Chapter 669 - Don’t Leave After School!
Chapter 669: Don’t Leave After School!
“Speaking of which,” Hong Dali looked around. “There’s nothing much around here, just a bug’s corpse and something that looks like a computer—aye, Big Brother Deca, this is the AI you mentioned? Is this usable?” The cab that everyone was in, was a fancy hall that was twenty meters tall and about two hundred meters wide. All the equipment was extremely extravagant and exquisite. The problem was that, at one glance, one could tell that these were electronic devices. The only thing that seemed useful was the smart AI Hong Dali mentioned.
“It’s hard to say. Let me try.” Since the Green-Eyed Metal Bug was already dead and would not hurt anyone, Deca was less afraid. He walked up and said, “I hope Mr. Invincible East didn’t set too high a limit. Otherwise, I won’t be able to operate it.”
He approached the AI and pressed the power button. A whirling sound was heard and the dim hall suddenly lit up. Dazzling lights shone down from the top and brightened the entire hall instantly. Soon, the computer-like device lit up, and a humanoid image emerged from the ground in the center of the cab. It was a projection of a person about 1.8 meters tall. He wore black clothes that looked like a suit. Deca exclaimed, “There were no settings. This… this… this is advanced! An advanced AI with self-awareness!”
“…%¥¥()&()&&,” This advanced AI said something but nobody understood…
“Erm, Uncle AI, what are you trying to say? We don’t understand,” Hong Dali said. “Can you use translator software?”
Deca smacked his face with his hand. “This is Invincible East’s personal AI butler. This is how you talk to it?!”
Silence.
One minute later.
“Ah, it’s tough. I waited for one thousand years. Someone is finally here.” Invincible East’s AI butler beamed as he looked at Hong Dali. “Young man, you are able to enter because you gathered the Five Element Wheel, right? It’s not an easy task to gather the Five Element Wheel, you’re quite powerful.”
“Ah, that, it’s so-so.” Hong Dali blushed. “Maintain, maintain progress…”
As he said that, Tang Muxin suddenly asked curiously, “Aye? Oh right, where is the Five Element Wheel? We focused on opening the door just now. How come the Five Element Wheel cannot be seen now?”
Five Element Wheel was a precious thing. They would suffer a big loss if it went missing.
It was a good thing Invincible East’s AI butler was around. He waved at Hong Dali and said, “Don’t worry. The Five Element Wheel recolonizes its owner. As long as its owner doesn’t die, it will keep hanging around the owner. You can summon it anytime. That aside, young man, come over here.”
“Oh. It’s like this.” Hong Dali subconsciously thought, “Good little Five Element Wheel, come over, quick!”
Indeed, with Hong Dali’s call, Five Element Wheel, the elemental ball circled around Hong Dali. Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw this.
“En, en. Not bad.” Seeing the Five Element Wheel circle around himself, Hong Dali appeared satisfied. He stepped forward and looked at Invincible East’s AI butler. “Uncle Butler, you were looking for me?” In any case, he had always been polite. It didn’t matter that this was just a projected figure. He maintained respect. This AI butler had existed for one thousand years. He would suffer no loss calling it Uncle.
“Haha. you’re so sweet.” It was probably the first time anyone called it Uncle. He seemed happy. “Very well, young man. You’re very polite. I like that. Since you’re here, it shows we’re fated to meet. Are you ready to listen to what happened?”
Deca was dumbfounded. “Oh my God. It is an advanced AI butler with self-awareness, indeed. Invincible East is not an ordinary person… This is not something money can buy!”
“Ah haha, I’m flattered.” Of course, Deca was shocked. However, Hong Dali was rather calm. He ruffled his hair, embarrassed. “I’m not as good as you say I am… I’m ready to listen. Uncle Butler, please start!”
At that moment, AI butler started speaking. “Young man, I’m rather fond of you. If I said I wanted to impart all of my master’s knowledge to you, would you accept it?”
“Gasp—” Hearing that, everyone drew in a cold breath!
This was the Invincible East’s AI butler. Galaxy Mecha Competition’s thirty-six times consecutive winner’s butler. He must own a lot of fighting programs. It was not impossible for Invincible East to impart all his knowledge to this AI butler. But he actually said he was going to impart all his knowledge to Hong Dali. It must be at least a third-level or above martial arts?!
But clearly, the AI butler was bound to be disappointed—Hong Dali shook his head like a den-den daiko. “No, no. I’m not learning anything for fighting or killing. As a superprodigal, if I can make others do something for me, I will definitely not do it myself.”
Long live prodigal ultimate techniques!
“Aye, the knowledge my master took an entire life to attain, now that I’m giving it away, nobody wants it…” Indeed, the AI butler appeared hurt. He was not real, but his expressions looked really really despondent. “This was my master’s pride, after all. It’s a pity, a pity!”
“That,” Hong Dali asked. “Can you impart it to someone else? I have so many lackeys…” He instructed Geezer Wang. “Geezer Wang, come and greet your grandmaster’s butler—Uncle Butler!”
Wang Daoming stepped forward and bowed at the AI butler respectfully. “Descendant disciple Wang Daoming. My greetings, grandmaster’s butler.” Although he was an AI butler, he had followed Invincible East for a long period of time. It was not too much to accept a bow from this descendant disciple.
“Oh?” The AI butler looked at Wang Daoming and nodded. “How much of my master’s skills have you learned?”
Wang Daoming shook his head. “I’m not competent. I only learned about 30%.”
“En, 30%. It’s not a lot, indeed.” The AI butler was a little regretful. “It’s a shame. But that’s no fault of yours. So many years have passed, some of the skills must have been lost in time. It’s a considerable effort to have learned 30%.”
Wang Daoming bowed respectfully. “You flatter me.”
Everyone had their attention on the AI butler. This was the mighty powerhouse. If he imparted even half of his skills, wouldn’t that be better than acquiring any other skills in the virtual world? That was at least third-level and above.
Who would have thought, when the AI butler said that, everyone was silent for a full five minutes. It sighed faintly. “It’s a pity, I’m only my master’s AI butler. What I am able to impart to you, is also only about 30%.”
F**k!
Everyone nearly launched at him when they heard that—you should have said so early instead of making it so vague!
“But,” A but, everyone had their hopes high again. “My master might have left a manual somewhere. One should be able to learn a lot from it.”
Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at Hong all at once—Rascal, don’t leave after school, we’ll dig three meters deep!
But everyone also understood. Simply said, this AI butler was also an amusing idiot. At least his character was amiable. After this conversation, everyone felt that this AI butler was not as difficult to get along as they imagined he’d be—when Wang Daoming mentioned about his ancestors, they could tell that, Invincible East was in fact not such a strict master, that his disciples could creating havoc. It was understandable that his AI butler would joke around…
They could then infer that Invincible East was someone who not only had incredible skills, but also someone with a relatively easy-going personality.
He might have loved to joke, and was a little unconventional—people who have unique talents tend to be more unconventional.
For example, Chuyin’s calmness, Zhang Yi’s coquettishness, Li Nianwei’s gentleness, Tang Muxin’s domineeringness, Hong Dali’s unfeelingness…
“Alright, let’s get to business, then.” When everyone quietened down, The AI butler put out his hand and pointed to the middle of the cab. A mechanical whirling sounded, the ground in the middle of Thunder Angel began to twist and turn little by little, then got divided into two sides, revealing a passage.
“Come with me to worship the master.” The projection of the AI butler led the way like a real person. Everyone hurriedly kept up.
“Follow him to worship the master?” Tang Muxin asked Hong Dali softly. “Did Invincible East return after he died?”
Everyone was confused. Invincible East encountered some setbacks and returned when he got old? Did the AI butler want to harm them? It shouldn’t be. Wang Daoming was Invincible East’s great great great great great great grand-disciple, after all… By right, grandmasters wouldn’t harm their grand-disciples…
