Chapter 2: First Encounter
Until the end of school, Guo Minghao spent half a day at school without incident, and it seems that Nangong Xiao didn't take it seriously. This is also normal, according to her character, she will not go out of her way to tell the support group about it and let them teach Guo Minghao a lesson. Originally, Xiao Ye was just scaring him, but who knew that he was still looking forward to it. So nowβ
"You seem to be very lost."
After school, we walked to the school gate together. Guo Minghao lowered his head all the way.
"You're disappointed that you didn't get a lesson?" Xiao Ye's tone was the same as always.
"No, I'm thinking about things." He looked up suddenly.
"Huh?"
"It won't be in YY Nangong again."
"Go aside, I'm a serious person."
"Then what are you thinking, carefree young master?"
"Didn't you tell me to go somewhere with me in the morning? Now I'm getting ready to go. β
"Oh, what is it, so what is it?"
"The new product [Chuangzhi Machine] will be released."
"Hey, you're going there!"
"Are you going to buy one?"
"That's right, yesterday on the official website has released the promotional information of the relevant model, just now I was thinking about which type to buy."
"I envy you rich people."
"If we want to buy it, we'll have to go bankrupt."
The research on him can be traced back to a hundred years ago, and was finally successfully developed and initially launched two years ago by the leading scientific research industry [Cutting-edge Research Institute]. Chuangzhi machine is a kind of all-bionic robot, the full name is [all-bionic Chuangzhi robot], which is no different from ordinary all-bionic robots in appearance, but it is far superior to the latter in terms of performance, and it can be said to be an updated version of the latter. The Chuangzhi machine is equipped with the latest crystal chip [Hongjing], which makes his system processing speed and motion response ability much stronger than that of ordinary fully bionic robots. In addition, each machine will be specially strengthened for a certain aspect to make it proficient in a specific field. For example, the Chuangzhi machine invested in the takeaway industry, the leg structure has been strengthened, the running speed can reach 120 km/h, and after a long time of exercise, it will not feel tired like humans, and a [takeaway Chuangzhi machine] can receive more than 500 takeaways a day, which greatly improves the efficiency of food delivery.
In addition to the use of professional fields, the year before last, the creation of intelligent machines also began to open to the whole public. From time to time, there will be sales or auctions of creative machines officially authorized by cutting-edge research institutes. As the crystallization of high-end technology, the price of Chuangzhiji is naturally relatively expensive. When it was first launched the year before last, the average price of a car was 300~5 million, which was two or three times that of a flyable car. The price at auction is even worse, and it can even be sold for nearly 10 million. In this era, the annual income of an ordinary class office worker is only about 2 million, that is, buying a smart machine will almost consume the savings of an ordinary family for three or four years. Even if conditions like Guo Minghao are available, they can only afford one or two units at most in the short term, and if you want to say that you can buy them casually, you can only buy them from well-known big families such as the Nangong family.
However, since the second half of last year, Chuangzhi has a trend of price reduction. At that time, it happened to be the closing of the first Chuangzhi King Competition, and the competition created a good publicity effect, and Chuangzhi Machine set off a wave of enthusiasm among the whole people, especially young people. Probably to encourage purchases, the price of the creative machine began to gradually decline. Now, there are more and more people who have a smart machine, and there are many people who follow the trend and buy it purely to pretend to be a big guy. No, Guo Minghao also fell in. Perhaps in the future, the creation of intelligent machines will be popularized in every family in the whole society.
"But what's the use of you buying this?" I was puzzled.
"It's not just for stinky showmanship, is it?"
"Of course not, I'm going to use him."
"Enter! You don't mean that, do you? β
"yes, what else can I do but that?"
"You actually want to participate in the [Wisdom King Competition]?"
"It's better to not only participate, but also to win."
The full name of the "Wisdom King Competition" is a fighting competition held exclusively between the Wisdom Machines since last year. The organizers are the Institute of Advanced Studies and the Association of Eight Universities, which are: Yaomeng Gakuen, Ichi University, No. 3 University, National No. 5 University, Gwangmu University, Xinghai Gakuen, Xindu University, and Puchuan University, which are the eight leading universities in terms of scientific research achievements.
The person who registers for the competition must be the [Master] of the Wisdom Machine, that is, the owner who has carved the [contract] with the Wisdom Machine. The so-called [contract] means that the owner of a certain creative machine imprints the palm of his right hand on the macro crystal of the creative intelligence machine to complete the certification of the creative intelligence machine to the master. From then on, the Wisdom Machine will only obey the orders of the Master, and it will completely belong to the Master. It is worth mentioning that one Wisdom Machine can only belong to one Master, but a Master can have multiple Wisdom Machines, and of course, he must have enough money. If the Master has the relevant knowledge and skills, he can also modify and upgrade his own Genesis by himself. The contract is only applicable to the [Civil Innovation Machine], and those [Public Innovation Machines] working in a specific field have a different macro crystal structure and cannot be contracted, in other words, they will not become anyone's exclusive Innovation Machine.
"You still want to win the championship, it's not a small tone, but what are you doing this for?" Xiao Ye asked.
"Did you watch the first competition last year?"
"Well, I watched the live broadcast on the computer."
"Have you seen the Nangong family's creative intelligence?"
"Well, I have an impression, I remember that the Nangong family participated in the competition as the eldest son of the Nangong family, that is, Nangong Xiao's brother Nangong Wangchuan."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Nangong family won the runner-up last year."
"I also remember that their Chuangzhi machine is very special, it's called Suzaku."
"That is the trump card body of the Nangong family, which is specially customized at the tip at a high price, and it is said that the trump card machines of the [Four Famous Families] are specially customized there." Guo Minghao said. From just now, his expression was very serious.
"In other words, the top four in last year's competition are the four famous families."
[Four Famous Families], namely the Beiming Family, the Nangong Family, the Tanglin Family, and the Xixiang Family, are the four most wealthy and powerful families in the country. Each family is dominant, deep-rooted, and powerful.
"Well, I can almost say that I swept the other players during the game, crushing them without any suspense."
"It seems that the high-priced customized Chuangzhi machine is much stronger, and being rich is capricious."
"Hey, did the kind of ordinary machine you bought at the sale beat their invincible machines?" Xiao Ye squinted his eyes and said, "If I am ruthlessly killed, I will die of laughter." β
"This won't happen, because this year's four big names have confirmed that they will not participate, and they will join the organizer and sponsor the competition throughout the competition, and this year's event is expected to be even grander."
"How did you know this inside scoop?"
"Haha, contemptible, my dad's company happens to be one of the sponsors of the competition, I heard it from my dad."
"Yours is the real thing."
"But until now, I still don't understand what your purpose is to win the championship."
"There will be a friendly challenge after this king match, and the opponent is the ace machine of the four famous families - Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, Qinglong, and White Tiger. Only the top four in this tournament are eligible to challenge them, and the top four have the right to pick their opponents at will. β
"So, you're going to pick Suzaku as your opponent?"
"That's right."
"I probably understand, it turns out that the ultimate goal is still on Nangong Xiao."
"Brother's sister should go to see it, you want to perform well in front of Nangong Xiao, right?"
"Hehe, according to the grapevine, Nangong Xiao admires and admires her brother very much, and she will 100% watch Nangong Wangchuan's game on the spot. If I can defeat her brother this time, hum hum..."Here it is, Guo Minghao's squinting demeanor is exposed, and it is estimated that he is in YY again.
"But back to that question, has your machine ever hit Suzaku?"
"Although it is true that I am completely unsure, even if I can barely open it, it can still impress Nangong Xiao." Guo Minghao's eyes suddenly became sharp, "I have already done detailed research on the ability of the Vermilion Bird, and this time I went to the release meeting to find out if there is a model that can compare the ability of the Suzaku Bird." β
"It's a pretty good plan, but only if you finish in the top four before you can do anything else."
"yes, don't have any accidents and don't even get the ranking, then it's a waste of effort."
"Well, I'll be cautious."
"Wuwei, I'm still not very worried about Ming Hao, I won't go to the hospital this time, I'll go with Ming Hao to help him staff on the sale."
"Well, no problem, how many times have I said don't call me that."
"Ha, brotherhood is still reliable at the critical moment."
"I'll definitely be visiting Mio with you next week."
"Okay, then I'll go this way."
Out of the school gate, I walked into the space shuttle station and clicked on the station in the direction of the central hospital. And Xiao Ye got on Guo Minghao's flying car, and we headed towards our respective destinations.
[Ward 904, Central Hospital]
Open the door to the familiar ward. I put the bouquet of lilies into the vase on the table next to me. There was already another bouquet of flowers on the table.
On the hospital bed, Lu Mio was still lying there quietly. Her face was still so fair, pure without a trace of impurities, but unfortunately, there was not the slightest expression. In the past, she smiled so innocently, and I missed her clear and bright eyes and lovely dimples. My eyes were wet.
More than a year ago, my sister had an accident. By the time I knew, it was already the moment I got a call from the police.
"When we arrived at the scene, we only found Miss Lu Mio, she was seriously injured, a bullet pierced the left side of her forehead, and there were traces of fierce fighting at the scene." One of the policemen in charge said this to me.
"I'm sorry, we tried our best, Miss Lu's brain has suffered a lot of damage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up again."
Outside the operating room, my parents and I were in tears.
"You mean my daughter is in a vegetative state?" My father, who had always been strong, couldn't stop crying.
"Please save Mio, you must have a way, right?" The mother tugged at the doctor in pain.
I didn't speak, I just banged my fist on the wall, venting my pain and unwillingness to it.
In retrospect, there were fortunate places in the misfortune. If the brain was severely damaged more than 100 years ago, it would have died incurably. My sister is in this era of highly developed medicine, which can be regarded as a little luck. Although she can't wake up and can't do anything now, I have always believed that there will be a day when she will wake up, the day when she will affectionately call my name again.
"It is speculated that there was a fierce brawl between two groups at the dock scene, and your sister should have accidentally passed by and was accidentally injured by a stray bullet."
A few days later, I was called to the bureau to inform me of the progress of the case.
"Does the murderer have a clue?" I couldn't help but ask excitedly.
"It's a pity that the scene was cleaned up very clean, and the criminals were supposed to be a professional gang, and no other valuable clues were found, except for this." The policeman said and pulled out a transparent bag containing a bullet.
"What is this?"
"The bullet was found on a container shell, and it was stuck on the container shell at the time, I think it was probably because it was dark and time was tight, and the killer didn't have time to find this when he cleaned up the scene."
"Could it be..."
"That's right, after the blood stains left on the bullet, it was confirmed that this is the bullet that pierced your sister's head, and the bullet flew through the container and finally got stuck on it."
"You should be able to find the type of gun based on the bullet, and then you can definitely know the murderer by checking the source and circulation channels of the gun."
"You know a lot about our case-handling process."
"Oh, I'm more interested in criminal investigation, and I've read some related books and materials."
"But here's the blame, this bullet is a model we've never seen before, at least in the existing firearms database, there is no type of gun that fits this bullet."
"It's... Is that the clue broken? Then my sister..."
"I'm sorry, I'll keep you informed if there are any new developments in the case."
After that time, my sister's case was closed. I don't know what happened at the time, only that the killer who killed my sister is still at large.
I really wanted to do something for my sister, I also went to that pier afterwards, but as the police said, all traces were erased. I have a hunch that the organization in which the murderer is located is not simple.
My sister needs a lot of money for treatment every year in order to stay alive, and I also need a lot of tuition and living expenses to go to university. So in order to make more money, my parents work hard all day long and rarely come home, so now I am usually the only one at home.
I wiped tears from the corners of my eyes and turned my gaze to the table.
"It's the same flower again."
About a year ago, I would send in a bouquet of the same lilies every week, a slightly different color from the one I bought. I asked my parents and they said they didn't send it. I asked the nurse on duty again, and she said that she hadn't noticed anyone coming to my sister's room, sometimes the flowers were found on Thursday morning, sometimes on Friday morning. So I speculate that the person who delivered the flowers should have come to deliver them in the dead of night, so as not to be discovered.
But why did he do it? It's not illegal to send flowers to visit the sick, and it's not a shameful thing, so why don't you want me to know his identity?
I tried squatting near my sister's hospital room on Wednesday and Thursday nights to see who was delivering the flowers, but every time I squatted until almost dawn I found nothing. Since I had to go to class during the day, I definitely couldn't stand it every time I tossed around, so I gave up after trying a few times without success.
"Mio, it's time for me to go, I'll come to see you next time." I gently stroked Mio's forehead, and the shrapnel wound was faintly visible.
Out of the hospital, I walked to the space shuttle station in front of me while thinking about the person who delivered the flowers.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
There was a commotion behind me, and as soon as I turned my head, a flyable car was coming straight at me. At this speed and distance, I have no time to dodge.
The front of the car was about to collide with me, and suddenly, time seemed to stand still.
"Ahh
When I looked up, it was a scene that shocked meβ
A man grabbed the front of the car with both hands and forcibly stopped the car. No, that kind of power should not be human, but a creative machine......
