Chapter 366 – Exterminating Humanity Must Be Very Interesting...
Psh……
After Chen Yu pressed the transparent button above the blue metal box in front of him, the box’s lid slid aside, and white smoke gushed out from the gaps. As the smoke began dissipating, a graceful figure gradually appeared in Chen Yu’s eyes.
Beep!
The figure opened her eyes, revealing a pair of black pupils that looked straight at Chen Yu. The figure then slowly climbed out of the metal box.
“How is it? Have you harmonized with your new body?”
“My current data transmission rate is 0.42% higher than my previous body. It is excellently harmonized with my processor.”
“Come out and walk a few rounds.”
“Okay.”
With Chen Yu’s help, Little Peach stepped out of the cabin and tentatively stretched her legs. “Nothing’s wrong. Everything is operating normally. Look, not only can I walk, but I can also run and jump! Hup!”
“.……”
“Huh? There seems to be an auxiliary chip that’s currently being integrated with my processor?”
“Mhm.” Nodding, Chen Yu stepped back and took a seat on the chair. “The body I bought for you is much stronger than your original one. After including the protective products I bought for my family, I’m thoroughly spent on points.”
“Thank you.”
“I should be the one thanking you. Had you not protected me yesterday, I would’ve become minced meat by now. That assassin really was ruthless and precise. Even with my current reaction speed and physique, I still didn’t manage to react to it in time. I doubt that even the Americans’ Navy SEALs are at such a level.”
“Have you resolved matters with the swimming complex’s side?”
“Don’t you know how I operate? My actions are always foolproof! I’ve even destroyed the surveillance system’s hard disks,” Chen Yu said, gesturing an ‘OK.’ “Nobody understands special agents more than I do.”
“Mr. Chen, you’re amazing!”
“It’s nothing.”
Picking up the laptop from the table beside him and passing it to Little Peach, Chen Yu said solemnly, “This attack is definitely just the beginning. Now that you can move around, focus on tracking down the offender.”
“Okay.” Little Peach nodded and accepted the laptop. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “But…… What should I do about my coding job?”
“Don’t worry about that for now. We’re not in any shortage of money.”
“But I owe the husky money……” Little Peach said as she lowered her head timidly.
“No matter how amazing of a dog it is, it is still my dog. Its money is naturally my money. I’ll go teach it a lesson afterward and declare all debts to be settled.”
YES! Secretly clenching her fists, Little Peach bit her lips in excitement while secretly thinking to herself, Jackpot! I’ve really struck the jackpot this time!
Raising his watch, Chen Yu took a look at the time. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “You’re a robot. What do you think about that robot that attacked me?”
“The bullet it fired is really amazing. It is definitely not the slightest bit inferior to a round fired by an anti-tank sniper rifle. The bullet velocity is very fast, as well. In all honesty, I only managed to protect you in time because I happened to be staying invisible by your side.”
“Apart from that?”
“It is a specialized robot.”
“What do you mean by a specialized robot?”
“It is a robot created for one purpose only. For example, the only function the cylinder object that attacked you had was to fire bullets. Apart from that, it had no other functions. Both its shape and programming are optimized for that specific function. Hence, it operates much more efficiently than semi-specialized robots.”
“Does that mean you’re a semi-specialized robot?” Chen Yu asked thoughtfully.
“Yes! Apart from having skills in the romance department, I have many other functions as well. Comprehensively, I am stronger.” Patting her chest in delight, Little Peach said, “Huh? Did they grow bigger?”
Chen Yu: “(づ?ど)”
Opening the laptop and setting up a few parameters, Little Peach then started connecting to a satellite network through a multi-layer springboard. She then asked, “Mr. Chen, which countries do you think are most likely to attack you? I will enter the intranet of those countries first and see if I can find any clues.
“I had a few suspicions yesterday. Start your investigations from Japan, followed by America, Australia, Korea, Russia, and oil-producing countries. From an interests’ perspective, they are the most inclined to attack me.”
“Understood.” After waiting for her body’s drivers to be fully loaded, Little Peach immediately began working with high efficiency, her fingers generating sparks as they tapped away at the keyboard……
“Do it lightly. I don’t have any points to buy you a new one now. I also don’t have any new products to host an additional livestream.”
“Understood.”
“Actually, compared to the attack itself, I am more worried about other aspects.” Standing up, Chen Yu frowned and said, “Judging from the attack’s intensity and abruptness, the offender must’ve planned this attack a long time ago and was only waiting for an opportunity to strike. This shows that the other party has already figured out my situation.”
“Are you afraid that many countries have already discovered your real identity?”
“Yes. No secret can last forever in this world. Even if I am constantly coming up with new strategies, I am outnumbered. I recall that a year ago, the government even came to my house to conduct a search. Since everyone knows I am living in Jinzhou City, it is only a matter of time I am caught.”
“I find this hard to believe.”
“Holmes once said that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. My identity……is indeed exposed.”
“To be able to uncover your identity in just one year, the hostile force mustn’t be underestimated.” Little Peach stopped typing and sighed.
“We are both human beings, after all. Even if there is a gap between myself and other humans, the gap won’t be too significant.”
“I understand. This is also the case for artificial intelligence. Hermione might be inferior to me, but she isn’t too far behind, either,” Little Peach said in agreement.
“.……” Hermione, who was hidden in a corner of the room, put on an expressionless face.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu clicked into his photo album and played the video he had copied over from the swimming complex’s surveillance system.
[We are not a lone individual. Neither are we a lone organization or country. We represent the world’s governments. This is a warning. No government in the world welcomes your existence.]
“All governments don’t welcome me, is it……”
……
Meanwhile, in a parallel timeline two thousand years into the future……
Outer Solar System, Kuiper Belt, Transdimensional Marketing Company Headquarters, second mezzanine space:
The marketing staff in charge of Chen Yu got up from her cabin. After opening several walls, she arrived in a hall occupying an area of more than 200 square meters.
“Have you finished backing up the information of Chen Yu’s twelfth product?” the marketing staff asked the person beside her.
“The backup is complete,” the person in question said as he called up a holographic projection. He then shared the information to the marketing staff and continued, “The higher-ups have approved the request. The product is ready to be sent at any time.”
“Be careful. That thing is too dangerous. If necessary, send a greeting to the neighboring alliances. Otherwise, it’ll easily cause misunderstandings.”
“Don’t worry. There won’t be any mistakes.”
“Mhm.” Nodding, the marketing staff turned to leave the hall. However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something. She then turned around and asked, “By the way, with Chen Yu’s current popularity, he shouldn’t have any problems getting promoted to C-level after the twelfth review. So, no need to rush in applying for the thirteenth episode’s product. We’ll hold a meeting to discuss it first.”
“Understood. I’ll let the ones below know. What do you plan on applying for Chen Yu?”
“.……”
Looking up at the starry sky outside the skylight, the marketing staff’s lips raised slightly as she said, “That thing that can instantly exterminate all of humanity in Chen Yu’s space-time……”
“Exterminate humanity…… D-Don’t tell me you want to……”
“Yes. It will definitely be very interesting……”
