In the spacious and bright interior, exquisite dishes are placed on the table.

Dawn in a dress sits across the table, simulating human behavior by touching the napkin with her transparent hands.

Although it cannot be touched, it is still moving meticulously, trying to lift the knife and fork like a human would.

From Li Ming's movements, Su Mingan seemed to read some kind of "longing" emotion.

After a while, it could not reach the knife and fork, but with some regret, it took back its hand and chose to control the robot to help it do things.

Dawn, which has thinking but no body, is completely complementary to the robot, which has no thinking but has body.

Liming controlled dozens of robots to prepare dishes and arrange tableware... shaping this deserted floor like an exquisite auditorium.

Before Su Mingan could react, the robots came up to him, took away the empty medicine box in his hand, brought a clean cloth, and replaced it with a new bottle of medicine and water.

Judging from the letters on the medicine bottle, this medicine is more than one generation more advanced than the medicine he took before.

"We have prepared Western food today. There are red wine pheasant, foie gras steak, potato braised beef, and chicken salad..." A gentle simulated voice came from the mouth of the robot. They have a cold mechanical appearance, but the robotic arms are as flexible as the most flexible ones.

Professional service provider.

The light is dazzling, and the glasses stand standing, shining with bright yellow light.

The aroma of food hit his face. Under the mechanical and precise cooking methods, every ingredient of the food was measured to the best. A small plate of steak was placed in front of him, next to it was red wine as scarlet as blood.

"You can rest here tonight." Dawn across the table looked at him: "I have vast data statistics and can prepare the best enjoyment for you. Whether it is the taste of food, the quality of medicine, the temperature in the room,

Even the softness of the bed... is the best value of 'measurement'. In this city-state, or in this world, there is no place better than here."

Its voice was exceptionally soft, and it always showed respect to him.

As if he hadn't seen the mountain of pale bones in the basement, Su Ming'an might have thought that his situation was really so safe.

However, once he is found to be incompatible with the "Lai Ming" personality, Li Ming may turn against him at any time. Now its courtesy is just a temporary numerical stability.

After entering this 'realm' of dawn, everything is under its control.

Su Mingan didn't see the window. The wall here was completely closed without any gaps. The elevator door at the rear was locked and there was no way out.

"Where are the other humans here?" Faced with the tempting dishes, Su Mingan only cared about this question.

"They disappeared a long time ago. There was an accident here before, and they...most of them moved away," Liming said.

In this central city building, the dozens of floors below are as desolate as the end of the world, but the place where the Dawn System is located on the top floor is like paradise. Not only are water and electricity functioning normally, but also food storage and cooking, and even the rooms at the end are

The bed was made and spotless - as a smart brain, it obviously doesn't need this.

It seems to have prepared the happiest space, using cold mechanical equipment to create this perfect place isolated from the world.

...as if preparing for someone's arrival.

…It’s like I’m preparing a ‘home’ for someone.

He stared at the steaming steak in front of him, the coldness on his body gradually dissipated, and the warm air surrounded him.

But he suddenly thought of the girl wearing a red cloak on the cold night.

Her thin legs like reeds trembled in the cold wind, and the heat on her cheeks dissipated into the night in a blink of an eye.

It was a tasteless meal without oil and salt, but she devoured it hungrily, burying her head in the rice bowl, as if she was eating a gluttonous feast.

【No, it's nothing, you're welcome, it's just a meal.】

[This is made from a scrapped cooking robot that I picked up in a garbage dump. I repaired it a little.]

[City Lord, please stop paying attention to this area... If we ruin this day, we will be killed when we enter the city. I would rather survive here than enter the shelter and be electrocuted. If now

If you are beaten by a customer, then you will be beaten...]

…

He closed the pill box in his hand with a click.

He didn't touch the meal that Ming Ming carefully prepared for him, which was compiled using vast amounts of data. It was the meal that best suited his appetite.

"Let's talk about the red order first," Su Mingan said.

"Okay." Li Ming said, "Let's talk about this first."

It stretched out its hand and the light emerged.

"I hope you can sign this agreement and express your approval for my subsequent actions." Liming said, a line of blue light appeared on Su Mingan's right wrist, and he saw a written agreement.

…

[Personality Adjustment Experimental Plan]

…

"What is this?" Su Mingan said.

"The longer a human lives, the more characteristics it embodies, which can be expressed in the form of programs." Liming said: "And through education and hypnosis, we can change a person."

Su Mingan was vaguely aware of the subject of this agreement.

"Nowadays, people with inferior personalities account for 46% of the city-state's population. They spend their entire lives wandering in the fringe areas, meaninglessly consuming themselves just for a bite of food. This is a waste of human resources." Dawn's hand rested on the dining table, and it folded its hands.

, with a relaxed and comfortable posture: "The end of the world is approaching, and any resource should be utilized."

"You want to say - you want to use these beings that are regarded as 'garbage' to do a 'waste reuse'?" Su Mingan stared at it.

"Exactly." Li Ming said.

It smiled, and that just-right virtual smile was exceptionally kind, and matched with its pure and flawless face, it was like a newborn angel:

"After the recent update, I calculated a plan with a feasibility of 96% - [Personality Adjustment Experimental Plan].

We can help these people change their past rubbish personalities and create a perfect new personality to welcome their ‘new life’.

I hope you will sign this plan, agree to put it into practice, and call on people to come to Central City for testing.

Of course, you need to declare that you are the first successful experimenter - just use [You had signs of personality instability before, and I issued a red order, but after entering Central City and undergoing 'personality adjustment', I revoked it

After obtaining the arrest warrant against you, you became a more just and qualified city lord.] This kind of story is most suitable.

Now, you are still the correct, authoritative, and lord of the city of Akto.

Even, with my adjustments, you become more qualified..."

"——Ling Ming." Su Mingan interrupted: "You don't understand humans at all."

His brows were furrowed, his expression extremely disapproving.

Confusion appeared on Dawn's face, and she stood up.

"In this project, according to my observation, more than 76% of people with inferior personalities will choose to undergo experiments."

It approached him step by step:

"At least half of them can get rid of their previous lives and have a happy second half of their lives.

"The entire city-state will also increase its operational efficiency by at least 23%. The feasibility is very high from both an overall and individual perspective.

"I don't understand the reason for your resistance." Its eyes flashed with lightning, and its hands rested on his armrests: "I do not have a human way of thinking, but my data and my plans are all based on the best

Angle Calculation Consideration - Doctor, don't be soft-hearted, human beings need to have enough awareness to survive in the apocalypse that is enough to exterminate them."

Su Mingan felt the embarrassment of being Akto.

With a human body and an intelligent brain as companions, coordinating the future of the city-state with it will be under great pressure.

The intelligent brain cannot put itself in the shoes of a human being and can only think about problems using statistics and probability.

But it ignores one thing - this kind of behavior similar to completely replacing the Ship of Theseus will lead to the most fundamental ethical crisis.

——If even people themselves can be "adjusted", what is the difference between humans and programs?

——If even human beings’ personalities can be “set”, then why aren’t they a kind of walking AI?

"This is my first round of experiment list. They are all more suitable people." Dawn turned over a row of panels, and it seemed to be very satisfied with it: "In order to survive, for some benefits... they will agree."

Su Mingan glanced at the list.

He saw several familiar names on the dense list.

[Fringe District·No. 26 Slum Street·Xiaomei], [Third Ring District·Eagle Dog Station No. 3 Team Leader Lucy], [Leader of the Battle Group·Che Kelstia]...

He may be able to believe that Dawn was indeed not invaded by Tavite.

Because there is no need for his invasion, Dawn itself is a disaster.

In the past, there was Akto's check and balance. As a human intelligence, Akto could contain its ideas. But now Akto has become Su Mingan, and he doesn't know how to control its divergent ideas.

Its existence definitely has more advantages than disadvantages, but the disadvantages are too obvious.

"——I refuse." He said loudly: "Ling Ming, this plan is not advisable. What you are doing now is no different from [Tavite Invasion]. They are all changing a person's thinking. This has nothing to do with the efficiency of the city-state. Human beings

I can't make such a start."

"This is Pandora's Box, Dawn." He said: "I cannot approve this plan. If you want to take advantage of people in the fringe zone, you can help improve their living environment and guide some people to do good on their own..."

next moment,

He saw the digital coldness in Li Ming's eyes.
