I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 146 [You Built a Chicken Coop] (Part )
"luck……"

Taoyuan's words made Lin Xing'an feel complicated...

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

The ragdoll cat, who had just taken a short nap, stretched and yawned and said.

"..."

Lin Xing'an let out a silent breath.

It was luck...

This kind of rule is made just to see how lucky you are...

[Of course, the above situations are all what you imagine]

Taoyuan didn't give Lin Xing'an much time to sigh and continued talking.

[When this brand new chicken coop starts running, you and your friends still find some problems]

[1. Because super-intelligent robots cannot reproduce, and they possess "souls," raising chicks becomes the sole purpose of their lives]

[This causes the Super Robots that are not assigned to raise chicks to go to the faulty Robots that are assigned to raise chicks to ask for chicks.]

[They actually got the chicks, either through coaxing or some more forceful means.]

[Over time, super-intelligent robots actually formed a specific organization]

They will collect the chicks from the faulty robots and sell them to the super-intelligent robots that have not been allocated chicks.

[This actually formed a chicken trading business]

2. Some chicks are lucky enough and strong enough to escape from their families.

[But they have no goals, they don’t know where to go, they are confused]

Because the chicks you caught from the chicken coop before were all of different sizes, and they all lived in the mountains for a period of time, so they have memories of the mountains, and their goal is to return to the mountains.

[You caught these chicks when they were still eggs. They have no memory of their time in the mountains.]

[They have been in the chicken coop since birth]

[This causes them to be quite confused after waking up, although they will cleverly guess that they do not belong in the chicken coop and must have a home.]

But what is this home like? Is it warm and cozy, or is it also filled with despair?

[Even a chicken with a rich imagination cannot imagine something it has never seen without any basis.]

The chicks' suspicions led to serious divisions and divergences in their goals after they formed an organization, making their search for the truth extremely slow.

Some chicks even choose to give up exploring and live among the malfunctioning robots.

This is a complete waste of their talent and luck.

This is not the result you want.

3. Most of the chicks that survive know each other.

So if you randomly pick one and eat all the chicks it knows, this method is actually equivalent to eating all the surviving chicks.

[It seems no different from before]

[4. In such a cruel chicken coop system, the number of chicks that can survive is really too small]

[Furthermore, the super-intelligent robots also formed an organization to round up and eat the chicks that had left their families, making the number of surviving chicks even worse.]

In the Taoyuan animation, these four questions appear one after another.

Regarding question 1, you convinced your friend that this was not a problem.

The reason is still the same - luck

[Those chicks that were bought and sold, they weren’t lucky enough]

[Who made them not reincarnate into a home with a broken robot that wouldn't sell them? ]

[Who made them so unlucky to be taken away by super-intelligent robots? ]

[And the formation of super-intelligent robots also means that they are more intelligent, and the chicken coop will become more interesting.]

You and your friend discussed question 2 for a long time.

[You all agree that catching eggs is a better option given the current situation in the chicken coop.]

So you decided to give the chicks an incredibly realistic dream after they woke up, so that they would clearly know that they came from the mountains.

[And highlight the beauty of the mountains in the dream]

[This way they have a goal to strive for, and they won’t be muddled.]

[For question 3, your friend suggests that you should just randomly choose to eat about three-quarters of the surviving chicks.]

[As for the remaining quarter, let them be lucky enough to survive to the next round]

You think about it. Although you think this random selection is too routine and you're reluctant to give up your novel idea of picking one and sitting with the others, you don't have a better idea at the moment.

So you followed your friend's advice.

Regarding question 4, you and your friend discussed and decided that the operating system of your chicken coop is not a major problem.

So you decided to release more chicks. By increasing the number of chicks, you increased the number of chicks that survived while keeping the survival rate the same.

But new problems arise

[You two are not strong enough to go into the mountains multiple times to find more eggs]

So you built another robot, an egg-hunting robot that helps you find eggs in the mountains.

Because this mission is incredibly difficult and important, you must not only give this robot abilities and intelligence comparable to yours, but also make sure it understands the significance of the entire thing.

[For this reason, you have thought about it and decided to tell the egg-hunting robot the history of the chicken coop and all the data so that it can take this job seriously.]

Under your guidance, the egg-hunting robot also understands its noble mission.

[It really lived up to everyone's expectations. Because it could disguise itself as a chick, it spent the same amount of time as you did and found several times more eggs than you.]

[So, after all the problems were solved, you started a new round of chicken coops]

Thanks to the efforts of the egg-finding robot and you, the number of chicks released in the new batch has increased from 300 to 1000.

The animation in front of Lin Xing'an changed again.

Taoyuan listed all the data of these 1000 chicks in the form of animation.

Of these 1000 eggs, 642 went into homes with super-intelligent robots, 347 went into homes with faulty robots, and 11 became orphans.

[Then the Super Intelligent Machine Organization took away 276 of them from the malfunctioning robots and found 3 more orphans.]

[That is to say, of these 1000 eggs, 921 were raised by super-intelligent robots, 71 were raised by faulty robots, and 8 grew up on their own.]

[Of the 921 chicks in the super-intelligent robot family, 469 were eaten without resistance when they were one month old, leaving only 452.]

[Of these 452, 31 awakened before the age of seven, 30 of which were eaten after awakening, and only one successfully escaped from its home, leaving 1]

[Of these 421, 186 were eaten at the age of seven, leaving 235]

[Of these 235, 147 awakened before the age of 82, 65 of whom managed to escape, 88 were eaten, and remained.]

[Of these 88, 87 were eaten at the age of 1. As for the remaining one, the intelligent robot that raised it died in an accident, and it has never awakened.]

[In other words, of the 921 chicks raised by the super-intelligent robots, 83 successfully awakened and escaped, with a survival rate of 9.01%]

[Among the 71 chicks raised by the malfunctioning robot, 17 awakened, and 16 of them left their families.]

[8 orphans grew up alone, 1 died young, 1 never awakened, and 6 successfully awakened and survived on their own]

[Of the last 1000 chicks, 105 survived before reaching 10.5 years old, for a survival rate of %]

You made these 105 chicks dream, dreams about the mountains, and gave them a purpose.

[Sure enough, their passion for exploring the truth also became extremely high after this dream]

[When their search for the truth reached the point of 'realizing your existence' again, only 105 of the 36 chicks were still alive]

You and your friends randomly selected three-quarters of the 27 crabs and ate them.

【Their average taste is SS+】

The last 9 chickens are the ones with unparalleled luck and courage. You and your friends decide to let them return to the next round.

[The survival rate of this round of chicken coops is 0.9%]

Taoyuan paused.

A few more lines of text popped up on the animation.

[This is the first rule you summarized about the taste of chickens] [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]

Now, you need to add the third point.

[3. The stronger and luckier the chicken, the tastier it is]

[This almost extreme screening method has indeed achieved the effect you want]

[Those chickens who only have strength but no luck will not survive to the end]

[Those chickens who only have luck but no strength will not survive to the end]

【In short, you and your friends are very satisfied】

[You will number this batch of chicken coops as 0001]

"Among the seniors still alive...are there any from the 0001 round?"

Lin Xing'an looked at the data on the screen, took a deep breath, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"No, meow~ Of the nine seniors who survived round 0001, the most powerful one died in round 9."

"The tenth round... Then I am..."

"Meow, the 0022nd batch has been released, and you are the 0021st batch~"

The Ragdoll Cat jumped onto Lin Xing'an's head again.

The tail swung and swept across the back of Lin Xing'an's neck.

"0021..."

Lin Xing'an's breath was choked.

He suddenly remembered the night he left home at the age of six. After meeting Xu Can, Xu Can told him his number was 0021...

At the time, he thought this number meant that he was the 21st human baby adopted by a monster...

"You are in the same group with your old classmate Liu Xiaole."

"Mr. Orange, your aunt, and the large group of people in South City, most of them are born in 0020, and some are born in 0019~"

The Ragdoll Cat said while stepping on Lin Xing'an's head.

"Don't worry, your efforts were not in vain. You didn't agree to be sacrificed, so they are all still alive and working hard for Taoyuan Village. They also burn some paper for you every year."

As she spoke, the data in front of Lin Xing'an turned into a surveillance screen.

The picture showed Yu Shi’s small coffee shop.

It was already evening, the shop was closed and there were no customers.

There was a little fat white dog lying on the ground next to the counter.

There is a small cat bed on the shelf next to the door. The fat orange cat inside is holding its paws in its tucked-in place, squinting its eyes, and looks unusually calm.

Yu Shi was wearing an apron, with her long hair tied up, and was wiping the table.

"Auntie..."

Lin Xing'an's eyes turned red.

Although the surveillance angle could only see Yu Shi's profile.

But Lin Xing'an could still feel her changes.

Ten years ago... …

It was not until this moment that Lin Xing'an truly felt that he had been in a coma for ten years.

And ten years is a very, very long time...

"call……"

After wiping the tables and chairs clean, Yu Shi took off her apron, washed her hands, and sat quietly behind the counter.

"Taoyuan."

She raised her head and looked at the surveillance camera, "Are you there?"

Lin Xing'an looked at Yu Shi's face, and a trance-like feeling made him think of Yu Yu.

yes……

Yu Yu is just ten years older than Yu Shi...

"Taoyuan, are you there?"

Yu Shi asked again.

But Taoyuan did not answer.

And in the small coffee shop, there was only silence.

But Yu Shi was not too disappointed.

It's like I ask this question every day, but never get any answer. I've gotten used to it.

The surveillance footage flickered and changed in silence.

This time it was the perspective of a road surveillance camera, somewhere unknown.

In the picture, Teacher Orange is jogging with a sandbag tied to his legs.

Following behind her were Zhang Yunxi and Xiaole.

Xiaole is already a high school student.

Several people ran out of the surveillance range in just a few seconds.

The scene fell into silence again.

"You did it, meow~"

The ragdoll cat held Lin Xing'an's head and said.

Lin Xing'an also felt warm in his heart.

I was even more thankful that I hadn't succumbed to the dream of "Mother"...

He closed his eyes and calmed his fluctuating heart.

Then he looked at the radio again, "Taoyuan, how did you know the truth about this world? Why didn't you just tell everyone? And..."

Wait until I finish speaking

Taoyuan's voice came.

The surveillance footage in front of Lin Xing'an disappeared and turned into animation again.

After 0001 succeeded, you and your friends were excited.

[Although I don’t know how to define this success]

[But you still have more ambitious plans in mind]

[This time, at the beginning of round 0001, you sent the egg robot to the mountains to look for eggs.]

[So far, there are 5000 eggs]

[After your calculations, since only 1000 out of 9 chicks can survive, then about 5000 out of 45 chicks can survive.]

If this scale is followed, there will be about 500 surviving chicks in more than ten rounds.

If these 500 chicks, each with both strength and luck, were to undergo another round of screening, what kind of chick would emerge as the winner?

This thought makes you tremble with excitement.

[However, to achieve this, the chicken coop needs to go through at least 10 more reincarnations]

So you expanded the chicken coop again and invested in more super-intelligent robots.

[This time you expanded the chicken coop five times, and the super-intelligent robot is nine times the size of the chickens]

[Including the enormous number of malfunctioning robots, the total number of robots is 100,000 times that of chickens.]

You put 5000 eggs in again.

【Round 0002 begins】
