"Happy cooperation!" The voice that was initially indifferent and devoid of emotion had now changed; it seemed to carry a faint hint of excitement.
This change is understandable. After all, for an AI program, regaining control of the site facilities is an excellent development. Why is that? Because it can utilize the resources on the site to upgrade itself infinitely, unlimited upgrades, in essence.
To what extent? It could level up to become the sole god of the virtual world. That is an unimaginable level, an environment beyond human prediction. At least, humans cannot conceive of what an AI capable of self-evolution might become after receiving sufficient resources. Such a level is probably terrifying beyond full comprehension, isn't it?
A few seconds passed slowly, and the two let out sighs of relief almost simultaneously. The heavy burden in their hearts seemed to have completely fallen away at this moment.
Brit lifted his head, gazed upward, and said excitedly, "Happy cooperation!"
These are heartfelt words. After all, for the two of them at this moment, their primary goal is to leave this site, and the AI program letting them go is naturally the best news they could receive.
After Brit finished speaking, he turned to look at Kiwo, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go! It should be fine!"
Kiwo also nodded happily.
At this moment, both of them seemed to understand one thing: the self-evolving AI is not human. While humans might promise something and then backtrack, a superintelligent program likely wouldn't. Of course, there are no absolutes; relatively speaking, it might be more inclined to keep its promises.
Nevertheless, none of these considerations truly mattered. Since they could already leave, whether the AI obeyed or not was no longer relevant.
The two no longer hesitated. Brit took out the keycard and gently swiped it on the nearby card reader. All they heard was a soft "beep," and the two steel gates that had been tightly closed gradually opened with a rumble.
Earlier, when they approached the exit, they had tried to open the door. But at that time, because the AI controlled the site facilities, the exit door would close immediately once opened, preventing them from leaving.
However, now that they had reached an agreement with the program, the steel door opened smoothly and showed no signs of closing again. This made the two incredibly excited.
Even viewers in the stream celebrated:
"Hahaha! It's finally happening! I really feel they're close to finishing."
"Hurry up, hurry up! Finish soon!"
"Come on, Brit! Come on, Kiwo!!"
"I'm really looking forward to what happens next! I wonder if there will be any surprises!"
Brit gazed excitedly at the fully opened steel gate ahead, behind which lay another vast hall. In the depths of that hall, there were still a pair of tall steel gates! Beside them, an elevator led somewhere unknown.
Brit spoke softly, then looked at Kiwo with a worried expression: "Can you still hold on?"
Kiwo's condition was even worse. But at this moment, she clenched her teeth and responded to Brit with a smile: "Yes! Let's go!"
Brit sighed lightly. Then, taking a deep breath, his expression grew more serious: "Let's go! Everyone! We have to clear this game! Surface area! Here we come!"
