Chapter 180 The Chip
[: Daniel POV :]
"This Tessera is the pivotal invention that will revolutionize the world, and thanks to Modern Fantasia, the possibilities we can explore with the Tessera are truly boundless,"
Mom declared with conviction with her voice resonating across the room.
"Once the Tessera is unleashed, the entire world will be within our grasp,"
She declared, her words wielding an undeniable power that ignited a fervent excitement within the audience.
Her assertive proclamation left the room buzzing with anticipation and an electric energy.
"However, there's another invention that we will be launching alongside the Tessera,"
She announced, dropping a surprise that caught the audience off guard.
Their expressions shifted to a mix of surprise and intrigue.
The audience who were well-versed in the knowledge of the creation of the Tessera, were completely caught off guard by this revelation.
However, this unexpected announcement left them in a state of bewilderment, having no prior knowledge or even a hint about this additional creation.
The room filled with an air of anticipation and curiosity, as everyone waited in suspense to learn more about this unexpected revelation.
Now, with the sudden introduction of a new invention, they couldn't help but be curious about it.
"Now, as you can see, what I have here is a chip,"
She revealed, displaying a tiny chip, scarcely an inch in size, which she held up for everyone to see.
To aid in understanding, a holographic screen projected a clear and enlarged image of the chip's appearance.
As she continued, the holographic screen displayed intricate details, providing the visual of the chip.
With precision and expertise, she began to elaborate on the specifics and functionality of the chip, revealing its capabilities and purpose to the intrigued audience.
Each detail explained further the potential applications of this previously undisclosed creation.
She held up a small, intricately designed chip, its surface reflecting the ambient light.
She began explaining, "This chip isn't just an ordinary piece of technology; it's the core that serves as the gateway to Tessera."
Her words, though brief, sparked a wave of curiosity and discussion among those gathered.
Sensing the increasing confusion and a flurry of questions, she recognized the necessity to delve deeper into the complex nature of the innovation.
"It might seem perplexing at first, but allow me to shed more light on this breakthrough,"
She offered, acknowledging the complexity and their need for a clearer explanation.
As she stood at the forefront, she seized the moment to provide a foundational explanation.
"Let me start by introducing Tessera, a groundbreaking invention that embodies Artificial Intelligence,"
She began, her voice filled with a blend of confidence and enthusiasm.
"And this chip," she continued, raising it to emphasize its significance, "is the core that establishes a direct connection to Tessera, presenting a multitude of unique advantages."
"Its advantages are profound and diverse,"
She explained as she gazed around the attentive audience, "ranging from fortifying the immune system, enhancing physical well-being, and even elevating thinking abilities."
Her words seemed to have cast a spell, as every pair of eyes fixated on her, captivated by the potential implications of this revolutionary technology.
"Sure, in the realm of Modern Fantasia skills, this might not seem like a major breakthrough, and I get that."
Her smile hinted at a deeper insight, inviting a sense of shared understanding among the listeners.
Leaning in slightly, she continued, aiming to explain the true essence of the core.
"However, the real game-changer about this chip isn't just about its initial function,"
She explained, her expression turning more earnest.
"What truly sets it apart is its built-in intelligence, offering a range of invaluable assistance and support for us."
Her words, though simpler in context, carried a weight of potential and promise.
It underlines the chip's unique capability to autonomously aid and serve its users.
With a sense of clarity, she simplified the chip's potential, "This little chip can access information linked to Tessera and even comes with an auto-battle feature"
"The AI embedded within can make the best decisions during battles."
Her words unveiled previously unheard capabilities, evoking a sense of wonder.
These aspects of the chip, embedded with AI in our minds are something unthinkable.
I've never encountered anything quite like it, especially in my glimpses of the alternate future.
Such skills had never existed before.
"In reality, this chip has limitations and will be shared only with those I deem trustworthy,"
She explained, her words carrying a subtle weight that hinted at a deeper implication.
A silent exchange of knowing glances passed between the VIPs, their mutual understanding evident without the need for words or direct answers.
It was clear that her statement resonated with them, and they comprehended the implicit criteria for the privileged few who would gain access to this groundbreaking technology.
"This essentially means they'll assist in my work, something we've all agreed on from the start,"
She clarified, emphasizing their prior consensus.
"Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of the event, and let's anticipate this New Age together,"
She concluded with a confident declaration.
As if in synchronous agreement, one of them raised their glass.
The others quickly followed suit, and in unison, they toasted, "For a New Age," marking the beginning of a collective celebration and anticipation for what lay ahead.
Stepping into the backstage area, I was greeted by my mom's radiant smile the instant she laid eyes on me.
Her face lit up with anticipation and excitement.
"How did it go, my dear? What did you think of my speech?"
She inquired eagerly, her smile beaming as if she anticipated my glowing review.
The warmth in her expression conveyed both a mother's curiosity and a hint of longing for approval.
"Mom, it was really good, absolutely terrific,"
I complimented, returning her infectious smile and noticing how it widened at my words.
"Ah, before I forget," She continued, reaching into her pocket.
"Here's the customized chip we've had made, using the highest-grade materials and resources we could acquire through your connections."
Handing the chip to me, I saw a mix of excitement and gratitude flicker across her face, a testament to the effort put into obtaining the best for this groundbreaking innovation.
Receiving the gleaming golden chip from her, a sense of intrigue washed over me.
The allure of this invention was too compelling to disregard, prompting an intriguing thought.
Why not integrate this chip into my own being?
The more I pondered, the more the idea gained traction.
According to her explanation, the chip was akin to a pill, its microchip cells designed to integrate seamlessly into our bloodstream upon ingestion.
It will ultimately merge with our body's natural systems.
The prospect of such a seamless fusion intrigued me, compelling me to seriously consider the possibility of incorporating this groundbreaking technology within myself.
As I contemplated the golden chip in my hand, her words resonated in my mind.
The chip's effects varied based on an individual's compatibility.
The higher the compatibility, the greater the potential specifications of the chip.
The notion of this chip being akin to a system hack intrigued me.
However, a new concern arose.
Could it potentially influence or interact with the complex system of Modern Fantasia?
It dawned on me that the intersection of this chip with the intricacies of Modern Fantasia might unravel an entirely different story.
Despite the complexities and uncertainties, a resolute thought crossed my mind.
There was nothing to deliberate at this moment.
This project had been a culmination of my mom and Tess's long-term dedication and collaborative effort.
The magnitude of their work had piqued my interest, particularly regarding the potential effects of these chips.
With a sense of curiosity, I realized that delving into this innovation and understanding its effects had become a priority.
Looking at the chip, I had no more hesitation and I swallowed it through my throat.
The moment I swallowed, I didn't feel anything.
However, a huge change had occurred.
