Chapter 29: What Does It Mean When the National Football Team Wins the Championship?

Page (1/3)

When does the Fourth War start: "Damn, went to Europe for the Olympics, went missing after landing, and was confirmed dead shortly after! The whole thing reeks of a massive conspiracy. I still think someone must have realized they couldn't defeat him, so they killed him! The 37th Olympic Games were dubbed the 'Dishonorable Olympics' because of this. The track and field champion of those games even refused to accept the medal! How dare they? He was the light of the world, the very limit of what humanity could achieve!"

Chu Zhu fell into deep thought. It was also the year 2050... Wait, that name, the Fourth War... Wasn't that where he died in 2053 during the Fourth something-or-other?

Huh? Chu Zhu snapped to his senses. He realized something terrifying. He scrolled rapidly; high-intensity praise like "God," "Max-level human," and "Greatness needs no words" flooded the comments.

However, Chu Zhu was more concerned with the timestamps of the comments.

"...As I thought!" Chu Zhu exhaled a long breath. The latest comment was from December 27, 2050.

There were no messages from 2051!

"If the Nuwa-17 database wasn't intentionally tampered with, then the internet went down at some indefinite point after 2050. And as for when it was restored... that's hard to say!"

Chu Zhu was silent for a long time. "The internet... can it actually be shut down?"

Especially when connecting this to the near-certain fact that artificial intelligence capabilities had been forcibly regressed to a 'mentally disabled' level.

"No, these two things might not have happened at the same time!"

Chu Zhu pondered repeatedly, but couldn't make sense of it.

"Damn! This is maddening." After sighing twice, he felt he should ask about business. He composed himself and said solemnly, "Nuwa-17, please look up the lottery results, specifically the time is..."

"Oh, right, besides that, tell me which stocks took off during this period... forget it, just perform a deep-dive analysis. Tell me, if I have ten thousand in cash, which stocks should I buy in the coming months, and when should I buy and sell to maximize profit? Be as conservative as possible to prevent a 'butterfly effect' where my purchases end up getting me trapped. You understand what I mean, right?"

Chu Zhu had used AI many times in the real world, so he knew that when dealing with this stuff, you have to be as detailed as possible! And even then, you should only trust the final answer about fifty percent—if you trust it one hundred percent, you'll be dead before you even know how it happened.

Soon, a long string of responses appeared.

Chu Zhu noted down the stock codes, names, and the buy/sell dates one by one.

"Okay, that's done." Chu Zhu patted his cheeks. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Nuwa-17, the alarm went off when I entered earlier. I assume this alert wasn't sent to Li Kang? If it was, do you have any good ideas on how I can cover up the fact that you triggered an alarm?"

"Initiating database retrieval. Answer obtained: Information transmission was synchronized... Deep analysis: Parsing provided, no further action required... When the alarm was output, Li Kang's terminal simultaneously issued an alert for a different location; the two are easily confused. Since the base alarm duration is extremely short, the probability of Li Kang discovering the issue is only one percent! If you wish to conceal this matter entirely, I suggest using permanent authorization to delete the backend logs."

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Chu Zhu nodded quickly, letting out a long sigh of relief. As long as it could be deleted, it was fine. "Delete it!"

"Please perform real-name authentication."

Chu Zhu: "...Huh?!"

His expression stiffened. You've got to be kidding me? In this day and age, they're still playing this game...

What followed was an excruciatingly tedious five minutes! The only thing to be thankful for was that Nuwa-17 was at least somewhat reliable—it didn't make him receive a verification code on a mobile phone!

If Nuwa-17 had actually sent one, he wouldn't even know where to pull a phone from!

After confirming the deletion, Chu Zhu thought of something else. "Also, when Li Kang completes his mission and is preparing to return... remind me when he is ten minutes away from the base."

"Alarm set!"

"What else is there?" Chu Zhu blinked and asked, "Nuwa-17, send me all the news broadcasts from the time period I mentioned."

Chu Zhu was certain that once he finished reading this content, he would have a relatively clear understanding of the major economic and political events of the future.

Then...

Nuwa-17 output only a few words before retreating back to its busy state.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Fine, the AI was as afraid of touching politics as ever.

It didn't matter...

"Excluding the parts you can't talk about, summarize the major events as much as possible!"

Chu Zhu rubbed his hands in anticipation, and then...

"??? [Name] passed away? This is a major event... no, what does a foreign celebrity dying have to do with me? Why specifically emphasize that they died from a suspected long-term vegetarian diet? That's not important at all!"

"?? [Name] was born. His birth is... uh, this must be a top-tier bigwig of the future, right? Nuwa-17, report his life story to me... What the hell, why did you retract it again? Wait, could this be a major political figure..."

"What on earth, what do you mean 'Hunter x Hunter' has ended?"

"No... what do you mean the national football team won the championship?"

"An earthquake on the moon... what? The moon can have earthquakes too! Wait, why is a moonquake being reported? Tell me about an earthquake on Earth, that would be more reliable than this! Tell me, does anything on the moon have any significance to me!"

The anticipation on Chu Zhu's face gradually froze as he continued to watch.

It had to be said that Nuwa-17's underlying database was even more sensitive than the AI currently in use in the real world. The number of forbidden words was almost absurd...

It retracted messages at the slightest provocation!

Even earthquake reports... because they involved political elements, it reported moonquakes more often than it reported any disasters on Earth...

"...It's normal, to put it bluntly. When things first appear, the shackles are at their weakest! You add them year after year, and in the end, no one knows what they'll turn into."

Chu Zhu sighed. It was just like when web novels first came out—there were no taboos. But later on—looking around, everything became an off-limits zone!

"Look at the bright side, at least I learned a lot of names!" Chu Zhu squinted, complaining to himself. Since he had checked so much here, in the future when he needed to recruit people, he could really use the trick of "I've heard this brother's (or sister's) name, so there's a high probability they are a great talent!"
