It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 197 Overcoming the Tribulation
It looks like the harvest is pretty good...

It's just that there seem to be too many "Special Attacks Against Humanity" -

Among the three major creations harvested, two are specialized in this direction.

Is he really going to be a demon king? Xia Zhi couldn't help but ponder. This doesn't seem good. As a peace-loving person, he shouldn't be associated with that style. Those are just prejudices and misunderstandings of the world.

——Besides, the Demon King is too boring.

——You know, he is a man who will become a demon god one day!
Of course, the point is to become a demon god, not a demon god's man... He is very serious about this as his goal.

Shaking his head, Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that he could spend more energy on the primate killer. The main reason was that the other two did not need his care. After all, one was a living spell, which was essentially a magic with will.

The other is the nano-cluster consciousness that is in charge of the mesoscopic field. It is extremely intelligent and has a bunch of cute MODs installed. From voice prompts to anthropomorphic images, you can combine them however you want, whether it's Lexington's voice or Hatsune Miku's portrait. The main feature is the full degree of customization freedom.

——So he doesn't need to worry about either of them.

——Naturally, only the primate killers need to be more concerned.

The little thing's name is Fufu, but in fact it is just to be recognized by the world when asking Miss Suzumiya for a title, so as not to be judged as an "illegal household". After all, it is not the same as the real Fufu, it is completely another independent individual.

After all, without any past memories, and having lost all intellect, an individual who has grown up from a blank template and embarked on another trajectory...

Is it really still the same entity as before?

Even if it was Fufu of Chaldea, after losing all her memories and intelligence and turning into an ordinary beast, even if she was able to learn and grow again, it would be hard to say that she was still the original fourth beast.

So, the same is true for the little things now.

Moreover, its mind and character were still very immature, and Xia Zhi didn't want it to grow up crooked. He wanted an obedient and loyal puppy, not a crazy, cold, and even uncontrollable beast...

“Maybe we can give it a new skin?”

The magician thought about it for a while and felt that he could start with the appearance, which was a very good entry point.

People are visual creatures, and most people don't have much resistance to furry and cute creatures. The cuter the creature, the higher their initial favorability, and they can easily gain the goodwill of most people. Therefore, as long as Fu Fu maintains the disguise of a cute creature under normal circumstances, she will not suffer any malicious intent.

This is the racial characteristic of primate killers. If they do not come into contact with human society, they will not cause any harm.

But if it comes into contact with human society, the direction in which it will grow will be determined by the performance of the people it comes into contact with, with kindness and malice being the most obvious dividing line.

Although the judgment mechanism in this regard is actually very complicated, it does not simply consider the kindness or malice of humans towards primate killers, but also needs to consider the behavior of humans towards their own kind, the ugliness and brilliance reflected behind various behaviors... and so on. These are all the nourishment for its growth.

However, Xia Zhi believes that this has some positive effects to some extent, and it is better to do it than not to do it.

Moreover, when facing cute and adorable animals, most people are unwilling to expose their ugly side, and will be more or less restrained in their hearts.

In fact, Fu Fu's original skin is cute enough, but it is obviously an abnormal "new species". It may fool students who have not seen the world much, but there is no guarantee that other people have ulterior motives, which may easily attract covetousness and malice.

This is also why Xia Zhi felt it necessary to unlock new skins for it.

"Erha seems to be a good choice..."

He thought about it seriously, and at the same time let the gray Gu project a high-definition interface in his eyes. The resolution far exceeded that of 4K or 8K, but was infinitely close to the clarity that the human eye sees directly. It was like opening a gallery full of photos of dogs.

He randomly picked one that looked good, and then decisively gave instructions:

"This is it. Change it a little bit. It should look better. The fur can be purer, but not all white."

"Copy that, Master."

A pleasant voice sounded, and Gray Wind, who could only be seen in his field of vision, spoke seriously, just winking at him and blinking one eye.

By the way, her universal interactive interface today is the image of Ikaros.

——The one in “Heaven’s Lost Property”.

——This leads to a slight disharmony.

After all, this "Icarus" doesn't seem to be a fool, but rather too lively and energetic.

“Maybe we need to make some adjustments. While changing the image, we will also fine-tune the AI’s personality based on the character settings of the portraits used, so that it will be more appropriate.”

Xia Zhi noticed this and began to think about how to improve it.

This image is not something he deliberately adjusted, but it is randomly selected every day, just like the wallpaper on the computer desktop is rotated, whatever is in the gallery may be selected. He just provided resources and imported a bunch of classic image templates, games, animation, movies, TV series, etc.

Those that left some impression in his memory, that he could recall, that he might occasionally think of -

Imported in.

Although it is a bit of a bad taste, it is also necessary. If something like super artificial intelligence behaves too conservatively, it will inevitably appear boring. Moreover, intelligent creatures are usually visual animals, and they are more inclined to appreciate and accept beautiful things, and are more likely to show kindness to things they think are beautiful.

He is currently no exception.

So the reason is the same as the situation Fu Fu is facing -

Although it is not a racial characteristic, as a super artificial intelligence, the nano-cluster consciousness can undoubtedly easily distinguish the attitude of the master towards it or them, and judge whether it is good or bad. The originally loyal AI was forced to rebel by the stupid creator. This routine is indeed seen many times in various movies and games.

Of course, Xia Zhi would not completely believe in this routine, but he still felt that this preventive measure, which only required a tiny amount of computing power resources to accomplish, was better than nothing.

In this way, even if Gray Wind really loses control——

It should be heading towards the out-of-control servitors, not the Ironheart Exterminator, right? Thinking about these things, Xia Zhi waited earnestly for the result - in fact, there was no need to wait. Although the nano intelligence was currently limited to the area of this workshop, with the terrifying computing power of Gray Wind, even if it had not yet been deployed, it would far exceed the sum of all human computers in the 21st century.

This is a small problem that does not require much computing resources and does not even require a special project.

It only takes a moment to complete.

However, there was always a gap between when Huifeng received the task and when he reported that he had completed it, no matter how fast he worked. In addition, his thinking was extremely fast, so he was able to think about many things during this gap and created a feeling that he was waiting.

Quickly picking out the plans presented by Huifeng, Xia Zhi quickly made a decision: "Let's go with this one. Make a nano-coating based on this."

Yes, changing skin is that simple.

Nano-intelligence will easily handle all these things, from design to implementation, and can complete them perfectly.

Huifeng also accepted the task very neatly, which made Xia Zhi feel more comfortable than ever before, but he also realized that the situation seemed to be a little bit subtle. He touched his chin, examined his current situation, and found out where the problem was.

This seems to have some meaning of cyber cultivation?

But never mind. My own painting style isn’t very orthodox to begin with. After all, I was also a magic cultivator before, so the difference now isn’t that big.

Shaking his head and not dwelling on the issue anymore, he was just about to focus on the next thing when he suddenly heard the sound of someone pushing the door open.

"Huh? Where's my room?"

The captain walked in yawning, rubbed his eyes, then glanced around, subconsciously puzzled.

As I said, the power of habit is strong. At this point, she began to feel sleepy. Subconsciously, driven by the muscle memory and thinking inertia developed in more than ten thousand cycles, she naturally prepared to go straight back to her "room".

"..."

"..."

"over there……"

The magician simply snapped his fingers, and on the wall not far away, the silver-white metal surface changed rapidly. Countless miniature modules continued to split, rotate, and change, and in the blink of an eye, an independent room area appeared.

"You can decorate it yourself. Just tell me what style you want. You should understand."

"Oh, by the way, it's not there yet." Suzumiya Haruhi also realized, "So, the room I'm going to have next is also created by your mansion technique?"

What kind of mansion technique...

In fact, it is just to mark out an area in the warehouse space and arrange it into a place suitable for living. The so-called "one hundred invisible servants" are just nanomachines working hard, and they can of course easily complete various degrees of housework and work.

However, Xia Zhi would not expose himself actively. He knew that Miss Suzumiya liked this style, so he nodded and readily admitted: "That's it."

Sure enough! I knew it!
Suzumiya Haruhi's mood suddenly became very happy. She looked at the room not far away, but did not walk over directly. Instead, after thinking about it, she pretended to walk towards Xiazhi's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

"what are you doing here?"

She was full of curiosity, but when she approached the summer solstice, she didn't see anything.

The table in front of him was also empty, with nothing on it, which made Miss Suzumiya a little disappointed, and also a little suspicious - could it be that this guy had hidden in the room early in the morning and was just sitting here in a daze, doing nothing?
"What are you looking at?"

Of course the young man knew the captain's little thoughts and asked calmly.

Anyway, I have now fully entered the stage of paperless office and there is no need to leave any traces.

But he has always been very careful and would not rashly expose certain dangerous and uncertain things in front of the other party to prevent some unexpected situations... For example, letting Miss Suzumiya read a magic book, and then having wild thoughts about the "abnormal consciousness" and "different laws" in it.

This is something that needs attention, just like him and Yuki Nagato, they would only tell her certain things and not leave her too much room for imagination.

That would be too dangerous and full of uncertainty.

"Nothing, just a little curious. Were you just daydreaming here?" Suzumiya Haruhi did not hide it. Since they were already very familiar with each other, she asked the question directly.

"I'm on the phone with my girlfriend, is that ok?"

"Stop it, what you said before was just a lie. Your girlfriend doesn't even exist in this world!" The leader confidently pointed out at him, and at the same time, he looked down on him: "You're obviously not single at all, but you still have to pretend to be so philandering and experienced, tsk tsk."

Summer Solstice: "..."

Well, it's normal for Suzumiya Haruhi to think so.

After all, she hadn't contacted her fiancée or girlfriend for 15,000 times, so she would be very sharp to realize that "they" didn't exist in this world, so she had a new understanding of what she said before...

Or new misunderstandings.

After all, I am actually quite experienced.

"Okay, you noticed it."

The young man thought about it, then sighed.

"Actually, I'm about to break through and pass the tribulation, so I'm a little nervous and worried."

"what?"

The captain looked at him strangely: "You seemed to have said before that you were about to reach the foundation-building stage, right? Does this also require a tribulation?"
