Chapter 61: Mu’s Predicament

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu fell immediately silent, and Ye Chong panicked. Whenever something happened to Mu, Ye Chong found out that he was never of much help.

The only thing he could do now was wait. He would wait until Mu awakened again.

Could it be that the energy cells were depleted? Ye Chong quickly stood up and rushed to check Mu’s energy cells. ”No! That’s not the problem! Mu’s energy cells were still at 80%. Then what’s the problem?” Ye Chong racked his brains but could not figure out the reason. His only option left was to sit quietly by Mu’s side and wait.

Ye Chong sat beside Mu for the entire afternoon, but Mu was still motionless, showing no signs of awakening.

Time passed by, and without his notice, he had sat through the entire afternoon. Outside his room, Grandpa Qian called, ”A guest is here!” Ye Chong looked at the time, and found that it was already evening. He gave a meaningful look at Mu before heading out - it was time to work!

Ye Chong looked dejected, and worked without much enthusiasm. Grandpa Qian had asked Ye Chong a few times if he was feeling uncomfortable, but Ye Chong only shook his head every time. Grandpa Qian’s expression was one of worry.

Finally, all the customers had left. Ye Chong left after just eating two servings, and Grandpa Qian was worried about him - the boy had never eaten so little!

Ye Chong returned to his room in a depressed mood. As he closed the door behind him, Mu’s voice rang, ”Ye!”

Ye Chong paused and his head snapped up. His eyes filled with bottomless joy, and the edges of his mouth lifted into an arch. ”Mu, you’re alright now? That’s great!”

The excited Ye Chong leapt onto Mu’s knees. ”You scared me just now! Are you alright now?”

Mu was silent for awhile. ”Based on available information, the probability of controlling the situation was from 58.5% to 61.2%!”

Ye Chong was shocked. ”What happened? Mu, you seemed to have changed a lot before this.” Ye Chong thought for a moment before continuing, ”And now you’re back to normal!”

Mu spoke lightly, ”Your statement is accurate to a certain extent!”

Ye Chong was perplexed. ”What’s really going on, Mu?”

Mu calmly explained, ”There is an unnamed program in inactive mode that has been in my information records all this time. I had repeatedly tried to activate it, as I believe it is most probably information related to my history. However, I had never found a way to activate it. The violent impact during our escape from the trash planet had activated this program, and I realized it was a Photon Simulated Intelligence program.”

Upon seeing Ye Chong’s confused expression, Mu continued explaining, ”A Photon Simulated Intelligence program, or PSI [1], is an autonomous decision-making program present in advanced photon processors. Different PSIs have different characteristics and temperaments, and they have a strong inclination to reject other PSIs. Fundamentally, I am also a PSI!”

”This PSI in me has a 86.9% probability of being the former controller of my photon processor. For some reason, it was forced into inactive mode, and after that, you, Ye, had activated a new PSI in the photon processor that was me.”

”We are born from the same photon processor, and based on the same learning mechanism and decision making system. This also implied that we could not destroy one another, and could only compete for control of the photon processor. From the last impact, his sudden activation placed me in a passive situation, and he managed to take control! However, based on our characteristics, I am more aggressive, and thus have a higher probability of between 8.5% to 11.2% of winning against him. This is why he was suppressed by me today. However, this probability advantage will continue to decrease! Until both have equal power!”

Mu noticed Ye Chong’s confused expressed and spoke his mind without care. ”At your level, the probability of you understanding this complicated predicament is only 21%.”

The remark was promptly ignored by Ye Chong, as he spoke in realization, ”Ah, that means in your body there’s two … Um … What’s that called?” Ye Chong frowned in thought.
