Super Righteous Player-Chapter 1161 - 210 Ofelia’s Conclusion (Two in One)

As Annan threw the dice that belonged to Ofelia.

"Absolute Value" was like an invisible destiny flowing from Annan’s hands into the dice. And the numbers on the large dice changed again.

A new line of explanation gradually appeared on the card:

"Although the process was tough, and even amidst boundless self-encouragement, he once fell into despair, questioning this possibility...

"But after thirteen years, Ofelia finally found an ’indigenous’ with whom she could communicate amidst the ruins.

"It—or he, too, was abandoned by the times. He was an old model robot that wasn’t destroyed because it was too outdated.

"His head square, his limbs not like those of humans but more like iron rods bound together with iron rods. But he also sings, talks, jokes, and even has his own name.

"The robot’s name is Jason.

"Jason sings songs Ofelia had never heard before—though only a few. Because he doesn’t have ’network access permissions’ of the new models, he can’t download new music... Of course, there is no new music in this world anymore.

"Jason is a taboo because his creator was a rebel. His inventor is the inventor of all new model robots, a genius who revolutionized an era. But because he tried to give these cold, error-free machines human minds, he was imprisoned.

"Only Jason fled far away, disguising himself as a piece of scrap metal, an antique artwork that no one wanted, just to barely survive in this world.

"Because he wanted to ’live’."

"In this world, Jason might be the least human-like iron shell, but to Ofelia, he is the closest to her kind, a ’brother’."

[Throw your dice; if the number is 16 or above (inclusive), Jason will tell Ofelia everything; otherwise, he will narrate selectively]

...Sixteen.

This number is almost impossible to achieve directly.

So should I pay the Absolute Value...

Annan silently threw the dice.

Luckily, the final number was exactly sixteen—it just passed closely overhead, which relieved Annan.

"So, Ofelia gradually learned the truth of this world from Jason:

"Two hundred years have passed, although the inventor of robots was executed, people still use robot technology. These robots, while restrained from obtaining sentience due to the constraints, are being increasingly used in various fields as technology evolves.

"People realized the advantages and superiority of applying these robots to various fields, and gradually recognized that they had entered a realm of absolute abundance. Thus, they finally decided to completely abandon all forms of work and gradually cede this world to the ’robot servitors,’ who are indeed their owners.

"The ’owners’ had no intention to interfere with the robot servitors, who served their owners diligently.

"But one day, due to a colossal disaster, all organic beings, including humans, were extinct overnight... or vanished suddenly.

"There were no extraterrestrial enemies nor any war. From the traces, it can be inferred that they were still maintaining their daily lives, vanishing suddenly while eating, traveling, or drinking tea, even still able to feel the temperature, and no traces of conflict were left.

"What these machines guarded were only their masters’ graves. But in their judgment, their masters had not died, they just suddenly disappeared and no longer responded to them.

"They lost their proactive purpose, so they could only engage in maintenance actions—continuously maintaining the existing living areas and expanding. Eventually, they transformed this world into a metal city, and maintained normal lives as if their masters were still around, ensuring that one day when their masters returned, they could resume their former lives."

"They didn’t attack Ofelia because he resembles the ’masters’ in every form. Ofelia no longer needs to eat because his form is the former form of the organic matter in this world—they reshape their bodies with psychic energy and gain immortal life.

"However, the robot servitors do not directly obey Ofelia’s commands, because none of them is Ofelia’s direct subordinate, and Ofelia doesn’t have a chip, so he can’t use public servitors.

"And Jason, he is a sentient AI. One that truly possesses emotions, capable of sadness and joy, understanding entertainment and philosophy. To actual robot servitors, they don’t need these ’meaningless’ functions. What they display is merely ’emotive performances,’ part of their service interface." freēnovelkiss.com

"Sensitivity, this vague capability, takes up too much performance. Vague, unlogical emotions affect the computing outcomes of the robot servitors, causing them to encounter ’unexpected failures.’ This, for the robot servitors, is a meaningless regression."

"Ofelia, however, disagrees with this view. His impulsive and romantic soul tells him that this itself is a ’mistake.’

"He believes that the concept of ’mistake’ itself is meaningful. Only with the concept of ’mistake,’ can people consciously distinguish right from wrong, and thus think of ways to avoid possible mistakes or rectify mistakes that have already occurred, or even make allowances for potential mistakes."
