Chapter 315 - 8.42 First Blue Star - Programmed AI Etoile
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!
The screaming of the guardian class zerg echoes in the whole chamber even causing it to quake due to the shockwave its sound had made. The flapping of its wing causes small tornadoes to rage within the chamber. Everyone dodges it on time. Now everyone could only talk within their shared communication channel. Qu Yeon is still the one in command as he is the designated one to become the secondary leader while Feng Jing is not around.
Tang Yi: {Yeon, what should we do?}
Qu Yeon: {Wait let me think about it. We need to move at the same time without bumping each other's route.}
Bai Yuyan: {Use what Xiao Jing gave us. The program from before has three modes. We've been using only the mapping mode. This time let's use the Targeting mode and the Synchronize Link mode.}
Tang San exclaimed: {That's right! We still have that cheat from the boss! Yeon, let's use it.}
Qu Yeon: {But I haven't tried it once before. I might make a mistake.}
Xue Ran: {Let Bai take the command for this time. Before the competition, our former small team used all modes in sparring practice.}
Bai Yuyan: {But you've trained with it too, Senior Xue. Why don't you command me this time?}
Xue Ran: {I'm not one of the leaders. This is your responsibility, Bai Yuyan.}
Silence~
Feng Wu: {A'Yan, just try it first. While you take command I and Senior Xue will be the temporary second commands. Senior Qu Yeon, Senior Tang Yi, please learn the process as we use it.}
Qu Yeon and Tang Yi: {We'll observe closely the extent of the program.}
Solaris Vega: {A'Yu, don't be afraid. We had tried it multiple times before. You can do it!}
Tang Si: {Xiao Vega is right. We will support you. Just do it as you can!}
Bai Yuyan: {Okay. I will do it. Activate all modes.}
Suddenly everyone heard a monotonous voice responding to Bai Yuyan's command. This is when he asked the program their leader had made for them to be activated.
[All modes shall be activated as commanded. My name is Etoile. The AI that runs the program Master Jing had made. I was told to only introduce myself when all modes of the program are activated. You ask me for support anytime.
Synchronization Mode Activated. The linkage for synchronizing of all mecha in the communication channel is completed. Now everyone could share the same perspective of seeing all within 360 angles.
Mapping Mode plus search and radar option Activated. All beings within a 300 meters radius can be seen on the Map. Please have someone keep an eye on it.
Weakness Probing Mode is Activated. Etoile had chosen the Guardian level Zerg nearest to the hosts. Probing in progress... My Hosts, please take command. Etoile needs a few minutes to complete probing the target.]
Bai Yuyan responded, "Sure. Leave it to me."
"We will listen to your command, Junior Bai," said Qu Yeon.
Tang San, "Hahaha~ order us with anything."
"Keep calm. We will support you guys if anything. But this program is so amazing all angles are covered. Moreover, it keeps everything recorded on the radar, with this, there are no surprises with ambushes." said Tang Yi.
Tang Si asked, "This... Did Lord Jing make all this?"
"Yes. He also made the absolute defense of Feng Mansion, Fire Phoenix Unit, and his fiance's unit's defensive programs," said Feng Wu.
Solaris Vega, "Leader is so amazing. He is so smart and would also give me some ideas with my inventions and adjustments."
"It seems Lord Jing could do most anything but usually let others take credit for it. Like joining this competition, he doesn't really need this event to join a unit. He already had his choices. But still, help us to grab this opportunity." said Xue Ran.
Qu Yeon, "Indeed we are truly lucky."
Bai Yuyan, "Stop being too sentimental and start fighting you guys. Let's defeat this huge thing and wait for Xiao Jing to come out."
"Yes, Sir!"
[Etoile has finished probing and is not listing the enemy's weakness.
Name: Knight Bee
Race and Level: Guardian Class Zerg
Strengths: Poison spit and paralyzing stingers. Could fly at the speed of 6 seconds per meter. Teleportation (Short). Armored full body.
Weaknesses: Its wings are thin. The pivot area on its back where its wings are attached.]
Tang San whistled and said, "Wow~ look at those details."
"It really found its weakness," murmured Tang Yi.
Bai Yuyan, "Seniors please distract it. I and Feng Wu will try to sneak at the back and hit its weakest spot!"
"Go!" said Xue Ran.
Qu Yeon and Tang Twins, "Leave the distractions to us."
Everyone controlled their mechas and did what they were tasked to do. Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu instantly activated their invisibility mode while the other four mechas drove towards the Guardian CLass Zerg using their particle guns to keep its attention. Thankfully, Solaris Vega had increased the strength their mecha weapons possess. Now all mecha's Blades and guns can be considered first-class thanks to the materials Feng Jing prepared for the team and with Solaris Vega's help, the weapons adjustment was insane.
The particle guns on the Tang Twins only used to bring out a thin line of energy laser-like beam but now after Solaris Vega's adjustment what came out is like a cannon bullet with explosive effects.
BANG! BOOM! BANG!
KKKKRRRIRIIIEEEEKKKKKK!
Tang San, "Fuck! Is this still my particle gun!? Why the hell did it become this deadly?! Shit! I look so badass~ Kakaka!"
"You better thank, Xiao Vega for it. He made the adjustments," said Tang Si to his elder brother.
Tang Yi also noticed that his energy blade can bring out electricity to cover the sword and increase its offensive effect. "This is... so amazing! Xiao Vega is truly a genius~"
"That's not all. Look at Xue Ran's twin blade," said Qu Yeon as everyone's eyes move on the white dual blades held by Xue Ran's mecha.
At his, every slash hints of ice are left behind spreading on the zerg's cut wounds.
KKK RRR EEEEKKKK!!!
Tang San exclaimed, "He could even bring out the bloodline skill activated even while in mecha. This is no longer a mere genius!? Everyone from the Federation would want him."
Tang Yi said worriedly, "This... wouldn't everyone want to steal Little Vega from our team?"
"No worries. No one would be able to steal someone who is under the protection of the Phoenix," said Tang Si.
---
On the other hand, those guys who are monitoring the event from the skies above were all shocked with the display of coordination between the members of Qu Yeon's teammates as well as the overall effect of the weapons Solaris Vega had made.
In the battleship of the Fallen God's Unit.
The monitoring soldiers were all in awe when they saw the sudden perfection between the coordinations of Feng Jing's team of 8. Especially when the program named Etoile spoke like a humanoid AI with its own intelligence.
Xue Ying bellowed, "What the fuck?! What's with that intelligent support program? Did I hear it correctly? They said it was made by Xiao Jing!!!"
"Keep shouting and I'll throw you out of this room," said Marshal Sirius.
He could only gulp in fear as he met his boss's glare, "I'm sorry. It won't happen again." said Xue Ying. "But Marshal, is that Etoile program something Xiao Jing made?"
Marshal Sirius replied, "Yes, I was there when he made some adjustments for it. Though Etoile is an intelligent Ai, it still has restrictions. It cannot be asked by anything else outside his program and it would only listen to those people listed as hosts in his database.
In short, if someone steals it. I wouldn't listen to any command and would initiate self-destruction. I've also seen its database firewalls. It had more than a hundred's firm walls and each wall had varying viruses whenever it was penetrated. It is something that is impossible to be hacked. Well, this is unless the hacker had the same level as Jing'er."
"I didn't know Xiao Jing was a Godly hacker and programmer to such an extent," said Xue Ying.
Marshal Sirius, "Did you and the intellectual division try to find loops in the absolute barrier the Feng Clan had given to us before? You didn't, right? Jing'er made that too. He also told me that he would also help the adjustments for it to be useful for mecha and huge warships. More than that, he also planned to add a few more defense programs on our star network domain. Jing'er told me that our security system is too easy to break."
The soldiers who work for the cyber security of their Unit all sweated when they heard about it. Hearing that their Fallen Gods Unit's Star Network Domain can be easily destroyed by the future madame made them embarrassed. Their FGU Security Domain is already one of the hardest domains to a breakthrough in star network but their future madam, Lord Feng Jing, could easily destroy it means that the security for the whole Star Network is nothing to him as well. If only they knew that the Star Network is under the full control of Feng Jing they would already revere him as their God.
Marshal Sirius observed the extent of the weapons made by Solaris Vega. He was a bit surprised to see just adjustments. It can be said that the student called Vega can already make gadgets to the extent the material could get. The highest possible ratio. This little genius could already do it at such a young age.
"This child is named Solaris Vega. Go run a background check on him. If he is clean we would accept him in upper echelons and work under my wife." said Marshal Sirius.
Xue Ying mumbled, "Who are you calling your wife? You are not even married yet. Hmp!"
Ignoring his subordinate's undertoned complaints, "Did you hear me?" said the Marshal.
Saluted in response, "Yes, Marshal. I'm on it!" said Xue Ying.
In his mind, the Marshal is conversing with System Yue who just returned from investigating Janus Stellan's side.
Marshal Sirius said with his thoughts, 'How's the investigation going, Yue?'
[Everything is in order, my lord. Yue had gathered all necessary reports of what Marshal Janus had done all this time. As the lord ordered Yue had also investigated that person under the sealing order of the Feng Clan. His name is Alula Celeste. Most of his records are deleted and the one who did that is Marshal Janus himself. Aside from his name and his connection of being the classmates of Marshal Janus, General Feng, and General Xia, there is nothing else.]
'So you mean the only ones who can tell me who he is, Marshal Janus and Jing'er?' asked Marshal Sirius.
[It's better for the lord to ask the host but I think there is no need for that. Right now the host is meeting Alula Celeste. They are now at the Beehive in the middle region. I'm sure the host would be reaching out to you after their conversation. Speak of the devil. My lord the host had sent a personal video message for you. Do you wish to watch it?]
Marshal Sirius replied, 'Play it on the mode only I could see.'
[Affirmative, my lord!]
System Yue followed the orders of his Lord God's soul fragment. He played the send video message from his host, Feng Jing, and played it to the Marshal's light brain. He could watch it in his own soul domain in private. But the contents of the video message are simple. Feng Jing is telling the Marshal that he misses him and that there is someone who wishes to speak to him in private.
[Please meet Grandpa Celes on your own at the Beehive in the Middle Region, my love.]
This is the last sentence Feng Jing had recorded for Marshal Sirius.
Marshal Sirius asked System Yue, 'That man was really Alula Celeste?'
[Yue had checked it many times with the host. It was indeed Alula Celeste.]
'I see. Record my response, I also want to send a video message with my wife.'
[Please tell me whenever you are ready Yue will record it any time.]
'Begin!'
While Marshal Sirius is busy recording a video message reply for his wife, the other monitoring chambers are in chaos. The appearance of the crazy weapons and godly program Feng Jing team possess was seen by everyone from the monitor. Now the fact that Feng Jing is an extremely skilled programmer has spread like a wildfire in the Federation. Of course! The Feng and the Altair Family worked together to prevent such news from spreading outside the empire.
