Chapter 534: Special Item: Half-Monster Body Lotion
That day, when Su Yang requested for them to find items that could allow their avatars to disguise themselves as humans, Little Hus and Janet started their long search...
After searching for 2 and a half long days, they finally found an item that fit Su Yang’s requirements at a shopping mall that had emitted a faint fragrance in Little Hus’s nose... Body Lotion.
Even though the fragrance of this Body Lotion was a little faint, there was not enough time, so Little Hus and Janet had no choice but to buy it.
When they reached home, Su Yang used a Random Point that he bought during the new week to add a point onto the bottle of lotion.
In the end... The lotion really lived up to its expectations with its faint fragrance.
The bottle of body lotion could indeed be a disguise to become a human after it had a point added onto it. However... That was all it could do, “Disguise” into a human!
[Special Item: Half-Monster Body Lotion]
Ability: After using this on any item or any living being, they will transform into a half-human half-monster with a human form. The item or being in this form will randomly possess a monster’s original form and retain part of the monster’s features while in human form.
Restriction 1: The original form of the monster cannot be chosen, only randomized. Also, it cannot be changed.
Restriction 2: The body lotion is effective for life, but it can be removed with fluids above 70 °C.
Note 1: A lady cat or dog is the cutest!
Note 2: Who said that only monsters want to become humans? Humans also want to become monsters! After all, in certain aspects, it’s exciting.
At that time, Su Yang and Little Deeny were silent for half a minute after they saw the note.
Su Yang was thinking... if they had the features of a monster, would they be discovered by Li Runze and the inspectors?
As for Little Deeny... She was thinking why would it be exciting to have animalistic features?
Even though there were many aspects that could be complained about. However, the arrow had already been nocked onto the bow and Su Yang did not have time to prepare another special item. Hence, he could only make do with that special item.
With Su Yang’s help, Little Deeny’s 8 avatars managed to obtain the appearance of a human after applying the [Half-Monster Body Lotion].
However, they also obtained the original features of a certain monster, eagle, deer, cat, panda, turtle, canary and so on.
That was also why Little Deeny’s avatars had a nose like tortoises and hawks, dark circles under their eyes like pandas and antlers like deers...
Other than having some animalistic features, the disguise brought about by this [Half-Monster Body Lotion] was also completely random. It was fine if 3 of the clones were slender-built women, but there were actually 5 of the clones who had appearances and built that were obviously not women with just a glance.
Thankfully, Little Deeny’s avatars could transform freely. Thus, she simply transformed 5 of the avatars into men...
This solved the problem of Su Yang worrying that the artificial intelligence laboratory would be filled with women.
These avatars were like Little Deeny’s limbs that could be controlled at will, so they did not have any main or secondary roles. Therefore, based on their appearance and presence, both Su Yang and Little Deeny assigned roles to each of them...
...
After chatting with Little Deeny for a while, Su Yang left the laboratory.
Since Li Runze was already brought over, Su Yang left the rest to Little Deeny. Su Yang believed that Little Deeny would be able to make use of Li Runze properly, which was the future direction of their plans.
Over the past few days, Su Yang and Little Deeny had talked to each other. Even though she had 10 cores, which was equivalent to 10 people working together, she was very efficient.
However, there were 10 million, if not 100 million, of geniuses among the population of 6 billion humans. In the face of such a terrifying number, there was a limit to what Little Deeny’s 10 cores could do.
The advancement of technology was never based on the efforts of 10 or 20 people.
That was why Su Yang and Little Deeny recruited Li Runze to the artificial intelligence laboratory.
Li Runze and Su Yang had agreed that they would come to the artificial intelligence laboratory to study and help with research whenever they had time. After graduation, he would also come to the laboratory to officially join Su Yang’s artificial intelligence program.
To Su Yang and Little Deeny, Li Runze was just the beginning. In the future, they would be able to recruit more talents. With technology that surpassed that era and the help of countless talents, that was the correct path to development.
By secluding the country from the outside world, they would either become Maya, or they would become like the Qing Dynasty...
Time flew by like a white horse. In the blink of an eye, 3 days had passed and Thursday had arrived.
It was time for the school’s directors and Shanghai leaders to visit.
Su Yang’s company’s advanced technology in the field of artificial intelligence attracted the close attention of the upper echelons of Shanghai. Hence, after Su Yang agreed for them to take a look, they quickly confirmed their itinerary.
Before the leaders went on their tour, Su Yang had already obtained the relevant procedures and personnel list. He got Little Deeny to search for the people who would be visiting and realized that the people that were being sent by Shanghai were very reputable. In fact, there was someone who had some connections with Su Yang... Ying Tianhou.
Ying Tianhou was the second most powerful man in Shanghai and he was also the father of Young Master Ying, an interesting descendant of an influential family. Su Yang had heard of that powerful man before and was said to be a young and strong man in the country. He had a rather radical way of thinking and ideology. Based on his resume, the few cities that he had been to had rapid economic development.
Furthermore, he was not the kind of person who would abandon his livelihood and future for the sake of economic development. The city that he presided over had a distinctive feature, there were many high-tech companies. Furthermore, he was willing to lean toward these companies’ policies, benefits and support their development.
He had even publicly expressed his belief in the television station’s interview that technology was the first productivity. Only by supporting high-tech companies could they increase the competitiveness of cities and the country! Therefore, he would continue to develop advanced technology.
Hence, Su Yang was still very happy about Ying Tianhou’s arrival. This meant that the idea that Su Yang had been thinking about could be realized.
At 8am that day, Su Yang arrived at the artificial intelligence laboratory early in the morning. For the past 3 days, in order to deal with the visit, Su Yang had especially transferred some people from the building next door, which was his own business company, over to make up the lack in numbers.
For example, the receptionist at the Jiadian E-Commerce Company was transferred over by Su Yang to be the front desk of the laboratory. Some of the administrative staff were also transferred over by Su Yang to help with the daily work in the laboratory. Of course, Li Runze was not spared and was requested by Su Yang to be present on that day.
When Su Yang arrived at the office, all the departments were already in position.
At around 10am, a few Audis with red signboards and flags placed on the windows arrived at Technology Park.
Due to the high standards of the visit, all the big shots in Baoshan District, Shanghai University and Technology Park had accompanied during that visit as well. After all, Ying Tianhou was an influential figure in the entire country. If it were at other strong provinces, he would be No. 1.
When they got out of the car, Su Yang, who had activated [The Devil’s Angel Halo], Little Deeny, who had her cat tail and Li Runze were already waiting downstairs.
Ying Tianhou alighted from the car and looked at Su Yang along with the rest who were waiting in front of the building. His gaze lingered on Su Yang for a while as he felt that that young man was pleasing to his eyes.
However, he did not know if that young man was the main character of the day, so he turned to look at Dean Qin.
When Dean Qin saw Ying Tianhou looking at him, he quickly stepped forward and introduced, “This is the founder of Jiadian Group, the chairman, a second-year student from Shanghai University’s Liberal Arts Faculty, Su Yang.”
After hearing Dean Qin’s introduction, Ying Tianhou smiled and extended his hand. “Little Su, I see you’re a promising young man.”
Su Yang immediately shook hands with Ying Tianhou. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Ying Tianhou’s hands were broad and strong. Furthermore, they were calloused, unlike some big shots who had tender skin and big bellies. Hence, Su Yang had a good first impression of him.
After shaking hands with Su Yang, Ying Tianhou looked at Little Deeny and Li Runze and asked, “These 2 are...”
Then, Su Yang said, “This is the person-in-charge of our artificial intelligence laboratory, Su Di. He’s our technician, Li Runze.”
Ying Tianhou shook hands with the both of them once again before exclaiming as he said, “I see you are young and capable indeed.”
After lamenting, he sized up Su Yang. The more he looked at Su Yang, the more pleasing Ying Tianhou found him to the eyes. It was rare for him to express his opinion before even taking a look around. “It seems like there are more youngsters in the artificial intelligence laboratory. Seeing that more and more young talents are appearing, we of the older generation are really gratified.”
“The future belongs to you youngsters. Only when you are strong can the country be strong.”
That sentence set the tone for that day’s visit.
Then, the trio brought the group of big shots around the artificial intelligence laboratory and let Ying Tianhou experience the functions of the prototype artificial intelligence, Daji.
Those big shots had obviously done their homework before they visited. Little Deeny answered 1 or 2 questions that may have sounded very profound but were actually very amateurish.
Su Yang was relieved when he was halfway through the tour. He was afraid that those big shots would have a lot of knowledge about artificial intelligence. He was also afraid that they would know what a professional artificial intelligence laboratory was like and causing them to find out about some flaws. After all, his laboratory was just as advertised.
In the end, he realized that he had been overthinking things. Ying Tianhou and the others had good intentions and they had been really supportive during their visit. However, they did not understand anything at all. Even their experts probably did not know much about that field as well, so he could just lie to them.
Ying Tianhou and the rest were indeed convinced by Su Yang. Although they could not understand the experimental data, they agreed that Su Yang’s artificial intelligence was indeed impressive.
Therefore, no matter what, the visit ended on a happy note.
After the tour ended, the group ate a meal in Technology Park’s cafeteria. Now that the country advocated thriftiness, the big shots had to live plain and simple while they were outside.
When it was time to eat, Su Yang, Ying Tianhou, a few big shots and Dean Qin were seated at the same table. When they were almost done with their meal, Su Yang looked at Dean Qin and Ying Tianhou. He thought that since he had the time now, he should make his request.
Hence, He looked at Dean Qin and asked with his gaze.
Dean Qin nodded nonchalantly.
So, Su Yang knew what he had to do.
He put down the bowl in his hand and deliberated over his words. Then he said to Ying Tianhou, who was sitting beside him, “Mayor Ying. Are you satisfied with our company’s scientific research in the field of artificial intelligence?”
When Ying Tianhou heard that Su Yang was taking the initiative to talk to him, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. He then wiped his mouth and nodded. “I’m satisfied. Of course I’m satisfied. Little Su, although I don’t know much about artificial intelligence, I believe that it will be 1 of the most important industries for the future.”
“You’re already at the forefront of the country, you mustn’t slack off now. I hope you can develop your artificial intelligence into a world-class standard.”
When Su Yang heard that, he felt more assured. “I’m relieved that you’re willing to give me that affirmation.”
“In that case, I have a presumptuous request, Mayor, but I don’t know if I should say it.”
