Task Complete

There were only five slots in Ning City's Robot Competition preliminaries. Standing out from so many robots was no easy task, yet Li Zhengyang's team's robot was prominently ranked near the top.

Their robot had no especially obvious weaknesses, but their design and engineering skills were limited, so its score was not particularly outstanding. It merely held steady in fifth place.

"Come on, we have to keep going. We're definitely going to succeed."

Li Zhengyang and the others continuously directed their robot over one obstacle after another. Robots had to be controlled through programs; in some areas, they had to move forward autonomously through intelligent programs, while in others, they needed to be manually controlled through programming.

Their skills were limited, so maintaining fifth place was already quite impressive.

Watching them, Chen Feng felt that if he were the one controlling it, he might have performed even worse. However, his manufacturing skills far surpassed theirs. Therefore, he decided that after they finished the Robot Competition, he would give their robot a major upgrade.

All he had to do was have them design an entirely new Spider Robot. Naturally, the design concept would remain unchanged; they only needed to give him the blueprints, and he could print it for them.

The Robot Competition had entered its most intense stage. At noon, Li Zhengyang and the others ate a quick meal before continuing the competition. It lasted until four in the afternoon, when all the robots had completed their runs. Then came the exciting moment: the announcement of the five winning robots.

At that point, the scores on the display boards made the results obvious. Li Zhengyang and the others were also delighted, because their score happened to rank fifth.

In other words, they had basically secured their place in the next round. Li Zhengyang was incredibly happy; at least his work had not gone to waste, and his effort and sweat had been rewarded.

However, if Chen Feng had not made the necessary parts for them, their skill level alone would have been nowhere near enough to qualify.

After a day of hard work, they had earned an honor for Ning City University, and when they returned, they even received praise from the university president.

After returning to the dormitory, Chen Feng finally relaxed. Although his roommates had not gone with them, they had learned the news in advance and returned to the dorm early as well. That night was destined to be a night of drinking until they dropped.

The next day, Chen Feng got up early. He still had quite a few tasks to handle today. He was about to reach his one-million task target, and when he did, the Sci-Fi Ring would give him something new.

He had no idea what it would be, but it should be very useful. After all, a mere 3D Printer had already helped him accumulate so much wealth. He hoped it would give him something like Artificial Intelligence.

Something like Artificial Intelligence could handle many tasks in his place and deal with anything online. And if it were an Artificial Intelligence butler like Jarvis, wouldn't that be unbelievably cool?

When he completed the final order, he finally reached the one-million task quota. The moment he hit the one-million target, a synthesized voice rang out.

Task completed: Obtain 1 million in startup capital.

Chen Feng was extremely excited that he had finally completed the task.

Task reward: Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset.

Task reward: Elementary Artificial Intelligence.

When Chen Feng heard those two rewards, he was too excited to speak. He still had no clear idea what the Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset was, but Elementary Artificial Intelligence was exactly what he needed, wasn't it?

The Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset could simulate virtual reality inside the helmet to a certain extent, making users feel as though they were there in person. Naturally, it was limited to visual effects. The upgraded version could simulate all kinds of natural information, while the ultimate version could use neural networks to achieve truly immersive virtual reality.

Hearing that, Chen Feng suddenly recalled a wildly popular anime from before. In that anime, the protagonists had used Virtual Reality Helmets to immerse themselves in a game.

However, his was only a Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset. It merely projected images through the helmet and was still far from the exaggerated effects in that anime. Yet according to the system, the ultimate version of the Virtual Reality Helmet possessed that capability.

But there was one problem now: how could it be upgraded? The small 3D Printer could be upgraded into a medium 3D Printer or a large 3D Printer, yet it was still only a small 3D Printer. It was clear that upgrading would not be easy.

Elementary Artificial Intelligence could continuously undergo deep self-optimization and learning, gradually providing its host with all kinds of abilities and assistance.

This was another thing that needed to be upgraded, but both had limitless potential. Chen Feng found that extremely interesting. At the very least, it meant his future was promising.

"Then the question is, how do I upgrade them?"

Specific upgrade measures cannot be disclosed due to insufficient permissions. A new task will now be issued.

Complete a small goal: earn 100 million.

Hearing that, Chen Feng nearly fell out of his chair. For him, one hundred million was considered a small goal? That was far too ridiculous.

This task has no time limit. When the task is completed, the system will appear again.

No matter how Chen Feng called out afterward, the system did not appear again. However, he discovered that a complete set of design blueprints had appeared in his mind. Naturally, they were blueprints for the Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset. With them, Chen Feng could fully design it.

Besides that, he found a USB drive in his hand. What was on it was obvious without even guessing. He casually plugged the USB drive into his phone.

The USB drive worked with both phones and computers, allowing data to be transferred between them. After plugging it into his phone, a line of text immediately appeared on the screen.

Elementary Artificial Intelligence is loading.

It finished loading in an instant. Then a number of strange things appeared, followed by another line of text.

Facial recognition, fingerprint registration, voice recognition, iris recognition...

Following those steps, Chen Feng registered each item one by one. Then, as though it were acknowledging its master, the Artificial Intelligence system actually addressed him as Master.

"Don't make it so awkward. Call me Brother from now on."

Chen Feng tentatively spoke those words to his phone and received a reply.

"Okay, no problem, Brother."
