I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 532 - A Legion Of Terminator Armies

Chapter 532: A Legion Of Terminator Armies

Chu Xia chuckled when she heard Su Yang asking about official matters. “Su Yang, have you been working too hard recently?”

Su Yang replied, “It’s not that bad.”

Chu Xia replied, “I’m guessing you’d feel fatigued occasionally, wouldn’t you?”

Su Yang replied, “No.”

Chu Xia said, “Since you’re sleepy, why don’t I buy you another cup of coffee?”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Did you even listen to me? My beautiful Chu Xia! I said I’m not tired!

‘Moreover, coffee again?!

‘It’s only been a few days. Why are we drinking again…

‘Does Chu Xia’s mother really think of me as her son-in-law? No… Does Chu Xia really think of me as her future husband?

‘Although it’s not like I can’t accept it… But I’m not mentally prepared for it!

‘This whole meeting with the mother-in-law, I do agree with what Little Deeny said, I’d most likely be able to perform well and remain very calm.

‘But now that I know… Who could possibly remain calm with the world’s most terrifying woman around?!

‘I’d rather choose death.’

Therefore, he rejected without hesitation. “I don’t drink coffee. I can’t fall asleep after drinking coffee, just like how I couldn’t fall asleep that night.”

Chu Xia replied, “Come on… just 1 cup, 1 tiny cup, okay (o ﾟ▽ﾟ) o…?”

Hearing Chu Xia’s pitiful and “humble” words, Su Yang’s heart softened. Then… “No, I quit drinking coffee.” ‘No matter how soft-hearted I am, I don’t want to meet my mother-in-law!’

Chu Xia was at her wit’s end. She said a little aggrievedly, “Alright… If you insist, then forget it. I’ll think of another way.”

Su Yang caught onto her words. “What way?”

Chu Xia hurriedly said, “Ah? No, no. It’s nothing.”

After that, Chu Xia seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh right, Su Yang. Our mentor came to look for me today. She said that the mayor has been wanting to visit your company and has already informed the school. Dean Qin couldn’t stop them, he said that the leader’s rank is a little high, so he asked if you have time to show them around.”

“Our mentor said that Dean Qin will be there that day, so you don’t have to worry. Even though Dean Qin doesn’t have a high administrative level, he has some status in the education and academic world, so he could be of some a.s.sistance.”

“Furthermore, if you need the support of the mayor, his presence there would be able to be of a.s.sistance to you and your success rate would increase.”

Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Now this is serious business!’

Previously, Little Deeny and the prototype artificial intelligence had fought against all the users on the internet and won. Thus, they had made a name for themselves and were praised by the country.

At that time, 1 of Shanghai’s leaders had wanted to visit Shanghai, but Su Yang did not have a site for them to visit.

He could not just take Little Deeny out and say, “Here. This is my laboratory.”

Wouldn’t that expose everything!?

Hence, Su Yang could only delay him.

The delay had ended up going on for 1.5 months. Within that time, Su Yang had successfully built an artificial intelligence laboratory and Little Deeny gained a body that she could use as well. Therefore, at the very least, Su Yang now had a site for them to visit and someone who could give them a tour of the inside.

‘I suppose it’s time for the leaders to come and have a visit.

‘After all, in the domestic environment, the development of various industries and companies could not succeed without the support of the government.

‘I could be considered a political figure for the local government. So, if I cooperate with them, I should be able to provide them with some support and treatment. However, if I carry on refusing to cooperate and give them a tour, then forget receiving any support or special treatment, they’d be kind enough to not bring me down…

‘Furthermore… I’ve suddenly realized that I really need help from the city…’ After pondering for a moment, he thought that he could grab the opportunity to make use of the tour to get what he wanted…’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang said, “Actually, I’m doing fine here. Let’s do it next week. I should be available on Wednesday and Thursday. Do you need me to tell Dean Qin?”

Chu Xia shook her head. “No need. I’ll talk to the mentor so that she can report back.”

“If you’re busy, pay more attention to your health. Remember to eat on time and drink more water.”

Su Yang realized that girls’ thoughts were really scattered, ever so changing from 1 topic to another seamlessly and was not abrupt at all. It was as if they were originally discussing that already.

Su Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself. Let me know when the matter is confirmed.”

Chu Xia replied, “Yes, Mr. CEO! Secretary Chu will definitely not let you down.”

Su Yang smiled.

The 2 chatted for a while before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang started to prepare for the visit of the Shanghai leaders and Li Runze’s “interns.h.i.+p”.

‘I suddenly realized that Li Runze showed up right on time. I’ll have 1 more person in the laboratory to support me. Who knows, I might receive unexpected effects.

‘However, these are all matters that I will only have to consider next week. Now, the most important thing to do is how should I let Little Deeny appear in front of Li Runze and the leaders!

‘Little Deeny is the only person in the artificial intelligence field that can support me. However, she’s trapped in the virtual s.p.a.ce and can’t come out into the reality, unless she uses the special item, [Shape s.h.i.+fting Liquid Metal].

‘However, this avatar can only be used if it was for regular work, but she can’t possibly use it to meet people. After all… its entire body is silvery white.

‘I need to find a way to disguise her.

‘Also… An artificial intelligence laboratory with only 1 researcher won’t be enough. It needs at least 5 or 7 to 8 researchers, right?’

Therefore, Su Yang was thinking of ways to increase Little Deeny’s clones.

‘More avatars?’

Su Yang’s eyes lit up as if he thought of something.

‘Still… I need to verify it first.’

Then, Su Yang entered the virtual s.p.a.ce and asked Little Deeny to call Little Hus over.

Before long, a dog that was no different from a normal husky appeared before Su Yang.

It had thick fur and its ears were triangular. The tips of its ears were slightly rounded and were perked up straight. There were three white marks on its forehead which looked like 3 burning flames. Its tail was like a brush, swinging as it walked.

‘It looks exactly like a real dog…’

Ever since he made the special item, [Dog Skin Plaster That Doesn’t Cure Anything], last week, Su Yang gave this special item to Little Hus which was a perfect match for it.

After Little Hus used it, dog skin and fur began to grow all over its body. Also, because it originally appeared to be similar to a dog, other than some details, it looked exactly like a real dog.

As for… The details.

For example, Little Hus’s eyes. A normal dog would have a pair of big, watery eyes. Even if the husky had a fierce expression, its eyes would still sparkle. However, Little Hus’s eyes were still the “fake eyes” he had when he was still in his doll form.

Even though it was a monster, and the pair of fake eyes could see things, they were not as bright and vivid as real eyes.

Another example, even though a real dog would be soft to the touch, it still had a skeleton in it and would generally be hard. On the other hand, Little Hus… Hmm… Su Yang could knead it into a ball or fold it so that he could fit it into a bag…

Therefore, even if he put the dog plaster onto itself, it still could not change the fact that it was a fake dog.

Little Hus opened its mouth when Su Yang called it over. “Su Yang, were you looking for me?”

Su Yang nodded. “Yes, I need you to do me 2 favors.”

Little Hus gave Su Yang a sinister smile. “Pay up.”

Su Yang shouted, “Janet…”

Little Hus immediately knelt down. “Daddy!” _(°ω°｣∠)_

Su Yang patted its head. “Good boy.” Now that it was covered in dog skin, it could no longer trigger its pa.s.sive talent [Puppy’s Ambition].

Then, Su Yang said, “Firstly, I need you to help me find an item that can disguise Little Deeny as a human. Secondly, I want you to help me sniff out whether there are any liquid metals that can be used as an avatar for Little Deeny.”

In fact, after interacting with Little Hus for a long time, Su Yang realized that Little Hus was either having a high appet.i.te or liked to play around. However, after playing around, it was still very reliable.

Therefore, after Su Yang made the arrangements, it immediately went to the Quickgold Monster’s hut to sniff out the liquid metals without any complaints.

Obviously, it knew that the second task was easier to complete, so it could do it first.

Soon, Little Hus hopped back to Su Yang.

It leaped into Su Yang’s embrace and looked at him fiercely. “Su Yang! You really predicted it right! It can really be done!”

Su Yang asked, “Can the liquid metal produced by the Quickgold Monster really be Little Deeny’s avatar?”

Little Hus nodded repeatedly. “It’s really possible!”

Su Yang asked, “How many do we have that would work?”

Little Hus said, “All of them!”

The smile on Su Yang’s face gradually turned “presumptuous”. ‘I actually guessed it right…’

Actually, Su Yang’s logic was simple. In order to find an avatar for Little Deeny, Little Hus and Janet searched the entire Shanghai for 2 whole days, but they could not find anything that could be her avatar.

In the end, the first liquid metal produced by the Quickgold Monster could be added into a clone. This was too much of a coincidence!

Coincidentally, the Quickgold Monster could freely shape s.h.i.+ft from the beginning.

Hence, Su Yang could not help but make a bold guess. ‘Perhaps… the Quickgold Monsters have this special ability, which is why the liquid metals it gave birth to had the same special effect.

‘However, because these liquid metals aren’t alive, I can’t control this ability. Therefore, after adding a point to these liquid metals, I would be able to activate their special ability and even give them another characteristic that would be related to controlling life.

‘These series of reasonings allowed the liquid metal to be Little Deeny’s avatar.’

Su Yang had thought about it before. Based on that logic, the liquid metal should be different from the real world. It wasn’t just 1 or 2 liquid metal that could have a point added onto it. Instead, each individual liquid metal could all have a point added onto it and they could all be avatars!

And now, Su Yang had guessed right!

Therefore, Su Yang did not hesitate and went to the Quickgold Monster’s hut to retrieve the remaining liquid metals.

There were only 7 liquid metals left. The rest had been fused by Little Deeny to increase her body size.

At that time, Su Yang and Little Deeny only wanted to create an avatar for Little Deeny, so he did not think too much about it.

After all, no one had expected that each of those liquid metals could become a special avatar.

However, based on the current situation, Su Yang felt that it was understandable. ‘If these liquid metals are normal items, it would be impossible for it to fuse with Little Deeny’s avatar and increase its size without affecting her control over it.’

After taking out all 7 liquid metal b.a.l.l.s, Su Yang asked Little Hus to sniff it again and confirm that each of them had the potential to become an avatar.

Then, he turned on the system.

After the +3 update, the top of the system always displayed the number of items he had at that moment: 37 Special Items, 15 Little Monsters, 7 Bronze Abilities, 4 Silver Abilities, 2 Bronze Points, 5 Random Points, 19 Guardian Talismans, 32,620 Coins.

Su Yang looked at the Random Points. ‘There are only 5 of them which isn’t quite enough.

‘My plan requires at least 8 Random Points for it to work.

‘This is because I need 1 of the Random Points to be used on an item that could become a disguise for Little Deeny’s avatar, while the remaining 7 Random Points are to be added to each of the liquid metals.

‘This way, coupled with the first avatar, Little Deeny could have 8 avatars when the leaders come to inspect.

‘These 8 avatars would be conducting experiments outside. Firstly, it would make things easier for Little Deeny. Secondly, it would allow her to operate the artificial intelligence laboratory in the early stages and make recruiting new talents easier.

‘So, I’m going to need more Random Points.

‘How am I going to get them?

‘Buy them, of course!

‘I’m filthy rich now!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the system store and took a look at the items in the system store this month.

[Random Point]*2

[Bronze Point]*0

[Guardian Talisman]*3

[Recipe Item: Flounder Meat Of Unknown Abilities (+2)]

[Random Prize Voucher]: Empty

[Lucky Stone]: 47

Su Yang was not surprised that the Random Prize Voucher had not been refreshed yet. However, Su Yang was surprised that there were so few Random Points and Guardian Talismans.

‘I’m still 1 short from the total of 8 Random Points that I need.

‘However, I still have a chance to buy it next week.’ At that thought, Su Yang bought all the Random Points and the Guardian Talismans.

2 Random Points and 3 Guardian Talismans cost a total of 1,200 coins. For Su Yang, who was earning about 800 coins per day, he had nothing to worry about.

After buying a Random Point, Su Yang called Janet over and asked him to bring Little Hus out to look for a special item that could disguise Little Deeny’s liquid metal avatar as a human. At the same time, he would need to buy some metal for Su Yang to feed the Quickgold Monsters as well.

Over the past few days, Su Yang had been rearing this nest of Quickgold Monsters. He realized that the Quickgold Monsters would usually give birth to liquid metal b.a.l.l.s even during their daily activities. However, the probability was relatively small. Furthermore, those liquid metal b.a.l.l.s would be relatively smaller as well.

Su Yang had made a comparison before. Generally speaking, only 3 b.a.l.l.s could form a normal metal egg. Even though the quant.i.ty was lesser, the upside was that it’s free.

However, Su Yang wanted to “feed” Little Deeny’s 7 avatars at once. If each avatar were to need to grow into Little Deeny’s current size, based on his previous experience, he would need at least 3,500 metal eggs. Therefore, he had to “expedite” the growth of the Quickgold Monster!

However, when he thought about how he could ma.s.s produce liquid metal avatars in the future, Su Yang suddenly felt that he should raise that nest of Quickgold Monsters in the future. Who knows, he might be able to gather a legion of Terminator armies in the future.

After sending Janet, Little Hus and the rest away, Su Yang started to add points onto the liquid metals in his hands.
