Guangzhu City, the old city, on the side of a horizontal road, there is an inconspicuous garden-style courtyard.

On the pillar next to the entrance, a black and white plaque indicates what kind of place it is: the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases.

The place doesn't seem to be very popular, and occasionally a small number of researchers in white coats can be seen shuttling between the different buildings inside.

Naturally, the scientific research center is heavily guarded. Entering the interior from the outside, there are several security cordons, bright and dark, as well as uniformed security guards who patrol from time to time, and high-definition cameras everywhere.

A fair-skinned, beautiful girl with a tall figure in a black tracksuit suit, stepped on a beautiful women's bicycle, swayed into the gate, and then continued to go deeper towards the inner building.

All the security guards turned a blind eye to her, did not ask her to show her ID, and some even greeted her warmly. Her pretty face is the pass in and out of here. Some of the old security guards even watched her grow up since she was a child.

Everyone knows that she is the supreme person in power here, the precious granddaughter of Zhong Xueshan, Zhong Yixue.

After a while, in the director's office, a rich but quiet smell of tea was heard, and it spread everywhere.

It was Zhong Yixue who was making tea. The tea was also specially brought by her, and it was only one or two "Tianpin Biluochun" that cost 600 yuan. This is a small gift she bought for her grandfather in Hanzhou.

After tasting a sip of tea, Director Zhong Xueshan, who was wearing reading glasses and had gray hair, gently put down an invitation in his hand and said:

"I know this Noah company where you used to intern. I even made a special trip to the platform, which was kind of a secret platform for it. However, I can't attend its first annual meeting now. ”

Zhong Yixue raised her eyebrows: "The last finale group show, I will sing and dance on stage!" Grandpa, why don't you go over and cheer me on? ”

Zhong Xueshan sighed: "Of course Grandpa wants to see you perform with his own eyes... It's just that grandpa's identity is relatively special, and he can't easily appear at the annual meeting of a commercial company, otherwise it will cause a lot of gossip... Anyway, why don't you invite your mom and dad over? There is no such thing as their identity. ”

Zhong Yixue pouted a little unhappily: "Dad has always been angry that I didn't enroll in medicine, and my mother is dissatisfied with my internship in this company during the winter vacation, saying that I don't do a good job... Although this annual meeting invitation represents a small red envelope of 1,200 yuan, it is difficult to buy the hearts of the two of them. ”

Zhong Xueshan smiled: "I think this Noah Game Company is very interesting. They came up with an online game that conforms to human psychology and is quite positive-oriented. The purpose of this game is to induce college students to read more books and read good books, which has a profound meaning. Otherwise, I wouldn't have personally gone over to "condole" them some time ago. ”

Zhong Yixue showed a slightly smug expression: "I also think it's fun to intern in this company!" At the G12 summit in Hanzhou, a colleague of mine, well, a vice president of the company, expressed his personal opinion in public that Noah will be the world's largest artificial intelligence company in the future. We are committed to instilling AI in more human brains, not into machines. And this is the essence of artificial intelligence! ”

Zhong Xueshan was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something: "This is a bit philosophical... This colleague of yours is a bit of a quick thinker and can speak well. ”

Zhong Yixue suddenly smiled brightly: "The president of our company, Mr. Bu, is also very interesting." He said that Noah is actually a specialized brain diagnosis and treatment hospital, specializing in developing the potential of the human brain. He also asked his colleagues to address him as dean in person, saying that the title represented a great responsibility. It's making me laugh to death... If I told my mother that I was actually an intern at a brain hospital, I am afraid that she would not believe it if she was killed! ”

Zhong Yixue was very excited, and even raised her left hand and squeezed it into a pink fist and waved it.

Her unintentional action attracted Zhong Xueshan's attention. Because, Zhong Xueshan saw that on the middle finger of her left hand, she was wearing a petite ring of black metal. The ring has a strange shape, with a cross-section of a small worm lying on the front of an open page.

Zhong Xueshan asked casually, "Girl, why did you wear a ring?" This is the second time I've seen you wear a ring in all these years! Do you remember the ugliness of your childhood? ”

Without waiting for Zhong Yixue to answer, Zhong Xueshan teased and said:

"When you were seven years old, I took you to the cinema to watch the famous foreign magic movie "The Lord of the Rings", and when you came back, you clamored to get a bright and clear magic ring that was exactly the same as in the movie. At that time, you were making a lot of noise for several days, all kinds of troubles in the Heavenly Palace! ”

"Your mother bothered you so much that she really planned to go to the gold shop to make a similar gold ring for you to wear. Your dad said how can a child wear a gold ring? One omission will not know where to lose! Later, I went to an old classmate from the Institute of Metal Materials and created a brass ring for you. Even the decoration of the inner ring is similar to the height in the movie. ”

"You haven't lost this bronze ring yet, have you? I guess you might still be able to find it in some of the old toy boxes when you were a kid. ”

Zhong Yixue first showed a shy and embarrassed expression, and then proudly stretched out her left hand, spreading her five fingers so that her grandfather could see clearly.

She said, "Grandpa, this ring is not simple! At present, only employees who have made great contributions to the company can be rewarded internally. This is something that no amount of money can buy. ”

"This is a 'BOOK-ATCH' ring, and it has two special meanings. One is the meaning of a bookworm who likes to read books, and the other is the meaning of the sacred guardian of books. ”

"The reason why it is pure black is related to the popular Tianmei drama "Game of Thrones". There's a sacred border guard army called the Night-ATCH. They are dressed in black gear from head to toe, hence the name Raven Legion. ”

Zhong Xueshan smiled: "I know and have watched this American drama. This TV series has beautiful pictures and profound philosophical implications, and the theme is to explain human nature. Don't think your grandfather is too old to keep up with the times, I just happen to know what that "NIGHT-ATCH" means. ”

"It is a frontier guard army that has guarded the peace of the ancient kingdom for 8,000 years, and has its own unique and devout beliefs. I can even recite the famous 'Night's Watch Oath'. ”

At a glance, Zhong Xueshan muttered slowly: "Night- gathers,-and- no- my –atch- begins.-It -shall -not -end –until- my -death......"

Zhong Yixue's eyes widened and she was applauding warmly: "Yay! Grandpa is so good! Even this famous oath is known! ”

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she spoke:

"I have a colleague who is wonderful, and I'm going to read it, and he's changed the 'Book Keeper's Oath' for you... I think it's so interesting to change! ”

Then, this time, it was Zhong Yixue's turn to recite it clearly:

“Considerable /books /gather，/as /a/ high/ book-made /great-all/ ahead，/ and/ no/ my/ atch/ begins./It /shall/ not/ end/ until /my /death…….”

Zhong Xueshan listened to this recitation with a smile, and then in the process, his eyes widened in surprise.

Zhong Yixue's recitation is like a mountain flowing water, flying down 3,000 feet. She did it all in one go, and soon read it all.

"How? Isn't that great! I prefer this modified version. Also, this small black ring on my hand was specially created because it was linked to this solemn oath. The inner ring of this ring is etched with the proper noun "BOOK-ATCH". There is also a specific secret code on it to distinguish between the different holders. Zhong Yixue said with a smile.

Zhong Xueshan's expression seemed to have a hint of seriousness. He began to frown slightly, thinking about something.

After pondering for a while, Zhong Xueshan spoke:

"Girl, take your ring off, I want to take a closer look."

"ALSO, TAKE OUT YOUR PERSONAL IPAD AND LOG IN TO YOUR GAME ACCOUNT. Then turn on your personal equipment panel and open it up. Well, that's the game you play regularly. ”

The first request is commonplace, but the second one is a bit weird. Zhong Yixue was a little puzzled, but she still complied.

When Zhong Yixue logged in to the game account, Zhong Xueshan was very serious and looked at the small black ring in his hand. His eyes were unusually deep, so deep that they were almost completely impenetrable to pitch black.

Zhong Yixue soon landed in the game world of "Magic University". This is the only major online game she's currently playing.

Zhong Xueshan said slowly:

"Girl, next, I'm going to tell you something serious and serious."
