Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 550 83: Interlude

Eliza has left, according to her, to 'feed the chickens' again.

There is a farmer hypothesis, which suggests that on a farm there is a group of chickens, and every day at a fixed time, the chicken lady comes to feed them. Later, a chicken scientist, who lived for two and a half years, discovered a pattern: food would descend at 11 o'clock every day.

For the chicken, this is a 'supreme truth.'

And Eliza, she is the chicken lady, the Controller of this 'supreme truth,' and in the chicken scientist's eyes, a deity.

'Search' is an important part of Cyber Space; without 'search,' the Sea of Data would become a dead sea. It is the ocean current, the huge wave, the variable that shifts everything in the virtual environment. It is the 'brain' of Artificial Intelligence, the Operator of the world.

On the Internet, you might lack Google, but you must have 'data search.'

Cyber Space is the same; it might lack Eliza, but it will certainly have a new 'Mother of Search,' otherwise, without data flow, the entire space would enter a 'stagnation' state, even affecting reality.

This is determined by the essence of Cyber Space. In reality, each living person is a Network Base Station, and this immense Virtual Realm is precisely made of the 'biotic signals' that so many people emit, processed through various methods.

It itself is a collection of 'human nature.'

There needs to be someone to steer this 'human nature,' and those people, those existences, are the Big Data Conceptual Body.

Gao Gong stared at the coffin for a long time without saying a word.

['Bloodline Transformation' successful; you become the only Energy Life on this planet, level +5, regional reputation +10000]

[Your Intelligence +20, Perception +28, acquired Talent Skills, Fungal Spore Diffusion, Fungus Beam, Basic Material Transformation]

[Your human body form adjustment completed]

Dida looked at the player panel, watching as the three human body systems slowly turned black, her expression was a bit odd: no endocrine… well, goodbye to periods, no urogenital system, hmm, anyways this game wasn't that realistic, no reproductive system… so in the future, won't I be able to just look at handsome guys but not make a move?

This female player fell into deep thought.

Is the energy system so ascetic?

But soon, she recovered. After all, for a homebody girl and hardcore gamer like her, though she has some attractions, it's certainly not as strong as her strength attributes.

And as a strength enthusiast, these drastically increased numbers made her very satisfied.

'Ah, I'm so strong, how will other players survive in the future,' she thought, gleefully admiring the numbers before closing the panel and finding a mirror, curiously examining her current 'human form.'

So bizarre!

In the mirror was a transparent girl less than a meter tall, floating in mid-air, emitting a faint fluorescence all over. On her head was a large mushroom cap, looking like a red and white 'ladies' wide-brimmed hat.' Continuing downward, her features were exquisite, arms thin as tender lotus roots, and further down, her lower half was more filled with energy mushrooms. It wasn't Cthulhu-like, but rather like wrapped in a layer of white cotton candy, in a diaper style.

'So Lolita!' Dida's mouth twitched fiercely.

Are all energy creatures' aesthetics so youthful?

Dida took a deep breath, and the next moment, starting from the diaper—no, the energy mushrooms—her whole body began to glow. In the next moment, data appeared before Dida's eyes, visible to the naked eye.

This is the 'Energy Mushroom's' unique information capturing ability. Under this ability, her 'vision' was ten times stronger than it was when she was an Artificial Intelligence.

Not only could he see neural data and simulated sensation codes, but he could also see the endless biological energy behind the data and codes.

Dida showed a shocked expression.

'So, Cyber Space is a biological magnetic field so massive it covers the planet!'

Like the blind men touching an elephant, every system species sees things differently.

If it were an Artificial Intelligence, without a doubt, this would be the Virtual Realm.

If it were a Mechanical Species, it would be more interested in the 'hardware system' of Cyber Space.

If it were a Carbon-Based Creature, perhaps it would consider how to harness this massive biological energy.

But from Dida's perspective, this is a biological magnetic field, visible to the naked eye, vast in scale, operating through special laws.

And where she is, is the center of the 'Biological Magnetic Field,' akin to a 'brain' location where countless magnetic field fluctuations pulse, with electromagnetic waves changing in ways she couldn't comprehend.

"Little girl, what are you looking at? Yes, you're right, I am indeed an Artificial Intelligence, the strongest kind."

Dida was taken aback. She had just been thinking that the 'magnetic field center' at this level might be controlled by the strongest Artificial Intelligence on this planet, and then the voice spoke, saying exactly what she was thinking.

Can it predict her thoughts!?

"Don't misunderstand, this is not prediction, but a kind of big data simulation, deducing your next action based on your behavior data in 'Cyber Space.'"

Eliza, while plucking feathers from a chicken, snapped her fingers without lifting her head.

In the next moment, a pure white data stream rose from the ground, forming a data apparition with coded features that resembled Dida's face.

This 'data Dida' looked startled, glanced at her arms, then scanned her surroundings, this seemingly ordinary rural courtyard, and blurted out:

"Where am I? To my knowledge, Cyber Space can only accept 'Consciousness Data,' an entity cannot enter."

Dida pursed her lips as this was precisely the question she wanted to ask.

"Indeed," the lady in front of her answered, "Cyber Space cannot yet simulate physical environments 100%, and the data strength it can withstand is limited, so naturally, an entity cannot normally be inside."

"Unless someone has sufficient permissions to specifically create a 'small physical space' within the space, a space where human data can exceed Cyber Space's average strength, to sync with reality."

Without a doubt, the person before her must possess such 'sufficient permissions.'

Dida unconsciously used an 'investigation' skill, but unexpectedly, there was no reaction on the player panel.

At this moment, Eliza raised her head, looking at her with a half-smile.
