The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian reassured everyone, "Don't worry, chefs. You'll receive patent fees once the robot is sold. Also, this robot is very expensive, so it probably won't be mass-produced."

Chef Fang, specializing in Hunan cuisine, cautiously asked, "Approximately what is the price range for robots?"

“The minimum price is in the millions. For each unit sold, you’ll receive 10% of the patent rights, which you’ll distribute proportionally,” Ruan Mianmian said earnestly. “I don’t understand the market; this is my initial pricing. I’ll have a professional handle the final price. Who knows, it might even sell for tens of millions.”

After all, there are many wealthy people in the world who only buy expensive things, not necessarily the right ones.

A new robot has been released, and wealthy people would probably be proud to own it and be willing to spend a lot of money on it.

Of course, this is not absolute. Perhaps wealthy people still prefer to have a live-in chef come to their homes or hire someone to live in their homes.

The chefs felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

Ruan Mianmian quickly changed the subject and continued, "Perhaps the experts will think that paying patent fees based on the number of robots sold is too unfair to you, and will eventually pay your recipe patents on an annual basis, just like singers license their rights to commercial performance venues... In short, I will try my best to secure the greatest benefit for you."

The chefs were initially only slightly relieved, but after hearing this, they were completely at ease.

Collecting patent fees annually would definitely be a very profitable business.

If it could be based on the number of times, that would be even more profitable!

Immediately, all the chefs were eager to get Ruan Mianmian to record: "Let's try our Sichuan/Shandong/Hunan cuisine today."

Ruan Mianmian readily agreed: "Okay, let's continue right away. However, everyone wants to record first, so let's draw lots to decide the order."

She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.

Ruan Mianmian looked down and saw that it was Sun Bizhong, a subordinate of the big boss, calling. She told the chefs and went to the lounge next door to answer the phone.

"Mianmian? Well, the leaders are having dinner here. They heard you're researching a robot that can cook, and they'd like to come and take a look. Have you started yet?" Sun Bizhong stated his purpose as soon as he spoke.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at the robot: "Two Cantonese dishes have already been prepared. If the leader wants to see them, the robot can prepare two more dishes."

"It's ready? How does it taste?" Sun Bizhong was surprised, but thinking about what Ruan Mianmian had made, which was probably another soulless dish made by those cooking robots, he felt that he was overreacting.

At this point, Ruan Mianmian's voice immediately brightened, filled with endless laughter: "A perfect replica of the national chef's skills!"

"So powerful?" Sun Bizhong was taken aback.

Ruan Mianmian first heard his shocked voice distorted, and then she heard him whispering to someone, so she waited patiently.

Sun Bizhong didn't keep her waiting long and quickly spoke up: "The leader said to come down right away."

The big boss did arrive very quickly, reaching the kitchen in just a few minutes.

When the chefs saw the arrival of the big boss, they were so excited that they didn't know what to say, and some of them were even trembling.

Ruan Mianmian gave the person in charge a push and stepped forward to greet them: "Welcome, leaders, for your inspection."

The person in charge seemed to wake from a dream and immediately went forward to greet them.

Actually, the big boss has eaten here more than once. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have lost his composure like this. But when the big boss comes here, he's there to eat, not to come to the kitchen. Now that he suddenly appears in the kitchen, he can't react in time.

The leader was very kind. He nodded and said some encouraging words to the chefs. Then he smiled and looked at Ruan Mianmian: "I heard that robots can perfectly replicate the chefs' skills? I'm lucky enough to have a taste."

“Just tell us what the leader wants to eat,” Ruan Mianmian said, pointing to the robot. “The leader can just give the order to it; for now, we’ll call it Chef God.”

The top leader was very interested in this technology, and upon hearing this, he did not refuse and immediately went to the robot to order food.

Ruan Mianmian looked at Sun Bizhong: "Why did you arrive so quickly?"

Logically speaking, when a high-ranking leader travels, various checks should be conducted in advance.

"Isn't it because of you?" Sun Bizhong said, giving Ruan Mianmian a thumbs up.

He was telling the truth; with Ruan Mianmian around, there was no need to worry about danger at all.

He has been practicing with the top leader these days, and has only just begun to draw in Qi into his body, reaching the late stage of the first level of Qi Refining. Yet, he can already fight to a draw with special forces soldiers who have not yet practiced.

Ruan Mianmian is already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, so you can imagine how powerful she is.

With such a powerful figure guarding the area, is there any need to worry about anyone threatening the top leader?

Ruan Mianmian looked the big leader up and down and saw that he was not wearing any protective gear. She subconsciously wanted to take out the spirit stone pendant, but a moment before taking it out, she felt that the pendant was not appropriate, so she took out two brooches instead.

It's simply unacceptable to give the same gift to the leader as to the Zhang family.

Furthermore, if outsiders see that the Zhang family's pendant is the same as that of a high-ranking leader, there will certainly be many speculations.

Therefore, it's better to send something different.

Two brooches, one bright green, the other not so much.

Seeing that all the chefs were focused on the big boss and hadn't noticed them, Ruan Mianmian quietly handed the two thumb rings to Sun Bizhong: "One is for you, and one is for the boss. Give it to him quietly." She then asked, "Why isn't the boss wearing any jewelry?"

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was giving gifts, not only to high-ranking officials but also to him, Sun Bizhong was flattered and excitedly extended both hands to accept them. After thanking her sincerely, he explained in a low voice:

"The leaders said that researchers are more important, so they distributed all the defensive artifacts you brought back to the researchers. There are also some that they said they would keep for the researchers. No matter how much we tried to persuade them, they refused to wear them, saying that they had people protecting them and they didn't need them."

Ruan Mianmian felt a deep respect for him.

The big boss ordered braised pigeon and oyster omelet, and then looked at them with great relish.

When they saw the robot's movements so fluid and indistinguishable from those of a real person, they were just as shocked as the chefs.

When it came time to taste the dishes, he praised both dishes highly, and after praising the dishes, he began to praise Ruan Mianmian.

Because of the arrival of the high-ranking leader, Ruan Mianmian was unable to continue inputting other cuisines, and the other chefs could not stay there indefinitely.

After the senior leader finished eating, only Ruan Mianmian, the senior leader, and Sun Bizhong remained in the room.

The senior leader looked at Ruan Mianmian: "I overheard something, and there's been a lot of criticism of you online lately. You're planning to release this robot, right? After it's released, those people should stop talking about you. However, this kind of thing can't be completely stopped. What do you think? If you're going to leave the entertainment industry, have Xiao Sun give the order that no one can discuss you online anymore."

In that case, netizens would no longer be able to criticize Ruan Mianmian, and Ruan Mianmian would no longer have to go through such a distressing experience.

"I think I'll stay in the entertainment industry," Ruan Mianmian said with a smile. "I have more than one scientific research achievement in the future, and I can use my scientific research achievements to shut everyone up."

The real reason she did this was because her presence in the entertainment industry allowed those who had bullied her to continue to be subjected to cyberbullying.

She suffered for so many years, and those people should pay back two or three times as much!
