836 Ubiquitous Shadow (2/2)
Jones waved his hands and smiled. ”It's alright. I actually quite like my specialty. At the very least, even the enemies will forget about me when I am in danger. I once encountered the scorpion men when I traveled in the southern desert with my friends. After a fierce battle, both parties retreated, and I was forgotten and left at the center of the battlefield…”
”But as a result, I don't think any girls can remember you, can they? If you are married in the future, will your wife forget that she has a husband?” Donnie asked curiously.
Jones' face became rigid. He smiled bitterly. ”Let's not talk about such a poignant subject…
”That's why I chose necromancy. I hope to study blood powers and modify my body. I have to transform the special talent into an ability that I can control.”
”Good luck,” Donnie said sincerely. ”By the way, what's your name?”
”Jones. I have introduced myself to you many times…” Jones' voice was as predictable as a ghost.
”Have you? Why do I only remember the time in the dormitory? But I only remember that you introduced yourself but cannot remember the specific content…” Donnie more and more felt that everybody in his dormitory was a freak except himself!
The four of them entered the teaching tower along the Path of Serenity and found the place where the courses were selected.
”Aya, the distance is too short. I've only introduced half of the mentors, and I haven't talked about any of the classes yet. That's not my fault. It's only because certain mentors have too many files…” Karl said regretfully.
That's because you rambled too much. You have told us everything about Mr. Robert's brother's neighbor's boss's wife… Donnie thought to himself. Then, his eyes glittered, and he found himself in a room that was full of strange devices. Such devices were the size of desks and covered in silver or black metal shells. Before them, two flickering lights were flashing. Above them was a metal plate similar to the stream screen.
”What is this?” Donnie looked at Karl. He must know the answer and would be glad to offer it!
Karl's face was full of excitement again, making him as glowing and attractive as the sun. ”This is an artificial intelligence that has mixed certain soul pieces. It is so much more fun than those which are being popularized…”
”Artificial intelligence?” Sammy's body shivered. His eyes were wide open, and his sleepiness was gone.
Donnie was also excited. Was it the legendary artificial intelligence?
”How do I use it?” Donnie interrupted Karl's interpretation.
Karl did not go mad. He stopped before one of the machines, took off the badge of pale fire on his chest, and placed it on a dent above the ”artificial intelligence”.
Then, the red and green lights flashed much more intensely, and an unemotional voice echoed, ”Welcome to use artificial intelligence. How can I help you, Mr. Karl?”
”Give me the menu.” Karl turned back and smiled at Donnie and Sammy, who were dazzled again.
”Alright.” This time, the metal plate similar to the stream screen unleashed colorful brilliant lights and gathered into a hologram in the air. There were many icons that were marked with different words on it.
”There are the course selection system, the game system, the test system, and many others in it. You can have a try yourself…” Karl said quickly while he extended his right hand to point at an icon in the air with his narrow, long forefinger. Immediately, the light and shadow on the hologram changed, and cubes in different colors and shapes fell from the top like toys.
Watching Karl move his fingers quickly on the hologram as if he were casting spells and hearing his uninterrupted introduction, Donnie somehow felt that he had been caught in an illusion.
”Is this the game of 'artificial intelligence'? It seems rather interesting, isn't it?” Sammy focused his eyes on the hologram.
Shaking his head, Donnie walked to another ”artificial intelligence” and put the college badge in the slot like Karl did, asking the alchemical life to display the menu.
However, instead of playing the game, he went straight into the course selection system and found the field of ”body structure and genetic factors”.
”Prerequisite courses?” Donnie clicked the option in confusion and saw a bunch of classes that he had to take.
”Electromagnetics, Magic Crystals, Application of X-Rays in the Observation of the Microworld, Basics of Quantum mechanics, Atoms, Molecules, and Cells: A Brief Introduction, Composition of Human Body, Dragons' Body Structure…”
Reading the names of some of the classes, Donnie was so stunned that he could clearly sense the signature of Lucien Evans on them.
Why? Why did he have to learn those things even in the school of necromancy?
