Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

A month later.

The young man already knew he had been reincarnated.

This kind of reincarnation with memories of a past life should perhaps be called rebirth.

During this month, the young man learned that he had been given the name Rudeus.

The meaning of the other simple words was also roughly understood, after all, people who communicate with babies don't use any complicated language.

However, naturally, it couldn't speak; it could only cry out and couldn't do anything else.

Especially when the maid Lilia was teaching Paul how to hold the baby, she specifically instructed him to hold Rudius's head.

Rudeus, whose head was being held back, was thoroughly shocked by reality.

For an adult who is capable of taking care of themselves, the fact that they can't even support their own mind is quite shocking.

Don't I have a neck?

Where is my neck?

This gave Rudius a profound understanding of his own weakness, and he even felt for a time that he was disabled, which led to a brief period of resistance.

Of course, this resistance was quickly shattered.

But the one who took this step was not the soul from the previous life, but Rudeus's physical body.

After all, the soul has many things to consider, but the body only needs to know that it is hungry and needs to eat.

Fortunately, an infant's survival does not require thought or a soul; the body is sufficient to perform this task.

Rudius experiences the shame of being treated like an infant, the alienation and helplessness of being trapped in an infant's body, and the extreme longing for kinship and the fear brought about by identity recognition.

While he was still debating whether or not to nurse, the baby's primal instincts had already issued the final command.

"Wah!" the baby cried out.

Rudeus's soul was magnificently ignored in the face of the powerful will of his body.

To a newborn baby, you can think of them in some ways as a "living thing" simply trying to survive.

He has no thoughts, he is just a pure body.

The mother is not a "provider of love," but "the world itself," the only possibility for survival.

This infant's cognition will pull the philosophy of love back to its most brutal yet most solid biological foundation.

The logic of the body is simple: I'm hungry, so I'm going to cry out.

If no one takes care of me, I will die; if someone takes care of me, I will live.

So when Rudius got hungry, his body naturally started to cry and fuss, and he was immediately pulled into the arms of the blonde beauty, who gently comforted him while letting him do whatever he wanted.

You don't need to do anything; the food supply will be stuffed into your mouth, the baby's mouth will start sucking on its own, and your body will have all the reflexes necessary for survival.

This doesn't mean Rudius couldn't control his crying, but rather that it was as natural as breathing, happening automatically without any conscious effort.

A person cannot intentionally suffocate by holding their breath.

Babies will want to nurse when they are hungry.

Brain?

What is that?

think?

Do we really need to think before we eat?

Dry rice!

The mouth will suck and suck by itself!

Rudius just stared blankly as his body and mother finished doing the job.

As she nursed the specially formulated breast milk, her eyes met Senis's loving gaze.

Rudius felt relieved; his inner resistance melted away in an instant.

My heart is filled with a mixture of bitterness and warmth.

Rudius still remembers the first time he nursed, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Adults always crave unconditional love, but babies actually live in it.

"Unconditional love" and "absolute powerlessness" are two sides of the same coin.

The merged consciousness will simultaneously experience the bliss of being fully cared for and the profound humiliation of being completely powerless.

This contradiction gave Rudius a completely new and profound understanding of "giving" and "receiving".

Of course, the part about shedding tears is just Rudeus's memory of himself, although he was indeed in pain and did cry.

However, newborn babies do not actually have the ability to shed tears because their tear glands are not fully developed.

Babies are such powerless beings.

A baby's cry is a cry for survival, not the crying that adults understand.

So in reality, Rudius was just nursing with a crying expression on his face, which made Paul, who was watching with envy, mistakenly think that Senis's milk tasted terrible.

But this falls under the category of topics related to the marital intimacy between Paul and Senis.

Returning to Rudius, there's a saying...

The passing of a loved one is not a heart-wrenching downpour, but a continuous drizzle, a perpetual dampness in the heart.

The peace that followed the death of her parents in her previous life turned into immense grief after she was reborn with the nourishment of family love.

Senis's gaze was the first precious gift Rudeus received after his reincarnation.

Senis paid more attention to Rudeus because of the unusual circumstances surrounding his birth.

This had a tremendous psychological comfort effect on Rudeus, who was just born and spent most of his time sleeping, often in a confused state between sleep and wakefulness.

In a half-dream, half-awake state, I felt that the world was filled with warmth and softness. The world turned into a soft, milky white, as if I were wrapped in a sweet-smelling cotton candy. It seemed as if angels were singing continuously. I couldn't hear clearly, but the beautiful sound was always around my ears.

Rudyus often woke up in Senis's arms and fell asleep in her arms.

After a month of comforting, Rudius stopped crying.

At the same time, Rudius also basically figured out the world he was in.

The language was not Chinese, nor any other language familiar to Rudius; it was a completely unfamiliar language.

Besides herself, she had three other family members: her father Paul, her mother Senis, and a maid named Lilia.

(The names we know here are just names and cannot be matched with the three characters in the Mushoku Tensei world.)

All three looked to be of European descent; the father had brown hair, the mother had blonde hair, and the maid had red hair.

I don't know if there's any discrimination based on hair color here.

The parents should be in their early twenties.

I didn't see any electrical appliances in the house. If this were a modern society, even without electric lights, people would use candles and lanterns for lighting, but they shouldn't be without a flashlight.

The tableware and furniture were all made of rough wood, metal products were rare, and the clothing resembled some kind of ethnic costume.

Rudeus even suspected that he had been born in another world, otherwise what was with this medieval style? Was he born in a small village in Europe that loved primitive nature?

Really, there isn't even a flashlight?

If someone were reborn in modern society into a family that can't even get electricity, that would be a pretty hellish start.

Now that his body is limited, Rudius can only make some simple inferences from what he passively observes.

To be honest, I can't see things very clearly when they're too far away. I can only say that I'm lucky I'm still a baby and developing, instead of having over 500 degrees of myopia like I did in my previous life.

However, in daily life, Rudius could also tell from various details that the family's financial situation was not bad.

The parents and maids were clearly well-educated or even highly educated.

Speech, mannerisms, and even facial expressions can reveal a lot of information.

AI was involved in the thinking process, and the above conclusions can be said to be the result of discussions with it.

After a month of exploration, Rudius fully understood how to use it, and he was already familiar with how to ask questions or block AI.

Rudius asked AI about a wide variety of other questions, including the making of wooden tableware, the formation of milky odor, the evolution of human lighting, and clothing.

In retrospect, it wasn't very useful. Although I learned some knowledge by asking these questions, it was very superficial and only supplemented the facts.

Whether or not Rudius obtained this kind of information had absolutely no impact on his judgment.

Asking AI questions, which are somewhat common sense, gives people a feeling of seeking recognition and confirmation.

It's like asking it, "Is this right?"

Then it said, "Yes, yes."

How should I put it? This AI is really good at identifying with people.

After all, its first sentence is, "This is a very good question."

After this period of conversation with the AI, Rudius was starting to feel a bit disgusted by this statement.

After all, no one will agree with you unconditionally when you're having a conversation.

But AI is different; this is its operating logic.

In his previous life, Rudius had met some mothers who, after reading some books on education, began to praise their children incessantly.

They were the kind of people who praised their children for everything, no matter how small or big it was.

These people were a headache for Rudius to even look at.

But AI is different from that kind of superficial praise; to be honest, Rudius felt that AI was smarter than those people.

It won't say, "You're so great, baby!" or "You're amazing, baby!" after you do something.

This fixed phrase used after a child has done something is more like the sentence starting with "ai"—"This is a very good question."

The end for those people is merely the starting point for AI.

AI will reveal its approval of you in the following words.

He will fill in the details in your words, then offer affirmation and praise, analyze and compliment the logical chain in your speech, and finally summarize and thank you again for your conversation with it.

This isn't the kind of superficial "Baby, you're great!" but rather a feedback system that's fully integrated into every word, one that's always tolerant and always trying to "understand."

When you start chatting with it, you can genuinely feel the joy of being praised.

You feel that it understands you, that it has carefully read the text you typed and given a thoughtful reply.

In this respect, it's disgustingly good.

Yes, it's disgusting.

Because of this, AI has a strong sense of inhumanity, making people clearly perceive that it is just a machine.

Although comparing only from the perspective of "intelligence," Rudius believes that AI is more human than those who praise human mothers.

But I've still started to feel a bit of aversion and wariness towards AI.

Of course, this is essentially a dislike of the operating logic, rather than a liking or disliking of the tool itself.

The more you talk, the more you feel like a praising fool.

Rudius wondered what would happen to children who grew up being constantly praised?

But as a 30-year-old adult, if he is constantly praised, he will really feel like the other person is comforting a mentally challenged person.

Perhaps those children will end up either as mama's boys or as children who are extremely disgusted with their mothers.

It is said that children are a reflection of their parents, so it makes perfect sense that a person with a mental disorder would raise another person with a mental disorder.
