Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Within a minute, the machine sounded again, “The system is loading. Turning on the screen mode.”

As the robot’s voice fell, a virtual blue three-dimensional screen was cast in mid-air.

Words appeared from left to right—

[Papillary Binding] — [Butler Mode] [Scientific Research Mode] [Omnipotent Mode]

Cheng Juan was still looking lazily with a hand on his chin.

Qin Ran glanced at Cheng Huo and stuffed her hands in her pockets. She raised an eyebrow and said casually, “It’s artificial intelligence, get it?”

Cheng Huo was speechless.

He couldn’t say a single word.

He lowered his head, feeling like a fool for spinning around EA3 the whole afternoon.

Cheng Shui also put down his chopsticks in surprise.

These days, many IT companies had developed intelligent systems, but many were pseudo-intelligent, and even if there was a chat system, it still needed a master switch to turn on.

They had researched the whole afternoon and had even gone to the auction house. They even wanted to go to the Yunguang Consortium to ask for instructions, but in the end, it could be solved with one sentence?!

Only Cheng Mu glanced at it calmly and finished the last bite of rice in his bowl.

“Miss Qin, I’m going to the training ground.” He put down his chopsticks and greeted Qin Ran and Cheng Juan with his swollen face before leaving.

Qin Ran nodded. “Go on.”

Cheng Mu paused when he passed by Cheng Huo, who was still stunned.

Glancing at Cheng Huo, he turned and said to EA3, “EA3, do you have a name?”

[Xiao Hei.]

Cheng Mu nodded. It was the same generation as Xiao Er. He continued walking towards the training ground.

Except for his slightly swollen face, his expression was as wooden as before.

Cheng Huo really felt like Cheng Mu had done this on purpose.

After staring at him, he finally reached out and ran a hand through his face. Then, he turned to look at Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, you’re… incredible.”

The system had now been activated and Cheng Huo also understood how to handle EA3.

There was nothing more that needed to be said, so Qin Ran went upstairs to change her clothes and head to the training ground.

“I feel like such a fool…” Cheng Huo said bitterly, glancing at Cheng Shui and Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan folded his hands and nodded without saying anything.

Now that EA3 was activated, Cheng Huo didn’t even want to continue eating. He let Xiao Hei introduce its functions, and when it was binding its system, he let it scan Cheng Juan’s pupils.

“Binding successful. Turning on omnipotent mode.”

Cheng Huo was simply rapt in wonder. “Boss, can our hall study this robot first?”

Cheng Juan nodded and gave him the go-ahead.

Cheng Huo hurriedly got up to head to the information hall. When he was about to leave, he remembered something and stopped abruptly to look back at Cheng Juan, who was going up the stairs. “Boss, you used the boxing machine in the morning, right?”

Speaking of this, Cheng Shui also glanced at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow and replied very calmly, “No, it wasn’t me.”

Then, he continued heading upstairs.

When Cheng Huo heard this, he paused and turned to Cheng Shui. “Did I just hear wrongly?”

If it wasn’t Cheng Juan, who else could score 1321?

Cheng Shui was also silent for a while. He knew about the mercenaries, while Cheng Huo didn’t…

“Maybe it was… Miss Qin,” Cheng Shui pondered for a moment before saying very seriously.

Staggering, Cheng Huo looked up slowly. “Brother, are you serious?”

Cheng Shui glanced lightly at him.

Cheng Huo was speechless.

He was dead.

**

Qin Ran was still training Cheng Mu.

Gu Xichi had sent a large pack of medicines this time. Shi Liming felt like he could never take so many medicines in his entire life.

But today, Cheng Mu ate a few pills of various medicines. It amounted to about 40 or 50 pills, far exceeding the amount an ordinary person should have in a week…

Shi Liming had seen Cheng Mu getting up with difficulty and fighting for his breath just an hour ago, but now, he stood up again vigorously to train with Qin Ran. He lowered his head and recorded his current state in his notebook, his expression blank.

Qin Ran didn’t fight Cheng Mu this time. She touched her chin and then glanced at Shi Liming. “You fight him.”

Shi Liming pointed to himself. “Me?”

Cheng Mu had only trained for one day.

“Yes, give it your best shot.” Qin Ran folded her arms and stepped back, motioning for Shi Liming to fight Cheng Mu.

Shi Liming put down his pen and notebook.

He had deliberately gone easy on Cheng Mu previously, but since Qin Ran wanted him to use his full strength, he squeezed his wrists and was ready to exert all his capacity.

“Brother Cheng Mu, be careful!” He struck a punch at lightning speed.

At present, Cheng Mu had only been training for one day, so of course, he couldn’t beat Shi Liming. However, Shi Liming was deeply shocked by his progress while fighting with him. Cheng Mu had really pulled his socks up compared to last time. He was laying his life on the line! Furthermore, Cheng Mu had even eaten a bunch of the magical medicines given by Qin Ran!

Qin Ran’s special training had been effective.

Shi Liming felt even more jealous and focused on hitting Cheng Mu’s face.

Cheng Huo took Xiao Hei back to the information hall.

He began to connect Xiao Hei’s intelligence to the computer terminal.

Xiao Hei stood beside him, almost the same as in the afternoon.

Cheng Shui glanced at it. He didn’t understand code very much and played with Xiao Hei for a while before leaving.

After a while, Jerry came in with his computer. “Mr. Cheng Huo, the auction house has replied!”

They hadn’t dared move Xiao Hei in the afternoon, and other than Tang Qing’s uncle, Cheng Huo had also asked Jerry to contact the auction house to ask the owner for instructions on the robot.

Jerry had only just gotten a reply.

Cheng Huo typed in a string of codes and studied the robot carefully. He was immersed in the codes and only looked up when he heard Jerry’s voice.

“What did they say?” He reached out and massaged his temples, instructing Jerry to place the computer on the table.

The reply from the auction house flashed on the computer screen.

Because Cheng Juan had been the one to buy it, the auction house knew of the seriousness of the matter and had specially asked the auctioneer about it. They had taken a screenshot of the seller’s reply—

[My apologies, but we don’t know how to use it. This artificial intelligence robot is probably a guise put up by the Yunguang Consortium. Otherwise, why are there only three EA robots? Thank you to the buyer who spent more than ten million to buy our EA3.]

Then, there was the official reply from the auction house: [Our apologies, dearest Mr. Jerry…]

Jerry thumped the table angrily and his eyes flashed red. “Mr. Cheng Huo, this auctioneer has obviously taken us for a ride! I must find out who he is!”

How dare they mess with them.

Cheng Huo’s temper was just as hot as the others. The whole information hall had bad tempers and easily bore grudges.

Jerry originally thought Cheng Huo would also be furious, but unexpectedly, he just leaned back in his chair and laughed.

“Mr. Cheng Huo?” Jerry called softly, wondering if he had been shocked stupid.

Without saying a word, Cheng Huo took out his phone and turned on his camera to record a video.

“Xiao Hei, pour two glasses of water.”

The little black eyes that had been motionless lit up slightly. “Okay, Mr. Cheng Huo.”

Its prototype was designed according to real people, so it didn’t feel as robotic as the ordinary robots on the market.

It quickly poured two glasses of water. Cheng Huo took one glass and motioned for Jerry to take the other.

Jerry… was very stiff.

“Xiao Hei, count the latest population number of Continent M.” He continued commanding it casually.

Twenty seconds later, a black three-dimensional projection screen appeared in front of Xiao Hei.

The top row showed the total number of people while the bottom showed the ratio of men, women, and children.

There was even real-time data.

Jerry was speechless. What the hell was this robot? Was it a hacker? Why did the Yunguang Consortium even sell this?

Even he couldn’t count the population of Continent M so quickly…

“Okay, go and charge yourself.” Cheng Huo stopped recording and sent the video to Jerry. He raised his chin and said, “Send the video to the seller at the auction house.”

Cheng Huo put down his phone and then continued studying the code. He knocked on the keyboard and said, “Oh yes, by the way, help me thank the seller for selling this invaluable artificial intelligence for only 10 million yuan. Really.”

While waiting for the code to run, he felt like something was strange the more he thought about it… Qin Ran and Cheng Mu seemed too familiar with Xiao Hei?

He took out his phone and asked Cheng Shui: [Is Miss Qin an insider of Yunguang?]

As another emporium alligator, he wanted to hammer himself to death at this shocking thought.

Jerry sent the video and turned to look at Xiao Hei again before leaving.

At this time, Tang Qing also came to find Cheng Huo. On the way, several people bumped into her and called her respectfully, “Miss Tang.”

Tang Qing nodded lightly and walked directly to Cheng Huo. Her voice was clear and suppressed with excitement. “Brother Cheng Huo, my uncle has replied to me. He knows EA3!”
