(Liu Yun Series 2) No CP + Entertainment + Technology
As soon as she arrived, her graduation project was stolen, and she was branded as an imposter. She retaliated by reporting it, and
Airport security received a last-minute assignment to take twelve people to a designated location.
The group of people were like babies who had never seen the world before, their eyes wide with shock.
I feel like my eyeballs are about to pop out.
What did they see in that short distance of no more than 100 meters?
Someone took something out, and with a "whoosh," a car appeared in the marked parking space. Then, a group of people got in the car and drove away happily.
So, the parking lot is so empty because people are using their cars, which is why the cars are there?
Will the car that appears drive away soon?
The whole process felt like I'd done it many times before; it was quick and easy.
“Peter, this…”
Peter's eyes darkened. "The vehicle space really is there."
"I just didn't expect it to have become so widespread."
Strange things from foreign countries are commonplace in Yan Country.
For the first time, everyone felt the technological gap so clearly.
The twelve people were taken to the designated location, where Yun Zhao's men were already waiting.
The male assistant chuckled and pulled out a Poké Ball, releasing a luxurious minibus in front of everyone.
Then invite everyone to get on the bus.
Everyone: ...We want to touch that ball.
However, there was no intention of making anyone else pay any extra attention to them.
Thinking that since they were already there, there would be plenty of opportunities, the group got into the car.
Once on the bus, I realized that all the windows were closed, and I couldn't see outside at all.
A foreigner who's always wanted to see what the cities of Yan are like: ...What? Is it so hard to just take a peek?
The female assistant smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone... vehicles in Yan Country are currently being modified and evolved towards full driverless operation, so the windows are closed when you're in the car, and you're not allowed to look outside for the time being."
"To avoid passengers' words and actions interfering with the autonomous driving system's judgment."
Everyone: ...It sounds reasonable, but something's not right.
Fully driverless, autonomous driving?
Has the Yan Kingdom really come to this?
I glanced instinctively at the driver's seat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, someone was in the driver's seat.
However, I always felt that although the driver had both hands on the steering wheel, he wasn't actually driving.
Is this really self-driving?
Is the driver there to handle unexpected situations?
Judy's expression wasn't good. "Passengers' words and actions can interfere with the autonomous driving system's judgment. This driverless technology is probably not mature enough yet!"
The female assistant smiled and said, "That's why we need to test all the functions during the transition period!"
"You may not know this since you've just arrived in Yan, but Yunzhao Company participated in part of the code development, so they're helping with testing now."
"Isn't there still a driver?"
Foreigners: ...They were speechless.
There was nothing they could do; they couldn't see what was happening outside the window, so they could only change the subject, seemingly trying to find out about Yun Zhao.
For example, where is Liu Yun?
When are you at the company?
Or Yun Zhao, the current operating mechanism of the entertainment industry in Yan Kingdom, etc.
The female assistant was very tactful; she didn't simply refuse or give vague explanations. She was also quite straightforward about things that were common knowledge.
She made a group of foreigners think she was easy to fool, so they focused on getting more information out of her.
In fact, if they thought about it carefully, they would realize that the female assistant never said anything crucial or particularly important.
"By the way, didn't they say a museum opened near Yunzhao's headquarters?"
"When can you take us to see it?"
The female assistant looked regretful: "Originally, after the negotiations were completed and the work was done, we were supposed to take everyone to see the sights and witness the splendor of Yan culture, but it's a bit of a shame about the museum."
"Not only is it not yet completed, but daily tickets are limited, and it is temporarily not open to non-Yan people."
"You need your ID card to buy a ticket, and then you need to scan your face to enter. So... even if you buy a ticket, you can't get in without a Yan country ID card!"
Foreign delegation: ...How come we didn't know about this before? There's such terrible news?
The people who gathered the information were far too careless!
Although they didn't intend to do anything, they just wanted to see the British Empire make a fool of itself, but things didn't go as planned.
Valen: "Can't we make an exception? Don't many places in Yan Kingdom have special passages?"
Just like at the airport, they were clearly in economy class, but they took the first-class route.
The female assistant's smile froze slightly: "I'm sorry, tickets are in high demand right now, and I really can't make an exception."
"Yun Zhao doesn't have such benefits or quotas either!"
"Besides, Yan Kingdom learned about special passages from a certain amusement park! We didn't even know you could do that before!"
It's a theme park, as anyone who's been there knows. There are all-day tickets, but it's always packed!
Everything inside requires queuing.
You probably won't be able to do many activities in a day.
Even so, they still "thoughtfully" introduced something similar to a direct pass, which is about the same price as the expensive ticket, but the passage is different. You don't need to queue, you can just go straight up and enter.
As a result, those who didn't buy through tickets had to wait even longer.
Paying double the price for a "privilege" is a blatant display of class distinctions.
Where money is, privilege is.
Who wouldn't want to make more money?
As a result, many places have started to learn this.
Paying more money allows you to cut in line and get ahead... Honestly, playing this game can easily give you a heart attack, and spending money doesn't necessarily bring you happiness.
Foreign guests: ...The boomerang has returned.
And so, without talking much, the group arrived outside the Yunzhao Building.
Because the vehicle space is more convenient, people rarely go to the parking lot to get out of their cars anymore.
It's actually more convenient to get on the bus in the parking lot, since there's an elevator that goes directly there.
Therefore, a group of foreign guests were placed at the magnificent entrance of Yunzhao headquarters.
After getting off the bus, the foreign guests looked up at the 88-story building, which was very modern and technological. Looking around, the surrounding buildings, even if not as tall, were not bad, and most of them were newly built and looked clean and tidy.
This... is really completely different from what they thought of Yan Country.
Most importantly, among the people coming and going, only a small number were in a hurry, while most were walking at a leisurely pace, exuding a sense of ease.
When I see a group of them, I take a second look.
I've followed you, but that won't be rude.
Meng Xiu was already waiting at the door. As soon as he saw the car, he walked over and politely invited everyone inside.
Of these twelve people, only three are truly insiders.
Entering the Yunzhao Building, I felt like a naive young boy who had never seen the world before, finding everything fascinating.
Putting everything else aside, the level of intelligence within the company building completely exceeds expectations.
The guide robot can lead them on a tour of the company building, explaining things very clearly, and can have very natural conversations.
It communicates normally, and you can tell that its intelligence level is quite high. If it weren't for its cute appearance, you would think it was a real person.
