Chapter 739: Chapter 739

Who exactly is talking to him, and what did they mean just now?

Why would Grace know about his current situation?

How does this robot know he wants to overwrite her program?

The tangled mysteries wound around Lin Xian’s heart like thick tar. Since encountering Chu Yan and the Deep Red World, he began to feel an incomparably mysterious presence seemingly watching him. Yet the ’reminder’ at the Zero Element Center, based on the outcome, was indeed ’benevolent’ toward Lin Xian, which only made him more perplexed.

If it wasn’t Chu Yan, then why would the Deep Red World help him?

In carriage 21, both Lin Xian and KIKI were enveloped in a state of shock. The previous scene was too bizarre, even KIKI was caught off guard.

"Transcending dimensions, resonant effect... is she trying to tell us something?" KIKI said.

Lin Xian shook his head: "I can’t quite grasp it, but my intuition tells me this information is very crucial!"

"Then... should we tell the others?" KIKI asked.

Lin Xian’s face darkened slightly, repeating Grace’s words in a low voice, "In transcending dimensions, do not understand based on your own dimension, the power of the Dark World must possess a resonant effect..."

"Does it mean that the power of the Dark World uses its own dark dimensional existence to interfere..." KIKI quickly realized: "For instance, Hell Black Chrysanthemum sensing S-Class existence, Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube blocking dark invasion, Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes clearing the stratification of dark space!"

Lin Xian stared: "Disaster plants and taboo items are all entities under the dark dimension. Now the Federation and Phoenix Society are researching dark existences to combat disasters. What you said makes sense."

Counting the dark dimensional entities currently possessed, Lin Xian had two disaster plants and two taboo items, and Brother Huo had a golden bracelet. Lin Xian thought of the silver bullet head Hu Lushou gave him. But the problem is, he knows too little about information concerning taboo items. Why did Brother Huo’s golden necklace and that silver bullet not bring about terrifying disasters, but the fish lion giant statue encountered in the Akse Desert dragged everyone into the Star Abyss?

"These problems might need to be left for Director Ding to figure out." Lin Xian exhaled deeply and looked at KIKI, "Now back to the present, can we confirm that this intelligent brain has no issues?"

This question also stumped KIKI. She furrowed her brow, unusually uncertain: "Logically, the underlying operating system has already been overwritten, and you didn’t discover any other smart cores through Mechanical Scan, so in principle, it should be clean. But if there’s power beyond the mechanical influencing it..." She looked at Lin Xian: "Then it’s hard to say."

Grace’s sudden anomaly made the always-confident KIKI somewhat unsure too. Given all the strange things they encountered along the way, KIKI had started to harbor some doubts about the reliability of computers.

"This situation happened before as well, Grace’s self-check is program embedded, so if it’s been overwritten, let’s start it up."

If someone can directly control an intelligent brain, then this kind of superpower surpasses Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart by several tiers. After finally securing an intelligent brain and waiting so long, Lin Xian decided to start it up directly.

At least, the unusual reminder from Grace appears to be ’benevolent’ for Lin Xian at the moment. The urgent priority is to use Grace to solve problems, so he can only set aside the strange situation and start up Grace.

"Alright." KIKI nodded: "I’ll start it up now."

Lin Xian looked up at that exquisite mechanical face. Suddenly extending his hand, he removed the beautiful mask used as facial decoration for Grace. Anyway, it had already been cracked by Ning Jing. He planned to use it to devour and study this new material.

[Devour success, Mechanical Source Point +20, Mechanical Devouring Proficiency +5]

[Obtained Super Solid Carbon Condensed Alloy *2]

With the new material in hand, Lin Xian guessed right. The Level was indeed Level 5, higher than the previous No.1 Machine’s Super Carbon炔 Alloy. It definitely is a rare item, and this is the first time Lin Xian obtained Level 5 materials.

If he used this material to manufacture battle armor or train armor, encountering the Snow Demon Snow Monster Tide, Lin Xian estimated he could withstand it head-on. But Lin Xian only thought about it. The scarcity of Level 5 materials means that even if Lin Xian devoured all of the Infinity to produce them, it might not be sufficient for even a carriage’s material transformation. The latest armor plate of Infinity only uses Level 3 tungsten-titanium alloy with an inner lining, using the No.1 Machine’s armor structural design. This already surpasses even the shell material of the interstellar army’s tanks and airborne gunboats.

And after removing the mask, Grace’s face exhibited the same metallic sheen as her body in a faceless state, which actually appeared much more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, at least without that eerie feeling.

"Wow, this looks much better~" KIKI couldn’t help but say.

Lin Xian weighed the mask in his hand: "From now on, communicate in this state, cancel the holographic face."

"Mm." KIKI at this moment pressed the restart button. Suddenly, Grace’s chest core began to light up. Immediately, all her movement units emitted resonance and began to move smoothly. Under KIKI’s control, Grace ’she’ looked at Lin Xian with her faceless head, a light screen scanning Lin Xian.

[System initialization, current version: Deep Red No.3 Intelligent Brain offline version]

[Scanning protocol commander]

[Vitals, iris scan complete, hello Lin Xian, please issue your first command to help me identify your voice recognition.]

Grace at this moment stepped out from the metal box, hands behind her back, tiptoeing, still utilizing her previous elegant movement patterns, looking at Lin Xian like a haughty ballet butler.

Lin Xian examined this intelligent brain robot and said immediately: "From today on, your name is Grace. Don’t be called Deep Red No.3 anymore."

[Voice recognition success]

[Understood, my name will now be Grace]

KIKI meanwhile tapped on the keyboard, telling Lin Xian: "I’ve input the information of other team members too. She will recognize them as allies one by one. Now she needs some time for deep learning."

"Learning what?" Lin Xian asked.

"Infinity, Apocalypse Day, East Escape, Ring Star Train plan, capabilities of all the members, superpowers, including our current environmental situation..." KIKI finished in one breath: "This way, she will understand the context of your arrangements."

"How long does that take?"

KIKI heard and smiled: "If it’s our computers or Mecha system, understanding and training such an AI would take at least 30 days, but for her..."

She said while looking at Grace standing quietly, and very proudly added.

"It only takes 1 second." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
