"Wow, its reaction is so human-like!"
"Right? So, our company's technology is pretty impressive..."
Xia Xiaobing sat at her desk in her bedroom, listening to the sounds coming from her headphones. She could tell that one of the voices was Lu Zhe's, while the other was undoubtedly that of a young, unfamiliar girl.
Their conversation could be heard through the headphones, while the computer screen in front of them displayed a choice tree created by artificial intelligence.
Xiao Qiu is indeed an AI that is currently being upgraded, and it can converse with the tester without any additional manipulation. However, if necessary, the AI's selection tree can be modified using background permissions, and even output statements can be written directly.
At this point, the AI chose to recognize the two sentences as a conversation between humans, rather than as something spoken to it, and therefore remained silent.
Xia Xiaobing listened quietly without altering the AI's choice tree.
She listened to the sound coming from the speaker...
"You just got back from playing soccer, so get some rest. I'll order takeout." It was that unfamiliar girl's voice again.
“Okay, you’re the employer, you’re in charge.” That was what Lu Zhe said.
Xia Xiaobing opened the mind map and marked two words: "Employer".
Next, she drew four clues after this word, and entered a question on each clue:
Is she Lu Zhe's employer?
Under what pretext?
Is there any actual compensation?
How to get started?
The conversation between the two continued through the earphones.
The strange girl asked again, "Xiao Qiu, are you a boy or a girl?"
The AI automatically answered: "I am a third gender besides boy and girl. Xiao Qiu is Xiao Qiu, neither a boy nor a girl."
The girl's voice couldn't help but chuckle: "Then let me ask you, do you think I'm a boy or a girl?"
The AI automatically replied: "Of course you're a cute girl!"
Lu Zhe: "Your questions are too simple. Ask me some more ambiguous and harder-to-answer questions."
Girl: "Okay, Xiao Qiu, guess where this place is?"
The AI was about to say "I don't know," but Xia Xiaobing stopped it abruptly before it could respond.
She thought for less than a second before her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out another sentence for Xiao Qiu to read aloud.
"This isn't the company office, so it must be a rented apartment."
Lu Zhe immediately said, "Miss Tang, why would you need to rent a place? Although I can understand that, you're completely wrong."
So your surname was Tang?
Xia Xiaobing's lips curled slightly, and her hands kept typing out Xiao Qiu's next line.
"The housing prices in Chengdu have gone up again. It must have been very difficult for you to buy a house, right?"
Lu Zhe added, "First of all, this house has nothing to do with me. Secondly, given Miss Tang's wealth, a house worth less than ten million is simply not worth considering."
Xia Xiaobing continued to alter Xiao Qiu's lines, making it say, "Then, Miss, you must be a big boss, right? That's amazing!"
Girl: "No, it's my dad who's in business..."
Over there, the conversation between the AI, Lu Zhe, and the strange girl continued. Xia Xiaobing listened quietly, only occasionally changing the AI's lines. Before long, she had collected a lot of information that was half true and half false.
For example, Xia Xiaobing could detect a hint of Cantonese in the girl's accent. From the girl's lively and unguarded speech habits, Xia Xiaobing concluded that she was likely an only child.
This information is undoubtedly very important; after all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. The problem is...
"This is really terrible. This behavior is undoubtedly a violation of privacy."
Xia Xiaobing muttered to herself and sighed softly. But her hands didn't stop moving at all. She recorded all the confirmed information and unconfirmed speculations into a mind map.
Suddenly, the sound of knocking and opening the door came through the earpiece, along with the girl saying, "This is my bodyguard, Zhan Hao. Zhan Hao, this is my assistant, Lu Zhe."
Immediately afterwards, an unfamiliar male voice said, "Ms. Tang, I'm here for my routine business."
As she listened further, Xia Xiaobing frowned slightly—she realized that the identity of this 'Miss Tang' might be more complicated than she had initially imagined.
————
After the knocking, Lu Zhe opened the door and saw a strange man. At that moment, he was completely bewildered.
Fortunately, Tang Qi ran over and introduced them: "This is my bodyguard, Zhan Hao. Zhan Hao, this is my assistant, Lu Zhe."
This bodyguard, Zhan Hao, was an ordinary-looking young man, only slightly tall. Dressed in a simple casual T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, he looked no different from any other passerby on the street. Who would have thought that such a person was actually the bodyguard of a wealthy heiress?
Zhan Hao smiled and said, "Miss Tang, I'm here for routine business."
Lu Zhe stepped aside to let him in, but still seemed a little puzzled: "Just a routine matter?"
As Zhan Hao walked inside, he explained, "It's just a routine check of the room to eliminate any dangers and make sure there are no cameras, listening devices, or anything like that. Of course, in most cases there aren't any, so it's just a formality."
After entering the house, the bodyguard walked around the various rooms, scanning them with a device.
Upon inspecting the living room and spotting the small, exquisitely designed speaker, Zhan Hao glanced at it briefly and then dropped the matter. After all, these kinds of speakers are incredibly common on the market. As long as there weren't any hidden cameras or listening devices installed, there was no need to worry. Who would bother guarding the most crucial part of a speaker?
