As Long as You Give the Word, I'll Have Her Sent Over Tomorrow

As Long as You Give the Word, I'll Have Her Sent Over Tomorrow

"You have no idea how many meals she treated me to just to learn about you. She even gave me this bracelet specifically to find out what type of girl you liked."

Hill held out her hand, revealing a cute Bohemian Stone Bracelet on her wrist.

"..."

Luo Wen did not know what to say.

If what Hill said was true, then Sharon really could be trusted.

Sharon had good character and strong abilities. She was also Peggy Carter's niece, with extensive connections. She was well suited to be the CEO.

"What do you think? How about Sharon? I think she's a good kid."

Hill smiled as she stared at Luo Wen.

"As long as you give the word, I'll have the CEO sent over to you tomorrow."

Hill raised an eyebrow, brimming with confidence.

Luo Wen pondered...

He urgently needed to get the company up and running so he could expand the Kroll Alloy business, acquire a massive amount of funds, and exchange them for resources in the Swallowed Star world.

And to start a company, he had to settle on a CEO in advance.

Kroll Industries would definitely become a giant corporation no less formidable than Stark Industries in the future. Its CEO had to be highly capable and absolutely loyal.

Just like Pepper Potts.

"Alright, then Sharon it is."

Luo Wen made his decision.

Sharon had performed very well in the original story. She was a woman worthy of trust.

As for her having a crush on him, they could talk about that later.

"Alright, then it's settled!"

Hill clapped her hands happily, her smile exceptionally bright.

Luo Wen felt helpless.

He seriously suspected that Hill just wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Early the next morning, Hill went to work bright and early.

Seeing how cheerful she looked, Luo Wen guessed she had gone to have a "heart-to-heart" with Sharon.

Luo Wen did not eat the breakfast Hill had prepared for him. He put on the Teleportation Ring, took a pressure cooker and Friday's main unit, then drove to the warehouse.

After charging overnight, the Arc Reactor's energy had been depleted, while eight gems on the Teleportation Ring had lit up.

"Eight. That'll be enough for now."

With a snap of his fingers, Luo Wen vanished from the warehouse.

After arriving at his apartment in the Swallowed Star world, Luo Wen took out a piece of Monster Meat from the refrigerated cabinet and began stewing it in the pressure cooker he had just brought over.

While it cooked, Luo Wen prepared plenty of other ingredients as well.

There were tomatoes, avocados, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, rice, and more.

Exercise required more than just working out. Eating was important too.

With proper nutritional intake, the effects of training could be several times greater than those of others.

About half an hour later, the room was filled with the rich aroma of meat carried by the high-pressure steam.

Luo Wen released the pressure and opened the lid. An intense, fragrant scent of meat immediately rushed toward him.

His appetite was instantly whetted. He took out the Monster Meat, sliced it up, sprinkled it with some salt and pepper, and enjoyed a delicious meal with vegetables and staples.

After eating, Luo Wen felt heat course through his entire body. He broke out in a light sweat, and his energy was abundant.

Luo Wen took Friday's main unit out of his backpack and plugged it in.

As the indicator light changed from red to blue, Friday's voice sounded.

"Sir, good morning."

Hearing Friday's voice, Luo Wen smiled.

"Friday, can you connect to the internet?"

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Friday then fell silent for a while.

"I can connect to the internet."

Friday's speech had slowed considerably, and the indicator light kept flashing.

Luo Wen's smile widened.

Clearly, Friday had developed a data conflict due to changes in information on the internet.

If Friday had emotions, it would probably have been stunned by now.

"Sir..."

Friday called out to Luo Wen, yet did not ask its next question for a long while.

Clearly, there were too many questions to even know where to begin.

"Friday, you can understand it as me bringing you into a parallel spacetime. The Earth in this spacetime has undergone some changes," Luo Wen said.

"Yes, sir."

After all, Friday was only a basic artificial intelligence. It did not have that many questions or emotions, so it quickly responded.

"Very good. I need you to help me analyze a training routine. Use the video as a reference and correct my movements."

Luo Wen uploaded Limit Martial Hall's Basic Ten Forms to Friday.

"Understood, sir."

Friday swiftly studied and analyzed the video of the Basic Ten Forms frame by frame.

Then, Luo Wen slowly began performing the movements of the Basic Ten Forms.

However, only a few seconds passed before Friday's voice sounded.

"Sir, your movements have a seventy-nine percent similarity to those in the video. Your legs should be spread farther apart, your knees turned outward, and your waist and back kept straight."

Luo Wen stopped moving, a delighted expression appearing on his face.

Sure enough, AI assistance was extremely useful for a martial artist's training.

Luo Wen quickly adjusted himself according to Friday's reminder.

Friday's camera moved closely around Luo Wen.

It continuously pointed out flaws in his movements and corrected them.

After about an hour, Luo Wen had gained immensely.

He could feel that by following Friday's instructions, the effects of his Basic Ten Forms training had become stronger.

The drain on his stamina had also increased.

Luo Wen lay on the floor, panting as he rested.

"Friday, if I equip you with multiple cameras, would the results be even better?"

"Yes, sir. If you equip me with multiple cameras, I will be able to observe your movements from multiple angles."

"What if I equip you with cameras that have infrared scanning capabilities?"

A sudden idea came to Luo Wen.

The Swallowed Star world possessed much technology that surpassed the Marvel world.

A martial artist's training sometimes involved every inch of the body's muscles.

The movements might already be one hundred percent identical, but if the muscle groups used to exert force differed, the results could be completely different.

If he could equip Friday with more professional equipment, the help it could provide him might be even greater.

"The results would be better."

Friday's voice remained as polite as ever, and Luo Wen was in high spirits.

It seemed he really could sell artificial intelligence.

If Friday could help with his training, what about the other people in the Swallowed Star world?

Tony's Iron Man Armor was powerful, and half the credit had to go to artificial intelligence assistance.

Artificial intelligence had enormous potential.

In the Swallowed Star world, artificial intelligence played an even greater role.

After entering the universe, didn't nearly everyone have an intelligent butler?

At present, Earth in the Swallowed Star world had yet to connect with the universe.

Artificial intelligence technology had not achieved a breakthrough either.

Civilian artificial intelligence was even a complete blank.

Low-level artificial intelligences like Jarvis and Friday could perfectly fill this gap.

If they merely served as intelligent assistants, then artificial intelligence in the Swallowed Star world would only be suitable for the wealthy.

But if artificial intelligence could be used to assist martial arts training, then its significance would be completely different.

A private martial arts coach charged several thousand per class.

With that money, wouldn't it be better to buy an artificial intelligence?

Luo Wen sprang up from the floor.

He felt as though his train of thought had suddenly opened up.

Monster Meat and medicinal baths had made him realize just how important resources were to a Martial Artist.

Selling rice was certainly profitable, but it was still a little too slow.

Selling artificial intelligence—that was where the real money was.

But after indulging in that fantasy, Luo Wen thought of something important.

If Friday stayed connected to the internet, would Babata discover it?

With Babata's abilities, he could decipher all of Friday's secrets in an instant.

"Forget it. Better to play it safe."

Luo Wen felt that he was still far too weak. Being more cautious couldn't hurt.

"Friday, disconnect from the network starting now."

Luo Wen gave Friday the command.

"Yes, sir."

Friday swiftly cut off the connection.

Only then did Luo Wen feel at ease.

Babata probably wasn't bored enough to monitor changes across Earth's entire internet at all times.

Friday was merely a low-level artificial intelligence. In Babata's eyes, it might not even qualify as low-level artificial intelligence. It probably wouldn't draw his attention.
