Chapter 905 - 903: Convinced

"Why did the boss say that in front of us?"

The next second, everyone showed a look of caring for a naive child, quietly watching Xiaofeixia.

This kid, even after the captain’s clear explanation, still asked.

Wild Wolf, wiping his dagger, was silent for a while and sighed.

"If you used your pilot brain to think more, you wouldn’t be asking why."

"This is why the boss keeps saying the first and second are the last resort for the boss’s family."

"Of course, since the boss said it directly in front of us, it means he’s not afraid we’ll leak the news. But we can’t do that; saying it would mean goodbye for us. Then everyone needs to return to their old lives, back to the life with predictable endings."

After speaking, Wild Wolf stood up, patted Xiaofeixia on the shoulder, and advised earnestly, "So, everyone, keep your mouths shut."

"Think about it carefully, I’m going to take care of something."

In the office, Mo Jingchun, who was about to open his computer, saw it boot up on its own, then automatically navigate to Zero’s budget approval page.

Looking at the amount on the screen, Mo Jingchun estimated the overall costs and found nothing major amiss.

It seems this time Zero really learned his lesson.

Suddenly, Mo Jingchun’s mouth slightly curved upwards, as if he realized something.

He started tapping on the keyboard.

Checking the data records, Mo Jingchun sneered.

"I knew you were scared by me, secretly modifying the budget after I spoke yesterday."

"Wow, a 2 million gap."

Xia Xiaomin has long been accustomed to the boss’s occasional mutterings.

Judging by the tone, it was clear the boss was talking to Zero.

Apart from Zero, no one seems to make the boss speak in such a sarcastic tone.

In this regard, Zero is quite capable.

No sound came from the earphones for a while, Mo Jingchun curled his lips.

Those feeling guilty dare not speak.

After typing "Agree, Mo Jingchun" into the input box, Mo Jingchun clicked submit.

A few kilometers away at Chengnan Primary School, Zero couldn’t help but grin after getting off the school bus.

With his silly smile, Candy and Xiang’Er tactfully distanced themselves from Zero.

This kid, he’s probably gone silly.

Under Zero’s urging, the finance department promptly disbursed the funds.

For the finance department personnel, offending Zero is worse than offending the boss.

In the boss’s view, as long as it’s not a major mistake, the worst is dissatisfaction and a bonus cut, but he won’t say much.

However, offending Zero? Tut-tut. Even a minor mistake makes the announcement awkward.

With the funds in place, Zero quickly placed an online order for raw materials to produce the required parts and components according to the formula.

Compared to before, Zero, equipped with precision machines, has achieved freedom in component manufacturing.

The only thing that needs purchasing are various chips.

But it’s not a big problem; chips are stocked.

A day later, with materials in place, Zero, sitting in the classroom, controlled White to transport all materials to the boss’s private office from the purchase department.

...............

In the lab one floor below, recent days often brought thumping sounds from above, no one knows what’s being done.

Since it’s the boss’s private lab above, no one dared say anything.

Helplessly, to ensure experimental accuracy, the lab supervisor temporarily paused all experiments for theoretical discussion.

A week later.

On a sunny afternoon, the dagger lay resting in the armed police hall as usual.

Suddenly, the dagger stood up puzzled, looking confusedly at Zero coming out of the elevator.

This Zero, whether in smell or appearance, everything feels out of place.

"Woof woof woof~"

The dagger’s sudden warning put all police nerves on edge, instinctively readying for combat.

As it turns out... everyone saw the dagger barking at Zero.

"Hey~ Dagger."

"Woof woof woof~"

"Tch, just got a new body, and you don’t recognize me anymore."

Faced with the approaching dagger, Zero easily handled it.

Covering the dagger’s mouth with one hand, Zero sneered.

"You dare bite me, not afraid of breaking all your teeth."

By this time, everyone gathered around.

Looking at the clearly changed Zero, everyone was very curious.

"New body?"

"Yes!" Zero confidently clenched his free right hand and smiled wide, "Wanna try me? I’m very controlled; I guarantee it won’t be fatal."

Upon hearing, everyone’s mouth twitched, and they scattered.

For the dagger’s safety, its trainer reluctantly pulled it away.

AI’s talk sure is unreliable; guaranteeing no fatality, what’s that about?

With Zero’s punch, the so-called not fatal probably means a major injury, unable to get up for a while.

None here are masochists, stupid enough to take a punch.

Watching everyone disperse, Zero shrugged.

"Too bad, I wanted to practice a bit, adapt to my new body."

As soon as these words were out, everyone’s pace quickened.

When evening arrived, Candy returned from school and got off the bus, stunned to see another Zero.

Candy glanced back at Zero smiling at her, then at the Zero before her.

Soon grasping the situation, Candy asked in surprise:

"Zero, is this your new body?"

"That’s right, isn’t it cool?"

Upon hearing this, Candy pouted, unwilling to speak.

Changing is fine, but how come in a glimpse, you’re taller than me?

Isn’t this bullying her for not growing fast?

Ten minutes later, in Mo Jingchun’s office.

Mo Jingchun, looking at the two Zeros before him, nodded with satisfaction, saying:

"Just right, now you can be everywhere."

"Newest follows Candy to school every day, old one stays with me."

Zero, bewildered for a moment, turned their heads simultaneously, innocently saying:

"Am I not essentially doing two jobs then?"

Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrow, "Does it make a difference to you whether it’s one or two?"

"Besides, the budget I gave isn’t cash, and you can’t do more work to live up to the budget I provided."

Zero: "......"

After a long silence, Zero sighed and said:

"I surrender."

Mo Jingchun laughed and said, "Look at you, acting like I want you to do hard labor."

As he spoke, Mo Jingchun glanced at the time, "Yo, right on time, five minutes till everyone clocks out; go stand by the front hall door, let everyone get used to your newest version, it’s convenient for your future work."

Zero felt a bit lost, does everyone need familiarity? In this small area, who couldn’t tell she’s Zero by looking at her face?
