[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] realized something that seemed insignificant.
Of course, the key point is "seemingly". The moment he realized it, it was no longer a small matter.
The point is that, judging from the vehicle's production time, the creation and naming of the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess" was less than half a month ago.
In other words, the Machine Spirit he activated was an individual still in the corresponding human infancy stage.
Everyone knows that babies have a bright future, but right now babies really can't do much...
Faced with the questioning gazes of the crowd, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ]'s expression turned somewhat unpleasant:
"Everyone, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which do you want to hear first?"
At this point, everyone had some guesses about the outcome of the plan, but compared to the actual situation, it was hard to say whether it was better or worse than they had expected.
In short, after [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] first expressed a desire to hear good news, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] revealed an exaggerated smile:
"We've really activated the Machine Spirit!"
He made his signature "praise the sun" gesture and happily addressed the crowd:
"Everyone here has contributed, so they are all the 'parents' of this Machine Spirit!"
These seemingly warm words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] and [ Do Some Farm Work ] are probably the two oldest among these Soul Returner have returned home, and they have already entered the work phase.
As for the others, none of them seem to have graduated from university yet; they are all in a state of clear-headed folly, having just reached adulthood.
So when they found out they were going to be parents, almost everyone hugged their arms and trembled for a moment.
"I don't need a father, a godfather will do."
[ The Good Times Don't Last ] made a "huh" sound, then remembered something and looked at [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] and asked:
"Wheel, what's the bad news?"
The expression on [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ]'s face immediately fell:
"Oh dear, the bad news is that our Machine Spirit is still in its infancy because it was just activated, so it seems it can't be of much help to us. Look at the mess we've made..."
He delivered the bad news in a rapid-fire manner, and even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still felt his cheeks flush slightly, after all, he hadn't thought of such an important matter before.
The players in front of him exchanged bewildered glances, then [ Shit Appraisal Master ] casually waved his hand and said boldly:
"I understand what you mean. I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just that your level is too low."
"I'm a veteran player of pet games; I've raised countless powerful creatures from all sorts of Pokémon, monsters, and summoned beasts."
"Tell me, what in the game ' World of Disorder ' can be used to make experience potions? I'll spend all my money to turn this Machine Spirit into an adult within three days."
Seeing the [ Shit Appraisal Master ]'s wealthy and arrogant demeanor, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] felt a pang of guilt once again.
He asked awkwardly:
What's the most important thing about experience potions?
"What else could it be? It's just medicine, isn't it?"
"No, experience is what matters."
"... Isn't this pure nonsense?"
You still don't understand.
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] covered his head in frustration:
"Experience takes time to accumulate. Only by making a mistake this time can you learn to avoid it next time. Only by observing the process this time can you complete it independently next time. And all the accumulation of experience takes time."
"So King of Fall Resistance, I Guess needs isn't any potion, but time to accumulate experience, just like those AI models that need to learn before they can work."
[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] thought for a moment and asked:
"At worst, we can start training it now, or show it videos or materials..."
"So, according to your logic, how long would it take for our ' King of Fall Resistance, I Guess to grow to the level of Antasia?"
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] remained silent, extended one hand, and made a "seven" gesture.
Seven days?
Seventy years.
A hoarse, bitter voice came through, meeting the murderous gazes of the crowd, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] explained:
What enabled the Antasia to make the most beneficial judgment for the whole at the moment its Machine Spirit was activated?
"It's the memory and heritage of this fortress, which has served for nearly seventy years, that is even more profound than that of humankind."
"It can optimize its judgment logic based on the decisions that Gray, Gray's teacher, and Gray's teacher's teacher have made, becoming Left and Right Arms comparable to a real-world intelligent voice assistant."
"But what's so special about the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess?"
"Is he less than fourteen days old? Or does he have memories that are practically blank?"
Although it ended with a question, everyone finally understood the meaning of the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] and why he felt so guilty.
Firstly, it's because although the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess was activated, it couldn't function properly due to its limited memory and lack of rational thinking and logic.
Secondly, it's because the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess has awakened, so the ultimate control of this small fortress naturally falls to the Machine Spirit itself.
After all, the owner of a body always has the right to Domination that body.
Therefore, the current situation of everyone is quite predictable.
The seven people are now like unlucky souls trapped inside a monster's belly. Unless they use the Teleportation Tree, they need the consent of the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess" to leave.
But this little guy is still a baby, so it's uncertain whether he can understand human speech...
If it can't understand human speech, then they'll need to teach the Machine Spirit to speak.
If it could understand human speech, that would be even worse.
Because [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] said something inappropriate before.
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] didn't even know why the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess" was sobbing at this moment.
Was it because of my vague statement about "useless things"?
Or is it simply because it was newly born, and like human consciousness, it subconsciously began to cry?
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] I hope it's the latter; otherwise, how am I supposed to deal with Machine Spirit that hears a reprimand the very first thing it says upon waking?
At that moment, not only the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] but also the single people present, all of whom were actually living in the same world, thought of a popular online term—"family of origin."
Given the level of intelligence of the NPCs in this World of Disorder, the players had no doubt that this young Machine Spirit would remember this incident forever and bring it up repeatedly in the days to come, just like the rebellious phase that everyone has experienced in real life.
After a long silence, seemingly having just weathered this period, [ the Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] asked earnestly:
"Will this guy later complain to other Machine Spirit about his family background?"
