I asked Zhang Jing what kind of mechanical beast the leader of the beast pack was, but her answer left me stunned.
She said it was a mechanical cat, a mechanical cat no bigger than an ordinary cat.
I found that hard to believe.
In my understanding, whether human or beast, wasn't it always the strong who ruled? Even mechanical beasts should be the same. Yet a mechanical cat had become the leader of the beast pack. What was going on?
"Don't underestimate that cat. It's the doctor's pet." She gave a bitter smile, and I frowned. The doctor's pet? Did that mean this cat differed from other mechanical beasts?
"Its IQ cap is one hundred and sixty. But before this, the doctor had kept its IQ restricted to one hundred and ten, and it broke through that restriction on its own."
I asked, "What do you mean, it broke through the restriction on its own?"
Zhang Jing smiled bitterly. "You can think of it as the result of self-evolution. It doesn't have much combat power, but it subdued the other mechanical beasts through its intelligence. The doctor gave it high intelligence, but he put a lock at one hundred and ten. In theory, it shouldn't have been able to unlock it itself, yet it did. Its IQ instantly maxed out at one hundred and sixty. Do you know what an IQ of one hundred and sixty means?"
I nodded. I actually knew a thing or two about IQ.
Zhang Jing continued, "It's not just its IQ. Its emotional intelligence is also very high. The crucial thing is that the doctor was bored, so he even gave it a learning mechanism. Its comprehension and insight have already surpassed those of more than ninety-five percent of normal humans."
I couldn't help
