Xu Sili blinked when he heard Xiao Wuâs words.
Xiao Wu wanted to hear him sing Sprouting?
He frowned slightly as he vaguely felt that something wasnât right.
He mightâve accidentally regarded Xiao Wu as a real child but in his heart, Xiao Wu was just a guide
His voice was very cute but it inevitably contained a mechanical feeling.
Meanwhile, the sentence just nowâ
Xu Sili frowned as he vaguely became aware of something.
He was just about to speak when a light screen popped out.
[Ding! Imperial City-Mercenary Town has transformed a wooden house into a two-story wooden
house, experience value +200.]
[Ding! Imperial City-Mercenary Town has transformed a wooden house into a two-story wooden
house, experience value +200.]
[Ding! Imperial City-Mercenary Town has transformed a brick house into a two-story brick house,
There were 800 experience points gained. Combined with the previous 276 and his experience bar
[Ding~ Your experience is full. Your personal level has risen from Lv 9 to Lv 10, all attributes +1, free
This was what Xu Sili had expected. In his calculations based on Dean Justinâs construction speed, it
was indeed time to level up today.
However, there was still more.
[Ding~ Your personal level is Lv 10. Unlocked the leadership skillâGuide.]
[You will be able to specify a person to strengthen one of their attributes for a short time. The
strengthening lasts for 10 minutes.
Special effect: Ignore the level gap.
Xu Sili couldnât help being stunned at the emergence of the new leadership skill.
He had expected the previous matter but he hadnât expected this!
Guide... strengthening attributes...
It was a support skill. He just didnât know how much it could strengthen it by?
It consumed 500 magic for each use. Based on his current magic, he could cast it three times at
Xu Sili routinely assigned the 10 free points to physique and spirit. Then he looked at his personal
Distance to level up: 76/2000
Physique (51), Intelligence (38), Strength (11), Spirit (44), Agility (10), Defense (10)
Elemental Affinity: Sound]
He finally reached the one star strength and all his attributes had risen to the double digits! But...
Xu Sili looked at his experience bar that directly lengthened by half and couldnât help being stunned.
The experience required for the next level directly rose from 1000 to 2000!
Sure enough, one star was just the beginning.
Leveling up was expected to be more difficult later on.
Nevertheless, Xu Sili wasnât discouraged at all because... he had a construction team. He could level
He thought so and pulled up the town panel again.
Status: Under construction and upgrade.
People in charge: Justin, Wen Jishan (100% increase in revenue)
Completed: Wooden house x1, two-story wooden house x3, two-story brick house x1.
Under construction: Two-story wooden house (90%), brick house (10%), wooden house (5%),
wooden house (5%), wooden house (1%).
Financial expenditure: 157,684 Escher coins.
Special status bonus: Residentâs injury rate 1.7% (construction speed -8.5%, residentâs hunger and
cold rate 25% (construction speed -25%)]
In addition to the new construction, the injury rate and hunger and cold rates of the residents had
also declined. Niya and Wen Jishan were very strong!
Xu Sili closed the light screen with satisfaction.
He saw the virtual room and remembered Xiao Wuâs request.
He hesitated before asking, âXiao Wu, why do you want to hear Sprouting?â
After waiting a while, Xiao Wuâs childish voice was once again heard. âIt is good to hear.â
âCan you tell me what is good and what is bad?â
âXiao Wu... doesnât understand... just wants to hear...â
The originally fluent speech became stuck.
Xiao Wu, had something really changed?
Xu Sili touched his chin and looked around the virtual room before quietly using Insight.
[Affiliation: Interstellar Alliance Network]
[Price: 89,999 cosmic coins]
[Owner: His Majesty Roland (Snow Roland)]
Xu Sili originally wanted to check Xiao Wu. He hadnât expected such information to pop out.
30 square meters was really small.
He felt a bit of loss that 90,000 cosmic coins were used to buy such a small virtual space.
However, it was okay if it was the old emperorâs money.
âXiao Wu, do you have your own body? I want to see you.â
Xu Sili didnât try a sneak move again. He directly asked Xiao Wu. The guide AI... there should be a
âYes, Brother. Please wait.â Xiao Wu responded obediently.
In front of Xu Siliâs expectant eyes, a small pocket-sized mechanical person slowly appeared,
The appearance reminded Xu Sili of the service robot he had just seen on the Star Network
community but many times smaller.
âI am the body of Xiao Wu, Brother.â
The little robotâs mouth opened and closed. It gave off a mechanical feeling but there was also an
Xu Sili couldnât help reaching out and touching the robot with his fingers.
He felt it was a bit magical and directly threw an Insight over.
[Navigation AI58462 (Xiao Wu)]
[Affiliation: K2576 game cabin]
[Origin: Flanders Interstellar Federation]
[Special status: Intelligence awareness is being nurtured]
Xu Sili looked at the detected information and couldnât help being stunned.
âIntelligent awareness being nurtured?â
He thought about it. Then there was a flash through his mind and his eyes widened.
Xiao Wuâs self-awareness was being born? F*ck! An artificial intelligence!
Fu*k! Was this true or false?
Then the words â56% success rateâ calmed Xu Sili down.
The success rate was a bit more than half and it was easy to follow. In this way, Xiao Wuâs
self-awareness should only be sprouting...
Xu Sili suddenly realized something. Surely it couldnât be what he was thinking, right?
He looked at the little robot in front of him, his mind in a chaotic state.
Did Xiao Wu start to develop self-awareness after listening to Sprouting? If so, the song Sprouting
He frowned and thought about it for a moment before suggesting tentatively, âXiao Wu, how about I
go to StarTune and play Sprouting for you?â
âI want to hear... Brother... sing...â
The small robotâs mouth opened and closed and his enunciation was very slow. He was like a baby
Xu Sili looked over and had a guess in his heart.
Life was always good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Xiao Wu wasnât a life at
present but he should have instincts.
His instincts told him that listening to the song Sprouting was useful! The recorded Sprouting should
have no effect or a poor effect?
Xu Sili looked at the small robot suspended in the air and touched his chin. In any case, he would
He took another sip of milk tea. Then he brought out a virtual guitar and as the accompaniment
played, he sang softly in the virtual room.
The song Sprouting was one of Xu Siliâs favorite songs so far.
The melody let him feel like he was in the green fields, experiencing the vibrant energy and vitality of
Perhaps it was this that gave rise to self-awareness in an AI?
Xu Sili soon dispelled all distractions. As he received the notification that 100 magic was consumed
and one proficiency was gained, he also ended the sound.
The moment he looked up, he saw the little robot staring at him blankly. Xiao Wuâs eyes seemed to
Xu Siliâs mind moved and he once again checked Xiao Wuâs information.

[Special status: Intelligence awareness is being nurtured]
Xu Sili blinked and felt like he read it wrong. The success rate went up by 10%?
Yes, there was no mistake!
It had been a bit over half but now it had risen a lot!
âXiao Wu, how are you feeling now?â He asked cautiously.
The little robotâs mouth opened and closed.
âBrother, Xiao Wu feels... very good...â
Xu Sili looked over with a complicated expression. He thought about it before continuing the
He opened StarTune and played a recorded version of Sprouting.
The moment the song was over, he used Insight on Xiao Wu again and couldnât wait to check the

[Special status: Intelligence awareness is being nurtured]
Sure enough, the effect of the recorded version was much less. It was directly a 100 fold gap.
Moreover, Xu Sili felt there might be other reasons for the birth of Xiao Wuâs intelligent
Otherwise, wouldnât he just have to listen to the recorded version 1,000 times and a consciousness
It definitely couldnât be that simple.
Xu Sili looked at the little robot in front of him.
Artificial intelligence...
Was he going to develop a self-aware artificial intelligence? Would this cause any trouble?
Escher Starâs level of technology meant there might not be any major damage if an AI went out of
control, but if it went to the Star Network...
In the face of the unknown, he felt there was no harmin in maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.
Xu Sili hesitated and didnât make a decision at once.
âXiao Wu, you stay here by yourself. Iâll come back to see you in the evening.â
Xu Sili was as well behaved as ever and this made Xu Sili feel guilty.
He suppressed this strange mood, exited the virtual space and left the game cabin.
This time, he cut off the power supply and put the game cabin to sleep.
Xu Sili felt like a bad person preventing the birth of a new life.
He frowned and walked out to his bedroom with great concern
