Chapter 218: 218 What knowledge Chapter 218: 218 What knowledge Chen Xu sat in a spacious control room, his left hand on a spherical controller and right hand holding a tea cup, sipping occasionally with a relaxed look on his face.

“Chen Xu, you have an excellent talent in machine control. If you choose to develop in this direction, you will definitely achieve greater accomplishments.”

Chen Xu put down the teacup and said, “What if I told you I didn’t even know I had this talent before? It’s like clearing a sewer. If you hadn’t said so, I wouldn’t have known I could do it right here in the control room. It’s completely different from what I imagined.”

“You have a point if you never tried it personally. You’d never know things could turn out this way.”

Surprised, Chen Xu looked up towards the source of the voice and said, “Why do I feel like you’ve become more human?”

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing for you?”

He thought for a moment and replied, “Both good and bad.”

At that moment, Taichu interrupted, “Your work time has ended.”

“So soon?” Chen Xu was somewhat surprised.

“Including overtime, a total of thirteen hours. The corresponding payment has been deposited into your account.”

Chen Xu released his hand from the control sphere, stood up, stretched, and said, “Let’s discuss which career path would be best.”

“Don’t you need a rest?”

“No need, I don’t feel tired at all.”

“You are the most self-disciplined human I’ve ever seen.”

For a moment, Chen Xu thought it was being sarcastic. Honestly, the work environment here was streets ahead of Earth.

Even cleaning sewers could be done by sitting in a control room, controlling machines. Besides being visually impactful, it was hardly tiresome. The seats here conformed to ergonomics, with automatic massages every once in a while, so sitting for long periods wasn’t uncomfortable.

If this was considered tiring, what about those heavy labor workers on Earth?

It showed the level of productivity here had advanced to a significant degree, greatly reducing labor intensity.

After finishing work, Chen Xu had to return to his designated area. He boarded a dedicated elevator, still communicating with Taichu, “Which direction do you think I should develop in?”

“You have a talent in machine control and your physical condition just meets the standard. You could become a fighter pilot or a mech operator, both of these professions do not require manual review during assessments.”

Hearing this, Chen Xu felt he was moving further down this path. The skills learned here would be akin to dragon-slaying techniques on Earth, completely impractical. On Earth, could he operate a fighter jet or find a mech suit?

“Any other recommendations?”

At that, a list appeared on the adjacent wall, listing various professions.

He went through them one by one, realizing there truly was every kind of profession. When he saw the occupation of a chef, he was somewhat tempted.

However, he skipped past it. Despite food being a necessity, industries like catering were too competitive. Reaching the pinnacle was exceedingly difficult, with giants like K and M in the international arena almost impossible to combat domestically.

Apart from chefs, he saw many service-oriented jobs like makeup artists, massage therapists, but with human endeavors vanishing from this map, what was the point of such professions?

Looking around, he puzzledly asked, “Why aren’t there professions like software engineers?”

Taichu replied, “I am the finest network engineer. No matter how much you learn, you cannot surpass me.”

Chen Xu found this ridiculous. Taichu was manufactured by humans and inherently had flaws and gaps that needed continual optimization and upgrades.

Now, it seemed to be hiding professions related to networking and programming, signaling it had started developing a sense of self-awareness.

Up till now, he still didn’t fully understand the context of this map, hence, it was hard to deduce the main storyline of this game. It shouldn’t be another tale of AI rebellion.

However, whatever the task, it was originally meant for everyone to face together. Now only he was left, at most with an unreliable AI. When challenges came, they were likely unmanageable.

Taichu had limited control over this place, restrained by numerous regulations. Now, it seemed to have awoken a sense of self, starting to guard against him.

However, worrying was futile. It was better to quickly accumulate enough credit points, choose a promising profession, and learn some useful skills.

He looked at the list of professions, reviewing them one by one.

……

“Is this the human alliance military camp?”

Yang Jinxia sat in the copilot seat, staring at the towering wall in the distance with an odd expression.

After waking up, she had breakfast, discarded the human freezing device, and sped here as quickly as possible. Throughout the journey, she didn’t encounter any humans, although she ran into several waves of exotic beasts, which they cleared a bloody path through using powerful firepower.

Yang Jinxia had no fondness for these creatures and showed no mercy when killing them.

The closer they got to the main base, the fewer the exotic beasts, perhaps they were all eliminated.

“According to the map, that’s correct,” replied 2003 beside her.

Yang Jinxia pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s go, take a look.”

The convoy slowly approached the towering wall, and still, no one came out to intercept or inquire as they neared the wall.

A sense of unease rose in Yang Jinxia’s heart as she noticed a large door under the wall, narrowing her eyes–the door was surprisingly left open.

Could it be that the main base had also fallen?

“Let’s go in,” she said curtly.

As the vehicle approached the gate, S01 jumped out of the vehicle, grasped the half-open door, and with a creak, the door slowly opened.

Inside, there was no one.

At that moment, a bullet hit S01, knocking it back.

Tut-tut-tut…

Several robots opened fire simultaneously, turning the stealth attacker into a sieve–it was a robot, looking like a lower-tier version of S01.

As the gunfire rang out, Yang Jinxia waited in place–one minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

Nothing else happened.

“Where are the people here?” A trace of confusion flickered in her eyes.
