Chapter 50: Need an Assistant!
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.
It took him a few minutes to confirm everything. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he looked at Jack and said.
"From now on, I'll use the basement. So no one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"Yes, Young Master."
Jack had already expected Luis would say something like that, and it wasn't a problem since this basement level was mostly unused.
As soon as Jack left, a satisfied smile appeared on Luis' face. "This is it."
He knew a lot of money was used to buy all this, but it wasn't a problem for their family. Also, he had already brought a lot of benefits for the family from that mine he purchased. So this little expense is nothing.
Not that Ronald minded if Luis used all his money. But still, that didn't mean Luis had no conscience. Moreover, since he had accepted Luis' identity, he at least wanted to be helpful to his new parents and be their proud son. After all, he couldn't do anything for his sister in his last life.
***
Normally, Luis would need some assistants to operate all these machines and several other things. Because he could never do all that work alone, manually.
But that was also a problem because he didn't want someone to work for him and create unnecessary trouble. Such as leaking his secrets or damaging his data in case of being coerced by his enemies.
Yes, he was certain once the game story starts he was going to create a lot of enemies.
Reason one is because his fiancee is too beautiful.
Reason two is that he was going to involve himself in the game story. So there will be a lot of conflicts.
Reason three is because of his status as a genius child of the Suarez family, he is going to be targeted by a lot of hostile groups.
And several other reasons that may be the case.
Anyway, in simple terms, Luis can't simply employ assistants, nor could he work alone. So he was going to make an assistant for himself.
An A.I.
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.
