I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

The next morning, Cheng Fei opened his eyes at 6:30 as usual.

The girl in his arms was still riding on him, using him like a pillow, her head half-buried in the blanket like a small animal hibernating in a tree hole, making one worry that she might suffocate.

The boy's hand moved along her slender, curled-up lines, and when it reached her ankle, he was unsurprisingly scolded and had to give up.

The dejected boy had no choice but to get up, wash himself with his own towel and toothbrush, and then go into the open kitchen to look for food.

So he found a soup carefully covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. At first, he thought it was pumpkin soup, but after a closer look, he realized it was not.

The boy heated a bowl in the microwave and began examining the ingredients inside.

"Hiss, could this be..." The boy gasped, feeling as if he had discovered an astonishing secret.

After a while.

In the bedroom bathed in the hazy morning light, the aloof girl with long, dark hair noticed the gaze fixed on her. She slowly opened her eyes, her expressionless face meeting the gaze of the boy who was using the bedside table as a stool. "What are you doing?"

"Good morning, Your Highness, the cutest princess in the multiverse." Cheng Fei smiled, stirred the bowl in his hand, scooped up a mouthful of soup, put it in his mouth, and smacked his lips.

A rich, sweet aroma wafted into the air.

Shen Xi stared at him, her delicate nose twitching slightly, her brows furrowing a little. "What are you drinking?"

"I don't know, I found it in the fridge, it's actually quite delicious." The boy took another bite, examined the contents of the bowl, and looked on with a serious expression of doubt. "It seems to be pork tripe soup with something else added. Did Nana make it?"

The aloof girl, lying motionless, paused for a second before speaking coldly, "I did it. What's the problem?"

"No problem, it's actually quite delicious." The boy shook his head casually, then paused, looking genuinely puzzled. "By the way, what's this orange thing inside? I thought it was pumpkin, but it tastes like fruit. I've never had it before."

The girl frowned, fell silent again, and stubbornly kept her lips tightly closed.

The boy observed her cold little face. "Teacher Shen, are you asleep? Or are you just not going to tell me?"

Shen Xi took a deep breath, turned her face away from him, and uttered two words in a cold voice without any fluctuation: "Papaya".

"So this is the legendary papaya?" The boy's surprise seemed genuine.

"Cheng Feiyu has never even seen a papaya? That makes sense. It's normal for rats who have lived in the sea for generations to never have seen this kind of land fruit." The girl scoffed.

"Although I've never seen it, I've at least heard of it." The young man watched her enjoy the papaya and pork tripe soup.

The girl's face tensed instantly, her brows furrowing as she stared at the wall on the other side. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The boy began to speak on his own, “I’ve heard that in traditional Chinese medicine, pig’s stomach can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish yin and replenish qi, while papaya can promote lactation and moisturize the skin. Do you know that, Teacher Shen?”

"I'm sorry, I just thought these two ingredients tasted better together. I wasn't aware of this claim. Besides, the effectiveness of so-called medicinal cuisine in traditional Chinese medicine is questionable. I advise you to stop worrying about these things since you ate it without my permission." The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly displeased.

“That makes sense. Although it’s said to have breast-enhancing effects, actually…” The boy was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly shivered involuntarily and cautiously looked at the girl on the bed.

The girl with pure, ink-black eyes stared at him, emanating a tangible, chilling aura. She spoke softly, "Cheng Fei, keep spouting these nonsensical, sarcastic things."

The boy's expression stiffened, and he quickly put down the things, bowing his head honestly. "Your Highness, I'm sorry. I just wanted to make a joke to tease you. I absolutely did not mean to offend you. I think your cooking is quite delicious. Have you been secretly practicing your cooking skills lately? Also, let me reiterate, Your Highness's figure is already perfect in my eyes. It doesn't matter if you stay in this state for the rest of your life. There is absolutely no need to worry about things like size."

After he finished speaking, the air in the room became deathly still.

Shen Xi stared at the ceiling and took a few deep breaths. Her flat chest heaved under the covers, and her cold voice betrayed no emotion. "Cheng Fei, come up here."

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

"Go back to bed." The girl's calm tone left no room for argument.

"Yes." The boy immediately did as instructed.

Shen Xi, wrapped in the blanket, sat up straight, looking like a bloated monster. She first looked down at him with a cold expression, then lay down on him, burying her face near his neck.

"Cheng Fei..." the girl said in a muffled voice.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" The boy felt the warm breath on his trapezius muscles and had a bad feeling. He couldn't help but swallow.

"You hopeless rat! It's one thing to steal my food, but you dare to come up to me and spout such rebellious and disobedient words! Die!" The girl finished speaking slowly in a chilling tone, her small hands tightly hugging his neck. Then, she buried her face in his hands, her stubborn lips slightly parted where he couldn't see, revealing her pearly white, even teeth.

The boy felt his trapezius muscles being covered by something warm and soft, followed by a stinging sensation.

"Ouch, Teacher Shen, I was wrong! No—" The boy's cry of pain echoed in the room in the early morning.

"Cheng Fei, you ungrateful piece of trash!"

"Teacher Shen, be gentle! It's okay if you bite me, but it'll be a problem if Lin Xuanqi finds out!"

"It's all the better that we've been discovered!" The girl sneered, her movements becoming even more ferocious.

"Shen Xi, you're actually settling a personal score, aren't you? You're not just angry because I said something about you, you're using this as an excuse to force me to break up with her? Your Star Spirit Queen has such a vicious scheme!"

"How dare you talk back as a servant? Find out who has been so merciful as to forgive all your despicable acts so far!"

"Hiss... Shen Xi, I was really wrong!"

Next door, the sweet girl with a peaceful sleeping face slowly opened her eyes. Hearing the indistinct shouts, she frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and then sighed softly.

……

Cheng Fei fled back to his rented room. In front of the bathroom mirror, he pulled open his collar and saw several small teeth marks of varying depths on his shoulder. He smacked his lips, feeling a mix of emotions.

If Lin Xuanqi meets him today, then there will really be no choice but to confront him in advance.

Fortunately, he has [Rapid Healing], so this minor injury can disappear in a day. Shen Xi's scheme will most likely fail.

The boy returned to his bedroom and sat down. He glanced at the laptop webcam on his desk and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly realized that he could not completely trust Isena, which posed a great threat to his plan to conquer the world (and he was serious about this).

If a robot rebellion were to break out in the future, and Isena were to reveal that she had been using real technology all along and that she was now the ruler of the Earth, Cheng Fei would be completely disoriented.

Ultimately, the design schemes for the humanoid robots of Real Technology so far have all been provided by Isena. He has only been able to do some repair work by learning on the spot with his 9 points of intelligence. He may not be able to see if there are any problems in them. Self-awareness has always been one of his advantages as a realist.

Currently, it seems that his so-called extraordinary intelligence probably means that he has the mind of a top human scientist, and he can learn all kinds of knowledge very quickly. If he is given another ten years to study a certain field, it should not be a problem for him to win a Nobel Prize before the age of thirty.

But putting aside his past life's experiences, he has only lived for sixteen years in this life. In the first fifteen years, he only had 8 points of intelligence, and his accumulated cognitive abilities were quite limited. It was impossible for him to be as intelligent as some novel protagonists, who could easily deal with any situation.

In conclusion, it is now necessary to add points.

The boy opened the system interface.

The "Intelligence 10% Off Extraordinary Ability Exchange Coupon" can be used to exchange for extraordinary abilities.

Ye Shuang gave him the coupon, and he felt there was some connection between his online dating partner and the reward, but he decided not to think about it for the time being.

The boy selected from various intelligence-related extraordinary abilities, eliminating those that seemed too familiar, such as "artificial hyperthymesia" and "emotional dissociation."

He spent 10,000 points to add more.

【The Mechanical Creator】

[Metal whispers in your ear, theories and formulas become musical notes, all mechanical creations in the world are clear in your eyes, you will capture exquisite designs as easily as breathing, and effortlessly create your own mechanical kingdom.]

……

The time jumps to the afternoon.

Silver Ring, the headquarters of Real Tech.

In the spacious and bright space, there were a few more employees than before, each busy at their workstations.

After tidying up the snacks and drinks in the lounge area, Xia Meng returned to her workstation, which also served as her reception desk, near the main entrance. She filed the company's express delivery receipts and sent out a purchase request to replenish the coffee in the lounge area, which was more than half used up.

Xia Meng is an intern who just joined RealTech this week. Her position is administrative assistant. Her current job is to act as a receptionist and handle various administrative support and preparation work. In other words, she does odd jobs.

As a recent graduate of the School of Finance, she ended up doing menial tasks like serving tea and water. Xia Meng couldn't help but sigh at this thought, as it was quite different from her expectations of making a name for herself after graduation.

Although Real Tech offers very generous salaries and benefits, she finally got the job after competing against a bunch of other candidates. According to her boss, she was the one with the best appearance and temperament among those with high education, and the one with the best appearance and temperament was the one with the highest education, which is why she was chosen.

Xia Meng is 24 years old and has just graduated with a master's degree. She is a native of Academy City and has never had to worry about making a living. As a result, she has a cute and round face that matches her name, giving her an innocent and harmless appearance that suggests she has never been beaten down by society. She is often mistaken for a high school student, which is probably the source of her good image and temperament, although she herself does not want to be like this at all.

After all, what she wanted was to reach the pinnacle of life through her talent, not to make a living based on her looks.

Just as she was rummaging through her mind while handling a task that seemed as simple as a waste of time, the glass door to real technology was pushed open.

A young man who looked as young and harmless as her, with a tall and upright figure, walked in, his hands in his pockets and a relaxed expression, as if he were in his own home.

Xia Meng was stunned when she saw the other person's face.

So handsome, simply... devastatingly handsome, even more handsome than most celebrities and idols.

She shook her head vigorously to calm herself down, then remembered her work and quickly stood up to look at the other person, forcing herself to remain composed, "Hello, classmate, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Fei looked at the young woman in front of him, whose hair was tied in a bun and who looked far too young, like one of his employees' children. He paused for a moment, then pointed to himself. "You're asking me who I'm looking for?"

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was dressed like an office lady in a shirt and skirt suit, he would have asked who she was.

“Yes, this is Real Technology. May I ask who you are looking for?” Xia Meng stared at the boy.

"You don't recognize me?" the boy asked in surprise.

"Why should I get to know you?" Xia Meng frowned slightly.

Is it because you're handsome? She barely managed to hold back from saying that.

"Are you new here? What's your name again, Zhang Meng?" Cheng Fei recalled the new employee resume that Sun Ling had sent him earlier, but since it was just an administrative position and not very important, he hadn't looked at it carefully.

"My name is Xia Meng! Who are you?" Xia Meng became suspicious. The boy in front of her didn't have a work badge, and his attire didn't resemble that of a customer. Instead, he looked more like the kind of scumbag who pretended to be interested in picking up her.

If someone like that came to the company to harass her, she would really be angry.

The boy looked at the little girl who was radiating hostility, opened his mouth, and said, "I am..."

"Mr. Cheng? Good afternoon!" A familiar voice rang out.

Sun Ling walked by carrying a stack of documents and quickly approached.

"Sister Ling, remember to show my photo to the employees during training; she doesn't recognize me." The young man pointed at the young woman at the front desk, then turned and walked away nonchalantly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, it's my fault." Sun Ling quickly lowered her head.

Xia Meng stood there, watching the boy's retreating figure, then blinked. "President Cheng...?"

Sun Ling glanced at Xia Meng out of the corner of her eye, her lips twitching, a hint of indescribable sorrow on her face. She sighed, "Xia Meng, I think I reminded you that President Cheng is very young, and you should be careful when he comes... Never mind, it's my fault for not being clear enough."

"Sister Ling, I, I...I'm sorry!" Xia Meng made a brief eye contact with her leader, who was actually younger than her, then silently covered her face and simply squatted down on the ground, shrinking into a ball.

On the other side, Cheng Fei walked into the testing ground deep within the real technology.

A humanoid robot equipped with a dexterous hand is being tested here, surrounded by a group of engineers who greet the boy upon noticing his presence.

The boy nodded in response, then put his hands in his pockets and examined the robot in front of him.

After a period of time, the robot's appearance became more complete than before. Although there were still many cables connected to its back, it had been equipped with dexterous hands, and some joints were covered with an aluminum alloy shell. It could be said that it was completely humanoid.

At this moment, the robot is constantly grabbing objects of different shapes and masses on the table, and the engineers are staring at the feedback data on the computer screen.

The robot handled plush toys and eggs with ease until it tried to lift a heavy sandbag. During the lifting motion, the robotic arm began to tremble slightly, as if it couldn't bear the weight.

"Why is it vibrating? The motor load is normal..."

"I think it's a structural problem; it loosened under stress..."

Amidst the engineers' furrowed brows in discussion, Cheng Fei examined the robot for a moment, then picked up a piece of aluminum foil tape, tore it off, and directly wrapped one of the dazzling cables inside the robot's torso. Turning back to everyone, he said casually, "Try again, it should be done."

805. Hot Spring Operation Plan

Ten minutes later.

"When Engineer Liu arrives, have him come to my office." Cheng Fei casually said this and left the testing area.

Behind him, a group of engineers looked solemn.

Before their eyes, the robot moved sandbags again, this time the mechanical arm moved as steadily as a mountain, without the slightest tremor.

They studied the aluminum foil tape that the boy had casually wrapped around his neck for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I understand. The encoder signal line for this servo motor has a relatively high impedance, and the feedback signal itself is very weak. It wasn't properly secured when the wiring was rerouted, and it was being interfered with by high-frequency noise because it was close to the power module..."

"Amazing... How did he figure that out...?"

After some time, the middle-aged man with a remarkably receding hairline hurriedly entered the testing area and came to a group of people. "I saw the tremor problem you mentioned. I suspect it's some kind of interference. Let's check the relevant circuits to see what's going on."

"Engineer Liu, it was indeed interference, but it's been resolved." One of them turned around.

"Resolved? That's good. Who discovered it?" The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

Since joining RealTech a few months ago, the generous salary has solved his mid-life crisis. He has also developed a sense of belonging to this ambitious startup. As the head of the R&D team and the most senior technical expert, he personally handles all kinds of problems encountered in the development process. Now, seeing the team becoming more and more proficient as they work together, he can't help but feel gratified.

"It was discovered by President Cheng," another person said.
