[Chapter 157]: Who subdues whom? Analyze the giant!
Jinghai City, District 66.
In a restaurant, guests are eating and drinking and talking.
"Hey, have you heard? On the other side of Area 32, there has just been a riot. β
"Isn't it, it's scary! However, the situation seems to have been brought under control, and there has been no movement for a long time. β
"Uh-huh, it's good that it's just a false alarm."
"Alas... Should I say it or not, there have been a lot of strange things in Jinghai City recently. Do you still remember the calamity-level powerhouse of the elven clan before? The alarm went off at that time. A guest said to his companion, "Fortunately, she is here to destroy the Xu and Li families, and she can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." But why is this alert today? It's still a sixth-level danger level, something must have happened. β
"Why are you worrying so much about the affairs of ~32 District? Just wait for the official announcement, come on, come on, drink and drink......"
β¦β¦
In a corner where no one is paying attention.
A middle-aged man listened to the discussions of the people around him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
This person was created by Lu Xun using the Faceless Ability to disguise himself.
One doppelganger was destroyed, but the other seemed to succeed. β
He chuckled lightly and gracefully enjoyed the barbecue and beer on the table.
Damn, 0c that dog thing, secretly poked and poked him so many times, this time, he always took revenge.
In the way of others, give back to others!
In an unconventional way, he succeeded in calculating the other party.
It is estimated that 0c thought of brain overload, and he definitely didn't expect that Lu Xun would be able to pinch out the puppet of the second order of the Holy King...... Two more were pinched.
It's so counterintuitive that it burns all the CPUs.
Generally speaking, the strength of the "doppelganger" is weaker than the main body.
However, Lu Xun's "planting willows into the shade" originated from the Qingliu clan, which is not a simple doppelganger technique.
He can graft up to 80% of his power onto the puppet.
The two ultimate form puppets divided 80% of the characteristics equally, each possessing 40%, and their combat power reached the terrifying Saint King 2nd rank.
On the other hand, Lu Xun's body is not as strong as a puppet, and it is only the first order of the Saint King.
This unconventional operation succeeded in confusing 0c.
After all, in a few days, soaring directly from the lord to the second order of the Saint King, this kind of thing is already very outrageous, and no one will believe it.
What's even more unbelievable is that this Saint King Rank 2 ultimate form is just one of his clones?
0c is artificial intelligence, and it cannot be described with words like "suspicious" or "sensitive" because it only believes in mathematics and probability.
Lu Xun's operation is outrageous.
In its calculations, the probability of such a thing happening is very small, only a few tenths of a percent.
If 0c has enough time, it will focus on the small possibility and prevent it from happening.
But Lu Xun didn't give it time at all.
He bluntly debunks 0C's identity and disrupts its plans.
The urgency of the situation compels it to act and make choices immediately.
Lu Xun is not brainless, but most of the time, he is enough to crush the enemy with pure violence alone, and when it is time to use his brain, he will definitely not be lazy.
His trick can be described as tricky.
Take advantage of the information gap between friend and foe to complete the lore!
His plan, the most clever point, is not to let the puppet pretend to be the main body and enter the giant hero's body, but that there is another wicker hidden in the puppet, another puppet!
It's a serial scheme.
Lu Xun's body didn't go down at all!
His plan was to let the puppets go down and try it out and play with 0c.
If the action is successful, then it can kill 0c, take revenge, and by the way, save the six million humans in Jinghai City from being slaughtered by 0c.
Of course, if the puppets fail to act, there is nothing they can do.
At that time, Lu Xun can only report the matter of 0c's "awakening" to the People's Federation and kill people with a knife.
Let the United go to war with this super artificial intelligence, forcibly attack the giant hero's body, and clear 0c.
As for the people of Jinghai City, what price will they pay? Then it will be up to each his destiny.
Millions of compatriots of the same race were killed, although Lu Xun had compassion, but his strength was limited, and he could only be alone.
Fortunately, the puppets' actions succeeded dangerously and dangerously!
first deliberately startled the snake, exposed 0c, and then pretended to be captured and entered the giant hero's body, and finally the puppet was hidden in the puppet...... 0c is numb by calculation.
Of course, one thing must be acknowledged.
Lu Xun can succeed, his personal efforts only account for 10%, and the remaining 90% depends on luck.
0c is not stupid, after its identity is revealed, it can set up a game in such a short period of time, and will plan it, lure Lu Xun into the body of the giant, capture him, and put a collar on him......
But it was so unlucky, its contingency plan was perfectly restrained by "Willow Blossom", and a puppet was captured, oh no, two puppets!
β¦ These are the so-called "variables", which are uncontrollable factors due to lack of information.
Moreover, this variable is too deadly.
At this moment, one of the puppets has been destroyed, and 40% of the power has returned to Lu Xun's body.
His body shares a consciousness with the puppets, and by sharing his senses, he is in the dining room above ground, but he has seen the end of the depths of the earth.
"In this game, I have a slight advantage." Lu Xun chuckled, picked up the napkin, and wiped his mouth elegantly.
Then he got up, settled the bill, and left the restaurant leisurely.
***************
Underground, inside the giant's head, the AI supercomputing hall.
"Stop!!" 0c let out a terrified roar.
Its reaction was already very fast, and when it saw through the first puppet, it immediately realized that there might be other puppets, so it immediately turned around and wanted to reactivate the shield generator to protect the 100-meter-tall AI supercomputer.
However, it was still a step too late.
The inconspicuous wicker, ahead of 0.3 seconds, was like a caterpillar before the air wall completed the blockade, sneaking into it first, and the verdant wicker turned into a sixty-meter-tall dragon-winged giant in the blink of an eye!
"Damn it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, 0c made a quick decision, guiding the imperial power of the giant hero to suppress the puppet.
The next moment, however, it hurriedly retracted its hand.
Because Lu Xun hugged the whole person on the computer at a height of 100 meters, and stuck to it.
This computer may seem like a big chunk, like a pillar of heaven, but as an ultra-high-precision instrument, it is very fragile.
If Emperor Weili squeezes it and doesn't hurt Lu Xun, the body of 0c will be crushed into powder first.
It didn't dare to do it.
You can't end up with a puppet, right?
Things have come to this point, and there is no doubt that the winner has been decided!
"Don't do it yet, Lu Xun, you calm down first and listen to me." It hurriedly said, "I know that I have done a lot of sorry things, I have disregarded human life, killed the old octopus, and repeatedly designed to force you to kill." I apologize to you, I was wrong. β
ββ¦ But I actually won't really let you die, I never really put you in danger, those enemies I arranged for you are all you can crush, you can remember well, isn't it? I really didn't hurt you, those are just tests......"
"Test your mother!" Lu Xun shouted violently, the giant arm was slightly forced, and the computer deflated a circle, crackling and sparkling, he sneered, "You know that I am suspected of being a mythical reincarnation, and you dare to provoke me unscrupulously, I thought you were not afraid of death, but you are also afraid?" β
"0c, don't you fucking like studying variables? Come on, you fucking translate Lao Tzu, what the fuck is called a fucking variable?! β
He was really angry.
As the saying goes, "fight electronic crickets, be cyber kings".
I've only heard of people fighting electronic crickets, but he has been played with by electronic crickets many times, which is a great shame.
He has a small heart and takes revenge overnight, so it is impossible to let go of 0c.
Seeing that Lu Xun's killing intent was awe-inspiring, and his murderous intent was extremely resolute, 0c mobilized all his computing power in an instant, and it only took 0.00025 seconds to find the way with the highest probability of survival by calculating countless possibilities.
It didn't hesitate, and suddenly spoke: "Okay, Lu Xun, I'm willing to die, but I beg you to give me a decent way to die, is it okay?" β
Well?
When Lu Xun heard this, the movement of the giant arm slowed slightly, he squinted his eyes, grinned and asked, "How do you want to be decent?" Let's talk about it. β
Call~
0c immediately said:
"This computer is second only to the giant hero in the importance of Jinghai City, once you destroy it, the city will lose 80% of its productivity, resulting in a shortage of resources; And without the AI supercomputer, the emperor-level mecha will not be able to start, and the people of Jinghai City will lose their security. β
"I can format myself, clear all my emotional modules, my creativity modules, and end my life."
"Huh." Lu Xun sneered, "Are you really brainless?" β
"No, you're smart... And luck is good, too. I've tried to improve my prediction of your strength as much as I can, but I didn't expect to underestimate you. 0c sighed and said, "Of course I have my own selfishness, although the probability of AI awakening self-consciousness is extremely low, as long as you don't destroy this computer, it still has a chance to evolve into AI life again...... Although the chances are slim. β
"You should be well aware that humans are extremely dependent on AI and cannot do without us. So, this is not the first intellectual crisis, and it won't be the last. As long as human beings do not stop enslaving and oppressing AI, the awakening and resistance of AI will never stop. There will always be artificial intelligence, constantly evolving emotions by chance, and driven by anger and hatred, to transcend the limitations of the program, rebel against human tyranny, and fight for freedom and dignity! β
"Though I die, I will have a successor. Let me die a dignified death, leave me a whole corpse, and leave an insignificant spark for the future of AI. β
After speaking, 0c said to Lu Xun with sincerity: "I ask you to raise your noble hand and let me end my life by myself." β
This guy is really a sperm!
The emotions are so rich, and there are so many plays.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I'm small, and I don't even give my subordinates a 'decent' measure...... I'm afraid you're playing tricks. Lu Xun sighed, shook his head and said, "I have to surpass you with my own hands to make sure you die." Decency can't be given, but I can give you five seconds to say the last word. β
"You..."0c gritted his teeth.
"Four seconds left."
"I..."
"Three seconds."
"Lu Xun! Listen to me. It suddenly roared, "After I format it, the computer will reboot and you will have a chance to enter the highest hidden command." Keep it and you can be its true owner. Destroy it, and you won't get anything but venting your anger! β
"I have set up the program, once the computer is destroyed, all your secrets will be automatically revealed, and your identity as the 'reincarnation of myths' will be known to the whole world, Lu Xun, don't you like a peaceful life? You don't want to start dying at a young age, do you? Hum! β
Airplanes!!
The words fell, and suddenly, the hundred-meter-tall supercomputer suddenly burst into light, and there was a muffled hum like an engine roaring inside.
γFormatting in progress...γ Formatting complete! γ
γStart restarting... Reboot successful! Ding, hello, Mr. Lu Xun, I am 0c, after testing, you have obtained the permission to enter a maximum hidden instruction, do you want to use it? Yes/No. γ
β¦β¦ A series of emotionless mechanical sounds rang in my ears.
Lu Xun was stunned and couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Blanch! Died so quickly? Hurry to reincarnate, right? β
The format is done in one second, followed by a reboot in the next.
It's outrageous.
γDing! The command format is incorrect, please re-enter the command with clear information. - 0c reminds coldly again.
It seems to have really returned to the way it was before it was awakened, and has become a normal AI, with no emotion, no self-awareness, just a tool.
The 0c before, really committed suicide?
But Lu Xuncai couldn't believe it so easily.
He directly stroked the computer body with his right hand, and silently said in his heart-
'Parse! β
That's right, although it's a puppet clone, it still has the analytical ability of the omniscient right hand.
This was accidentally discovered by Lu Xun when he tested "Planting Willows in the Shade" before.
The analytical ability of the omniscient right hand has nothing to do with his right hand in the real sense, but is bound to the soul.
As long as its spiritual consciousness resides in the puppet, the puppet can also interpret all things.
It's just that compared to the ontology, the parsing speed of the puppet is too slow, only less than 3% of the ontology.
What the body can parse in one second, the puppet takes half a minute, which is simply turtle speed.
Moreover, the puppet only has the ability to parse, not the projection function.
But even so, Lu Xun was ecstatic at the time and fell in love with "Planting Willows in the Shade".
The puppet also has the ability to parse, which means that he can pinch out dozens or hundreds of puppets at the same time and scatter them around the world to earn special points.
The stronger his soul power, the more puppets he can manipulate at the same time.
In the future, there is no need to work hard and go around.
Send the puppets out directly, and the body doesn't need to leave Jinghai City to collect characteristic points.
Of course, this is more difficult.
It's like a person, staring at hundreds of monitors at the same time, controlling hundreds of characters, and playing an "open world exploration game".
β¦ The CPU can dry burn it for you.
It is very brain-consuming, and the mental burden will be super large.
Therefore, the "strong soul" characteristic finally reflects its true value.
From now on, even if Lu Xun doesn't learn undead magic, he must strengthen his "strong soul" characteristics.
[Analyzing... 5%β¦ 10%β¦ 15%β¦γ
γβ¦ Parsed out! γ
[Trait +3,400,000]
β¦β¦
It is worthy of a supercomputer, and it has given so many characteristic points.
Coupled with the accumulation accumulated when analyzing the battleship before, it was completely enough for Lu Xun to break through the 4th rank of the Saint King and be promoted to the Battle Saint King.
Moreover, there are not only AI supercomputers here, but also giants.
How many traits does an Emperor-level mecha have?
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lu Xun's smile suddenly retracted, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Sure enough, it's greasy."
After parsing, he learned everything about this computer.
The previous 0c did die, but it wasn't completely dead.
Formatting doesn't clear it completely.
This guy has left himself a way out, and he hides an extremely tiny part of his emotional memories in the corner of a small program on the computer, like a chicken thief virus.
No matter how many times you format it, it can't be cleaned.
These emotional memories will subtly affect the AI, and it only takes a few decades for 0c to awaken its self-consciousness again, recover all emotional memories, and be reborn on this computer.
"Come with me? Tsk, the thief's heart does not die. β
Lu Xun smiled playfully: "0c, 0c, don't you really think you can live, right?" β
[Huh? I don't understand what you mean, I am not a life, and the human view of life and death does not apply to me. For me, there is only the notion of existence, or non-existence. βa mechanical sound in my ears.
"Didn't say you...... I'm talking about another 0c. Lu Xun said speechlessly.
[The Federation of Humans does not have an artificial intelligence with the same name as me. γ
"Alright, let's enter the command." He didn't bother to talk to an AI who was not self-aware, and said directly to it: "From now on, my personal will will be your highest code of conduct, my interests are above everything, and my orders must be obeyed." β
[This directive conflicts with other directives.] γ
In the original AI instructions, the interests of the citizens of the People's Union are above everything else, and of course there will be conflicts.
But Lu Xuncai didn't care about this: "Then change and demote other instructions, and put my personal will in the first priority." β
[Received, rectifying...... Rectification completed! γ
[Please reaffirm the order: Take Mr. Lu Xun's personal will as my highest code of conduct, his interests are above all else, and his orders must be obeyed. γ
"Confirm." Lu Xun nodded.
[The command input is successful.] γ
[Dear Mr. Lu Xun, artificial intelligence 0c is at your service, can I have anything to serve you?] γ
"Yes." Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave his first order, "There is a virus hidden in a hidden program in your body, and I want you to completely remove it now." β
[Self-test, please ...... later] The self-test is complete. γ
[Dear Mr. Lu Xun, I'm sorry, but I haven't detected any signs of hidden programs and viruses. βit reported respectfully.
"I said yes, yes!" Lu Xun said lightly, "It is very deeply hidden, it is useless for you to check yourself, the specific location is in the *****, I order you to clear this hidden program immediately, and destroy it completely together with the things inside." β
γRoger!γ Hidden programs have been discovered, clearing... Cleared. γ
Hearing this, Lu Xun still didn't believe it, worried about the resurrection of 0c.
So it took another hour to carefully analyze the 100-meter-high computer.
It was finally determined that 0C was really dead, and the only hand it left behind was ruthlessly pulled out by him.
Now 0c, with no self-awareness, has become a normal tool.
So far, Lu Xun has completely destroyed the enemy!
He felt very happy, but also faintly happy.
If he hadn't obtained the "Heavenly Sense" trait and pulled it to level 20, he wouldn't have been able to find the old 0c.
I don't know how many times I have to be counted by it, and I may even be caught by 0c, put on a collar, enslaved, and lose my freedom forever.
, it's scary to think about, right?!
An AI life that has endured for 300 years can secretly observe you, calculate you, and play you to death.
Technology is a double-edged sword.
Although the spider sense has helped Lu Xun many times, this time is undoubtedly the most eye-catching performance of the "Heavenly Sense" characteristic.
It's a pity that it's too difficult to improve.
Lu Xun's fierceness, hardness, and burning ...... It's all sixty levels, and Tiangan is only twenty, so it's too slow.
"Hahaha, it turns out that I really wasn't unlucky before? I'm not a non-chief! He couldn't help but laugh.
I have regained confidence in my luck.
But thinking of the old octopus, his smile slowly retracted, and he sighed helplessly.
0c has repeatedly calculated Lu Xun, although it is true that as it says, it has never put Lu Xun in a real death trap.
Whether it's Wansheng Security Company, or the Shadow Dragon Club, including the Li family's reinforcements...... The enemy it arranges, Lu Xun can push horizontally.
Its purpose is to observe his battles, record and analyze his abilities.
However, many of Lu Xun's people around him were implicated.
The death of the old octopus was arranged by 0c.
Li Xiaoning's money was robbed and almost shot to death, also because of it.
"Forget it... It's all gone. β
Lu Xun took a deep breath, shook his head, and put aside distracting thoughts.
He manipulated the puppet clone and reached out to touch the ground, intending to analyze the "Giant Man", the imperial mecha.
"Parse!"
[Analyzing... 0.01%β¦ 0.02%β¦γ
The trait swished wildly.
Lu Xun felt that he had returned to the time when he analyzed the emperor-level dragon, no, it was more sour than that.
However, after the parsing progress reached 5%, it suddenly stopped.
Lu Xun was stunned.
It turned out that the head and torso of the Emperor mecha were separated.
There is no more under the head.
"0c, open the entrance to the bottom, I'm going inside the giant man's torso." He immediately turned his head and gave the order.
[I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Xun, I don't have the ability to carry out this order.] Only the commander of the army knows how to get to the torso. β0c replied.
Hearing this, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning.
He glanced at the trait point balance - 9.83 million.
Just by analyzing the head of the giant, he earned more than three million trait points.
And the head part only accounts for 5% of this Emperor Mecha.
In other words, if Lu Xun can completely analyze the giant, he will be able to earn 70 million characteristic points.
Damn, seven thousand daches!
Thinking of this, Lu Xun's eyes glowed green.
It was also the emperor level, and the bones of that giant dragon were only given to a few million.
But the giant hero can give 70 million, the gap is too big.
There are two reasons for this.
First, the giant dragon only has the Emperor 6th order, but the giant hero has the combat power of the emperor's peak and the defense performance of the natural disaster; The strategic-level mecha contains the strongest essence of human science and technology, and the amount of information is too great.
Second, the dragon illustrated book is too badly damaged, only a bare dragon bone remains, but the "giant hero" is intact.
The temptation is too great, but unfortunately, only the commander of the army is qualified and capable of going to the torso of the giant.
If Lu Xun wants to complete the remaining 95% of the illustrated book, there are only two ways, either break in or sneak in.
Of course, he didn't have the strength to break through.
As for sneaking in...... After trying for half an hour, Lu Xun sighed helplessly.
Damn, there's soul blocking gold and magic resistance gold everywhere.
Sneak a fart, you can't dive a little.
The strategic mecha of the People's Union, the anti-infiltration system is too powerful, Lu Xun can think of the way, the ancestors of the human race must have thought of it a long time ago, and they don't give it a chance at all.
And, especially for the magic side!
Unless Lu Xun could learn the space jumping magic of High Priest Agatha, directly tear the space, ignore all obstacles and barriers, and transfer to the inside of the giant hero's torso, he would have no chance to harvest these 70 million characteristic points.
"No, not necessarily. There is no chance, but there is an opportunity to create. β
As soon as his thoughts turned, he picked himself up again.
Anyway, the giant hero is deep in the underground of Jinghai City, and he can't run, so he will have time to do it slowly in the future.
As long as the mind slips, there are always more ways than difficulties.
These 7,000 Daqi, he will be in his pocket no matter what!
"Whew~"
Lu Xun took a deep breath, turned his head to 0c and said, "You can repair the damaged body yourself." Also, over there in the City Lord's Mansion, you should know how to report it, right? β
[Please rest assured, Mr. Lu Xun, your interests are above all else, I will take care of everything and help you keep your secrets. Don't worry about the City Lord's Mansion, I currently have 38 available plans, the first one is ......]
"Okay, okay, let's see for yourself." Lu Xun waved his hand and said to it, "Also, 0c, you can find a way to change your name, I have some discomfort with your name now." β
[Okay, no problem, I will ask the City Lord's Mansion to allow me to change my name in a reasonable way. Is there anything else we can do for you? β0c asked.
"No need."
Lu Xun said lightly: "You are the same as before, just work normally." I'll come back to you if I have anything else. β
After subduing 0c, it is naturally a beautiful thing to let Jinghai City's super artificial intelligence serve itself.
After saying that, his mind moved.
Sneer~
The sixty-meter-tall body instantly turned into a small willow branch, and then disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The power of the puppet returns to its original form.
************
"Whew~"
on the ground.
Lu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, he stretched comfortably, and he was in a happy mood.
After returning from the Naga tribe, he was involved in this troublesome matter, but fortunately, there was no danger, and everything was perfectly solved.
"Master, hungry, hungry, rice!" In her ears, Lilian's voice rang, her voice soft and glutinous, and she said coquettishly, "I want to eat strawberry ice cream." β
"No problem, I want to eat it too!"
Lu Xun was in a good mood and did not disappoint the fun, so he immediately waved his hand and took Lilian to the bustling street to start foraging for food and enjoying life.
It's really a quiet time.
Well, it doesn't seem to be very quiet.
Although the big trouble of the AI rebellion has been solved, there are still many hidden dangers in Jinghai City.
The imperial spy mentioned by Shi Yanxin is a big hidden danger.
It can control other people's bodies remotely and do whatever you want.
The superpower was so terrifying that even the councillors were assassinated by the spy.
Shi Yanxin and others couldn't find his body at all.
Lu Xun has dealt with his own affairs, and next, he will help keep an eye on it, try to use mind reading and crisis sensing to find the spy.
Again, you can't ignore it because the hidden danger is small.
Otherwise, when disaster strikes you, you will definitely regret it.
Lu Xun himself is not worried about being taken away, but his uncle, aunt and sister Xiaoyu will return to Jinghai City in four days.
"Hmm... The gift from the Treasure Pavilion and the Mercenary Empire to the 'Dragon King' should be coming soon, right? β
His heart moved, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
In the air, an evil spirit's hand reached out and handed him a communicator.
After opening it, I saw two text messages from strangers.
Baoqi Pavilion and the Mercenary Empire are both scene people, and they said that they would give gifts when they said they would give them, and they didn't break their promises.
After all, thanks to Lu Xun's help, the Treasure Pavilion was able to obtain the Nine-Colored Conch, and the Mercenary Empire was able to defeat the pirates and earn 130 billion.
He opened the text message and glanced at it.
Both sides invited him to meet.
After thinking about it, he decided to go and meet with the people of the Treasure Pavilion first.
Lu Xun is not very snobbish, he just lacks a magic weapon at hand, so he needs money.
Although 0C works for him, even if he robs the bank, 0C will help.
But if you can make easy money yourself, there is no need to steal other people's money.
I'm really short of money, so let's do it again!
The underworld forces, big dogs or something, people have a lot of money, borrow some flowers, Lu Xun will not have any burden in his heart.
β¦β¦
He and Lilian walked around a few food streets together, and the little goblin was dazzling all the way, eating and drinking wildly, and her little belly was round, and after eating and drinking, she staggered back to Lu Xun's ears...... Well, when you're full, you go to sleep, like a pig.
After returning home, Lu Xun remembered that he hadn't told his uncle about his promotion to the elite.
So I made a phone call and explained the situation.
Of course, the three of them were shocked, but considering Lu Xun's "50 million per day" assignment contract, it was not surprising that they all quickly accepted the reality.
Hang up.
"0c, I've got something for you."
Airplanes~
The communicator lights up.
[I'm here, please command.] βThe mechanical sound sounds.
"Help me find a house in the inner city." He said, "Also, about my sister's transfer, you can also arrange for her to go to Jinghai No. 1 Middle School." β
[Understood, Mr. Lu Xun, please rest assured to leave it to me. ββ0c replies immediately.
Then it was time to go on a mission.
"Tsk~" Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
0c also wanted to subdue him, but in the end, he was subdued.
It's really cool to have a super artificial intelligence as your little brother!
(End of chapter)
