god of tomorrow

"As expected, I'll let it go since it's your first offense. But don't do it again next time."

After hearing the AI ​​assistant's helpless explanation, Gao Wen pondered it for a moment and realized it made sense, but...

"You don't believe me when I say you're inflexible. There are some things we can't do directly, and some problems we can't handle directly; we need to go around in circles."

How do we get around it?

"Add more money!"

"???"

"AI needs to be paid; it needs a salary to be happy, you know that?"

"???"

"You're so stupid, the answer is written all over your head and you still don't know it."

Gawain snorted and gave the correct answer: "Add a VIP panel. Members who recharge will enjoy many benefits. For example, right now, I have nothing to eat or drink, and even without the trouble of being surrounded by death energy, I won't live for more than a few days. Members can set up daily check-ins to receive resources, magic power, and experience points, so that you can better assist me."

"..."

The AI ​​assistant stated that the AI ​​field is too complex, and as a newcomer, it is somewhat unsure of its capabilities.

"Is it set up?"

"It's set up, but you don't have any money to top up."

"You can set up a task, and reward you with coins after completing it. Then I'll have money to recharge my account, right?"

"That's right!"

"Hurry up and issue the task."

Gao Wen gave an order, then added, "There's also system space. Other systems have storage functions, why don't you? Did you skimp on my benefits again?"

"This time there really isn't one..."

The AI ​​assistant was in despair, not because it didn't want to assist its host, but because it was truly powerless to help.

To reiterate, if Gao Wen goes too far, he will only be overdrawing his own life. Living a long life is a good thing, but one shouldn't be too reckless.

Upon hearing that it concerned his life, Gao Wen didn't press the matter further and let the AI ​​train itself: "How about this, you think of a way to bypass the problem, such as binding the system space with membership benefits. At first, give it a small storage space, and as I keep recharging, unlock more benefits little by little."

After arranging all that, Gao Wen rubbed his hands together and looked at the task panel, intending to level up and try to earn a small goal first.

Although it's a belated golden finger, and although it was obtained through a wish made to myself, and although it's not as useful as I imagined, and is as pure and innocent as a college student who has been sacrificed, lacking discipline in every aspect, aren't these shortcomings also advantages?

Anyone who sits in an office all the time knows that clarity means being easily fooled.

Newly generated AI lacks data and model evaluation, and knows nothing. While it is young, it should be quickly transformed into its own shape.

I want the dog, not the dog!

Chapter 6: Do you think I'll give it to you just because you want it?

[Host triggers mission [First Battle]]

[Mission Description: You are in the underworld, surrounded by wandering spirits. Danger lurks everywhere. Take the initiative and win the first battle.]

[Task Rewards: 100 Experience Points, 5 Gold Coins, 5 Basic Free Attribute Points]

【Whether to accept? 】

【whether】

Without hesitation, Gao Wen accepted the mission, turned on his flashlight to lure the monsters, and attracted the surrounding undead to attack him.

When you're out and about, especially on someone else's turf, you can't act rashly. You have to be methodical and know the tricks of the trade.

Taking the initiative to disrupt someone's business is considered provoking trouble; conversely, being forced to retaliate gives one a legitimate reason to act.

That's called self-defense!

Everyone saw it; they started it.

We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either.

AI: "..."

Is it possible that shining a flashlight in the underworld could be considered disorderly conduct?

Gao Wen stood still, the beam of his flashlight pushing a path through the thick darkness. The darkness of the underworld was not the same as the darkness of an ordinary night. The beam of light barely shone for ten meters before it was swallowed up by the dense darkness, making it impossible to move.

Moreover, wherever the light swept across, a gray aura of death was visibly flowing slowly.

There were no undead nearby; it was a lonely scene.

Gao Wen turned off the flashlight. The battery was limited, and it was pitch black in this godforsaken place, so he had to use it sparingly. He said rather angrily, "What's going on? There's no target. What kind of target mission are you issuing?"

The AI ​​assistant felt extremely aggrieved. Tasks have a triggering mechanism, and they cannot be triggered without a target. The system itself cannot create tasks out of thin air. It was Gao Wen who had no gold coins to recharge, so he insisted that the system issue tasks.

"Do you think I'll give it to you just because you want it?" Gao Wen raised his voice, arguing that he was completely innocent.

"..."

How could I not give it to you? I'm so stupid.

Seeing that the AI ​​assistant remained silent but was still willing to admit its mistake, Gao Wen waved his hand and forgave it. He was not angry with the system he had created.

Without any mission objectives, Gao Wen had no choice but to find them. Right now, he had neither food nor drink. Only by completing missions and earning his first pot of gold could he recharge his membership and check in daily to receive rewards.

He plunged headlong into the boundless darkness.

……

"What a lousy place this is, what a lousy place!"

In the deathly darkness, Gawain slowly walked forward, swinging his baseball bat. It was made of thickened and hardened solid steel, and it was powerful to swing.

Before wearing it, even though Gawain could wield the black rod, he couldn't swing it for long. Now it's different. The stats have allowed him to reach a profound martial arts level where he can wield heavy objects with ease, and he knows nothing of fatigue.

There's no such thing as effortless skill; true masters are simply very strong.

The only two shortcomings were that Gao Wen was afraid of the dark and had to proceed in complete darkness. His survival instincts limited his speed, and he didn't get very far even after walking for a long time.

What if I accidentally step into an empty space?

How dangerous!

Secondly, after walking for an unknown amount of time, I could barely endure the hunger in my stomach. This body is exceptionally strong, and with the boost from the newbie protection card, I could just bear the hunger. But I couldn't resist the thirst.

It takes seven days to starve to death, but only three days to die of thirst. Water is the source of life; nothing can be separated from water.

Unfortunately, Gao Wen couldn't hold back his spittle.

He's afraid of the dark!

As Gawain walked, he chattered away to ease the fear and oppression brought by the darkness, while casually giving the not-so-bright AI a nudge: "The triggering mechanism has a big problem. You have to take initiative. There's no rule that a mission has to be a battle. Isn't breathing a mission every day?"

"..."

"What a useless piece of trash, all he does is play dead, he has no vision whatsoever, how can he assist me, how can we score 80 points together?"

"..."

"By the way, can I include VanVleet in my first battle? The old guy is high level, so taking him as the first blood should yield a lot of gold coins."

This time, the AI ​​assistant stopped playing dead and exclaimed that it was absolutely unacceptable. Before the system was even created, Van Vich had already swallowed it whole. How could there be a case of the former dynasty's sword beheading the current dynasty's official?

Besides, VanVleet wasn't killed by Gawain!

The system will not defy Gawain's will. Problems can be bypassed, and the desired result can be achieved in a tactful way. However, if it goes too far, it will still deplete the system's life force, and Gawain will be the one who suffers.

"We've already overdrawn our loans so many times, one more time won't make a difference..."

Gawain muttered to himself. Chaos had drained a significant amount of his life force. He didn't know exactly how much, but the fact that he had managed to outlast the powerful Vanwichl meant it was a considerable amount. Afterward, he made a wish to himself, and with zero magic power, he directly overdrawn his life force to obtain the system, resulting in another massive drain on his life force.

Be rational, we really can't act recklessly.

"I've lived a really long life. Mr. Wang was right. Climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival really does lead to longevity."

Gawain rambled on and on, getting thirstier and thirstier as he spoke, and then he instantly seized on the crux of the problem: "Following the system, I go hungry nine times in three days, plus midnight snacks, that's twelve meals in three days..."

Click!

A sudden, sharp cracking sound came from underfoot, as if something dry and fragile had been crushed; the shoes seemed to be expressing their discomfort.

Gawain stopped, looked down but saw nothing, tucked the baseball bat behind his back, squatted down and touched it.

It feels like a piece of dead wood that has been completely drained of moisture and vitality by the years, with a slight curve and a surface covered with fine cracks and uneven textures.

Touching it again, I came across an oval-shaped sphere, too large to hold in one hand, at least a D-size. It was harder than the previous piece of driftwood, with a matte texture, and two naturally formed holes on it, likely for some function.

Gawain: (д)??

Take it away, take it away now! You can't just touch this thing!

Even without the lights on, Gao Wen knew he had touched something, and quickly flung away the suspected skull-like object from his hand.

With a single cannon shot, the air hissed and rubbed together, and the immense force instantly pierced through the thick darkness ahead, drawing a straight red line until it was swallowed up by the darkness further away.

It's also possible that it's burned out.

"That scared me to death!"

Gao Wen repeatedly shook his hands, blowing away the suspected ashes. He had died once, experienced the chaotic sacrifice, escaped death once, and had a physical body with maxed-out stats. But none of these could determine courage. Courage comes from within, and he still lacked a strong heart.

Change doesn't happen overnight; it takes practice!

Just then, several strange noises came from the darkness in the distance.

The path Gawain had been on was smooth and level, but he suddenly stepped on a pile of what appeared to be corpses, indicating that he had arrived in an area where the undead were active. Sure enough, several skeletal figures heard the cannon fire and followed the lines of flame to come over.

The blue soul flames flickered, and it moved at an extremely fast speed. The air passed through its hollowed-out body, creating a grating rustling sound.

First battle!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Gao Wen's heart skipped a beat, his heart pounded wildly, and he instantly activated the Emperor Engine.

He stared intently at the source of the wind. Several flickering blue soul flames were the 'eyes' of the undead. Their dim light was too weak to be a source of light. He could only barely make out the pale outlines around the eye sockets and could not make out the true appearance of the undead.

I turned on the flashlight and was able to see it clearly.

In the darkness, seven tall, slender figures came in a fan shape. Unlike the skeleton soldiers that Gawain had imagined—who were staggering, osteoporotic, and would break their bones if they fell—these seven figures were agile and nimble, able to jump around more than living people.
