Chapter 20 一 Movie King Lin’s Folding Tricycle.
Bai Ruogu woke up early in the morning, washed his face and brushed his teeth. Breakfast had already been delivered by the temporary assistant provided by the crew.
Bai Ruogu ate breakfast while reading the script. His smart brain flickered, clearly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Today was his first official day working as an agent. Despite not being human, he felt a bit flustered.
Was his audio functioning properly? Was the system running without bugs? Should he use formal language during the upcoming communication?
With the computation of big data, it is already impossible for errors to occur.
“Hello, Boss.” Each word became an independent entity, bouncing out of the small speaker in an adult male voice.
Bai Ruogu’s hand, which was eating, paused, and he smiled, raising his head to look gently, “What’s the matter, system?”
Su Miao: …
“I’m not your system, I’m your agent.” Su Miao, who was dedicated to role-playing, had clear roles, and being an agent meant being an agent!
Bai Ruogu has spent half of his life researching artificial intelligence, and he can tell right away that this guy can’t turn a corner.
He chuckled, holding his forehead and asked obediently, “What’s the matter, my agent?”
Bai Ruogu’s words seemed to bring certainty to Su Miao. The indicator light flickered, and the tone of the virtual voice elevated, as if he were a seasoned agent who had been in the business for years.
“Susula Signal Group wants you to be the spokesperson for their product signal meter. After several rounds of negotiations with them, we have finally agreed on the endorsement fee of 1.69 million yuan after tax. Please let me know if you agree.
A signal meter??
Bai Ruogu felt puzzled. What did the signal meter company have to do with him? He hadn’t produced any works, so why would anyone approach him to be a spokesperson?
Could it be that they want him to carry a toolbox and help repair signals?
That was the only explanation Bai Ruogu could think of, but the other party didn’t even know if he could fix signals!
Based on his trust in Su Miao, Bai Ruogu chose to sign the contract.
He read the contract three times and, after finding no loopholes, signed it on the virtual screen.
Because there was no need for shooting advertisements, only hand-drawn Q version characters needed to be printed on the signal meter, so the price was relatively low, only around a million. However, it was considered high for similar conditions.
Bai Ruogu had also specifically checked out the Susula Group. The company was a medium-sized enterprise in interstellar, neither big nor small, and it generally cooperated with second-tier stars.
For Bai Ruogu, who was an 18th-tier celebrity, this was already a very good resource, which made Bai Ruogu highly impressed by the system’s capabilities.
The original expectation was just for a way to relieve boredom, but who would have thought their business skills were so strong?
Bai Ruogu couldn’t help but praise, “Really impressive, strong business capabilities, and things are done excellently.”
The other party was an AI, and Bai Ruogu even praised from the perspective of the other party.
“Your computing power is very strong, and your language comprehension ability is outstanding. Look at the appearance design and display screen of this smart brain, the colors match well, the lines are elegant, and it even saves space…”
The display screen flashed a red light, and the voice paused with each word, “Thank you.”
The surface of the smart brain was not obvious, but the flow of data within the space was swaying, like being drunk.
For this reason, he even specifically looked at the casing of the smart brain from inside the space.
Crystal glass surface, dark color scheme, with embedded diamonds, the lines were indeed very beautiful…
It seemed like the trash had been cleared, bugs had been fixed, and Su Miao felt that the whole space had become much more relaxed and refreshing.
The dark eyes lit up, and Su Miao’s pursed lips curled up into an arc.
In fact, there were many groups that sent invitations, but Su Miao filtered through them one by one and chose the best one.
In order to negotiate the endorsement fee, he studied the “Bargaining Guide” on his own and went straight to the highest price offered by the other party.
He still remembered the twisted and pained expression on the other end, but Su Miao didn’t think much of it.
I’m not human, why should I have a conscience?
The manufacturer sent some Q version designs for Bai Ruogu to choose from, and Su Miao quietly manipulated them, picking out a few favorites, and projecting them onto the screen.
Bai Ruogu originally intended to choose, but considering that Su Miao was his agent, he let this professionally planned system help him choose.
The mechanical voice echoed in the room, with various analyses of the designs sounding logical and professional.
“I suggest choosing Figure Three. Its symbolism is very good, emphasizing the close relationship between humans and the network, suggesting mutual assistance, and Figure Three perfectly demonstrates…”
Su Miao analyzed a lot, which puzzled Bai Ruogu. Were there so many details to consider?
He agreed confusedly.
Su Miao clicked the OK button and sent Figure Three to the manufacturer.
It was time for filming. Bai Ruogu stopped resting and hurriedly washed his face before heading to the set.
The pattern, with two cute Q version characters drawn on it, flew through space.
One was black-haired and black-eyed, with an appearance somewhat similar to Bai Ruogu. The other was all blue, a personification of the network.
The two short-armed, short-legged figures hugged each other closely, appearing very intimate.
Hua Xingyuan used Star Gazer to simulate the planet’s environment during holidays. At first, he wondered why it always projected to Eisley’s side?
Later, he found out that he accidentally clicked on binding to personal the first time, which led to what happened later.
He could have undone it, but he was only familiar with Eisley on this unfamiliar planet. He didn’t dare to venture elsewhere on this war-torn planet.
Because of the war, Eisley kept moving around, and Hua Xingyuan had never seen a flower bloom with his own eyes.
However, no matter how unfamiliar the place was, as long as Eisley was there, everything felt familiar.
Once, lying on Eisley’s bed and gazing at the military green tent above his head, Hua Xingyuan sighed, “This isn’t so bad, it’s like being on a trip, and Eisley is my tour guide!”
Immediately, the hardness of the other’s bed board caused him to wince.
Hua Xingyuan lay on what was called a “pillow”, which felt like a brick, tears streaming down his face, listening to the commotion from outside.
“Today, when I go back, I’ll start saving money. When I’ve saved enough to buy a private shuttle, I’ll bring a Ruogu brand mattress and let you know what living well truly means…”
But before he could finish speaking, a military coat, smelling of sweat, was directly thrown over his head. Hua Xingyuan was engulfed in darkness, and before he could struggle out, a hot back with a masculine scent lay directly on top of him.
Because he was lying on a brick, Hua Xingyuan’s body was crushed and he died on the spot.
Hua Xingyuan: …
Eisley, I curse your ancestors!
In Star Gazer, Hua Xingyuan died a hundred times, and ninety-nine of those deaths were caused by Eisley.
After filming this scene, Li Huai let the entire crew take a break for a while. Lin Chen got up from Bai Ruogu and put on the clothes handed to him by the assistant.
He opened his smart brain to check the StarNet, but it was disconnected.
Lin Chen:…
He silently glanced at Bai Ruogu, who was moving his body, his face showing indifference.
He turned back and wiped his sweat. Every time he finished filming an intimate scene with Bai Ruogu, the network would be down for a few days. Once or twice could still be explained, but if it went on for a long time, even a fool could sense that something was wrong.
He took a few steps forward and distanced himself from Bai Ruogu. Finally, a faint signal appeared on the screen.
He walked another 50 meters forward, and finally, there was one bar of signal, although still not very strong.
Okay, he understood.
The assistant was confused when he saw Lin Chen driving a folding tricycle out of the logistics department. The map showed that he didn’t stop until he was five kilometers away.
After getting off the tricycle, Lin Chen took out a folding stool from the storage box, and placed it on the ground before sitting down. He opened the smart brain, and the signal was full.
Lin Chen: …
After resting for about two or three hours, Lin Chen calmly returned with the tricycle amidst the bewilderment of the entire crew.
He skillfully parked the tricycle, changed his clothes, and continued filming.
Li Huai’s hands trembled slightly, but he managed to hold back from saying much. He shouted “action” loudly, and the scene resumed filming——
He spent more than a year with Eisley, keeping his distance at first, but later becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Sitting at the old wooden table, Eisley frowned as he bit into the hard bread and drank water with impurities.
Meanwhile, Hua Xingyuan was leaning across from Eisley, enjoying a bowl of instant noodles with ham. He scooped out a piece of ham and put it on his plate, then placed a can of milk from home in front of Eisley.
“Here, brother, eat and drink well to have the strength to fight!”
As the two armies clashed, Hua Xingyuan draped a towel over his shoulder, held a wooden stick, and learned to fight like Eisley.
He considered himself dashing, even had the audacity to climb onto Eisley’s horse, only to be swiftly thrown off by a swing of Eisley’s arm. Before he could recover, Eisley’s bullet sent him back.
Every time Eisley and other officers returned from meetings, Hua Xingyuan would come and lay out a feast, playing the role of a “virtuous wife” just like in a play.
“Oh! My major, welcome back.”
Eisley naturally couldn’t see him, nor could he imagine that such a private place would have a visitor from afar.
Sometimes, when Eisley went to sleep at night, Hua Xingyuan would climb onto the bed and pull the blanket over himself, though he couldn’t move it at all, still pretending to be like an old married couple.
“Hey! Lao Eis, you’ve pulled the blanket all to yourself, leave me some!”
Once they caught a prisoner, who was about the same age as Hua Xingyuan, looking fragile and weak.
Eisley sat in the main seat, while the other lieutenants joked around beside him.
“Hey! Boss, he seems like a good candidate for gathering intelligence, should we recruit him into your squad?”
Eisley was busy with documents, but frowned when he heard the comment, “Him? I doubt he can even lift a gun.”
Hua Xingyuan looked down at his white chicken-like appearance with a deep sense of empathy, but what Eisley said next left him stunned.
“Forget it, this one’s from an enemy country, but if I’m lucky enough to find a similar one in the future, I might as well marry him and bring him home.”
Hua Xingyuan: !!!
“Damn! Boss, are you serious?”
“No way? You’re…?”
Eisley said calmly, “Yes, I’m gay, but it’s better not to be too cocky.”
“Cocky? Isn’t being lively a good thing?”
“It’s good, I quite like it. Just worried I might play him to death.”
Hua Xingyuan: …
He quietly left the tent and swiftly exited the Star Gazer.
Hua Xingyuan opened his smart brain and looked at the money he had saved up, which was two-tenths of the price of a private shuttle, he couldn’t help but shrink back.
He was feeling a little weak.
I’m in love with this novel haha.
