Chapter 788: Presidential Think Tank
I received a call from Ai ShuQiao before noon.
At the ti, I was on the second floor of the VIP building, spectating Winnie, Ren Peng, and the others practice. I was suddenly called down by Dr. Yu and handed a black cell phone while he told Ai ShuQiao wanted to speak to .
“Don’t panic, it might be sothing good.” Dr. Yu urged.
I was much calr now than before I developed my heart problems. Also, I was pretty curious on why Ai ShuQiao contacted when she already lost all interest in .
After I was poisoned by the butterfly and my life was in a precarious state, Ai ShuQiao treated like I was trash in the negotiation with Ren HongDe and planned to give away with Ai Mi.
If she voluntarily contacted now, it ant she had a renewed interest in , and that I had so ‘value’ in her eyes.
I once talked to Ai ShuQiao on the rooftop of the VIP building, but now there were team mbers occupying the VIP building, so it was difficult to guarantee that I would not be disturbed. Dr. Yu suggested that I go to the basent to take the call, which was being prepared as his exclusive laboratory and was extrely soundproof.
As I walked into the basent, which I had visited once before, I discovered the place underwent major changes.
The originally empty and vast space was divided into three to five areas. There appeared to be both biological and chanical labs, but it was only in its early developnt stage and wasn’t complete.
Most of the walls were covered with white tiles, which made it feel clean like being in a hospital or sterilization room.
However, the steel animal cages still haven’t been moved. Over twenty steel cages of varying sizes were scattered across the tiles which was quite frightening and made you think of Japan’s Unit 731.
It looks like Dr. Yu was dead set on performing human modification experints! Did he keep the cages because he plans to start with animals? Since Ai Mi won’t allow him to experint on cats or dogs, then he might use even larger animals. Maybe black bears?
Make sure you aren’t seen by any animal protection groups or there will be unforeseen consequences. In the worst case, my sister might get caught in the crossfire.
The basent, which was only partially renovated, didn’t have any experintal equipnt for the ti being. It didn’t even have a desk, only a single office chair. I sat down on the chair and used the phone Dr. Yu gave to start the call with Ai ShuQiao.
“Is your body okay?”
I couldn’t believe Ai ShuQiao would start with a greeting as if she was actually concerned.
“What do you want?”
As expected, I beca more calm and mature after going through a life-and-death experience.
Ai ShuQiao laughed. Due to the ti difference, she seed to be lying on bed and was preparing to rest after a tiring day of work.
“Can’t I call my own son?”
“That’s not a funny joke.”
Ai ShuQiao beca serious, “That’s right, I never joke around. I want to make a deal that’s a win-win situation for the both of us.”
“Tell about it.”
“I want you to help infiltrate the Happy Science Cult and obtain their ‘Karma Calculator’ formula.”
“Wait!” I couldn’t suppress my surprise, “The Happy Science Cult doesn’t even have a ‘Karma Calculator’? I thought they scamd people by stealing personal information through a backdoor in their phone!”
Ai ShuQiao should also know the information that Dr. Yu knew. Dr. Yu said he would not do anything that would harm the interests of his employer unless it conflicted with his own beliefs.
“Oh, it seems that you only have a partial understanding of Fang Xin and the others…”
“As you already know, Fang Xin is frequently locked up in a psychiatric hospital due to his intermittent outbreaks of insanity. He also thinks the psychiatric hospital is a great place to think, so he doesn’t leave most of the ti. The majority of the Happy Science Cult affairs are handled by his father, Professor Bai.”
“Using a backdoor of a phone to gather personal information sounds impressive, but there’s a lot of useless information. If you search through it manually, I’m afraid you won’t even find a single piece of valuable information within a year.”
“That’s why Professor Bai uses a information screening program made by Fang Xin to find valuable intelligence, and that’s how they found out about you and .”
“Have you ever wondered why even though not everyone in the Happy Science Cult uses a knock-off phone, but they still get fooled by the results of the Karma Calculator, do you think they are all stupid?”
“The truth: The Karma Calculator does exist, but the data isn’t calculated when Professor Bai asks you for you na, age, hobbies, and a psychological test. They actually search through a large amount of information beforehand.”
“Perhaps you’ve heard of the Six degrees of separation theory which is the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other. The Happy Science Cult also utilized this theory and they used the relationship between people to indirectly obtain the personal information of those mbers who don’t have knock-off phones.”
My doubts were finally cleared: that must have been how Gong CaiCai’s information was entered into their database. She might not have a phone backdoor they can access, but I was spied on as her classmate, and Mr. Hu was spied on as her cram school teacher. Professor Bai was able to get his hands on a lot of personal information, so it was fairly easy for him to dupe Gong CaiCai.
“The Karma Calculator makes extensive use of the chaos theory in mathematics and contains an information filtering component which is incredibly efficient at sorting through information. To a certain extent, it can really ‘predict’ the future as long as there is enough data.”
“What do you need it for?” I couldn’t help but interrupt Ai ShuQiao.
“Because I’m interested.” Ai ShuQiao replied, then she explained to :
“The half-crazy Fang Xin is extrely confident of his Karma Calculator, and his father, Professor Bai, is the sa. According to the information they initially gathered, they thought that being friendly to and giving you to as a pawn after brainwashing you would be the best choice.”
“However, I wouldn’t trust a guy who thinks of himself as a god every ti he becos insane. I turned a blind eye to what they’re doing, but if you were brainwashed by them, it just ant you weren’t strong-willed enough. I didn’t think they would succeed and that proved to be the case.”
“But just in case, I planted a spy in Happy Science Cult, who reported to that Professor Bai, after performing a recent calculation, found that the results of a previous calculation had changed. Him and Fang Xin actually believed: in the struggle between you and , you would be the victor…”
“That’s why Fang Xin reappeared in front of you and wanted to form an alliance with you to deal with to maximize their benefits——but he obviously failed, because Dr. Yu inadvertently discovered the backdoor to your phone and he can no longer impersonate as a god in front of you.”
“Wait,” I said, “Are you saying that Fang Xin’s program really exists? Also, after they inputted more information, it ca to the conclusion that I would defeat you?”
Ai ShuQiao’s voice suddenly beca as cold as ice.
“Don’t be too complacent, it’s just an imperfect program and the information it can gather is very limited…”
“Is that so?” I said mockingly, “If it was just a worthless piece of crap program, you would never want it.”
“Don’t talk back to your mother.”
“Hey! Now you’re trying to act like a parent! What have you been doing earlier?”
“Stop arguing pointlessly. Anyway, I’m very interested in Fang Xin’s program. If used wisely, it can be as good as a presidential think tank. It’s a waste to use it to start a cult to cheat people out of their money…”
“So you plan to let … pretend I haven’t recognized Fang Xin’s scam, join the Happy Science Cult as a believer, and then find the opportunity to steal the program?”
“Good, you understand quickly, as expected of my son.”
I didn’t bother arguing about our mother-son relationship anymore since there was no need to waste more ti on Ai ShuQiao.
“What about the pay?” I asked in a businesslike manner, “You said earlier that this was a ‘win-win’ deal, so you will get your hands on the calculation program, but what do I get?”
“Ai Mi’s freedom.” Ai ShuQiao replied concisely.
Seeing remain silent for a while, Ai ShuQiao continued:
“As long as you succeed in getting the calculation program, I will let Ai Mi quit the entertainnt industry. Also, I won’t stop her if she wants to live with you, and I will pay monthly child support to the two of you, how does that sound?”
“Don’t try to trick !” I got agitated, “Just like your negotiations with Ren HongDe, you will drag your feet and say to first let Ai Mi finish the drama and comrcials currently booked before ‘gradually’ quitting the entertainnt industry! Don’t treat like an idiot!”
“Calm down, I’ve never treated you like an idiot, that would be disrespectful to myself genetically speaking. There’s an 80% chance my deal with Ren HongDe can’t proceed. This old geezer actually arranged a lot of traps for , I really underestimated him… but my deal with you is very promising. If you don’t have the patience to wait and want Ai Mi to quit the entertainnt industry imdiately, I can have that arranged.”
“As long as you do one more thing for .”
“What is it?” An ominous feeling rose in my heart, “Who do you want to kill?”
“I won’t make my son do sothing as tasteless as killing soone with his own hands. My second request for you is simple: just cooperate with Dr. Yu in your routine dical examinations and then let him draw so blood each ti…”
Isn’t that completely indistinguishable from what I’ve been doing on a daily basis for weeks? Why did it suddenly beco sothing that had trade value where it was even equal to what Ai Mi was worth in the entertainnt industry?
Ai ShuQiao instructed with a joy that welled up from the depths of her soul:
“In addition to routine dical examinations and blood donations, I will also strictly forbid you to drink alcohol. Rember that drinking damages your body…”
“Ai ShuQiao!” I suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in the empty basent, “What use do you have for my blood? What use do you have for my blood that contains the toxin of the blue morpho butterfly? What exactly did you intend to do with the butterfly when you offered a reward of half a million dollars for its capture?”
