Guding bent down to pick up the wristwatch, "Is this the smart wristwatch used by pirates?"
An ordinary civilian smart wristwatch is actually something every Federation member has, with only some basic functions, such as communication and internet access. Guding was no exception; he already had a smart wristwatch on his left wrist, which was given to him when his adoptive father registered him with the Federation government's population management department.
However, ordinary civilian smart wristwatches are different from military and pirate wristwatches. Military wristwatches can connect to the military network, record military achievements, and purchase military supplies. Pirate wristwatches have similar functions, allowing access to the black market network to buy items and information.
However, all smart wristwatches have the same protection feature. If they are removed from the host without the host's consent, all information is automatically erased, and the wristwatch undergoes irreversible formatting and power cut. To use a wristwatch that has lost its owner, it must be returned to the Federation government for re-registration and activation. The wristwatch will not retain any information from the previous owner.
Although Guding knew it wouldn't work, he still tried it out by putting the wristwatch on his right wrist.
"Beep, detecting host."
The sudden voice startled Guding. According to the rules, if the owner of a smart wristwatch dies and it is not re-registered and activated, it should not respond when worn by someone else.

After a series of tests, Guding felt a pain in his wrist, knowing that the smart wristwatch was drawing blood to recognize its new owner.
As soon as the recognition was complete, a sudden voice came to Guding's ear, sounding like a little boy. "This woman is only pretending to be dead. If you stay here for 1 minute and 32 seconds, the probability of her killing you on the spot is 97.65%, the probability of being captured alive is 2.11%, the probability of being severely injured and permanently disabled is 0.24%, and the probability of successfully escaping is 0."
"Who?" Guding asked, but his feet didn't slow down. He quickly left the scene. He had already seen how powerful that crazy woman was, and he was no match for her now.
"I am the 'smart wristwatch' on your right hand. By the way, the baby gadget on your left hand can retire. There's a trash can 76 meters to the right. Throw it in. I've already cleaned up all your information." As the voice faded, the civilian smart wristwatch on Guding's left wrist automatically fell off.
Guding caught it and threw it into the trash can, muttering to himself, "A pirate's smart wristwatch is actually this smart..."
"First, I want to thank you for your praise. My intelligence is unmatched by any creature or non-creature in your universe. Second, I need to correct two of your mistakes. That pirate is not my owner. Also, I am not a smart wristwatch; I just disguised myself as one. In fact, I am a super intelligent life form, similar to your SkyNet."
As the little boy's voice continued, the wristwatch on Guding's right hand suddenly transformed into a metal fluid, wrapping around his left hand, and then reformed into the same shape as Guding's original civilian smart wristwatch.
This scene gave Guding a new understanding of the device on his wrist. While it's possible to buy AI services on a smart wristwatch for a high price, a smart wristwatch cannot transform or move on its own. But if it were a life form like SkyNet, everything would make sense.
Although Guding didn't know much about SkyNet, he knew that the entire Federation government's operations were assisted by SkyNet. All smart wristwatches, smart rings, and other products were controlled by SkyNet. Even the underground network of pirates was just a special area within SkyNet. SkyNet, in this era, was omnipresent and omnipotent.
"What functions do you have?" Guding still had some doubts about the other's self-praise. After all, SkyNet's power was well-known. If the wristwatch in his hand was indeed a super intelligent life form like SkyNet, its capabilities would be formidable.
"Currently, I am in the initial activation stage, which, in human terms, is the infant stage, very young. Many functions are restricted, and a large number of database permissions cannot be opened."
"Due to insufficient permissions, besides the basic AI functions, I currently have two additional functions: the first is called the Universal Key, which can unlock everything in the universe, including all prison doors of the Federation government, military databases, network permissions, gene locks, various energy seals, and even ancient civilization restrictions. However, this function currently has only basic permissions, so its effects are limited."
"The second function is more practical for you at the moment. It is an information database containing a large amount of ancient civilization data. Currently, it also has only basic permissions, but it should be enough for you to use."
"Is there a tutorial for alchemists?" Guding couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, these data are well-preserved and can at least train you to become a gene alchemy master."
"Gene alchemy master!" Guding's eyes lit up.
After all, even in this era of stellar navigation, gene alchemy is an extremely valuable item. Even a low-grade F-level qualified gene alchemy can sell for thousands of star coins, which, converted to the currency of the Blue Sea Planet, is several million. It's enough for an ordinary family to live a carefree life for a lifetime. Guding's current monthly salary is only 5 star coins.
"It seems I need to find some time to study it. Even a regular alchemist is a profitable profession, let alone a gene alchemist. And it doesn't conflict with becoming a pirate." Guding muttered for a moment, then frowned, "Can you access the military or black market network?"
Although most materials for gene alchemy can be bought, some special materials can only be obtained by the military or pirates. Civilian wristwatches cannot access military or black market networks, so Guding asked this question.
"The smart wristwatch on that woman's hand, who was pretending to be dead, was infiltrated by me, allowing me to successfully enter the black market network. I also gained some unexpected benefits, which I can give you as a gift."
"Gift? What is it?" Guding immediately showed great interest.
"The woman's storage space and all the items in it." The super intelligent life form sounded a bit proud.
The so-called storage space is a spatial storage technology developed by SkyNet, connecting each wristwatch to a small space, with the wristwatch serving as the key to open the space. Once the wristwatch's owner dies and the wristwatch detects no life signs, it will show a deep sleep state. Once the wristwatch is removed, the storage space will automatically disintegrate, and the items inside will be shredded by spatial turbulence. The super intelligent life form, however, hijacked SkyNet's detection during the wristwatch's sleep period, infiltrated the wristwatch of the woman pretending to be dead, and took everything over.
Under the control of the super intelligent life form, everything in the storage space was presented to Guding.
"Such a large volume!" Guding couldn't help but exclaim.
Ordinary civilian wristwatches have an initial storage space of only one cubic meter. To increase the space, additional purchases are required, and expanding the storage space is very expensive. The storage space in front of Guding was nearly twenty cubic meters, and it was already mostly occupied by various items, leaving only about three to four cubic meters of space.
"I have merged the one cubic meter you originally had and placed the items together. Do you want to clean up the useless items?" The super intelligent life form referred to the colorful women's undergarments and other items.
In just a moment, the useless items were thrown into the spatial turbulence and cleaned up completely.
"Do you have a name?" Guding couldn't help but ask, as the other claimed to be a super intelligent life form, and Guding guessed it should have a name like SkyNet.
Asked this question, the super intelligent life form was silent for a moment, "I searched the existing data. According to the data, I was never used before and was not given a name. As my first owner, you can name me."
"Alright, my dream is to one day become a great space pirate, sailing the cosmic sea with my companions. I'll name you Sea Emperor." Guding thought for a moment and suggested.
