The Pond Was Too Small

Hearing Bai Yang's question, Fox furrowed his brow. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "Boss, we've developed this system to its absolute limit. It's so intelligent that all it takes is a single command for it to carry out a task perfectly. But we can't give the system a 'soul.'
