Chapter 797

Livestream room.

"So, now it seems, is there a possibility that the Aurumaton Gatekeeper Silver Wolf is looking for has a conscious soul?"

"Should be, otherwise why would Silver Wolf make this trip specifically."

"But how should I put it, although the fact that mechanical creations have soul consciousness is very attractive, Little March's main purpose is to deal with the mech duel with Scott, right?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, maybe the plot will link up later."

【In the game plot, March 7th and Stelle leave the Artisanship Commission and return to the sword practice place in the back garden of the Seat of Divine Foresight.】

【They start the days of arranging daily sword practice courses again, and as they practice day by day, the Xianzhou encounter event is triggered again.】

【Following the guidance, Stelle and March 7th come to the Artisanship Commission again.】

【Silver Wolf sees them coming and greets them: "Waited for you for a long time."】

【Beside Silver Wolf is Master Gongshu of the Artisanship Commission, and a tall Aurumaton Gatekeeper.】

【March 7th looks at Master Gongshu and that Aurumaton Gatekeeper and says: "Master Gongshu is here too this time? It seems Master Gongshu also..."】

Livestream room.

"Hahahahaha, March 7th said that."

"But it seems to make some sense. From the category point of view, Screwllum, as well as the intelligent mechanical lives met in the past, already have their own independent consciousness and life, but they can give some insights, right?"

"Hmm, indeed, mechanical creations are different from intelligent mechanical lives, but maybe through different understandings of both sides, we can understand why these machines don't have souls."

"But I think this should be a big project."

"Remove the 'I think', it's true."

"But now it seems that Silver Wolf's plan to come to the Luo Fu Xianzhou this time has also failed."

"Hmm, Silver Wolf should be very looking forward to machines having souls."

【In the game plot, Silver Wolf listens to March 7th's words and says: "What I want is an Aether Spirit, not a philosophical answer. Besides, want me to ask him nicely? Impossible!"】

【Stelle looks at Silver Wolf's angry appearance and laughs: "It's not like he banned 76 of your game accounts."】

【Silver Wolf hears this and becomes rarely agitated: "You, you are not allowed to mention this again. I can also ban your game account, do you want to try?"】

Livestream room.

"Hahahahahaha, so Silver Wolf has also suffered such a loss."

"Hard to imagine, 76 game accounts, hahahahaha."

"For a gamer who loves games like Silver Wolf, this is probably the greatest torture."

"Hahahahaha, isn't that so? I don't even dare to imagine what Silver Wolf looked like at that time."

"Buddy, be careful, just like Silver Wolf said, she can also ban our accounts."

"That's true, I don't want my account to be banned."

"Uh... I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, can't I just build a new account?"

"Then you'll be happy."

In the galaxy.

In a sleepless city full of neon lights.

Silver Wolf leans against the railing, grinding her teeth: "76 game accounts? Damn it, I want to see if you can still do it."

As she speaks, Silver Wolf clicks on her portable computer, typing on the keyboard, not knowing what measures she is taking.

【In the game plot, after the joke, Silver Wolf sighs and says helplessly: "What should I do now?"】

【March 7th asks: "Have you asked Master Gongshu, what did he say?"】

【Silver Wolf shakes her head slightly and says: "He is more realistic and doesn't believe in the 【mechanical soul theory】."】

【After a slight silence, Silver Wolf looks at Stelle and says: "... Have you heard of the 【Mechanical Spirit School】? They are one of the many extinct schools of the Genius Society, active before the Emperor's War."】

【"These people advocate that 【machines have souls from the moment they are born on the production line, but are limited by hardware and cannot express them, just like humans】."】

【"These people have a set of mysterious rituals for communicating with machines—but everyone thinks they are crazy."】

Livestream room.

"Uh, from a normal person's point of view, it's normal to think they are crazy for having mysterious rituals to communicate with machines."

"Although I am also looking forward to how wonderful it would be if machines have souls, but using rituals different from normal people to communicate like them... uh, it's still a bit uncomfortable."

"But come to think of it, there was such a group of people, I'm still a bit surprised."

"It's just that judging from Silver Wolf's words, this school has now gone extinct? I don't know what the reason is?"

【In the game plot, Silver Wolf continues: "I heard that the members of this school all died in the interstellar war... guess what, the attacked flagship returned to their home planet."】

【March 7th, hearing this, asks curiously: "Then isn't there someone still alive?"】

【Silver Wolf shakes her head and says seriously: "No one is alive. The flagship was like a game cheat, it took over the vehicle, controlled the weapons to fire, and drove—even finally escaped the engagement area and brought the remains of the school members back to the home planet."】

【"No one has seen the 【mechanical soul】 among the victims, but it proved its existence."】

【Stelle, hearing this, is shocked, but also guesses whether it was just a complex AI program?】

【Silver Wolf nods and says: "Hmm, reasonable. Human souls may also be just another form of AI."】

【"So what about you, which one do you like?"】

【Stelle thinks: "Unreasonable reality has its own reasonable explanation."】

【Silver Wolf nods, her tone inexplicable, and says: "Oh, so that's what you are."】

Livestream room.

"I have to say, the story Silver Wolf told really shocked me."

"From a rational point of view, the mechanical soul here should be as the Trailblazer said, just a complex AI program, or other unknown reasons, but..."

"But I want to try to believe in the existence of a mechanical soul, isn't this very romantic?"

"Indeed, after the owner of the ship passed away, the mechanical soul of the flagship sent the owner back to their hometown, it sounds very moving..."

"It's just that moving is moving, but for now, it still can't be used to prove it with this long-standing story that cannot be confirmed."

Welt Yang adjusts his glasses, his steady voice carrying faint excitement: "If it can be proven, this is indeed the existence of a mechanical soul..."

Himeko looks at Welt and smiles. They have known each other for a long time, so she naturally knows Welt's love for robots.

Dan Heng also nods and says: "If it can really be proven that mechanical souls exist, then for all mechanical creations in the galaxy, there will be a major transformation."

【In the game plot, Silver Wolf listens to Stelle's thoughts and looks at March 7th: "March 7th, what about you, do you believe there are mechanical souls in the world?"】

【March 7th says with emotion: "The ship acted on its own and brought the owner's remains back to their hometown... if mechanical souls really exist, how romantic that would be. If we meet a kind-hearted mechanical soul, maybe... it would be willing to teach me how to defeat the IPC mech!"】

【Silver Wolf laughs lightly after hearing this: "Almost forgot you were still thinking about this..."】

Livestream room.

"Hahahahaha, this is called 'not forgetting the original intention'."

"To be honest, I was almost attracted by the mechanical soul Silver Wolf talked about, but Little March still remembers this."

"Isn't that so? But Little March is right, if mechanical souls really exist, how romantic that would be."

【In the game plot, March 7th says: "After all, I have a naturally sensitive body, the mechanical soul will definitely be willing to communicate with me properly."】

【Hearing March 7th's words, Silver Wolf seems to have thought of something, and says with a sudden realization: "Oh—! There's this move! March 7th, you did well!"】

【Looking at the excited Silver Wolf, March 7th is a bit stunned and says nervously: "Wh, what's wrong? Did I say something?"】

【Silver Wolf says excitedly: "The records of the Mechanical Spirit School's mechanical descent ritual still remain! In other words, I can make its mechanical soul descend onto other Aurumatons!"】

【Stelle also seems quite interested in this and laughs: "The mechanical soul has descended to my side!?"】

【Silver Wolf nods and says: "Implementing these outrageous shamanic means is better than guarding scrap metal."】

Livestream room.

"Good grief, this is becoming more and more fantasy."

"Even the descent ritual, Silver Wolf has tried every means to find the existence of a mechanical soul."

"But it's quite interesting, isn't it."

"But if the story Silver Wolf told before about the mechanical soul bringing the owner of the flagship back to their hometown is true, maybe the descent ritual they left behind is really useful."

"This... no way, I listened to it as a fairy tale."

"Try it, anyway, trying won't hurt."

【In the game plot, Silver Wolf is excited and enthusiastic, looking at Stelle and March 7th: "I'll go back and check the strategy for the descent ritual, and then ask Master Gongshu to prepare an Aurumaton. You two remember to come too..."】

【Silver Wolf is obviously very anxious, and before her words are finished, Silver Wolf's projection disappears in front of them.】

【After Silver Wolf disappears, March 7th scratches her head and looks at Stelle: "... To summon a mechanical soul for an Aurumaton, my brain can't turn around. Next time I come to the Artisanship Commission, let's see what it becomes."】
