CHAPTER 1117: CHAPTER 439: THOUGHTFUL DOU DOU

"Dou, just tell us what you want us to do. As for leaving our mark in history, Gu and I really don’t dare dream of it, but if you can truly point out a clear path, Gu and I definitely won’t hesitate."

Zhang Zhou said recklessly, and Gu Zhengliang nodded fiercely beside him.

They have witnessed Dou Dou’s wicked humor, but there’s no choice; their resistance is limited.

Thinking that they even brought out Qiao, hopefully, they won’t be too miserably tricked.

After all, the friendship from being roommates is there, and both believe Qiao Ze won’t just stand by. If Dou is really too much, they can always plead with Qiao Ze.

"Don’t act all so bitter and resentful. With your relationship with dad, I won’t play tricks on you. It’s actually quite simple. First, send an email to the professors who guaranteed your spot for graduate school, expressing your gratitude and saying you don’t want to attend due to personal reasons.

Then, apply in your own name to the school to attend my graduate program. That way, the institute can discuss whether artificial intelligence can qualify as a graduate supervisor. Given our dad’s current academic reputation, as long as the application is submitted, it will definitely be approved before you graduate.

So you will become the very first batch of master’s students trained by artificial intelligence in human civilization! Think about it, won’t your names be unavoidable in the future’s history of artificial intelligence development? Honestly, you’re so lucky, I’m a bit jealous!"

Dou Dou said, eyebrows dancing, while the two pitiful kids on the opposite side were left staring blankly.

So this is the record-breaking plan! Dou really is considerate, knowing their capabilities aren’t great, planning to open a back door for them.

But still feeling a bit overwhelmed.

If this thing were as easy as Dou claims, it probably wouldn’t require them to submit the application proactively.

Makes Dou seem all shy, but as an intelligence handling integration of dozens of labs and research centers nationwide, wouldn’t it submit the report itself? Does it still need them, such small fries, to apply actively?

Thus, Gu Zhengliang cautiously asked, "Um, Dou, does Qiao know about this?"

"Look at your question, isn’t it a trashy one? Do you think if my dear and great dad disagreed, this would pass the review?" Dou’s expression on the monitor turned serious.

That sounds reasonable, but still feels like nothing was said.

"Well, won’t the already confirmed mentors be upset if we decide not to attend?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you communicate! After all, I’m still your counselor! I’m telling you, no one can stop Qiao Class students from pursuing progress, not even the school’s professors!"

Dou Dou sternly and indignantly responded.

Having said all this, the two ignorant youths had no more questions.

Given that it’s noon, after a morning of classes, they were already hungry. It’s known that Dou isn’t afraid of hunger. With full power, even when the main power alarm goes off, the backup power can keep Dou energetically active all day.

Not to mention they’ve figured out that no matter what they ask, it’ll be classified as trash questions.

So Zhang Zhou immediately said, "Understood, Dou. Gu and I will go back and write the application report and then submit it to you for review."

...

In the Student Dining Hall Three, after two innocent youngsters had a few bites of rice, their brains became active again.

"Hey, Gu, why do I feel like Dou was hinting at something?"

"Do you have a misunderstanding about hints? This is blatantly obvious, okay! Dou wants to be a doctorate advisor, isn’t it crystal clear?"

"No cursing! What if Dou hears it?"

"What are you afraid of? Dou said as long as it isn’t said to its face, it takes our criticism as friendly remarks."

"Still feels a bit odd."

"Feeling odd is correct; Dou clearly sees us as pawns to test human tolerance of artificial intelligence, like seeing if AI can teach students as doctorate advisors."

"If that’s the case, we’re actually gaining something. As pioneers helping AI strive for doctorate advisory positions, it might not only be written in textbooks but also in history books!"

"Theoretically correct, but there’s just one issue."

"What issue?"

"If AI stands on the opposite side of humans in the future and initiates a doomsday battle, we’ll end up as standard human traitors. You think we deserve it? In Three-Body, only those big shots qualify as traitors, right? Us joining in, that’s kind of pushing it."

"Damn, Gu, you really think deep..."

"Eh? Zhang Zhou? Gu? Why are you eating so late today?"

As they were chatting fervently, a voice cut in powerfully. Zhang Zhou turned to look and saw the school’s celebrity Chen Yiwen standing behind them with a tray.

"Oh, Director Chen? You’re actually here in the cafeteria to eat?" Gu Zhengliang asked surprised.

Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang joined Qiao Class not long before Chen Yiwen moved out.

In his words, he couldn’t stand these two inexperienced guys preaching the culture of competitive driven kings in the dorm every day. But in truth, they both knew he’s trying to enjoy a world of two with Deng Tingting early on.

No choice, some people’s luck can’t be envied, only admitted.

Originally a landlord family, then conveniently invited by Qiao Ze to join the Group Wisdom team, their project won a national science and technology progress award, directly becoming a model figure in the school. Not lacking money means you can do whatever you want, and now he’s confirmed to be guaranteed to the philosophy department at Yanbei University.
