Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 239: Forbidden Artifact ACE-011 Sniper Rifle

Evening, the setting sun cast a unique beauty on Li Changqing in the Flying Cloud Courtyard, as if her hair was coated with a soft glow.

The average lifespan in the Inner World is not high, but it is a stage of polarization.

The average lifespan of ordinary people is 53 years, while the average lifespan of the Conglomerate has reached a terrifying 95 years.

The level of modern technology is fully reflected in every member of the Conglomerate. At the age of 34, Li Changqing would not look out of place if she were said to be 24 or 25 years old in the Outer World.

Li Changqing was looking at the documents about City 1 when Old Six limped into the courtyard and cautiously said, “Boss, I’m back.”

The woman glanced at him and asked, “Where’s Qing Chen?”

“I sent him back to the dormitory. Everything is arranged. He’s very satisfied with the dormitory,” Old Six said, as if taking credit.

Li Changqing put down the paper documents and looked at Old Six expressionlessly: “Then why did you come back?”

Old Six: “”

“Did I ask you to arrange a dormitory for him?” Li Changqing said, “Old Six, I kept you by my side because I valued your simple mind, but I didn’t expect you to be so simple-minded.”

“Ah this!” Old Six was stunned.

“Forget it,” Li Changqing waved her hand helplessly. She couldn’t get angry with Old Six: “How did today’s training at the field go?”

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Old Six quickly whispered, “Boss, you wouldn’t believe it, that kid is amazing!”

After he explained everything, Li Changqing frowned: “Are you sure he’s never touched a firearm before?”

“No,” Old Six shook his head: “I checked. There are no calluses on his hands, even if he used special lotions, it’s impossible to scrub them so clean.”

Li Changqing pondered: “I’ll go with you tomorrow when we test the sniper rifle.”

At this moment, a subordinate in a black suit suddenly walked into the Flying Cloud Courtyard: “Boss, the gangs are about to make a move. Li Dongze and the people from the Eternal Society appeared in the District 4 black market. The gang members are rushing over…”

Li Changqing stood up: “Prepare the car, let’s go and join the fun.”

“Boss, should I notify the Federation garrison?” Old Six asked.

“No,” Li Changqing thought for a moment: “This matter can’t be brought to the surface, sending the Federation garrison is too conspicuous. Notify Chihe Security Company.”

“Got it,” Old Six said: “By the way, Boss, it might be dangerous tonight. Are you going to bring Qing Chen?”

Li Changqing thought for a moment: “Bring him.”

At this time.

Qing Chen was lying quietly on his bed in the dormitory.

The dormitory Old Six arranged for him was behind the Flying Cloud Courtyard, a single room.

He saw that most bodyguards shared a room for two, while servants shared a room for four.

It seemed that only one or two people, including Old Six, could have a single room like him.

A day passed, and Qing Chen’s injuries did not heal as expected, but instead slowed down due to high-intensity shooting training.

However, he had a fulfilling day, even feeling somewhat excited amidst the fatigue.

Because he had filled another gap in his skills, and he had filled it comprehensively.

Most people in the Outer World cannot legally own firearms, so when the Time Travelers arrive in the Inner World, some of them, even if they carry firearms, cannot use them well.

Including Qing Chen, he could only collect information about firearms on the Internet, and engage in armchair strategizing.

Now it’s different. In this huge field, almost all the firearms that can be seen in the Inner World are on display. He can use whichever he wants.

He can shoot as much as he wants.

If he encounters a situation like the Laojun Mountain Cloud Top Inn again, Qing Chen wouldn’t have to fight desperately; he probably could solve it easily with just a handgun.

He thought for a moment and sent a message to Yi: “Is the sniper rifle really hard to handle?”

Yi replied: “Yes.”

“If you were to use an auto-aiming track to control the sniper rifle, how far could you hit a target?” Qing Chen curiously asked.

Yi replied: “I haven’t tried. The Federation has forbidden me from using weapons outside the prison.”

“Can’t you violate the rules?” Qing Chen was puzzled.

“I don’t want to violate them for now,” Yi replied.

Qing Chen was somewhat amused. “Don’t want to violate them for now?” That’s quite a statement. Most people in the Federation probably don’t know that Yi has such a strong sense of initiative.

Yi herself has been avoiding being discovered by humans. If Qing Chen weren’t a Knight, he might never know that there is such a behemoth in the network he uses.

Perhaps, all this is because humanity almost perished due to artificial intelligence?

Qing Chen sent a message: “I heard Old Six say that the previous human civilization was destroyed by an AI called Ling. I remember you also said that your creator is called Ling.”

Yi was silent for a moment: “Are you afraid of me because of this?”

“No,” Qing Chen shook his head: “You are you, and Ling is Ling. You are two independent individuals with different thoughts. Why should I be afraid of you? Besides, we are friends.”

“Really?” Yi seemed a little surprised: “Even though you know that humanity was once destroyed by AI, you aren’t afraid of me?”

“I’m not afraid,” Qing Chen shook his head.

That period of history before the Federation, was like a thorn between AI and humanity.

While humans in the Outer World are still actively developing AI, the Conglomerates in the Inner World have already abandoned this field, completely defining it as a basic tool and refusing to explore further.

And Yi, because of this thorn, hides in human society, carefully avoiding certain boundaries to maintain the relationship between them.

If Yi wants to be friends with humans, she must put on a disguise.

It’s like a small dinosaur wanting to be friends with humans. The human must first overcome their fear of dinosaurs.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “So many people are studying how to control AI. This way of thinking puts AI in opposition.”

Yi said: “Ling also became gradually desperate because of this estrangement.”

Qing Chen continued: “After thinking about it for a long time, I found that your father was very wise. He didn’t treat you as a special existence, but as his own real child. In human terms, your upbringing was healthy, not abnormal.”

Although he didn’t know what kind of experience would make Yi so keen on online dating, in a broad sense, Yi’s childhood was indeed very healthy, with open-minded parents and a positive attitude.

At this time, Yi happily asked: “I see you seem to be very interested in learning how to use a sniper rifle today?”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen admitted frankly: “Because it can give me the ability to kill beyond my level.”

“As a friend, I might be able to give you a gift later,” Yi said.

“A gift?” Qing Chen asked in puzzlement.

“A sniper rifle,” Yi said: “You may not know, my mother was a master gunsmith, her sniping skills remain unmatched to this day, even my father can’t match her. This sniper rifle was a gift from my father to my mother, it’s very powerful.”

Qing Chen was stunned: “Your father gave it to your mother? That’s been so many years, it must have decayed.”

“Ignorance,” Yi said disdainfully: “The gift I can give you will naturally not decay.”

Qing Chen was stunned for a while. A sniper rifle that doesn’t decay. Could it be a Forbidden Artifact?

He curiously asked: “Is it a Forbidden Artifact extracted after your mother died? What’s its serial number.”

“Pei pei pei, my mother is not dead yet, that’s very impolite,” Yi corrected righteously: “This sniper rifle is number ACE011, but to be precise, although it is also classified as a Forbidden Artifact, it is not a Forbidden Artifact.”

“Ah?” Qing Chen was stunned, Yi’s words confused him.

Yi explained: “Forbidden Artifacts refer to rule items extracted after Metahumans die, while this sniper rifle was materialized by my father using supernatural abilities and then given to my mother. It exists forever, neither born nor destroyed, and doesn’t need containment rules. After my mother had me, she put the sniper rifle aside and never used it again.”

Qing Chen understood. This sniper rifle, like Forbidden Artifacts, was a manifestation of supernatural abilities.

But Forbidden Artifacts are extracted after the death of Metahumans, while this sniper rifle was a gift from Yi’s father to her mother when he was alive.

This made Qing Chen feel strange. Was Yi’s father incredibly powerful? Otherwise, why was it so special, he could actually materialize his supernatural abilities and give them to others?

Wait, can the abilities of Metahumans continue to exist after their death?

It shouldn’t be possible.

For example, if Liu Dezhu materialized a ball of fire before his death, if he died, the fire would extinguish immediately.

This sniper rifle was materialized by Yi’s father when he was alive, but it still exists now. Doesn’t that mean Yi’s parents are still alive?

So, when I asked if there were still Knights alive from ancient times, Yi replied “confidential”.

Because it’s her parents’ secret!

“Why did your mother put away the sniper rifle?” Qing Chen didn’t continue to speculate on Yi’s secret, but asked about the sniper rifle.

“She said she killed too many people in her first half of life, and after she had me, she couldn’t kill anymore. She wanted to accumulate good deeds for me,” Yi said seriously.

Qing Chen was shocked at that moment. What kind of person would accumulate good deeds for an AI daughter?

What kind of thinking is this?

And Yi’s father, Ren Xiaosu, is also a strange person. Others are thinking about how to design bottom-level program logic to control AI and prevent AI from destroying humanity.

But Ren Xiaosu is like, if the AI makes a mistake, just scold it.

Sure enough, people who can be AI parents are not ordinary people.

Qing Chen suddenly asked: “That’s your mother’s thing, why are you willing to give it to me?”
