“This… is it just me?” Tang Muxin looked at everyone around and shook her head with certainty. “No! It’s definitely not!”
A drop of tear rolled down Lin Chuyin’s face. Lin Chuyin didn’t have any expression on her face as she stared blankly, mumbling to herself, “Is this… a tear? I cried? But… why are there no changes to my expression…”
Li Nianwei gently covered her mouth and tears trickled down from her face. Looking at Little Meow in Tang Muxin’s arms, she thought, Little Meow, you’ll definitely recover… because Young Master… is someone who creates miracles…
As Hong Dali rested his head on Li Nianwei’s lap, he silently exchanged all the money that he had squandered during this period of time. Then, he opened the technology side branch in the system—
“Host currently has a total of 12 attribute points. Please choose how to use them.”
“Usage Method one: Upgrade skill [machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation]. Usage Method two: Upgrade skill [gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement].”
“Usage method three: Choose a new welfare side branch.”
“There are currently two welfare side branch to choose from: [Technology], [Survival]. (Note: You can choose more than one.)”
Upon hearing the voice of the System in his head, Hong Dali directly said without even thinking, “I choose the Technology side branch!”
System: “Technology is mainly about using attribute points to exchange for engineering blueprints. Please confirm.”
Why would he even need to hesitate?
Hong Dali: “Confirm.”
After he said this, very quickly, the System responded: “Host has chosen the [Technology] side branch. Please wait.”
Ding.
Very quickly, a soft sound echoed in his head. Soon after, a long progress bar appeared before his eyes. The progress bar advances slowly forward, and at the same time, the System said: “Checking current required technology of the host. Please wait…”
After it had scanned through the progress bar for about two minutes, the System sounded again—
“Technology 1: Neural-connection technology blueprint. Attribute points needed: 30 points. Introduction to the blueprint: Produced according to the current practical wishes of the host. Content: Able to bridge the connection between the technology and the neural signals in a living thing’s brain. Main function: Control the endoskeleton to carry out operations according to the will of the living thing.”
“Technology 2: Voice Control technology blueprint. Attribute points needed: 30 points. Introduction to the blueprint: Voice Control technology for exclusive use by lazy people. Main function: Recognize the orders given by the voice by the lazy person, able to allow the lazy person to control all electrical equipment in the room without having to do anything.”
These two technology blueprints…
Hong Dali was stunned.
The first one could be said to be specially designed for Little Meow. That was what Hong Dali wanted most as well at the present moment. But as for the second one… this thing looked really awesome! Does it mean that in future, once I enter the room and say “Switch on the lights,” the lights would light up at once! And then, when I say “Turn on the computer!” the computer will be turned on at once?!
That’s good, that’s good!
Hong Dali instantly got excited. “Wahahahaha, I’ll make my house like this in future! Once I reach the door, I’ll directly say ‘Open the door!’ and the door will open by itself. Humph, humph, humph… In the future, I can just lie on my bed and watch TV without even having to take the remote control…”
Just as he was thinking of that, Hong Dali felt that someone had pushed him hard, and as he opened his eyes, Tang Muxin’s eyes were red as she pouted her little mouth and said, “Dali, Little Meow is so pitiful. Can you help it?!”
“Little Meow?” Hong Dali looked around. “I think I’ve just felt its troubles and injustice just now. Don’t be anxious, let’s think of a way to study into it. Otherwise, what there so many technology personnel for? Let it bear with it for a few days first. By then, I’ll ask Uncle Chief to think of a way!”
He couldn’t talk about the System in his head. And it was useless to fret about it now, he’d have to squander 30 million to exchange for that blueprint…
Tang Muxin knew that Hong Dali was right. There wasn’t really any use to be anxious over this. Thus, she sniffled and hugged Little Meow even more tightly. “Little Meow is so pitiful. Just now, I seemed to have heard it speak to me! Aye, Dali, do you think that cats are psychic?!”
“It should be the case.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “It’s said that cats have nine lives. There’s really a possibility that they are psychic. Moreover, our Little Meow is not an ordinary cat. Don’t fret, let’s slowly think of a way.” Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali suddenly thought of something. “Aye, right. Xinxin, doesn’t your family run a medical company? En, Little Meow probably doesn’t have much use for medicine, but can ordinary artificial limbs be made?”
“I’m not sure.” Tang Muxin shook her head. “My family is currently still carrying out that plan. They don’t have spare time for this.”
“Oh, I’d have forgotten about that…” Hong Dali thought for a while. “That traitor hasn’t been found yet?” As he spoke, he glanced at Little Meow, then his gaze was diverted to Quentin who was acting coy and cute and cozying up at the side. An idea came to his mind. “Hahaha, I know, I know. This time, I’ve got an even better idea. Let’s hurry up to solve that traitor issue in your family, then we can start to develop the artificial limbs. Isn’t there a medical team upstairs as well? By then, we’ll ask them to help out. And with Chuyin as well, there’ll definitely not be any problem!”
En, this will work!
With the blueprint and the medical development team, coupled with Uncle Chief and Lin Chuyin, I don’t believe that Little Meow can’t be treated!
“Uh, OK.” Lin Chuyin looked at Little Meow, and there was a rare hint of warmth in her voice as she said, “I want to cure it too.”
“Hahahaha! That’s settled, then! Everybody, let’s work hard together!” After deciding on the goal, Hong Dali ordered his lackeys. “Help me carry a dog over. En, I want the smaller type—the smaller and cuter, the better, and it’s best if there’s more fur on it. Hurry up and go!”
By now, everyone was used to Hong Dali’s amazing ways. Hong Dali could get close to animals, and now he could even get Quentin to understand his orders. Now that he wanted to get a dog, it must be of big use.
If not, why would Hong Dali be so popular? This fellow was very kind. Thus, it was not surprising that he could connect with animals through telepathy.
Very quickly, a male lackey brought over a cute little white dog.
That was actually just an ordinary stray dog. However, under the delicate care of the pet groomers on the first floor, this little white dog looked relatively cute and pretty. It even had a little red bow on its neck!
“This is good, this is good.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “Doggy, come, smile!”
The little white dog instantly bared its teeth, and its cute looks amused everyone around.
“En, not bad, not bad.” Hong Dali was very satisfied. Afterward, he turned his head and asked Lin Chuyin, “Chuyin, can that small surveillance device of yours be made smaller to hang it on that little bow tie on its neck? Or directly put it inside the bow tie?”
Hearing that, Tang Muxin instantly understood. “Dali, you mean to… use this little dog as a watchdog?!”
“Correct!” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “Think about it, no matter how shrewd that traitor is, he’d definitely not think that this little white dog would be our spy, right? We’ll just let it wait in guard in the laboratory, then we’ll know who had entered!”
“Good idea!” Tang Muxin smiled. “As long as things are resolved as soon as possible, I can ask Dad to start research on the artificial limbs. Hopefully, it will have some progress. There are also many handicapped people in this world!”
“Hahahaha!” Hong Dali laughed heartily. “After the research is done, we’ll help to treat Little Meow first! We’ll let the handicapped people fit prosthesis on, all for free! What a good way to squander!”
“This…” Tang Muxin fiercely stomped her foot. “This time, I support you!”
Li Nianwei smiled and nodded by the side. Young Master has this good quality of having a very kind heart. He might appear to be carefree, but he’s thinking about things as well. Fitting prosthesis for the handicapped, this was probably not what people would typically think of.
Many people who did charity was all talk but no action. During the promotion phase, everything was spectacular. But in times of need, there wasn’t any news about them. Nobody was clear about how the donations were spent, and there was no way to investigate it as well.
On the other hand, Young Master directly provided everything free of charge with just a wave of his hand. The disparity was just too huge.
“Uh…” Lin Chuyin, just then, spoke from the side. “Though I don’t want to say it, I’d better just say it—the surveillance device is very simple, but if it were to be put on dogs, the effects would probably be very bad.”
“Aye?!” Hong Dali was instantly stunned. “What’s the situation?”
“It’s due to the way a dog moves.” Lin Chuyin insipidly said, “Its head will tremble together with its body. To put it simply, if a surveillance camera is installed at its bow tie, unless it’s resting or sleeping, the image will be very shaky, and the person’s face will appear very blurry in the video.”
This… seriously?!
Hong Dali touched his chin. “Why don’t we try it out first.”
“OK.” Lin Chuyin stood up and entered the laboratory. Cluttering noises sounded, and the little lass took out a small device almost the size of a thumb. “This is the experimental product that I made previously. You can just use this.” As she spoke, she tied this device to the bow tie on that little white dog and then turned on the computer screen.
Hong Dali: “Xiao Baibai(means ‘small white white’), follow him!” He pointed at male lackey Li Yang. “Start running to try it out!”
Once Li Yang started running, Hong Dali knew that Lin Chuyin’s words were accurate—the image on the computer screen was so shaky…
Moreover, that was a situation where the device was tied very tightly. The key problem was that once Xiao Baibai ran, it trembled as well. Other than the ability to identify from the screen that there was a person in front as well as the color of his clothes, the others were completely unclear.
Xiao Baibai was very hardworking, but the problem was that it couldn’t help about this as well…
“This is difficult…” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Unless it completely stays still and remains in the laboratory… but that’s not very reasonable. What if the person coming to steal information has his face covered, like the big thieves in Wuxia films? That would be even more difficult to see, then.” Speaking of which, though the face would not necessarily be covered up, it was almost certain that the person would change his clothes.
“That won’t do, let’s think of another way…” Hong Dali thought carefully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he laughed heartily. “I’ve got it!”
