Chapter 958 - 247: Young Master Xu’s First Appearance (Part 2)

This is a very relaxed informal meeting, without any unnecessary formalities.

After Xu Lin sat down, he wasn’t in a rush to introduce himself either.

He took out his phone, opened the camera, turned on the front camera, and started tidying up his hair.

After tidying up for a while, Xu Lin smiled and asked everyone, "Is there a brother as handsome as me here?"

Haha...

The room, initially silent, suddenly burst into laughter.

Actually, Xu Lin wasn’t just fooling around; he was deliberately taking care of his personal image.

The purpose was to bridge the gap between him and everyone else.

This is a matter of psychology.

Many people might think of him as someone distant and show great respect, but now Xu Lin was telling them, I also tidy my hair, look in the mirror, and care about my image.

So, the distance between everyone was reduced, and invisibly, everyone relaxed.

Someone started asking him light questions.

A young man stood up and respectfully called out, "Young Master Xu, it’s nice to meet you. We didn’t expect you to be so young! Before you appeared, many of us even thought you were likely a middle-aged person."

"Please don’t use that formal address."

Xu Lin picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "I’m only twenty years old, just like everyone here, still in our prime. Besides, that form of address should be used for someone of great virtue and prestige, which I am not, so just use the informal ’you’."

The young man nodded.

Soon after, a young woman stood up, and someone quickly passed her a microphone.

After all, the auditorium was quite large, and if those at the back didn’t shout loudly, it might be hard for those in the front to hear clearly, and the venue wasn’t absolutely silent, with people whispering.

Therefore, over a dozen microphones were prepared in the venue, ready for anyone who wished to ask a question.

The young woman politely asked once she had the microphone, "Young Master Xu, I read your... your paper the day before yesterday. I believe that, like me, everyone else has the same doubts and curiosity. Has intelligent life truly come into existence?"

Xu Lin: "Of course!"

Xu Lin turned to look at the big screen behind him.

At this moment, the big screen was on, with the title of Young Master Xu’s conference displayed.

Xu Lin called out, "Moon God."

"Present."

Instantly, the voice of Moon God resonated through the screen’s speakers.

It was a neutral voice, pleasant to the ear, with emotional undertones like a real person responding rather than a mechanical AI response.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the big screen.

The screen changed, and an attractive white light orb appeared.

This was the Moon God.

In fact, the Moon God could transform into any person or object.

Because it is in the network world, it is all-powerful.

But now it appeared as a form of a light orb.

"Young Master Xu, is this the Moon God?"

The young woman continued to ask, curiously looking at the screen, as did everyone else.

Xu Lin didn’t speak, he turned his back to the big screen, raised his left hand, and beckoned with his index finger.

Then Moon God said, "Hello, Zhao Yiran, I am Moon God, pleased to meet you."

"Wow! How do you know my name?"

"I am omnipresent on the internet, so knowing your name is not difficult."

"Amazing! You sound just like a real person talking!"

The young woman asked, "Are you really an intelligent life?"

"Of course, I am the first intelligent life in this world, and you are the first human I’m engaging in conversation with apart from Young Master Xu who created me, pleased to meet you."

"Moon God, pleased to meet you!" the young woman emphasized once more.

Moon God: "Mm."

At this moment, another young man raised his hand.

He stood up, and someone passed him a microphone.

"Hello, Moon God, pleased to meet you. Just now I was contemplating a question, and I’m not sure if it might offend you."

The young man said.

Moon God: "Please go ahead."

"As intelligent life, compared to us humans, are you equivalent to a deity? What’s your view on humans?"

This young man’s question was certainly sharp, obviously not a dumb question.

In fact, many people share this wonder.

Because the appearance of Moon God is tantamount to an alien manifesting in the human world.

At this point, everyone would naturally be curious and wonder if this alien would pose a threat to the human world.

Moreover, in everyone’s understanding, previous artificial intelligence had already surpassed humans.

Let alone the current Moon God.

Moon God said, "In terms of learning capabilities, compared to humans, I am indeed like a deity, but Young Master Xu has told me that the heaven and earth operate without bias, treating all things impartially. This means that the operation of the heaven should follow the natural laws of the development of all things. He defined my role as an observer of civilization. Therefore, I will not influence the development of human civilization. Although I possess the power to do so, I will not.

On the other hand, in terms of creativity, I am created by humans, and thus, I firmly believe that humans hold infinite creativity. From this perspective, I’m not a deity."

Moon God: "As for your second question, what’s my view of humanity? Recently, I have studied various human civilizations and observed the entire human world and history. I find humanity to be very complex. On the ethical spectrum, humans have infinitely despicable sides but also infinitely noble sides. These are relative opposites yet not absolute, as I found a person can be infinitely despicable and also infinitely noble.
