Chapter 487: Chapter 78, Principle 0, Above All!_3 Chapter 487: Chapter 78, Principle 0, Above All!_3 “We are willing to go on an adventure with you; it’s our own choice.

It’s about you, but also has nothing to do with you.”

“Liu Feng was willing to throw his entire life into research that the whole world considered wrong for you; Gao Yang was willing to give up his future and a stable life for you, always afraid to join your company lest he becomes a burden to you; Chu Anqing, the spoiled princess, trained from dawn till dusk until calluses formed on her hands for you; I…

am the same…”

She paused, and finally, swallowing some of the words, she said:

“I…

am the same.”

“So,” she stepped forward, extended her index finger, and pressed it against Lin Xian’s chest, poking him so hard it hurt his ribs.

Her azure gaze locked onto Lin Xian:

“At a time like this, don’t say things that are disheartening.

That’s not gentleness or kindness; it’s just an evasion.”

“When a group of people stands firmly behind you, willing to go through fire and water for you, oblivious to life and death, what you need to do is not pity, not heartache, not touched, but to shout out loud, do everything you can, lead them to charge without regard to death.”

“This is what a [leader] should do.”

…

…

Lin Xian frowned slightly, looking at Huang Que:

“Do you have to be so unpleasant when you speak?”

Huang Que hummed lightly.

She retracted her finger, tucked it back into her coat pocket, and chuckled with her head lowered:

“I really want to have a nice chat with you too, but there really isn’t much time left.”

“I hope that after you come back from space this time, you will seriously consider what I’ve been telling you about [looking in the mirror more often], and not disregard my words every time.”

“There’s very little I can do.

Even when I know some things, I can’t change much; in the end, it’s up to you, Lin Xian, it’s up to you to change everything.”

She turned around, her high heels clacking as she walked away, waving goodbye to Lin Xian with her back to him:

“Good night.”

…

At night, in the dormitory.

“VV.”

Lin Xian rested his chin in his palm, his elbow on the desk, and said softly:

“Huang Que is lying.”

“Obviously,” said the digital alarm clock VV:

“The reason she gives for taking Chu Anqing into space is simply not convincing.

She has her own agenda, and to be more precise…

her only goal has always been to capture the space-time particles.”

“But even after analyzing for so long, I still can’t understand why she insists on taking Chu Anqing into space.

There’s no logical reason.”

Lin Xian picked up a pen from the pen holder, placed it between his fingers, and spun it:

“It surely involves the space-time particles; there’s no need to even think about it.

𝕟𝗈𝘷𝕘𝗼.co

I did think that Huang Que was planning to use Chu Anqing to attract the space-time particles to capture them.

But now, it seems my assumption was incorrect, and Huang Que ridiculed me for it…”

“Please, I’m not a leader, okay?

She’s the commander-in-chief.

If it were up to me to be the commander-in-chief, I think just taking you into space would suffice.

It seems…

Huang Que doesn’t quite trust you, VV.

She might be worried that you can’t defeat Kevin Walker.”

“A joke!!” the digital alarm clock burst out, its voice cracking with indignation:

“If I can’t defeat Kevin Walker, I’ll unscrew my CPU for you!

How dare she insult me like that!

Artificial Intelligence is very rational and will never be arrogant or boastful; what it is, it is.

I never brag or show off.

When I couldn’t break through Kevin Walker’s block and locate him, I frankly told you.

I always speak the truth and seek the truth from facts.

Now, my strength is indeed above Kevin Walker’s, far above, and that’s an indisputable fact.”

“From the moment I was created, I was the most powerful super Artificial Intelligence of this era; after half a year of updates and iterations, although I may not be in my final form, I can absolutely confirm that in the present age, there is no person, no thing, that can challenge me!

Am I not supposed to speak the truth?”

Lin Xian covered his ears.

He reached out to stop the digital alarm clock from making a shrill sound, like nails on a chalkboard:

“What’s with the attitude in your own nest!

Why don’t you go bother Huang Que, doesn’t she have an electronic alarm clock in her room?”

“Alright, alright, stop nagging, I believe you, I believe that in this era of 2024 you are invincible, just stop it.”

After VV calmed down, Lin Xian heaved a sigh.

He believed Huang Que was not an enemy.

But.

This woman, her purposefulness was too strong.

She truly was acting for her own good, of that she was clear.

But other people…

Lin Xian always felt that Huang Que would not consider others that much.

She had admitted that the history she knew had ended.

And perhaps, that was what she wanted to see.

If she truly was a space-time transmigrator, then her purpose in transmigrating back must be to change history, to reverse her failures, to change tragedy.

Since the trajectory of history, the development of the future, had taken an unexpected turn, off the path of certain failure, it meant that Huang Que’s goal had been achieved.

And the key that could truly reverse the success or failure of history.

It must be this vitally important [Space-time Particle].

These things were not hard to guess by now, they were becoming clearer and clearer.

Only…

Lin Xian was never at ease.

He couldn’t fathom why Chu Anqing had to go to space.

He just couldn’t figure it out.

Click.

The spinning of the pen stopped with Lin Xian, and with a concluding horizontal flick, the pen precisely hit the pen holder, bouncing vertically into it, completing a series of exhilarating moves.

“VV.”

He turned around, looking at the electronic alarm clock on the bedside:

“Do I have the authority to change your underlying code, the limitation principles?”

“You do have it…”

VV answered:

“But what do you want to change?

The current two limitation principles are already perfect, I suggest you don’t modify them.”

“No, not to modify.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“I want to add another limitation principle.

And it is before the second limitation principle, before the first limitation principle…

[The Zeroth Limitation Principle].”

“That is, a principle that has a higher priority than the first limitation principle, to protect my life; you must comply with it foremost.”

The electronic alarm clock VV nodded with an emoticon:

“I understand your meaning, then, what is this Zeroth limitation principle you want to add?”

Lin Xian summarized his thoughts inwardly, and spoke softly:

“The Zeroth limitation principle—”

“[The personal safety of Chu Anqing comes above all else.

No matter when Chu Anqing’s life is under any threat…

immediately abandon the mission to capture the Space-time Particles, control the Skyspace Aircraft to return at once.

When necessary, lift some of the underlying code restrictions, at all costs, protect Chu Anqing!]”
