Chapter 110 Chapter 110
When mentioning "Qingzhou Technology", Xia Muqing immediately remembered the logo that shocked her at the time.
Although she later checked and found that this logo was similar to the tattoo on Boss Zhao's arm in shape but completely different in details, this incident still left a deep impression on her - there was no way, the mysterious beasts suffered too much damage in the last battle with the poaching gang.
Xia Muqing didn't dare to believe in the concept of "corporate social responsibility" for a moment, and pulled Chi Zi aside to ask him about a lot of details.
Chi Zi was also a little stunned by her question. "Qingzhou Technology... I remember the information said that they didn't have a gaming business before, but they recently acquired a gaming company in the industry, which is why they are qualified to participate in the bidding."
"Among the several companies that bid, they were the most cooperative and willing to make the most concessions in the contract."
"And their technology is very professional, in no way inferior to those of the industry leaders, and much better than we imagined. After all, at the beginning, the team leader didn't believe that a medium-sized company could have any professional technology to show for it..."
The more Xia Muqing listened, the more frightened she became.
On the positive side, this tech company demonstrates a long-term investment vision, hoping to capitalize on the evolving gaming industry, willing to sacrifice significant profits to do so. On the other hand, the company is undoubtedly driven by profitability. Does this reckless pursuit of the project also harbor hidden agendas?
In order to squeeze into the project, they simply acquired a gaming company.
The purposefulness is really strong!
After much thought, Xia Muqing could only guess because there was no evidence.
She told Chi Zi about the tattoo, and meeting his surprised gaze, she lowered her eyelids slightly in embarrassment. "It's just a resemblance in appearance. I don't have any further evidence. But Teacher Chi Zi, just call it my intuition. I have a feeling this company is not simple."
Chi Zi touched his chin and said noncommittally: "...Well, since you said so, I'll do some more research on the background of this company."
In fact, even if Xia Muqing didn't say this, they would still have to launch an investigation. After all, they are future long-term partners.
…
Because of this incident, Xia Muqing's excitement about getting the Ark subsystem was almost gone. On the way back to the dormitory with Xiaoxue, she was still daydreaming, constantly thinking about the origins of Qingzhou Technology.
Several mysterious beasts were much more excited than her. As soon as they entered the door, they came out one after another and surrounded Xiaoxue, looking at her curiously.
The Swift Dog extended its wet nose and sniffed Xiaoxue carefully from head to toe, then sneezed softly: "Awooo?"
There is no smell, no scent of the mysterious beast.
The Yin-Yang butterfly also landed on Xiaoxue's head curiously, flapping its wings: "Yaa."
If you can't feel emotions, you're not really alive.
"Eh?"
Do you want to... now?
The koi fish flapped its fins, interrupting the Yin-Yang butterfly: "Gurgle gurgle."
Oh, wait a minute, let’s talk about it later!
It glanced at Xia Muqing and rolled its eyes: "Gulu?"
Master, this thing looks stupid, not as smart as I said before. How do you drive it? Can it talk?
The noisy sounds of the mysterious beasts pulled Xia Muqing back from her complicated thoughts.
She smiled and shook her head, patting the little koi's head. "Its name is Xiaoxue. You have to call it by its name, and then it can answer your questions."
"Well, that's not quite right. The Ark system probably doesn't understand the language of the Mystical Beasts... But that's okay. Poke its chest. See this touchpad? You can write instructions directly on it, and it will act according to your orders."
"For example..."
Xia Muqing connected the power supply and the network, and while charging, she tentatively wrote on Xiaoxue's touchpad: [Qingzhou Technology]
The Ark subsystem flashed with a faint blue light, and in just a few seconds, a long string of information interfaces related to Qingzhou Technology popped up and projected into the air.
A transparent interface like a fluorescent screen unfolded in mid-air. This technologically advanced scene made the eyes of several mysterious beasts light up, and they all let out excited shouts.
Xia Muqing was also surprised by its operating speed, but then she thought, the Ark host has powerful performance that can even simulate the data of mysterious beasts. She has invested so much elemental fluid in this subsystem, and using it as a browser now is just a waste of talent.
"Let me see... Wow, this is quite a collection of information."
Xiaoxue is obviously much easier to use than a browser. Xia Muqing tried to give it more detailed instructions. It can use intelligence that is extremely close to that of humans to filter and analyze the collected information, and finally come up with the highly relevant answer that Xia Muqing wants.
He is simply the best assistant for scientific research. No wonder all the project team members like little Ark so much.
A lot of information on the Internet is not straightforward, but if someone is willing to organize it, they can infer the desired answer through some seemingly irrelevant content. What Xiaoxue can do now is this screening and classification process.
Xia Muqing copied the large amount of information she had found into her notebook and ran impatiently to the study room downstairs: "Xiaofeng, you guys should have a good rest in the dormitory and help me keep an eye on Xiaoxue!"
The Ark subsystem has a very strong battery life, but it takes a long time to charge when it is turned on for the first time. Xia Muqing left it in the dormitory and only took the copied data away.
But what she didn't know was that as soon as she stepped out of the dormitory door, several mysterious beasts behind her excitedly surrounded the Ark subsystem.
"Gurgle!"
The master is not here, hurry up!
"Aiya!"
Here it comes! Emotional energy, let’s go!
A ball of colorful energy landed on the Ark subsystem, and the shimmering light seemed like flowing gelatin, slowly enveloping the entire snowman.
Under the impact of the energy, the Ark extension also underwent slight changes. The position of its eyes flickered faintly, and countless garbled codes flashed by.
“Sizzle—sizzle—”
Tiny, thunder-like sparks swirled around the snowman. As a confidential Ark subsystem of the research group, it also possessed strong defensive capabilities, capable of blocking external profound force attacks to a certain extent.
At this moment, wrapped in the energy of the Yin-Yang Butterfly, its defense module was awakened, and its skin turned into large ice-blue, snowflake-like translucent blocks, resolutely blocking the penetration of the mysterious power!
The solid barrier blocked the profound energy, and several profound beasts looked on with disappointment. The little koi fish flicked its tail and spit out a string of bubbles in disgust: "Gurgle."
No, little stupid butterfly, you can't even handle a robot, how boring.
Liang Yi Butterfly puffed her lips in anger: "Aiya!"
It didn't use its full strength just now because it was afraid of damaging the small Ark.
Just wait and see, it'll happen again, and this time it'll definitely be able to attach its emotional energy to this guy!
The little koi fish, enjoying the fun, clapped its fins repeatedly: "Gululu!"
Great, it likes this momentum! Come on, little silly butterfly!
The Swift Dog squatted aside, watching the atmosphere in the house gradually become lively. The usually steady dog gradually had a bad premonition.
“Ouch…”
Take it easy, you guys can do the experiment, but don’t ruin the snowman that the owner worked so hard to make.
Koi fish: "Gulp!"
Oh, what are you afraid of? Don't you want a living Digimon... no, a Digimon?
We can help you play games, watch anime with you, and grab out-of-print cards. You will never have to worry about not getting orders if we stay online 24 hours a day!
Swift Dog: “???”
What does it need those for!
But then again, Gale Dog was also very curious about whether the little snowman in front of him could turn into an intelligent mysterious beast.
It propped up its chin, thought again and again, and finally decided not to inform Xia Muqing for the time being and wait and see what results those two guys could come up with.
It definitely wasn't betraying its master; it just wanted to give him a surprise. After all, based on its understanding of Xia Muqing, if the little snowman could become an intelligent mystical beast, Xia Muqing would definitely be very happy!
The three mysterious beasts reached a consensus, and then with the efforts of the Yin-Yang Butterfly, a larger energy with more intense emotional fluctuations was gradually condensed.
The energy bead carried by the Yin-Yang Butterfly has been dyed a brilliant orange-red like a flame. The surging emotions have turned into a solid stream, rising and falling like waves in the translucent bead - all positive emotions such as joy and enthusiasm. The Yin-Yang Butterfly is very clear about the harmful effects of negative emotions. The little snowman is now more like a blank sheet of paper than it was before. It will never allow any negative emotions to invade little Ark's mind.
Concentrate and throw out!
"Bang!"
A strong mysterious current surged in the dormitory. The strong wind made the books on the table flip violently, and the curtains by the window also fluttered violently.
Energy gathered around the little snowman, turning its snow-white appearance into a brilliant light red.
“Crack, crack…”
The ice surface of the snowman's defense was scorched by the blazing energy, nearly melting. But even under the intense energy impact, its defense module continued to operate tenaciously, its eyes flashing a dangerous red light.
"Alarm, alarm! External energy exceeds the threshold!"
"Defense energy is insufficient, self-destruct program has been activated, countdown 5, 4..."
The mysterious beasts: "!!!"
The mysterious beasts were unaware of the project team's determination to protect secrets. They did not expect that little Ark would be so straightforward and decisive. He could not resist and was about to self-destruct. They were all dumbfounded.
How can you play it like this? At least give us a trial range!
The Yin-Yang Butterfly frantically recovered its energy. The profound energy it had previously spent so much effort to condense was absorbed directly back in the shortest possible time, and in one breath it sucked itself into a ball: "Ah...ah!"
The Windhound also exhaled a breath of frost, blowing away all the remaining energy, leaving only the clean little snowman Ark.
But it was no use. The Ark subsystem was determined to self-destruct. Once the program was launched, there was no room for maneuver. The cold countdown was accompanied by a shrill alarm: "3, 2..."
The mysterious beasts were sweating coldly and were at a loss as to what to do. The little koi bravely rushed forward and swung its tail hard at the snowman Ark!
Disorder, start!
"Disorder" is indeed a magical weapon against the enemy. Under its disruption, Ark's program fell into chaos, the shrill alarm sounded paused for a moment, the flashing red light gradually dimmed, and the countdown got stuck at the last second and disappeared silently.
The little snowman didn't explode.
But obviously, it has not recovered to its original state - it stood there frozen as if facing a great enemy, and the crystal shell on its body was still hard.
The explosion aborted, and the mysterious beasts breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at the strangely shaped snowman, they all began to feel a headache. The koi fish slapped its tail guiltily, glancing at the Swift Dog, then at the Yin-Yang Butterfly, deciding to pick on the weak.
"Gulu?"
Xiao Zi, can you go and see how it is?
Liang Yi Butterfly was bewildered: "...Ahhh."
Dare not move, dare not move.
