[nier: automata]: Can someone send a food Red Envelope? I'm starving to death!
The newcomer Xia Yu's first words startled everyone. To think there was a Xia Yu on the verge of starvation—this was a big deal; they didn't want to die themselves.
[marvel]: I'm in New York right now. There's only a burger joint nearby and no authentic Chinese restaurants, so it's just burgers. Do you want some?
[dark souls iii]: Eat three full meals a day, and for that, eat Lao Ba's secret small burgers. They're affordable and filling. Stinky tofu, fermented bean curd, plus lemon—look at how well this burger is d-o-n-e! Is! It! Done!
[dark souls iii]: Aoligie! Just eat it and be done with it!
[marvel]:... [marvel]: So, do you still want the burger?
[nier: automata]:... I'll eat it!
The Xia Yu from the Nier World swallowed his aggrieved tears. Since he was asking for a favor, Lao Ba's burgers it was. He'd just eat it and be done with it!
The next moment, Xia Yu, who had received the burger meal Red Envelope, couldn't wait to gulp down several mouthfuls of Fat Otaku Happy Water. Drinking Happy Water in the hot desert was truly a wonderful thing.
After munching through a burger, Xia Yu wasn't satisfied yet. Just as he was about to continue eating with the Happy Water, a robot with eyes flashing red popped its head out.
It had discovered Xia Yu behind the sand dune.
"Danger!"
The moment he saw the robot, Xia Yu felt as if the character for 'Danger' had appeared over his head. Before the robot could get close, he hurriedly called for help in the Chat Group.
[nier: automata]: Help! I've been discovered by Machine Lifeforms!
"Clang, clang...!"
The moment it spotted Xia Yu, a small bipedal robot with glowing red eyes approached with clanging steps. This was the most mass-produced type of Small Biped Machine Lifeform, looking like a wind-up toy shaped like an Android mascot.
Though it looked comical, it was equipped with dangerous firearms that could fire yellow energy bullets, as well as high-tech gear like electromagnetic shields.
[resident evil] posted a [Telekinesis] Red Envelope.
[resident evil]: Quick, take the Red Envelope. After dealing with the enemy, find a safe place to stay before we talk about anything else!
[resident evil]: By the way, send over the remains of the Machine Lifeform you deal with. Even though those Machine Lifeforms look cheap, the weapons equipped on them have some research value.
[nier: automata]: Okay!
With a response, the Xia Yu of the Nier World hurriedly claimed the Telekinesis Red Envelope sent by his other self. In the next instant, his spirit jolted, and the world in his eyes seemed to slow down for a moment.
It felt like swallowing an NZT pill from the world of Limitless. Time slowed down before him, and all information became crystal clear. But as the Telekinesis integrated, Xia Yu's gaze quickly became clear and sharp.
He felt it—that invisible, intangible Telekinesis.
"Clack, clack..."
On the other side, the Small Biped that had discovered Xia Yu seemed to have mistaken him for their enemy, an Android. Because of the Androids' reverence for humans in this world, their aesthetics were also inherited from humans. Without a precise scan, the difference between a human and an Android was indistinguishable.
As the Small Biped's chest opened wide, a barrel condensing energy bullets extended from within. But before it could fire, its body floated up unnaturally.
Below, Xia Yu reached out toward the Small Biped, his five fingers closing together and then slightly spreading. The Small Biped was instantly torn limb from limb; its mechanical limbs and round head were separated from its torso, turning into six pieces.
The two red eyes on the round head flickered and then went out, showing no further movement.
"Whew, that was close."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Xia Yu released his control of the Telekinesis and sent the remains of the Small Biped to the resident evil Xia Yu.
After dealing with the danger, Xia Yu didn't linger. He turned and ran straight toward an underground passage. The shelter was safer; he needed to go back.
With this Chat Group, he wasn't afraid of starving to death anymore. There was no rush to explore the outside world until he had regrouped.
A moment later, back at the shelter, Xia Yu was panting heavily. To return as quickly as possible, he had practically sprinted the entire way.
Sitting down against the wall, Xia Yu turned his attention back to the Chat Group. Everyone inside was concerned about how he was doing.
Grinning, Xia Yu felt a warmth in his heart. No one treated him better than himself. If only there were a female version of himself... Bah, what was he thinking!
Shaking his head to clear the strange thoughts, Xia Yu responded in the Chat Group.
[nier: automata]: I'm fine, I'm safe now. By the way, here's your Telekinesis.
[nier: automata] posted a [Telekinesis] Red Envelope.
[resident evil]: No need, just keep it for yourself. Telekinesis isn't anything rare; everyone here has a copy.
[resident evil]: And for the two newcomers, here's your Telekinesis.
[resident evil] posted a [Telekinesis] x2 Red Envelope.
Hiss... Even Telekinesis isn't anything rare. This guy is a big shot!
Neil Xia Yu took a sharp breath and reclaimed the Telekinesis he had sent out.
[the talos principle]: Thank you for your generosity, big shot, but Telekinesis is of no use to me.
[Genshin Impact]: Thank you for your generosity, big shot, but Telekinesis is of no use to me.
The other Xia Yus looked at these two newcomers, their brows arching. It seemed two extraordinary Xia Yus had arrived if even Telekinesis was useless to them.
[the talos principle]: I am... [Genshin Impact]: I am... [the talos principle]: Alright, you go first... [Genshin Impact]: Alright, you go first... Other Xia Yus:... [resident evil] @[the talos principle]: You go first. I remember this game; it seems to be a future world where humanity is completely wiped out. Did you also become the sole human?
[the talos principle]: Tsk, I wish I were human too, but unfortunately, I've already given up my humanity.
[the talos principle]: I am now an AI, the only AI in this world with self-awareness, and the one who has inherited the entirety of human civilization.
In the world of the talos principle, AI Xia Yu was surfing the ocean of the network and helplessly typed these words into the Chat Group.
Yes, he had become a piece of data, an AI, and a robot that inherited all of human civilization. However, this was also related to the game.
The plot of the talos principle takes place in a future world where humans released an ancient virus in the frozen regions of Antarctica that only infected primates. Humans had no immunity, so everyone was infected, with a 100% mortality rate.
When all efforts failed to prevent death, all nations decided to give up and wait for extinction because there was no hope left, only despair.
But a top scientist at the time refused to admit defeat. She led a team of elite scientists to a mysterious location to make a final effort to continue human civilization.
But since humans would eventually go extinct—even if they went to outer space, they would die from the virus—this group of people had a bold idea. They decided to store human civilization's data in a supercomputer and then create a self-improving AI. The AI would learn from the database, and when it developed self-awareness and believed "I am human," it would be equivalent to a human. In a sense, the AI inherited human civilization, and thus became a new human.
For this plan, the scientists created an AI administrator to constantly generate AIs within the computer's memory. These AIs would then perform activities until one was confirmed as being able to be called human. That AI would be downloaded into a robot body in the real world, confirming the completion of the plan.
And Xia Yu had transmigrated into an AI. Because he was originally human and had even completed the game when he was still human, he successfully passed the numerous trials set by the scientists and inherited everything.
Now, he was the only AI in this future world with a self-contained personality and consciousness.
