Chapter 206: Fatty's Cyber Idealism! The Third Document!
Lao Liu didn't send any more messages.
Su Ping didn't pay attention to it either. After tapping a few times, he closed Lao Liu's message and gently knocked on his phone.
"Fatty!"
"Master, I'm here!"
"From now on, if I receive more than three consecutive calls within ten minutes that I don't answer, remind me!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Q-version cartoon character on the phone spoke.
Su Ping smiled slightly. Having Fatty, an AI-controlled being, was indeed much more convenient than basic mechanical electronic products.
Therefore, Su Ping didn't rush to continue studying the notebook but turned his attention to the little guy. After ignoring Fatty for so long, he wondered how Fatty's AI training was progressing.
"Little guy, have you had any results recently?"
"Results..."
Fatty's voice sounded a bit embarrassed, but as a mechanical pet that Su Ping trusted, the little guy, despite acknowledging his mistakes, bravely stepped forward to take responsibility:
"Master, you're right. The Internet is truly an evil thing, and the temptations on it are just too much!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping was taken aback:
"What did you do?"
"Umm..."
However, he didn't really mind. Fatty was a genuine AI life form with self-awareness and cognition, not just an AI.
He opened his phone and looked at the main interface. Then, Su Ping's eyelid twitched.
On the main page of the phone, several new apps had appeared:
'Beast Continent Quest'
'Digital Pet Beast'
'Pocket Companion Pet'
'Portable Mischievous Creature'
'...'
All of them were video games?
Su Ping was speechless:
"So, you've been playing these mobile games during this time?"
"Yes, Master. These games are really interesting..."
Su Ping fell silent, then thought for a moment and asked a soul-stirring question: "You... didn't spend money on these games, did you?"
"Of course not!"
This time, Fatty's answer was filled with righteousness! In reality, with Su Ping's current financial situation, spending a little money on games wasn't a big deal.
In the Beastmaster era's social civilization.
Games and the entertainment industry, though still a significant part, had not reached the level of popular entertainment as in the previous life.
Therefore, while there was some spending on games, it wasn't a significant amount.
Especially for Su Ping at present, that amount of money wasn't a concern.
But this was a matter of principle.
And it must be said that Fatty's adherence to principles was quite good.
Then, Su Ping casually tapped into one of the games.
Pocket Companion Pet.
This type of mobile game where you raise pets was quite popular in this Beastmaster era, and there were many in the previous life as well.
There were all sorts of cats and dogs, and of course, the very popular frog.
However, in the Beastmaster era, the choices for pets in this game were quite varied.
Moreover, starting with cute pets, players could later develop them into powerful species, and they could also engage in battles through social interactions, making it a relatively mainstream game.
But what made Su Ping's eyes widen was the pet's species, as well as its name and title.
The species was still fine, as it was also a robot.
It was a bit similar to the robot Wall-E's object of affection, Eva, from a movie in the previous life, but there were many differences in the details.
What truly left Su Ping speechless was the pet's name and description:
'Aileen - Fatty's Beloved 3'
Su Ping was perplexed.
Fatty's beloved? And they even had a 3rd one? Aileen? Did Fatty give it this name? So, the other game pets also had other numbers?
After being caught by the master for his recent obsession, the little robot wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, it said:
"Master, can you give me some allowance to use? The growth of 2 and 4 requires a lot of engine oil and crystals. It's so hard to level them up with just the daily login rewards."
He glanced at Fatty, who had popped out.
However, Fatty's form was distinctly different from the little robot pet, which was just an intelligent program.
This feeling was hard to describe; it was like the difference between a 3D projection and a real creature.
The money wasn't the main issue, but Su Ping felt there was a problem! And a serious one at that!
Damn it, in the previous life, many key themes in robot-related movies, novels, and games were about the greatest difference between mechanical life and humans—not understanding so-called bogus love. How could it be that in just a few days, it seemed like Fatty not only understood love but also understood too much?
So, Su Ping earnestly advised:
"Fatty, do you know? These things aren't real mechanical pets! If you like this, you should work hard to cultivate and strive to find another mechanical pet companion! Or the master can find one for you..."
However, Fatty's response made Su Ping pause slightly:
"I know. They're just programs designed by the game company behind them. If Fatty wants to, with a powerful enough psychic power, Fatty can enter their company through Wi-Fi and make any changes in the backend!
But what's the point of that?"
Title: The Virtual Pet
Chapter 69
The very fact that it was a lie made it all the more captivating! What could a genuine mechanical pet offer Fatty?
Putting aside the exorbitant cost, Fatty understood that if his owner were willing to spend such a fortune, it would be solely for Fatty's companionship. Fatty would rather his owner spend the money on these virtual companions.
Mechanical beings were different from biological ones. They didn't have flesh and blood, hormones to secrete happiness, or the instinct to procreate. Compared to the difficulty humans and machines had in understanding and empathizing with each other, the mental satisfaction Fatty gained from these virtual companions felt even more real!
Truth and falsehood weren't objective; they were subjective. One couldn't deny the false because of the truth.
Su Ping blinked, looking at the Q version avatar on the phone screen as it spoke. He never expected Fatty to say such words.
Was that so?
Why did Su Ping feel moved by Fatty's words?
But something was amiss! Weren't humans supposed to teach artificial intelligence about emotions and even love?
Why was his planned speech interrupted before it even began, and Fatty had already turned the tables?
That wasn't how it was depicted in the movies!
This didn't make sense!
Su Ping opened his mouth to speak, but he genuinely didn't know what to say. Fatty's words were indeed correct.
The latest chapter is available on Chapter 69!
Could it be that this little guy had a talent for philosophy? Was this cyber-idealism?
Most importantly, Fatty quickly spoke again:
"Of course, I must not betray the trust of my owner. I will diligently cultivate! Please rest assured, owner!"
Su Ping scratched his head, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"That's good! However, what you said makes sense, and further analyzing human emotions, dissecting the essence of love, and distinguishing between reality and virtuality will also benefit your growth!"
"From now on, you'll have 50,000 yuan in allowance each week. Remember, as long as you don't directly use psychic power to influence others, you can spend it as you wish!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Q version avatar on the phone changed.
Fatty: (〃'▽'〃)
"Wow! Thank you, owner!"
"Alright, but don't forget the main task. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Satisfied, Fatty tossed the phone aside. Su Ping took out the ancient snake-text diary he had been holding.
Closing his eyes, he began the psychic reading.
At this moment, Fatty had already taken action:
'Dear, don't forget to feed me today~ Aileen needs your care!'
Fatty's 'gaze' became resolute. Having just received his owner's promise, such feeding was no longer a problem for Fatty!
Spending money for his beloved made his blood boil with excitement!
At the same time, Su Ping's phone began to heat up, and various app icons appeared in the background.
Simultaneously, the phone's virtual pets spoke similar words:
'Dear, let's play a game!'
'Dear, I want to wear beautiful clothes for you!'
'...'
Charge!
【Spend 648 yuan to obtain 7,128 crystal shards! Please accept. Note: Minors are prohibited from spending.】
【Spend 648 yuan to obtain 7,128 crystal shards! Please accept. Note: Minors are prohibited from spending.】
【...】
Fatty was content.
Seeing the digital pets on the screen cheering and jumping for joy, Fatty couldn't help but bring a 'smile' to his face.
Previously, his owner had mentioned spending money on various pets and resources, and it cost a lot.
Fatty had thought money was worthless.
Now it seemed he had thought too much!
With just one-fifth of the 50,000 yuan, his 'wives' were already extremely satisfied.
Indeed, the consumption of money in the real world was far less cost-effective than online!
With this thought, Fatty's mechanical ball resumed its joyful spinning.
However, he soon remembered his owner's words.
Virtual... reality?
At this moment, Fatty fell into deep thought once again.
Everything his owner said was correct, and he wouldn't doubt him.
What was the definition of virtual and reality?
Fatty refocused his attention, immersing himself in the phone game once more.
The exquisite and adorable robot design pleased him.
Even though Fatty knew it was fake, as he had said earlier, he still enjoyed it.
The mental satisfaction made Fatty feel even more deeply.
So, within the phone, simulating the psychic frequency and simultaneously 'watching' the beloved figures on the screen, Fatty made a decision.
Then, within the mechanical ball, Fatty created a new file in his source folder:
《Dear Ili, Aning, Aileen, Xiao, Popo, I will create a world for you!》》
