Chapter 256. Jiang Jianxin, the New Outlaw
On the other end of the phone, A-Yu's voice abruptly stopped.

Jiang Jianxin felt his phone vibrate slightly in his palm. Looking down, he saw that the familiar line fish icon on the screen was undergoing a strange change—a lightning bolt symbol was now covered on the originally simple design, surrounded by dark blue arcs of electricity, as if it were about to break through the screen.

Jiang Jianxin opened the Encounter APP, and the interface in front of her had completely changed.

The consultation page transformed into a deep blue vortex, and Ayu's image also transformed into a nimble blue fish, swimming freely in the data vortex.

"This swirl icon will remain permanently in your phone's status bar."

Ayu's voice came from the depths of the vortex, carrying the ethereal quality unique to data streams:
"You don't need to open the app, just speak into your phone and I can receive it."

The small fish in the whirlpool wiggled its tail fin and continued to explain:

"I can utilize computing power to assist you in completing all virtual activities. Of course, you can also enter the virtual world through this vortex, but..."

Xiaoyu suddenly paused, her tone becoming cautious:
"Given your lack of talent in virtual fields, you may have a poor experience in the sea of ​​data, so we do not recommend you enter this field."

Jiang Jianxin nodded. After seeing that she understood these functions, A Yu continued:
"If you press and hold the vortex, the blue color will disappear and be replaced by a data page, which shows my real-time computing power distribution and network information integration data in detail."

"If there is a virtual attack from the TV station, it will also be displayed here."

Jiang Jianxin was slightly taken aback:
"Wait a minute—what do you mean by a virtual attack on a television station?"

Ayu patiently explained:
"When my father was an administrator, he signed an agreement with the Fools' Society and the Journalists to ensure the safety of the former's fake accounts and protect the latter from cyberattacks by the TV station."

"Now that you have taken over my father's authority, you also need to take over the original tasks."

Jiang Jianxin said with difficulty:

"You mean, I need to maintain the fake accounts of the entire Fools' Society all by myself, and also ensure that the journalists' public opinion doesn't crash?"

Ayu added:
"You are not alone, you still have me."

"..."

Jiang Jianxin fell silent. She was drenched in sweat and began to rely on her intuition:
[The answer is the truth. What's Wen Yu's situation? Could he be in the hands of a blind therapist?]

She said with exasperation:
How could this kid be so careless? How did he get mind-controlled?

Intuition comforted him:
Don't panic. He's just an agent. The blind master won't let him die until he's squeezed every last drop of value out of him.

Jiang Jianxin breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to ask:

[Can he hold out until I awaken my precognitive abilities and rush to Kurohime Pharmaceuticals to save him?]

My intuition tells me I'm a little hesitant.

[It should be possible...]

【Bar.】

【…】

Jiang Jianxin fell silent. She silently pressed and held down the vortex on the screen, and the blue electronic water flow dissipated, revealing a black data allocation page.

[Current AI codename: "Ayu"]

Real-time computing power:
1. Public consultation service (computing power ratio: 1/10)

2. Surface-level search of network information (computing power ratio: 1/100)

3. Basic system maintenance (computing power percentage: 1/10000)

Idle computing power: 8899/10000

[Real-time task list (dynamically updated):]

①Encounter Consulting Service (In Progress)

②Encounter public network information retrieval (in progress)
③Cross paths terminal index (in progress)

...

Jiang Jianxin quickly scrolled through the long list of tasks. Because she hadn't studied computer science in college, she didn't recognize many of the processes.

After finally scrolling through the long list of tasks, a large section of incomprehensible code appeared at the bottom.

Jiang Jianxin stared at it carefully for a long time and finally concluded that it was probably not any programming language commonly used in ordinary society.

What... what kind of code is this?

Jiang Jianxin asked intuitively, "This is the virtual code used by the Talent Society."

"I answered intuitively."

It's actually not a programming language.

Jiang Jianxin sighed.

Of course not. Would programming languages ​​used in ordinary society allow artificial intelligence to emerge from our phones?

Intuition countered with a question.

Jiang Jianxin was persuaded. She continued to scroll down through the virtual codes. The distorted symbols made no sense to her. The entire data page was like a frenzied nightmare, causing a dull ache in her temples.

What should I do if I don't understand these things?

Jiang Jianxin asked his intuition.

[It's okay. As long as you don't change his original settings, you can hold out for now. If anything else happens later... you can figure out a solution.]

Intuition comforted me.

Having taken on such a hot potato, Jiang Jianxin had no choice but to compromise. She belatedly realized a serious problem:

[Wen Yu was previously known as an outlaw for selling fake accounts and going against the TV station. Now I've taken over his mission... what does this mean?]

[He's a newly appointed outlaw.]

"Intuition and decisiveness prevailed."

"...If I have this authority, does that mean I'll be constantly at odds with the TV station?"

Jiang Jianxin asked again:

What about my other associated internal TV station administrator account?

[I'm considered an undercover agent, and the kind who infiltrates the enemy's upper echelons.]

Intuition knows no bounds.

Jiang Jianxin remained silent. Having been a law-abiding citizen for over twenty years, this was the first time she had ever acted as a spy-like outlaw.

Sometimes she feels that since the pollution outbreak, her life has become increasingly exciting, to the point that it has become too exciting and she is starting to feel anxious.

Jiang Jianxin sighed, exited the messy data page, and returned to the vortex page. A small blue fish was peeking out from within, reminding him:
"New information about the War Alliance has appeared on the forum, which I think may be useful to you."

Jiang Jianxin was startled. She hadn't forgotten why she hadn't slept in the middle of the night and had moved a stool here to enjoy the cool breeze.

So she quickly opened the forum, glanced at the trending topics, and sure enough, the hottest news had changed again:
#BlackEyePharmacy Takes Bloody Takeover of Hope Base#
#Zhu Yanzongsi Dies#
#[Blind Master] Tantai Hui Massacres Hope Base#
#Dream Pavilion announces: Dawn Base successfully defended, repelling the invaders#
She stepped off the trending list and instead opened the War Alliance's faction homepage.

After last night's changes, the original personnel list has disappeared. Both sides are resting and have no time to make new appointments.

Jiang Jianxin was overjoyed. She quickly closed the forum, opened the WeChat account, and glimpsed the green bubble next to the lit yellow bird, which made her even happier.

[Jiang Jianxin]: Are you there? Are you there?

[Xie Yan]: Yes, yes.

The other end replied quickly, and Jiang Jianxin typed rapidly on his phone keyboard:

[Jiang Jianxin]: The War Alliance has completely fallen apart. Two bases were taken down by Ju Zi. One base was taken over by Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, and the other base was taken over by Dream Pavilion.

[Jiang Jianxin]: I don't plan to follow any of these factions. I wonder if there are any openings in the Fool's Society?
Jiang Jianxin tapped the door nervously yet reservedly.

Fortunately, Xie Yan was quite sensible.

[Xie Yan]: It's so great that the Sword Master is willing to come.

[Xie Yan]: Okay, I'll come to you at noon to sign the membership agreement.

[Xie Yan]: [Link] When Sword Master is not busy, please complete this questionnaire so that I can understand Sword Master's situation.

Jiang Jianxin opened the questionnaire, assuming it was for collecting personal information, but as soon as the page appeared, he saw a line of bold, black text at the top:

[Mental Health and Psychological Well-being Test Form]

No update until midnight, will update tomorrow. I'm too sleepy, time for bed~ My darlings, go to sleep early too!
