In the back of the van, the prototype knelt in its own metal box, a youthful female voice tinged with pride, "Teacher! How was Alice's performance today?"
"Not bad." Cheng Fei patted her aluminum alloy head from outside the car.
"Hehehe~ Alice will keep trying." The prototype made a cheerful, girlish voice. "It's a pity that Alice's battery won't last long, so she can't keep going on adventures outside."
"Don't worry, we can get a larger capacity battery later." The boy nodded to her.
"Teacher, can Alice become more human-like in the future? Alice wants to go on adventures with everyone every day." The prototype's tone became expectant, like a child seeing a new world for the first time.
"We'll develop your human appearance later," the boy said casually.
"Thank you, teacher. Alice will go to sleep now. Goodnight."
The prototype curled up and lay down inside the metal box, its head indicator light going out.
Cheng Fei stepped aside, and the engineer who had been watching stepped forward to pack up and secure the box, preparing to transport it back to the company headquarters.
Beside her, Nagasaki Asuna, with her hands behind her back and head tilted, asked, "Cheng Fei, I've been wanting to ask you this before, why did you create such a personality for the prototype?"
"There's no special reason. Anyway, a Protoss Apostle has to have a personality, right? That makes it more interesting, doesn't it?" the boy said calmly.
Shen Xi stared at his profile thoughtfully, and when he turned to look at her, she subtly turned her face away.
"Teacher Shen, what are you secretly thinking about over there again?" The boy leaned forward to observe her.
"Shut up, I'm going back." The aloof girl kicked him and turned to leave.
"Not coming with us?" The boy stood still.
"Trash, you can go ahead and mess around with that vixen. I hope you die under her soon. Goodbye." Shen Xi paused, glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and spoke in a cold tone, enunciating each word clearly. After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
Cheng Fei smacked his lips, thought about it, and decided not to stop him.
Asuna Nagasaki watched the aloof girl's figure disappear into the distance, nervously twirling a strand of hair with her fingertips, muttering, "I'm the one who's always on the bottom, not the other way around."
The boy glanced at her nonchalantly, then walked towards his Panamera. "Idiot, we're leaving too."
"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna replied with a drawn-out tone, happily keeping up with the pace.
The silver sports car and the convoy of realistically designed vehicles departed from Sakura.
……
"Cheng Fei."
"what?"
"Can I stay under the cat today?"
"Whatever you like is fine."
"I want Cheng Fei to die beneath me..."
"You've been poisoned by her, haven't you?"
"Cheng Fei, aren't cats pretty... How about dying under a pretty cat?"
"That's enough, you vixen."
……
The launch of RealTech is being prepared intensively. Originally, Cheng Fei's plan was to wait until everything was in place before starting the publicity.
Unexpectedly, when videos of the exhibition match filmed by Yinghua students with their mobile phones were widely posted online, the topic automatically began to gain traction.
"Is this special effects?"
"AI Video at a Glance"
"Current robots simply cannot achieve this level of performance."
"Thank you so much. There were at least several hundred people at the school at the time, and the effect was truly amazing."
"There are already several videos from different angles, basically confirming it's real. Here's a compilation..."
"Can any experts analyze what level this robot is at?"
Initially, the comments section was filled with overwhelming skepticism, but then a large number of real-life photos from different angles appeared one after another. Amid the clash of public opinion between skepticism and clarification, more and more people took notice of this incident.
"Identifying a popular online video: A robot playing basketball..."
"Amazing! Has technology advanced to this level?"
"Real Technology: The Debut of a Fully Autonomous Humanoid Robot!"
Various reposted and commentary videos sprang up like mushrooms after rain, receiving numerous reposts as soon as they were released, spreading wildly in the online world, and making the comment sections increasingly lively.
"Real Tech? Which company is that?"
"Everyone, I have a preliminary idea..."
"Far ahead!"
Real Tech seized the opportunity to release pre-prepared materials after realizing all this.
"We are real technology, we are creating the future."
"Since everyone wants to see it, I'll reveal a little detail in advance."
"Bang bang ka bang~ I am Alice, the prototype machine developed by Real Technology."
The official video's views skyrocketed as soon as it was released.
……
Two days passed quietly at this pace.
On Saturday noon, Cheng Fei said goodbye to Nagasaki Asuna, who was lying in bed being all soft and coquettish, and left the rented room.
On Guang'an Street, as usual, a cool and aloof girl with long, dark hair carried a small crossbody bag. Her icy aura, which kept strangers at bay, drew all eyes to her.
The Panamera stopped in front of her, and the window rolled down.
"Teacher Shen, get in the car." The handsome young man smiled.
Shen Xi expressionlessly opened the passenger door and got in.
Cheng Fei stepped on the gas and slowly merged into the traffic. He glanced at the girl's pretty yet cold face and said, "Little cutie, you're not talking to me again?"
The girl stared straight ahead, her stubborn lips tightly closed.
The boy didn't mind and continued driving.
After a moment of silence, the girl's cold voice rang out, "Excuse me, but just thinking about how decadent and indulgent you've been with that vixen these past few days makes me want to vomit. I don't know what's there to say."
"Everyone said it was for her birthday, and she wasn't interested in anything else. This was her only wish, so there's nothing I can do about it," the boy sighed.
"She really does grant her every wish." Shen Xi sneered heavily. "And to put it nicely, she can openly and honestly hang out with this shameless vixen. I don't believe Cheng Feiyu herself doesn't like it."
"I don't deny that, but there's no need to be so angry, is there? It's only been a few days." Cheng Fei coughed lightly.
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your excuses." Shen Xi said coldly.
"Okay, so how do you evaluate the fact that the real robot went viral?" The boy became quite proud. "I was originally planning to buy traffic, but it seems that its strength is too great, and it no longer needs to be deliberately promoted."
While life offline remains calm, a storm has been brewing online regarding real technology.
875. Deep Blue
"There's no need to brag about something as simple as a blind cat catching a dead mouse," Shen Xi scoffed.
"Not at all, don't you think this is the result of my persistent efforts turning into reality?" Cheng Fei recalled the various events since he founded RealTech last year.
"In that case, when does Cheng Feiyu plan to break up?" The girl asked coldly, without a trace of emotion, as if she were asking about something trivial, yet with a sense of entitlement.
"Teacher Shen, you used to be able to put on a brave face, but now you don't even bother to act anymore," the boy sighed.
"Stop talking nonsense. Cheng Feiyu himself said that he would break up with her after the prototype was developed. When will he break up with her?" The girl stared ahead, her tone revealing impatience and a muffled voice.
"Then may I ask what exactly the reward we discussed earlier is?" The young man glanced at her legs under her skirt.
Beneath the knee-length skirt, the girl's slender, long legs were dazzlingly white, exuding the delicate beauty of a work of art as always.
"No comment. Let's break up first." The girl glared at him without any politeness, pulled her skirt down, and curled her legs up to avoid his gaze.
The boy stroked his chin, a hint of excitement in his eyes. "Then let me guess, Professor Shen has been researching my microbial detection gun lately, right? Given Professor Shen's knowledgeable and reasonable personality, he must have already accepted reality. Even if he feels disgusted, wouldn't he..."
The girl took a deep breath, her pure, dark eyes losing focus and becoming empty. She interrupted him, word by word, "Cheng Fei, I'm warning you, break up with me first, and then unleash your filthy, shameful fantasies. Do you understand?"
"Yes, breaking up is what Teacher Shen is most looking forward to right now, and I will get it done as soon as possible." The boy nodded respectfully.
"Good that you understand." The girl's eyes flickered.
"You don't even deny that you're most looking forward to it?" the boy asked in surprise.
"Shut up, you boring trash." The girl narrowed her eyes, her gaze murderous.
The boy zipped up his mouth.
The Panamera drove slowly along the roads of Academy City, and the air inside the car was quiet for a moment.
"Sweetie, I'll be listening outside after we meet. Protect yourself if there's any danger, I'll be right there," Cheng Fei said after thinking for a moment.
"I understand." Shen Xi glanced at him, her face expressionless.
The boy gave the girl a reassuring smile.
The girl subtly turned her face away and gripped the thin strap of her small crossbody bag tightly.
Today is the day Tang Yu is meeting Shen Xi. They've arranged to meet at a tea restaurant, and to be on the safe side, Cheng Fei will accompany them nearby.
Just then, the boy's phone, which was on the center console, rang with a WeChat notification.
Before he could even make a move, the aloof young woman in the passenger seat picked it up first and expertly unlocked it to check.
"It's kind of cute to have to monitor every single message." The boy glanced at her profile as she stared intently at her phone, his tone as indulgent as ever.
“She wants you to come over too,” Shen Xi said abruptly.
"Who?" Cheng Fei was taken aback.
"Tang Yu." The girl turned the screen towards him.
The boy glanced at it quickly.
"Mr. Cheng, please come here as soon as possible. The formalities are ready."
The address attached to the message is the same one used to arrange the meeting with Shen Xi.
"She's going to meet with us at the same time?" Cheng Fei quickly thought.
Theoretically, the three of them have never met face to face, but if someone were to investigate, it should be easy to discover that he knows Shen Xi.
"What do we do now?" The girl in the passenger seat frowned slightly.
"Tell her I'm coming right away, and we'll see how things go." The boy shook his head, giving up on his dilemma.
"Okay." Shen Xi replied using his phone.
"I'll be right there. Is there a time limit?"
"No rush, I need to entertain a friend first."
……
Some time later, the two arrived at the location designated by Tang Yu, a long-established tea restaurant that was very popular at lunchtime.
Cheng Fei let Shen Xi go in first to meet him, while he pretended to be late.
When the young man entered the tea restaurant, Tang Yu and Shen Xi sat in a corner seat, surrounded by seemingly ordinary diners.
Upon seeing him appear, Tang Yu smiled and gestured for him to sit down, "President Cheng, please have a seat."
Cheng Fei and Shen Xi exchanged a glance and sat down opposite the girl as if nothing had happened.
"Reporter Tang, who is she?" The young man's expression showed a genuine level of doubt.
"President Cheng, there's no need to pretend, is there? You two are celebrities at the school, and you even started Real Technology together. I know all that." Tang Yu looked at the two of them, her smile unchanged.
The boy paused for a second, then moved to Shen Xi's side, put his arm around the girl's delicate shoulder, and said seriously, "That's right, she's my girlfriend."
The aloof girl frowned, sitting upright and silent, her small face showing a look of disgust that made her want to kill the rat that had crawled on her, but she could only reluctantly endure it because of the atmosphere.
