Your Friendly Neighborhood Yinglong
The next moment, Xiao He was back home, where Ye Wanqing was glaring at him with her arms crossed.
Despite the seriousness of the scene, Xiao He's attention couldn't help but shift to her sense of justice: with her arms crossed, Ye Wanqing's sense of justice was palpable, and her powerful presence was impossible to ignore.
"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing glared at him, thinking to herself: If you hadn't bought chocolate and grape flavored ones, you'd be finished!
But Xiao He immediately kissed Ye Wanqing, leaving her stunned.
"What are you doing!? Trying to distract me!" Ye Wanqing angrily punched Xiao He in the chest. "Did you forget to buy ice cream too!?"
"I bought it. Here." Xiao He said, holding up the bag in his hand and smiling, "The ice cream cones were only chocolate, so I also bought you a grape-flavored popsicle, and some other things... I don't know if you'll like them."
"Grape flavor is fine, the brand doesn't matter..." Ye Wanqing smiled, her mood improving. "At least you remember."
She looked up at Xiao He and found Xiao He gazing at her affectionately. Her face flushed instantly. "What?"
"No, I was just thinking how wonderful it is to have you." Xiao He smiled and patted her head. "I'm just an ordinary person with Superpower. You are the 'heart' of my superhero. The two of us together are the 'heroes'."
"What are you saying? You're acting like a lunatic even though you haven't played a match..." Ye Wanqing frowned and glared at him, then her voice softened as she urged, "Alright, go wash your hands. It'll be lunchtime soon."
"Sigh." Xiao He took off his mask, ran to wash his hands, and then dialed Cui Man's number.
"What's wrong, Darling? Did you watch the game? They won all their matches this morning!" Cui Man said with a smile.
"Sister Man, I have something to tell you," Xiao He replied. "I just rescued a cat outside."
"You rescued a cat...?" Cui Man seemed a little confused. "Hmm, not bad?"
"Sister Man, with the 'Cosmic Core Algorithm,' can we create a 'Hero Rescue System'? Can we use big data calculations to push relatively troublesome problems to nearby Mutant who can help?" Xiao He pressed.
"Yes, we're currently developing the software you mentioned. Although it's not exactly the same as what you described, it's roughly the same," Cui Man replied. "It uses a 'Cosmic Core Algorithm' to allocate police and fire personnel, allowing everyone to take action most effectively to handle problems of varying difficulty. We already have a beta version, and the official version should be released in about a month."
As she spoke, Cui Man asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Because I feel," Xiao He thought for a moment and replied, "Even saving a cat is using my Superpower in a meaningful way. So, I want to do more meaningful things."
"Hmph..." Cui Man laughed on the other end, "I like your idea... This child has really grown up. It's no wonder your sister loves you so much."
After a pause, Cui Man continued, "Okay, I'll talk to the R&D department about adding a classification system for Mutant. It shouldn't be too difficult. We'll discuss the specific details after this competition. Although it doesn't directly serve the people, this competition isn't meaningless; it's just that its significance is more... profound."
"I know. I will still win the championship." Xiao He nodded.
Cui Man laughed and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Take a few days to rest and recover. Old Wu will explain the software to you tomorrow."
So, the next day, Xiao He went to talk to Wu Changchun and then downloaded a trial version of an app.
This app is an "AI" created using the Cosmic Core Algorithm. This AI Collection information on various reported accidents, classifies them according to various data of the accident, and then assigns an appropriate number of personnel to handle them.
The AI will take into account various data, including traffic conditions near the accident site, the severity of the accident, the number of personnel needed, the situation of trapped people, and the capabilities of rescue personnel, to make comprehensive calculations and allocate tasks.
Auxiliary police officers are usually assigned to the lowest level of neighborhood disputes, while People's Armed Police officers are assigned to the more difficult task of arresting people.
To put it simply, it's a software that allocates resources reasonably.
Other versions of this software are also being developed, such as those for disaster relief and resource allocation. Once this AI is implemented, social resources will be allocated most effectively, maximizing the use of every resource and reducing waste.
But that only reduces waste; resource balance... even the combination of Yinglong and White Marsh probably can't make this world 100% fair.
After downloading the app, Xiao He was ready to try it out immediately.
"Little Pufferfish, are you ready? You'll be staying here too. If there are any problems I can't handle, you'll have to find a way to change your name," Xiao He reminded her, tying his tie. Ye Wanqing sat at the computer desk, straightened herself up, and then nodded with a smile, "I'm fine. Just say the word, and I can change my name anytime."
"Okay, keep an eye on things. If there are any names that can't be changed, I'll let you change them to prisoner or contestant names," Xiao He instructed Ye Wanqing. Ye Wanqing nodded obediently, sat at the table, rested her chin on her hand, swung her legs, and looked at him happily.
"Silly girl, why are you so happy?" Xiao He asked with a smile as he finished tying his tie.
Ye Wanqing laughed happily, "Because you won't be in any danger, and I can work with you and help everyone. I think that's a great idea!"
"You think you're so likable?" Xiao He patted her head, then sat down on the sofa, waiting for the first task he needed to handle.
An hour passed peacefully.
"So peaceful..." Xiao He said weakly, then stood up, ran to the window, and dialed a number. "Old Wu, what level did you set my rank to? Twelve thousand? How high is that? The level for handling Nuclear Bomb!? Are you kidding me! Lower it a bit! Set it to a level where I can have something to do!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao He sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed and arms crossed, and nodded.
Another hour passed peacefully.
"I'm so angry..." Xiao He shook his leg impatiently. "Ugh! Whatever, I'm going out for a walk by myself!"
"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Wanqing complained, "It's not like accidents happen every day."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated behind him. Xiao He grabbed it and looked at it.
"Fire at No. 23, Old Street, Xinkai Neighborhood." Xiao He looked at the photo on his phone, then used Dimensional Walker to arrive at the scene.
Because Xiao He arrived so quickly, the message on the app only notified the firefighter Yinglong that he would be coming to help after he arrived at the scene.
"Sir!" a firefighter came forward and greeted him.
"No need to be so polite, I'm not some kind of superior," Xiao He said with a wry smile. "What's the situation now?"
The fire chief explained to Xiao He that due to poor management, the fire lanes were blocked, preventing fire trucks from entering. Furthermore, the building was an older complex and lacked emergency escape routes. The fire on the third floor trapped all residents above that floor, and the fire was spreading rapidly.
Firefighters attempted to extinguish the fire using water pipes within the residential area, but the water pressure in this older building was too low to reach that height.
So the situation is quite complicated now. Firefighters are doing their best to stop the fire from spreading further, but it's still a drop in the ocean. The flames are slowly spreading to the high-rise building, and the trapped people are in increasing danger.
"Could you find a way to clear the fire lane for us?" the fire chief asked Xiao He, looking disheveled.
Xiao He glanced at the large pile of old furniture and excess building materials stacked in the fire escape, raised his hand as if to pull, and Psychokinesis to instantly yank the trash away, opening up the fire escape.
"Great! Now the trucks can drive in, come on in!" the fire chief said with a smile, directing the fire trucks to come in and put out the fire. "Ready!"
But at this moment, Xiao He up, reached the window on the third floor that was engulfed in flames, raised his hand, and then, using Qin Weize as Trigger, activated Kinetic Energy Absorption. The energy in the flames was quickly absorbed by Xiao He; compared to Earthquake, the energy of such a small amount of flames was child's play.
The flames on the building gathered in Xiao He's hand at a visible speed and then quickly dissipated. In just two minutes, the flames that had spread to half of the building were all gone, leaving only the charred building still emitting smoke.
"Ah, this..." The fire truck and firefighters who had just arrived were stunned.
But even though the fire is out, it doesn't mean everyone is safe.
"Please don't run around inside the building! Stay calm!" The fire chief hurriedly reminded everyone through a megaphone. "Although the fire is out, the building may be very fragile from the heat. Randomly running around could cause the building to collapse! Please cover your mouth and nose with a damp towel to avoid inhaling too much smoke and dust, and then stay in a safe place to wait for the firefighters to rescue you!"
Without the flames, Xiao He raised his hand again and aimed it at the building. He rotated his palm in reverse to activate Entropy Reduction. The blackened parts of the building began to recover rapidly, and the shattered glass and fallen wall fragments slowly flowed back from the ground and reattached to the walls.
The crowd at the scene erupted in astonishment: this not only ensured a safe rescue, but also saved them the trouble of repairing the burned walls and furniture!
However, Xiao He was unaware of the condition of the people inside, so he did not include them in the Entropy Reduction target; otherwise, they might have been injured or even killed during the time reversal process.
If Entropy Reduction is applied to living organisms, the injury must occur within a short period of time; otherwise, there will be uncertainties in the process of time reversal. For example, if Entropy Reduction is applied to injured people who are already being treated in a hospital, they will travel all the way back to the place where they were injured before they can return to their state before the injury.
"The rest is up to you," Xiao He said, turning to the fire chief. "I need to find a place to vent the fire."
"To vent the fire?" the fire chief asked curiously.
"Yes." Xiao He nodded, flew into the air and raised his hand.
With a loud "boom," the flames he had absorbed were instantly released, exploding in the air and forming a huge firework.
"Very good, mission accomplished," Xiao He said with satisfaction. "I just wonder if this will cause it to rain?"
The first incident was resolved satisfactorily, and the subsequent tasks followed.
This app assigns tasks very scientifically and reasonably. It only assigns the next task after Xiao He has finished the current task and reported it. Moreover, the location and urgency of the task are usually very much in line with his abilities.
"Today, I am your friendly neighbor, Yinglong." Xiao He flew forward contentedly, awaiting his next mission, patrolling the city like Spider-Man and admiring his city from the air.
This feeling is actually quite nice.
Xiao He rushed to the scene of the next mission, which was a horrific rear-end collision involving nine vehicles, resulting in 22 injuries and four people trapped. Due to a gasoline leak, the vehicles were at risk of exploding at any moment, making the situation extremely critical.
After arriving at the scene using the Dimensional Walker, Xiao He landed lightly on the ground.
A doctor and a traffic policeman immediately came forward to report the situation, "A family of three is trapped in a private car ahead, and the truck driver is injured and stuck in the driver's seat..."
Xiao He went up to the truck and saw that the truck driver had been pierced through the left side by two steel bars.
"No, there's too much information to process..." Xiao He frowned and thought to himself, then raised an eyebrow. "Mechanical Modification!"
After receiving the Mechanical Modification, Xiao He quickly analyzed the current situation and arranged his sequence of actions.
He first arrived at the private car, where a family of three was still trapped. The SUV behind them had almost completely run over the roof of the car and was now pressing down on top of it.
Through analysis, Xiao He could confirm that the three people trapped inside the car were still alive and unharmed, only stuck. However, the car in front of them was severely damaged and had a 73% chance of exploding within two minutes.
"Keep your heads down and protect yourselves. I'm going to lift this car off your heads," Xiao He instructed the three people inside the car. The father, who was trapped inside, nodded and then shielded his wife and daughter under his arms.
Xiao He raised his hand and placed it on the edge of the SUV, but after analyzing the damage, he realized that the SUV was severely damaged and that there was a 68% chance that using brute force to lift it would cause an explosion. So he placed his hands on the SUV's door and activated "Stone-to-Gold." The next moment, the SUV turned into air and dissipated, revealing the crushed private car underneath.
Entropy Reduction cannot be used at this time, otherwise the people inside the vehicle may be injured during the vehicle repair process.
"Then..." Xiao He raised his index fingers, turning them into chainsaws, and quickly ran them around the roof of the car, opening it almost without the car shaking.
"It's as easy as opening a can," Xiao He said with a smile, extending his hand to the three people inside.
The father pushed his wife and daughter up, but at that moment a car in front of them suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
Because of his Mechanical Modification, Xiao He's mind worked extremely quickly, so he reacted in time and stood in front of the family of three. A cape extended from his suit jacket, and then the cape began to transform into a raised shield, deflecting the flying bullet fragments.
"Wow..." the little girl couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"
"I need your help..." Xiao He placed the little girl beside the car, his right hand splitting into several chainsaws. He used them to cut the man trapped in the driver's seat, freeing him and placing him next to the little girl. "Would you like to take your parents to see a doctor?"
That leaves only one final goal, which is also the most difficult.
Xiao He went to the truck driver, ripped off the truck door and threw it aside; the steel bar was still stuck in the driver's waist.
The other person was deathly pale, looking at him in fear and saying, "Help... help me..."
"Don't worry, I'm here, you'll be alright now," Xiao He reassured him, then quickly scanned the man's condition.
The victim lost too much blood, and the steel bar pierced through his left kidney. If it is not removed quickly, it could lead to kidney necrosis and require removal, or even endanger his life.
"Don't move, okay? I need to get you out first," Xiao He instructed.
The driver nodded, and then Xiao He spread his four fingers apart, transforming them into a miniature hacksaw. He quickly cut around the driver several times, and soon he had freed the driver from his seat.
This ensured the safety of everyone trapped inside the car, but the crisis was not yet over.
"His condition is critical; he needs surgery immediately..." a doctor said after examining the driver. "But we don't have the necessary equipment... What can we do? He might not make it to the hospital!"
"I have it." Xiao He raised five fingers, which transformed into different surgical instruments. "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"We must safely remove this rebar first, but it's a threaded rebar, and the removal process could potentially cause secondary injury..." the doctor said nervously.
Xiao He raised an eyebrow, then suddenly remembered something, disappeared from the scene, and returned two seconds later with someone.
"Who am I? Where am I?!" Ripper Rick looked around.
"Come on, prove your worth. I'll remove the steel bars, you perform the surgery." Xiao He pressed his head down, making him look at the driver's wound. "If you can prove your worth, you can cooperate with the Special Response Department afterwards."
"Piece of cake." Ripper Rick chuckled and squatted down. Xiao He placed his hand on the steel bar. "You say start, and I'll pull out the steel bar."
"Quantum CT!" Ripper Rick raised his hand to scan the driver's condition, then smiled at Xiao He, "We can start anytime."
Xiao He nodded and used his "Stone-to-Gold" to turn the steel bars into air.
Ripper Rick waved his hands around the driver's left kidney area several times, and when he lifted his hands, the driver's wound had already healed. "Spatial Surgical Knife, Internal Organ Suturing!"
The driver's expression softened considerably, and he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Th... thank you!"
The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief and applauded, exclaiming, "That's great!" and "You guys are awesome!"
"Okay, I admit it now." Xiao He turned to Ripper Rick and smiled, "Maybe the two of us working together can indeed be quite formidable."
