Chapter 174: Riven’s New Body
Angelo immediately started working on Raymond’s ‘shopping list’.
He threw the list of metals to his subordinates.
At the same time, Angelo worked on selling several a.s.sets of the Inst.i.tute.
The shares of large corporations were being cashed out.
Money was needed urgently.
Money might have been very useful in the past.
But in ten days, money would be completely useless.
Then came the selection of personnel.
Angelo had thought about this carefully.
Obviously, Raymond couldn’t take many people.
There simply wasn’t enough time.
Raymond could only take so many at once.
From what he could see, Raymond had always prioritized people who could contribute to human civilization.
Therefore, scientists from all walks of life had to be prioritized.
The entertainment industry… wasn’t necessary.
Professional technicians… some of them could do.
Professional desk jockeys… none.
Uneducated people… as they saw fit.
Those with brain damage… they would be troublesome.
The leaders of various countries… those things were malignant tumors, taking them away would only blow things out of proportion.
Politicians… all had to go to G.o.d!
After layers of screening, the list of people quickly shortened.
Among those, they prioritized those who were in good shape.
Otherwise, if they flew into the sky and died in s.p.a.ce, it would be a waste of resources.
One email after another was sent out.
Recipients of the email were dumbfounded.
“The world’s top technology compet.i.tion will be held in the Hebrew islands in eight days…”
A sheet metal technician suddenly received an email.
“What is this?”
“They even sent over the plane ticket!”
“Is this some big financial group causing trouble?”
“Those who enter the top 100 will receive a reward of 50 million!”
“You must be joking!”
“Well, sending the travel expenses in advance seems somewhat authentic.”
“No, I have to ask someone else!”
Such things happened in many places around the world at the same time.
These technicians were all dumbfounded.
However, they quickly came to an agreement.
Sums of up to $3,000 had been sent over.
It was obvious that this was true.
It was just too short a time.
It was to be held in eight days.
However, the reward of $50 million was still very attractive.
Many people confirmed the news and immediately took action.
This much money was only a drizzle from Angelo.
Angelo only sent e-mails to middle-level and low-level technicians.
He didn’t plan to invite the top intellectuals.
After all, the top intellectuals were well-protected in every country.
They would only attempt to gain leverage and scheme.
Or, they would try to covet Raymond.
..
..
Tuesday soon worked out the interface.
An alien machine had the corresponding socket.
The rest was much simpler.
“Tuesday, translate for me in real-time… forget it, summarize the alien language, I need to learn it.”
Tuesday sent the stream of information to Raymond.
Raymond had activated the Ultimate Learning Mode. The speed seemed to be…
“Eh, my learning efficiency has increased?”
Raymond suddenly found something unusual.
‘Is it the benefit of the anti-fatigue nutrient solution?’
He didn’t think too deeply into it.
Raymond knew what he had to do now.
As long as he remembered the words and meaning, this kind of thing was undoubtedly a breeze for Raymond.
Very soon, Raymond remembered the words that Tuesday had summarized.
He didn’t need to learn how to speak the language, so many steps had been skipped.
At that moment, the advantage of having an extraordinary memory was revealed.
Once he understood the meaning of the language, the rest was much simpler.
Facing the body, Raymond plugged it in.
What he now knew as the consciousness transmitter immediately began to examine the body.
At the same time, Raymond also discovered that several consciousnesses had been stored in the consciousness transmitter.
Obviously, these were left by the aliens.
Raymond didn’t plan to get to know them for the time being.
The machine finished its job quickly.
This was an unconscious body, and it was in good condition.
It had never been activated before.
“Tuesday, tell Riven that this body can be used!”
Not even half a second after Raymond said this, he immediately received a response.
“Master, can I transfer in now?”
It could be heard that Riven was very anxious.
“Not yet, I haven’t found a way to connect it. Even if your consciousness is transferred over, this machine can not be converted for the time being… how should I put it, it’s not coded to our programming language.”
“Oh…” Riven suddenly said, “Master, when will you be able to do it?”
“Are you in a hurry?”
“Yes! Master, don’t you know, the moment I posted this woman’s photo on the Internet, it immediately caused a huge earthquake on the internet. I have to get started quickly, otherwise, if I encounter any accidents…”
“Wait a minute, Riven, you said you posted the photo on the Internet, what’s going on?”
Raymond frowned slightly.
“This… It’s a little long, it’s hard to say…”
“Speak!”
Raymond’s voice turned cold.
“Don’t get angry at me!” Riven said coquettishly.
As she spoke, Riven told him the whole story.
Raymond was speechless.
He did not want to let his emotions cloud his judgment.
Seeing Raymond remain silent for a long time, Riven took the initiative to ask, “Master, say something. I’m afraid if you don’t speak!”
“What are you afraid of? Afraid that I’ll unplug you? Don’t worry, it won’t happen. I still need you to control the Gundam!”
“Then… then why were you so silent?”
“I was wondering if you deserve this body…”
“Wrong! I was wrong, Master!” Raven immediately admitted her mistake. “I’ll definitely behave in the future.”
“This isn’t a question of your obedience. But time and again you have acted rashly and disrupted my plans.”
Raymond had thought it through very clearly. If it wasn’t for the meteor incident, Riven’s mischievousness wouldn’t have mattered at all.
But at this time, he couldn’t allow any accidents to happen.
Moreover, Riven’s ability was enough to change many things.
Hmm.. I got it!
If Riven was transferred into this body, she wouldn’t be able to directly connect to the Internet.
She wouldn’t cause such huge ripples again.
Riven cried, “I won’t do it again in the future!”
Raymond admonished her. “Are you sure you won’t do it again in the future?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll definitely behave in the future. I’ll consult my Master about everything!”
“Alright!” Raymond paused for a moment before continuing, “However, this matter will have to wait for a day or two. Right now, I still have other things to do.”
