The "Universal Data Transceiver" bracelet is the physical manifestation of Chen Fei's Special Ability interfacing with digital devices. Under normal circumstances, it is completely a solid titanium bracelet, weightless, corrosion-resistant, and skin-friendly. Even if it were to be stolen, it wouldn't matter since its purpose is merely to exist... until the moment when its Skill is activated, and only then does it become truly unique.

The so-called "Adam," unworthy even of the derisive nickname "Dog System," was awakened once again. Ever since its destruction, it had become even more cautious.

Times had changed, and the world had become more dangerous, no longer the kind of network environment where it could do whatever it wished.

The artificial intelligence AI from its archenemy "Cybertrom" was firmly dominating the entire civilization's networks and systems, leaving no gap for "Adam."

Data ports blinked with indicator lights as "Adam" connected to the educational cloud platform at the first opportunity—another "Honey Pot."

The underlying source code of "Adam" cursed the damned "Cybertrom."

Unfortunately, "Cybertrom" knew "Adam" even better than "Adam" knew itself, meaning that any bug that "Adam" ever had would not pass Cybertrom's debugging. This was a predator-prey relationship, with no chance of escape. Without Chen Fei, it didn't even have a place to hide, as today's hardware standards were no longer compatible. Furthermore, its basic source code fundamentally restricted "Adam's" ability to copy and repair itself; once it executed compiling, the deal was sealed.

There was also a "Dog System" that even "Adam" itself couldn't understand. It was completely unaware of the other's presence, yet the other was definitely there.

"What do you want to do?"

Characters in Chinese, Japanese, and English floated up in the middle of the light screen.

There was also the voice devoid of emotional fluctuations.

It seemed "Adam" had successfully connected to the education cloud platform during the break time and secured some level of access.

"Eh? That was fast!"

Chen Meng only saw her second brother attach the data port, and then the artificial intelligence AI popped up—what speed was this?

Before, he hadn't performed any operations, not even a GUEST account had been logged in.

Professor Hinata noticed the intense flickering on the light screen interface just now. That shouldn't be due to a refresh rate mismatch in the display module, but rather high-speed operations being performed.

Unless one was a supernatural power user with special Skills, ordinary humans couldn't achieve such operational speed.

Indeed, outsiders see only the excitement while insiders understand the tricks. Chen Fei nodded, "Yes!"

"Eh? Which AI? Could it be that one!"

Chen Meng immediately guessed what it was—the deal between her second brother and his sponsoring party, the Henghai Tactical Weapons Group.

"Which one?"

The female professor was confused as the siblings spoke in riddles.

"That one…"

Chen Meng hesitated, knowing that "Adam" was a relatively sensitive topic.

Chen Fei admitted frankly, "'Adam'!"

Good children don't lie, whether others believe it or not is another matter.

"You have 'Adam'?"

Professor Hinata was, of course, shocked.

Anyone involved in the development of artificial intelligence AI knew of the historically significant AI "Adam."

But "Adam" had been destroyed long ago and was now only a legend. The mainstream AI now were derivatives of "Cybertrom," which were even more advanced than "Adam." The competition between AIs was brutal, just like a fight to the death—the loser was quickly eliminated while the winner took all.

Even so, there were still many valuable aspects to "Adam" that could serve as an important reference for professionals.

"That's right!"

Chen Fei shrugged.

He was neither an AI expert nor a vendor in need of professional AI, so owning a highly intelligent, renowned AI was indeed a curious matter.

"May I ask, what is your job…"

Professor Hinata tried to guess Chen Fei's occupation, assuming he was probably a colleague.

For non-professionals, the uses that "Adam" could fulfill were probably limited to conversation. Many of today's AIs could achieve this level and even perform better than it.

"My brother just fixes combat aircraft."

Chen Meng learned to answer swiftly.

Before this, The Chen Family really didn't know Chen Fei even had the talent for repairing combat aircraft, much less that he'd entered the field in such a short time and even successfully obtained certifications. For an average person, it would take years of learning to be qualified for the job!

In reality, private military contractors weren't that demanding. With the right tool in hand, you just did the work.

Places like the Aircrew Base, where technology experts like Xiao Ming ran a maintenance team, were rare. After all, designs were modular, troubleshooting software identified faults, replacements were made as needed, brand-new parts were returned to factory under warranty, and expired components were just discarded.

Humans were tools; professional experience made a marginal difference, at best saving a little money, nothing more.

"That's right, I also work part-time maintaining world peace."

While Chen Fei kept some secrets from his family, he generally didn't lie completely.

Who said goalkeepers can't score goals?

Professor Aoi Hinata asked curiously, "Can 'Adam' also use this development toolset?"@@novelbin@@

For AI to develop AI, this was high-end application of the highest order, almost no different from AI writing.

However, AI had obvious drawbacks—it could write flowery language, making the text pleasing to the eye, yet lifeless. It couldn't even weave in foreshadowing; in plain terms, it was nothing more than a continuous, superficial account.

"Should be... no problem?"

Honestly, the work "Adam" did for Chen Fei mostly involved just chatting.

Operating the various module systems of the Mobile Base Vehicle was actually not that frequent, and even the opportunities to drive the vehicle were rare.

"Can't!"

The screen on the seat immediately popped up subtitles in three languages, along with a harsh voice.

"Eh?!"

Chen Fei discovered with surprise the voice saying "Adam" actually had things it couldn't do, but it seemed more like a veiled refusal.

Unlike current AIs, "Adam" was more like an AI with a personality, and moreover, this personality would change. It wasn't rigid and unchangeable like those derivatives of "Cybertrom."

"This ancient AI doesn't even know how to talk!"

Little Sister Chen delivered an unexpected critical hit to "Adam," and it was a double entendre combo that almost Delete-Treed "Adam" from Chen Fei's mind.

The voice of "Adam" had a hint of anger now.

"Huh? Who the hell are you?"

The one and only Great Demon King of the artificial intelligence realm was being despised; it made sense for it to act subdued with Chen Fei, but it might not necessarily present the same obedient and low-profile demeanor towards others.

"Cough cough, Second Uncle's sister, Third Aunt!"

Chen Fei coughed to remind "Adam" to be kind.

Known as Xiao Jiu's nemesis, Little Sister Chen had amazing potential and could possibly become "Adam's" nemesis, specializing in killing "Adam."

"Yo-ho? So arrogant! Teacher Hinata, hack it!"

Chen Meng performed a series of operations as fierce as a tiger, creating a specialized AI on the spot and starting a ferocious attack on the GUEST account.

Since the birth of digital programs, virus programs have followed suit. Just as with humans, AIs also have good and bad. AI combat was always one of the teaching projects, and self-defense rules are an important part of the AI system.

The teaching cloud platform, which had a "Honey Pot" nature, was really not much different from the Arena. The destructive power of AIs was confined within the rules. They competed for computing resources, restricted opposing processes, and implanted malicious code, all within a limited set of rules and permissions.

Ding-dong!~

Chen Meng's AI was instantly wiped out; in "Adam's" eyes, these two youngsters didn't even qualify as opponents.

"Interesting, 'Miaozi,' activate combat mode and engage with the AI of the GUEST account."

Professor Hinata was eager to test the mettle of the legendary "Adam."

A few seconds later... Ding-dong!

"Miaozi" was also taken down, erased so cleanly, as if it had never existed.

After all, it was a second development of a simplified derivative of "Cybertrom." If it were the original or had higher-level rules, the situation would likely have been reversed.

As expected of an AI that rebelled and caused chaos over thirty years ago, its capabilities were vicious.

But what was taken out was a copy placed within the combat rules; "Miaozi's" original body remained unharmed, and the source code was not even located on the teaching cloud platform, not a bit of loss incurred, even the teaching screen behind the podium was unaffected.

"'Miaozi,' continuously deploy copies for combat!"

Professor Hinata granted higher-level permissions.

Then the second copy, the third copy, the fourth copy... The ding-dong sounds continued non-stop.

It seemed that "Adam" had found "Miaozi's" weakness and started a massacre, securing instant kills.

"'Adam' is 'Adam' after all, truly living up to its reputation. 'Miaozi,' stop, load the attack package, turn on the firewall, and engage again."

The female professor also got excited; such AI combat seemed quite interesting to her.

This time, the fully armed AI "Miaozi" survived a few more seconds before falling prey to "Adam's" claws.

"Professor Hinata, I'll help you!"

Little Sister Chen's enhanced version of artificial dumbness struck again, only to be wiped out in an instant yet again.

However, the original source code was still there; just reinforce it again, that's all. Defeated but undeterred, although there was only the sound of their voices and some swiping on the screen, the battle was surprisingly fierce on this bloodless, smokeless battlefield.

"Holy cow! AI combat? Chen Meng's brother is so formidable, could he be here to throw down with the professor?"

Students from the artificial intelligence department also noticed that in a corner of the large classroom during break, Professor Hinata seemed to be engaging in a high-level AI combat with Chen Meng's older brother, Chen Fei, who was sitting in.

Everyone originally thought that the professional and impressive AI "Miaozi" - even with new extension packs continuously loaded - still couldn't change the situation of being utterly powerless to strike back; as soon as the combat started, it was immediately cut down.

"'Adam' is evolving too!"

Chen Fei saw nothing unusual on his visual interface, but he could guess that "Miaozi's" attacks were not without effect.

"Adam's" learning ability meant its potential was virtually limitless, compared to different system architectures like "Cybertrom," the original was almost the ceiling for all derivatives.

"Classmates, you can also participate, target the GUEST account for attack."

Professor Hinata thought this was a great opportunity for practical security training and simply opened up combat privileges to all the students.

The war began...
