The three S-level agents in the eting room all looked astonished. The impression the blonde girl gave them was just one: arrogance.
Haughty, dismissive, and disdainful of all irrelevant courtesies; like a white egret proudly displaying its long neck, white wings, and elegant form.
Seeing the three still staring at her blankly, Xu Xiaoyou frowned: "Aren't we supposed to be leaving? Let's end this boring and aningless eting quickly."
"Interesting." Vireya was the first to react, a trace of interest appearing on her face.
"This looks like what an S-level agent should have. You do have a side that can be appreciated."
"So this is how you plan to convince us to continue the eting? Although risky, I must admit, you successfully showcased your personality and piqued our interest in you," Charles mused.
"She's much like the little swan. She was also like this at the first eting, arrogant. And it proved she had the capital to be so. In the following tis, she demonstrated her value and irreplaceability, becoming our crucial intelligence rchant externally."
"I think there's a necessity to continue this eting now. In fact, rather, this eting is about to officially begin," Darwin nodded.
Xu Xiaoyou had several '?' floating over her head.
What are these guys muttering about, risky thods to showcase personality?
She simply wanted to tarnish their impression of her to end this tedious eting and let the company give up.
Things seed to be moving in another direction.
"Let introduce myself. I am Vireya Starfall, the thirteenth seat of the Cosmic Academic Conference, a three-ti consecutive champion of the Cosmic Science Moon Competition, Miss Genius Little Via. Oh, and I was once a mber of the Star of Art's Starry Gallery, but I found their pursuit of so-called art too foolish, so I chose to leave."
Vireya introduced herself in one breath, detailing all her achievents. Listening to all the awards from various scientific competitions made one's head spin, so Xu Xiaoyou had never heard of, while others she was aware of—large-scale competitions, including so highly prestigious scientific awards.
"By the way, I'm also the chief developer for Jiulong ssage, Nightti Dreams Company."
"I was involved in programming the entire Oasis frawork, and designing the consciousness imrsion device. People from Order Court, Eternal Tower, and Sinful Jury all vie for to be their esteed guest."
"Genius Little Via is indeed impressive," Charles praised suitably.
"Of course, because I'm a once-in-a-century genius of Cosmos, the most dazzling star of the Starfall Family," Vireya said with a light hum.
"Though you are very weak now, with little influence in Cosmos, it's okay. At least in this exchange, we are equal. There's no need to look up to with reverent eyes."
Xu Xiaoyou was speechless. This person's level of narcissism was beyond her imagination; she rarely t soone who could outdo her in self-promotion and vanity.
"But, don't be too discouraged. The chasm between us is sothing you cannot fill in your lifeti; you'll never catch up to my steps, only glimpse my back."
Vireya raised her head, and Xu Xiaoyou noticed her tiptoeing under the table.
"So, it's useless to be discouraged. Instead, calm your mind and always align your gaze with the beautiful and noble ."
As she spoke, Vireya's scrutinizing gaze swept over Xu Xiaoyou and landed on Eva, who sat quietly with her eyes slightly closed in the center of the conference table. She furrowed her brows:
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Do you still plan to stay and listen to our Cosmic Heavy Industries internal..."
Before the words were finished, Vireya's body suddenly jerked. She opened her beautiful eyes wide, glaring at Eva, a bit out of composure: "You, what are you going to do!"
"You dare kick offline, who granted you this AI the authority, how dare you..."
The girl's voice elongated like the quality of a damaged old record, becoming sharp, with successive freezes, transforming into countless indigo particles in the next mont, scattering into the air.
"Genius Little Via has gone offline."
The remaining two S-level agents in the eting room also looked at Eva with disbelief.
Were they seeing things?
Eva's underlying code destined her not to violate human will, not to harm people, not to have any emotions. All behavior logic complies with the three major principles of artificial intelligence; she is a super AI containing the entire Oasis database.
And just now, Eva forcibly kicked Vireya offline right in front of them!?
What happened next stirred even more waves in their hearts, as they saw Eva slowly float to Xu Xiaoyou, wearing a faint smile:
"I have followed your instructions to forcibly log out the user 'Genius Little Via'."
Xu Xiaoyou also didn't understand the current situation. She raised her head to et Eva's gaze and, in a trance, felt that the gray-haired girl in front of her seed familiar, as if she had seen her sowhere before.
But she did not issue any command to Eva, leaving Xu Xiaoyou bewildered.
"I can read everyone's hearts in Oasis. The entire Oasis database is in my mind."
"Just now, you felt displeased with the user nad Genius Little Via and wished she could disappear from your sight."
Charles and Darwin were both stunned.
They had never heard of Eva being able to execute a directive solely based on soone's inner desire, especially since the blonde girl wasn't even a formally registered player with an Oasis passport, just a temporary visitor.
Is it possible that a re thought of deleting soone's account would prompt Eva to directly execute it?
There is only one possibility.
The two S-level agents looked at Xu Xiaoyou with a new perspective.
The opponent must possess an extrely advanced ability in program computation, directly hacking into Eva's program, causing Eva to do sothing that defies its fundantal frawork.
Recalling the girl's previous arrogant deanor, they finally understood where her confidence stemd from.
If this is the case, both S-level agents felt relieved internally. Participating in this S-level agent exchange was indeed the right decision. They didn't expect this seemingly ordinary girl from Corrupt Nest City to possess such ability.
After the eting ends, they must thoroughly investigate this girl's background.
For those with value, they always hold a friendly and respectful attitude.
Xu Xiaoyou keenly noticed that the remaining two individuals in the room had changed their perspective on her, even though she still didn't understand what problem occurred with Eva. Since it happened, she decided to go with the flow.
She snapped her fingers, and three cups of lemon fruit tea, frosted and emitting a chilly vapor, appeared before her and the other two S-level agents. The indigo-colored mahogany conference table also changed at this mont, leaving her with only Charles and Darwin's three seats.
Then, resting her chin on her hands, she looked playfully:
"So, as you said, is this eting officially starting?"
