Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 914

Deep Web (3)

“The rules of the AI maze are simple.”

Buaaaa!!

Two vehicles are running simultaneously in the middle of a huge maze.

A white car with a flag that says 1p and a black car with a 2p flag.

At the same time, they depart from the starting line and branch off in different directions.

“It’s basically a multi-game scoring system. Each player participates by creating an artificial intelligence to pass the maze. “Once the finish line is crossed, one point is awarded to the winner and the maze is reset.”

Audience seats with a panoramic view of the maze. The manager explained, leaning back in a soft armchair.

“Bonus points are added each time you pass a firewall or password installed within the maze. It is possible to score more than 10 points in one game, but if you lose, you will receive 0 points.”

“….”

“Remodeling or improving artificial intelligence is possible at any time during the game. The fun of this game is to check which parts of the maze the artificial intelligence you created is mainly blocked in and fix the performance of the artificial intelligence.”

Bibibbibik!!

When the manager raises his hand in the air, a keyboard and monitor consisting of a screen appear in front of him.

The moment the algorithm and program code are modified and entered, the 1p vehicle quickly moves ahead in the maze.

Geek!!!

Breaking through the firewall and maze at a much faster speed than 2p and reaching near the finish line.

From the beginning, there was no blockage in the series of processing steps, as if he was familiar with the task itself.

“An autonomous driving algorithm for creating an optimal route in a procedurally generated maze. An English decryption module that dismantles firewalls and ciphertexts. Even the design of a complex artificial intelligence that allows all of these tasks to be performed arbitrarily as soon as the game starts.”

The manager looked at this and leisurely took out a cylinder and put it in his mouth and said.

“A unique masterpiece among the Akeno Sisters’ AI spell code tests that not only tests and judges your aptitude and capabilities in various fields, but also requires you to carefully adjust your goals while paying attention to your opponents to the point where you sometimes have to give up extra points and prioritize the goal. “But…”

He glanced away and asked.

“Are you sure you don’t want to play a game?”

[1p WIN!]

A loud sound effect that resonates at the same time as the white car crosses the finish line.

At the same time, the numbers on the scoreboard floating above the manager’s head changed.

[1p: 15]

[2p: 0]

A manager who scores a whopping 15 points with just one win.

The result of earning bonuses by running through every corner of the maze and unlocking randomly set firewalls and passwords.

Although he earned points in one go that would have been possible only by winning five times in a row and receiving a winning streak bonus. The manager’s expression did not look comfortable.

An armchair placed across from the manager.

Lennok, who was sitting in a chair with his chin resting, smiled and waved his hand.

“Never mind, just keep going. “I plan to participate in the game normally.”

“For that matter, the artificial intelligence you created is not even capable of self-driving properly.”

thud!

Kikikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!

As the administrator said, Lennok’s 2p vehicle, unlike the 1p vehicle, cannot pass the simple passphrase, so it just stutters.

They even stumble after hitting the walls of the maze or wander around in circles without even finding their way.

Nevertheless, Lennok, like a manager, just watches the artificial intelligence algorithms and codes without any intention of modifying them.

From the beginning, it seemed like he had no intention of properly responding to this match, and was insincere.

The manager, who was watching Lennok with an anxious expression, said.

“Now, if you’re thinking of backing off the bet or backing out, I have an idea too.”

Buah!!

As soon as the manager spoke, the second game started, and again 1p quickly started first.

This time, he said as he watched the artificial intelligence quickly break through the randomly set firewall and take a shortcut ahead.

“I plan to disclose some of the information that was used as compensation for this transaction to the deep web community.”

“….”

“You wouldn’t want to show your personal information to others, right?”

[1p WIN!]

Meanwhile, after one round of games, the manager’s scores are accumulated again.

The third game starts without much to say.

Only then did Lennog raise his gaze and look at the manager.

“What’s your name?”

“what?”

“New born, age and aptitude. “Tell me something.”

Lennok laughed.

“If you wanted to ask me a favor, of course it wasn’t a real story, right?”

“….”

“If you win the bet, you should tell me what you want to ask for. “Listen now.”

Lennok had once said that he would do anything for Felix, who had told him about the pilgrimage.

Same thing. Administrators probably also don’t know how powerful an influence an archmage can have in real life.

In that case, isn’t the ‘favor’ that the manager wants because there is something he wants in reality in which Lennok can intervene?

And it may also be related to the manager’s true identity in reality.

“…This is Cunningham, who manages the logical operation algorithm area of the deep web.”

Manager Cunningham, who was listening to Lennok with a speechless expression, hesitated and said.

“I… I want to get out of this deep web and go back to reality. “I hope you can provide a body for him.”

“Do you want to go back to reality?”

Lennok chuckled.

“That’s kind of interesting. “Didn’t you just a moment ago tell me a lot about the superiority of the whole-brain space network?”

“…If you are a super wizard or something like that, it wouldn’t be difficult to provide a spare body for a pre-brained life form.”

[1p WIN!]

Cunningham answered hesitantly as he looked at the scoreboard floating above his head.

“I want to handle it as secretly as possible and without anyone knowing.”

“As you said, it is not difficult to obtain a cyborg or an android that can contain the consciousness uploaded into the forebrain space.”

Lennok tilted his head.

“But if all you want is to find a spare body, you could ask Cybrid Echo or Mirror Diver. “Why do you need my help?”

“What I want is a body with magical skills. To buy such a body, simply money or connections are not enough. “I need the backing of a big name like yours.”

Cunningham said with a slightly dark expression.

“The same goes for the Cybrid Echo you just mentioned. “Most of the androids they deal with are simply items with superior mechanical performance, and truly rare spare bodies never appear on the market.”

“It’s a rare spare body with magic talent…”

“….”

“I understand that most administrators of the deep web have abandoned their bodies and uploaded their consciousness to the forebrain space, so why do they want to return to reality now?”

“There is no need to explain further. “I will stop talking here.”

I was interested in why Cunningham would get such an item and return to reality, but he didn’t seem to want to say any more.

[1p WIN!]

[1p: 88]

[2p: 0]

Clap!!

As soon as another game ends, the score increases and the fifth game begins.

Cunningham said, looking up at the scoreboard.

“Once you score 100 points, the winning condition is met and the bet is over. From now on, one game will be enough.”

“….”

Does this mean that there is no reason to disclose personal circumstances, as this is just the minimum amount of information needed to establish a bet?

Buaaaa!!

The fifth game is still ongoing.

The white car with 1p is once again ahead of the black car with 2p by a long way.

Cunningham also seemed relaxed, as if he thought he had completely won the match.

“You were lucky. “I never thought I would get an opportunity like this against an archmage… Nowhere in real life would I be able to use such force against a wizard like you.”

“….”

“It was worth waiting for because I arrived before the other managers. Or is it because Balkan’s fastness is more susceptible to provocation than expected?”

A strange smile appeared on Cunningham’s face as he looked at Lennok.

“I’m glad I can handle the most troublesome thing with ease. I’m sick of it. “With your help, I will now return to reality.”

“Oh, I see.”

He muttered as if he remembered Lennoc, who was looking at the new maze that had been reset for the fifth time, resting his chin on the chair.

“You had to win from now on, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Now, let’s talk nonsense about a game that is already over-”

[Buaaaang~]

At that moment, an excited voice rang out from behind the 2nd car that was running through the maze.

The moment when Cunningham looked away in shock at the incomprehensible meaning heard from the artificial intelligence participating in the game.

thud!!

The 2p vehicle, which was far behind, exploded on the spot.

The car, which was in the form of a four-wheel drive, grew bizarrely and changed into the shape of a huge rocket.

I went through all the complicated maze walls and passed the finish line in an instant.

Quaaaaaaa!!

[2p WIN!!]

[1p: 88]

[2p: 1]

Clap!!

The fifth game ended in a win for Lennok.

At the same time, the two cars stood in front of the maze’s starting line again, and the newly reset sixth maze unfolded again.

“….”

“If you win, you get 1 point. “I heard there’s a bonus if you solve the firewall or password in the maze.”

Lennok spoke next to Cunningham, who was staring blankly at the maze at a loss for words.

“I’ll have to plan my route more carefully from next time.”

“This…is impossible.”

Cunningham, who came to his senses belatedly, muttered with a distraught expression.

“This maze is not a feature that exists in reality. It is a test bed for the whole brain space created by Akeno Sisters. Even if you pretend to physically break through it, you will be declared victorious…!!”

“Weren’t we supposed to destroy the maze or change the shape of the vehicle?”

The moment Lennok said that and raised his hand.

Coo coo coo coo coo!!!!

The huge maze in front of the audience began to fold in half and bend.

An incredibly bizarre sight, as if the ground in front of me stood up vertically and folded like a folder.

The moment when the finish line of the maze, folded exactly in half, turns around and touches the car at the starting line.

Slam!!

A loud sound effect rang out again.

[2p WIN!!]

[1p: 88]

[2p: 2]

“Ah, the entire test bed created by Akeno Sisters….”

“Even if I do this, it will take a long time.”

Lennock lowered his hand as he saw Cunningham with his eyes wide open and unable to speak properly.

“Should we try resetting the bonus rules?”

* * *

Buaaaaang!!!

Cunningham’s 1p car picks up speed violently.

1p is ahead of the 2p car that was following by a long time.

However, the game was over before the 1p vehicle even reached the destination.

bang!!

The 2p car, which left the maze, turned the steering wheel to the side, broke the outer wall of the maze, and escaped.

The game ended the moment you circled around the outside of the maze and reached the destination.

[2p WIN!!]

[1p: 88]

[Master: 63]

“…!!!”

“It seems difficult to accept the result.”

Looking at Cunningham, whose whole body was shaking, Lennok raised his hand.

“Shall we try again?”

Buaaaa!!

The race has restarted and the 1st car is running at full speed.

However, the 2p vehicle did not increase its speed this time.

Instead, step on the accelerator slowly and move forward slowly.

At that moment, the line at the destination at the end of the maze was pulled straight in front of the 2p car, ending the game in an instant.

[Master wins!!]

[Administrator 1: 78]

[Master: 79]

“….”

“One more time.”

Buaaaa!!

A leading 1p vehicle.

However, the 2p vehicle did not even start properly this time.

I just put it in reverse gear and moved the car one step backwards.

Immediately after that, the entire maze turns over, and the starting and ending points are reversed.

Bbbbbbbbam!!

With a loud fanfare, an information message appeared above the two people’s heads.

[Master wins by a landslide!!]

[Bloody hacker: 18]

[Master: 96]

Lennok spoke after reading the message that floated above his head.

“0.032 seconds. “It’s the fastest time since this test module was created.”

“…do it in fucking moderation!!”

Cunningham, whose whole body was shaking, jumped up and threw away the terminal he was holding.

“How long are you going to play with me?!”

“I have no intention of playing with it.”

“Do not lie!! “Even if you are mocking me by changing the guidance message, you are also blatantly reducing my score from before!!”

“Oh, did you get caught?”

Only then did Lennok smile and nod.

“I’m sorry. Because my artificial intelligence has a strong personality. “They say that once something has been done to you, you have to repay it to get rid of your anger.”

“Do not be ridiculous…!! “How can something like artificial intelligence modify the [AI Maze] program itself?!”

Did I lose my mind because I suffered all kinds of humiliation throughout the game?

Cunningham forgot the situation he was in and glared at Lennok.

“It is impossible to modify the magical power conversion tool that is dependent on the artificial intelligence that exists within the spirit network. In reality, it’s the same as changing your race at will!”

“You think so? “It’s not that difficult to play around by adjusting the operation sequence of software that has already established specifications.”

Buaaaa!!

When Lennok raises his hand, the path of the maze splits like waves on both sides.

The appearance of a black vehicle driving coolly along the open road on both sides.

Leaving behind Cunningham’s artificial intelligence, which is stuck at a dead end, he crosses the finish line very easily.

“It seems like he was confident in artificial intelligence and algorithm writing, but he didn’t even really know the principles of this test bed.”

“Stop, stop…!!!”

[Master complete victory!!]

[Hacker worse than artificial intelligence: 1]

[Master: 100]

[GAME SET.]

Kugugugu!!!

The maze beneath their feet collapses, and the two new types return to the brain space.

Lennock slowly stood up, leaving Cunningham frozen while holding the scoreboard.

“Then shall we accept the victory conditions you mentioned earlier?”

“Won’t you leave it to me from there?”

Wow!!

At that moment, a bronze-skinned woman appeared through the curtain shaped by various encryption codes and landed in front of Lennok.

“I’ll give you the information Cunningham promised. “I wish they would have saved Cunningham instead.”

“Who is it?”

“Raktasha Samir.”

The woman answered with an expressionless face.

“One of the administrators of the deep web.”

“I don’t know why you think I’m going to kill the author, but I don’t think there’s any reason to hand over the terms of the deal.”

“That’s because I know that you erased the consciousness of all the Gearside researchers who were pre-brained life forms.”

“….”

Lennok narrowed his eyes at Raktasha’s unexpected answer.

Researcher at Gearside. Ritual burning. It’s clear that he knows about it –

“You remember the time of the National Guard’s rebellion, right?”

Raktasha asked, as if guessing Lennok’s thoughts.

“Gearside researchers who were assisting Army Lieutenant General Edmus Treffen disappeared in large numbers as soon as the situation was over. “They were beings whose consciousness was uploaded to the network just like us, but they all disappeared overnight.”

“so?”

“We realized that it happened right after we collided with you, and through our own method of elimination, we were able to guess what method was used.”

Raktasha’s expression turned serious.

“Designating a virus through central network interference. “Perhaps that was the method used to incinerate all the brain-life forms of the Mechanical Church that were roaming the network.”

“….”

It’s a rebellion by the National Guard.

Only then did Lennok understand why the Deep Web administrators had tried to contact him.

National Guard Army Lieutenant General Edmus Treffen borrowed the power of Gearside to rise to level 8, and researchers who uploaded his consciousness into the forebrain space were assisting him.

Lennok used Dabi’s power to erase the researchers’ consciousness and then killed Trepen, but the administrators continued to search for the cause of the incident.

After tracking for a long time how Dabi erased the researchers’ consciousness, he finally succeeded in finding out the method.

Through him, he naturally became aware of Lennok’s ability to interfere with the central network and contacted him.

“Playing him like a child during the bet with Cunningham must have been part of your ability to interfere with the brain.”

Raktasha asked softly in an even tone.

“Isn’t the fact that you deliberately accepted the bet and wasted time toying with Cunningham an attempt to show off to us?”

“Now that we have enough useless talk, let’s talk about the terms of the deal first.”

Lennok’s eyes glowed coldly as he looked at Raktasha.

“The leader and the leader. The fact that information about the two people is on the deep web. “It must be solid information, right?”

It is clear that the manager standing in front of Lennok is the person he spoke with when he first contacted the deep web.

If she made the information about the leader and the cult leader public through her own words, we should confirm this here.

But instead of answering the question, Raktasha glanced away.

“Aren’t you curious as to why Cunningham was able to obtain information about the church and you from the deep web?”

“I don’t think that’s the answer I want to hear.”

The moment Lennok looked at him with a cold expression, Raktasha immediately spoke next.

“Arsnova’s legacy lies dormant beneath this unofficial network.”

“….”

“I won’t take it back. That’s where you need your central network intervention capabilities. “First of all, I want to show it and talk about it. What do you think?”

I understood what Raktasha was trying to say.

The heritage of the central city. It is also intangible data that exists in a network called the deep web.

The reason why information about leaders and cult leaders exists in this deep web. Why deep web administrators were able to find out that fact.

The answer is that Lennok’s abilities are needed to investigate the direct causes of those two causes.

“I like that you don’t go around talking about trivial things.”

Lennok nodded.

“Please guide me. I will make a decision after confirming the existence of the heritage.”
