Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Karen, what do you think?"

"Is the free food provided by TPC good?" Karen asked after thinking for a moment.

Shen Yun was taken aback by his words, then chuckled slightly and said, "The taste is good, and there's a different one every day."

"Then I'll join!" Karen's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed.

Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?

"Don't be afraid, because I believe you won't lie to me, Shen Jun!" Karen's cute face was adorned with a bright smile.

Looking at Karen's innocent and radiant smile, Shen Yun felt a little complicated.

It's better to be outmaneuvered by him than to be destroyed by Ultraman Tiga.

This can be considered as saving her life.

Moreover, his schemes against Karen were not malicious in any way.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much better.

Shen Yun flicked Karen's forehead with his finger: "Naive! People's hearts are very complicated. Don't easily trust others."

After saying that, Shen Yun reached out and vigorously rubbed Karen's head, saying:

"Also, thank you for trusting me so much."

"Because we're friends. Shouldn't friends trust each other?" Karen said matter-of-factly.

"Friend..." Shen Yun smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk towards the parking lot. "Let's go. When we get back to the base, I'll help you find a new home."

"Can I live with you, Shen Jun?" Karen quickly followed.

"no."

"Huh? Why?"

……

After a drive of more than an hour, Shen Yun brought Karen back to the TPC base.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, he led Karen toward the director's office.

Karen followed closely behind Shen Yun, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked around the interior of TPC.

At this moment, Shinjo and Horii, who had just returned from patrolling in the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, walked out of the boarding gate of the underground hangar with their helmets in their hands. As soon as they came out, they saw Shen Yun and Karen coming out of the underground parking lot downstairs.

Horii was about to say hello, but before he could even speak, Shinjo pulled him into a corner and hid him.

"Hey Shinjo, why are we hiding?" Horii asked, crouching in the corner and looking at Shinjo with a puzzled expression.

"Idiot, didn't you see the cute girl following behind Dr. Shen?" Shinjo looked down at Horii and asked.

"I saw it, what's wrong?" Horii asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious already? When did Dr. Shen start getting so close to women?" Shinjo asked excitedly, feeling as if they had discovered some incredible secret.

"Aren't Director Kashiwamura and the team leader very close to Dr. Shen?" Horii thought carefully. In his memory, he didn't seem to have ever seen Dr. Shen interact with any women other than Director Kashiwamura and the team leader...

"Nonsense, how can work-related communication be the same as private interactions?" Shinjo said irritably.

He found it strange that Horii, such a slowpoke, could find a girlfriend, while a handsome guy like him couldn't.

This is so unfair!

"Private interactions? Oh! I see..." Horii's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Shinjo covered Horii's mouth and quickly made a shushing gesture.

At the same time, Shen Yun and Karen passed by them.

"Shen Jun, why are they hiding?" Karen asked, glancing curiously at the spot where Horii and Shinjo were hiding.

"Because they're both idiots, don't play with them anymore, or you'll become stupid too."

"I understand." Karen nodded, making a mental note of Shen Yun's words.

Do these two guys really think he didn't see them?

He just couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

……

Director's office.

Shen Yun sat opposite Ze Jing, skillfully took out the tea set from the office, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Then, he explained to Sawai about Karen.

Sawai listened quietly, her expression very serious.

Karen was not interested in Shen Yun and Ze Jing's conversation.

Instead, he acted like a child, wandering around the office on his own.

She would touch anything, no matter what it was.

"That's how it happened," Shen Yun said, putting down his teacup and looking at Ze Jing.

"I understand. As long as you can keep her in check, I'll handle the rest," Sawai nodded and said.

For him, neither a TPC employment permit nor a piece of identification was a big deal.

Furthermore, it would be a great achievement to bring an artificial intelligence with self-awareness and thought under the TPC's control.

This is also a great blessing for TPC.

If you end up stranded outside and are used by malicious people to do bad things, that would be a real headache.

The only concern is whether this self-aware artificial intelligence will go out of control.

This was his only concern.

"I'll keep an eye on her," Shen Yun said with a slight smile, glancing at Karen, who was peering out the window at the sea view.

Since he brought Karen out, he naturally has the obligation to discipline her properly.

Although Kallen has her own consciousness and thoughts, and can think like a human.

However, Karen's mind is actually similar to that of a child.

Without guidance, it's easy for them to go astray.

Especially the complex information on the Internet.

If Kallen is allowed to absorb this information, she will probably go astray before long.

Before helping Karen develop a firm and correct set of values, Shen Yun did not intend to let Karen access the Internet.

"I'm relieved to hear that," Sawai said with a smile.

"By the way, Director Sawai, please keep the matter of Karen being an artificial intelligence a secret," Shen Yun said, as if he had just thought of something.

"An artificial intelligence that has developed self-awareness would indeed be too astonishing if word got out, and it should definitely be kept secret." Ze Jing nodded slightly, agreeing with Shen Yun's suggestion.

Karen's unique circumstances dictate that she cannot reveal her identity as an artificial intelligence.

The news that an artificial intelligence with self-awareness and thought was born from an abandoned project is already astonishing enough.

Not to mention, she also has the ability to remotely control computers and enhance her computing power.

This ability alone is enough to attract the attention of some people.

"As for how to keep it a secret..."

"We can publicly state that Karen is a genius with an extremely high IQ, which is why she was exceptionally admitted by TPC. As for her identity information, it can be sealed in a top-secret file," Shen Yun said.

"That's settled then." Sawai nodded, then asked, "What are your plans for Karen?"

"I plan to have her as my assistant."

"An assistant? With Karen's abilities, she can certainly help you." Sawai nodded.

After discussing with Zejing for a while and finalizing the matter of Karen, Shen Yun left the director's office with Karen.

"Shen Jun, am I officially hired now?" Karen asked immediately after coming out of the director's office.

"Yes, from today onwards, you are a member of the TPC Science Bureau." Shen Yun nodded and said with a smile.

"So what is my job?"

"Your job is to be my assistant and help me."

"Shen Jun's assistant? I'll do my best in this job!" Karen said with great enthusiasm.
