Night.
Linji Island.
"Tonight is the day DRE Company releases its latest product. They say it's an intelligent product that will enter the annals of human history, and it seems Qin Hui led the research."
Feiran watched the live broadcast on her computer, worry filling her eyes.
I hope Qin Hui doesn't create some powerful Intelligent Being.
If Duyizhi gets their hands on it, it won't be good for society as a whole.
"What he researches is his freedom."
Ye Yun lay on the enormous throne, eyes closed as if dozing, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation. "I, however, have some ideas about his daughter."
"Stop those disgusting thoughts of yours."
Feiran turned and glared fiercely at him.
How old is Qin Yan, anyway?
"I don't understand why you still adhere to that set of etiquette. Such outdated customs like seniority should have been abolished long ago."
Ye Yun opened his eyes and shrugged. "Abolished? If seniority is abolished, won't it be chaos? How would you address your parents?"
Feiran pressed her hand to her forehead, speechless. I really don't get it.
"..."
Ye Yun felt he couldn't communicate with this woman. What did he mean by abolishing seniority? Who said to abolish seniority among relatives?
Ah, forget it, I won't say anymore. Talking about it just gets confusing.
"Next, please welcome our Supersonic Messenger, Thomas Burke. Let us witness another miracle of humanity."
On the live broadcast.
Qin Hui's stirring voice rang out, causing Ye Yun to tremble slightly.
"Supersonic? That's no joke."
He looked at Feiran in surprise. "If Jie Xing and the others get their hands on Supersonic, it would definitely be a very powerful ally for them."
"Even in the ancient castle, I can still shoot him down with an arrow."
The Intelligent Being Feiran, standing nearby, wiped her weapon and shrugged noncommittally.
In the ancient castle, I am the most powerful. No one is my match.
Because in the ancient castle, every attack I make is in a state of peak condition, a decisive blow.
"Look quickly, a miracle is about to be born. We are creating human history. Our Supersonic Messenger's speed has already reached 1500 meters per second, and it's still climbing towards 1600 meters per second. At the current speed, even a sniper rifle bullet couldn't hit our Supersonic Messenger. Great, it has reached our target of 1600 meters per second. Let's cheer, we have once again made history."
The host's excited voice came from the broadcast, even more joyous and animated than Professor Qin Hui on screen.
"What does 1600 meters per second mean?"
After turning off the broadcast, Feiran closed her eyes and took a deep breath, asking.
"Theoretically speaking, an individual cannot reach such speeds on the surface. Even if they did, they would catch fire due to air friction. Looking at the appearance of this Supersonic Messenger, it should be made of very advanced materials. This is only what Professor Qin Hui has announced. So, have you considered what if there are even more powerful ones that haven't been announced? What if there are Intelligent Beings reaching 2000 meters per second? What should we do then?"
Ye Yun pondered quietly before stating a matter that couldn't be ignored.
"No matter what, this Supersonic Intelligent Being cannot fall into the hands of Jie Xing and the others. If it does, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Feiran said, "I even suspect that the mastermind behind all this is definitely developing more comprehensive and powerful Intelligent Beings. If that person implants the Supersonic code program, we will face an unprecedented crisis. I am constantly worried about the safety of the Initial Source Code."
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly.
Feiran saw Ye Yun putting on his Bluetooth headset and making a call, asking curiously.
"Shh."
Ye Yun made a silencing gesture, closed his eyes, and waited for the call to be answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
Soon.
A clear female voice came from the other end of the line, her tone filled with confusion.
"It's me, Ye Yun!"
He stated his name very simply.
"How much money do you need me to transfer to you?"
The voice on the other end tentatively asked.
"I'm not Qin Shi Huang, I don't have any great general titles to bestow upon you."
Instantly.
His expression darkened. So, you think I'm a "Qin Shi Huang" who's short on cash?
"Go on, what is it?"
The female voice on the other end didn't waste any more time with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"You saw the Supersonic Intelligent Being your Dad's company just released, right?" Ye Yun asked uncertainly.
"No, I haven't. What's up? When did you start caring about my Dad's business?"
Qin Yan's confused voice came through again.
"You didn't see it? Where are you now? I'll treat you to a meal." A faint smile appeared on Ye Yun's stern face as he spoke.
"No time."
Qin Yan was direct, refusing his invitation outright.
"Listen to me first, don't interrupt. This might be the turning point of your destiny." Although Ye Yun hadn't watched the anime Deadly Response, after experiencing so much, he could already make some judgments.
The origin of everything stemmed from the Initial Source Code.
To obtain the Initial Source Code, one needed to be fully prepared.
And increasing manpower was the best guarantee.
"A turning point of destiny? Is it that dramatic? I'm at a bar drinking right now." Qin Yan's tone was filled with helplessness.
You're making it sound quite dramatic.
"Remember to call me to pick you up if you get drunk!" Ye Yun joked, then continued, "You should go to the plaza now. Staying in the plaza or heading to the Intelligence Hunting Bureau headquarters might ensure your safety. I bet you, within an hour, the Supersonic will be hijacked by people from Duyizhi."
"And then?"
If Ye Yun could see Qin Yan's expression, she would definitely be rolling her eyes.
"No 'and then.' Bye!"
Ye Yun finished speaking, hung up the communication, and a hint of displeasure lingered on his face.
Hopefully, the Duyizhi people aren't targeting you.
If they are.
You deserve to die.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Ye Yun asked, puzzled, as he saw Feiran and her Intelligent Being staring at him with strange looks.
"You simping dog."
In response.
Feiran and her Intelligent Being, as if in cahoots, spoke in unison, uttering the same sentence.
"No, how am I a simping dog?"
Instantly.
Ye Yun was dumbfounded.
How did I become a simping dog? Explain it to me.
"You warned her to be careful, and she completely ignored you. Isn't that embarrassing? Are you planning to go protect her later too?"
Feiran looked at him with a half-smile, saying meaningfully.
"I really don't understand what you're trying to say. I was just giving a friendly reminder!"
Ye Yun shrugged helplessly, his eyes full of resignation.
A friendly reminder.
And you call me a simping dog? How heartbreaking.
"Sigh, simping dog, simping dog. In the end, you'll have it all. Keep it up!"
The Intelligent Being Feiran looked at him encouragingly, making a 'come on' gesture, and said, "I believe you'll have it all."
"At noon, you told me to find a girlfriend, and now you're calling me a simping dog. I really don't know what you want."
Ye Yun pointed at Feiran and her Intelligent Being from a distance, stood up, and walked towards the room upstairs, saying, "I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."
"You're not secretly leaving Linji Island for Intelligent Being Island, are you?"
Feiran looked at Ye Yun's retreating back suspiciously.
After all.
This kid has a history.
Said he was going to sleep.
You know, I slept and slept until I ended up on Oriental Intelligent Island. Isn't that strange?
"Am I so bored that I have nothing better to do? If I were going to Oriental Intelligent Island, I'd be washing dishes for a month."
Ye Yun gritted his teeth and said.
"As if you don't always end up washing dishes," Feiran pouted, unconcerned.
Ye Yun waved his hand, conceding defeat.
He then walked upstairs on his own.
Oriental Intelligent Island.
After hanging up with Ye Yun, Qin Yan shrugged noncommittally and said, "He's sick."
"What's up? Xiang Mao?"
Zhuo Ran leaned on the table, looking at Qin Yan curiously.
"It's nothing. A friend told me that someone is going to hijack my dad's company's latest research on Intelligent Being Supersonic tonight. He also told me to go to the Intelligence Hunting Bureau or a crowded place like the plaza. I really don't get it."
Qin Yan shrugged helplessly and recounted everything Ye Yun had told her.
She didn't have many secrets from her "Ran Ge."
"Wait, what did you say?"
Suddenly.
Qi Yang, who was sitting nearby drinking, elegant like a noble prince, dressed in jeans and a denim jacket, abruptly stopped his drinking motion, as if he hadn't heard Qin Yan clearly.
"A friend told me that someone is going to hijack my dad's company's latest research on Intelligent Being Supersonic tonight, and told me to go to the Intelligence Hunting Bureau or a crowded place like the plaza. What's wrong, Brother Yang? Is there a problem?"
Qin Yan looked at Qi Yang with confusion and bewilderment, wondering if something was wrong.
"Something might really happen. Zhuo Ran, stop drinking. Take Xiang Mao back first. No, let's go directly to the Bureau. It'll be safer that way. I'll contact the Bureau right now and tell them to be cautious. I'll say... I've had a sense of unease all night, and I think it's waiting for me here."
After Qin Yan repeated herself, Qi Yang's expression turned grave. He finally understood the source of his unease. He stood up and said to Zhuo Ran.
"Xiang Mao, who is your friend?"
Hearing Qi Yang's words, Zhuo Ran didn't dare to delay and asked Qin Yan who her friend was, to be talking about such a thing.
"Ye Yun. Professor Hu Ming's son."
Qin Yan looked at the two serious faces, still bewildered.
What in the world was going on?
Could that guy's words really have that much power?
Or was he just a jinx?
"Ye Yun?"
Zhuo Ran heard the name again, his face showing astonishment. It was because of this Ye Yun last night that they managed to apprehend Han Feng.
He didn't expect that tonight...
"Better safe than sorry."
