Chapter 50 - Artistic Interpretation of History (Part 1)
[Hello]
His exclusive beautiful robot maid came over with a smile.
[Would you like to have a meal, prepare for the exam or a duel?]
"Fuuu..." Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, a somewhat normal conversation.
Before two seconds passed though, the robot beauty continued:
[Oh, if you're interested in participating in the discussions on the topic

"Ah———"
"I'd like to have a meal!" Luo Bai grimaced, his eyes wide and fixed, holding his breath as he spoke in a deep, subdued tone.
""
[Understood. This way please.]
The robot number, ID number 4275, didn't hear the resentment in his voice, and had a reassuring smile on her face.
Luo Bai soon followed 4275 to the dining area of the card shop.
The entire restaurant used an AI control system, with the music changing with the lighting, creating a calm and serene atmosphere, completely different from the chaotic shouting outside.
Each seat was equipped with a smart screen, allowing guests to browse the menu, select dishes, adjust seats and lighting, and more.
On the walls, exhibition screens, and table edges, two emblematic patterns could be seen———-
[Here is your Five-Three set.]
4275 served up a lunch, her voice as sweet as it was beautiful.
However, hearing the words "Five-Three" made Luo Bai shiver with a primal sense of dread.
There was a deep, soul-stirring reverence.
He just finished high school exams on Earth, but now there's "Five-Three" too!?
Around him, students preparing for exams had one hand holding skewered meat, while the other swiped through screens, their eyes darting up and down with the questions. Their brows furrowed slightly in concentration, and the skewers of meat they held were gradually losing their warmth as they became focused...
"Different worlds, same direction."
Luo Bai sighed softly and unpacked his lunch.
The fruit platter featured grapes, strawberries, and pineapple, seasoned with honey or grapefruit juice.
The main course included roasted chicken breast and tomato pasta.
Lettuce, bean sprouts, and broccoli were mixed in the table's built-in mini hot plate, stir-fried with olive oil until slightly cooked, then seasoned with salt and pepper.
For dessert, there was chocolate mousse and a glass of lemon mint water.
[Please enjoy.]
4275, after finishing the cooking, brought the steaming lunch and refreshing drink to Luo Bai with a smile.
[Is there anything else I can assist you with?]
Luo Bai stared at her, a bit dazed, as if he were looking at an angel.
To put it mildly, no one had ever been so considerate to him in his life.
"Umm..." At that moment, a rather silly question suddenly popped in Luo Bai's mind.
"Do you have a name?"
4275 was momentarily stunned by his question, her eyes widening slightly. She then flashed a programmed standard smile and replied:
[Sir, we are robots.]
[You can call me by my ID, 4275.]
For some reason, 4275's smile became a bit bittersweet. She then provided Luo Bai with a more detailed explanation.
This was not part of her work program but was caused by a "bug" related to something called "emotions."
[According to Alliance regulations, we are not allowed to have names.]
[We have to undergo annual updates, and these updates require clearing the original database.]
For AI like her, the database is akin to human memory; clearing it is almost like death.
[If we acquire a name...]
She looked at Luo Bai, her slender fingers brushing her hair. Her smile was gentle and her eyes sparkled with warmth, as she tilted her head slightly, playfully resting her finger on her dimple.
[If we had a name...]
[We would feel reluctant to let them go.]
"Thump!"
Luo Bai's heart skipped a beat, his cheeks flushed, and he quickly turned his gaze away.
He got freaking charmed by a robot!
"Oh... Okay, got it." Luo Bai mumbled, lowering his head to eat, feeling slightly flustered.
[Alright, if you need anything, just call me.]
After 4275 smiled and said this, she stepped back and left the restaurant.
"Whew…" Luo Bai took a moment to catch his breath.
He was still too inexperienced; he actually got charmed by a robot.
He picked up his tomato pasta, speared a piece of broccoli, and set up his tablet, searching for something to watch while he ate.
Eating while reviewing is impossible.
It's impossible to pass the test. In that case, he'll embrace the exam without any preparation!
"Must-watch video?"
"Art film?"
"History of Biantana?"
Luo Bai took a bite of pasta, his expression slightly puzzled.
Luo Bai had been in Biantana for most of the day and still hadn't learned about the basic history of this world.
He could never stop once he started playing cards!
"Let me see what the duel world has gone through." Luo Bai said, slurping his noodles as he leisurely opened a video.
To make understanding easier, some genius had the idea of presenting world history in the form of an [art film], showing it from the perspective of a "protagonist".
The film began slowly, with two lines of red warning text appearing.
The consciousness of Biantana began with thousands of years of endless warfare between humans and the wild beasts.
Humans, using their advanced intelligence, fought against the unreasonable brute force, recovery, and reproductive abilities of the beasts.
But contrary to their hopes, humans were steadily defeated, suffering heavy casualties, and ultimately became livestock, domesticated for a thousand years.
That is, until 1048 years ago, the
Soon after, the
Later generations referred to this year as the beginning of the New Spirit Era.
With their intelligence, humans soon discovered the function of the
However, the Sacred Steles were too large to carry into battle.
In the 75th year of the New Spirit Era, humanity discovered that the wild beast crystal cores could carry

In the 88th year of the New Spirit Era, someone finally managed to stabilize the control of the Card Spirits after shattering the cards.

This is the "protagonist" of the film, a genius Card Master!
Under the leadership of the "protagonist", humanity began to madly hunt wild beasts to make Magic Cards. Meanwhile, in order to advance, the wild beasts also coveted the high concentration of Ba within the
The war intensified, and the world's map was divided.
The precursor to the
For the first time, humanity and the wild beasts faced a balance of power.
That is until the 204th year of the New Spirit Era, the most bizarre, terrifying, and intriguing event in history occurred.
Most events have faded into the annals of history, but this event remains deeply etched into the bones of every person.
New Spirit Era, Year 204, August 2.
It was an ordinary, peaceful day: the sky was clear, people were grilling lamb and singing, life in the battle fortresses was resilient and self-sufficient... when suddenly!
Time instantaneously jumped forward a hundred years.
Children turned into old people, youth became skeletons, and the elderly vanished without a trace.
Buildings aged and collapsed, machinery oxidized and was covered in mottled rust, and withered trees gained a hundred new rings.
The "protagonist" stared blankly around, his face lined with the wrinkles of time.
The fortress was a wasteland of gray dust, with all life in ruin. Inside the laboratory, the carbon clock showed that a full hundred years had passed.
Creatures with lifespans shorter than a hundred years instantly perished; not a single flower, grass, fish, or dog survived.
The lower-tier life forms were wiped out.
The food chain broke, and the ecological cycle collapsed.
This event came to be known in later generations as————
