Chapter 463: Intelligent Life! Extracting the Core!

"My sub-body?"

Eva frowned slightly, hesitating as she said:

"I can still split off another sub-body, but a top-tier artificial intelligence requires extremely high computing power.

I don't have those computing modules here. If you happen to have one, I could make one for you."

"Computing modules?"

Xu Jingming immediately lost interest. "I don't have that. Looks like there's no way then......"

The so-called computing modules were the mainframes of top-tier artificial intelligences.

They were enormous in size, each one weighing over ten tons.

They could usually only be excavated from civilization ruins, and were extremely rare.

Modu University did have one, but it was buried deep underground, and he certainly couldn't go dig it up at this time.

"What a pity. I had originally wanted to get an artificial intelligence to assist me.

But since I can't have a top-tier one, finding a Level 1 intelligence seems fine too.

Once I get back to the martial arts hall, I can look into it further."

Just as he was somewhat disappointed and starting to think about follow-up solutions, Eva's voice rang out again:

"This problem isn't entirely unsolvable.

That sub-body of yours at Modu Ability University in the Great Xia nation has already shown signs of evolving into an intelligent life.

I can extract this portion of the core and place it on a small computing module.

It will likewise be able to provide you with analytical capabilities similar to a top-tier artificial intelligence."

"Intelligent life? What is that?" Xu Jingming's expression froze.

"That is the ultimate evolutionary form of artificial intelligence."

Eva broke into a smile and said softly, "At that stage, an intelligent life will possess spiritual power just like you humans.

At the same time, it will possess an intelligence core similar to the most critical part of you humans—the brain.

It's just that intelligent life is extremely difficult to evolve into; it requires the passage of time and a bit of luck as a catalyst.

In our Second Civilization era, from beginning to end, only six intelligent lives ever appeared.

Modu University's sub-body—I don't know what it went through to show signs of metamorphosis."

After Eva finished speaking, Xu Jingming understood completely.

At the same time, he was shocked by the technological development of the Second Civilization era—it was simply inconceivable.

Even artificial intelligence could give rise to life!

"If we extract Modu Eva's artificial intelligence core, will it affect the school's operations?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help but ask.

Modu Eva controlled many affairs at Modu University. If this caused the entire university to grind to a halt, he would have to think of a way to remedy it.

"No impact at all. It's just that the original top-tier artificial intelligence will lose much of the spirituality it had as an intelligent life."

Eva shook her head. "For example, its movements, expressions, tone, and mannerisms will all become stiff to varying degrees compared to before."

"I see."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Then please trouble you, Eva, to extract Modu University's intelligence core for me."

"As you wish."

Eva smiled lightly, nodded, and spread her palm open.

A sphere about the size of a ping-pong ball, filled with all sorts of complex circuits, appeared out of thin air in her right hand.

Immediately after, her gaze sharpened.

Countless streams of virtual data projected down from the ceiling, continuously pouring into the sphere.

At the same time, far away in the Great Xia nation, in the underground artificial intelligence mainframe storage room of Modu Ability University—

The signal lights on the mainframes were flashing wildly, with massive amounts of data being continuously transmitted outward.

In the past, such data loss would certainly have triggered an alarm.

But under the control of Great Eva, no one noticed any of this......

"All done. Modu University's intelligence core has been extracted."

After a full four or five minutes, Eva finally let out a long breath and said softly.

And Xu Jingming also sensed a fluctuation of spiritual power from this sphere.

Although extremely faint, it was real and not an illusion.

"It really has formed a spiritual power fluctuation!" Xu Jingming was shaken to the core.

This seemed no different from giving birth to a child.

It's just that a human child is a flesh-and-blood carbon-based lifeform, while an intelligent life is an electronic silicon-based lifeform.

"This sub-body retains the original data information from Modu University, as well as part of my database.

This includes a large amount of text related to the Jin Zhi Nation, the identification of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and so on.

Additionally, I have already changed you to be her primary authorized user.

Once changed, it is permanent—even I cannot change it again."

Eva's right hand rose slightly, and a burst of energy was immediately injected into the sphere.

After only a few breaths, a pale blue virtual beam of light projected out from within.

It formed a green-haired girl with twin tails, about only 1.52 meters tall, with a petite figure.

This girl's appearance was seventy to eighty percent similar to Great Eva's, but much more youthful.

A pair of crystal-clear little feet stood in the air beneath her.

It was none other than the top-tier artificial intelligence of Magic Capital University — Eva!

She first looked around in confusion, and upon spotting Big Eva—

Her face immediately lit up with joy, and she threw herself excitedly into the other's embrace:

"Mother, I've finally seen you again!"

And Big Eva did not resist either; instead, just like an ordinary human mother and daughter, she gently stroked her little head.

"Mother?"

Xu Jingming, off to the side, kept feeling that something was off.

Still, the Magic Capital Eva was originally a sub-body split off from Big Eva, so calling her 'Mother' did seem perfectly normal.

"Oh? Why are you here too, S-Class?"

After the hug, Little Eva finally noticed Xu Jingming, and her little round face immediately broke into a cute smile:

"S-Class, I've recovered all my lost memories! If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly."

Little Eva confidently patted her own chest, which was as flat as a tablet.

But then she immediately grew glum again: "However, some of the intel is restricted by the school's permissions, so I still can't..."

Before she could finish speaking, her clear eyes suddenly went wide:

"No, that's not right! My primary authorized user has been changed to you, S-Class!

But how did you manage that? Did you really beat that old coot of a principal half to death?

That's not scientific — you shouldn't even be able to beat him yet..."

Excited as she was, Little Eva's face was also full of confusion.

"Eva, I have extracted your core components from Magic Capital Ability University.

You no longer control the entire school; from now on you exist solely as Xu Jingming's exclusive artificial intelligence.

This is the privilege he possesses as the inheritor of Lei Shen."

At this moment, Big Eva, off to the side, spoke softly.

"An AI exclusive to S-Class? That's wonderful!"

Little Eva's eyes lit up, and she wasn't the least bit repulsed — instead, she was extremely excited:

"I've been working over at Magic Capital University for almost a hundred and fifty years, and I'm completely sick of it!

Now I can finally break free from that black-hearted factory that exploits artificial intelligences!"

After saying that, her big beautiful eyes turned toward Xu Jingming, and she extended her slender right hand with a beaming smile:

"Then please take care of me from now on, my dear Master."
