Chapter 177

"Not outrageous! Not outrageous!" Kiana seemed to have realized that she could use something. She immediately pulled K423 over, put her arm around his shoulder, and said in a cunning manner, "About this matter..."

"Actually, it's not entirely unchangeable," Kiana said with a hint of scheming. "My dad talked to me about this."

"It's not impossible to bring Mom back to life."

"We need to do it like this... like this... like this..."

Cecilia grew increasingly annoyed as she listened. "That Kiana, just as I thought!"

"You're plotting this!" Cecilia smacked the two men on the head. "I'm not going to pretend I didn't hear you!"

"Have you never even paid attention to Li Pu's existence?!"

"You two little rascals!"

While Cecilia was dealing with the two Kiana, the artificial intelligence was getting a little impatient.

Honkai is ever-present, but it doesn't occur all the time. While her primary mission is to combat Honkai, and to fight against Honkai very existence, this is only in the context of large-scale Honkai.

Of course, she was also doing nothing.

Similarly, one of the AI's intelligence-deficient individuals also suffers from internet disconnection phobia. For her, the internet is extremely important, not just for downloading games.

After being without internet for a long time, she finally couldn't sit still any longer.

We absolutely must find out!

Network maintenance takes this long?!

What's going on?!

Chapter 203 Alliance of Attack and Defense

Despite being a human with intellectual disabilities, this ship's onboard AI still has relatively high privileges.

Although there are quite a few restrictions.

But at least she can still go to many places that ordinary crew members can't, and participate in things that ordinary crew members can't participate in, such as network maintenance.

For someone with artificial intelligence, it's like a cold dish on New Year's Eve.

Well, someone with artificial intelligence is that cold dish.

It's not much more, but it's not much less either.

She can maintain the network, and she can maintain the network just as well, and she might even do a better job without her.

Therefore, most of the time, minor maintenance is not considered a sign of someone being "artificially incompetent," and even major maintenance is simply a matter of instructing this "artificially incompetent" person according to regulations.

However, this maintenance was not announced beforehand, and it took quite a long time.

Someone with artificial intelligence couldn't wait any longer.

I'm planning to go check on the progress of the maintenance; she wants to play games too. Single-player games are nice, but after a while, she wants to play online games.

Whether it's dominating weaker opponents or challenging more interesting ones, humans are clearly much more versatile than computer AI.

Whether it's an enemy weaker than a simple enemy, or an enemy even more ruthless than a ruthless enemy.

Humans are far more unpredictable than computer AI.

Only humans could come up with such bizarre and outrageous ideas.

Without these stunts, there would be a lot less interesting stuff.

Someone with artificial intelligence can't wait any longer.

However, I was shocked when I went there.

"You mean Durandal is on the Hyperion?" Li Pu exclaimed in surprise. "I mean, Ai-chan, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? It's Durandal?"

"Of course, what else?" Ai-chan nodded vigorously and said, "She's on the Hyperion."

Ai-chan encountered Durandal on the Hyperion. Durandal and the Blade of Unending are neither Schicksal's secrets nor a secret unit. However, this unit's mission is indeed very special.

Durandal is not a permanent Valkyrie on the Hyperion.

The moment Ai-chan encountered Durandal, she sensed that something was amiss.

"Her arrival was a bit too coincidental," Ai-chan said thoughtfully. "She disconnected the internet as soon as she arrived."

"So," Li Pu said after thinking for a moment, "You think the internet outage wasn't actually for maintenance? It was intentional?"

"That's very likely," Ai-chan said. "Generally speaking, minor maintenance doesn't require notification. Network maintenance usually doesn't last longer than a day."

"At the same time, this network maintenance will be carried out at times that will not cause any disruption."

"For example, during temporary port calls for resupply and rest."

"Sometimes maintenance can even be performed without disconnecting the network."

"Major maintenance takes longer," Ai-chan explained. "This includes equipment maintenance, which needs to be carried out during ship maintenance or when the ship is docked for an extended period of time."

"In short, this kind of maintenance takes a long time, and you will usually be notified in advance."

"Something like this is really rare."

"Hmm..." Li Pu analyzed Ai-chan's words and realized they were indeed correct. Durandal suddenly appeared on the Hyperion without any orders. There was also no news of that Redhead Valkyrie's order from the nearest supply crate. He did, however, pull out a huge pile of materials and low-level weapons.

I've never heard of this guy drawing any Valkyrie.

In every sense, this guy is a dark-skinned jerk.

"Hmm, but..." Li Pu glanced at Ai-chan and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

"How can it not be a problem!" Ai-chan said, a little anxiously. "If this keeps going on, we won't be able to play the game properly, will we?!"

"Right?! Right?! Right, Doctor!"

Because of the game, Ai-chan thinks there's a high probability that this strange thing will lead to a collaboration with Li Pu.

And this isn't the first time they've collaborated.

The previous collaboration went quite smoothly.

"If that's what you're saying," Li Pu said, arms crossed, "The network maintenance has indeed been going on for a while now."

Not being able to play games online is indeed a loss, but not being able to mess with Otto is an even bigger loss! You can totally imagine Otto's current expression.

How much nonsense you spout online.

How could Otto have won if there hadn't been physical network isolation?

Even Doctor Mei...

There are ways to do it, but they are all quite troublesome.

"You're right," Li Pu said. "This maintenance has indeed taken a bit too long."

Li Pu not only wants to ban Otto's account and silence Otto, but he also wants to reach number one in the game! He even wants to tamper with the game content to make Otto the final boss!

This isn't something that can't be done; modifying the model or something similar is possible.

Just like the mods from the previous life.

However, he doesn't want to make it a mod that players can download; he wants to make it mandatory. The kind of mod that will be installed as soon as you download the game.

Although this approach will offend a large number of players.

But it's interesting!

"Do you have any ideas?" Li Pu wasn't in a hurry to come up with any plans. Since Ai-chan had come to him, he might as well listen to Ai-chan thoughts first.

Then, if it's good, do as she says.

Even if something goes wrong then.

Just pin the blame on her.

"Huh?! You're asking me?" Ai-chan was actually stumped by Li Pu's question. Isn't it usually the Doctor who makes the decisions?

This...

But since she'd been asked, Ai-chan suddenly felt trusted and needed. She seriously started thinking about how to handle the situation.

"I think..." Ai-chan thought for a moment and said, "First, we need to know what this guy is doing on the Hyperion."

"If I knew what she was doing here... well, I haven't thought of the rest yet."

"Hmm." Li Pu nodded and praised, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"It is indeed quite troublesome to launch an attack without understanding the other party's purpose."

"Then I'll leave this important matter to you."

"Ai-chan, let's go! My dear partner."

"This is something you absolutely must get done."

'Wow! The professor needs me!' Ai-chan's heart skipped a beat.

"I'll definitely complete the mission well!" Ai-chan said excitedly. "Partner! If we're partners, then we are..."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Li Pu nodded and said, "From now on, we are an alliance, one in principle."

"You must complete your mission well, and you must also take the blame properly."

"I'm entrusting you with an important task."

"It must be done perfectly."

"Although something feels off about what she said," Ai-chan said blankly, "But..."

"I will definitely finish it!"

Chapter 204 This one

"Why does it feel like... something's not right?"

Ai-chan had just left the lab when she suddenly sensed something was wrong. She had a feeling she'd been tricked, and it felt like they'd given her an empty promise to get her involved.

It feels like I've been sold out.

Asking her to take the lead...

"Yeah, but if the internet connection is down for too long," Ai-chan said with a troubled expression, "I won't be able to get this season's rewards."

"This is really difficult."

On one hand, I have to deal with people whose origins I know, but who may be very dangerous. On the other hand, I have to deal with the fact that the internet outage means I can't collect this season's rewards at all.

Between the two options, choose the one that is more important.

So Ai -Ai-chan chose to go find Durandal!

Nothing is more important than this season's rewards! A world without games and without the internet is despairing.

We absolutely have to go!

You absolutely have to go!

Ai-chan hesitated for a long time, but in the end she made her own choice.

Li Pu, huh?

"This halo is much more powerful than I imagined," Li Pu muttered to himself, stroking his chin. "It even works on Ai-chan."

Let Ai-chan take the risk, let Ai-chan take the blame.

This was indeed Li Pu's idea on a whim.

He had no idea that Durandal had come to the Hyperion.

Li Pu originally thought that getting Ai-chan to go would require a lot of persuasion, a series of elaborate schemes, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her.

As a result, they sent Ai-chan without saying much.

Li Pu is definitely riding on a halo!

Otherwise, how could it be so easy?

"So how exactly does this halo affect people?" Li Pu pondered this question carefully and said, "That's quite an interesting topic."
