"Boss, there's a strange woman in your office."

As Li Wei entered the company, a woman in high heels came over to greet him.

She was his secretary.

Looking at the tall Gwen Stacy with her short blonde hair, he said, "I know. She's my maid."

Gwen Stacy was about the same age as Li Wei. She was still studying at Empire State University, and working here as a secretary was just a part-time job.

That was why Li Wei lamented not having a personal assistant.

Otherwise, when he had something to do, the secretary could handle it; when he had nothing to do...

"A maid?"

Gwen Stacy's expression immediately turned strange, as though she were thinking, You rich people really know how to have fun.

Thinking back carefully, that woman really had been wearing a Gothic dress and a visor. Could this be some kind of strange fetish?

Seeing her expression, Li Wei immediately flicked her on the head.

"Her name is 2B. She's an android I made."

"An android?"

Gwen immediately cried out, then looked at Li Wei with admiration. "Boss, you really made an android?"

A woman's admiration was the greatest source of pride for a man.

Li Wei could barely suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth. "Keep it low-key. Don't tell anyone."

"Got it."

Gwen's eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.

She was rather withdrawn and did not have many friends in her daily life, but she greatly admired geniuses.

Just as women all liked heroes.

Li Wei's image was that of a "genius scientist." Coupled with the fact that a professor from her school had partnered with the company, that was why she had come to apply for the job.

The elevator reached the top floor. Gwen stopped outside the office and carefully examined 2B, only then noticing something unusual.

2B was always perfectly upright, looking exceptionally proper.

Besides, who could walk around while wearing a visor like that?

Entering the office, Li Wei sat in the boss's chair.

2B had been standing inside all along. Only after seeing him enter did she say, "Master, I've made coffee for you."

"Thanks."

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. Gwen had handled this sort of thing before.

"Is there anything else you need? I can provide massage services, ear-cleaning services, and more for Master."

2B spoke while facing Li Wei. Since she wore a visor, Li Wei could not see her eyes.

And androids found it difficult to possess much "emotion."

Perhaps that was 2B's greatest weakness: she was somewhat lacking when it came to emotions.

Li Wei said, "Help me knead my shoulders."

2B immediately walked behind him.

"Ah!"

"Use less force!"

Those little mechanical hands nearly crushed Li Wei's bones.

For a combat robot like 2B, ordinary humans were far too fragile.

Of course, once she adjusted her strength, it was still very comfortable.

2B clearly understood muscles and pressure points. Her massage went straight to the deepest spots, making Li Wei ache in the most satisfying way.

Afterward, he turned on his computer and bought traffic for his own news, hiring online commenters.

Before long, he and Tony Stark were back in the headlines.

At any rate, Li Wei was not short on money for the time being.

Future Technology Company had turned a profit not long ago. This was especially true of its "prosthetics," equipment from the Cyberpunk World that was far ahead of its time.

And how many disabled people were there in America?

There were roughly seventy million disabled people in total.

Not all of them necessarily needed prosthetics, but it still represented an enormous market.

With the prices set so high, Li Wei did not hold back when it came to making money from Americans.

So making money was not a problem.

Li Wei also had nowhere in particular to spend it. He did not like buying a pile of luxury cars like some nouveau riche, so he simply spent it all on publicity...

As a result, he and Tony Stark made the headlines every few days, becoming celebrity figures across America.

It could be said that Tony Stark had reached his current status partly thanks to him!

Still, he suspected that Tony Stark had bought traffic too...

News beneficial to Stark Industries was often heavily promoted.

A standard operation.

Then Li Wei watched his Reputation Points soar.

They had suddenly risen to over two hundred thousand.

"You have to get famous early!"

He forcibly resisted the urge to draw prizes and looked away.

"If I draw again, I'll chop off my hand. At least save up for a ten-pull!"

Previously, he had refused to believe it and drew prizes whenever he gained Reputation Points. As a result, he had gotten all sorts of bizarre things.

Things like Healing Syringes and Stamina Potions.

It was not that those items were bad, but they fell short of what Li Wei had hoped for.

He wanted to spend one hundred thousand Reputation Points and directly get a "Dual-Vector Foil." Only then would he live up to the title of lucky emperor.

At the very least, he should get something like a spaceship, right?

Instead, he got nothing but these little items. He had even drawn Hulk's underwear...

This thing really did have impressive technological value.

The system had said that its items included technological creations from countless worlds, so anything could be drawn.

Therefore, it was entirely down to luck.

Only a ten-pull guaranteed something good.

To distract himself, Li Wei simply started playing computer games.

He played games while Miss 2B gave him a massage. How pleasant was that?

Unfortunately, there were not many games in this era.

To Li Wei, major games from 2008 were all already outdated.

There was no helping it. He could only play Left 4 Dead.

As he slaughtered zombies all the way through, 2B watched in considerable surprise.

"Master, do you people really play such backward games?"

"Of course."

Li Wei twitched the corner of his mouth. Once NieR: Automata came out someday, he would play it together with 2B.

He wondered what would happen when she controlled herself?

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

"Boss."

"Come in."

Li Wei told 2B to continue, then leaned back in his chair as he spoke.

Gwen Stacy walked in. Seeing Li Wei enjoying himself, she silently sighed at the unscrupulous boss exploiting an android.

Still, the more she looked at 2B, the more elegant she found her.

She wore a fitting Gothic dress and gloves, truly looking like a Gothic maid.

"What is it?"

Seeing Gwen studying 2B, Li Wei asked.

This was his Miss 2B...

Gwen came back to her senses and said, "Boss, I'm going to school this afternoon. Professor Connors invited you to come take a look at the results."

"Alright."

Li Wei shut off the game. Being a boss really was boring. No wonder Tony Stark was always hanging around young models.

Afterward, they ate lunch, and Li Wei invited Gwen to ride with him in his Maybach to Empire State University.

After all, this was the general's favorite car. The moment Li Wei got in, he felt as though he were radiating brilliance.

The car was also spacious enough that even betting could sit inside. With Li Wei and Gwen seated in the back, it felt perfectly normal.

With her blonde hair, Gwen sat obediently beside him, only curiously watching 2B.

"Boss, can 2B drive without needing her eyes to see?"

"She has eyes. Those are Tactical Visors."

Li Wei explained.

In fact, 2B also had a drone assisting her in combat, allowing her to fight with a full 360-degree field of vision and no blind spots.

Keeping 2B by his side also served as having a bodyguard. Li Wei had complete confidence in her combat ability.
