"I'm back~"

The huge city underneath has just fallen into the night, and Qingyin has returned to the home where she has lived for more than ten years, and as soon as she enters the door, she sees the cute expression of Asamu's puffed little face.

"Brother, you're too much~! , I didn't go home for a day and a night! ”

The little girl stuck her waist and pouted her small mouth, and she was seriously dissatisfied and reprimanded, but it made Qingyin laugh and a little novel.

It's rare to see her like this on weekdays, but this delicate little appearance really makes people want to take a bite, and there is an indescribable cuteness.

"That... Shallow sound, don't be angry~, didn't I call you before? ”

"But even if you call, people will be worried! What the hell are you doing, it's taking so long? ”

"It's nothing~, just make a copy~"

"Huh~? What... Root? ”

"Don't care, anyway, you don't understand what I said, anyway, I'm doing business, there is always a busy time, this time I went to a far place, I didn't have time to rush back~, I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"

Qingyin detoured behind her with a smile while vaguely shirking, rubbing her shoulders and apologizing, that intimate and flattering appearance really made Qianyin angry, but she still muttered with residual anger on her lips:

"I really don't know what you're busy with, you have to run so far~, don't do this next time~"

"Yes! My little princess! I promise there will be no next time, so forgive me this time~"

"Hmph~," Qianyin snorted softly, not believing his guarantee at all, but then asked, "Have you eaten dinner?" ”

Qingyin's heart suddenly felt warm, and her eyes narrowed with laughter.

No matter what, Qianyin is the person who cares about herself the most, how can such a sister not be loved to the bones?

"Have you eaten well?"

"No~, how can people be in the mood to eat~, it's not all your fault~"

"I know, it's all my fault, let Xiao Gongju suffer~, if you want to eat something, my brother will cook it for you~"

"What else can you eat at this time, just noodles~"

"Okay~, it's decided, the thick noodle soup full of love will be delivered to you immediately!"

"Well······ that... Actually, as long as you have ordinary clear noodles, I don't think you should eat too salty at night······"

"Huh? It's not like what you say, don't you like foods with strong flavors? Don't worry, I'll control the taste! ”

“······”

Seeing his energetic appearance, Qianyin's heart was speechless, and he complained powerlessly: It's weird! When have you ever controlled the taste? I suddenly feel so sorry, why should I say that I didn't eat it~······

The noodles were quickly served, as thick as ever, and the taste did not exceed Asane's expectations at all.

In a sense, this is also a magical dish.

·········

After eating, I chatted with Qianyin for a while, and finally appeased the cute sister who was more coquettish than emotional, Qingyin washed the dishes and chopsticks, and took a bath, and saw the little girl watching TV in the living room, Qingyin poured a glass of water and walked into the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed and turned on the computer.

Messages are sent, video is connected, and moments later, Senior Keller, who has not been seen for many days, appears on the computer screen in a silk pajamas.

"Look, isn't this our busy man, Senior Brother Lin Qingyin? No, it should be called Boss Lin at this time, I heard that you went to business? What do you think? How much have you lost in the past few days? How many times have you hit a wall? Is it that the capital turnover is not open, so they specially asked me to borrow money, right? ”

The first thing to joke about when they meet is the basic routine of starting a conversation between the two at some point, and Qingyin has long been used to it.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I came to you today just to show off my wealth to you," he replied with a chuckle, and Qingyin asked bluntly: "Senior Keller, I want to buy a few artificial intelligence assistants like Nemo, do you know where to buy them?" ”

Hearing his question, Keller looked at him several times in surprise, and found that he seemed to be serious, so he opened his mouth and laughed:

"I can't tell you're still a business wizard! Just started doing business for a few days, and the confidence was so sufficient, and even the concept of consumption has been improved by several grades, which is really gratifying, didn't you think that the price of artificial intelligence assistants was too high and useless? Why do you want to buy a few more this time? ”

"I thought you'd ask me how I made so much money. It seems that you don't take money to heart at all, and I still underestimate you too much, senior. ”

"Please don't get me wrong, I don't see money as much as you think, I can make a poor boy become a rich and handsome man who can afford to use a smart assistant in a few days, I can be regarded as an eye-opener, I am actually curious about the way to make money so quickly, is it inconvenient to bring me such a good way?"

Hearing his joke, Qingyin smiled meaningfully: "Since you said this, it saves me from speaking again, in fact, I also have this intention, wait for me to arrange it here, and then we will find a time to have a good chat." ”

"Hey, hey~, you're not serious, are you? What kind of trouble does it feel like you're smiling so weirdly? I'm kidding, don't pull me~"

"It's late, I'm already serious."

"······, well, if you encounter someone as thick-skinned as you, I can only be respectful and obey," Keller pretended to sigh, and then put away his joking tone a little and returned to the topic: "Anyway, there are many types of artificial intelligence assistants, I don't know what you want?" ”

"Is this still classified?"

"Of course, there is no such thing as three, six, nine, etc., even if the same product is changed to a new name as a trendy new product to be doubled and sold, this is the basic routine of doing business, you are also a boss, don't make such a fuss."

"I really didn't think ······ that, but the example you gave isn't a fuss anymore, is it? I've never done anything to pit people. (Hehe~, the voice of the fan complained······ ）

"That's just an analogy, in fact, when it comes to high-tech products, you don't have to worry about being pitted, after all, the functions and technical parameters are there, at a glance, it's like the artificial intelligence assistant you want to buy, and the price is determined according to the extra features it comes with.

Ordinary intelligent assistants only provide trivial processing functions such as life assistance, health consultation, and information management, and the price is also the cheapest, only about 5 million yuan, and it is mainly expensive on independent artificial intelligence programs;

The higher level is equipped with a precise action system and more powerful computing power, this kind of intelligent assistant can do more things, serving tea and pouring water to clean up or something without pressure, and even can provide precision work assistance, such as you can use their work assistance when operating the card machine, I don't know the specifics, anyway, most mechanical operations are difficult to beat them. ”

"The price of a human assistant like this level will be tens of millions, and based on this level of artificial intelligence assistant, the price of additional functions will be extra, such as carrying a certain armed function, having electronic detection function, having network protection and anti-tracking functions can be used directly as hackers, and ······ with a small number of card slots that can use cards, in short, there are many patterns, generally speaking, the more functions, the more expensive the price, and the top is not unusual to ask for hundreds of millions."

Qingyin listened carefully, and then asked: "Actually, I don't need too many functions, just the second-level one, senior, do you know where to buy it?" ”

"There shouldn't be many Azure Star selling this, why don't you go to Capital Star to have a look, it's more complete there."

"Do you have to go to the capital star? So troublesome? ”

"What's so troublesome about this, it won't take a week to take the fastest flight back and forth in this star field. You are also considered a successful person now, and there will be more opportunities for interstellar voyages in the future, so you have to get used to it early. ”

Hearing his words, Qingyin smiled bitterly and sighed: "Okay~, I understand, but I still have some things that I can't leave recently, so let's talk about the smart assistant later." ”

After speaking, he opened his mouth and asked another thing: "Actually, there is another thing I want to ask you about this time." ”

In the video, Keller waved his hand and said generously: "If you have any questions, just ask them directly, when I saw your communication request, I was ready to be a free lecturer." ”

Qingyin paused and asked seriously, "I want to know, what is the current situation of the Federation?" Obviously, he has been preaching that the world is in a peaceful and prosperous environment, why is he so desperate to seek the power of cards. ”

Keller looked at him suspiciously, as if he saw something, and asked with a frown, "Why do you think that?" Do you know something? ”

"Well······, well, I only noticed something wrong after seeing something, after all, if the world is really as peaceful and stable as the Federation promotes, and human beings are already the overlords of the universe, then everything about cards shouldn't be so sought after, and now the whole world puts cards in the first place, driving out an incomparable, unimaginably huge industrial chain, and thus generating a huge source of interests, which seems to be nothing strange, But when it comes to cards, they're just a tool that is mainly used for fighting, so can you really use the power of cards in a peaceful world? There must be something far beyond the beasts and the forces of nature that threatens the human condition, right? ”

Keller was silent for a moment, looked at him deeply, and nodded seriously: "This is actually something that is easy to think of, but you can detect this in the environment created by the Federation, which can be regarded as a good vision." You guessed it, the Federation... No, it should be said that the situation of all mankind is not as good as the Federation advertises, although the desolate beasts and other natural forces are somewhat threatening, but they are not a danger to the safety of all mankind, human beings are indeed the overlords of the near-star universe, but they are only dominating the native universe. ”

"The Celestial Domain? Isn't it ······?"

"Yes, the universe is endless, a large number of planets make up star fields, but the star field is not the largest component unit in the universe, and there is not only one civilization race in the universe, as the sphere of influence of human beings continues to expand, more and more star fields are colonized, and the pace of human beings is getting farther and farther, it is inevitable that contact with other civilizations will follow, and of course, there will be wars.

From the moment they knew that they were not the only intelligent beings in the universe, human beings redivided the universe and divided the sphere of influence into the Celestial Domain, and the Star Domain ruled by an extraterritorial civilization was uniformly called the One Celestial Domain······"

"Wait, you don't mean to say that the real enemy of humanity is the Outland race, do you?"

Qingyin couldn't help but interrupt him, he only felt a little dizzy now: what is this Star Wars sense of immediacy!

"yes, that's all I said, what do you think? Civilizations that can cross the star field have their own strengths even if they are backward, and they are enemies that should not be underestimated, and it is precisely because of their threat that the Federation needs to develop the power of Gensokyo as much as possible.

Na~,It's actually not a bad thing to say.,Because we've always been the one who has the power of the cards.,Now human beings are at least officially at war with the civilizations of the three universes.,There is friction with more than five civilizations in the universe.,What is said in the news about the development of the planet plan、News such as the newly discovered star field,In fact, basically more than half of it is from the hands of other celestial civilizations to plunder the territory,These news are not all fake.,It's just beautified., Describe the above enemies as just alien natives of primitive civilizations.

These are not secrets, but in order to reassure the hearts of the people, there has been a tacit understanding between the high-level forces, and people who have not reached a certain level will not be able to know these inside stories, and you should not talk nonsense, it is not beneficial to spread it. ”

Qingyin was silent for a moment, and nodded a little complicatedly, which was regarded as a response to his admonition.

Seeing him like this, Keller smiled and shook his head and asked, "Do you know why the Federation pays so much attention to the development of the card system?" If it weren't for the power of fantasy cards, it would be impossible for humans to face other races in the state of a strong man, and it is estimated that they would not even be able to resist the invasion of foreign civilizations with the current technology, let alone have a relatively stable life like now. ”

Qingyin had already understood a little, but he was not completely relieved, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "I can also understand the invasion of foreign civilizations by our human beings, after all, the survival of the fittest, there is no mercy to speak of in this regard, and there is nothing else to talk about;

However, I wonder if there is a so-called enemy who can use this reason to trample on human nature with impunity? Is it possible to sacrifice the people who are supposed to be protected in order to pursue the power of the card? Fantasy Cards······ Isn't it for the protection of humanity? Putting the cart before the horse, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Qingyin still said what he was thinking deep in his heart, because he really couldn't accept the ridiculous statement that he would protect humanity at the expense of his strength, and there was no other way for humans to develop cards than this method? Wouldn't mechanical replication, scientific research, creature simulation, and the fantasy creation of card artists meet the demands of warfare?

No kidding! Those low-level biochemical cards are at most trash fish, and it would be a fool to say that they are the key to war, but it is precisely because of this that he wonders why there are always people who are happy to trample on human dignity in this way, and the Federation does not care? Is it true that human beings are so short of cards, so they don't refuse anything?

In the video, Keller looked at him thoughtfully for a while, sighed after a long time, and said faintly: "I think I understand what you are seeing, or so, in that case, I will tell you about the darkness of this world, and I hope you can be mentally prepared." ”

Qingyin looked at him seriously, and replied with a firm look: "I was ready for a long time!" ”
