Chapter 52
byChapter 52
Yu Tang put away the plot introduction and thought about it seriously.
He asked the system: "Can such a person also be the protagonist?"
The system went back and looked at the classification: "...it belongs to the growth-type protagonist, host."
In fact, from the perspective of the original work, this was just a serious mistake made by the protagonist Sheng Yi when he was "young and ignorant".
Sheng Yi was still young when Shi Ji was brought back, and he was completely unaware of Sheng's father's plan and what happened to Shi Ji.
When Shi Ji followed Sheng's father's instructions and began to integrate with the wingman's intelligent operating system, Sheng Yi was still young and didn't know that this was the real reason for Shi Ji's decline in strength.
Sheng Yi didn't know that Shi Ji's leg was disabled and couldn't be cured, nor did he know that Shi Ji's talent was being continuously extracted and devoured by the wingman.
He didn't know that in such a state, Shi Ji could no longer maintain the keen observation and judgment he had in the past.
...By the time he knew everything, Shi Ji had already completely integrated consciousness and intelligent AI, just as Sheng's father asked, and turned it into the best weapon that would never go wrong again.
Yu Tang couldn't figure it out: "Why doesn't he know anything?"
The system didn't quite understand it, so it looked through the settings of the original work and read comma by period: "He is too impulsive and too young. After all, he is only seventeen years old. At this age..."
Yu Tang: "At this age, I have already started preparing to buy my first company."
system:"……"
Yu Tang: "Others at this age——"
The system asked: "What?"
Yu Tang stopped talking and searched his memories carefully.
Just now, a very vague new picture flashed through his mind, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.
When he tried to think about it again, only the plot fragments he had just received were left.
"Host, host." The system recalled, "You should have chosen this book yourself."
Benefits for new employees of Chuan Bookstore: After completing their internship and officially entering the new department, they receive tasks for the first time and have the right to independently choose the books and worlds they want to enter.
The system flashed a small red light and tried to help Yu Tang find clues: "Is there a reason why you chose this book at that time?"
Yu Tang: "The rating of this book is only D for the moment it enters the scene."
system:"……"
"Really." Yu Tang remembers this very clearly, "There were 1,024 books chosen for me at that time. Only this one required D-level acting skills. I didn't even have to learn how to get angry."
After all, Shi Ji never gets angry.
He didn't get angry when he saw Sheng Yi furious because of his failure and frustration, and being tortured and targeted by Sheng Yi in various ways.
His physical strength was exhausted during training, and he couldn't exert any strength due to his injured leg. When Sheng Yi grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up and asked "Why doesn't such a waste die?", he just advised Sheng Yi to wait a minute and stop doing this.urgent.
Wait a moment, wait a moment and he will go.
He will hand Sheng Yi an excellent wingman, and he can continue to play his violin in the wingman's intelligent system.
"By the way, there's a plot here."
Yu Tang didn't waste any more time on things he couldn't remember. He clicked on the plot and highlighted a section of it: "When receiving the cover order, why did Shi Ji want to wait for another half an hour?"
"The Ministry of Science originally cooperated with the Ministry of Military Affairs to study the interaction between humans and intelligent AI and apply it to the exploration and manufacture of new weapons."
The system said: "But it gradually went astray and turned into a dehumanizing research that uses human consciousness and intelligent AI to forcibly merge."
System: "After discovering this clue, the military immediately severely shut down the project... The latest progress of this research is still in the experimental stage."
There are two operating modes in the specially designed driving position of Shi Ji's wingman.
One is to directly integrate it, completely assimilate it with intelligent AI, and turn it into a sophisticated and excellent cold weapon.
The other type is a new solution that is under research and is only in the experimental stage because the plan was urgently stopped and did not have time to be verified.
——If you choose this mode, the fusion process will be very painful, but as long as the fusion process is smooth enough, the fused person may still retain the last bit of autonomy.
Even if it becomes a cold weapon with no ability to act autonomously, there is still a chance to retain the last bit of "humanity".
"Shi Ji chose this mode."
System: "He likes people very much and enjoys living. He feels that while alive he can study cooking, drink Coke with ice, and play the violin. He is very happy."
Yu Tang was also reading Shi Ji's solo character biography. He opened the character deduction program and entered Shi Ji's data.
Compared to his feelings for Sheng Yi, Shi Ji prefers the matter of "living" itself.
Shi Ji's nature is to obey. He received the request from Sheng's father that as an observer, he must obey the operator at all times.
So even if he couldn't find relevant content in the military academy's textbooks, Shi Ji still followed Sheng Yi's words as required.
Shi Ji was asked to like his younger brother, take care of him, and protect Sheng Yi until he officially came of age.
So after Sheng's father died, Shi Ji became Sheng Yi's guardian, taking care of Sheng Yi's daily life. He was admitted to the Military Academy in advance and served as an observer for Sheng Yi.
…
Shi Ji fulfilled all these requirements, but in addition to these requirements, he also had his own interests and things he wanted to do.
He didn't want to die so soon.
The last instruction left by Sheng's father was to ask Shi Ji to integrate with the wingman's intelligent AI on the day Sheng Yi comes of age.
Shi Ji changed his mind a little bit.
Father Sheng didn't say which fusion method he wanted him to use, so Shi Ji chose the second one.
He started the fusion in advance and calculated the time. On Sheng Yi's eighteenth birthday, he would completely become a part of the wingman.
If Sheng Yi is willing to help him buy a music editing module and install it in the wingman's operating system, he can still play the violin.
It's just a pity that as a wingman, I can no longer drink iced Coke and study how to make small cakes.
…
When receiving the cover order, Shi Ji's fusion progress was only within the last half hour.
That was his last remaining chance. Although it was extremely slim, it was still possible to continue to exist as a "person" in a certain sense.
But it was too late, Sheng Yi had already rushed into the insect wave.
This is a real battlefield, not an exercise that can be stopped at any time, not a simulated battle in a virtual space.
Sheng Yi's talent is very strong, but after all, he is only a first-year student at the military academy and has not yet been tempered in one real and cruel battle.
Without the assistance of his wingman, Sheng Yi would die here.
But now Shi Ji, who has a broken leg and has been deprived of all his talents, can no longer safely protect him from the insect tide.
Shi Ji chose direct fusion, and his consciousness was swallowed by the wingman and became part of the intelligent AI.
In autopilot mode, the wingman performed flawlessly.
It has almost reached the peak state that Shi Ji was able to achieve back then - keen judgment, decisive action, and perfectly coordinated with all the actions of the host armor.
It blocked most of the insect wave attacks for the host armor, and cooperated with the host armor to save the target safely in the insect wave.
This is the best wingman in the entire league and even the entire galaxy.
On his eighteenth birthday, Shi Ji fulfilled all of Sheng Yi's wishes.
…
Yu Tang asked: "Did Ye Hanfeng later open this wingman?"
The system flipped through the plot: "Yes... but this operating system doesn't have it."
"Shi Ji's death caused a big sensation. This set of instruments was missed when the project was banned and was also recycled. Because Father Sheng is dead, there is no way to hold him accountable."
"Shi Ji's consciousness has been completely destroyed. There is no way to repair it. There is no way to peel it off again with the new intelligent operating system that has been integrated with AI."
"The decision on how to deal with this system rests with Sheng Yi."
"Sheng Yi was also injured in that battle. He didn't expect that the father he had always admired would be such a person. He was hit hard and suffered from pain and decadence for a long time."
"He hid at home, stopped going to school, and refused to touch mechas anymore... He kept avoiding making this decision until Ye Hanfeng went to have a fight with him."
"With Ye Hanfeng's stimulation and encouragement, he decided to stand up again and donated this operating system to the military for research, retaining only the wingmen left to him by his father."
"He decided to carry forward the sins left by his father and atone for his father's sins."
The system read the plot: "Later, Sheng Yi and Ye Hanfeng re-formed a partnership and regained the first place in the military academy. Ye Hanfeng finally surpassed the operating system and became the best observer. Together they fought backHe survived many Zerg attacks and became an outstanding graduate of the academy..."
"Wait a minute." The more Yu Tang listened, the more wrong he became: "Is there no plot related to me?"
The system quickly flipped the script to the end: "...Ten years later, Sheng Yi became the most outstanding mecha operator and received the S-level merit, the highest level in the alliance."
"He was finally able to face this painful memory again and mention that name with relief. He bravely told this past and received countless praises and admiration for his honesty in facing himself."
System: "Ye Hanfeng accompanied him and laid flowers on your grave."
Yu Tang: "..."
system:"……"
Yu Tang couldn't figure it out: "If I were Shi Ji, I would be so angry that I would jump out of the grave at this moment."
"Shi Ji won't be angry, host, he just wants to play the violin."
The system carefully reminded: "Isn't it because the host chose this book because he didn't have to learn how to be angry?"
This is a purer tool character than the previous two books. His function is to provide the protagonist with the first major setback in life, allowing the protagonist to abandon the childishness and extremeness of the past and quickly mature and become stronger.
At this point in the plot, almost everyone has forgotten about Shi Ji.
An experimental product that doesn't even have complete emotions can't even be considered a "person".
People only remember the results.
Sheng Yi overcame the pain of the past, redeemed his father's sins, and became the best mecha operator.
Ye Hanfeng relied on his own efforts to surpass the perfect operating system and became the top observer.
Everything goes well and everyone is happy.
The system dispensed a large box of lollipops. It was a little nervous and reminded Yu Tang in advance: "Host... we are angry in this book, and it may be OOC."
"..." Yu Tang had almost forgotten this incident. He pressed his forehead, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
Unlike the two books that were just completed, in this book, Shi Ji's feelings were originally incomplete.
Because he couldn't feel any pain, Shi Ji had a strong endurance.He will not have a stress reaction under excessive pressure, nor will he split into a second personality under constant stimulation.
For Shi Ji, the only thing to do is to obey orders.
Logically, it is difficult for them to simply and crudely bypass the loopholes of the supervision department as before and find a reasonable explanation for the OOC performance that deviates from the personality.
"Also... in the previous plot, the host was forced to leave the plot of the first book because he was responsible for too many books at the same time."
The system opened the emails sent from the headquarters one by one: "Although the emergency intervention procedures at that time gave a very reasonable explanation, it also led to some innocuous changes in the plot."
In order to reasonably explain the reason why Shi Ji suddenly disappeared from the first book, the headquarters created a temporary sack, put Shi Ji in it, dragged him away, and sent him to a slave ship.
This slave ship is not a normal plot product. It was temporarily generated specifically for the purpose of selling Shi Ji. When the subordinate scope was defined, it was also classified as Yu Tang's property.
Because of lack of money, Yu Tang cashed in the slave ship.
According to Yu Tang's revised plot, during this period, he drifted to the island and spent half a year with a kind-hearted dolphin.
"This plot replaced the half-year period when Shi Ji was hospitalized."
System: "Let's go back now. It happens to be the time when Shi Ji just came home from the hospital and became disabled in his legs."
The system read to Yu Tang: "Although the general plot is still consistent, in order to ensure logic and character design, the plot has still been affected somewhat."
"Shi Ji's character design, minus his genius-level fighting talent, is actually very straightforward and simple."
System: "His behavior pattern is actually very simple. As long as he does not disobey orders, he will do what he likes and take home what he wants."
Before the scheduled death date, Shi Ji was actually very busy.
Shi Ji likes life and people. There are so many things in this world that he likes.
He learned to cook and bake cakes in the kitchen, and studied how the bubbles of Coke could circle the ice cube exactly.
While he was washing the dishes, he was figuring out how to stack the dishes higher.
He played the piano in his training room every day. He turned on his wingman's searchlight and imitated what he saw on TV, standing in the dust flying under the beam.
Shi Ji is not afraid of death, but he doesn’t want to become a complete AI.
It was too lonely to become an AI. Before being awakened by Father Sheng, he remembered that he had stayed in a space with nothing for too long.
He could still vaguely recall that space, where there was no wind, as if even time had stood still.
…
Shi Ji had long known that he was going to become part of the wingman, so he had been working hard and busy loading things into his wingman.
He strives to bring back all the things he likes.
He liked the violin, so he saved up money to buy one. He also liked to drink Coke, so his warehouse was filled with Cokes of various flavors and brands.
He liked wind chimes, so he hung a string of jingling wind chimes on his wingman.
If he hadn't been put in a sack and sailed across the ocean, in the original plot, Shi Ji would have stocked the operating system's memory card with movies and games that G liked to watch and games he was interested in while he was in the hospital.
But this time the changes in the plot line have led to some new changes.
Yu Tang nodded: "What change?"
The system opens the next page of the email: "..."
Yu Tang: "?"
System: "...He likes that kind dolphin."
The author has something to say: Shi Ji: =v=
I mean, if I have to suffering Sheng father-son for that long, the kind dolphin would definitely look like a priceless treasure to me too.
[retaining only the wingmen left to him by his father] >> [Ye Hanfeng finally surpassed the operating system and became the best observer]
Hmmm sus. Is there really nothing related to Shi Ji’s system left in that wingman? Is Ye Hanfeng’s ‘talent’ completely his, or is there any ‘golden finger’ in that wingmen?
[redeemed his father’s sins]
WTF?! Why would you want to redeem that scumbag?? Is that kind of sin even redeemable?? WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! You abused and then kill him, redeem his abuser, and still dare to go to his grave style yourself as a nation hero?? Are you possess even an ounce of shame??
