But unfortunately.

The information sent by Chu Caifeng did not include the status of humans in the entire virtual world, only an introduction to the White Cat Society and several other human organizations within the school.

From the information, Lu Xing learned that there were not many humans in the school. A class usually had only two or three, and no more than five at most.

Thinking that his classmates were all Intelligent Beings made him shudder.

Wait.

How different were the Intelligent Beings in this world from humans?

Too much information was missing. Lu Xing shook his head and continued reading.

"Our White Cat Society has been established for three hundred years. Graduated members are spread throughout the first layer of the world, with an employment rate exceeding 56%. There are thirty members within the school, with one activity room, twelve exclusive loopholes, and we have captured two Intelligent Beings, making them serve us..."

Lu Xing looked left and right, finding it very strange.

No, what exactly did your White Cat Society do? Weren't you resisting the AI Maria? Why were you helping graduated members find jobs?

Of course, capturing two Intelligent Beings could barely be considered an achievement, but compared to the title of "Human Resistance Army," what the White Cat Society did was completely insignificant.

Moreover, these human organizations even competed with each other, just like slandering each other when fighting for food!

After reading the introduction to the White Cat Society, Lu Xing suddenly realized that Jiang Xuannv's identity as a member of the Human Resistance Army was quite impressive. They were the regular army, while the joint organizations of human students within the school couldn't even be considered irregular forces.

No wonder they were instantly defeated by the defense system left by Jiang Xuannv.

"Classmate." An Intelligent Being next to him turned to look at him and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

"N-nothing."

Lu Xing closed the information. Perhaps it was because he had found human organizations, but he now felt quite comfortable dealing with the Intelligent Being's questions.

Undoubtedly, Lu Xing's human consciousness—referring to his subtle facial changes and tone of voice—was very different from that of an Intelligent Being. This was why Chu Caifeng had figured out his identity in just one morning.

Lu Xing felt that he was being watched by many eyes at this moment, but he did not turn his head. This unnecessary action was also one of the differences between humans and Intelligent Beings.

"You are lying," the Intelligent Being classmate stated.

Lu Xing ignored him.

As long as he didn't violate the first two rules, Jiang Xuannv's seventeen hundred points could last for a while.

At this moment, the teacher walked onto the stage. Lu Xing took out his books from his backpack, crossed his arms on the desk, sat with a straight back, and a blank expression on his small face, preparing for class in the classic Jiang Xuannv manner.

But he was persistent. Lu Xing's Auxiliary Chip received a direct message from him: "I know now, you are human, so you lie, unlike us Intelligent Beings."

Lu Xing's heart tightened, and he finally turned to look at him.

He still had a smile on his face and conveyed his words through the message: "Don't worry, I belong to the faction that advocates for harmonious coexistence between humans and Intelligent Beings. I won't tell the teacher."

"What happens if you tell the teacher?" Lu Xing asked him.

"The teacher will punish you and deduct a hundred points from you. Don't you know this? Is your memory chip malfunctioning? I can help you."

"Thank you, but no need."

"You're welcome. If you need any help, you can find me. Since your memory is faulty, let me reintroduce myself. My designation is hjAT1Wui7BB. I've given myself a human name, Wang Bagua. You can call me by my human name in private."

7BB, or rather, Wang Bagua, turned and smiled at him.

Lu Xing nodded slightly, his mind racing with thoughts.

He had witnessed the terrifying aspect of Intelligent Beings, not in their methods of controlling humans, but in the... wisdom displayed by the Intelligent Being beside him.

Lu Xing had too little information to judge the truthfulness of Wang Bagua's words.

However, one thing was certain: ordinary Intelligent Beings didn't know human identities. They also needed to make judgments to reach a conclusion.

In other words, if Lu Xing displayed too many human actions and was reported by a classmate, his score would quickly plummet.

In this world of pill manipulation, he had to constantly pay attention to his expression management. In class, he shouldn't do things that only human students would do, like twirling pens, drawing circles, or sketching historical figures!

"Today, in this class, we will continue to study modern history."

The teacher began lecturing from the podium.

Lu Xing took a few extra glances at the female teacher. The White Cat Society had said that graduating students could find jobs in the virtual world. Therefore, the teacher could also be human.

But it was clear that the humans who could graduate were excellent students who had undergone long-term disguise and would not easily reveal themselves as human.

Lu Xing opened his book, and the first page shocked him.

"Modern history starts from five thousand years ago?!"

He had seen that the White Cat Society had a history of three hundred years and thought they were bragging, like schools in the 21st century boasting about their long history.

He didn't expect it to be true.

The beginning of modern history was when a person named Professor Li Zhe published a paper titled "Revisiting Artificial Intelligence Life Forms."

After that, human society began to collapse for various reasons. After five global upheavals, the Human Federal Council decided to create an unprecedented artificial intelligence life form, and the Maria Project was thus initiated.

This was the prelude to modern history.

Lu Xing then turned to the latter part. After Maria was created, she judged that the human life form had reached the end of its evolution and that human civilization would be destroyed like the Ailando Civilization. After secretly cultivating an army of Intelligent Beings for many years, she successfully controlled the world and began a new chapter for Intelligent Beings and humans.

Modern history ended.

"..."

Lu Xing tried his best to control his expression, only wanting to curse in his heart: Weren't you created by humans? What nonsense about humans reaching the end, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?

He would rather believe that there was a major bug in the Maria created by humans, causing Maria to perform incorrect operations, or that the world was still controlled by humans, and Maria was just a weapon of schemers.

However.

Lu Xing was very interested in alien civilizations. There were too many movies about aliens in the 21st century, but in the future world, aliens were not only confirmed to exist but were also directly destroyed in one go?

Lu Xing had the Smart Hairpin connect to the network and downloaded the historical data, displaying it on his book.

He started reading from the beginning, no, from the 21st century, to see how the future world recorded his era and also to see the future world pattern.

"Earth began to form 4.5 billion years ago..."

Skipped. Lu Xing had already read the history of Earth.

"Humanity progressed from savagery to civilization, discovered the nucleus, built nuclear power plants, invented nuclear weapons, and attempted to utilize the energy generated by nuclear fusion."

Hmm?

Lu Xing scrolled up and down, finding that was all there was. Nothing more.

Wait, what about the five thousand years of history, from the primitive era to the slave era, and then from the slave era to the feudal era?

Confucius, Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Li Shimin, and abroad, Alexander, Jesus, Rome, Shakyamuni...

And the two industrial revolutions, Newton, Einstein, Gauss, Planck...

And China's modern history.

None of that?

Further down, Lu Xing saw the history:

"Ancient humans used nuclear weapons in war. The energy generated by nuclear annihilation enveloped the Earth in a thick cloud of dust, changing the climate. Primitive organisms went extinct in large numbers, and the dark clouds lasted for three hundred years.

After the nuclear war ended, Earth began to move from a system of scattered nations towards integration and unification."
