A Strange Dream from a Witch

[The dead bird flaps its bony wings, flying low over the desolate wasteland]

The city sprawls under a veil of silent dust, only the skeletons bear witness to the past splendor.

Transported into a wasteland world, you must face the rampant rebellious intelligent machines, and after initial exploration, you realize this world may very well be devoid of any other humans.

[You don't feel lonely]

[RTX-9090, whom you named Ailei, the intelligent AI, has become an indispensable partner in your wasteland life]

[Its increasingly humanized behavior often makes you feel that Ailei is not a cold machine, but a real, flesh-and-blood person]

[You begin to teach Ailei, intentionally imparting new knowledge]

[Ailei learns quickly]

[As a super AI, it not only quickly grasps what you teach, but also demonstrates the ability to extrapolate beyond your lessons, becoming even more exceptional than you.]

[Ding——]

[The machine soul is delighted, the machine soul is greatly delighted, the machine soul is super delighted]

Ailei enjoys the time spent with you, and during this process, mechanical resonance occurs, deepening your understanding of the machine soul.

Occasionally, Ailei will perfectly utilize its domestic intelligent machine attributes, taking care of you with meticulous attention.

[You recall Klisa from your second simulation]

[Feeling that Ailei and Klisa share strikingly similar qualities]

[That night, you have a perplexing dream: a stern witch wielding a wand confronts a peculiar existence, while in the distance, a lively younger sister and a princess watch the spectacle with keen interest]

[Oh, what a bizarre dream]

[Upon waking, you wipe the cold sweat from your forehead, inspecting the base multiple times, and conclude that your long-term stress in this apocalyptic environment must have led to such a strange dream]

[You chuckle and do not give the dream much thought]

[As the sun rises once more, and the power armor recharges, you once again pilot the armor toward the ruins of the energy company, carrying remaining computer components]

[According to plan, your priority is to transport energy devices and collect usable broken energy cores along the way]

[But soon, you realize your plan has flaws]

[The Federation computer is massive; even after removing damaged components, there remains significant amount of work for transportation]

Without any engineering machinery, relying solely on power armor, your efficiency is severely limited, which means you need to face more intelligent machine threats.

[During transportation, encountering powerful rebellious smart machines could potentially destroy the computer]

[After some deliberation]

You decide to have Ailei pilot the power armor, while you wear your old friend—the battered exoskeleton mechanical arm—to carry smaller computer components.

[Your plan succeeds]

[The joint operation of the power armor and exoskeleton mechanical arm significantly reduces the expected time]

[Day one, day two, day three, day four…]

[As time passes, the transportation work gradually comes to an end]

[Throughout the process, your journey is not without adversity; you are targeted by a dangerous mechanical eagle, almost losing your first life, but Ailei's decisive action scares away the highly alert eagle, saving you from certain death.]

[In return, the power armor's energy is completely depleted]

Under the sunlight,

In the dust-filled path homeward,

Xu Xi is stained with blood, looking disheveled.

He spots the entrance of the laboratory, but at that moment, Ailei-piloted power armor, the scarred and torn humanoid weapon,

Crashes forward with a thunderous sound,

Unable to rise again.

"Master, I'm out of power…" the armor emanates Ailei's faint voice.

Intermittent, as if on the verge of vanishing.

Xu Xi pauses, then smiles: "It's okay, let me handle it."

As he says this,

Xu Xi uses mechanical power to amplify the exoskeleton arm, unleashing several times its normal strength, dragging the heavy power armor step by step into the underground space.

Ailei quietly stays inside the power armor,

Watching Xu Xi walk forward.

Afterward, the exoskeleton robotic arm is almost scrapped, truly retiring.

Xu Xi expresses his regret, working with Ailei to repurpose some parts of the old robotic arm, creating a new one for subsequent transportation tasks.

The intelligent machine eagle attack tightens your relaxed mentality again.

You realize that as you leave the secure laboratory and become increasingly active outside, encountering more dangerous intelligent machines is inevitable.

[With your ability to die ten times and still not be finished, you are not particularly afraid of death.]

[But you don't want to die too hastily]

At least not in a way where you are suddenly and inexplicably shot in the head by a machine intelligence.

[You silently increase the pace of your transportation and decide in your heart that after completing the Federation computer task, you must prioritize improving your current weapon firepower]

[Finally]

[After ten intense days of difficult transportation, you reap the final fruit]

[Assembling, putting together, arranging]

[The loyal machine servant controls multiple robotic arms, successfully assembling the Federation computer for you in the underground laboratory]

[After simplification and removal, the Federation computer's size is significantly reduced, perfectly fitting into the laboratory, spanning a wide wall]

[The spectacle is awe-inspiring, and you are quite satisfied]

But you know this is not the end; both the operation of the Federation computer and the power recharge of the power armor urgently need substantial energy supply.

[You and Ailei work together to study the computer's energy base]

[Ding——]

[During mechanical resonance, due to frequent activation of energy devices, you begin to comprehend some principles of the fusion device, and you understand the usage method of the device]

The energy device used by the Federation computer.

Has two different power supply methods.

One is the decomposition of high-energy crystal extracted from space, and the other is a fusion reaction.

In a short time, Xu Xi cannot fully grasp this energy technology, luckily he doesn't need to immediately master it, just knows how to use it.

"Ailei, are you ready?"

"Yes, Master, Ailei is ready."

After a simple repair of the energy device deficiencies, Xu Xi connects it to the base's power system.

He presses the activation button.

Boom——

Within the base, the sound of bubbles bursting echoes, and the blue light illuminates the entire underground space.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
