AI Humanlike Artificial Intelligence Technology Programming

Ye Jin walked into the library and turned on the lights.

A night alone, a silence all his own.

He made himself a cup of hot coffee to stay alert through the night.

Coffee in hand, he found the shelves on the computer science side and resumed reading computer books.

Sitting on the wooden stool, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

He ran off and brought back the librarian's chair.

After settling into it, he let out a comfortable groan.

This felt amazing.

So being a librarian felt this good. No wonder the Grand Ancestor had started out as one. It was a pretty good job!

The work was stable, and he was sheltered from wind and rain.

And for a book lover, it was practically paradise.

The same was true for him now.

He took a sip of coffee and turned his attention to the book in his hands.

"Database System Concepts"!

He had reaped quite a haul this time.

Five thousand Talent Points.

That was several times more than before.

Though he still owed ten thousand, that was something he wouldn't need to think about until a month later.

For now, he would deal with what was in front of him.

He felt he was still too slow. On average, it took him eight minutes to finish reading a book.

He had to speed up.

He didn't need to do something as unrealistic as "quantum reading," but he at least had to pick up the pace!

He had experimented before.

If he flipped too fast, he couldn't trigger the final talent-learning mechanism. He had to at least scan every page.

Five thousand Talent Points, two hundred and fifty books.

Even if each book took only five minutes,

That was fucking... 1,250 minutes.

More than twenty hours.

Time to get cracking!

Everyone saw him rapidly flipping through books, his expression utterly serious.

They were cursing in their hearts!

Fuck your mother!

What the hell is he even doing?

Are you going to leave anyone a way to live?

It's the middle of the night, and instead of playing games, watching variety shows, or sleeping, you've run off to the library to read, and the books you're reading are the most obscure, hard-to-understand computer books!

Where does that leave computer science majors like us?!

And aren't you just flipping through pages? Why do you look so serious?

Oh, wait, no. You have a godlike memory!

But if your memory is that powerful, do you really need to work so hard?

They were on the verge of spitting blood and dying.

They had seen hardworking people, but never anyone this hardworking!

Thankfully, not everyone was like him.

If everyone were like him, there would be no surviving in this society.

Everyone would be worked to death by involution.

Five minutes, reading complete!

Next, another book.

"The Practice of Programming"!

This time, he was even faster.

He shaved half a minute off the previous five, finishing in just four and a half minutes.

That was progress.

Then, the next book.

"Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective"!

"Clean Code"!

"Writing Solid Code"!

"The Art of High-Quality Programming"!

"Implementation Patterns"!

"Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code"!

"Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes"!

Ye Jin got faster and faster!

He went to get a book, flipped through it, closed it, put it back on the shelf, then took another.

His movements formed an assembly line.

Everything he did flowed like clouds and water.

There was no pause at all.

During his earlier extreme free solo climb, his Human Body Shackles had been unlocked another ten percent.

This had filled him, who had been somewhat tired, with mental energy again. He couldn't feel the slightest trace of fatigue.

He wondered silently whether those who had taken on extreme sports before had experienced anything similar.

What he didn't know was this.

There had been all kinds of extreme athletes in the world.

But none of them had broken through their limits.

Even among the top athletes, those who managed to break through their Human Body Shackles hadn't reached half his level.

To break through one hundred percent,

Even a lifetime of effort wouldn't be enough.

Twenty percent at most was the limit.

Time passed bit by bit.

He stayed there the whole time, like a Buddha, calm and composed, without a trace of impatience on his face, neither arrogant nor rash as he flipped through books at high speed.

His speed had approached three minutes per book.

And it was still increasing.

The viewers on the other side of the screen were practically in tears.

They had been watching for three hours.

Why hasn't he stopped yet?

I've lost ten matches of Honor of Kings in a row!

And I still haven't seen you take a break.

Other than occasionally going to pour yourself a cup of coffee, you've thrown yourself into these books the entire time. What on earth is so attractive about them?

No matter how they looked, they couldn't see a single flower in them.

In three hours, Ye Jin

Had read more than fifty books.

Aside from taking a little longer at the beginning, he had kept his time under four minutes for every other book.

His efficiency had improved by more than a notch compared to before.

And on the warship in his mind, more than 120 points of light had now been lit in the command system section, counting the ones from before.

That was no small achievement.

Give him another two days, and he could light up every point.

The more he thought about it, the more he had to look forward to.

He continued burning the midnight oil.

The viewers were about to cry. Please, go to sleep! I want to sleep too!

Can't you stop working so hard?

You're making me look useless!

Isn't this just blatant involution?

I'm crying, I'm crying!

Just as Ye Jin finished his sixtieth book, an electronic notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding, obtained a key command system technology: AI humanlike artificial intelligence technology programming."

He had been concentrating so hard that the sudden voice startled him, and he nearly threw the book in his hands.

Only after recovering did his expression turn strange.

A key technology.

AI humanlike artificial intelligence technology programming.

The name sounded pretty impressive.

But he had heard the term AI artificial intelligence before.

At present, the company that had refined this technology reasonably well was the Tesla Company.

But they also had major limitations.

Completely simulating human emotions would be almost impossible without forty or fifty years of research.

And how to apply it was another difficult problem.

But an AI system from a level-three civilization ought to be more than a little more powerful, right?

He stopped reading.

He rubbed his hands together.

Artificial intelligence sounded so exciting!

Maybe he should try creating an artificial intelligence first. No one was talking to him anyway, so he could start by creating one that could talk.

He immediately made up his mind. He would create an artificial intelligence first!

When he stopped, everyone on the other side of the screen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were delighted. So you get tired too!

We can finally rest.

After all, it was almost midnight.

But Ye Jin, who they thought was "going to rest," suddenly walked over to the computer in the library management room and sat down, his hands beginning to dance.

His hands fluttered across the keyboard like colorful butterflies.

His gaze gradually grew excited.

Through the camera, everyone saw him create a new programming project, open a source file, and begin typing a string of gibberish.

They couldn't understand it at all.

Even the computer science majors couldn't understand it.

"What... does that mean?"

"Is this supposed to be a joke? How long has he been studying? And he only read one book today. Even with unparalleled memory and comprehension, there's no way he could write a piece of code on the spot."

"Stop watching, stop watching. It's all gibberish. He's probably just relaxing."

Meanwhile, elsewhere,

The host, Brian, announced, "The day is almost over. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp, we'll announce the rankings. Stay tuned!"

Thanks to the big shot I and the Spring Breeze Are Both Passersby for the 200-book-coin tip!!!
