275: Chapter 274 Permission System

"Personally... make it appear in the world?"

He Chenguang was stunned.

He found it hard to believe the meaning Wang Shuo was expressing in that sentence.

"Yes." Wang Shuo said indifferently, his tone calm, not at all like an eighteen-year-old youth: "Instead of using others' hands and being a bystander yourself, Senior, why don't you participate and turn it into reality yourself?"

"Is... is that possible?" He Chenguang's tone trembled slightly; this was the first time since he entered the room that he had lost control of his emotions.

He was not surprised that the expected President Wang was a young man younger than him.

Wang Shuo had pointed out the underlying technical architecture of future Chips to him, and he was at most just a little excited.

But now, he admitted that he was somewhat tempted.

Calming his emotions, He Chenguang looked up at Wang Shuo and asked solemnly: "What do you need me to do?"

...

Wang Shuo stood by the window, watching He Chenguang's hurried figure as he left, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Until the end, Wang Shuo did not explain anything specifically.

But when talking to smart people, a hint is enough.

He Chenguang just focused all his attention on research, so he seemed a bit direct, but undeniably, he was definitely a smart person.

Bringing his thoughts back to the idea that had just popped up, Wang Shuo turned around and returned to the sofa, asking: "Zero, how many zero egg have been activated so far?"

"Sir, as of the current time, 11,998 zero egg have been activated."

Wang Shuo pondered for a moment.

11,998 units; this number was much higher than he had expected.

The sale of zero egg had been going on for almost a week, and the daily shipment volume was increasing.

As of yesterday, the daily shipment had reached 2,400 units.

This showed that Lin Junfeng was still continuously investing in new production lines and constantly optimizing data.

Although such optimization was very likely done by Zero, this could not deny Lin Junfeng's credit.

It seems I need to give Lin Junfeng some other tasks another day.

Wang Shuo thought while rubbing his chin.

People who can get things done should be allowed to keep shining and contributing.

However, at this rate, the activation volume of zero egg would reach nearly 100,000 in about a month.

And this was already the limit that Zero could currently handle.

Of course, Wang Shuo could continue to increase the sales volume of zero egg, but this would mean a decline in the experience of the zero egg, perhaps even sliding down to the level of Artificial Intelligence assistants currently on the market.

If people hadn't experienced the smoothness of the zero egg, it would be fine, but now that they had, who could still accept that kind of thing?

No one could accept it.

If Wang Shuo dared to do this, these users would dare to revolt, and the consequences would be far more serious than making them wait a month or two after pre-ordering.

This was a real public relations crisis.

If some other negative news broke at this critical moment...

Wang Shuo's thoughts raced, and finally settled down.

"Zero." Wang Shuo said: "Open the source code page."

It was time to give Zero a slight upgrade.

...

He Chenguang opened the room door, inserted the card into the power slot, and the whole room suddenly lit up.

This was a very ordinary business hotel. The furnishings in the room were simple: a bed, a desk, a nightstand, a single sofa, and a bathroom—that was all. There wasn't even a computer.

Throwing himself onto the sofa, the zero egg at his feet opened its wings on its own and flew to the charging base, starting to work hard for its battery life.

He Chenguang's gaze was deep, and Wang Shuo's words kept appearing in his mind.

After a long while, he suddenly said: "xiao he, help me book a ticket back to Pengcheng at ten o'clock."

"Master." xiao he, who was charging, opened its eyes and said with some grievance: "I can't do that; you don't have this permission."

"Permission?" He Chenguang was stunned.

"Yes, Master." xiao he seemed to nod its head, vibrated a little, and said: "You need the corresponding permission to let the zero egg do the corresponding things. But Master, don't worry, upgrading permissions is very simple."

He Chenguang asked: "How should I upgrade my permissions?"

"Master, according to the system requirements, there are currently only fifteen permission levels. You can unlock permissions by completing simple tasks. I have put the specific operation method on your phone for you, Master; you can check it yourself."

He Chenguang was slightly stunned, then felt his phone vibrate. He opened the phone, and sure enough, a file had appeared in the directory. He opened it.

"Dear beta tester, congratulations on obtaining the testing qualification for the next version of the zero egg. The quotas for this test are distributed randomly."

"The content of this test is as follows: 1. More acute intuition. Now the zero egg's intuition is sharper. Most obviously, its context retention time has increased from the original five minutes to fifteen minutes. It will more intelligently wait for your instructions at any time. You don't even need to wake it up; as long as it can determine that you are commanding it, it will help you! Of course, this feature may cause a certain amount of energy consumption, so please decide carefully whether to enable it."

"2. The zero egg's functions are stronger. Are you wondering what my zero egg can do for me? The answer is, everything! As long as you can think of it, the zero egg can find a way to do it for you, provided, of course, that it complies with laws and regulations. Now, the zero egg has opened a brand new permission system. Different permissions will bring you different pleasant experiences. You can try to upgrade these permissions to strengthen your zero egg's functions and make it even more powerful!"

"3. More anthropomorphic. Now, the zero egg's anthropomorphic algorithm has been further updated. The degree of anthropomorphism has increased by twenty percent from the data level demonstration. You can feel your zero egg awakening step by step. Ha, don't be afraid, this is just the beginning."

"4. More intelligent..."

He Chenguang spent one minute browsing through all the content, revealing a hint of surprise.

It did indeed introduce the permission system in detail.

According to the introduction, when every user just gets a zero egg, no matter what activation method is used or what class is chosen, the zero egg's permissions are consistent, which is only providing question-and-answer attributes.

"The zero egg can respond to your summons and provide corresponding feedback." This was the original statement.

But now, after the permission system is enabled, the zero egg's functions will be further strengthened, for example, He Chenguang just ordered the zero egg to buy a plane ticket.

The current zero egg cannot do this, but the zero egg after permission upgrade can.

As for how to upgrade permissions, it is actually quite simple, divided into two modes.

The first is task mode. The zero egg publishes certain tasks, you follow the prompts to complete the tasks, and after completion, the zero egg will give certain rewards. In this part of the rewards, it is very likely that there will be a permission upgrade item. According to the published probability, there is about a two percent chance to draw it.

This mode... He Chenguang had a sense of déjà vu like playing NetEase and Tencent games.

The second is certification mode. This mode is relatively simple. You can choose a profession that actually exists in reality, and the zero egg will conduct professional qualification certification. The specific method... is of course an exam.

Of course, if you have a professional qualification certificate, you can also pass the certification directly. After certification, the zero egg will rate the user and then grant the corresponding permissions.

This...

He Chenguang couldn't figure out why Wang Shuo was doing this.

Letting people take exams through the zero egg?

What good does this do him?

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. He Chenguang felt that he had received enough shocking information today and needed to empty his brain and think quietly.

However, he could try to handle this permission right in front of him.

"xiao he, I want to upgrade my permissions."

"Okay, Master, please choose an upgrade method."

"Certification mode."

"Okay, Master, please provide your diploma and qualification certificate number, and xiao he will help you verify them."

So smart?

He Chenguang felt a little sour. I asked you to buy a ticket and you couldn't do it, but now you can directly verify diploma information—how is this simpler than buying a ticket?

That guy Wang Shuo was indeed deliberately withholding permissions.

He took out his phone, brought up his relevant certificates, and placed them in front of xiao he.

"Identified, please wait a moment."

A dozen seconds later, xiao he made a sound again: "Temporarily shielding the emotion simulation system, your information authenticity has been verified, and I am preparing test items for you."

"The test items have been sent to your phone, please check and reply."

He Chenguang opened it, and a test question was prominently displayed on the screen.

This test question instantly made He Chenguang feel like he was back in his doctoral studies.

After a quick look, He Chenguang casually selected the answer.

"Answer correct, your permission has been upgraded by one level. You can choose to continue answering, do you want to continue?"

He Chenguang said indifferently: "Continue."

Another question.

It still couldn't stump He Chenguang.

"Answer correct, your permission has been upgraded by one level. You can choose to continue answering, do you want to continue?"

"Continue."

"Answer correct..."

...

He Chenguang answered five questions in a row, and his permission was directly upgraded to level five.

Just when he wanted to continue answering, the screen did not continue to display questions.

"You have upgraded to the highest permission allowed by your current qualification certification. If you need to continue upgrading permissions, please improve your certification qualifications."

He Chenguang was slightly stunned.

His doctoral degree plus his senior software engineer qualification certificate could only upgrade him to level five permission?

If he hadn't heard wrong, xiao he had just said that there were fifteen levels of permission in total.

Then how should the remaining ten levels of permission be upgraded?

Post-doctorate?

To be honest, he just didn't get a post-doctoral certificate to save time, but that didn't mean he was worse than a post-doctor.

If even he could only reach level five, those who had obtained post-doctoral certificates probably wouldn't be much better.

Then, force it through tasks?

That was also a method; as long as one was willing to grind hard enough, any problem could be solved.

"xiao he, I want to continue upgrading my permissions, what should I do?" He Chenguang asked.

"Please wait a moment, checking your permissions."

"Check complete. You meet the basic requirements for continuing to upgrade permissions. Continuing to upgrade permissions requires a new qualification certification. Do you confirm you want to continue upgrading permissions?"

He Chenguang nodded: "Confirm."

He really wanted to see what Wang Shuo was really up to.

"The relevant notification matters have been sent to your phone. Please check and confirm before proceeding to the next step."

He Chenguang looked at the new file that appeared on his phone.

Unlike the upgrade push log from just now, this was a very formal document, and the content of the document made He Chenguang slightly surprised.

"Confidentiality Agreement." He Chenguang muttered to himself.

The agreement in the document was very clear, and the terms were almost harsh. If the test content was leaked, the consequences would be terrifying.

This kind of thing, if it weren't He Chenguang, if it were someone else, they might have already been scared off.

After thinking for a moment, He Chenguang signed his name.

In front of xiao he, faking it was meaningless. He Chenguang could even be sure that the xiao he at this moment might no longer be his xiao he, but another program.

"Confirmed."

"Since you have chosen qualification certification and did not provide relevant certificates, Zero will provide you with certification test content. After passing, you will be able to continue to upgrade permissions."

"The questions have been sent."

He Chenguang opened the file that had just been sent, and when he saw the first sentence, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is..."
