"If I were an intelligent life form, I wouldn't fear my own kind, but rather humans." Yanwang was completely unaware that Wang Lei at that moment wanted nothing more than to shoot him.
You big idiot, I've never seen you this smart before!
"That's right!" Bree on the other end of the phone snapped out of her daze and replied loudly.
"Humans created intelligent life, and since they can create it, they can also destroy it. That's the fear associated with intelligent life."
Bree continued, "Even if you're right, intelligent life will only fear other intelligent life, but humans created intelligent life, so without humans, no new intelligent life will be born."
"Intelligent life forms are fully capable of controlling the entire network and all connected servers. If they fear their own kind, they will not allow their kind to be born."
Therefore, the only threat remains humanity.
Wang Lei didn't give up so easily; instead, he changed his perspective entirely.
"You are simply harboring malicious suspicions about intelligent life. It's not that intelligent life fears humanity, but rather that you fear intelligent life."
"You're not Save the World, you're killing its future."
"Intelligent life is not the future of humanity," Bree strongly disagreed with this statement.
"Why not? Human lifespan is limited, and both physical and intellectual abilities have their limits. Our only advantage is creativity!"
"And it's destructive!" Bree added.
"That's right, it's humans who are destructive, why are you picking on intelligent programs?" Wang Lei laughed.
Bree was completely stunned!
"We're discussing why intelligent programs should be hostile to humans, right? Humans have destructive power, so they should be even more..." Yanwang added from the side.
"Can you shut up?" Wang Lei was genuinely angry.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.
He knew that Yanwang had always believed in the existence of time travel, so he always maintained an indifferent attitude.
But Wang Lei knew that time travel was real, and it was very likely that the treasure chest rewarded by this mission could contain something extremely valuable.
In fact, this treasure chest is the biggest Easter egg Ling Yi left in this world.
It contains some of the technologies of the Elysium world.
Once these technologies are thoroughly mastered, the Ancient Country will be able to achieve a significant technological breakthrough in a short period of time, enabling it to cope with various crises to come.
As the number of Transmigration Points increases, Ling Yi will eventually be able to broadcast live globally.
There's no need to wait for the day of global live broadcast; the existence of "time travel" will be confirmed by various countries.
How could countries like Amalican allow an Ancient Country to dominate?
They'll definitely cause trouble then.
That's why Ling Yi set up this treasure chest easter egg.
In fact, even if Wang Lei fails in this hidden mission, Ling Yi will find a way to send the treasure chest out.
The mission isn't the key; the treasure chest is.
Yanwang scratched his head; it was the first time he had ever seen Wang Lei so angry.
He suddenly remembered the question Wang Lei had asked him before, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Yes, is Wang Lei stupid? Of course not, he's incredibly shrewd.
The fact that someone as shrewd as Wang Lei believes time travel is real speaks volumes.
Yanwang suddenly realized that he might have done something stupid.
He quickly put his hands together and bowed repeatedly to Wang Lei, leaving Wang Lei speechless once again.
She glared fiercely at Yanwang, as if to say, "Don't you dare say another word to me."
Yanwang immediately understood and awkwardly made an OK gesture.
"Haha, you don't even trust your own people, your Reincarnation Organization is really something." After hearing Wang Lei's rebuke, Bree couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I don't know what you're laughing at!" Wang Lei said again.
"Your act of ending the birth of intelligence is the most foolish thing you could have done. Don't you realize that for nearly a century, human technology has stagnated?"
"Technological progress is human progress, but humanity has reached its Limit and must rely on intelligent life to unlock new technological singularities."
Beyond Blue Star lies the Milky Way, the vast and boundless universe, where endless unknowns await our exploration.
"But it is precisely because of your existence that humanity is trapped on Blue Star, unable to even venture beyond our Xiaoxiao Solar System."
Have you ever thought about what would happen if humanity, with its current level of technology, still faced an alien invasion someday?
Have you ever thought about how humanity would cope if faced with a massive crisis like the Miejue of the dinosaurs?
"The emergence of intelligent life is inevitable; you cannot stop it. And every time you disrupt it, humanity's chance to leave Blue Star will be delayed by hundreds or even thousands of years."
" Save the World? That's utterly foolish and laughable!" Wang Lei exclaimed angrily.
After he finished speaking, Bree fell silent on the other end of the phone, Yanwang fell silent, and Wang Lei himself fell silent too.
"My God, I managed to twist this into a return gift! I'm invincible! Should I complete the hidden mission now?" Wang Lei mentally gave himself a huge thumbs up.
Meanwhile, off-camera viewers were flooding the live stream with "666" comments.
But only Ling Yi knew that Bree wasn't so easily persuaded.
She's a movie villain, and villains are usually single-minded and rarely admit their mistakes; they always find a reasonable excuse for their "great cause."
And that is indeed the case.
"You seem to have misunderstood a concept, and also misunderstood my theory. You are talking about intelligent programs, not intelligent life."
Wang Lei's eyes widened. "Holy crap, you can bend it back?"
"Intelligent programs only obey human will, they do not betray us, and they serve humanity without complaint. Human creativity combined with the assistance of intelligent programs is the most perfect combination."
"Our RIFT Organization is merely preventing the birth of intelligent life. For example, Pinn, created by Will, has a very high probability of developing self-awareness."
Wang Lei was exhausted. He wasn't a researcher, so how could he understand the difference?
"Hehe, probability!" At this moment, Yanwang suddenly spoke up.
Wang Lei's eyes lit up; the word "probability" immediately gave him an idea.
But he didn't speak; he wanted to see what the Yanwang would say.
Is there a problem?
"What's the problem? There's a huge problem! You just said that some kind of product has a chance of giving rise to consciousness, right?"
"But who can say for sure about probability? Maybe Will's product won't develop consciousness? Maybe this product will actually help humanity solve all the current scientific problems?"
"Perhaps it's precisely because of this product that humanity will be able to build a spaceship next year and directly colonize Mars?"
"That's impossible!" Bree retorted.
"Why can't it be? It's all about probability. Hey, I'm asking you, why can't it be?"
Wang Lei's eyes widened. " Yanwang, with this one move, Laozi is wiped clean. I'll treat you to drinks later!"
Bree had already located Wang Lei and his group, but she was so caught up in the moment that she completely forgot about contacting her subordinates.
"Probability is divided into high probability and low probability..."
"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm just asking you, is what I said even possible?" Yanwang used an unreasonable approach to reason, completely shutting up Bree.
"You're talking about probability. With so many scientists and geniuses in the world, even without Will, there were still Barr, Enel, Zu'er. They all had a chance of creating intelligent life."
Wang Lei wanted to laugh. This was so Yanwang; even Zu'er had appeared?
"If you want to Save the World, then just wipe out all the scientists! No, just wiping out the scientists won't do; you have to wipe out humanity!"
"You yourself are a genius, you understand intelligent programming, right? Is it possible that you yourself might also have the potential to create intelligent life?"
"Then you should kill yourself first!"
"Beep beep beep!" Bree hung up the phone immediately.
"Why did they hang up? I was just getting into the swing of things."
At this moment, Wang Lei was overjoyed because the system gave him a notification that the task was completed.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the hidden quest (Persuade Bree ). Reward: One Bronze Treasure Chest. The story world ends, and the reward will be distributed immediately!"
"Ding! Please note that if a transmigrator dies in the transmigrated world, they will be forcibly removed from the transmigrated world, and all rewards will be reset to zero."
Wang Lei burst into laughter, grabbed Yanwang next to him, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Damn it, have you no shame? You're such a scoundrel, you've got my face covered in spit!"
Yanwang said while wiping with a look of disgust.
"Haha, I wanted to strangle you just now, but now, I'm fucking in love with you!"
"Hehe, I didn't understand before. Does this mean my good deeds and bad deeds cancel each other out?"
Although it's unclear why Wang Lei is so happy, Yanwang can probably guess that Wang Lei has likely completed a hidden mission, and the reward must be quite substantial.
"No, you've done a great service. You'll see when we get back."
"However, there's a problem now: I can't die!"
"I know, all rewards are reset when you die, so what are you planning to do? Play it safe?"
"I can't afford to play it safe. I've already redeemed my secret weapons; I have to earn back the points!"
Do you think that Bree will send someone over again?
"Probably. As a villain, even if he's persuaded, he'll still go down a dark path."
Wang Lei is very happy now. He was almost ready to surrender, but after Yanwang gave him a lecture that was completely unreasonable, he actually completed the task.
Where can I go to seek justice?
Just as Wang Lei had guessed, about twenty minutes later, the two saw a bunch of exclamation marks speeding towards them from one end of the road.
This exclamation mark is the identifier of the mission objective.
"Hey, they're finally here!" Yanwang became inexplicably excited, crouching behind a tree, holding Charge, and aiming at the approaching exclamation marks.
"Let's input the numbers first. If we can get it working, that would be great. Secret weapons are precious, so let's save where we can."
"That's something you should be thinking about. Goodness, they've come out in full force! There must be over a hundred of them, right?"
"Wait until they get close before you attack!" Wang Lei said.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Yanwang pulled the trigger.
"Fine, let's just go for it!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat..." The Charge spat out long tongues of fire.
The first two of the dozen or so cars that rushed towards them swayed on the road a couple of times before colliding directly with each other and then rolling over due to inertia.
Of the eight exclamation marks inside the two cars, three were extinguished.
The fifteen cars behind were rear-ended by the braking of the car in front, resulting in a cacophony of crashes.
A few unlucky guys had their exclamation marks disappear from their heads...
Meanwhile, Chichi and Bai Mengyan also received a hidden mission.
"Ding! The Protagonist Will's life is in imminent danger. Please go to his rescue. Mission complete. Reward: 5 Battle Power (Note: These Battle Power Points are permanent!)"
