Chapter 48

"I never expected there to be someone among us on the level of a Crouching Dragon or Fledgling Phoenix."

Jiang Ye had no idea that his actions would indirectly raise the birth rate in Dragon Country and even in countries across the globe, or that they would bring countless single dogs the happiness of finding a partner.

Seven minutes later.

Jiang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, then smiled as he looked over the machine in front of him.

If nothing unexpected happened,

it should... start up and run.

Mm.

Definitely.

He went to the main switch and turned on the power.

Then Jiang Ye went to the first machine, lifted a transparent cover, and pressed the button.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Soon, countless indicator lights abruptly lit up one after another, brilliant and dazzling.

Chapter 47: It Begins! Creating Artificial Intelligence (Bonus Chapter)

As the machines roared to life,

the comments in the international livestream surged like an explosion.

At that moment,

everything exploded.

Everyone exploded.

Dragon Country was shaken.

Numerous major powers were shaken.

Countless viewers around the world went wild.

"Oh my god."

"God Jiang really does have a learning talent ability. Is this some kind of international joke? He only studied for half an hour, and he could repair such a huge set of machines. Supernatural abilities really do exist!!!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I get it. I'm going to find a wife right now. If I don't, it'll be too late."

"I get it too. I'm going home to have a second child with my wife. If the kid turns out to be an ability user, we'll hit the jackpot."

"Jade Emperor, bless me with a child who has a supernatural ability."

"You're praying to the gods now? Why don't you go ask Guanyin while you're at it?"

"Hahaha, I haven't even had my first child yet. You can only have one at most, but I can still have two!"

"No way. While you're still chatting, my wife and I have already started planning to make a little person."

"Reporting the person above."

Backstage at the production team,

chief director William and Charlie looked at each other.

After several minutes of silence, William finally broke it. "Mr. Charlie, what do we do now?"

"The higher-ups have actually already begun searching for hidden ability users."

"I'm asking what we do about Jiang Ye." William was about to go crazy. They'd randomly picked a Dragon Country contestant, and he'd turned out to be a fucking ability user.

Fuck!

Did they have to be this unlucky?

They still wanted to see an ability user make a fool of himself?

They still wanted to use an ability user to undermine the other side's national and cultural confidence?

That was bullshit.

They were dreaming!

"Should we forcibly end the show? I want to replace him," William said through gritted teeth, thinking that once Jiang Ye was off the show, he could have the Ten Conglomerates step in and kill him.

If an ability user like that died, Dragon Country would definitely be heartbroken, needless to say.

By now, the production team's objective had become completely unattainable, which also meant the hundreds of billions invested in the early stages had gone entirely to waste.

William remembered that he was also entitled to 0.2% of the show's profits, and the thought made his heart ache.

"William, calm down. I understand what you mean, but we can't replace him yet."

Charlie continued to explain to William, "First, rather than take him off the show and kill him, it would be better to arrange an accident on the show that kills him. At least that way, we wouldn't give anyone anything to use against us."

"Second, the audience's desire and anticipation to watch Jiang Ye can only now be said to have truly reached their peak. I'm certain that 90% of people want to keep watching this ability user's performance."

"So we need him to keep the show running and use the advertising revenue to recoup some of our financial losses."

"Third, as the first ability user, he is extraordinarily significant. Even if he's taken off the show, he's worth more alive than dead. Whether we study him or use him to threaten Dragon Country, either way we can ultimately reap enormous benefits."

Listening to Representative Charlie's explanation, William quickly regained his composure. "I'm sorry, sir. I let my emotions get the better of me."

Charlie nodded. Just then, a phone rang.

"Boss, a suspected white ability user appeared in Dragon Country, but Dragon Country took them away soon afterward..."

"All right, I understand." Charlie hung up without explaining anything to William. He simply spoke to him and left. "William, I'm going to discuss something with the boss. Don't make any plans for the production team for now."

In the Kedar Industrial Zone,

hydroelectric power stations were the most cost-effective way to supply industrial electricity to the island city.

So, of the four power stations in the Kedar Industrial Zone, two were hydroelectric, one was solar, and one was wind-powered.
