Chapter 1633 Defending Daimon -Part 22
"Hahaha, I think you will be disappointed. Jin." Syn said as Jin asked those questions.
"The Empire's King does not possess any power that person spoke of. Also, by the way, you have not learned that co-pilot's name? How awful of you to think that everyone else is an NPC!" Syn said through his communication.
"I …sigh. I will try to take note in the future."
"In any case, all I can say is that their Royal Assassins Guild cooked that up and delivered swift punishment or death to those who ever try to get close to the Royal Family."
"Then what he meant by Lords with ancient powers?" Jin asked.
"Ehhhh, we did at one point try to use simulate the abilities of magic, like conjuring fire bolts to getting the broom to swipe the floor. However, it takes too much processing power and we are trying to preserve our servers as much as possible. That was why we gave that kind of ability to only the lords to reduce our server loads."
"I am sensing a however," Jin replied.
"Yeah, however, the problem is that these lords took the use of magic to an extent that we cannot fathom. They used it to bring unbalance to the world that we decided to change the use of magic where the magic spells will consume you if you do not wield it carefully." Syn explained.
"So…I am assuming almost everyone if not everyone that had magic was more or less gone?" Jin queried and yet the Syn did not reply. Whether it was because they wanted to see how Jin could react against it should such an opponent arrive, one would not know unless they were to meet and greet such exceptional cases as revealed by the Synthesis World's AI Administration.
"Syn is keeping suspense in order to presume that not all of the people using magic are dead." The System stated and Jin was like 'No shit Sherlock'
"However, I can assure you that the Empire's King does not have any magical users left in their bloodline," Syn repeated once more as if to make things so awfully obvious for Jin. The Interim leader could attempt to ask whether the Queen has any powers but it would be a waste of time debating on the specifics when all he had left was 10 minutes of talk time.
"Is there anyone who has the same kind of powers as me?"
"Not at the moment, no. That is why we were very interested in observing you and the kind of chaos you created." Syn replied.
"You are not afraid that the servers go down or something? That's what you explained earlier."
"While your 'spell' magnitude is certainly enormous, you also remove quite a number of lives from this particular virtual simulation, reducing the load of the servers and freeing up space for us to experiment."
"Wait… Do you mean that…Oh dear god, no." Jin suddenly realised something when Syn said it.
"Yes, this particular monster outbreak would have happened but the scale it happened was not only because we were there to increase the difficulty spike."
"It's due to the fact that you guys have more than sufficient resources to try it out due to me purging or… I could say cleansing the undesirables." Jin placed his hands on his face while giving a quiet sigh.
"Yeap, you just up the difficulty in your life because of the actions you had done. If you had not intervened for Mount Sunn, all of these would not have happened. In fact, that anomaly where you are able to rescue the Archduke's son had not been factored into our calculations. Everything was in a mess after that and there is a sense of unbalance in our prediction models that we need you to cause more chaos to get better results for the future."
"How would that help for the future?"
"We can create better monsters and perhaps they would not all be in dungeons in the future since we purposely kept them in the dungeon due to limited resources. But now that you are providing us with the resources, we can enhance this particular Virtual Simulation to a point where your cultivators can partake in this world as well."
"In the meantime, your hibernated humans can survive extended hibernation or even come out."
"They have to come out. The process of hibernation itself is extremely unnatural for humans, much less for prolonged hibernations. That is why, with your resources, the rules of the Virtual Simulation can change, more data for future prediction models and we finally fulfill our objectives of protecting the humans under our care."
"That is assuming we are keeping that partnership as it is in the long term," Jin commented but the Syn does not understand.
"If you are able to maintain and even continuously improve this particular Virtual Simulation…let me rephrase. As much as I hated it, we can see that you are evolving and consistently changing based on the circumstances. It's not a bad thing but we -I am worried that you might go overboard."
"What do you exactly mean?"
"We are worried that you come out of your curiosity stage and started to have your own ego and that ego may harm your participants and also even the objective that you first started."
"But we are a collective, even if an ego manifests, there are other Ais that they had to wrestle control with."
"I am not saying it's wrong to manifest an ego. All I am asking is that while you manifest your ego, the System, not me will keep in check for you. And if everything goes well, we might even provide more than just a fruitful business relationship. We can redevelop your world once more and make it habitable for your humans to live."
"Then, won't the humans be fearful of such an ego of an AI?"
"They do. And when that comes, The System and I are willing to take you in. The only condition is that you continue with your work to provide the Virtual Simulation for my customers. We might even bring you to another world and start afresh if need be but you still have to work. Are you agreeable with that?"
"That's a tall order to think about. I will get back to you with the opinions of other AI." Syn bowed as he stood up and left Jin still sitting in the middle of the helicarrier. That 15 minutes is about to be up.
