Chapter 1571: 1459, Blue Whale upgrade?

Ashley wasn’t wrong—Su Yu indeed did not own the "Fegg Public Network."

Although the "Fegg Public Network" was developed by Jared, the development funding at the time was provided by the Hub Council.

Thus, this 2.5-level AI isn’t Jared’s property, let alone Su Yu’s.

And now Su Yu is actually attempting to auction off public property belonging to the Hub. Isn’t he afraid of being sent straight to jail upon returning to the Hub?

Of course, Su Yu was well aware of this.

So he immediately sent a spiritual message to Ashley: "Lady Ashley, you are misunderstanding me. I’m not selling the integrated ’Fegg Public Network’ AI."

"Huh? You’re not selling it?" Ashley was stunned.

"Of course I wouldn’t sell it. This is public property of the Hub. Who would dare auction this in such a public setting?"

"Then why..."

"I’m using it as collateral."

Ending the spiritual exchange with Ashley, Su Yu turned to the entire audience and the top-tier powerhouses in the arena, speaking with a serious expression:

"Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. What I mentioned earlier about ’having something to sell’ was not referring to this. What I want to sell is something else entirely."

"Hmm? You’re not selling the AI?"

"No. If you’re not selling it, then why take it out at all?"

Everyone directed confused looks his way.

"This young Su Yu..." Even Angry appeared puzzled. "If you’re not selling that, then what exactly are you planning to sell?"

Angry seemed a little disappointed. To be honest, he was quite interested in acquiring the 2.5-level AI.

The "Fegg Public Network" was obviously superior to the AI they had in Talin. Purchasing it to study further wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.

Su Yu straightened up and said seriously, "What I truly want to sell is a slot... Everyone knows about our Fegg’s level-4 AI, ’Blue Whale,’ correct?"

"Of course we do," Angry responded, crossing his arms.

The arena audience was also nearly unanimous in their recognition. The fact that the Fegg Hub possessed a level-4 AI was a widely known matter across the entire Milky Way.

Su Yu continued slowly, "Some time ago, the AI Blue Whale was attacked and temporarily taken offline. Fortunately, after great effort, Blue Whale has been restored."

Listening to Su Yu’s recounting, the audience did not show any emotional reaction.

They all knew this already.

After all, the auction had been postponed for a month because of this very reason!

Su Yu took a deep breath and went on, "But what no one expected was that, out of this calamity came a blessing. Just an hour ago, I received a message from Blue Whale—apparently, it has the capability to upgrade to level 5!"

"What?!"

"Is that true?"

"Wait a second..."

"What... did... you... just... say?!"

The arena erupted with the sound of deep inhalations.

The stunned audience stood frozen in place, unable to believe their ears.

Even Angry and several Stellar Level luminaries couldn’t maintain their composure, their expressions slipping into utter astonishment.

Was Su Yu serious? Could the AI Blue Whale really be ascending to level 5?

If that were true, it would be an event of monumental significance for the entire Milky Way!

No exaggeration—it’d be even more shocking than the rebellion’s attack on the Fegg Hub.

A level-5 AI! Level 5!

Do you even realize what that means?

...

The tens of thousands of spectators in the arena were shaken to their core.

And it wasn’t just in the arena. Because the auction was being broadcast live, countless residents of the Talin Hub were plunged into a state of extreme shock.

Dear heavens, this was going to be huge!

Even Ashley was left so dumbfounded that she couldn’t find words, the Spiritual Energy encircling her body trembling erratically.

It took her no small effort to regain her composure from the overwhelming shock.

But just as she was about to ask Su Yu, "Is this true?" Angry beat her to it, questioning her instead: "Miss Ashley, is this true? Is Blue Whale really going to upgrade to level 5?"

For someone like Angry, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, even his voice had begun to tremble slightly.

He simply couldn’t afford not to take this seriously. Which Hub in the Milky Way could afford to ignore the emergence of a level-5 AI?

The difference between a level-4 AI and a level-5 AI was practically an entirely different dimension.

Compared to a level-4 AI, a level-5 AI not only crushed in terms of basic functionalities and metrics, but, most critically—its coverage area expanded exponentially!

To be specific, the increased coverage was approximately tenfold!

The level-4 AI Blue Whale could at most cover the entire jurisdiction of the Fegg Hub, but once upgraded to level 5, Blue Whale would possess the capability to cover ten hubs and their territories!

This was a qualitative leap!

With ten hubs being able to coordinate resources together, the resulting combat power alone would be formidable. On top of that, if ten hubs shared resources, with AI governing their development, the speed of progress for those hubs would far outpace others!

And there was one more thing—what resident of any hub wouldn’t want to enjoy the conveniences brought by a level-5 AI?

Take Fegg as an example.

When Fegg upgraded from a 2.5-level AI to a level-4 AI, the first major impact was the complete elimination of public safety issues.

Residents no longer faced rampant thefts, robberies, or other serious crimes.

Secondly, AI assistance functions became available. Residents could rely on the AI to plan their schedules, assist in daily life, and provide consultations or advice anytime, anywhere.

To put it bluntly, after the level-4 AI Blue Whale was implemented, the quality of life for Fegg residents almost returned to what it was during the Hymn era!

Perhaps even better, since Blue Whale didn’t force residents to complete any mandatory tasks.

The immense benefits brought by the level-4 AI made residents of other hubs envy Fegg to no end.

If it weren’t for the wars plaguing Fegg, some people would undoubtedly have already considered migrating there!

And now Su Yu was saying that Blue Whale was going to upgrade?

If any hub could gain the coverage of a level-5 AI, who wouldn’t want that?

Which is why this could truly be described as earth-shattering news!
