Morgan placed a large meatball into Chu Yinan's bowl. "Little Chu Yinan should have seen him. He returned to the manor quite late last night because of the banquet. Did Little Chu Yinan see that guy get up?"
Chu Yinan was still fretting about not having enough lemon juice to drizzle on the meatballs when he was suddenly called on. He could only give a vague answer:
“I did see a tall young man when I was taking a walk in the yard yesterday, but I don’t know if he was up or not.”
"A young lad? The Lefie family doesn't have many young boys, right? Which one?" Yan Liu became even more curious and nudged the little guy's foot under the table, telling him not to just focus on eating.
"I don't know! We're not close. He came up to me and greeted me, but I felt he wasn't good enough for me, so I ignored him."
Chu Yinan didn't even dare to use the name "Yan Yinan" that he used back then to fool people anymore, because it would definitely cause trouble if he did.
"But even though he is unworthy, his looks are comparable to mine at my peak. It's really a case of meeting a formidable opponent."
Yan Liu knew her child well enough to ask suspiciously, "Aren't you face-blind? How come you can recognize them now? Who have you been copying too much lately? Why do you like to brag so much?"
I was just telling the truth, so how did I become a braggart?
But think about it carefully, who around him has ever boasted?
It seems like only Delia and Marisa are capable; those two have boasted to him before. Marisa isn't very skilled; although she's improved compared to before, she still needs more practice. That insolent maid is more troublesome; after all, she's a ruthless person who can untie knots with her tongue. Even though she has no experience, her basic rope-untying skills alone are enough to give Chu Yinan a run for his money.
Thinking about it, Chu Yinan realized that she needed to get some rest when she got back, as she was really exhausted from the past few days on Glory Island.
He ate in silence until after 10 p.m., until he got sleepy and was held by his Aunt Morgan next to him for a while.
When Chu Yinan woke up, she found that she had already returned home.
He sat up from the sofa, stared blankly for a while, then lay back down and yelled "Machine, come here!" at the smart home system. A doll maid respectfully brought him his phone over on a tray.
Chu Yinan opened the AI service personal terminal and initiated a harassing conversation with Valentina.
[Chu Yinan: Valentina, I want to ask you something about Heinrich. Is this considered classified?]
It is truly rare for Heinrich, a genuine human being, to be recognized by AIs, but this recognition does bring real protection from the AIs.
[Valentina: It's not a secret to you. I can even tell you her measurements if you want to know.]
What would I need the female father's measurements for? It's not like I haven't licked her big pecs before!
[Chu Yinan: I went to Glory Island, and it seems Heinrich has a really high reputation there. I heard she's infamous among the nobility, but she gets tons of good morning greetings every day. Does she have some impressive achievements or a resume?]
[Valentina: You ruined the Isaacs' business alliance. That's a long way off for you.]
Chapter 152 Are they all gone?
[Chu Yinan: What exactly are the Isaacs?]
[Valentina: Life within the artificial island system is relatively rare. To put it simply, it's a racial group with a long religious history who controls the top tier of the business world outside the island. You can probably understand it as a large group of wealthy merchants who have made the economy outside the island a mess.]
When people from different regions try to understand other parts of the world, misunderstandings often arise due to the embellishment of information disseminators.
Chu Yinan didn't know the true state of the world outside the island that he knew, but he felt it was quite magical.
Some world-class universities regularly offer indentured slave positions to poor but talented students. These students are fully funded by philanthropic entrepreneurs, but the price is that these graduates must work for them unpaid and unconditionally for forty years, and then be responsible for their own retirement.
Then there are some very unbelievable compensation claims. For example, if an employee dies suddenly during normal overtime hours, causing damage to the entrepreneur's means of production, the employee's family is required to provide humanitarian compensation to the entrepreneur.
Chu Yinan always thought that this kind of information was fake news and could be treated as a joke.
[Chu Yinan: That female father is too fierce! He single-handedly took down a whole group of people?]
[Valentina: Actually, it's not that simple. These are all events spanning a long period of time. The Isaac's League was in its mediocre phase, and with the addition of natural and man-made disasters outside, it collapsed without warning.]
[Chu Yinan: Okay, that's definitely something far removed from my life. So, how's the matchmaking system doing these days?]
[Valentina: She's quite noisy, do you want to listen to her?]
As soon as the message was sent, Chu Yinan received a voice call invitation from Valentina.
Although he's a curious child, he's not stupid. It's best not to be curious at times like this; your eardrums are more important.
[Chu Yinan: No need, I just wanted to check on one of my blind date's 'good girl' dates. She seems a bit strange. Can you analyze what might be going on?]
He recounted in detail the strange phone call he had with Jiang Xuanya, as well as the various circumstances surrounding the inexplicable "first meeting" mission that followed.
Valentina analyzed the strange situation he encountered and gave a reply after a long time.
[Valentina: According to our logic, bugs that don't affect the normal operation of the program are not prioritized for handling, unless they pose a significant threat. My solution is to first contact the remaining matching targets, and then deal with this 'good girl' you mentioned.]
Chu Yinan understood the AI sisters' logic because he had learned a little bit of programming when he was a child. Although it had been a long time and he had forgotten most of what he had learned, he still remembered some of the situations he encountered while learning.
He wrote a slightly more complex program himself, and he felt that something was wrong with it, but the program was working normally inexplicably. When he tried to fix some errors, he found that the program stopped working.
"Yeah, we should get in touch with them. Are all these people just social butterflies? Why can't they be more proactive in the chat? Sigh!"
Chu Yinan counted on his fingers, calculating the current situation.
The Godzilla that was imprisoned... Fissla, Marisa, Aunt Liu, the noble lady from the Lister family, and that beautiful anchorwoman Mo Yushu.
If you include the sisters who didn't join the channel, Chu Yinan instantly felt that his professional skills were outstanding!
He randomly picked one of the people he hadn't contacted yet, dialed their number, and received a response that was somewhat unexpected.
—Hello, the user you are calling has been arrested for violating local laws and regulations. Please contact their family at 1*****
"So, this guy's in jail? Like Miss Fei's situation?"
Chu Yinan refreshed the channel and found that the profile picture of the blind date she had just contacted had changed to black and gray, similar to the style of a funeral portrait.
Like Ms. Fei's situation, this kind of profile picture means she's been kicked out of the dating channel.
"Happiness came a bit suddenly. I ended up with a blind date out of nowhere. I should call another one and ask how things are going."
This time, Chu Yinan chose a bag with a profile picture of a woman's handbag. He used the smart recognition to search for the product information and found that it was a luxury brand bag.
While waiting for the call to connect, Chu Yinan muttered to himself, "Could it be a rich woman? I hope she's not from Glory Island again; it would be too much trouble to go there."
But the notification tone coming from the other end of the phone made him feel uneasy.
—Hello, the user you are calling has been arrested for violating local laws and regulations. Please contact their family at 1*****
For a moment, he thought he had accidentally pressed the wrong dial button on his phone and automatically dialed back to the previous number. But after a quick check, Chu Yinan found that the person with the designer handbag image had changed their profile picture to a funeral portrait style and had been removed from the channel.
This happened a third time soon after, and each time they were arrested for breaking the law.
Chu Yinan realized that he suddenly had far fewer blind dates to deal with, but he couldn't feel happy about it, which felt very strange!
“One case could be a coincidence, but so many at once is a bit strange. The matchmaking program has been running for so long, and I’ve never seen anyone complain about their date suddenly being found to have some kind of ‘background’ and then getting arrested. Now I’ve got four of them in one go. I can’t be that unlucky, can I? To draw so many scumbags?”
With a hint of doubt and frustration, Chu Yinan dialed those "relatives' contact numbers," but after hearing Chu Yinan claim that he "wanted to know about the situation of your arrested relative," they hung up on him without hesitation.
They probably considered him a suspicious person, but there was nothing Chu Yinan could do; he didn't know these people's names.
With the same strange feeling he had when drawing cards, Chu Yinan dialed the number of another match. This time, he was lucky; the other end of the line didn't immediately say "executed," but instead entered a waiting process to connect.
The beeping sound lasted for about forty seconds before the call was finally connected.
It was that familiar, tuned voice again, but this time the female voice sounded weak and listless, as if she had just stayed up all night.
Hello... who is this?
Won't this woman suddenly fall into a deep sleep?
"Hello, have you noticed any matchmaking messages appearing on your phone?"
Upon hearing this question, the woman on the other end of the phone perked up a bit.
[Huh? What's that? A new type of phone scam? Or a prank?]
Chapter 153: A married woman actually arrived?
This should be considered a new situation. Chu Yinan has been on so many blind dates, but this is the first time he has encountered such a muddle-headed person.
Once you're matched, the matching system will send you messages to harass you. How could anyone be unaware of this?
Chu Yinan first introduced himself, reciting his lines which he had already repeated many times, before confirming his identity:
"Normally, your phone should have received a notification, and the AI personal service terminal should have been sending you notifications as well. Didn't you notice the messages there?"
It's truly unbelievable that someone could resist ignoring that little red dot on their phone that indicates a new message. Every time Chu Yinan sees that little red dot, he compulsively taps it to close it.
[Oh, are you a staff member from AI Island, the one in charge of the system that assigns targets?]
Looks like you know something about this. I was about to think you were an alien... Chu Yinan breathed a sigh of relief:
"correct."
The sound of a faucet turning on came from the other end of the phone. It sounded like... the person being contacted was taking the call from the bathroom?
I lived on AI Island a long time ago, and I haven't been back for many years. My residency status on AI Island should have been revoked by now, so why am I still being matched?
"This is a bug... Just a moment, you've already left the artificial island?" Chu Yinan realized he had been making assumptions, or rather, the situation of his blind date had exceeded his expectations.
Under normal circumstances, blind date partners are all people within the artificial island system, and they try to choose members from the same artificial island, because there are many artificial islands nowadays.
The case of Ms. Chanel Lister from Glory Island is an extreme example of skirting the line; members of the nobility are not eligible for a match, but Chanel's background is unique.
She was an illegitimate child who grew up on the artificial island, but was later brought back to Glory Island. So, strictly speaking, Chu Yinan was matched with someone from within the artificial island system.
But this time, I was matched with someone who had left the island, and who even claimed to have left many years ago...
"Your situation is rather unique. Could you briefly tell me about your situation?"
"You must have made a mistake. I'm a married woman now. It's a bit much to match me with a blind date like this; it's like having an affair... If people find out, they'll definitely misunderstand. My husband's back, I have to hang up now. Contact me later if anything comes up."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yinan fell into deep thought about life.
He had worried before about "whether he would be matched with someone else's wife", and today it really happened.
Logically speaking, since this married woman has left the island, the matchmaking relationship should have ended on its own, because the matchmaking relationship is based on the premise of identity, namely, "member of the artificial island".
Now that even the premise is no longer valid, the blind date relationship should no longer exist.
Chu Yinan was worried about one thing: those blind dates categorized as unacceptable would automatically end, just like the previous blind date partners who all used "funeral photos" as their profile pictures. But this married woman's profile picture was still normal, and she was still on this channel...
"That's a bit strange. These are all people from outside the island. It's difficult for them to meet in person. I can't exactly ask her to divorce her husband first, come and help me with the mission, and then go back to be someone else's wife, can I?"
Without saying a word, Chu Yinan reported this major bug to the matchmaking system.
[Chu Yinan: This is beyond my control. I can't exactly leave the island to secretly find someone else's wife, can I?]
