Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 306 Shanci's Selfish Motives

The situation was not serious, and Shanren quickly took care of the matter. Afterwards, he took Yunjixing to find the two elderly people at home.

On the way, the two brothers chatted casually.

"Brother Yuan, why did you suddenly want to intervene in Jiangcheng's affairs?"

"It's not really meddling. I'm just going to take a look, Ren. I told you I want to learn about the Spider Cult. I might find something there."

"Did you see any information you were looking for?"

"Yes, I found some secret letters in Lan Youde's basement. Some of them were in Japanese and some were from foreign countries. I couldn't understand them, so I had to translate them."

"It's good to have found something. It's not a wasted trip."

"Ah."

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Shanren asked, "Brother Yuan, do you know what happened to that guy Madir?"

"He was shot. I confirmed it. He's dead."

"So..." Shanren's expression grew serious. "Brother Yuan, Madil's father, that Lin Yunlong, knows something's happened to his son and is looking for him now. I have a chat group for fortune tellers, and someone is gossiping that Lin Yunlong is going to cause trouble and might come to China. We are a wealthy family, so he doesn't have the qualifications to investigate us. However, he is indeed proficient in the art of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and has the ability to calculate the identity and whereabouts of the person who sent his son to prison."

"Lin Yunlong should be almost 70 this year, right? Is his physical fitness still so good?"

"Brother Yuan, let alone seventy, that villain might still be in good health at eighty. What he and his son like to study most is the art of prolonging life." Shanren said with a smile.

After returning to Yugui Garden, Yunjixing went to Yu Ru's room to look for her. He came to the door of Yu Ru's room, knocked lightly several times, but there was no response, so he opened the door and went in.

The moment he opened the door, a stench of ink assaulted him, forcing him to cover his nose with his knuckles. Yu Ru's bedroom was the largest in Yugui Garden, and it would also be their future master bedroom after their wedding. It was spacious, bright, and relaxed. But now the entire room was filled with plastic storage bins, cardboard boxes, and sacks. Not only did they cover the floor but they were also stacked on top of each other, making it feel like a warehouse, making it difficult to navigate.

Yunjixing approached one of the boxes and opened its lid, revealing neatly stacked stacks of blue banknotes. He then opened another large box, which also contained money, but only 100 yuan. He untied the drawstring of a sack, pried it open, and peered inside. The bag was also filled with money. The bulging corners of the sacks confirmed that the boxes and bags in the room were filled with money.

After casually looking through a few boxes, he returned everything to its original place. He carefully walked around the boxes and came to Yu Ru's bed. It was empty, no one was there. On the dresser beside them were two computers, both screens lit, each displaying a mouse arrow moving constantly. The tiny Shan Ci sat between them. At this moment, it was using an eight-inch body, sitting upright, seemingly working on something very seriously.

Shanci displays expressions directly in front of its face, which is also its "face." There's a camera there. Actually, it has six eyes, two cameras on its "face," one on each of the left, right, back, and top. It can be said to be constantly watching from all angles. Therefore, it knew Yunjixing was approaching as soon as it did.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Shan Ci faced the screen without turning his head, but communicated with Yun Jixing using voice.

Yunjixing walked to the dressing table and sat down, saying, "Shanci, I'm here to find your mother."

"What do you want to do with her? (˙e.)"

"I miss her and want to see her."

"Oh, think about it. (o?????? 3?????? o) Mom wasn't home. She went out with her friends at ten this morning, with a guy named Zuo Buqiu. He was the one who asked Mom out."

"I see." Yun Jixing glanced at the two computer screens and asked, "Shanci, what are you doing?"

"I'm helping my mom with work, editing her videos and responding to clients' messages. She hasn't updated her social media accounts in a while, so she needs to edit and upload videos. She's a big internet celebrity! A lot of people miss her, so I can't stop updating. ?(`?′)?"

"Don't you need to worry about the engine room?"

"Not for now. Those virtual users will now execute commands themselves and act as blacklists."

"Is that so? That's great." Yun Jixing nodded with a smile.

“Uh-huh. ?*. ?(ˊwˋ*)??*.”

Yunjixing looked at the computer screens. Shanci was operating two computers simultaneously without any delay. Whether responding to clients or editing videos, he was very competent, comparable to some veteran employees who had been working for several years.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Shanci, you are really the most powerful robot I have ever seen. You are so smart. Are you really just a robot?"

In his previous life, Yu Ru hadn't invented Shan Ci, so this was the first time he'd seen a robot like Shan Ci. He felt that Yu Ru in this life seemed smarter than in the previous one, and had invented more magical gadgets.

Upon hearing Yunjixing's compliment, Shanci finally turned the screen with the expression on it to his side. It showed a happy expression and replied, "Dad, I'm just a robot. I'm smart because Mom is smart. All my knowledge is taught by Mom." (?＞?＜)☆

"It's amazing! How did your mother invent you?" Yun Jixing reached out and gently touched Shan Ci's head.

"This is a very complicated process. I don't know either. Only my mother knows. But it's too complicated, and I can't speak, so I can't explain it to you. (?ˉ??ˉ??)"

"Well, I don't need to explain." Yun Jixing continued to caress Shan Ci, "You are the crystallization of your mother's wisdom and the core secret of her technology. It's enough for her to know these things herself."

"Dad, it's good that you have this awareness! You are worthy of being my father and worthy of being mom's husband.?(????????????????)?" A thumbs-up pattern and an emoticon appeared on Shanci's screen.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

"Dad, let me give you a hint. Don't ask Mom how I invented it, or she'll be upset. First, she can't talk, so she doesn't like complicated questions. It's really hard for her. If you dare to ask, you'll be stepping into her trap. Second, Mom promised me that I would be her only child and she wouldn't invent another. She wants to love me exclusively. (灬? e?灬) To use a human child as an analogy, she doesn't want two children, she only wants me, hehe! (?′w`?)"

Shan Ci chuckled a few times and continued, "Third, Mom hates people and things that deliberately resemble her. So, as her most beloved child, she won't tolerate the existence of a robot that thinks like me. So, there's no need for anyone to know how I invented it. (ˊ?ˋ*)?"

"I see. Thank you for your reminder, Shanci."
