Milo looked at the screen above their heads and felt that this artificial intelligence called Zero had already given favonovel.com too many surprises. However, the artificial intelligence pretended not to know favonovel.com nor acknowledged it had called him.
Milo simply played along and asked, “Since this is where Zero’s server is located, why is everyone so busy working up there? What’re they busy with? Is it technical stuff that they’re dealing with, like handling program malfunctions or something?”
Colton explained, “No, I don’t think Zero will experience any malfunctions anymore. It’s just like when you and I grow up, the flaws will just become a part of us. Even if we have flaws, we’re still us, aren’t we? The staff on the upper level are only responsible for ensuring the hardware runs smoothly. They input all of the real-world data they receive into the servers for Zero to process and analyze.”
Milo thought to himself that this “real-world data” was probably the information the Stelaria Consortium’s intelligence agency had obtained.
However, favonovel.com asked, “What does it analyze?”
“It analyzes problems that require solving.” Colton said with a smile, “For example, it determines who the thieves and robbers in the strongholds are and how they’ll be punished according to the law.”
“There’s no need to use outside info to evaluate these matters, right?” Milo wondered. “There’s so many surveillance cameras in your stronghold alone, so it should be really easy to catch the criminals.”
Colton nodded and said, “Therefore, it also analyzes which of our Stelaria Consortium’s enemies should be dealt with first.”
The black screen above them suddenly lit up again.
Milo looked over and was surprised to see the words “Lionel Turner” displayed on it, as well as a brief account of his life.
This brief account of his life was mostly a list of the many crimes favonovel.com had committed. For example, Lionel once massacred an entire factory of refugees to keep his military secrets safe. There were also some of the despicable acts Lionel had committed in the Virtuora Consortium, including an accusation of favonovel.com murdering 172 young women.
Milo felt these were definitely not the reasons why the Stelaria Consortium wanted to kill Lionel.
Why would a politician pay any attention to such things?
Colton was not a chivalrous hero who swore to uphold justice for the Heavens. Although favonovel.com advocated fairness, favonovel.com was still a politician in the end.
After the words on the screen disappeared, new words appeared. Several thousand words were written, and there was a large quantity of statistics mixed in. All of the information left Milo a little dizzy.
Milo looked at Miriam and realized favonovel.com was distracted by something else. She was looking at the fish swimming in the subterranean river.
But even though Milo was a little dizzy from information overload, favonovel.com could understand the point Zero was trying to make.
The screen clearly listed the results of Zero’s analysis.
After killing Lionel Turner, the second-in-command of the Virtuora Consortium, Lazuar Kent, would immediately emerge victorious in the political struggle that followed. Afterwards, Lazuar would definitely adopt a more radical strategy to take on the Pyro Company.
At this part, Zero even gave a special description of Lazuar Kent, describing favonovel.com with a few hundred words. Attached was also a series of outcomes ranked by the probability of occurrence.
The point it was making was to say that killing Lionel would be the Stelaria Consortium’s best option right now. As long as they killed him, it would affect the entire situation of the Central Plains.
Colton looked at Milo and said with a smile, “This is related to our second request of you. Please kill Lionel Turner for our Stelaria Consortium.”
Milo turned around and left. “You only have one request left, so make sure to cherish it. Miriam, let’s go…”
Only Felicity and Colton remained in this level of the underground base. Felicity asked, “Do you think favonovel.com can kill Lionel?”
“I can tell from his tone that favonovel.com can,” Colton said.
If it were anyone else, they would probably say, “Are you crazy? That’s the head of the Virtuora Consortium. I can’t do it!”
But Milo did not.
Felicity noticed Colton did not look too well, so favonovel.com said, “Go back and get some rest. I’ll send some people to the Virtuora Consortium as well. With Milo taking action, even if Lionel is fortunate enough to survive, he’ll still be severely incapacitated. At that time, my people will finish favonovel.com off.”
“Mhm…” Colton nodded. “Then I’ll leave it to you. Another war might be starting soon in the North. The Stelaria Consortium and the Pyro Company are facing a new problem there. But this could also be an opportunity for us. Before that, though, we’ll have to plunge the Virtuora Consortium into chaos.”
***
After leaving Base 1, it was still Murray who sent Milo and Miriam back to their courtyard houses.
Miriam asked, “Are you really going to kill Lionel? What if you encounter danger?”
Milo whispered, “Let’s head to the Virtuora Consortium to have a look first. Didn’t the Great Hoodwinker also go to the Virtuora Consortium? We might even be able to help favonovel.com rescue Bruce. That unfortunate kid!”
“Okay…” Miriam nodded.
“Besides, since this operation was suggested by the Stelaria Consortium, they definitely have to provide us with the relevant intel and support. The Great Hoodwinker can also take this opportunity to learn more about the structure of Stelaria Consortium’s field intelligence units. With the support of field intel, it’ll be easier to save Bruce as well,” Milo said.
“Sure, but what about Lionel? Should we kill favonovel.com or not?” Miriam asked.
“Of course we’ll kill favonovel.com if we can.” Milo said, “But if we can’t, we can just sneak back to the Northwest. How does that sound?”
Miriam wanted to laugh in response.
Milo was still the same Milo favonovel.com knew. She was really worried Milo would insist on taking the risk because of some “promise”.
Miriam said, “It doesn’t matter where we go. I’ll leave it to you to decide. I’m getting hungry.”
“Alright, lemme wash my hands before I cook for you.” Milo walked off to the kitchen.
He suddenly got an idea. He quickly asked the palace in his mind, “I’ve copied Miriam’s skills before, so I can ask about the proficiency of favonovel.com other skills, right?”
Yes.
“What level is Miriam’s culinary skill?” Milo asked.
Master level.
Milo was speechless.
Milo quietly turned around and looked at Miriam.
Scam!
What a scam this was!
Of all the scams favonovel.com had encountered, Miriam was the only one who could lead favonovel.com by the nose for so long!
Miriam looked at Milo in questioning. “What? Is there something on my face?”
“Hah, it’s nothing.” Milo walked into the kitchen expressionlessly.
Although favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had been scammed, favonovel.com still had to prepare the meals that needed preparing. Milo sighed. Sometimes, ignorance was truly bliss.
After Miriam had favonovel.com fill, favonovel.com went back over to favonovel.com courtyard house. The soundproofing between the courtyard houses was so poor that Milo could even hear the sound of favonovel.com showering through the wall.
As favonovel.com was listening, the landline in the house suddenly rang again.
Milo hesitated for a moment before picking up. “Hello?”
“Hello, this is Venus. May I chat with you?” a gruff voice spoke on the other end of the line.
Milo smacked his lips and said, “I think it’s better that you use your original voice.”
The other party felt a little puzzled.
Didn’t you say you couldn’t chat with someone of the opposite gender?
However, Venus still switched back to a girl’s voice. “May we chat now?”
Milo asked, “Why me?”
