If that's how you want to put it, then that's fine too.
Since there's no control group, all the smarter employees in the cannon fodder department have jumped ship, and now it's mostly filled with not-so-smart but obedient hosts.
After all... a smart person wouldn't obediently become cannon fodder, would they?
056 is a new student, and his brain (core chip) has problems, so he only sees things in a straightforward way.
Thank you so much, Tongtong! You're the second person to compliment me on being smart. From now on, we're the second best of friends in the world!
The system knew it was stupid, which was for the best, so it replied dismissively, "Alright, alright, go play."
...
056 obediently squatted to one side, watching the main character work in front of her.
Because the face of a mongrel is rather honest, and 056's current body has a lot of fur, it's not normal to be able to see any expression.
Unfortunately, it was in a period of curiosity about the world, and its mind was racing. This human-like quality, more so than that of an ordinary dog, was revealed in its black eyes, which Qi Chu clearly and distinctly captured.
The dog is curiously observing what he is doing.
Feeling the burning gaze, Qi Chu remained calm, responding to the situation with composure.
[Tongtong, this owner is really good-looking; he has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.]
056 didn't know how to describe it, but just felt that this person was fair-skinned and quite good-looking, but looked a bit cold, just like the initial robots in her laboratory, whose personalities had not yet been set.
System: [...Everyone has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.]
056: [But those fierce-looking people yesterday weren't as good-looking as the master.]
Those men were actually Aunt Wang's sons. They weren't bad people by nature, but they were very upset to see their mother using all her pension money to treat her former employer's illness. They originally came to Qi Chu's place to cause trouble, but seeing how miserable he was, they couldn't bring themselves to scold him and had to leave empty-handed.
After observing the novelty for a while, 056 got up and hopped around on its new limbs, bringing with it the canine nature and consciousness of the body it now possessed.
Patrolling their territory is a dog's instinct.
After looking around the bedroom, toilet, kitchen, and living room, 056 turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound was coming from outside the window.
[Many human cubs]
Wow! So many trees and flowers down there! I've never seen so many plants before, it's amazing!
What kind of animal is that? It's flapping its wings so beautifully!
What are those human kids playing? They just slid down in a flash, looks like so much fun!
The newborn robot was quite naive. It stood up and put its paws on the window. With its yellow body and white face, it stared intently at the view below, its tail wagging wildly behind it, and it made one unconscious bark after another, like singing.
They have no idea how others perceive them.
The system reminded it: "Host, you're talking too much."
056 doesn't care whether people want to listen or not. Yesterday, it could happily play all day just by studying its own body in front of the mirror. Now, it can start talking to itself while looking at flowers and plants or playing with the kids downstairs, regardless of whether the system replies to it or not.
Like a child with boundless energy.
[Talking too much? Have I been talking too much? I'm so sorry, everyone.]
056 fell silent, and after a short while, it asked again: "Can I speak in my mind?"
The system didn't say it aloud; it could hear itself speaking in its mind. To prevent 056 from making that silly mistake again, the system asked: "Want to go down and play?"
056 replied: "I don't want to."
System: [You don't like crowds?]
Question 056: [I guess so? I don't know.]
After analyzing the data for a while, and then considering it with half of its own human emotions, the system concluded that it might be a personality generated by the little robot itself.
...
In the living room.
Qi Chu was essentially a workaholic and wasn't constantly observing the dog. He temporarily forgot about the dog's ability to become a spirit and focused on operating the computer.
However, he quickly withdrew his hand, his expression slightly annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, you are no longer the company's president, so I can't help you with this."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, the chairman has told us that we cannot contact you privately, otherwise he will sue us for leaking trade secrets."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, I'm very grateful for your help, but I have a family and a career to manage, so I'm really sorry I can't help you..."
"Xiao Qi, when you stopped my project before, did you never think of this day? I can't help you with the favor you asked for, but if you need to borrow money, three or five hundred, I can still generously lend you some."
"President Qi, I've told you before, leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future. You never showed me any kindness before, but now you want me to stand against the Li family and the Qi family for you? Do you think that's realistic?"
The computer screen was filled with apologies and rejections.
The people Qi Chu sought out were all those who had received great favors from him in the past. It was only natural for others not to help, but what about these people? If he didn't care about personal relationships, these people would have long since disappeared to some unknown corner of the world.
A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; it's just a temporary setback. Want to trample him on? Just wait and see, hehe.
With swift hand movements, a series of mysterious symbols flashed by, finally stopping in front of the hidden and overseas forces established by Qi Chu.
The Li and Qi families are incredibly stupid.
Qi Chu earned his title of "Business Emperor" through his own hard work. How could someone like him be so easily overthrown?
