Chapter 231: Chapter 219: Passing Reward, and Change

[Clearance Condition: After uncovering the truth behind Deserted Mountain Night, decipher the true meaning of Flash, the clearance condition has been met.]

Everyone in the live streaming room took a long breath of relief as the room was engulfed in pure white, and as they listened to the system’s notification sound.

[Once again cleared, and this time Brother Xiao Yi is the first Chosen One to guess the truth of Deserted Mountain Night and decipher the true meaning of Flash. In other words, that’s a world first kill! Wow, just wow! Don’t we have to give a top-notch rating?]

[Definitely a top-notch rating, no doubt. I just didn’t expect that while other Country’s Chosen Ones were still pondering, Brother Xiao Yi had already figured it out on his own... Although we’ve successfully cleared, I can’t get over just this point, how did this happen?]

[It must be Xiao Yi’s second persona! It’s taken over Xiao Yi!]

[Damn, can we drop the persona talk already, enough is enough. Go too crazy and watch out, I’ll get real with you offline, after all, I am a C language guru!]

[Holy shit! What!]

[Is there a possibility that no one can hack into the Analog Horror streaming room, as its underlying logic, although interoperable with Blue Star Civilization programming language logic, is far too complex, practically unsolvable. So cut the crap about your box, and your C language, go eff yourself, and just drop dead!]

[Back to the point, we cleared it smoothly again, and that’s better than anything. Moreover, this instance was a bit special, basically as long as you know the Answer, you can clear it without many conditions. Plus the two chances for external hints, Chosen Ones from other Countries should be able to clear it too, right?]

[In fact, other Countries have already done so, the only question is, can they hold out without using external hints until this moment. Speaking of which, this instance was really gentle, this time it even had the highest clearance rate... though the number of Countries has also decreased quite a bit.]

[A bit of hell, though.]

As people in the streaming room were discussing, the system’s notification arrived once more.

[Ding! Congratulations to Dragon Country’s Chosen One, Xiao Yi, for successfully clearing the Nine Stars difficulty instance—Flash and Deserted Mountain Night. Clearance Evaluation: S Rank]

As everyone expected, Xiao Yi’s clearance evaluation was indeed S Rank, and moreover, the only S Rank evaluation in the world.

After all, he was the first and the only one to decipher the Answer on his own and clear.

Those other Chosen Ones who cleared did so by learning the Answer from him, so naturally, their evaluations were lowered.

But actually, most people didn’t care too much about the so-called evaluation level anymore, what they cared about was what the reward for this time would be.

And this time’s reward... honestly, there wasn’t much to say.

In fact, most rewards aren’t important; they won’t be mentioned later, so don’t worry too much, just skip over.

But the only reward worth noting, was that one.

[S Rank Evaluation Reward: Aide-use Real Artificial Intelligence—Tower.]

Almost everyone was taken aback upon seeing this particular reward.

[...Huh? Artificial Intelligence? Are we directly getting an Artificial Intelligence this time? I... I don’t even know if I should consider this a reward anymore!]

[Holy shit! This is no longer a conspiracy, it’s an overt plot! Has Analog Horror stopped pretending now?]

[Holy shit! Machine uprising! What kind of reward is this? It must be a traitor sent by Analog Horror! Absolutely must not use it!]

Many people subconsciously thought this Artificial Intelligence must have a conspiracy behind it, and it must not be used.

However, others had different thoughts.

[Don’t rush to get excited, everyone think about it. With the way Analog Horror has always behaved, if they wanted to kill us, it would be easy, why bother with such tricks? So, I think it’s fine to use it.]

[That’s right, don’t miss out on opportunities just because of fears.]

[But... are you sure that’s an opportunity and not just a deeper abyss we’re being drawn into?]

[What abyss? What’s Analog Horror’s angle with these moves? Keep it logical.]

[Maybe, Analog Horror has found a great treasure on us that we never knew existed. Everything Analog Horror does is to obtain this treasure, and by doing this, we’re playing into Analog Horror’s hands. Can you deny that possibility?]

[...]

With the announcement of this reward, the internet erupted into debate.

Over the issue of whether to use it or not, people continuously argued and expressed their opinions.

As for the Dragon Country higher-ups who actually controlled this Artificial Intelligence, there was calm.

Because... after seeing the reward, the first reaction of everyone was to look towards Xu Yingguang.

"Mr. Xu, how should we proceed?"

"..."

And Xu Yingguang could only respond with silence for the time being.

He was pondering.

However, he wasn’t just considering whether to use the gift from Analog Horror. Xu Yingguang was also thinking about something else.

That is... these people rely on him too much.

Indeed, Xu Yingguang had earned everyone’s trust through his actions and had significant influence.

Some had reservations when Xu had decided to use both external hint opportunities at once just to give Xiao Yi an ambiguous hint.

But as Xiao Yi succeeded, these minor displeasures also vanished.
