What Samuel didn't know was that Chen Chen had no way to simplify the chip.
In other words, the chip was actually the fully functional one from Upgrade, except that its artificial intelligence was no longer the sinister "STEM," but "God."
God was simply a stripped-down version of X.
Kept in check by X, God wasn't particularly intelligent. It only closely monitored its host's every word and action, to prevent the host from leaking any secrets about Chen Chen.
The moment it detected any inclination or possibility that its host might reveal a secret, God would immediately send a message to X in the cloud. With communication signals everywhere, X could quickly determine how to respond.
But if God found that it couldn't send the message, it would make an even more drastic decision—possibly self-destructing on the spot.
Simply put, the chip was a high-tech communications device combining location tracking, surveillance, and control. It was simply too great an invasion of personal freedom to ever be released to the public.
That said, as long as its other functions weren't activated, it could work perfectly well as a mere neural sensor.
That was what Chen Chen had done for Samuel's daughter. By implanting the chip in her lumbar spine to replace the necrotic nerve fibers, he had enabled her to stand again after ten years of paralysis.
Samuel's daughter's recovery had gone unexpectedly smoothly.
That very evening, once the anesthesia had worn off, Samuel's daughter discovered that the legs she had long since lost all feeling in could once again feel touch.
The next day, she was able to walk slowly with the aid of a walker.
By the third day, aside from still being a little unsteady on her feet, she was basically no different from an ordinary person.
