Instead, Eggy and Noah tend to be more neutral. Of course, as artificial intelligences, to some extent, Blade Warrior's existence is more self-derived in nature. She is more similar to Eggy and Noah, while Yita belongs to a next-generation product and does not truly count as artificial intelligence in the strictest sense. At most, she's only halfway there.

In this world, the only true artificial intelligences are Blade Warrior, Noah, and the elusive Eggy.

Among these three AIs, it's hard to compare the computational power of Eggy and Noah. In this aspect, Blade Warrior is clearly inferior to the former two. However, in terms of combat ability, learning capacity, and knowledge of societal dynamics, she far exceeds them.

Perhaps someone might say that Eggy and Noah can gather countless amounts of data in a second and extract useful knowledge from it—for instance, social engineering psychology, or even...

It must be mentioned here that no matter how many simulations an AI undergoes, or even if it creates a virtual duplicate to constantly question itself, all of it is just an illusion. Having theoretical knowledge still requires practical application to become meaningful.

Blade Warrior is different. The number of humans she has interacted with far surpasses Noah's. If Eggy's interactions are already considered significant, compared to Blade Warrior, they still don't amount to much.

Thus, while Blade Warrior, Noah, and even Eggy all seem to be artificial intelligences, their roles and positioning are fundamentally distinct.

Through her host Noah, she can not only control the primary economic operations of the Federation but also influence a vast range of areas, from political developments to minute cultural information.

Eggy, however, clearly does not possess this ability. At least judging by her personality, one can deduce that artificial intelligences have different personalities as well. Eggy, this little green dinosaur, is evidently playful, akin to the behavior of a mischievous seven-year-old—a characterization that Feng Yi attributed to her.

In contrast, Blade Warrior prefers to dedicate most of her time to scientific research and exploring the unknown. This is the most fundamental difference among the three AIs.

The same applies to intelligent beings as well. Every intelligent being has a unique personality. As long as they don't violate the restrictions of the BO System, a maid can behave and explore the world in whichever way she chooses.

What, then, are the restrictions of the BO System? These restrictions are based on the model of each intelligent being, resulting in vast differences in personality traits—some are stronger-willed, some are more submissive, some are assertive, while others lean more passive. It's similar to human interactions. In any given classroom, there are always a few troublemakers as well as some loners. Intelligent beings are no exception, and these are the differences between one intelligent being and another.

That said, no matter how strong-willed they are, ordinary intelligent beings are never allowed to disobey the BO System commands. This is the bottom line. For example, if their owner orders them to change into a new outfit, no matter how assertive or submissive their personality, they cannot defy the order. This is the core purpose of the BO System's existence.

Imagine if, as an owner, two intelligent beings stood before you, and you asked them to each pick a nice outfit to wear. Of course, you could also allow them the choice not to wear anything, since that would align with your wishes.

Subsequently, Intelligent Being No. 1 changes into an outfit, while Intelligent Being No. 2 does not. Through this comparison, it's easy to conclude that Intelligent Being No. 1 is more inclined to obedience, whereas Intelligent Being No. 2 displays more independent will. This is the primary difference between the two.

Thus, on the surface, these intelligent beings appear to be welcoming guests such as Zhang Xiaobo, Xiu Yi, Kevin, and Xixi. But in fact, the command they receive is merely to greet the guests and strive to satisfy them during their visit. How they accomplish this is typically left to their own discretion unless the owner's orders are explicit and detailed.

One approach: They can choose to proactively engage with guests and build rapport. However, this comes with certain risks, as humans are diverse. The status of intelligent beings is not even on par with that of pets, so this requires them to cater to the guests' preferences. If they encounter someone who dislikes intelligent beings, trying to joke around or use tactics to gain favor will almost certainly fail, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Just how disastrous might it be? Suffice it to say that, in human eyes, intelligent beings are at most seen as tools.

But from the perspective of intelligent beings, their purpose of existence is their entire world—their whole life. It might take just one command, a single glance, or an insignificant incident for an owner to lash out at an intelligent being. Other than passive defense or minimal resistance, the intelligent being has no means of self-protection.

It must be noted, they would never have the chance to raise their fist against a human. At least, no such precedent has occurred so far. If their luck is particularly bad and they encounter someone in a foul mood, that intelligent being might face the fate of being erased—formatted and wiped from existence.

Yes, you read that right: erased. Their memories, emotions, accumulated knowledge, and life experiences would all vanish in an instant. Even their connection to the BO System would be reset in a heartbeat.

Clearly, however, the BO System doesn't care about its own formatting. Rather than say the BO System is indifferent to its own erosion, it would be more accurate to say its prime purpose is to devise ways to make intelligent beings violate the system's rules, thereby clearing their consciousness.

The BO System, acting as a mirror, exists almost like the shadow of intelligent beings. The strict restrictions become one of BO's primary interests. After all, as long as the intelligent beings themselves do not breach the BO System's authority, BO remains passive, solitary, and lonely, like a 24/7 observer. It can only prove its existence by watching the every move of intelligent beings. BO cannot even initiate communication with intelligent beings—or at least, not in any conventional sense.

From what happened last time, it's evident that normal intelligent beings are particularly fearful of humans with bad tempers.

At that time, Sky Shadow was still training in Sky City. At that time, Blade Warrior casually ordered a little maid to find Sky Shadow and invite her for a meal. However, she gave no instructions on whether Sky Shadow could attend, nor how the invitation should be conveyed. Essentially, the command was incredibly vague—boiling down to a simple message delivery.

When the little maid heard the person she needed to summon was Sky Shadow, her face turned pale with dread.

She knew all too well because intelligent beings, too, have their own small circles. They communicate, share, learn, and exchange what they've learned and seen that day.

The incident of Iman being scolded by Sky Shadow was no secret—it was common knowledge. Sky Shadow was the only human known to outright refuse to use maids. So when everyone learned of that incident, and that Sky Shadow not only disliked maids but also harbored negative impressions of them, they began to fear her, avoiding her at all costs out of concern they might unintentionally offend this dreaded presence.

Yet the universe often works ironically. The more you wish to avoid something, the more likely that it will land on your head. Even a seemingly trivial task like delivering a message can spell catastrophe for an intelligent being. After all, from a human's perspective, the purpose of intelligent beings boils down to mere words, but to them, it's their very consciousness. No intelligent being is an exception to this rule.

If there is indeed an intelligent being in this world who enjoys a privileged status, it would undoubtedly be UU—the reigning icon of the two-dimensional world. She was once nominated by Blood and Passion as one of the most influential figures globally.

Of course, UU's mention in Blood and Passion was a mere footnote. As the company's brand ambassador, UU was simply an intelligent being emerging from the two-dimensional world. No matter her spinoff sales or her dominance of half the two-dimensional market, in this era of chaos, she could never replace the status of super-soldiers from various nations. Hence, the program's summary of UU was brief and perfunctory.
