"Yeah, for the past year, these spontaneous dungeons are appearing in a pattern, specifically where we expect them the least. Not only they are anticipating our moves, but they are also trying to stay one step ahead of us."
"I don't think the difficulty that we faced is the same as the difficulty that some of the other places like the eighth and twelfth dot faced. Because that place is closer to the UMA office, heroes are mostly present there."
"But, this is an amusement park and without any signs of monsters appearing here before, there are no superheroes here. It is a perfect opportunity to strike. And, they are using this opportunity perfectly."
"Those eighteen blue dots are their previous locations and for a year, they have been appearing in this pattern in order to do something big. If I am not wrong, then they have learned a way to send armies in a tactical way rather than in a berserk way."
"Just imagine how many people can they kill and eat if they just know where to attack. Living within Zero-Point Energy, we have consumed a lot of it. Of course, it doesn't do anything to us but it just keeps on storing on our body."
"If they beat us, their strength will get a lot stronger. This is why every monster that attacks us is carnivorous. I am not sure if they will attack in this exact place the next time but if they do start appearing one by one then it will be another massacre. The only reason why we survived is because of you."
"Those goblins were too weak in front of you. But, not everyone is protected by the heroes, so tell UMA to keep an eye on their next move." Brian stared at Troy with a deeply serious expression and spoke.
His words turned Troy silent. He didn't expect the situation to get this worse and it got worse under yees of UMA. He was so ashamed that he didn't even know what to say.
"Well, that should be enough for now. And tell the director of the Tech department to stop Project IT. There is no need to waste resources if our enemy is going play smarter."
Brian stood up and walked away while Charlotte hurriedly followed him. She looked back at Troy to see his expression. As she expected, he wanted to ask something but he just kept his mouth shut.ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ
"Ely, let's go!" Brian called out as they walk near Ely, Lily, and Peggy. She was playing with them.
Hearing his words, Ely put down her lower lip with a teary expression. She obviously didn't want to go especially now when she got a chance to make a new friend and play together.
"You can play with her in school. But, we need to return back, don't we?"
Brian sighed and spoke with a gentle smile on his face. He was trying to forget everything that happened just now.
"Wow, uncle, Ely is coming to my school?" Lily opened her cute eyes wide and asked.
Brian was a little shocked when he heard her calling 'Ely'. He even checked Ely's reaction and she didn't seem bothered by it at all. It truly surprised him.
He smiled and said "Of course, she also needs to study, and being a friend with you seems more interesting than going home. Isn't that right, Ely?"
Ely was surprised. She raised both of her hands and jumped.
"Hurray! I can go to school." pᴀɴda nᴏvel
ραꪒⅆα-ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ "Did you hear that, Lily? I can also go to school. We can play the whole day together. Ahhh…. Ouch... daddy, let go of my ears. It hurts!"
Brian caught her ear and smiled at Lily "Take care of my daughter at school and also scold her to study hard, alright?"
"I will do my best, uncle."
Hearing uncle made him a little uncomfortable but he still smiled and held Ely's hand as they walked away.
"Daddy, why did you pinch my ears? It hurts." Ely pouted while looking angry. She was kicking on the ground as they walked.
"Ely, you don't go to school to play all day. You go to make friends and study with them." Brian shook his head and tried to convince her
"But daddy, I already know everything that a child is supposed to know. I even know a lot about teenagers' studies. Mother taught me everything. I don't need to go to school to learn all that." Ely stubbornly refused him and looked away while pouting.
"Hmm.... How about this? I will give you a project that you must complete within two years. If you can do it, then I won't force you to study. But, if you can't then you have to study every course that school teaches you." Brian puts his hand on his chin and asked.
Hearing this, both Charlotte and Ely got curious about the project.
"Is it going to be hard, daddy?" Ely asked with a little bit of suspicion in her eyes. She didn't want to bet something if she can't win. After all, she can easily manage her marks in exams and she can play all day if she wants as long as her daddy doesn't get a word.
Brian opened his palm and a virtual projection appeared on his palm from his sunglasses.
"This is Lily. She is an A.I. I created. Unlike other AI, she can do almost anything on her own as long as it doesn't break her core codes. She is capable of taking her own decision in the blink of an eye, counting over billions of possibilities."
"Of course, it is not her processing power that is impressive. It's her human mind. Those billions of possibilities come from the human perspective. It's like billions of alternate decisions that we can take and she can process it all at once to find a correct but not perfect decision."
"So, I want you to create an A.I. like her in two years. You don't have to make perfect like her but if you can reach even twenty percent of what she could do, then you win. What do you think? You already know how to code. All I am asking you is to develop an A.I."
Hearing his project, both Charlotte and Ely opened their mouth and their eyes widened.
"Brian, this is…." Charlotte immediately tried to change the project but Brian stopped her. He looked at his daughter and said "Of course, if you don't think you can do such a simple task, then you can give up."
Hearing his provocation, Ely clenched her fists and asked "How long did it take you to create her?"
"If you are talking about current her, then I would say it took me nearly ten years. That's why I said, if you can make twenty percent of it, then I will let you win." Brian smirked and answered without hesitation.
Ely hesitated for a while and finally raised her hand.
"Deal!"
"Hehe! Good luck, daughter! This is going to be hard."
Brian giggled as he fist-bumped his daughter. Then, he turned around and saw Charlotte sighing heavily.
"You don't like the idea?"
"You are probably the first father to ask his eight-year-old daughter to create a world-class A.I. I don't even know how to process this in my brain." Charlotte sighed as she put her head on his shoulder.
"Hey, that's not fair. Why are you putting your head on my daddy's shoulder? Go away from him!" This time Ely didn't sit down. She raged up and tried to push Charlotte away.
"You can always climb in my arms. And, she has fought a lot today. Let her rest." Brian pulled Ely into his arms and tried to calm their relationship.
"Humph! Even if she is tried, only mommy is allowed to use that shoulder." Ely pouted and looked away.
"Not if she is going to stay there forever," Charlotte smirked and mumbled but her voice was loud enough for Ely to hear.
"Alright! Alright, let's not fight. We still have somewhere else to go, don't we?" Brian immediately stopped their conflict, reminding them of the restaurant.
Because of the battle, Charlotte's clothes were torn a bit and Brian's clothes were dirty due to the electric shock and dust. As for Ely, only she was completely fine.
"Maybe we should go somewhere less fancy," Charlotte suggested as she remembered the condition of her clothes.
Ely didn't speak on this. If it was just Charlotte then she would have said something but her daddy has also gotten dirty. But she did get a little sad.
"Then, how about this? Let's go and change into new clothes. And, then go to the fancy hotel." Unlike reading a person, he was quite good at reading the environment. Of course, he was good at reading people but he got worse later on.
"Really, daddy?" Ely looked at her daddy with a surprised expression and asked.
"Of course, yes! Let's go!"
