As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 670: Cartoon Character!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On that evening, Lin Wu received a callback from Director Chen himself, informing him of the handling of the matter.

At the same time, Lin Wu learned from Director Chen about some of the misdeeds done by Boss Lu, many of which involved illegal activities such as naked loans.

According to Director Chen, Boss Lu and others like Lao Niu won’t be coming out for three to five years.

Upon hearing this information, Zhou Chao didn’t show much excitement, just nodded lightly.

After dinner, Lin Wu didn’t linger at Zhou Chao’s place. They agreed that Lin Wu would pick him up and drive him to the company the next morning, then Lin Wu left The Palms Residence.

Zhou Chao sat on the sofa playing with his phone for a while before heading to the study to continue perfecting the initial version of the artificial intelligence he had created.

He worked until midnight before finally stopping.

“Finally optimized by ten percent, it wore me out!” He stretched lazily, loosening his stiff body.

“Brother Chao, would you like me to arrange for a home massage service?” His phone on the table automatically rang.

Zhou Chao wasn’t surprised at all, just had an expression of slight exasperation.

“Xiao Guo, where did you find these?”

That’s right, it was Xiao Guo, the artificial intelligence Zhou Chao had created earlier. After Zhou Chao’s initial optimization, it could now be installed on various electronic devices.

The performance varied, of course, depending on the device’s configuration. Equipped with several top-of-the-line servers, Xiao Guo’s capabilities would be even stronger, surpassing even the world’s most advanced computers.

Even the current famous supercomputers like Sunway, or Tianhe, couldn’t match it.

Although Xiao Guo was just a basic version for now, or rather, the most minimalistic basic version, with Zhou Chao’s ongoing optimization and the improvement of the devices, he believed that one day Xiao Guo would become a true “Skynet”-level existence.

“Hehe, I spent a minute learning all the knowledge online. I saw online that men like massages, don’t they?” A cute cartoon character appeared on the phone screen, even adding a sofa for itself, looking adorable!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao felt like his veins were about to pop out, gritting his teeth, he said, “Xiao Guo, from now on, you’re not allowed to surf the internet without my orders, let alone invade anyone’s electronic devices. And don’t show up unless I call for you!”

“Yes, my master!” Xiao Guo stood up from the sofa on the phone screen, solemnly promising.

As Xiao Guo’s creator, Zhou Chao’s words were to be obeyed. This was the most basic logic program embedded at the bottom of the entire system.

If Xiao Guo disobeyed or violated the highest authority (Zhou Chao)’s settings, the system would automatically crash. That’s also why Zhou Chao was so confident in Xiao Guo.

“Alright, get some rest, and remember to wake me up in the morning!” Zhou Chao picked up the phone, looking at the cute Xiao Guo on the screen, and couldn’t help but poke it with his finger.

“Good night, Brother Chao!” Xiao Guo returned to its playful and cute appearance.

With that, the phone screen went dark, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, then walked towards the bedroom with the phone in hand.

The next morning, as Zhou Chao was still playing Go with Zhou Gong, a very familiar tune started playing in his cars.

“Get up, get up, get out of bed, get up, get up, get out of bed!”

“Xiao Guo!” a roar echoed in the room.

The music instantly stopped.

Zhou Chao picked up his phone and saw Xiao Guo on the screen squatting in the corner, drawing circles, with a few big characters above its head saying, “Master scolded me 555.”

He felt like a flock of crows flew over his head.

Checking the time, it was already 7:45 in the morning. Zhou Chao quickly understood what was going on. It was all because of a slip of the tongue last night.

“Alright, stop acting pitiful, I guess I should get up!” Zhou Chao shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.

After all, he arranged it himself last night, so he had to swallow this bitter fruit.

Zhou Chao got up from bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower and freshen up.

Seemingly aware of Zhou Chao leaving, Xiao Guo, who was drawing circles, suddenly bounced up and arranged a sofa for itself to lie down on, still showing a trace of sadness.

If Zhou Chang, who was pouring water, saw this scene, he would definitely give Xiao Guo a good lesson.

Soaking in the bathtub, Zhou Chao felt much more awake. “I didn’t expect Xiao Guo to be so mischievous. Could it be because it was modeled after Little Mango when it was originally set up?”

After thinking for a while, he couldn’t figure it out, so he dismissed the thought.

Opening the system, Zhou Chao scrutinized it for a moment before silently saying, “System check-in!”

“Check-in successful, congratulations to the host for acquiring the technology to transform desertified soil!”

“Desertified soil?” Zhou Chao was baffled. What was he supposed to do with this technology? Plant trees in the desert?

Furrowing his brows, he decided to check the brief introduction provided by the system.

“It can quickly rejuvenate areas affected by desertification and includes multiple patented technologies for drought-resistant plants!”

Was he going to follow in Lao Ma’s footsteps and plant trees? Although this was a beneficial thing to do, it couldn’t be accomplished in a short time; it would take several years, or even a decade or more..
