Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin received a call from Professor Hopkins, hoping to visit him at his home.

In this regard, Pang Xuelin naturally will not refuse.

In the reception room, Hopkins sat on the couch with some unease.

When he got home last night, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into the trap.

Yesterday, he exposed his biggest secret in front of others, but he still doesn't know what Pang Xuelin will let him do next.

Pang Xuelin has already achieved fame and is not short of money, why should he find a smuggling channel that can secretly enter the United States.

Is it used to transport drugs? Ammunition? Or a spy?

No matter what it is, it doesn't seem like a person of Pang Xuelin's identity can do it.

Moreover, Pang Xuelin does not need to do this at all.

"Professor Hopkins, do you need sugar for your coffee?"

"No, no need!"

Hopkins hurriedly responded.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, put a cup of steaming coffee in front of Hopkins, and then mixed another cup of coffee, added some sugar and milk to it, and while stirring, he came to Hopkins and sat down.

"Although I have been living in the United States for a short time, I am still not used to the bitter taste of coffee, I like to add sugar and milk to the coffee, and after blending, the taste is much easier to accept."

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly.

Hopkins took a sip of coffee, raised his eyes to look at Pang Xuelin, and said cautiously: "Professor Pang, can you tell me now, what exactly do you want to use Poseidon to transport?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "That reward was deliberately sent out by me to attract your attention!" ”

As the words fell, Hopkins felt his head buzz and suddenly stood up from the couch.

He felt as if he were the prey of a poisonous snake staring at him for a long time.

For a moment, he felt the urge to run away from the door.

His biggest secret has been exposed in front of Pang Xuelin's eyes, as long as Pang Xuelin reports it a little, what awaits him will be endless prison.

"Professor Hopkins, don't be afraid!"

Pang Xuelin pressed his hands together and motioned for Hopkins to sit down.

Hopkins's chest rose and fell violently, and a pair of eyes stared at Pang Xuelin, and after a long while, he slowly sat down on the sofa.

"Professor Pang, if you feel that you already have my handle in your hand, and you want to coerce me into doing things for you, then I advise you to die as soon as possible, even if I fight to go to prison, I will not give in, and when the time comes, I will announce your reward to the public, so that everyone knows that the famous Professor Pang has an ulterior secret!"

"Ulterior secrets?"

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly: "What secret?" Do you think the police would be willing to believe the words of a thief who stole the scientific research of the U.S. Navy, or would they believe the words of a Fields Medal winner with good reputation? ”

"Ugh!"

Hopkins paused.

Pang Xuelin smiled: "Professor Hopkins, calm down, we are not enemies, and what I want you to do is not illegal." ”

"Not illegal?"

Hopkins was slightly stunned.

"Yes, it's not illegal, but it's dangerous."

"What's the matter?"

Pang Xuelin took out a check from his arms, handed it to Hopkins and said, "This is a bearer check from Citibank, a total of one million US dollars, which is a deposit for me to invite you to do things!" I think this money can temporarily alleviate Professor Hopkins' financial crisis, right? ”

Hopkins' eyes shrank slightly, and he looked up at Pang Xuelin: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "I want to destroy the drug empire of the Colombian drug lord Werner, and I need the help of you and Poseidon." ”

"Huh?"

Hopkins looked at Pang Xuelin in surprise.

Pang Xuelin said: "You don't need to ask more, you just need to answer, whether you are willing to do it or not, if you do, I will give you a commission of 10 million US dollars." In addition, when this is done, I can convince the Caltech executives to set up a laboratory for you to study marine biology! ”

Hopkins said, "What if I don't want to? ”

"Then you can just go, just because we've never seen each other, and I won't tell anyone the secret that you have Poseidon!"

Hopkins was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, picked up the check from the coffee table, put it in his pocket, and said, "Okay, I did it with you!" ”

After Hopkins left, the living room fell silent.

I don't know how long later, a strange electronic voice sounded in the living room: "Professor Pang, this Hopkins is not a good person, beware of his backlash!" ”

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, laughed, and said, "MOSS, can you see this?" ”

"I've been studying psychology recently, studying the inner workings of characters through the changes in their facial expressions. During this time, I have established a relatively complete mathematical model of micro-expressions, and the preliminary estimate of the accuracy of prediction can reach about 95%. ”

Pang Xuelin laughed.

Since MOSS moved into the quantum computer, the way MOSS speaks and does things has changed a little.

For example, the study of psychology is done spontaneously.

and MOSS even took the initiative to take a few hacking task orders on the dark web, which helped Pang Xuelin earn a lot of activity funds.

Pang Xuelin has a faint feeling that perhaps in quantum computers, the coherence and superposition of quantum have made MOSS gradually transform from a top-level weak artificial intelligence to a strong artificial intelligence.

"MOSS, TELL ME ABOUT HOPKINS CHATTING WITH ME TODAY, WHAT CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED IN HIS PSYCHOLOGY?"

"When he first came over, Hopkins should have been in a state of unease and panic, because he realized that your meeting with him yesterday didn't let him grasp anything, but his biggest secret was exposed to you. On the one hand, he is worried that you will use his secret to blackmail him into doing things, and on the other hand, he wants to get the 10 million dollar bounty you offered, which is a very ambivalent mentality. ”

"When you tell him that the bounty was just deliberately sent out to get his attention, he is suddenly in a state of anger and fear, angry that your bounty is just a scam, and the fear is that you use such a scam to fish him, which means that you already know all his secrets, and you are undoubtedly going to completely control him by making such a layout."

"Later, when you took out a check for $1 million as a deposit and told him that you would convince Caltech executives to help him set up a marine biology research laboratory, he was in a state of excitement and a little scared. Because he knows very well that this is just a decoy you throw. ”

"When you say that your goal is to destroy Werner's drug empire, he is relieved, but he is also in a state of doubt, and even a hint of greed. Because drug lords will also have large sums of cash and even drugs in their hands. ”
