Chapter 883: Limited Usage
I felt a sense of ridicule from Professor Bai with his selection of a bandaged fist, a double-barrelled shotgun, a melon, and a big gray wolf as chat avatars for Xiao Qin, the class leader, Gong CaiCai, and me.
Professor Bai then told me that those avatars weren’t chosen by him in order to avoid being held responsible, but rather they were approximate icons the calculation programs found online based on the information in the database.
So, the calculation program thinks that I’m similar to a wolf and Gong CaiCai is similar to a melon?
Although Xiao Qin and the class leader can indeed be briefly summarized with fists and shotguns…
“Why are there only these three people?” I obviously didn’t include Professor Bai as he was the administrator.
Professor Bai shrugged, “It’s because it’s just a test version. Due to limited information, the calculation program can only ensure that the simulation results of these three people won’t deviate too much from normal.”
“Really?” I was skeptical of Professor Bai’s remarks, “You should have a lot more information by eavesdropping on my phone calls and text messages for a long time. What about Winnie? It’s Xiong YaoYue. She’s had a lot of phone calls and text messages with me, so why wasn’t she simulated?”
Of course, it was also quite strange that Ai Mi wasn’t simulated, but since the app is called ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ and has an unclear relationship with the dating sim ‘Heartbeat Memories’, I’m too embarrassed to ask why Ai Mi isn’t present. Otherwise, it would make it look like that I really want to fall in love with my sister.
Professor Bai looked embarrassed, “The calculation program has indeed collected a lot of information regarding Winnie, but after calculation and analysis, it wasn’t able to create rules for her thought process and it made her difficult to simulate…”
What do you mean? Are you saying that Winnie is so unpredictable that even a calculation program that claims to be able to predict the future of mankind can’t simulate her?
If you think about it, she’s quite difficult for others to manage too. Winnie is often forgetful and is quite whimsical. Most of the time, she uses her stomach instead of her brain to think about problems. If Professor Bai wants to accurately simulate Winnie, he probably needs to attach an artificial stomach to the calculation program.
After the application was installed, I couldn’t wait to try it out, but I was a little embarrassed to do it right in front of Professor Bai.
On second thought, what’s there to be embarrassed about? The results of ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ can only be obtained through cloud computing. Professor Bai can lookup whatever I input on the server database, so there’s no way to hide it from him.
I clicked on the melon avatar, then asked a question to the virtual Gong CaiCai: “What are your three sizes?”
Let me make it clear that I’m not trying to be a pervert. I’m trying to ask it an unexpected question, otherwise it will be too easy for the calculation program.
I’m definitely not a pervert!
Gong CaiCai’s melon avatar bounced a bit and it simulated her most likely answer to this question:
(Looking down and afraid to look at you): “My mom won’t let me tell boys my three sizes, so I’m sorry… please forgive me!”
Huh? There are also actions in brackets! It’s like a drama script! The answer seems to be in line with Gong CaCai’s character. Would the real Gong CaiCai also answer like this? Should I go check it out later?
After teasing the virtual Gong CaiCai, I started teasing the virtual class leader:
“Didn’t you say that you would marry me if I came back from Cui Song Mountain alive? Why didn’t you keep your word?”
As a result, I typed too fast and typed ‘the toilet’ instead of ‘Cui Song Mountain’, which turned the sentence into ‘Didn’t you say that you would marry me if I came back from the toilet alive? Why didn’t you keep your word?’
The class leader’s double-barrelled shotgun avatar was silent for ten seconds before pulsing and responding to me:
(Squinting with disdain): “You won’t die if you go to the toilet. It only proves that you can perform basic bodily functions. Besides, when did I ever promise that!”
What the hell! The simulation is so realistic! However, the simulated class leader didn’t seem to know that I had heart problems, so there wasn’t any concern in her words.
It’s not strange since that information wasn’t collected into the database by Professor Bai, so the calculation program naturally won’t consider it when simulating the answer.
But even so, it’s quite fun! Super fun! I can’t stop!
I ignored Professor Bai’s interested gaze and continued to ask an important question to the virtual Xiao Qin: “Where did you hide my brother Optimus Prime?”
I didn’t have to wait long as Xiao Qin’s fist icon immediately moved and gave me an answer:
(Shy and started to take off her clothes): “Ye Lin classmate… can’t you use me instead?”
Damn it! Screw Fang Xin and Professor Bai! How dare you simulate Xiao Qin in such a bad way! It feels like someone I know is being used as the protagonist of an H novel!
But it does seem like Xiao Qin has done this before, and it really was when I asked her to return Optimus Prime…
I’m drenched in cold sweat! The calculation program is terrifying! No wonder Ai ShuQiao wants it! If it collects enough intelligence, it can provide better advice than the president’s brain trust!
I didn’t play enough and wanted to continue playing, but a dialog box popped up on the screen: ‘You have used up the number of questions you can ask today. Please ask again tomorrow (questions to the administrator aren’t restricted).’
“Hey! There’s a limit!” I complained to Professor Bai while holding my phone, “I switched my phone to backdoor mode just to play this, can’t you be a bit more generous?”
Professor Bai coughed, “Um… the computer that’s loaded with the calculation program already consumes a lot of power. It also needs to transmit a large amount of data to the supercomputer we rent when it performs calculations. The rental fee for the supercomputer is ￥1,000 an hour at the cheapest, so we have to consider the operation costs!”
“Tsk.” I curled my lips, “Does this mean you can only ask three questions a day?”
“Not three times.” Professor Bai said seriously. “You can only ask one question a day. It will reset at midnight. Today’s three times were additional benefits for you. Please remember to run ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ once a day in the future and ask a question that you’re interested in because the opportunity to ask once a day doesn’t carry over, so it gets wasted if you don’t use it…”
I see! It’s similar to the First Win of the Day daily mission in ‘League of Legends’! Professor Bai gave me this app in the hope that I would switch the phone to backdoor mode at least once a day! It’s because ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ can only run in backdoor mode!
I was seething with hatred when Professor Bai said again:
“If you feel that the opportunity to ask one question a day isn’t enough, there is a way to increase the amount of questions you can ask. As long as you turn on ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ and let it run continuously, you will be given an additional opportunity to ask a question every three hours. In other words, if you leave it running all day long, you can get 8 extra questions. What a deal…”
Where’s your integrity! Making users exchange time for rewards is a technique used by third-rate online games! If I play ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ all day long, then my phone will inevitably be in backdoor mode all day long and be monitored by you all the time! After I have used up all the opportunities to ask questions, I can only chat with Professor Bai as the administrator. Maybe I’ll reveal even more information during the chat, which is exactly what you want, right?
As expected, Professor Bai didn’t have any good intentions when he installed this application for me!
However, the application was quite interesting and I don’t want to delete it. I might as well ask Dr. Yu to check it when I go back. If there aren’t any other traps, I’ll only switch to the backdoor mode once a day, ask it question, and then switch back to safe mode!
In order to encourage me to use the backdoor mode more, Professor Bai not only installed the application for me, but also told me that they will bear the phone bills and data usage fees caused by backdoor mode, so that I can enable the remote video monitoring function.
Nonsense! If you don’t bear the cost, the 3G data usages after turning on video surveillance give me a heart attack and kill me!
After using ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ and reimbursements to bribe me, Professor Bai began to tell me about some strategic ideas to fight Ai ShuQiao.
“First of all, we need to get Dr. Yu on our side. He only works under Ai ShuQiao for scientific research funds, but he doesn’t acknowledge Ai ShuQiao’s ideas. He’s even a bit naive as a scientific researcher —— he didn’t take the opportunity to install his own monitoring system when he modified your phone and instead gave you a clean system.”
Ah, I was really negligent. If it due to Ai ShuQiao’s order, it was possible that Dr. Yu left a backdoor for himself when modifying my phone, but he didn’t do that? How did Professor Bai come to that conclusion?
Professor Bai quickly answered my question: ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ comes with a system check function, which sends the detected data to the calculation program. The inspection did not find anything suspicious.
How cunning! You knew that I wouldn’t have allowed you to thoroughly check my phone, so you used this method to test whether safe mode was clean? He really is a cunning opponent that I have to be more careful with!
“It’s actually not difficult at all to win over Dr. Yu.” I said to Professor Bai, “Dr. Yu is basically a man who’s greedy for money. Although the money is used for research and not for personal enjoyment, the difference doesn’t really matter to us. Haven’t you already scammed a lot of money by running a cult? Why don’t you just give Dr. Yu the money and bribe him?”
Professor Bai, who had always acted confident before, suddenly blushed a little and said hesitantly: “I’m sorry, we haven’t scammed that much money yet, but we’ll continue to work hard!”
