I will be a boss in the future world

"ES Supreme Commander, Director of Security Bureau - Tan Suho."

...! ! !

The man was in a leisurely manner and reminded: "You have ten seconds."

Yu Ying stared at the man's half-bowed eyes and asked in a low voice: "If I promise you, when can you let me go home?"

Director Tan raised his eyes, looked at her with a smile, and said slowly: "You just asked the last question, did you forget it?"

"..."

This smiling tiger!

"Five seconds left."

The man in front of her was always so calm and oppressive, and it was really difficult for her to gain the upper hand. Yu Ying thought about it for a long time and had already made a decision.

"3..."

"I promise you, I will accept your mission."

"……it is good."

The man raised his lips in satisfaction. "Smart decision. I was right about you."

"When can I go home? And the other person you arrested, Shi Yuan." Yuying let out a sigh and explained, "He is just a technical geek who occasionally cooperates with me. He never knows the specific operations."

"Now that you've caught me, can you let him go?"

After listening to Yuying's words, Tan Suhe raised his eyes and said, "Let me make it clear...his situation has never been within the scope of discussion in this negotiation."

"Your words can only represent yourself. As for him..."

"It seems that his relationship with you is more than just cooperation. It won't be easy to leave or stay."

Yu Ying: "..."

After saying that, he reached out and turned on the monitoring device on the table, then leaned back lazily.

It seemed that the negotiation had ended. Tan Suhe ended the interrogation in a very procedural manner: "Although the evidence is insufficient, you are still a major suspect. Therefore, we will install a micro-electronic positioning device on you to monitor you at all times."

"Once you have completed these formalities, you can leave."

Without waiting for Yuying's reaction, he lazily straightened his sleeves, his eyes full of suggestion.

"The day after tomorrow is Monday. Remember to go to work on time and don't be late."

"..."

Yuying's brain was still a little groggy until she walked out of the ES office building. A special microchip was implanted behind her neck, as if she was tied with invisible shackles.

Yuying rubbed the back of his neck and looked back with a frown.

The sky-high ES Tower does not stand alone. It is connected to other buildings through wide corridors in the sky, linking itself with other behemoths to form another spectacular transportation network, making them stand more firmly and indestructibly on this land.

The towering steel towers are dotted with thousands of lights, and countless colorful giant billboards are hung on each metal frame, running meaningless propaganda day and night for the giant companies that rule the world.

Really... as high-profile as that guy Tan Suhe!

However, Shi Yuan should be okay now, right?

Judging from the director's tone, it seems that he only wants to detain him temporarily and use him as another bargaining chip.

But letting Wen Yuying go like this, did he trust her too much, or did he trust himself too much?

But no matter what, the leverage over both of them is now in Tan Suhe's hands.

She must think carefully about how to get out of this big trouble.

When I walked outside, a drizzle started to fall from the sky again, making the wet streets even colder.

It seems like the rain in this city will never stop.

Yuying shrugged her shoulders and turned on her brain-computer to automatically plan the best route home. There was a bus stop not far from the ES office building, and she planned to go there to take the bus home.

Damn it, bringing her to this place so far from home without even reimbursing her for the transportation, what a damn capitalist! !

When we arrived at the nearest tram station, there were already quite a few people waiting for the train to arrive.

The extensive transportation network occupies every inch of land that has not been occupied by high-rise buildings, connecting every building and every corner of the city. Trams are densely distributed on it, and they run like blood flowing in black blood vessels.

All of these cars are illuminated by the dazzling lights of the advertising billboards on the tall buildings, blending into the entire city and becoming an indispensable part of this city.

Yuying blended into the crowd of people waiting at the end as if nothing had happened, observing quietly in silence.

Numbers, information and technology created this world, and holographic images interweave reality and fantasy. Dazzling neon lights and eerie synthetic sound effects flood the streets, becoming one of the symbols of this era.

Just as she was observing the world curiously, seemingly indifferent to the facts, suddenly, two spheres glued together in front of her approached rapidly.

In a flash, the speed of the ball slowed down infinitely in Yuying's eyes, and before her brain could react, her body reacted first.

Yuying quickly flashed to the platform not far away, but the middle-aged man who was originally standing next to her was not so lucky. A large cut was made on his arm by the protruding steel frame on the flying sphere, and his entire arm was instantly covered in blood.

The man's face was twisted in pain, and his screams of pain and curses were drowned out by the noisy crowd. He covered the bleeding wound with his other hand, and left with a grimace without waiting for the car.

Yuying watched him disappear around the corner of the alley, glanced at the people around her with her peripheral vision, and then lowered her eyes.

The middle-aged man had a mechanical hand. Except for the frightened look on the faces of the people around him when the man was scratched, the rest of the time their faces were full of numbness as if they were used to it.

Bionic prostheses are a very normal existence in this world, and the two bonded spheres speeding past are the suspended combination trains used by ordinary citizens of the empire to travel. They look like two large iron balls glued together, and because of their low cost, they are deeply loved by ordinary citizens who cannot afford flying cars.

The symbiotic fusion of machines and humans has become a peculiar way of life, allowing people living in this world to have their own unique meaning of life.

The minor accident just now did not attract anyone's attention. Many people were still rushing on their way, while some gathered under a signboard not far away.

Seeing the logo of the suspended tram on the sign, Yuying thought for a moment and did not go forward. She lowered her head slightly, leaned against the bare metal wall, and continued to observe quietly.

Because of the implanted chip, she always felt uncomfortable all over, both physically and mentally.

About a few minutes later, the tram slid over and opened the door that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The passengers at the waiting point got on the bus one by one. The security identification device on the roof flashed green and gave a prompt, and the passenger's identity information appeared on the black screen.

"Identification passed, payment completed..."

"Identification passed, payment completed..."

"Identification passed, payment completed..."

When people go through security checks on trams, the screens display personal identification information, which was designed by the Empire for city management.

In the information age, people have sacrificed freedom and privacy for convenience.

Knowing without thinking that the security check would be done directly through a brain-computer interface to detect personal information, Yuying sighed silently and followed him into the car.

When the carriages are full, the tram will automatically assemble and transport the passengers to cars on different routes. Its glass is also a photosensitive design, which will become transparent when lighting is needed. If you want to drive normally, you can dim it a little.

The tram sped along on the elevated track, shuttling through the city, and soon Yuying arrived at her get-off point.

Just as Yuying got off the car while dozing off, there was still a drizzle in the sky. She rubbed her hair which had been repeatedly wetted in annoyance. After a busy day, she just wanted to go home and take a shower.

When I got home, the lights in the room came on immediately.

A familiar voice sounded, and a holographic image appeared before my eyes.

It is the image of a young man. Looking at the data flow running on him, I think he is another AI.

"Yuying, welcome home."

"It was drizzling tonight, the temperature was 20 degrees, and you forgot to bring an umbrella again."

Yuying sighed softly. After just one day of rebirth, she was surprised at her ability to adapt and was no longer surprised by all kinds of high-tech.

I think it was also due to the original owner's memory that she had the illusion that she had lived this kind of life before.

She nodded in response, took off her coat, and looked in the refrigerator to see if there was anything she could use to prepare her own dinner.

According to the original owner's memory, this was a gift from Shi Yuan to Wen Yuying, which was a prank.

"He" is an intelligent AI based on the NOW system and knows everything about network information.

But this image was deliberately created for her by Shi Yuan, and he even gave it a beautiful name: giving her a "man"?

Yu Ying ruthlessly complained: "It's obviously just a program..."

"I'm not a program, I'm an all-round AI based on the NOW system." He spoke like a normal person, even more fluently and clearly than a normal person. "Whatever Yuying asks for, I can satisfy you."

Hearing this, she asked in surprise: "Then can you help me cook?"

If there is an AI butler that can cook, that would be really - so cool!!!

"If it's instant food, please put it in the food processor and I'll heat it up for you."

"If you want to eat something else, I can order it for you online."

Sure enough, Yuying lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment and rubbed her forehead with her hand.

"never mind……"

"You don't understand what I mean at all."

"..."

"Please turn on the TV for me. I want to watch today's news."

"Ok."

The TV is broadcasting the results of today's virtual arena competition.

The winner was still the man codenamed "Jingmi", who defended the title for the fourth time.

Due to a malfunction in the final live broadcast, the competition was vague and claimed that Wen Yuying also died at his hands.

This kind of behavior of killing the lifesaver...

Instead, people talk about it with relish and praise it as the rationality and ruthlessness that a strong person should have.

But surprisingly, "Jingmi", who never shows up after the game, accepted an interview this time and announced his original appearance and real name.

"This is Mr. Ji Jingxian's fourth time winning the championship!"

"Do you have any winning tips or experiences?"

The man looked at the camera with a smile, as if he was looking at someone through the screen. His eyes were deep and there was a hint of smile at the corners of his mouth, which made his originally sharp facial features inexplicably soften.

“Actually, I lost…”

“I shouldn’t have won.”

"This public appearance is just to let someone know..."

"My name is Ji Jingxian, I remember her."

Yu Ying: "..."

After saying this, he lowered his head again and quickly left the reporters' siege and questioning.

Headache……

The "someone" he was talking about, couldn't it be her?

It seems that being remembered by such a person is not a good thing.

Yuying lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her meal, when suddenly the voice of the AI ​​butler rang in her ears again.

"Yuying, give me a name."

Yuying was surprised: "......?!"

"Isn't your name YC07? Isn't that your name?"

The housekeeper AI shook his head, and Yuying actually heard a hint of loneliness in his humanized tone, "YC07 is my model, not my name."

"I want a special title, just like you guys."

She was stunned for a moment in surprise, thinking that it was worthy of being a super AI, and it could make requests. However, of course she had to pamper her own AI.

"What name do you want?"

"Yuying likes it and calls me specifically."

"Um……"

Yuying stopped cutting vegetables, thought for a moment, and looked at the housekeeper AI for a few more times, and asked faintly: "Xiao Y? Xiao C? Xiao Qi?"

"..."

She suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing the housekeeper AI and deliberately said, "Why not just call her Xiao Qi? It sounds good..."

"Name changed, system update complete."

Yuying's body froze. She didn't expect that the name she casually said was actually taken seriously by him. It was obvious that he was not taking it seriously.

She quickly tried to make amends: "Oh my god, you're too quick, I was just saying it casually."

"Yuying gave me this name. This name is unique and belongs only to you."

Hearing this, Yuying's heartbeat suddenly stopped and her mind went blank for a moment. She had no choice but to continue working with her head down.

"You're just an AI, why do you suddenly want a name?"

The housekeeper AI quickly retorted: "You are all human, why do you have different names?"

"because……"

"Because it's easier to distinguish individuals, everyone is different."

He replied very seriously: "I am different too, I belong to Yuying."

"..."

Yuying was a little mad, "Did Shiyuan install some kind of messed up program for you? Why does it sound so much like a boyfriend setting...?"

She doesn’t want an AI butler set up by her boyfriend right now!

"Boyfriend...what is it?"

Yuying scratched his head and stuttered to explain: "Boyfriend is... a special kind of male friend..."

"Why is it special?"

"Um……"

She looked very embarrassed. How could she explain this since she had never had a boyfriend?

The smart AI butler next to him took the initiative to search -

"Information search [boyfriend]..."

"Male friend, usually used by couples."

"When the female partner acknowledges that the male partner is in a romantic relationship, then he or she can be called a boyfriend."

"The keyword is unclear, information search [romantic relationship]..."

"Term explanation, an emotional behavior between people."

"Dopamine, adrenaline and serotonin are hormones that act on love behavior, which can be manifested in physical contact behaviors such as hugging, kissing, and making out..."

The more Yuying listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The topic seemed to have gone off track, so she quickly stopped him: "Okay, okay, stop!"

She sighed, "You don't even have a personality, let alone a gender, so stop making trouble!"

"Personality, what is it?"

“……” Yuying sighed again.

"Go research it online yourself. I need to eat."

"..."
