"huh? how come you traveled with me?"
< I don't have any memories in my database besides the already exists, the moment I was activated in master's profound veins, I came to the existence > the ai answered
"is that so?" Hei Dong pondered, "do I need to talk then to for to hear me?"
< negative, master can think and I can analyze the brain waves responsible for thinking, no need to talk >
'that's assuring, now before everything, I should name you...will be Charlotte, that would be our daughter name, and you kinda are in sense' he thought with sad smile
< confirmed, AI name is registered Charlotte, does master prefer to be called father? > Charlotte asked
'sure why not.' he smiled lightly
< affirmative, father >
'then how sentient are you?'
< according to the memories father's has, the estimated value of Charlotte sentient is 10 years old, with more data and experience, it can be risen >
'I know I'm a genius!' he laughed in his brain
< in analysis and building, father's geniuses is in unparalleled, but in relationships and emotional intelligence, it's only average >
'how to you know?!'
< father's memories. > she answered
'why I feel you being sarcastic' he narrowed his eyes
< oh, because I was, I was mimicking some of father's old friends.>
'..whatever, now tell about your current functions '
< yes. because of lack of reasonable power source, most of the function are unavailable, the only power source available is the energy leftovers in father's body >
'then how are you going to function then?' he ask in confusion
< by using the leftover, I managed to do a full scan on the whole city called floating cloud, and it's geographic structure, does father want to see? >
'sure'
< Roger > and infront of him a hologram of 2d map showing his location, there is dots with different color
< this isn't a dynamic map, the location on the screen was at the moment which were taken, if father wants to have continues location, he must provide continues energy source to keep tracking of the movement > Charlotte said
'I got it, what about the dots?'
< the green dots is the people father's knows and considered them allies , the red one are considered enemies, the grey one are unknown, but the grey one are filtered because of the big numbers. >
'I see, then how fast are you right now?'
< I'm as fast as super quantum computer in calculation possibilities and outcomes >
'and how much energy do you have now?'
< without using father's own vital energy, I could continue for couple month without going to sleep mode >
'what if you use it?'
< not recommended, it may affect father's mortal body, it's advice to start cultivation, and use profound energy as a suitable energy source >
'how I can cultivate with my physique?' he said in deadpan look
< according to my analysis, father doesn't have any special body compared to his sister and mother >
'huh? then why?'
< in my opinion, the doctor said any nonsense he thought of because he couldn't examine your condition well >
'then what's wrong with my entrances?'
< father born with entrance mutation caused them to be closed completely, unlike normal people, for analogy, normal people entrance like a hold filled with dirt, can be pushed, some are full of dirt then can't be pushed at all, that's why some has more opened entrances then other, but in father's case, it's like the same holes filled with concrete, so unlike normal people, you can't pushed it no matter what > Charlotte explained
'that's why I can't cultivate...then do you have a solution?'
< the solution I can calculate, as to find some kind of energy source, fed it directly to me, and I shall absorbed them and drill my way to father's entrances, warning it will painful. >
'can't you just absorbed the energy in the air?' Hei Dong had a headache
< negative, the energy in the air doesn't have enough concretion to be in that use, at least it need 10 times >
< if father is interested, the east of the city, where lightning seems to be struck, seems to be huge energy source under the ground, but it's adviced to not approach there as the region is full of beasts. >
'a huge source of energy? how huge?'
< if it convert to electricity, it can run earth power up to 100 years, give or take 10 seconds >
'damn! wait I mustn't be rush...where here power is everything, this information is priceless, if any the big empires found out about this, this Empire is doomed!' Hei Dong took a deep birth and calm down,
< in my analysis, there is small amount of another energy source about 1/1000000 of that I found in east city, > Charlotte said as she created a photo of it, it looks like a purple crystal
'that's interesting news, but another thing, can you give a body analysis?'
< positive, father > Charlotte said and a screen in his mind appeared
[
name: Xiao Hei Dong
age : 10 (100)
cultivation : mortal
bloodline: human
physique : none
soul : mortal
profound energy : 0
physical strength : 0.5
mentally strength : 3
spiritual strength : 5
profound arts : none
]
'well that is pretty pathetic, show me the numbers for higher cultivation'
< Roger, this date only based on this city, father data is required for more accuracy
[ profound energy:
0 : mortal
1-10 : Elementary Profound Realm
11-20: Nascent Profound Realm
21-30 : True Profound Realm
31-40 : Spirit Profound Realm
41-50 : Earth Profound Realm
]
same logic with physical, mental and spiritual strength, note that the last three doesn't increase in the same pace profound energy, so it's normal to find them much lower in the average cultivator, other data must collected in order to continue the rest of the realm but it's logical to say it will follow the same pattern > Charlotte conclude, if she was alive she would need to take a deep breath now after saying that much
'alright, let's sleep for now, it was a long day..' he felt quite exhausted and sleepy
< good night, father. > Charlotte said and Hei Dong felt a bit of gentleness in her sound, but didn't think much of and went into dream land quickly...
************
next day, at breakfast, Hei Dong was eating and thinking it would be nice if he can eat an omelette of some profound beast , 'hmm, that's not a bad idea, sadly I don't know how to make one' he shake his head
< father, may I suggest how? >
'oh you know?'
< positive, every piece of knowledge from earth is my database, including how to make omelette, or how to make hydrogen bomb >
Hei Dong sweated a bit, 'it's nice to have probable google with me, so tell me how to make hydrogen bomb?'
< negative, lack on necessary energy to access the database, the more knowledge is uncommon, the higher energy required , although,the information for omelette is available
for learning>
'are you trolling your father?!' he said feeling a headache
< negative, it's how I designed in case I fell in wrong hands >
'my paranoid mind bit me in the ass!' he cursed
< language father >
'fuck off!, removed the nsfw filter!' he hissed
< acknowledged >
"little Hei, why aren't you eating? you came to dislike your mother food?? " Xiao ling asked in fake sad tone
"heavens no mother, it just, I got an interesting idea about breakfast.."
"oh? tell mother about it!" Xiao ling loves cooking, so anything about it will make her excited
next to them ming Xing was eating but looking at her curious eyes, she is definitely interested
"ok , do you have some profound beast egg?" he asked
"hmm, let me check...oh yes I found one." she opened some closets and found one
'remind me to look up how to make a fridge'
< this world lack the electrical advancement for such device, it's advice to look up item refinement, formations and alchemy to achieve similar results , I reminded you that most of my functions are unavailable, so it's unnecessary to ask about the nuclear transformer function >
'hmm, you are right, formations and alchemy give a whole new world' Hei Dong felt giddy on mixing formation and alchemy into the advance science he has
"here, that's the egg of the profound beats I killed yesterday, what like to do?" she gives him a watermelon sized egg
"ughh, I can't do it myself with this size, maybe mother should do it"
"of course, rely on mother, so what do you need?" she said smiling
"do we have some spices?"
"of course, lord Xia is generous to us, and always provide all kind of things" she looked up and found the spice that Hei Dong asked
after accessing how to make omelette, he begin describing the way it's made, the mature beauty did what told Every step
ming Xing looked very focused and intrigued since this was the first time she something like this
Xiao ling break the egg in half and used the bigger have as bowl, she mixed the yolk and the albumen quickly, and since she cultivator, she did it faster then a mixer, then she found a fry and put some of mixed egg in it, and used the profound art she is using to cook it, then she add the spices and the salt her boy told her about
after a few minutes the omelette is done, and since she has a talent for cooking, she did it well for her first time
she gives a piece for each, and they started trying
"umm!! little Hei! this really delicious! you invented it?!" ming Xing said while savoring the omelette taste
"Yes! my little Hei! just from some egg, we made this!" Xiao ling licked her fingers
"hahaha, I'm glad you like it." he said while eating, 'this really hundreds of times better than normal omelette!'
"how did you come up with this?!" Ming Xing said in big curiosity that's was reflected in her deep blue eyes sparkling with stars
"well, yesterday I told mother I had long dream, most of it I forgot about it, but I remember I tried it with chicken egg, so I was interested what if I made it with profound beasts egg, was better than I expected"
"amazing, little Hei! maybe this little bits of dreams will came to your eventually, and will give us more surprises!" Xiao ling hummed while eating, same with ming Xing
while chewing, Hei Dong remember something, "mother, have you heard about shiny crystal that has a lot of energy?"
Xiao ling stopped eating and looked at her boy seriously, "where you heard about that?"
"ehh, from the street, why?" unlike her usual joyful self, she was dead serious
"haaah , I guess it's better to hear about it from me, rather from the street" Xiao ling sighed, "listen, the crystal you talked about is called Purple Veined Heaven Crystal, it incredibly valuable , our city leader, Xiao sect, which is part of main branch located in the blue wind empire, he only few dozens grams of it, and that's our yearly allowance from the main sect!"
"what's it's uses?" ming Xing asked
"mainly for formation, but can used for healing, cultivation, alchemy and all kind of things! it's incredible rare.."
"is there something of higher value?" Hei Dong asked
"... there is...it's called Purple Veined Divine Crystal!, if the earlier one is rare, then this one is million times rarier! this something that only some Divine phoenix or the sacred grounds has! I only know about it because of trip I went in the past of the 5th elder to main sect...in this city, people barely heard of the heaven crystal much less Divine crystal..." she explained
"wow...we are like ant compared to them..." ming Xing
"as long you don't offend them , you will be free on your way.." Xiao ling smiled bitterly
'not offending them? heh, some of these trashs got offended by breathing, unless you got power in your hand, nothing matters' he laughed at his mother nativity, but didn't say anything, because he knows that she knows she just lying to herself
< father, according to father's mother description, there is 99% similarities between the Purple Veined Divine Crystal and the chunk of huge energy underneath east the city >
'how much amount?'
< about 50 kilograms, give or take 5 grams >
'what of chance of discovery?'
< no one discover it until now, so we can assume that under sky realm can find it, and according to records, there is some sky realm who passes from here, but didn't discover it, so that's out too, anyone above the sky realm has the chance the find it..>
'so anyone in emperor realm came to our city this Empire is doomed...'
< why is that father? >
'because if for example divine phoenix found it, they wouldn't want to expose the treasure they found, they would need a cover, and unleashing a war is good cover but not for long, because it wouldn't make sense for such huge empire to invade a small one unless it's has something in at, so the people in the sacred grounds would send spies in order to figure the reason'
< I understand, thanks father , then does father has a solution what to do now? father can ask for some of it, I calculated that one gram is enough for father to open 1 entrance >
'hmm, that's enough?'
< while 1 entrance is trivial and father's talent would be garbage compared to father's twin which has 10, it will be barely enough to open the rest using normal cultivation >
'no need to call my talent garbage!' Hei Dong said in frustration
< but it's the truth >
'ughh whatever' he groaned and said, "mother how much is 1 gram of heaven crystal?"
"well, maybe 3000 purple coins? the average income on our continent is 3 purple coined , so 1000 times the price seems reasonable" she said after pondering
'damn that's ton of money!' he cursed
"you seems quite knowledgeable, mother." ming Xing giggled
"of course! your mother roomed the world in her youth!" Xiao ling said proudly
"I wish to do the same with little Hei, hehehe." she giggled in expectation
"hehe, then do it when you strong enough!" their mother laughed and three continued their breakfast in peace..
