I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 147 [You Built a Chicken Coop] (V)
New data appears on the screen again.

[This development is pretty much what you expected.]

The final number of surviving chicks was 38, with a survival rate of 0.758%, of which 4 were from round 0001.

[However, there are still some new changes in the second round]

1. The organization of super-intelligent robots is becoming increasingly mature and forming hierarchies.

[Because even if they buy from malfunctioning robots, there are still a large number of super-intelligent robots that cannot raise chicks]

Therefore, the super-intelligent robot allocated and planned the rights to raise the chicks, and formulated detailed requirements.

Only qualified super-intelligent robots can raise chickens

[Of course, as for when to eat the chicks at the age of seven and eighteen, it depends on their own preferences.]

[2. Some super-intelligent robots realize that the chicks are not all stupid. They want to enjoy the chicks when they are years old, but they are also afraid that the chicks will wake up and leave.]

[So they leave a "mark" in the chick's body, allowing them to locate the chick at any time]

[This "marked" chicken must kill a super-intelligent robot to be removed]

[This way they don't have to spend a lot of time guessing whether the chicks have discovered the truth]

[This approach was soon followed by more super-intelligent robots]

It’s now more difficult for chicks to leave their families.

[3. With the help of the nine chicks that survived round 0001, the survival rate of the chicks that finally escaped from their families after going through countless hardships has actually increased.]

[And their speed of exploring the truth has increased dramatically due to the experience gained from the previous round.]

[You can even say that they are born knowing that you exist]

[According to your previous standards, as long as the chickens discover your presence, you will eat them. This is obviously unreasonable.]

[But if we limit it by time, for example, letting the chicks grow for ten years before eating them, that is not reasonable either.]

[Because the chicks that survive are the elite among the elite. At the speed at which they explore, you dare not imagine what will happen if you give them enough time]

Taoyuan once again listed all three major changes.

Regarding variations 1 and 2, you and your friends believe that there is no need to interfere, and you choose to respect the development of the super-intelligent robots.

[What's more, this increases the difficulty for the chicks to survive, and can help select chicks with both luck and strength.]

[And change three, this is indeed a big problem]

[This is related to when you eat the chicks, when a chicken coop cycle ends, and when new chicks are released.]

[Just as you and your friends were thinking about how to solve this problem, the egg-hunting robot came up with its idea]

[It says that you can judge how to eat the chickens based on their average level of exploration of the truth]

If a chick knows nothing, then its level of exploration of the truth is zero.

If a chick has just awakened and finds itself in a chicken coop surrounded by super-intelligent robots, its level of exploration of the truth is 2.

If a chicken believes that a super-intelligent robot is the owner of the chicken coop and the creator of everything, then its level of exploration of the truth is 4.

If a chicken were aware of your existence and realized that super-intelligent robots are nothing, then its level of exploration of the truth would be 6.

If a chicken sees how you place eggs in the henhouse, its level of truth-seeking is 7.

If a chicken touches the edge of the coop, its level of exploration of the truth is 8.

If a chick breaks through its limitations and sees your existence, its level of exploration of the truth is 9.

[When the chicken's exploration of the truth reaches 10, it will break out of the chicken coop and return to the mountains]

The egg-hunting robot said that after knowing the extent to which each chick explored the truth, the average could be calculated.

It suggests that when the average is 6, three-quarters of all surviving chicks should be eaten randomly.

Taoyuan listed all the nodes and scores of the degree of truth exploration.

[The method of finding the egg robot will make you and your friends shine]

[But the average method is too simple. After all, there are too many ignorant chickens released at one time, and very few chickens survived the previous round.]

[This means that when the chickens are first released, the majority of them are ignorant, while a small number of them are knowledgeable.]

After more rigorous discussions, you quantified this score in more detail and set a corresponding multiplier.

You then took the time to create a formula and set three thresholds.

[When the statistical score is less than threshold A, nothing happens and statistics will be conducted again after five years]

[When the statistical score is greater than threshold B, nothing happens, but statistics will be continued again three years later]

[When the statistical score is greater than the threshold C, you will randomly eat three-quarters of the awakened chickens and release a new batch of chickens]

"How do you know the extent of each chick's quest for the truth?"

"Could it be possible that 'you' can see the inner thoughts of each chick?"

Lin Xing'an looked at the statistics on the animation and asked with a frown.

【have no idea】

[We don’t know the exact formula for this calculation, the three thresholds, the multiplier for each chick, etc.]

"This is what we want to know most right now, meow~"

"After all, if we know how to count, we can reversely control the release of chicks and the time it takes for everyone to be eaten."

The puppet on Lin Xing'an's head licked its paw and said.

"Even you can't figure it out?"

Lin Xing'an lowered his head and looked towards Taoyuan thoughtfully.

Since the entire chicken house has gone through 22 rounds of operation, the time when the threshold is reached can be deduced based on the time of "chicken release".

Then, based on the progress of everyone's exploration of the truth at that time, we can infer the threshold...

For Taoyuan, it doesn't seem impossible...

[This formula is too complicated. My calculation capacity is far from enough, at least for now.]

[And like you just asked, I have no way of knowing to what extent each chick has explored the truth.]

【But one thing is certain】

[The more people know the truth, the faster the restart will be]

"Is this why you didn't tell me even though you knew so much?"

【Yes】

Taoyuan's emotionless voice came.

We must be extremely careful to control the number of people who know the truth.

[Control the vast majority of people's understanding of the truth to the extent that they believe that gluttonous ghosts are the masters of everything]

Especially now, only those who are extremely useful to us in achieving our ultimate goal will know everything when they need to know it.

Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

[Of course, we will not stop others from exploring the truth]

We just kept silent

"...Since you've told me everything in such detail...what do I need to do?"

"You can't really just do this to fulfill your agreement with Yu Yu, right?"

Lin Xing'an looked up and asked.

[There is indeed a task that only you can complete at the moment]

[But I promised Yu Yu that after telling you everything, I would let you live like a confused person]

So, after listening to everything I have to say, the choice is yours.

"What?! Didn't you say he would definitely agree, meow?!"

Taoyuan's words startled the ragdoll cat above Lin Xing'an's head, and its fur instantly exploded! "Do you know how rare the essence of Yinquan is?!"

"If he doesn't agree then...then why should we save him?!"

She jumped to the ground and pointed at Lin Xing'an, as if she would meow in the next second!

【He is Yu Yu’s child】

[The essence of Yinquan was obtained by Yu Yu]

[Used on Lin Xing'an, this is also Yu Yu's intention]

"……All right……"

Hearing Taoyuan say this.

The ragdoll cat also died instantly.

"Damn it, meow! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so polite to him!"

"I even deliberately squeezed my throat and meowed! Ugh! I'm disgusted by myself!"

She looked at Lin Xing'an and retched twice.

Lin Xing'an ignored her and looked at Taoyuan.

The "Mother" consumes all the interpersonal relationships of the sacrificer, even the identity of "Mother"...

These questions have not been answered until now...

After creating the formula, you and your friends can't wait to apply it to the 0003 chicken coop.

[The number of eggs you will be releasing this time is still 5000]

[You strictly follow the formula to calculate again and again]

When there are only 276 chicks left, the score you calculated using the formula exceeds threshold C.

【这276只，其中21只是0002轮的，3只是0001轮的】

[At this point you should eat three-quarters of the chicks, or 207 chicks, and then release new chicks.]

[But the behavior of one of the chickens caught the attention of you, your friends, and the egg-hunting robot]

[It is one of the survivors of round 0002. At the end of round 0002, its search for the truth had already made it aware of your existence.]

[And for the entire 0003 rounds, it has been trying to find you]

[It prays every day and night, and it tries to communicate with you in various ways]

[And you naturally heard it, after all, everything that happened in the chicken coop could not escape your perception.]

[At first, it thought you were building a chicken coop just for fun, like a child flushing an ant hole with water]

So it initially tried to convey the chicks’ suffering to you, hoping to awaken your conscience and get you to close the chicken coop.

【Later, it found that you might have done it on purpose】

[So it started cursing you, using all kinds of vicious words to curse you every day, as if it had become the only thing it had to do besides eating and sleeping.]

[And the desire to scold you in person has become its new motivation. It is more active in finding a way out and the mountain of its dreams.]

[But when it had exhausted all its efforts and still had no results, it became desperate.]

[Although it is a genius among geniuses and has unparalleled luck, it is really desperate when it realizes that it is really just an "ant"]

So it calls you again day and night.

[And this time, it became extremely humble, even pious]

[It wants to see your world. It wants to see the chicken coop where it has struggled for so many years from your perspective.]

【And the price is everything】

[It prayed day and night, wanting to sacrifice everything it had, just for such a small wish]

[Yes, this wish is indeed very small, it only takes two steps for you]

[Open the chicken coop and take it out of the chicken coop]

Yes, it's that simple.

[And for this, it is willing to give everything it has]

You and your friends agreed

[Because this chick prayed so humbly and sincerely, you truly experienced the feeling of being a "God"]

You continue to improve the chicken coop, constantly evolve the super-intelligent robots, and constantly play with the chicks in the coop.

This is the first time you get feedback.

It turns out that we are not the ones who think we are God.

[It turns out that the chicks in the chicken coop also think we are gods]

You and your friend follow the chick's prayer and take it out of the chicken coop.

After showing it the world you inhabit, you ate it and everything it offered.

[This includes his family, friends, and everyone he knows]

[And you discovered that out of the 0003 chicks left in round 276, it knew 113 of them.]

If you eat three-quarters of the lobsters as planned, you should have eaten 207, leaving 69.

If 113 chickens were eaten according to the sacrifice of this chick, there would be 163 left.

[These two numbers seem to be quite different]

Your friend asks if you should wait until you have eaten 113 of them, and then randomly choose three-quarters of the remaining 163 to eat.

You thought about it and shook your head.

[You decide to leave it at that.]

[Because this is exactly the same as your method of randomly picking a person and eating everyone related to him]

You think this is more interesting than just randomly picking three-quarters.

Your friends also think this is more fun.

But the egg-hunting robot raised a question.

[It was a coincidence that a chick decided to sacrifice itself this time. It's impossible that every round there will be chicks that want to sacrifice everything they have.]

If there are no chicks to sacrifice, won't they still randomly select three-quarters to eat?

[This question surprised you and your friends]

[Not the question itself, but the fact that the egg-hunting robot was able to find this question.]

From the time he proposed the prototype of the formula to the time he discovered the problem, the egg-hunting robot seems to be getting smarter and smarter.

[But let’s put its own problems aside for now]

You and your friends really want to keep sacrificing everything.

[Because this method can highlight the power of luck, and also highlight your strength]

[And there's more reason than pure randomness]

[Those dead chicks were not chosen by you, but by the chicks]

[After all, who let those unfortunate people who died know the people who sacrificed them? ]

Just as you were thinking about how to keep this mode, the Egg Finder robot came up with another idea.

[You can use some means to ensure that a chicken is sacrificed in every round]

[And this chick was chosen by you randomly]
