After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 128 Lao Deng! You dare to snatch my apprentice from me (asking for monthly tickets)

……

Airport pick-up point.

A subtle awkward atmosphere lingered between the four people.

There was silence for five or six seconds.

Sheng Yixia said with a little embarrassment: "Teacher, are you here to pick up Senior Ayanami Rei as well?"

senior?

Ayanami Rei looked at Sheng Yixia with an extremely complicated look. When you were blasting me online, you kept calling me "Old Ayanami".

In Rei Ayanami's concept, the mechanical instructor should be about the same age as herself, at most five or six years younger, or even ten years younger at most.

After all, knowledge takes time to accumulate, and the knowledge and background demonstrated by the mechanical instructor are simply beyond the reach of young people.

But what does he see now?
This guy is younger than his doctoral student apprentice, even much younger.

What's outrageous is that this guy is a well-known actor, and his looks are only slightly inferior to when he was younger.

Rei Ayanami looked at Sheng Yixia, then looked at the doctoral student she was supervising, and suddenly felt that this doctoral student, who usually pleased her very much, now looked stupid and silly no matter how she looked at him.

And what virtue did Gao Hongbo have to have such an awesome disciple?

Shouldn't such a genius in the AI ​​field be Ling Xudong's direct disciple?

That’s right, his name is Ling Xudong, a global expert in AI. He returned to China six years ago to support national construction and is currently one of the key researchers at the Xia Xichao Research Institute.

at once.

There was something strange in Rei Ayanami's eyes when she looked at Gao Hongbo.

Gao Hongbo also took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Sheng Yixia and then at Ayanami Rei with complicated eyes.

He knew that his beloved disciple had co-authored an AI paper with Rei Ayanami, and now it seemed that their relationship was even closer than he had imagined, and they had even developed an offline dating relationship.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Ling Laodeng took the initiative to apply to come to Xia Dongchao's research institute to participate in the mission. Could it be that he has set his sights on his beloved disciple and is trying to poach him?
The two old men looked at each other, and it seemed as if invisible sparks were crackling.

"Ahem! Teacher, Professor Ling, this is not the place to talk." Sheng Yixia saw the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly said, "How about we get in the car first?"

Gao Hongbo immediately relaxed his brows, nodded and said, "Yixia is right. People from afar are guests. Let's send Professor Ling to the guesthouse first."

This time, Ayanami Rei, also known as Ling Xudong, came to support the project. The Super Research Institute appointed him to contact and entertain her, so he still had to do what he should do.

"Okay then, Xiao Li, you take Professor Gao's car and I'll take the mechanics instructor's car. We still have a few topics to discuss." Rei Ayanami immediately followed suit and then took the lead.

Gao Hongbo frowned and looked at Sheng Yixia.

Sheng Yixia immediately said, "I'll go with Senior Brother Li. We young people will have more topics to talk about."

"Great, great." Xiao Li, who had no idea of ​​the situation, immediately accepted the proposal.

Just kidding, riding in a car with my boss, the atmosphere was so depressing that I couldn't even straighten my back.

Rei Ayanami couldn't help but glared at her stupid apprentice.

How come this guy has no sense at all? Why was I so blind to think that he was a promising talent?

But before he could say anything, Gao Hongbo pulled him away: "Then let's do this, Yixia, you and Senior Brother Li take the luggage together, and we'll go to the guesthouse first. I'll send you the address, and you can navigate there yourself."

Having said that, he dragged Rei Ayanami away without further ado.

Are you kidding me? He can give this guy a chance to be alone with Yixia? From now on, I have to keep a closer eye on this old Ling, lest he secretly steals my girl.

As the two old men walked away, Senior Brother Li breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became lively: "Mechanical Engineering Instructor, your name is Sheng Yixia, right? You look really young. By the way, my name is Li Haibo. I am a first-year doctoral student this year and will be a second-year doctoral student soon."

In fact, he also admired Sheng Yixia very much. At such a young age, he had such profound attainments in AI research. Even his boss valued him very much.

"Hello, Senior Brother Li." Sheng Yixia modestly stretched out both hands to shake his hand. "You can just call me Yixia. I just graduated from my senior year this year and will be a first-year graduate student soon."

"..."

Reading these words immediately deeply hurt Li Haibo's heart.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been a top student. Even his boss thinks he has great potential and a promising future.

But compared with this Sheng Yixia, I feel like I have lived a dog's life for more than twenty years.

He felt a little regretful. He regretted riding in the same car with Sheng Yixia. He would rather bow and nod in front of his tutor.

However, Sheng Yixia was very enthusiastic and helped him drag the suitcase all the way to the parking lot.

Youjiaman had been waiting in the parking lot. When he saw them coming, he immediately came over and helped with the luggage.

"Yixia, is this your girlfriend?" Li Haibo asked in a low voice curiously.

This urban woman who looks like she is dressed for a professional role is actually quite pretty, with a mature and queen-like vibe.

You Jiaman heard it, turned around and smiled faintly: "I am Mr. Sheng's assistant. I am not lucky enough to be Mr. Sheng's girlfriend. If he wants to recruit a girlfriend, I guess the applicants will have to line up from this airport to the bulk province."

Damn it.

Li Haibo felt that he shouldn't say too much.

After the luggage was put in the trunk, You Jiaman drove the car in the front, while Sheng Yixia and Li Haibo sat in the comfortable massage seats in the back.

Li Haibo looked left and right, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yixia, did you buy this car yourself? Is it really that profitable to be an actor now?"

"No." Sheng Yixia said.

Li Haibo just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Sheng Yixia add, "This car belongs to my dad."

Damn it!

Li Haibo suffered another fatal blow.

Being able to make money is certainly enviable, but being a second-generation rich person is naturally more enviable.

Damn it, damn it~ wuwuwu~~
"Brother Li, why are your eyes red? And a little wet?"

"Ah, it's okay... I was blinded by the sandstorm just now~~"

The vehicle drove smoothly all the way to the guesthouse, but Li Haibo's heart was constantly shaking.

****
Same time period.

The bar looks a bit old, but it still has the lingering flavor of the foreign concessions of the past.

There was a sign hanging at the door saying "Closed".

Sitting in the corner of the bar, there was a graceful and mature woman.

She wore a red wide-brimmed soft hat and a beautiful summer dress, revealing patches of snow-white skin.

She sat cross-legged on a high chair, sucking on a soft straw with her scarlet lips, the chilled red wine sliding into her mouth, her posture indescribably lazy and comfortable.

opposite.

There stood a middle-aged man dressed as a bartender, with a neatly-growthed beard and a slightly weathered yet mature face, which made him look very attractive.

He is none other than the very popular bar owner, John Liu.

But John Liu, who was loved by many petty bourgeoisie ladies, although sitting opposite the woman in the red hat, his body was very tense, as if every muscle in his body was ready to explode at any time.

His expression was extremely serious, his face was even a little pale, and a complex look of fear flashed across his eyes from time to time.

The woman in the red hat didn't even look at him, she just sipped on her straw.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to be undercurrent.

After a while.

The red-hatted woman put down the empty glass gracefully, licked the wine from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and said softly, "The scarlet beauty prepared by the instructor is as mellow as ever. It reminds me of that wonderful night in the training camp."

Chu Zhengming, no, or rather John Liu, his pupils slightly tightened, and then his voice sounded somewhat calm: "If you are here to reminisce about the past, then you can leave and don't hinder me from carrying out my mission."

"A mission? Ha~" The red-hatted woman sneered, "I thought you had fallen in love with the life of a playboy, mixing drinks and hanging out with girls, and had long forgotten about the mission."

John Liu's pupils shrank slightly, and he said calmly, "How dare I forget the task personally assigned by the Bishop? I..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

There was a "swish" sound. Without the red-hatted woman making any movement, a slightly curved scarlet dagger suddenly floated above his neck as if it had broken through space.

The sharp blade pierced the skin on his neck, and trickles of blood slid onto the blade, but instantly disappeared into the dagger, as if the blood was swallowed by the dagger.

"How dare you mention the Bishop again?" The red-hatted woman still crossed her legs, but her soft voice revealed an indescribable danger. "Do you know how disappointed he is with your recent failed operations in H City? Tell me, have you betrayed the Lord?"

John Liu did not dare to move. He was as stiff as a wooden chicken, and sweat oozed from his forehead. However, he still tried to control himself and said in a deep voice: "I know that any of my excuses are weak, but I have found the key clue and will succeed soon. I will use my actual results to prove my devotion to the Lord to the Bishop."

"Ten days. Your Excellency the Bishop must see your so-called practical results within ten days." The red-hatted woman said indifferently.

"Time is too tight. I need at least another month." John Liu said hurriedly.

"Haha~"

The red-hatted woman sneered: "Do you think I'm here to bargain with you?"

"I will stay here and keep an eye on you. If you don't see any results within ten days, you will return to my Lord's Twilight Court ahead of schedule, Master Instructor."

John Liu swallowed hard and nodded slowly: "Okay, but I need your help."

****
Xia Dongchao Research Institute.

The Super Research Institute covers a very large area. On the surface it looks like an ordinary industrial park, but there is something else going on inside.

Many of the most cutting-edge technologies in the extraordinary world were born in this place.

In addition to the experimental buildings, there are also some specially designated experimental sites, as well as a variety of living and entertainment facilities around them. It is basically a small society.

The group entered the park and walked along the road inside the park. They soon arrived at the guesthouse in the park.

After completing the check-in procedures at the guesthouse and storing most of the luggage, Ayanami Rei couldn't wait to drag a large suitcase and go to the experimental building of Xiadong Chao Research Institute with Gao Hongbo and his group.

The two apprentices, Sheng Yixia and Li Haibo, were also called over by their instructor.

After completing the temporary employment procedures, Ayanami Rei arrived at the office assigned to him and couldn't wait to show the results to Sheng Yixia and Gao Hongbo and said, "Mechanical instructor, Lao Gao, let me show you my treasure."

As he said this, he opened the huge suitcase.

Inside the suitcase was a female corpse, or rather, a lifelike doll. She was curled up in the suitcase in a twisted and weird posture, with her face facing upwards. As the suitcase was opened, her head turned slightly, blinking her big watery eyes and looking at them, and she spoke in a pleasant female voice: "Dad, have we arrived in H City?"

This strange situation made Sheng Yixia feel a little creepy.

Damn, they say scientists tend to be perverted, but it's rare to see someone as perverted as Rei Ayanami. Also, how did Rei Ayanami's suitcase get through security? Didn't the airport secret service catch him?
"Baby, we're here. Come, daddy will take you to meet Dr. Wu." Rei Ayanami said as she moved the android out of the suitcase and helped her straighten out its twisted joints. Her eyes were full of pity as she looked at the android.

It looked like a father tidying up clothes for his daughter who was about to go out.

Wait, why does it look and sound so perverted?
Gao Hongbo was also somewhat surprised at the scene. Then he looked at his beloved disciple, and then at Ling Laodeng who had a doting face, and suddenly he felt unwell.

No, Sheng Yixia must stay away from this pervert, to avoid being led astray by him.

However, Sheng Yixia was interested. She went up to take a closer look at the simulacrum and started a conversation with her: "I heard old Ayanami talk about you. You are Ayanami Rei, right?"

"Yes, hello, young version of Dr. Wu, you are more handsome than in the movie." With the help of old Ayanami, Rei turned her head back to the right position, blinked her watery eyes and said to Sheng Yixia.

Haha, this little mouth is quite good at flattering people.

Sheng Yixia walked around her and asked curiously, "Are you still using lithium batteries? How long can it last at full power? Can it charge itself? Where is the charging port..."

"You filthy little rascal, where are you looking at? Stay away from my daughter~~" Ling Xudong got angry when he saw that the android Rei Ayanami was actually preparing to show the location of the charging port obediently.

Sheng Yixia took two steps back with a look of regret. He had just wanted to try the feel of the simulator's skin. The skin seemed to be very realistic, with hair implanted on the eyelashes and eyebrows.

It seems that old Lingtou has spent a lot of effort on this bionic man.

Seeing him like this, Gao Hongbo next to him looked at his apprentice and then at Ling Xudong. He felt that these two people were a little abnormal, which made him feel a little out of tune with them.

I couldn't help but start thinking about a question. I haven't been elected as an academician yet. Is it because I'm not abnormal enough?

but.

Ling Xudong then demonstrated the functions of the humanoid and ordered, "My dear daughter, make two cups of coffee for me and Dr. Wu."

Then Ayanami Rei really started searching the office. After searching for a while, she didn't find any coffee, but she actually went out of the office and borrowed two packs of instant coffee from someone else. Then she made two cups of coffee, stirred it evenly with a spoon, and gave one cup to Sheng Yixia, saying, "Dr. Wu, please have some coffee."

Kind of interesting~

Sheng Yixia's eyes were full of admiration. Just the series of actions and ideas for solving the problem were enough to show the top level of old Lingtou. No wonder he brought it here to show off his treasure.

"Old Ling, what do you think of your daughter's military skills? Can she shoot a gun?" Sheng Yixia asked while drinking coffee.

Ling Xudong's expression froze, and he glared at Sheng Yixia unhappily: "I don't plan to let my baby go to the army. The price of making this simulation is too expensive now, and the battery capacity is a big problem."

Sheng Yixia nodded in agreement and said, "At present, the drone combat group is the most cost-effective. How is our cooperative project going? Have you worked on it these two days?"

"Almost, but your operating glasses require mental power to control, and I can't find a suitable helper at the moment." Ling Xudong answered habitually.

"Spiritual power..." A person appeared in Sheng Yixia's mind, and he nodded and said, "I know someone with strong mental power. I'll ask him to come over and cooperate with us in further research and development."

Apart from some slight discomfort when they first met, the two quickly returned to their attitude and rhythm of online communication.

This made Gao Hongbo frightened again. Has his beloved disciple and Ling Xudong become so familiar with each other?

Wait…project?
What project?
Why don’t I, as a mentor, understand anything about this?
This made Gao Hongbo feel like his wife was out dancing in the square, flirting with some flashy old man, and whispering something he couldn't understand.

"Yixia, there is a big project in our institute recently. Would you like to participate in it with me?" Gao Hongbo said with a smile, as if he was trying hard to save something.

"Lao Gao, look at what you said, are you still planning to not include Yixia in your institute's projects?" Ling Xudong said with a smile, "In fact, the project that Yixia and I are working on together also overlaps with some of the big projects."

Obviously, he knew very well what the big project Gao Hongbo was talking about was.

Gao Hongbo's face turned black, but he didn't care about being reserved anymore and said quickly: "Yixia, you are not going to take me with you on your project now? No, I am your mentor and I have to keep an eye on you. I am part of your project."

Uh……

The main reason why Sheng Yixia didn't call him Lao Deng was because after Lao Deng joined the project team, he would be restricted and unable to communicate freely. If he didn't communicate about some things, it wouldn't work. But if he did communicate, it would seem disrespectful to his teacher.

But now that it has come to this.

Sheng Yixia had no choice but to look at Ling Xudong and ask, "Old Ling, how about adding my teacher?"

"I have no objection, but everyone's merits should still be calculated according to their respective contributions." Ling Xudong said, "We can't treat him specially just because he is your mentor."

This made Gao Hongbo's mouth twitch again. He was really afraid that he would not be able to resist and challenge Ling Xudong to a real-life PK.

Subsequently.

Sheng Yixia sent a message to Sister Fei, saying that she wanted to invite Huanhu to come over and cooperate with a research project.

Faced with Sheng Yixia's request, Sister Fei naturally agreed very readily, and added a sentence: If he dares not to cooperate actively, you report him to me and see how I deal with him.

then.

While the Phantom Fox was still on the way, Sheng Yixia and his team began the preparations for the experiment, and Gao Hongbo naturally got involved.

after an hour.

Huanhu rushed to the Huayan Institute in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, he was a little scared, and he nodded and bowed everywhere: "Hello, Professor Gao, hello, hello, Brother Sheng, you are here too."

As he said this, he glanced at Ling Xudong and his apprentice again, and nodded with a smile on his face: "Hello, two big brothers."

Huanhu's heart was naturally beating fast.

He received an order from Sister Fei to come and cooperate with the project research in the laboratory of the Super Research Institute.

Of course, he resisted this order from the bottom of his heart, and kept hesitating and evading it. Are you kidding me? Those researchers in the laboratory are all perverts. The way they look at him is so creepy. What if he is dissected?
But the problem is that he borrowed points and bronze medals from someone when he bought equipment last time, and the creditor was Sister Fei.

Sister Fei told him that he should either pay back the points immediately or cooperate with the experiment. After completing the task, the points and bronze medals he owed could be written off.

To pay off debt.

Phantom Fox decided to grit his teeth.

Going into the sea.

That's 180 points and a bronze medal.

Gao Hongbo was in a bad mood today. When he saw him coming over to say hello, he was in no mood to greet him. He just glanced at Huanhu with an indifferent expression and said, "Take him to take a bath and change his clothes first."

what?
Huanhu's heart trembled, his nose felt sore, and tears were about to fall.

Is he, the great Phantom Fox, finally going to that point because of his debt?
