I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 144 [You Built a Chicken Coop] (Part ) (Two in One)

"it is good."

Lin Xing'an nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to listen carefully.

You are very satisfied after discovering the pattern between the smart chicken and the stupid chicken.

[You gradually changed from wanting to eat chicken to wanting to eat better and more delicious chicken]

Your pursuit has changed unconsciously

Under Taoyuan's control, the scene in front of Lin Xing'an changed again.

[In this way, you keep going back and forth between the city and the chicken coop]

[The days passed like this for a long time]

[But after eating so many chickens, you discovered another problem]

[You're clearly eating smart chickens, but why is there a difference in taste after eating them like this?]

[Why are some smart chickens incredibly delicious, while others are just averagely delicious?]

[Once or twice may be a coincidence, but so many times there is definitely a pattern]

This sparks your curiosity again. Are there differences among smart chicks?

You once again spend time researching

After persistent research, you finally discovered a few rules.

Yes, there are differences among smart chicks.

Taoyuan, a few lines of words appeared on the big screen.

[1. The sooner a chicken finds itself in the chicken coop, the tastier it is]

[2. The more the chicken yearns for freedom and truth, the tastier it is]

[And…3.…]

On the screen, the number three kept jumping.

But Taoyuan seemed to be keeping the secret and did not directly display the following words.

[The first rule is discovered by you through a lot of comparisons and summaries]

[You discovered that the chicken that discovered the truth before the age of seven has a taste of SS+]

[Children who discover the truth between the ages of seven and eighteen have an S+ taste]

[The chick who discovered the truth after turning 18 has an S taste]

Taoyuan continued.

But Lin Xing'an frowned again.

Because the full moon is obviously a time node...

The second rule is also what you discovered through day-to-day observation.

You discovered that some of the smart chicks actually realized early on that they were living in a chicken coop.

[Their taste should be S+ level]

[But they will choose to lie down, choose to deceive themselves, and pretend that they are living in the mountains]

[This makes their actual taste not even up to S]

Some clever chicks only realize they live in a chicken coop very late.

[Their taste should be S level]

[But they chose to pursue the truth. They wanted to know the truth about the chicken coop and return to the mountains in their memories.]

[They will organize to resist the robots and even wake up those stupid chickens]

[This makes their taste even reach SS]

Taoyuan made a pyramid-like picture to show the taste levels of the chickens.

As for the top-level SSS-grade taste, he just didn't mention it, and it was left blank in the picture.

This discovery, coupled with the delicious taste of the chicken, suddenly makes you feel the joy of exploration.

[You went from just wanting to eat some chicken on a whim to pursuing the taste of chicken]

[Now, we are beginning to explore the deeper reasons behind the different tastes of chickens]

[For example, why do individual smart chicks behave differently?]

Why do some clever chickens choose to lie low after discovering the truth, while others risk endless dangers to pursue it?

What causes these two completely different behaviors?

Taoyuan's problem and his second-person narration actually made Lin Xing'an draw himself into the story and start thinking.

This is obviously a question worth studying.

[But you live in the city after all, so you don’t have that much time to record and observe the situation in the chicken coop.]

So you start giving those robots more intelligence, making them smarter.

Your task is to disguise yourself as chicks and record their behavior in detail as an observer, so you can analyze it carefully when you return.

After doing all this, you returned to the city.

[Because of your busy schedule, you haven't visited the chicken coop for a long time since you returned this time.]

When you finally finish your work and return to the chicken coop, you make a new discovery.

You discover that the robot, which you have endowed with greater intelligence, and the chickens in the chicken coop seem to have developed a strange relationship that you had not expected.

Taoyuan's words made Lin Xing'an take a deep breath in surprise.

It turns out that the gluttonous ghost has only officially appeared from now on...

Your original intention in making robots was simply to have them look after the chickens in the chicken coop while you were in the city.

[Their mission is to prevent the chicks from running away and dying.]

The tasks are simple and straightforward, so they are completed well.

[And now, a faulty robot is still a faulty robot]

[But those intelligent robots without any faults, in order to complete the tasks of "observation" and "recording" you gave them, they chose ways you would never expect.]

[They actually disguise themselves as chicks' parents and record and observe the process of raising the chicks]

This method really did the job for you, perfectly capturing every bit of the chicks' growth, allowing you to analyze it at your leisure.

But it brought some problems.

The image on the screen changed to a few lines of text again.

[1. These intelligent robots may develop emotions towards the chicks while raising them]

[2. In order to record the growth of chicks, these robots will overprotect the chicks, causing their growth trajectory to change and losing the authenticity of the data]

[So you urgently fixed these two BUGs]

From now on, intelligent robots will raise chicks, but they won't develop any emotions towards them.

[To cooperate, you remodeled the chicken coop again, using those malfunctioning robots to make the entire coop look more like the mountains where the chickens live.]

After doing all this, you return to the city again.

【After a long time, you made time to come back】

This time, by observing the chicks raised by these bug-fixed intelligent robots, you unexpectedly discovered something.

[Under the realistic care of intelligent robots, you can wake up and find your own chicks living in the chicken coop. Their taste can reach SS.]

[That is, there is an equation here]

Taoyuan paused, and another line of words appeared on the screen.

[Chickens that awaken despite being raised by intelligent robots = Chicks that previously chose to pursue the truth after naturally awakening = SS taste]

【The discovery of this equation will make you ecstatic! 】

[Because your original purpose was to explore why some smart chickens choose to pursue the truth after awakening, and why some choose to lie down.]

[And now, the intelligent robot can help you filter out those chicks who choose to lie down after awakening.]

[When you think about it, there is only one reason, because these chickens that were filtered out are smart, but not smart enough]

[Only chickens that can grow up under the care of intelligent robots are the smartest of the smart chickens, and their taste is superb!]

[And you start eating only the smartest chickens]

[Those foolish chickens that will never awaken, or the ordinary smart chickens...are not tasty.]

Taoyuan paused.

Lin Xing'an simply digested his words and silently reflected on them in his mind.

"You" are the mother.

This world is a "henhouse".

A "malfunctioning robot" is a fool.

"Intelligent robots" are gluttons.

A confused person is a "little stupid chicken".

These little chickens who were raised by gluttons and still awakened are called "extremely smart little chickens".

The story of Taoyuan here seems to be just the prototype of this world.

This is very different from the facts that Lin Xing'an is facing now, and even contradictory.

When were the three most basic rules of Taogui established?

Since the mother wanted to eat the smart little chicken, why did she set these three rules for the glutton?

There is even a time point called the full moon, which does not give the "chicken" any time to wake up!
Among so many gluttons, under these three rules, even if they can awaken, can only one out of ten chicks survive after awakening?

Also in the story, every time "you" visit the "chicken coop", you come from the city on your own initiative.

But the reality is that the mother seemed to be "summoned".

And there are the "chickens" who voluntarily sacrifice everything they have...

Lin Xing'an let out a light breath.

With all kinds of questions, I continued listening.

[In this way, you use intelligent robots to continuously discover extremely smart chickens]

[But after eating too many of these clever little chickens, you are surprised to find that there are still differences in the taste of these little chickens.]

[Although the average taste is SS, some can taste SS+, while others are only S+]

Why is this happening? Are there differences between these incredibly smart chicks?

【This sparks your interest in exploration again! 】

【At this point, eating chicken doesn’t seem so important to you】

What really excites you is the joy of exploring scientific research.

You have an urge to discover what qualities the most delicious chicken should have and what kind of environment it should be raised in.

You delve into your studies again.

The animation in front of Lin Xing'an showed a long cycle of cold and heat, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Taoyuan's voice sounded again.

You studied the living conditions of these incredibly intelligent chicks and how their gluttonous parents raised them.

[It’s a pity that you didn’t find out the result as quickly as the previous two times.]

[This time, all the data and comparison samples are placed in front of you, but no matter how you look at them, you can't see anything.]

【Is it really just a coincidence? 】

You don't want to believe it, but you have a vague feeling that the difference in taste between these incredibly smart chickens is related to your intelligent robot.

But you still have no idea what the specific relationship is and what factors affect the difference in taste.

[After studying for a long time, you are about to return to the city.]

[This time you got the news in advance. Something might have happened in the city, so you won't be able to return in a short time.]

So you made a decision

[To verify your guess, you divided the chicken coop into two parts]

"Two parts..."

Lin Xing'an's breathing suddenly stopped.

He had just thought that the chicken coop was his entire world.

But maybe… there’s more than one chicken coop?
Maybe… the chicken coops are divided by city?

There is no difference in the environment between these two parts of the chicken house.

The only difference is the intelligent robot.

[The intelligent robots in Part A remain the same]

[In Part B, you further transformed the intelligent robots inside, turning them into super-intelligent robots]

You give them more freedom and make them realize that they are not the "nanny" of the chicks, but the "god" of the chicks.

You want to increase the contrast intensity through this extreme method.

After doing all this, you left the chicken coop and returned to the city.

This time, it really took a long time.

The animation of Taoyuan once again showed the scenes of the changing of seasons and the passing of time.

[After many years, you return to the chicken coop and see the scene inside]

You are excited because the two control groups did not disappoint you.

The intelligent robots in Part A haven't changed much. They continue to care for the chicks like family members. Observe and record.

[But because you haven't eaten for a long time, the extremely smart chickens inside have reproduced generation after generation, forming a large-scale organization to explore the truth.]

[Based on your observations, you discovered that these chickens believe that the intelligent robot is the culprit who built the chicken coop and controls everything.]

So the chicken is trying hard to fight against those intelligent robots.

[Though those intelligent robots don’t kill chickens]

You tasted these chicks, and they had a very stable taste.

There is little fluctuation between S+ and SS, and a few can only reach SS+.

The chicken coop on the screen in front of Lin Xing'an turned into two chicken coops, A and B.

Taoyuan wrote down the progress of the chicks in Chicken Coop A in their search for the truth.

After you have finished looking at chicken coop A, you start looking at chicken coop B.

The changes inside are earth-shaking.

The scene shifts to chicken coop B.

[Although you haven't been here for a long time, the number of the extremely smart chicks in Chicken Coop B is surprisingly less than when you come here often, and much less!]

Because those super-intelligent robots with more authority and independent thinking ability actually eat chickens.

[They often eat these extremely smart chickens when they find themselves in the chicken coop]

[Even though you gave them higher authority and made them think they were the "gods" of the chickens, your initial instructions were still "observe and record"]

So you think it's a bug that they eat the chicks on their own initiative.

You don't understand how such a bug occurs.

[You temporarily record this BUG in your mind]

You observe the surviving chicks in Chicken Coop B.

The scene turns and the protagonist becomes a chicken in the chicken coop.

[These chicks all survived the mouths of super-intelligent robots]

You are surprised to find that although their number is only one-fourth or even one-fifth of the chicks in chicken coop A,

[But their exploration of the truth is surprisingly much deeper than that of the chicks in Coop A!]

[While they were constantly dodging the super-intelligent robots, they realized that the super-intelligent robots were not the builders of the chicken coop.]

They believe that behind these super-intelligent robots, there must be a pair of big hands controlling everything.

They are indeed right.

Because these two big hands are you.

[Although as long as you don't show up, the chickens have no means, no way, no ability to spy on you at all]

But they are still aware of your existence.

[They also discovered that there might be more than one chicken coop and are even trying to establish a connection with Part A]

You were so surprised that you tried to eat the live chicken from Chicken Coop B.

Most of them have a SS+ taste, which is very stable, with only a few having only SS.
