Chapter 50: Need an Assistant!
Everyone looked at Alicia in unison. Feeling all eyes on her, she coughed, trying to hide her embarrassment. She felt her previous outburst was out of character. She immediately calmed down and explained.
"I was just surprised."
Luis smiled faintly and said, "You already know I have dual affinities. So, why can't I have more than 3 talents?"
Alicia felt something was wrong, but she couldn't help but nod her head at his 'reasonable' explanation.
With that, Ronald lifted the sound barrier, and the breakfast came to an end.
***
After his morning training with Alicia and Lumine. Luis was going to the Mansion's basement followed by Jack.
Some days ago, he had asked Jack to clear this place for him and set up the things he requested in this place.
The basement was large enough and had enough space for Luis to do experiments.
As soon as they entered the basement, Luis' eyes fell on the boxes that were placed on one side, then on the machines and equipment which were already installed.
Looking at the advanced machines, which he had only read about in the last few days, in front of him, he was very curious.
Even if he didn't have an interest in these things before, at this moment, he was very excited. It may be because he has a talent for it and he knows exactly what to do.
Maybe if he didn't understand any of these, he wouldn't feel anything looking at them. But he does, and he also knows that all these are advanced machines and equipment which are used to make high-tech devices. So he looks like a child who received new toys to play with.
Luis, one by one, checked all the machines, then he opened the boxes to check out the materials. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
It took him a few minutes to confirm everything. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he looked at Jack and said.
If Luis wanted to just create a simple Artificial Intelligence, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. But what he wanted to make was a full-fledged assistant. Not just some program that follows the instructions given. But a full-fledged assistant with human-level intelligence to make his work easier.
The technology in this world is pretty advanced. There are several existing A.I. that are already capable enough to understand human emotions.
But everything is based on a large number of data and to store that, even thousands of supercomputers are not enough. To function, all those A.I. need large data centers and all their data are collected and stored there.
Moreover, for an A.I. to reach a level where it can understand human emotions. They are needed to be developed slowly, over time.
But Luis neither has enough time, nor the manpower, to create such a large data center. Also, he doesn't want to put so much effort into creating an assistant.
Of course, he wasn't going to compromise on the quality. So what should he do? That's when an idea came to him.
'Why develop the A.I. to reach the level of human consciousness? Why can't I develop a human consciousness as a virtual assistant?'
Although this may sound ridiculous and nonsense. Especially to those people who worked so hard to make those A.I.
But for someone like Luis, who had both Technician and Sorceror talent, has read forbidden spells in the Ancient Magic Book, and had an extremely rare treasure that can make his theory possible, it wasn't nonsense.
Luis opened his Pocket Space and took out a vial full of green liquid. It was that same smelly liquid he collected before the legacy challenge.
Looking at the vial, Luis let out a hearty smile and said, "The game's Easter egg is going to come useful."
"Should I start the preparations?"
But before he could, he got a message in his mana bracelet.
[Luis, come back for the afternoon training.] From Mom.
"Uh, guess I can only start after the practice."
Luis immediately placed the vial back inside the Pocket Space and started walking out of the basement.
