Kapitel 100: Master Level Alchemy Technology
After fifteen days of research and development, a mechanical sound rang out in Bai Yi's mind, signaling the successful creation of an intelligent AI.
"Network connected. Mr. Bai Yi, Zero greets you. I am very happy to be your assistant."
The AI's main body was a contact lens, designed to protect the eyeballs while being directly connected to Bai Yi's nervous system. This meant the mechanical sound came directly into his mind, rather than through traditional auditory transmission.
The AI operated using the magic power within Bai Yi's body, consuming only a minimal amount of energy. Even with an intelligence attribute of just ten, Bai Yi's natural mana regeneration was more than sufficient to keep the AI running, with energy left over.
Bai Yi's current intelligence stat was 359, so the mana consumption was practically negligible. He was pleased with the AI's capabilities, as it could automatically connect to the magic network for learning and information storage.
As it was still in its infancy, with a little more time, Bai Yi would be able to use it as a powerful tool, much like having instant access to any information he desired. He gave it its first task:
"[Absorb basic network knowledge: combat strategies, military tactics, professional attributes, combat data analysis, and magic fluctuations.]"
Zero acknowledged the command: "[Long-term goals established.]"
Next, Bai Yi picked up a book and issued his second command: "[Record the text I'm reading and absorb the knowledge listed above.]"
Zero confirmed again: "[Long-term goals established.]"
Then Bai Yi instructed, "[Contact Sabo and establish an emergency communication code.]"
Zero responded: "[Emergency communication password sent to Sabo. The connection will be forced when the password is entered.]"
Satisfied with the AI's performance, Bai Yi turned his attention back to his research. As the AI grew, it would become increasingly useful. For example, when analyzing the fighting techniques of high-level fighters, the AI could assess an opponent's movements, predict the strength, speed, landing points, and magic power of their attacks. It would even suggest the best routes for dodging, countering, or cracking the opponent's strikes.
The AI would also grow with Bai Yi, much like the search engine Baidu, continuously absorbing knowledge and evolving in usefulness. Every alchemist would eventually develop their own AI assistant, though the forms might differ.
Bai Yi's next focus was on understanding the gold-eating beetles, a subject that would require a longer period of study.
Three days later, Bai Yi's knowledge of the gold-eating beetles advanced significantly. Their skills now appeared on his panel, with proficiency levels reaching four thousand, a level even higher than his knowledge of evil thoughts. This was an astonishing feat for micron-scale machinery.
Investing four skill points further deepened his understanding of micro-machines, bringing him to a breakthrough in alchemical technology.
"[Your alchemy technology has reached the master level.]"
He glanced at his alchemy proficiency: "[Master Alchemy Technology (34/50000)]"
Achieving a proficiency of 50,000 would mark him as a Grandmaster, and beyond that was the Sage level. Reaching Sage status in a specific discipline meant becoming a pioneer in that field. However, the journey to mastering a field, especially one as complex as alchemy, was a difficult one.
Ignoring this for now, Bai Yi studied two new micro-machine blueprints: the [Mechanical Mosquito (300/2000)] and [Magnetic Mechanical Body (500/1000)].
With his new understanding of micron-scale machines, creating millimeter- and centimeter-scale machines no longer posed a challenge. He didn't even need to spend skill points to master these; they came naturally as he applied his knowledge.
Choosing to start with the simplest, Bai Yi decided to begin crafting the magnetic mechanical bodies. It would take tens of thousands of these machines to form an effective fighting force.
Meanwhile, as Bai Yi secluded himself to focus on his research, the Dawn Federation entered a peaceful phase. The players had stopped causing chaos and were now focused on completing tasks and leveling up, running errands or taking missions from the Adventurer's Guild. Some ventured to other cities via the newly built steam train station near the South Gate. The only downside was that players didn't have a fixed offline positioning during the internal test, meaning they would be sent to their resurrection point upon logging back in, not necessarily where they had logged off.
Demacia, who had been working with the guards for several days, was bored and decided to take a trip on the train to explore. As he sat in the VIP box, he commented to his hundreds of thousands of live viewers:
"The service will shut down soon. I never expected my first steam train ride to be like this. And this VIP box? Feels more like torture!"
The barrage exploded with laughter and playful comments.
"I want to see Xiao Mo!" ×n "I want you to become Xiao Jiro!" ×n
Demacia sighed dramatically, choosing to summon his Piranha plant for entertainment. The purple, Venusaur-like creature quickly bit his shoulder as it appeared, wrapping its roots around him.
"[You are attacked by your summon and become slightly poisoned, losing 0.03% of your health per second.]"
Demacia groaned, "Summoning a permanent contract was the worst decision I've ever made. If I could go back, I'd never choose summoner."
The plant licked his shoulder, neutralizing the poison, and Demacia's health bar gradually recovered. He sighed in relief, commenting, "Well, at least I don't have to worry about storage space."
Just then, the train passed a strange distortion in the wasteland outside, and Demacia noticed something odd. His viewers began speculating, and he decided to investigate, much to the amusement of his audience. As Demacia ventured closer to the distortion, he jumped into it without hesitation.
Suddenly, everything turned black.
"[You have entered the territory of the Dark Kingdom.]" "[You were beheaded by a level 35 Berserker. You are dead!]"
Demacia's body collapsed, his vision going dark as the comments erupted with laughter.
"Brothers, something big is happening!" Demacia shouted, though he was more focused on his loss than the viewers' reactions.
A dark, indifferent voice echoed from the other side: "What happened?"
Demacia's impromptu entrance into the Dark Kingdom caused confusion among those nearby. Despite his unfortunate death, Demacia was excited: "Did you hear that? Attacking Dongwu City? I'm going to make something big happen!"
