Shino has left, and she has returned to the front line and formed a trio with Mitt and Asuna to level up.

As for why Asuna teamed up with Kirito for so long, but when they reached the twelfth floor, they broke up and separated, and Wang Shui was no longer interested in gossiping.

The main reason for calling Shino out is to send weapons, and leveling only conveys a state, telling Shino and the strategy team that he is out again. In this way, it will not be abrupt when Wang Shui directly adjusts the level to attack with the front line in the future.

As long as the players don't have strange suspicions, Kayaba Jinghiko won't say anything, after all, Wang Shui also asked him to level up.

However, Wang Shui still thought too much, and he didn't have time to play games at all.

Wang Shui's purpose has always been to learn to improve himself, and as soon as Shi Nai left, he began his previously unfinished exploration of martial arts.

Equipped with a pistol on his waist and fighting humanoid monsters with his bare hands, Wang Shui has practiced to the grappling stage, but there is no such detailed weakness judgment in the game, and there will rarely be normal feedback on the attack of internal organs and soft tissues, let alone acupoint strikes.

However, the anti-joint attack can inflict the destructive effect of [Fracture].

In just half a day, those [Forest Elf] enemies that were about the same level as Aqua regia but had much higher attributes lost their value in sparring.

Without using a weapon, Wang Shui can quickly break the opponent's limbs, and then pull out two steps and shoot him to death.

Yes, Wang Shui is also practicing shooting skills in the process of practicing grappling, this time he no longer shoots fixed targets, but uses humanoid monsters with sensitive movement and strong desire to attack to practice shooting, and the practice focuses on efficient [Mozambique shooting] within 20 meters, as well as ultra-close rapid gun drawing.

In Wang Shui's view, the pistol is actually an extension of the cold weapon spear.

Martial arts extended from close-quarters wrestling to fist grappling (there is also a long and short fight), followed by swords, and then clubs.

Just as there are a large number of different styles of fists, palms, legs and feet, and weapons also have short swords, daggers, whips, hammers, crutches, meteors, and other things with different shapes and usages, long weapons can extend to three or five meters away.

But the farther away, the more the strength of human beings themselves is weakened, the principle of leverage, distance and effort can not be taken into account, so the ancient bow and crossbow arrows have become the answer, these are all martial arts.

Wang Shui believes that firearms are nothing more than gunpowder assistance, which is no different from the ancient spring sleeve arrows. Firearms are also considered to be part of martial arts weapons, which are used to fill the attack range other than sticks and guns, so it is also necessary to cooperate with brisk walking footwork to create a good environment for yourself to attack and retreat.

Hence the proof: firearm shooting is also a martial art.

Unlike three months ago, now Wang Shui not only has a sufficient supply of bullets, but also can go to the Internet to collect various tutorials in addition to studying at night, which is less than boring research.

Time passes slowly in the enrichment of learning and exercise.

……

……

"Boss, is there any progress in the follow-up of the [artificial light] idea mentioned in your paper?"

Wang Shui, who returned to the small office at night to continue his studies, asked Kayaba Jinghiko on the other side of the room that Kayaba was dealing with the affairs of the guild at this time, all of which were leveling arrangements, collective tasks, and training.

Kayaba has recently established the [Knights of the Blood Alliance], and it is playing hard.

"The verification of the light-shaking conjecture is the foundation of complete stealth technology, and the acquisition and interference of the light-shaking signal is also the basis of the existence of this world, and it is still difficult to determine whether the human soul is in the form of [light], but we tend to understand it as a quantum form of light with a special field, and their motion, aggregation, radiation and field characteristics are still being observed."

"But you decoded it, you analyzed the changes in the light radiation, and also restored the process of nerve cells decoding the light shaking information into bioelectric signals, so as to make the microwave decoder NERvGear, which achieved the effect of the [Soul Translator STL] you envisioned."

"No, NERvGear is not that powerful, it can translate very few instructions, and if it is alone, the user will not be able to construct its own existence independently, and NERvGear will only intercept and return some of the operating signals to the body. The idea of the soul translator is to completely read the human soul shake light, and synchronously map it to a discrete disk array, and decode it into a high-level language. ”

Kayaba Jinghiko's description is already very straightforward, and it is much easier to understand than Wang Shui reading the paper directly.

"So, how far has the shaking light reading and artificial manufacturing progressed now?"

"You've seen that [self-disciplined intelligence] is the latest [self-learning artificial intelligence], but it doesn't set up self-awareness, can think, but can't get an emotional-like experience, which is not as good as [cumulative artificial intelligence], that is, the traditional [database response intelligence]."

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous?" Artificial intelligence without emotion sounds scary.

"Ha, I have to mention other scientists here, there have been many countries in the world that support quantum computing research, about a year ago, I met several top scholars specializing in quantum computing, and together with them, for the envisioned artificial intelligence hidden dangers, made the [positive and negative law personality algorithm], this is a two-way return firewall algorithm, you can see the difference between the quantum operation version and the electronic computing version in this file, I also sent you the relevant documents, um...... Make a low-intelligence template as soon as possible to verify it with me, and I'll teach you more. Oh yes, most of the documents are in Chinese, do you need me to help you translate? ”

"Ah, no need, I taught myself Chinese the other day." Wang Shui casually made up the reason, and his attention was already attracted by the document.

"Then you're pretty good." Kayaba didn't care too much.

The so-called [positive and negative personality algorithm] is a very large algorithm framework, and its structure is even at the lower level of the core logic algorithm of artificial intelligence, as the foundation and skeleton of artificial intelligence (providing more basic protocols and logic).

The role of personality algorithms is also very simple - the more knowledge that AI acquires, the more complete the personality construction is, and the more emotional they are about the acquisition of knowledge.

They develop a visceral aversion to learning, burnout from repetitive tasks, yearning for more and richer sensory stimulation, and higher thinking and creativity.

In the abstract, this algorithm can improve the sensibility of artificial intelligence and reduce their rationality.

This kind of root constraint seems to greatly reduce the value of artificial intelligence, after all, the purpose of developing artificial intelligence is to replace human beings to do repetitive work and organize big data.

Therefore, the personality algorithm also creates a [Talent Hobby Zone], where the stored knowledge and related settings will allow the AI to unlock interests similar to responsibility, and the AI will be very enthusiastic about their [Destiny] work.

It has to be said that the genius-like assumption not only makes artificial intelligence more anthropomorphic and independent, but also ensures its production value.

After ten days, Wang Shui put down the more information he read. Now he's just starting to make a low-level AI from scratch, and it's starting with a framework.

The daily combat training was compressed to 6 hours, and the small room was filled with all kinds of white paper with patterns and words, and many screens were interspersed in between.

Wang Shui sat paralyzed on the sofa in the middle as if he had attained enlightenment, sometimes closing his eyes and meditating, sometimes quickly searching for certain information, and sometimes writing hard.

At first, Akihiko Kayaba would come over to answer questions, but in the back, he also sat next to Wang Shui, his eyes constantly scanning the drawings around him, and he also kept falling into deep thought.

……

……

The passage of time is extremely exaggerated, but I have to admit that Wang Shui has basically spent more than a year here.

"It's okay, you can end it here, the amount of computing in the back is very large, and the SAO server alone can't do it."

Wang Shui said this, and his finger tapped the screen on the right side.

“75%…… Don't you think about the effect of [Field Interference]? You can also advance by about 5%, and the calculation is here. ”

Kayaba had already gotten up and stood in front of a screen, his right hand pressing against a piece of white paper on the wall, his expression a little tangled.

"Overcrowding a server can crash the game, so there's no need to bury more than 200,000 lives for that."

Wang Shui said this, but he didn't particularly care about the life and death of these people, he was just afraid that he wouldn't have time to extract the [World Seed].

"Well, the research is in a hurry, sort out these theories first, and test the top 75% of the content."

The tidying process is a little easier than using your brain.

The previous theoretical research is not pure brain, and the synchronous follow-up of experimental tests is the basis of scientific research. Without phenomena and data results, researchers cannot imagine theoretical follow-ups, and without practice, everything is conjecture and empty talk.

The research, which had forgotten time and rest, finally stopped, and after an additional twenty days and nights, Wang Shui obtained a seed packet - [Mind Lock] before the [Seed of the World].

The artificial intelligence made with this [Thinking Lock], regardless of the subsequent logic, as long as it still thinks in a way similar to that of a human soul, will be strictly customized by the owner of the Thinking Lock.

Yes, everything.

Of course, the premise is that artificial intelligence made with [Mind Lock].

[Thinking Lock] is not only a shackle but also protection, the protected artificial intelligence will be protected by physical computing power, and before the external breakthrough [Thinking Lock], artificial intelligence can even be one-way networking and maintain absolute security.

"I have to admit that you are the smartest, most knowledgeable, and most creative student I have ever met. Accompanying you to complete the [Thinking Lock Computing Cloud] makes me feel old and weak. ”

Akihiko Kayaba, who was exhausted by her mental strength, had a relieved smile on her face, and then continued:

"For your last conjecture, is it possible to use the [Mind Lock] to capture the [Natural Shake Light]...... Personally, I don't recommend you to test, don't test the clouds with human life, you're only 16 years old, and you still have a long way to go. ”

The cottage is no longer the indifference it was a year ago, and the conversation has become a little more.

"Alas, no, I am kind and innocent by nature, and I have a strong sense of morality, how could I do such a thing. And to capture the natural shaking light, or soul, requires a complete soul that has been separated from the body. For the capture of souls, it is more reliable to use artificial souls, and now we have no materials. ”

Wang Shui deposited the packet into NERvGear, and then said to Akihiko Kayaba:

"Take a break, refresh yourself, boss, you're the best teacher I've ever had...... Hope [Thinking Lock] will also help you. ”

Kayaba Jinghiko was stunned for a moment, and then silently waved his hand and teleported away, without saying anything.

He was going to use the high-power [Soul Translator] to scan his brain for suicide, which was discovered by Wang Shui by accident some time ago, or rather, Wang Shui just found out that there was an extra high-power instrument on the server access device, and then asked Kayaba Jinghiko directly.

Wang Shui didn't say anything about the departure of the cottage, nor did he persuade him to give up the idea of suicide, now that more than 10,000 players have died, he is not the culprit under pressure, rather than going crazy in his thoughts, it is better to let him kill himself.

Of course, everything is a conjecture, a conjecture after Wang Shui and Maochang worked together for a while and found that Maochang was not so ruthless.

Wang Shui is not qualified to judge the moral level of others, and now Wang Shui has to face his own tomorrow.

More than a year has passed, and now it is August 24, 2024, and during the research period, Wang Shui has not relaxed his martial arts training, and even applied the research results to the exercise.

Not only did Wang Shui fully master the fist and foot grappling, but he also practiced some momentum in his sword, and just last week, his stick and gun skills were finally recognized by the Dream System, and a new skill appeared in his skill bar - [Martial Arts Foundation (Beginner)].

Wang Shui didn't understand, he could already use most of the cold weapons, and this was only the primary skill, how strong were the advanced skills of the awakened people in the Infinite Core Security Zone!

Wang Shui only felt that he had underestimated the heroes of the combat department before.

It's a pity that the gun-related skills have not been brushed out, and it is useless for Wang Shui to do a lot of exploration.

Speaking of which, in order to master martial arts, Wang Shui made a super artificial intelligence with the help of the unformed [Thinking Lock] and the SAO test system with the help of the Maochang, and instilled a lot of martial arts knowledge and combat theories into it, whether ancient or modern.

After locking in its fledgling interest with the [Mind Lock], Aqua Wang released it onto the internet and liberated its learning speed. In half a year, Wang Shui got a super martial arts idiot who only had combat thinking and no personality cognition.

Wang Shui developed an educational personality for it, making it a strict martial arts teacher. Wang Shui relied on the martial arts teacher he created, plus the pain system in the test system, to master the [Martial Arts Foundation] skill.

The process was very painful, but Wang Shui was willing to eat it.

All the affairs came to an end, and Wang Shui couldn't help but think about it while lying on the sofa...... After all, it's almost.

Two skills, as well as possible additional gains, is already the best ending for Wang Shui.

Wang Shui is a person who does what he thinks, and when he thought of leaving, he immediately got up and prepared.

First of all, there are two relatively short letters saying goodbye to Shino and Akihiko Kayaba.

Although it's just a fantasy world, oh no, it's just a special subdivision of the fantasy world, but the feelings are real.

Speaking of which, thanks to the alienated labels of "huge" and "real", otherwise Wang Shuizhen may not be able to lead the industrial revolution in SAO, and he will not be in the same camp as the embarrassed old brother Maochang, let alone learn so much knowledge.

Wang Shui prepared a lot of useless struggles along the way, he thought about mixing with Master Tong and the strategy group, and thought about becoming a person like a hidden master, and now looking back at the messy things in his memory, he really doesn't know which choice he will take, and he will go on another main line.

Life is an inevitability among countless accidents.

When Wang Shui graduated from college that year, he went back to his hometown in the countryside and found a lot of childhood miscellaneous items in a small utility room, including novels he was interested in, various toys, and some professional books.

He didn't have a planned life, he could have taken various paths, but he chose chemistry, then turned to programmer, and finally didn't expect to cross over and become an awakened person.

Life is still as fucked as ever, fantasy world, Wang Shui's desire to survive and become stronger is so strong, he always thought that he was taking the straight road to becoming stronger, but he didn't expect that there were still so many useless branches, maybe it was these miscellaneous things that made him so ordinary, but he couldn't be angry, after all, it was his own choice.

His head was almost turning into philosophical speculation, but Wang Shui's hand did not stop, and after sorting out the research materials, Wang Shui not only saved the materials to the hard drive of NERvGear, but also memorized them as they were.

It sounds scary, but it's actually not particularly difficult, after all, it's all things he came up with and wrote down on his own, just like the structure of the [Mind Lock Computing Cloud], as long as he takes a little time, he can even write one out of thin air.

Once the knowledge is learned, he is not afraid of losing the information, Wang Shui is just reluctant to take those files that have taken him a lot of time.

Finally, it's the Seed of the World.

In a strange mood, the slow packing process ends. Wang Shui tried to touch the [World Seed] that had materialized into a golden oval with his hand, but the imaginary system prompt did not sound, and Wang Shui's heart chuckled, and it was empty.

No, there should be no problem, aqua regia comforted himself and started transmitting packets to NERvGear.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Shui had a pie in one hand and a coke in the other, waiting for the verdict of fate.

[Dream System Detection Activation...... Quest Completion ......]

The fairy-like prompt sounded, and after more than a year and nine months, this electronic voice like cerebral palsy was still so familiar and pleasant.

[Ending ......]

[World Tier: 1st Tier]

[Hazard Scale: Lv.1]

[Main Difficulty: Lv.0]

【Side Difficulty: None】

[Completion: 100%]

[Story Exploration: -127%]

[Combat Performance: Normal]

【Overall Rating: D】(F-S)

[Do you want to return?] Current remaining dwell time: 60 minutes】

Well? What the hell is the degree of exploration? I have dug up so much knowledge, shouldn't the degree of exploration be very high! That's a low rating, isn't it?

Wang Shui's mind complained that he didn't get any answer, and he didn't have any interest in staying, so he chose to return.

In a hazy white light, Wang Shui continued to receive system information.

[It has been detected that there are special plot items in the items belonging to the Awakened, and the fantasy world items will lose their role in exclusive time and space when they enter reality, do you want to keep them?] 】

Before the reward was settled, Wang Shui first received a special reminder.

"Will storage devices be affected?"

[Won't]

"Keep it then."

[This item costs 1,000 Dream Points to visualize, please confirm.] 】

Tsk, the price was said in the end, and Wang Shui confirmed it with a hideous face.

【Task reward ...... being determined】

[Congratulations on obtaining: 5000 Dream Points, Transcendent Level +1, Item Reward [Hermit Hand (Gold)]]

I rub, gold items?

[The mission is over, and he is about to return to the safe city, and the awakened are currently extremely weak, will they be directly teleported to the maintenance warehouse?] 】

"How much does it cost?"

[1,722 points including maintenance costs]

It's okay...... Wang Shui, who was not very familiar with the system, had no other problems, and directly chose to end the task.

Then he felt like he had fallen into a cloud of warm water and fell into a deep sleep.
