...This? This makes Yang Ming difficult. Judging from the compact size compared to the original version, Helena seems to really meet the conditions as a pet, but is she a living person?
"How rude."
Helena's voice came out from the Philosopher's Stone, and then the whole stone began to quickly turn into a stream of light, gathering on Carter's palm, showing the posture of a villain. She continued,
"Whether it is or not, I allow you to find a new pet."
"Yeah, okay."
Carters nodded and replied,
"I won't look for new pets. The master is enough."
"Huh, that's pretty much it."
Helena crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and raised her head to the side. Her posture seemed to be sulking, but the emotions revealed in her words were mainly ridiculing.
I thought that the matter should come to an end at this point. Yang Ming was about to get up and call everyone back to the residence to start tidying up the room. However, at this time, Ai Xueer suddenly put her hands on the table, stood up, and leaned towards Helena.
Surprised and said:
"Eh?! Something's wrong. According to the interface display here, the system seems to have determined that Miss Helena is a pet."
"Huh? What the hell?"
Helena was confused by these words, but she didn't care very much and said,
"Forget it, pets are just pets. I don't care. If you can find a way to kill that guy, it doesn't matter what the process is."
The resentment towards her enemies has diluted many of Helena's other emotions. The main reason why she is able to work so hard beside Yang Ming is because she promised to help her get rid of the extraordinary being known as the 'Golden Law'.
Although the final outcome may be difficult to say, after all, it also involves Yang's problem... Generally speaking, you don't need to pay too much attention to it at this stage, but Yang Ming can actually understand what Ai Xueer said, because she really has the original game
visual interface system.
In this dream world, Ai Xueer can see a lot of information that others cannot detect, so she said that Helena was judged to be a pet, which is not false.
But for Yang Ming, what really makes him feel weird about this series of settings is not that there is something wrong with Helena's villainous posture being mistaken for a pet by the system, but...
"Miss Helena's current situation is more complicated. The system's judgment may be just a condition, but there is one thing that I find strange."
Sitting on the chair again, Ai Xueer also adjusted her forward leaning posture to sit properly. After gathering her thoughts, Yang Ming asked,
"Can humans, or intelligent life, become pets?"
An extraordinary being like Helena's body is made of different materials than ordinary humans. It's hard to say whether the system can treat her as a human being. However, using the qualifier of intelligent life can expand the scope a lot.
Generally speaking, most monsters and aliens can be regarded as animals, and there is no need to consider the issue of intelligence too much. However, since human beings have developed so far and experienced the high-intensity foreign wars in the past, most of the non-human creatures that can survive to this day are some.
Skilled.
Although they may not necessarily have intelligence, they most likely have cognitive abilities for the human race and can be used as pets. To some extent, it is for survival needs and they can distinguish what they are doing.
If there are really intelligent individuals among these pets, then for what purpose would they do this? It is difficult to speculate on the entanglement of factors involved.
"sure."
Ai Xueer's answer was very decisive, as if it were natural, she said,
"It is indeed possible to catch intelligent life forms as pets. That's why the system regards Miss Helena as a 'pet'. After all, she meets the criteria in all aspects."
"Is this really okay?"
Yang Ming still feels very surprised. There is a huge difference between whether there is wisdom or not. Even if the relationship between owner and pet is maintained, communication and contact are inevitable. How to balance the ethics and morals involved is a very delicate matter.
things.
"Is there any problem?"
When Ai Xueer heard this, she felt very strange, but she still looked innocent and said,
"Don't we need to pay more attention to the authenticity of intimate communication? The game has artificial intelligence simulated conversation content directly built into it. Chatting with pets is still very interesting."
She still didn't seem to focus on the deeper reasons, but if she thought about it carefully, Yang Ming's own concepts should be more influenced by the experience before time travel. Although most of the specific memories of life at the time were vague,
The basic content of conceptual and intellectual content also includes impressions.
Maybe this is the attitude towards aliens in this universe. As the human race that is absolutely superior to all others, all other non-human races will be treated equally. Even if they have wisdom, they must obey the will of the ruler.
The reason why Yang Ming still has a grudge against aliens is mainly due to his past battle experience. He has seen many powerful people before. They are either pure aliens or non-human races in the strict sense, which are so-called alien races.
The excessive combat power made Yang Ming subconsciously feel that he should not be too arrogant and enslaving towards such life forms. However, after all, those strong people are extraordinary beings that have been active since ancient times and are not universal in nature.
Moreover, the love for pets among humans on the Magic Continent is very obvious, and most of them have truly developed positive feelings such as dependence, trust, and understanding on each other.
So in this land, just follow the relevant internal rules and don't worry too much about the opinions of the outside world. Maybe for those aliens with intelligence, they just treat becoming pets out of a service attitude.
What about things.
Through the change of self-perception, Yang Ming solved the relevant knots, no longer entangled in the truth of the problem, and planned to actively participate in it, so he said:
"Okay, I know about the existence of intelligent creatures as pets, so I want to know more about it. Will such pets be more difficult to obtain, or more powerful?"
"Of course. In fact, if you look at the passers-by we saw before, the pets they brought with them were not intelligent beings."
Ai Xueer looked around, and Yang Ming and others also observed the scenes in all directions. They judged subjectively that the pets of pedestrians on the road generally behaved like ordinary animals, and it was almost impossible to think of them as intelligent.
