Chapter 363: New Intelligence? Tech Hero?

"As if." Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes.

"You want to play this agent game with just a little more than a hundred people?"

"It’s not a game. I’m serious." Su Mo spoke earnestly.

"Yeah, but your naming sense makes it hard for me to trust you. I.C.U.? What is that, a hospital?"

Su Mo knew she was only complaining about the organization’s terrible name. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent several hours discussing its development and putting forward her own ideas.

"Let’s put that aside." Su Mo looked at her curiously.

"Care to tell me why you called me to your room? It’s already midnight."

After dinner, Su Mo had been playing games in his room when he received a message from Yang Qingxi asking him to secretly come to her room.

If he didn’t know any better, he would have thought they were finally going to take the next step in their relationship.

Well, to be honest, he had indeed thought in that direction.

And he had even been a little excited about it.

However, after entering the room and seeing Yang Qingxi sitting on her bed in pajamas with a serious frown on her face, Su Mo immediately realized that he had been thinking too much.

Yang Qingxi had no such intention for now.

As if she knew exactly what was going through his mind, she rolled her eyes.

"Stop thinking whatever you’re thinking. I called you here for something important."

Su Mo had asked, hadn’t they already discussed everything back at the facility?

That was when Yang Qingxi had started complaining about the organization’s name.

---

Back to topic.

At Su Mo’s question, Yang Qingxi’s serious expression returned.

"I was about to go to sleep, but my Daily Intelligence function refreshed, so I decided to check it."

Su Mo nodded, understanding why she had called him over so urgently. "So, what did the intelligence say? Is it about the new Protagonist?"

"Not just one, but two." Yang Qingxi’s answer immediately caught his attention. Seeing his intrigued expression, she shared the three pieces of intelligence provided by her system.

[Today’s Intelligence:]

[Daily Intelligence (1): To help Su Menghao overcome the company’s crisis, David will seek out Medicine Master Shun, who specializes in traditional beauty treatments.]

[Daily Intelligence (2): Medicine Master Shun has passed away. Her skills have been inherited by her granddaughter Shauna.]

[Daily Intelligence (3): A Transmigrator Protagonist possessing a Super Tech Hero System will have his system’s newbie rewards stolen by Lanze Mirai, the assistant technical expert of your company. This incident will cause the man, who possesses a strong heroic spirit, to fall onto the path of an Antihero.]

Su Mo thought about the information for a moment.

The first two pieces of intelligence were clearly connected. David would seek out Medicine Master Shun to help Su Menghao, only to discover that the famous Medicine Master had already passed away and that her granddaughter, Shauna, had inherited her skills.

Based on the normal development of the storyline, this granddaughter was probably a beauty and one of the heroines in David’s plot. He would bring her back to Su Menghao’s company, helping solve the company’s crisis, improving his image in Su Menghao’s eyes, and taking another step toward his harem.

Although Su Mo felt a little envious, he soon put that thought aside. Because he definitely wasn’t going to let David have his way. He wouldn’t let David ruin that poor girl’s future.

Yes, he was definitely not targeting David because he was jealous. His attention soon shifted to the third piece of intelligence.

A Transmigrator Protagonist? And that too with a Super Tech Hero System? There was a lot of information packed into those words. More importantly...

"Who is this Lanze Mirai guy?" Su Mo asked. "Why would he target this new Protagonist? Being a Transmigrator just like me, they shouldn’t have any connection. Or does he also have something like a Big Villain System targeting Transmigrators?"

As soon as he said that, Yang Qingxi shot him a sharp look. "Mr. Su, are you unhappy that I targeted you?"

"Not at all." Su Mo immediately realized he had said too much and changed his tone to a flattering one.

"How could this sneaky guy even compare to you? Being seeked out by you was my fortune. Otherwise, where would I find such a sweet and lovely girlfriend? I only pity that guy for his bad luck."

Yang Qingxi gave a satisfied snort before explaining.

"Lanze Mirai is a foreign technical expert who joined our company last year. At the moment, he is working under Dr. Jack Lee on stabilizing the Neural Transceiver technology."

Su Mo nodded and waited for her to continue. However, Yang Qingxi remained silent. Several question marks seemed to appear above Su Mo’s head.

"At least explain what that technology is. I don’t understand these things."

"Oh, that."

Yang Qingxi thought for a moment.

"You can think of it as a brain-computer interface capable of reading and transmitting neural information between the human brain and a virtual environment."

"...?"

Su Mo’s eyes widened.

"Wait, let me get this straight! This technology sounds extremely important for the development of virtual reality games, doesn’t it?"

"Of course it is." Yang Qingxi nodded, seemingly confused by his reaction.

"But didn’t you tell me before that virtual reality technology was already complete and that the games were being developed?"

Su Mo looked at her seriously.

He remembered that Qingxi had baited him into working by promising him the beta test slot for the virtual reality games developed by her company.

So why did it suddenly sound like the technology wasn’t complete yet?

Yang Qingxi’s eyes became slightly evasive.

"I didn’t lie to you. The game is indeed being developed. Only, the technology isn’t perfect yet, so the gaming experience won’t be as realistic as we aim for."

She paused before continuing.

"According to our target, a person should be able to directly enter the game and play while lying in bed. But at present, we are still at the stage where the person needs to move in reality to make the virtual character move."
