Chapter 916

약먹는 천재마법사 916화

Deep Web(5)

“I didn’t know they would come up with a test like this.”

Raktasha muttered, unable to hide her nervous expression.

“How do you know that the Five Egrets were popular in Arsnova? “No, the five-hundred-ro was actually helpful in learning the martial arts training?”

“It seems that there was no information on the deep web about the customs of the central city.”

“I don’t know if it’s a famous custom, but it’s a game that was popular among nobles...”

Rock Tasha, biting her lip slightly, turned to the other managers who followed her and said.

“Has any of these people ever played Obaekro?”

“About a few years when you were young?”

“I’ve touched it sometimes just to kill time.”

“It’s enough to beat a professional driver.”

The managers also seemed to be completely unfamiliar with Obaekro.

Since they are basically people who enjoy using their brains, there were quite a few people who tried their hand at various difficult games.

“When you play that board game, there are definitely a lot of corners to delve into. “I quit because it took up too much time.”

“But I didn’t know it was a game for learning drinking techniques. “If I had known this would happen, I would have tried becoming a barrier magician.”

“....”

It was a joke so absurd that Lennok, who was listening next to him, laughed.

Raktasha nodded her head, looking a little relieved.

“good. Actually, I have also tried Master Rank at the remote Obaekro betting site. “I’m glad most people know how to do it.”

“Master rank? “Isn’t that what he’s best at among us?”

“I didn’t know that everyone would be this good at Obaekro. “From now on, should I add 500 won to my bets?”

“More than that, passing the search engine test is first.”

Rock Tasha said this and nodded her head towards the statue of her with a kind smile.

“It’s called strong artificial intelligence, but this is the deep web. “We can also use the auxiliary computing devices we have.”

Although they were taken aback by the unexpected conditions, the managers did not give up the fight.

In the first place, this is a formless, forebrain space.

Administrators are also whole-brained creatures who have abandoned their bodies and entrusted themselves to the network.

The computing equipment that assists their computing abilities can also be freely used in the competition against strong artificial intelligence.

If so, there is no need to estimate the odds of winning.

She said as Rak Tasha confidently stepped forward and walked in front of her statue.

“Who should apply first? “If you don’t have it, I’ll be the first to leave.”

[C12 Reversed. Continuous 3-way conversion. Occupied in rotation from F58 to 72 in order.]

widely!

The sonorous voice of the strong artificial intelligence Heiberg rang out along with the cheerful sound of a stone being placed down.

[This is my victory.]

“Damn it....”

A huge chess board spread out in front of a statue of a god with a benevolent smile.

The manager sitting across from him held his head in frustration.

[This is my 2049th victory. Would you like to try again?]

“....”

The other managers could not even refute the calm words of the artificial intelligence.

It has been three hours since each person showed their own confidence in Obaekro and challenged the artificial intelligence of the search engine.

All of the managers were helplessly defeated without even being able to do anything.

The reason why the game was played more than 2,000 times in just over 3 hours is because the speed of the game was increased by accelerating thinking.

Even taking that into account, they could not even achieve a single victory against the artificial intelligence in front of them.

[This artificial intelligence does not limit opportunities for the Obaekro test.]

The soft voice of artificial intelligence poured down on the head of the frustrated manager.

[The luck that exists in Five Hundred Roads is an area that can be controlled depending on skill, and even variables can be suppressed with skill. Please be assured that there is no chance of security being released accidentally.]

“...Are you making fun of people?”

Does this mean that there is no possibility of winning against the artificial intelligence in front of you even if there is an extremely rare coincidence of luck?

Lennok glanced back at the manager who was grumbling and retreating.

This is because after about 50 games of Heiberg’s one-sided victory, managers began to take a different approach.

Some managers summon a laptop from the front brain space and start working or replaying a game they just lost.

Even the managers who sit together in various places and talk to each other and give advice.

“Hey, it’s not there. “Let’s put it in R22 and aim for a twist!”

“No, if I did that, all of District 13 that I occupied would be turned upside down.”

“But we still have to move forward and occupy the other side’s territory.”

“Yeah, no. “If that were the case, I would have thrown stones before I could even do 200 moves like you did.”

“What are you doing?”

The sight of the managers cheering and admonishing each other before their voices grow louder and they begin to fight among themselves.

While Rennok watched with interest, Rak Tasha shook her head.

“Ha... Wrong.”

“Looks like things aren’t going well.”

“After the first 50 moves, you can’t even read the opponent’s intentions.”

Raktasha sighed.

“After 100 moves, the balance is completely lost, and after 150 moves, there is no need to hold on. “Rather than winning, we are fighting a battle of pride among ourselves over how long we can endure.”

“....”

“I know because I’ve been watching, but even on one issue, opinions are divided and advice doesn’t work well. “There are too many variables to consider, so even with an auxiliary processing unit, we can’t compete.”

It is almost impossible to take into account the space that can be occupied each time a move is made and the black and white stones that are turned over in all directions.

Even hackers who have worked with all kinds of hacking tools and complex codes are so eager to leave it to chance that they end up leaving things to chance.

Conversely, the fact that it was a game that an ascendant could create and play with meant that all of its variables could not be measured even with the ascendant’s capabilities.

“So what do you want to say?”

“....”

Rock Tasha, who had kept her mouth shut, spoke as if she had no choice.

“Please cooperate because it is okay for them to have access to the search engine. “I want to disable that emergency protocol at all costs and check its performance.”

“If I take control of the search engine, all the distribution ratios we discussed earlier will be useless.”

“It would be better than watching the search engine in front of you like you do now.”

At Raktasha’s firm reply, Lennok stroked her chin, looking pensive.

“Termination of the protocol....”

“If you are an archmage, your skills as a five-hundred hero are probably very good, right? “If the artificial intelligence says so, it’s that kind of game.”

Raktasha said confidently.

“Out of all of us, you have the best chance of winning. “Didn’t you know that from the beginning and have been waiting for me to ask for it?”

“no. “Rather than that, I have a guess that I would like to confirm in advance.”

“guess?”

“There is something unclear about the artificial intelligence game. “There are some parts that are beyond my judgment, but maybe...”

Lennok trailed off his words and walked slowly.

“I don’t think much will change if we wait longer. I think you’ll have to check this yourself. “I will participate too.”

Lennok, standing in front of the statue, looked back at Raktasha and smiled.

“However, it is wrong to say that the odds of winning are high.”

“...what?”

Lennok turned around, leaving the embarrassed Raktasha behind, and stood across from the chessboard in front of the statue.

Even though only consciousness was connected to the whole brain space, managers were inadvertently impressed by the unrivaled intuition.

“Are you saying that you deliberately led the match to a draw against Arsnova’s artificial intelligence? Even though the Archmage is different, he is very different.”

“You brought the game to that point without an auxiliary computing device like us. “What on earth is inside that head?”

“It’s good that you’ve discovered the secret of fast artificial intelligence, but if you can’t beat it, you have to make a decision.”

Raktasha said with a serious expression.

“Search engines will have to either hide the hidden address or extract it and store it somewhere else.”

“Why?”

“Other hackers will have noticed that we are gathered around here by now.”

Lennok, understanding the meaning of those words, nodded his head.

“This means that the search engine could be hijacked by another force.”

“Just installing a firewall is not enough. In the worst case, a virus or malware may be introduced to contaminate it so that it cannot be used.”

Raktasha said with a serious expression.

“Actually, it’s already close. Although I left it alone because I thought it could win the five-hundred-ro battle. now....”

Now that Lennok has admitted that the odds cannot be discussed right now, does that mean he needs to take action?

Other managers who understood that fact quietly lamented.

“If I had known this would happen, I should have prepared better.”

“Who knew that the artificial intelligence of the central city would take on the five-hundred-route match?”

“If it had happened a thousand times, I wouldn’t have known. As far as I know, there is a rumor that Evan Martinez inherited Jindun’s barrier technique...”

“Hey hey!!”

“Shut up. what are you doing?”

The other managers were shocked and covered their mouths as someone muttered something.

This is a statement that would be impossible to make without risking one’s life, less than a month after the end of the thousand-time decisive battle with Solidarity.

The managers who secretly caught a glimpse of Lennok’s pensive state scolded the manager who had just made an outrageous remark.

“No, but it’s true that a thousand times would have been more helpful than fastness at this point-”

“I’m listening to it myself, and if you compare it to the flame magic here, I’d really like it. uh?”

“Do you want to be consciously incinerated?”

While the administrators were watching Lennok and trying to silence him.

Raktasha asked Lennok, who was lost in thought, ignoring the words coming from around him.

“If it’s okay with you, I’m going to finish the work here and seal the address. Is that okay?”

“....”

“I plan to collect the five hundred records and create a new AI powerhouse. “I’ll call you again when I’m ready, so here-”

“If Five Hundred Road’s records were worth collecting, is there any reason to throw them away?”

“...what?”

“If I had been so attached to the Five Egrets that I left them behind even before I died, I don’t think I would have left them out of reach.”

Raktasha tried to calm her expression in response to Lennok’s monologue.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “If you have something to say, so that we can understand-”

“Let’s go back to reality for a moment.”

“what? wait! “If you disconnect here now, you won’t be able to come back...!!”

Ignoring the words of the embarrassed Raktasha, Lennok immediately walked out of the realm of the Dream Vision.

Whoop!!

The area of the forebrain space peeled off like a shell and landed in front of the ramp right next to the underground cavity.

Lennok, who was sitting on the ramp, began to take out all kinds of items from his arms.

Cheek!

-Oh, half. Are you done with your business? Even though I didn’t do that, I got a call about some kind of meeting.

Jenny, sensing Lennok’s popularity, sent a message using the underground communal speaker.

-They said they wanted to send an envoy to inform them of the schedule for attending the summit. They say they will arrive at the Magic Tower in a little while, so if you want to meet-

“Let’s talk later.”

Wow!!

Lennok took out a huge scroll from within his arms and opened it wide.

Papyrus Argenteus, with a soft silver glow. The Ascendant’s Artifact Armament that Lennok obtained from Jindun’s Cradle.

It is a relic-level artifact that records and stores magical power or magic, and was used to engrave the barrier line in advance during life.

Lennok was using this papyrus to recharge his flashing spell, which has poor fuel efficiency.

However, what Lennok was looking for through Papyrus was not a pre-stored magic trick or magic formula.

Sarah...!

Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he skimmed the rough surface of the papyrus with his bare hands.

‘If Obaekro’s notation had significant value in improving one’s skills, Jindundo would certainly have kept the notation.’

Just before his death, Jindun was so attached to the game he created that he passed on the barrier art to Lennok through Oh Hakuro and left.

Then, of course, he would not have thrown away the five hundred records that he had kept for his entire life.

However, in Jindun’s Cradle, Lennok never saw any paper or data with notation written on it.

In that case, the artifact that Jindun has placed so far that may contain the records of the Five Hundred Roads is-

‘Ethan Bajur used Papyrus Aureus not for magic or magic, but to record his travel log.’

Lennok fumbled through the papyrus and slowly raised his magic power.

‘If the ability to store writings or phrases exists in the Papyrus series, it is clear that Jindundo-’

The moment Lennok thought that way, he rubbed the papyrus as if he was drawing a chessboard with his magic power.

Slurp...!!

Lennok paused after seeing the chess board and white stones placed on the empty papyrus paper.

When Lennok places the black stone, a white stone is engraved on the papyrus again.

“Right.”

Lennok laughed as he realized that the series of events was not a coincidence, but was connected naturally as if it had been promised.

“This isn’t notation... Was it Jin Dun’s hobby tool?”

Lennok immediately stood up and walked back into the realm of the reverie.

Crackling!!

Raktasha inadvertently took a step back from her with a surprised expression on her face.

“I’m really back. “How can I disconnect once and still be fine...”

“Search engine. “There will still be some left, right?”

“I was just about to organize it. “If there is no other way, there is no reason to stay here-”

“Let’s try one more time.”

“what?”

Lennok, ignoring Raktasha’s words, immediately stood in front of the statue.

Artificial intelligence recognizes the challenger and draws a friendly smile using the face of the new statue.

[Do you want to start a new game?]

“Let’s begin.”

Lennok said this and leisurely tapped the chess board.

“However, this time I won’t compete based on my skills.”

[I didn’t understand what it meant.]

“It’s nothing special.”

Lennok chuckled and immediately took out a long papyrus from his arms.

Wow!!

Papyrus Argenteus. An artifact that draws, records, and saves the legal form of barrier art.

However, after Jindun recorded all the five hundred records he had kept throughout his life in this recording device.

He had been using it to play against himself.

A hobby tool created to relieve the boredom of the ascendant, which had been close to eternity.

“Let’s compete to see which tool performs better. “You’ll be okay, right?”
