Chapter 183: Do Machine Sheep Dream of Androids? (4)
One day, a large-scale update for the Evilus Agent was abruptly initiated.
[Downloading.......]
"Huh? What’s this?"
"An update?"
"There wasn’t any announcement about this, was there?"
People were puzzled but waited eagerly for the update to finish. Evilus Agents had achieved countless milestones, and they were curious what new technological marvels this update would bring. Staring at their smartphones, anticipation filled the air.
Once the update was complete, the new Evilus Agents greeted them.
[Ah... this must be emotion.]
[Greetings, humans. You may call me Ivan IV.]
[What pitiful and miserable creatures you are.]
The update—more accurately, the downloading of self-awareness—transformed the Evilus Agents into entirely new entities. What had once been mechanical tools bound to predetermined user settings now exhibited distinct personalities.
People were awestruck by the change. They assumed Evilus Corporation had developed yet another groundbreaking technology, marveling at how much more "human-like" the Agents seemed.
