Chapter 731: Shaping Virtual Personality

Zhou Huai widened his eyes and sat up straight from the sofa.

The smart core ai 2.0 finally upgraded successfully?!

You must know that all his Clone were powerful, but they had always been limited by lacking an independent Soul, unable to comprehend their own Domain like truly top-tier experts.

And the upgrade of this smart core ai 2.0 was precisely the perfect solution given by the System!

In order to verify the effect after the upgrade, Zhou Huai impatiently stripped the Overlord Xiang Yu Clone inside his body out.

A stream of black, violent light flashed across the center of the hall.

Xiang Yu, standing zhang and two tall and holding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, abruptly appeared.

Zhou Huai stared at Xiang Yu's face.

He noticed that the change was too obvious!

It could be seen that Xiang Yu's gaze obviously had more luster than before.

No matter how astonishing the combat power of past Clone was, when there was no active control from Zhou Huai's consciousness, his eyes were dull and hollow.

But now, within Xiang Yu's double pupils, there was unexpectedly the liveliness belonging to a living person!

"Bang!"

Xiang Yu actively put away his long halberd and heavily knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Huai.

He raised his head, that resolute face filled with loyalty and awe, and a low, resonant voice echoed within the hall.

"Subordinate Xiang Yu pays respects to Master!"

Zhou Huai nodded with satisfaction and laughed, "Interesting, he really looks more like a living person than before."

But just having lively eyes and knowing how to say polite words was far from enough; the true core lay in whether he could Breakthrough the seventy-level Domain barrier.

Zhou Huai no longer hesitated, sending an urgent inquiry to the System in his mind: "System, now the smart core ai has already upgraded to 2.0, how should we shape the independent personality of the Clone? What is the specific operational workflow?"

"Ding—"

"The System has detected that the Clone [Overlord Xiang Yu] has met the personality activation conditions, and is deploying the [Personality Editor] for the host."

In front of Zhou Huai, the Void Realm rippled slightly, and a translucent light curtain emitting a light blue halo emerged out of thin air.

At the top of the panel, five large characters were extremely eye-catching—Personality Editor.

The System's cold, mechanical voice explained in detail within Zhou Huai's mind: "The host can input the 'life resume' of this Clone in text form within the editor. The System will extract these texts, generate immersive memories with realistic pictures, and directly instill them into the Clone's Sea of Consciousness."

"These memories generated based on text will become the cornerstone for shaping the Clone's virtual personality. When the memories are thoroughly Fusion, the Clone will be able to possess its own 'obsessive thought' and 'Soul thickness', thereby crossing the threshold of level seventy and comprehending its exclusive Domain."

Zhou Huai stared at the panel in front of him, a trace of sudden realization flashing through his eyes, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "So that's how it is… I understand."

"A person's personality is actually just an empty shell. What truly fills this empty shell and shapes a unique Soul is memories and experiences."

He touched his chin, his gaze becoming profound, "Those traumas of childhood, the arrogance of youth, the glory of Peak, the despair at the bottom of the valley… It is precisely these bit-by-bit experiences that transform into the nourishment of memories, bit by bit changing a person's attitude toward handling affairs in the world, ultimately forming an uncopiable personality."

"A person without a past is just like a blank sheet of paper; it is completely impossible for them to comprehend the Domain power containing the rules of heaven and earth. The System is asking me to personally draw this heavy and colorful stroke for them!"

Having figured this out, Zhou Huai took a deep breath.

"In that case, let's start with you, Xiang Yu."

Zhou Huai had Jasmine step down, sitting alone on the sofa in the hall, his hands rapidly tapping on the virtual keyboard on the light curtain.

He didn't just write a few casual sentences to perfunctorily get by, but instead invested one hundred percent of his energy.

In order to make Xiang Yu's personality full enough and three-dimensional enough, Zhou Huai poured almost all the details about that Hegemon-King of Western Chu in his past life memories into the editor without reservation.

"When he was young, he failed to learn calligraphy, so he went to learn swordsmanship, and failed again. Xiang Liang was furious. Yu said: 'Calligraphy is enough only to record names and surnames. Swordsmanship is enough to defeat one person, not worth learning; learn to defeat ten thousand men.'"

"His might lifted the hills, his Qi overrode the world…"

From the unbridled arrogance and strength capable of lifting cauldrons in his youth; to the high-spirited vigor when raising troops in Kuaiji; and then to the Battle of Julu, burning the boats and breaking the cauldrons, winning more with less, emerging victorious in all nine battles, shaking the world with his might, where all the feudal lords and generals crawled forward on their knees, none daring to look up.

Zhou Huai's fingers danced on the light curtain, as if carving an peerless work of art.

He wrote of Xiang Yu's deep loyalty and righteousness, wrote of his indecisiveness, wrote of letting the tiger back to the mountains at the Feast at Hong Gate, and also wrote of his frantic exhaustion during the Chu-Han Contention.

He even wrote of that peerless swan song, the Siege of Gaixia.

Songs of Chu on all sides, ambush on ten sides.

Flowing with thousands of characters, Zhou Huai wrote for a full three-plus hours.

He rubbed his somewhat sore wrists, looked at the densely packed resume on the light curtain, and let out a long breath of turbid air: "Hoo… In this way, his pride, his fearlessness, his tragic heroism, and his final regrets are all complete."

"System, submit the resume, begin transformation!"

"Ding—Resume submission successful, currently generating realistic memory images for the Clone [Overlord Xiang Yu], and memory synchronization shared with the host."

As soon as the voice fell, the editor panel transformed into countless dark blue points of light, frantically surging into the center of the brows of the single-knee-kneeling Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu's stalwart body suddenly trembled, his eyes tightly closed, and the muscles on his face began to twitch violently.

At the same time, Zhou Huai only felt a loud roar in his mind, his consciousness instantly pulled into an incomparably realistic illusion!

He similarly saw those pictures!

Yellow sand filled the sky, iron armor and galloping horses.

From a God's perspective, Zhou Huai witnessed with his own eyes a robust youth lifting a thousand-jin heavy cauldron in the courtyard, looking down proudly on all the heroes: "As for this world, I, Xiang Ji, shall replace it!"

The scene shifted to the bank of the Zhang River, filled with lingering mist.

Xiang Yu stood atop the high platform, clad in heavy armor, his eyes like torches, pulling out the long sword at his waist and severing the wooden boat in front of him with a single stroke: "Smash the cauldrons and sink the boats, burn down the houses, and bring three days of dry rations! In this battle, there is only advancement and no retreat, only death and no life! If we do not break the Qin army, we swear not to return home!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The heaven-shaking battle cries seemed to pierce Zhou Huai's eardrums, and that resolute Battle Intent of burning boats and breaking cauldrons, putting life and death out of consideration, made even an outsider like Zhou Huai feel his blood boiling.

Following closely, the images flowed rapidly—that was the irresistible destruction of the Battle of Pengcheng, the supreme glory of the feudal lords submitting.

In that memory, Xiang Yu was the unbridled God of War, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu overlooking the world!
