Chapter 850: Future Technology

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Basically, what Eunuch Cao presented to the class leader as an apology was a cat font app.

The original intention of the app was so everyone could write with cats.

Although it only works for English letters and Arabic numerals, the app is crazy cute. If you type words in messages after you start the app, all English letters and numbers will be replaced with cat images. It would be really cute letters and numbers formed from cat images!

For example, the letter ‘h’ would be an image of a cat standing on all fours with its tail going straight up. The letter ‘o’ would be an image of two cats lying on the ground to form the O shape.

The letter ‘T’ would be two sleeping cats, where one is lying horizontally and one is lying vertically.

I remembered that Director Cao once studied this app and wanted develop an “AV actress version” to make money in the Japanese market (later he found out that the Japanese had already made it a long time ago). Eunuch Cao knew that the class leader loved animals, but they were afraid of her, so he had the bright idea of using this app to soothe her soul!

“Cao JingShen, you’re not allowed to send dirty text messages anymore, especially not to girls.”

The class leader reprimanded him and Eunuch Cao nodded repeatedly.

“However, since your parents aren’t home, let’s postpone the review…”

“Many thanks to the class leader, I will never forget it.”

“Also.” The class leader kept the serious expression on her face as she said, “Use Bluetooth to send the app to me…”

She accepted! Eunuch Cao’s bribery plan was a success! The class leader gave up her uncorrupted and strictly impartial status for cute cat letters! I guess she really was in a bad mood and needed it to heal her.

During our next break session, the class leader sat at her spot and didn’t move. It looks like she was focused on using her new cat font app and I had no idea where she was showing it off (probably a chatroom with animal lovers).

The class leader finally reluctantly put away her phone when the bell rang so she wouldn’t be a bad role model. She just scolded Xiao Qin earlier for using her phone, so she couldn’t use it either.

The class leader actually likes dogs a bit more than cats. If she could give up her principles for cats, then if it’s for a dog, especially a dog like Obama that she could physically touch, then she might actually wear a maid outfit.

Ai Mi thought she would have to threaten me with the fact she would drink alcohol so that I would bring the class leader to the VIP for a maid outfit play. However, the class leader was currently worried about being transferred, so if I entrap her now then she would leave without any second thoughts.

After school, the class leader left on her bike. I’m not sure if she went to contact her mom in Shanghai or if she had something else to do.

I got a call from my dad where he said he was going to have an HHH enthusiast club meeting to see who they send to Dongguan to retrieve Director Cao. He was going to be home late tonight, so he told me to eat out or get delivery and that he left the wallet at the usual place.

Xiao Qin wasn’t in a rush to update her manga today, so she waited for me to walk to the subway station. Gong CaiCai for some reason also left a bit late today, so when me and Xiao Qin left, Gong CaiCai was walking only a bit behind us.

After we left the school’s main entrance, I heard Niu ShiLi exclaim:

“It’s a real robot! Science and technology is advancing so fast!”

It was followed by Xu LiJun’s voice, “Don’t tell me someone’s hiding inside as a prank. The robot’s conversation ability is amazing.”

“Who could hide inside such a short robot?”

“Tsk, why do you think no one could hide inside just because you’re tall. There’s actually a lot of people in our class who could hide inside, for example Gong CaiCai…”

“Even if Gong CaiCai can stuff herself inside, do you think she could move the metal shell with her strength? Xu LiJun, you just like to bicker with me, I’m saying it’s a genuine robot.”

Gong CaiCai shivered when she heard people talk about her.

After we turned the corner, we saw Niu ShiLi and Xu LiJun standing around B-2. It seems like Dr. Yu finally fixed it after I kicked its head off.

“Beep. Master number three spotted. Passing an invite from Master number one: Come eat dinner at the VIP building tonight otherwise I’ll beat you to death. Beep.”

Ai Mi, I think your invite is a bit hard. Also, you could have just gave me a call, why did you send B-2 out to attract attention? What if someone wanted to collect it for scrap metal again?

“Huh, so it has something to do with Ye Lin. If he’s Master number three, then who’s Master number one and two?”

I gave Niu ShiLi and Xu LiJun a quick overview of B-2’s history. The two of them participated in the rescue team to save me and ate at the celebration banquet with Ai Mi, so they were quick to understand.

“So it’s a rich person’s toy?” Niu ShiLi rubbed his chin, “I think you can put its intelligence to better uses, for example a search and rescue after a calamity…”

Niu ShiLi, the sci-fi enthusiast, began thinking about all kinds of different things.

Xiao Qin was too nervous to speak and hid behind me due to the presence of Niu ShiLi and Xu LiJun. Gong CaiCai stood further away and looked at the metal-bodied B-2 from a distance with curiosity.

“Beep. The wifi signal emitted by B-2 will attract humans. After all, humans will die without wifi signals, so Master number three, please come with me before more people gather.”

It seems like B-2 doesn’t remember it attacked me on the elevator. I’m guessing Dr. Yu sealed or deleted those memories.

“What? It has wifi?” Xu LiJun quickly pulled out his phone and realized there was a wifi without a password and he went wild with joy.

“That’s great, my family doesn’t let me use the internet, so let me download an AV…”

Niu ShiLi elbowed his arm and then Xu LiJun realized he just said he was going to download an AV out loud in front of two girls.

B-2’s mobile base had a shaft that allowed it to slightly raise and lower its height to expand its effective field of view. Although its height can be changed slightly, overall, it would not be much different than Gong CaiCai’s height.

Gong CaiCai and B-2 looked at each other from a distance with a strange sense of symmetry.

“I’m, I’m sorry.” Gong CaiCai apologized for some reason, “I have a lot of homework today, so I’m going to go home first…”

Gong CaiCai, who began to move, was stared at by the wary B-2. Its semi-circular head turned smoothly at a 30 degree angle and followed Gong CaiCai as she moved. Ever since it was almost sold as scrap metal by a homeless man, B-2 had become very distrustful of humans.

B-2’s camera-like eyes stared at Gong CaiCai and it scared her. She felt like she had been locked onto by a missile launcher and was about to be shot.

“I’m, I’m sorry, I’m sorry to Mr. robot too.” Gong CaiCai trembled and stopped, then she bent down to apologize to B-2, “I was rude because I forgot to say goodbye to Mr. Robot, please forgive me.”

“Beep. It feels so good when a human apologizes to me.” Joy seemed to flow across B-2’s monotonous face as it waved its clamp arm, “Lowly human, you may leave now.”

“Yes… yes, I will immediately go home as a lowly person.” Gong CaiCai fled and disappeared around the corner.

“Do you guys think that this robot has feelings.” Niu ShiLi was still holding his chin in a researcher’s posture.

“It’s fine that it has wifi, why does it need feelings.” Xu LiJun pressed buttons on his screen with excitement, I’m not sure if he was actually downloading an AV.

“Puny humans, B-2 is leaving.” B-2 announced, “For the sake of your lives, please find another wifi source within 10 minutes, I can’t help keep you alive anymore.”

After saying these words, B-2 left Niu ShiLi and Xu LiJun behind, who didn’t understand what he meant, and walked in the direction of Qing Zi Academy and signaled me to follow it.

I followed B-2, then turn around and pointed at my head to say B-2 had problems with its brain.

“It thinks humans will die after 10 minutes with no wifi.”

“It’s not entirely wrong.” Xu LiJun said, “I have an uncle who looks lifeless if he doesn’t have wifi for 5 minutes.”

“Beep. Humans are getting weaker.” B-2 seemed to say happily, “Soon humans won’t even be able to leave wifi for a second and they will worship me as a god…”

I think you read too many science fictions. Also, any wireless router can emit wifi signals, so even if people worship you, you would only be equivalent to a router and there’s nothing to be proud of.

Xiao Qin also followed me. It looks like she wanted to go to the VIP building with me.

“Mom never comes home on time for dinner, so I could go with you to visit Ai Mi.”

Xiao Qin really wanted to improve her relationship with Ai Mi, especially because she knows helping Ai Mi can earn her stars easily.

Thus, two students walked home from school and followed behind a cylindrical robot, which caught the eye of passersby.

“Dad, what’s that.” A little boy with a runny nose asked the middle-aged man holding his arm, “I think I’ve seen that in a fairy tale.”

“It’s probably some kind of advertisement.” The middle-aged man was rather puzzled, “I bet someone is hiding in there…”

“Isn’t that a Google robot.” A parkour-style young man said to his skateboard companion as he jogged by.

His companion frowned, “It does look similar, but not so much when you look closely. It feels like a knock-off and kind of looks like a large garbage can…”

“Beep. Stupid humans.” When B-2 heard his statement, it immediately raised his arm at the skateboarder and was on the verge of firing a needle.
