it hadn’t even taken as long as it did to gain the previous level.

But when he looked at the dense stream of notifications on the light screen in his mind, he understood why.

[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and gained 20 experience points!]

[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and gained 10 experience points!]

...

[Congratulations! You have killed a zombie and gained 20 experience points!]

The experience from ordinary zombies had increased again.

In other words, the strength of ordinary zombies had increased again at this stage.

After all, ordinary survivors could already handle zombies with ease. Even if the experience from a zombie increased to 20, their speed and reflexes were probably still sluggish. An average person with a weapon could still deal with them easily.

So, an ordinary survivor might not notice this change, but thanks to the system’s experience notifications, he knew for sure.

This meant that the zombies’ strength was constantly, slowly increasing.

If there was no human intervention, what would happen if the zombies kept getting stronger? Would every single one of them become like a mutated zombie?

And what about the mutated zombies themselves?

Perhaps this was one of the reasons the City East Alliance was destined to fall during the rampaging zombie horde created by the Hexagonal Beasts.

This made him feel it was necessary to specially assign people to hunt Mutant Beasts whose bones or body parts could be used as materials to help people increase their strength.

The people at the base, even the ordinary combat personnel, needed to improve their strength.

With that, Lu Feng looked at his own character attribute template!

Character: Lu Feng

Level: 13

Strength: 17 (Average Human: 5)

Agility: 19 (Average Human: 5)

Stamina: 17 (Average Human: 5)

Spiritual Power: 18

Combat Skills: Basic Combat, Old-fashioned Firearm Proficiency, Blade Proficiency.

Special Abilities: Energy Barrier, Speed Ability.

Energy: 300/300

Experience: 30/409,600

After reaching level 13, his character attributes had increased again, and this time, they had gone up by 2 points directly!

His constitution, speed, and strength had now completely surpassed an average person’s by more than three times.

Furthermore, his Agility attribute still increased by 3 points because of his Speed Ability, and his Spiritual Power had also increased again. This meant that his Energy Barrier and Speed Ability would be even more powerful when used.

Looking at his stats, Lu Feng fell into thought. ’My Agility gains more points on level-up because of my Speed Ability. Should I get more abilities? Maybe that would cause my other attributes to gain more points as well.’

However, the zombie horde at Red Leaf Base had been ground down in the traps for a long time now and should be nearly depleted. It was time to send people to lure zombies from other areas.

Just then, Wang Cheng ran in excitedly, reporting, "Boss, we found something great in the East Suburb Fortress! There are howitzers in the warehouse, even more powerful than the ones we have. It’s a good thing Chen Feng and his men didn’t use them when they left."

"And get this—there are also three rifle production lines, one light machine gun production line, and one howitzer shell production line!"

Lu Feng wasn’t surprised to hear this. After all, the East Suburb was where the City East Alliance grew its crops. They had specifically built the East Suburb Fortress, so they would have certainly made sure it had the military power to protect it.

Besides, now that he controlled the Kudar Clan in Dalat Town, he had ways of acquiring weapon production lines from the real world, so he wasn’t too concerned about this.

Instead, he looked at Wang Cheng and asked, "Wang Cheng, since you got the Speed Ability, have you felt any improvement recently?"

Wang Cheng nodded. "Yeah. I’ve found that the ability improves as long as I use it often. I talked to the others, and it’s the same for them!"

As he spoke, Wang Cheng couldn’t help but look at Lu Feng with a trace of reverence.

After all, the boss had given them all their abilities.

Especially for him; using the Speed Ability to supplement his mecha weapon made him ridiculously stronger.

Lu Feng nodded. Ability users had varying levels of strength; it wasn’t set in stone. Ability users could improve in the game, so there was no reason they couldn’t in reality.

"Spar with me," Lu Feng said to Wang Cheng with a smile.

Wang Cheng nodded. He was also curious about Lu Feng’s actual strength.

They found a spot and faced off. Then, Wang Cheng immediately activated his Speed Ability and charged at Lu Feng.

He knew how formidable Lu Feng was; without using his ability, he stood no chance.

But as soon as he activated his speed, Lu Feng activated his Speed Ability as well. Instantly, Lu Feng’s speed surpassed Wang Cheng’s. In less than three moves, a steel blade appeared in Lu Feng’s hand, pressed against Wang Cheng’s neck.

"The boss is still on another level!" Wang Cheng exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Feng now had a rough comparison. Wang Cheng’s current speed was still far from his own.
