My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 219 Sacred Artifact
"Fine." After hesitating for a while, the person in charge gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Fine, I'll blow it!"

If someone calls again, he simply says it was requested by the owner of the phone number.

The big shots are fighting, it has nothing to do with him, a nobody! He's just there to control public opinion.

the other side.

After scrolling for a full half hour, Howard noticed the comment section had finally quieted down considerably. Meanwhile, the trending topic was climbing even faster, which relieved him. He happily continued watching the video…

Another half hour passed before he finally forced himself to look away. He felt he couldn't look any longer; if he kept looking like that... he figured he could sit there until dawn!

"However, this level of addiction... always reminds me of TT." Howard suddenly stopped moving. Could it be that this will give birth to another phenomenal company in the future?

"If that's really the case, should we take the lead and see if we can acquire them... No, it seems they're not short of money! This is a bit troublesome... Or, could we discuss and test the waters with Chu Zhu in the future?"

After thinking for a while.

“Number One.” Howard suddenly realized something and asked, a sharp, dark glint in his eyes: “Based on these videos, estimate the capabilities of the AI ​​behind it… Is it possible for it to catch up with you?”

If so! Howard pursed his lips. Then Zhao Shao's suspicion level might be comparable to Guan Qianyu's...

After all, he knew all too well the origins of Skynet.

How could someone catch up to that?! Is this even human?!
"...Initiate detection! Begin Skynet-linked thinking." Skynet One pondered for a long time before finally providing an answer: "Based on the current situation, the AI ​​on the other side should be an AI specializing in video production... Different AIs have different strengths! This also means that if the other side is extremely skilled in video production, then the evaluation of its other related abilities will be greatly reduced! Considering the previous guidance on public opinion... we conclude: it should be an AI specializing in entertainment!"

"Sir, based on the information we have, this kind of video production, compared to true artificial intelligence, has gone down the wrong path... Perhaps we can appropriately lower the suspicion level against Mr. Zhao Shao!"

Howard was taken aback. Had the suspicion actually decreased? He was somewhat confused. Oh well, since it was Skynet's decision...

Howard was very self-aware; the reason he became the owner of the tank codename was because he wasn't very good at using his brain!
He's just an executive! In these logical deductions, he's certainly inferior to Skynet…

“Then,” Howard paused briefly, “pass this message on to the priest!”

However, Howard then noticed a newly popped-up message, and his face showed astonishment: "What? That Mr. Chu is going to Bald Eagle tomorrow? So soon? No…"

Howard had assumed that he would give them a notification before they would respond! Why are you in such a hurry to go? Are you planning a vacation in the Bald Eagle?

Somewhat confused, he quickly realized: "What does it mean... to have participated in a Grand Slam tournament in the past???"

"Aren't you a singer? Wait! You're also an athlete?!"

Howard was dumbfounded, feeling that something was off: "Wait! So why is he texting me now...?"

Howard belatedly realized what was happening, and his eye twitched: "Skynet, now... urgently contact the people at the visa center! Process the visas urgently... they must be completed before 6 a.m. tomorrow! Same as before, the person processing the visas must not be present..."

Heaven knows it'll be done so fast? He said it would be done by the afternoon! He was just being polite... but now... it's come to this, so we can only ask the people at the visa center to speed things up.

Howard finally breathed a sigh of relief after his visa was approved and he received the notification.

After thinking for a moment, Howard ordered two more bowls of noodles from the owner, finished his dinner, paid the bill, and left.

After a while.

Nanjing Bald Eagle Visa Application Centre.

Howard booked a room and, with a serious expression, contacted James again, explaining the specific situation…

"So you're saying you plan to come back first to help this young man with his affairs, and then return to Jinling to continue searching for potential candidates for the Holy Son?" James Raven was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

“I’ve met with all the suspects I could! As for the rest, like Guan Qianyu, I simply can’t get in touch with them.” Howard sighed. “Actually, according to Skynet, I’m already being watched by the authorities here in China… Maybe I was just too reckless before.”

Howard, completely unaware that his contact with Chu Zhu had caused the problem, was still pondering which official system's suspected Holy Son had led to the issue—ultimately, in his eyes, Chu Zhu was just a super genius with a plethora of skills, not a scientist.

“After I return, I plan to apply for a sacred artifact!” Howard carefully chose his words. “After all, only by using those sacred artifacts for verification can we ensure… whether the candidate is a true Holy Son!”

"...You mean, you suspect this Chu Zhu?" James Raven understood the implication.

"Not really, he just happened to be there, so let's get him tested while we're at it!" Howard nodded expressionlessly. "But then again, he's definitely a much more suspicious person... not just because of his songs, but also because of his incredible calligraphy... and most importantly, his physique!"

Howard's fingers lightly traced the tabletop: "He was originally last... but now, in my opinion, if he can achieve something beyond imagination in sports, his suspiciousness is second only to Guan Qianyu and Zhao Shao. And he just happens to be going to the White Eagle this time! If everything really goes smoothly, it really could be him... There's nothing better than this!"

“Of course,” Howard shrugged after a slight pause, “Even if it really isn’t him, it doesn’t matter! After I’ve dealt with things on his end, I’ll bring the sacred artifact back to China.”

"After all, it's impossible for me to find out who is the most suspicious just by talking to them! People like Mr. Chu who just happened to go to Bald Eagle are a minority... You can't expect me to find the Holy Son without giving me anything."

"..." After a long silence, James used Skynet to search through a large amount of information he had collected during this period. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Alright! Chariot, I approve your return. Regarding the Sacred Artifact, I'm going to lead a meeting! We'll see how the vote goes then."

After a brief pause, James Raven looked at Howard and emphasized, "But no matter what... even if you leave, the control over Jinling cannot be relaxed!"

“I know.” Howard nodded, then made the sign of the cross on his chest with a devout expression.

They exchanged a glance and spoke almost simultaneously.

"May all things belong to the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord!"

Then, the screen went out, and in its place... was a slowly closing eye.
