The capital of Lebanon, Beirut.

Covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers, this country is geographically located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Syria to the east and north and Israel to the south.

Due to its unique geographical location, Lebanon has always been a country known for its chaos.

Even now, when TPC has unified the world on the surface, this country dominated by A-(forbidden words) and La (forbidden words) and mixed with various complex beliefs is still so chaotic.

However, chaos also has the benefit of chaos.

Due to the complexity of the laws and beliefs here, the black market here is also unforbidden.

Here, as long as you pay for it, you can get anything.

The reason why Lu Xuan chose to build the headquarters of Gaia Company here in the first place.

Considering the complexity here, it can almost be said that it has evaded the regulation of the TPC from another level.

It's a pity that Lu Xuan's original decision was so wise, and how distressed he is now.

Since entering Beirut, Lu Xuan has been stopped by guards with guns more than once for review.

At the same time, Beirut looks very different now than it did then.

The high-rise buildings and neon-lit billboards are full of cyberpunk flavors.

Especially the sneaky street merchants on the corner of the street reminded Lu Xuan of the chaos here all the time.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been really hard for Lu Xuan to imagine that this would actually be the scene that a modern country should have.

What really shocked Lu Xuan was that he even saw traces of mechanization on some people.

- That's definitely not the technology that Earth can have right now.

"Am I traveling to some cyberpunk world?"

After the wordless shock, Lu Xuan immediately asked as if he realized something.

"Tomoko, you did all this!?"

It was obviously a questioning sentence, but Lu Xuan was more shocked and affirmed when he said this.

Lu Xuan didn't believe that the Tiga World would have a second traverser who could affect the world without his knowledge.

Then after ruling out the impossibility of everything, the remaining answer is the correct answer, no matter how incredible it is.

Besides, apart from Tomoko, he couldn't think of anyone else who could build such a cyberpunk country in just two years.

"According to the instructions you gave me, I can exert my influence on this world without violating the underlying regulations."

"Life will disappear, and the individual will perish."

"A super-ancient civilization as strong as 30 million years ago cannot escape this criterion."

"But the traces they left behind in this world will continue to affect humanity 30 million years later."

"I'm not sure how long I'll be able to last, but I want to see what kind of traces I can leave on the world."

Unlike in the past, Zhizi did not directly answer Lu Xuan's question this time, but replied in a tone that only intelligent beings can have.

Although from Lu Xuan's point of view, this sounds more like a quibble.

"Tomoko, I don't mean to blame you."

This was the first time Lu Xuan heard Tomoko's heart, and it was also the first time he realized his negligence.

"I just want to know what's going on here."

There was a faint relief in the soft voice.

Lu Xuan is like a parent who sees his child grow up, and he is more curious and happy than shocked.

As the existence that has been with you for the longest time in this world.

In Lu Xuan's mind, Zhizi has long ceased to be a simple artificial intelligence.

To put it mildly, with Lu Xuan's originally somewhat antisocial character, the existence of Zhizi is estimated to be a little more important than the human beings of the entire earth combined.

Partners, friends, relatives, family members......

Jumping out of the meanings that can be explained by these nouns, just like Lu Xuan's image in Zhizi's eyes, Zhizi must also be the most important existence in Lu Xuan's mind.

“BOSS……”

After a rare pause, Tomoko began to gradually talk about the "social experiments" she had conducted earlier.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Back in mid-August 2005.

That was when Lu Xuan planned to join forces with Sedic to establish Gaia Company.

At that time, Tomoko had already become a real strong artificial intelligence, not only with super computing power and intelligence, but also began to sprout feelings like creatures.

It's just that ordinary intelligent creatures have feelings first, and then slowly learn and grow.

But Tomoko is the opposite, she has mastered a level of knowledge far beyond that of human civilization before she has feelings.

Except for her master, Lu Xuan, no one on this planet knows better than Zhizi where the limits of wisdom and civilization are.

So, when a near-omniscient "god" has feelings, what does He do first?

Zhizi, who gives full play to her own subjective initiative, tells the world with her own behavior that she wants to leave her own traces in this world.

See through life and death, and look down on life.

The only thing that Zhizi can't see through is the choice of life and the evolution of civilization - the kind of thing that Lu Xuan calls a "miracle".

It just so happened that Lu Xuan completely handed over the affairs of Gaia Company to Zhizi at this time.

She decided to use this "tool" to achieve her first step in witnessing miracles.

First of all, it is certain that although Lebanon has received technical assistance from the TPC, the country's basic energy problems are no longer a problem.

However, it is never just energy that an entire country needs to solve.

Especially in a country like Lebanon, which is geographically extremely complex, there are many other factors, such as religious beliefs, policy tendencies, industrial level, and even tourism diplomacy.

The huge gap between the rich and the poor, coupled with the interference of external forces.

As a result, it has not only the most advanced technology and products, but also the poorest and most sinister people.

Secondly, the complex situation has led to the emergence of black marketeers in Lebanon, and all kinds of illegal activities do not lack the basis and soil for survival.

So with the help of the "pry bar" of the Gaia company.

Tomoko has set off a "social experiment" in Lebanon that is destined to have far-reaching consequences.

With cheap weapons and bio-modification technology, the poor and lowly vent their inner anguish and ambitions.

The rich and noble, with their abundant financial resources and the protection of the law, enjoy their lives in luxury.

In a sense, the company has become the real dominant player in the country, and has miraculously evaded TPC regulation.
