Chapter 117 – Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (1)


Beijing, inside an unlisted courtyard…


The middle-aged team leader, who was remotely commanding the operation to capture the foreign agents, looked at the arrested white man displayed on the screen. Picking up his headset, he asked, “Does he have anything from the warehouse on him?”


“No. The items he has on him are just a bunch of special mining tools.”


“What about the black man? Why did you capture only one person? There should be another.”


“Team Leader, we only found one person. The other person should still be inside the tunnel, but…” the police officer on the screen trailed off his words and stopped talking.


“But what?”


“When the white man was crawling out of the tunnel, we heard his companion’s screams.”


“Screams?” The middle-aged man subconsciously clenched his headset, gooseb.u.mps rising all over his body.


“Yes.” Nodding, the police officer sent a glance at the nearby hole and asked in a solemn voice, “Team Leader, should we head inside?”


“You cannot go in!” the middle-aged man hurriedly said. “n.o.body is allowed to enter! Retreat! Only leave behind the necessary manpower to keep watch over the hole. We’ll make further plans once we’re done with the interrogation.”


“Yes, sir.” The police officer immediately breathed out a sigh of relief upon hearing the middle-aged team leader’s words.


After the call got disconnected, Xiao Li hurriedly handed over a thick folder to the middle-aged team leader.


“Leader, we just received the targeted warehouse’s thermal photographs!”


Upon hearing this, the middle-aged team leader immediately accepted the folder and opened it. He then pulled out the photographs inside the folder and carefully observed them one after another.


“A dog? Where did the dog come from?”


“W-We don’t know, but it is indeed a dog according to the image a.n.a.lysis.” Stretching out his hand, Xiao Li pointed at another red blob in the photo and said, “This is the black agent’s head. He seems to be stuck in a hole in the ground.”


“…” After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged team leader flipped through a few more photos before he asked, “Are these two the only ones in the warehouse?”


“No.” Xiao Li shook his head. A hint of panic surfacing on his face, he continued, “According to the technical department’s a.n.a.lysis of the thermal photos, there should still be one more person in the warehouse. H-However, that person cannot be detected by thermal, radiographic, and electronic scans.”


Feeling a chill crawl down his spine, the middle-aged team leader asked, “H-How is that possible?”


“If not for the abnormal heat distribution in the thermal photos, we wouldn’t have discovered this person at all…” With a trembling voice, Xiao Li said, “Like a ghost…”



Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, the ghost in question, Little Peach, was currently squatting on the ground and staring at the black foreign agent’s head with curious eyes.


The special situation team was unable to catch her on their thermal cameras because she was a robot. With her skin simulation system, she could alter her skin temperature to match her surrounding temperature. Unless necessary, she would not actively raise her outer temperature.


As for the reason why X-rays and electronic scans did not work on her, it was because her skin simulation system also had a “mirror” function that prevented electromagnetic radiation or electronic pulses from damaging her internal components.


Hence, it was impossible to detect her form through a thick wall using ordinary means and technology through a thick wall.


“You… Who are you?!” the black man nervously asked as he stared at Little Peach.


“And who are you?” Little Peach asked back.


“Y-You first.”


Frowning, Little Peach picked up a small iron rod from the ground and poked it at the black man’s head. “Are you human? Why did you leave your head here?”


“Y-Y-You’re not human?” The black man’s expression turned horrified.


“You’re the one that doesn’t look human,” Little Peach said as she inserted the iron rod into the black man’s ear. “Is this a real ear?”


“D-Don’t put it in!”


“I’m just rubbing it at the entrance. I won’t hurt you.”


“Don’t! Ouch! Oh my G.o.d! It hurts, it hurts!”


“Wow! It’s bleeding!” Little Peach was surprised. “It’s a real ear!”


“Ah!” Gritting his teeth in pain, the black man cursed, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Let me go!”


“Wait a moment.”


Standing up, Little Peach pushed open the Interstellar Portal and retrieved a small hammer from Chen Yu’s bedroom. She then returned and squatted before the black man.


“W-What are you trying to do?!” the black man asked in fright.


“I want to see if your teeth are real.” After saying so, Little Peach knocked one of the black man’s front teeth with the hammer.


Ding!


Under the shock of intense ultrasonic waves, the struck tooth suddenly fell off. Immediately, the black man screamed in pain, “Ah!!”


“It’s real!” Little Peach widened her eyes in disbelief. “You’re a real human? How can you stay alive with just a head?”


Gulp.


Swallowing the blood that flowed out of his gums, the black man glared at Little Peach and said, “My body is stuck underneath! I’m not just a head! Who are you?! If you want to kill me, just do it!”


“I can’t kill people.”


“T-Then, let me go!”


“You must first tell me who you are.”


“I… I’m a water pipe worker, yes! I’m an underground water pipe worker!” Hurriedly hiding the killing intent in his eyes, the black man clumsily explained in Chinese, “I was repairing a pipe and accidentally dug in the wrong location. I apologize. Please let me go.”


“Oh?” In a suspicious tone, Little Peach asked, “Really?”


“Really!” While racking his brain for ideas, the black man repeatedly nodded and said, “I-Initially, I already felt that something was wrong when I saw the cement layer. After digging a hole and poking my head through it, I found that I had indeed dug in the wrong location. I’m sorry. I’ll compensate you for the damage.”


“Hand over the money,” Little Peach said as she stretched out her delicate hand.


The black man was momentarily stunned by Little Peach’s actions. In the next moment, however, he grew overjoyed as he said, “I have money! It’s in my pocket! I’ll fully compensate you for the damages once you help me back into the tunnel!”


“Really?” Little Peach’s eyes glowed in joy.


“Really! I promise! I swear!”


“Okay!”


Nodding excitedly, Little Peach stood up, raised her left foot, and aimed it at the black man’s head.


“Uh? W-Wait! When I said help, I didn’t-”


Boom!


“x_x…”


“You’re in!” Little Peach jumped up in joy when she saw the black man’s head disappearing into the hold. Afterward, she laid down by the tunnel’s entrance and looked through it, shouting, “h.e.l.lo? Pay up!”


Inside the tunnel: “…”


“What about the money?”


“…”


“Did you lie to me?!”


“…”


“I helped you! Why aren’t you paying up?” Little Peach gradually grew annoyed. “Hey! Did you run away?”


“…”


“You liar! Give me the money!!”


“…”


Meanwhile, after falling down the tunnel’s slope, the black man’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he laid motionless at the bottom of the tunnel…


“I knew it! You humans are so cunning!”


Boom!


Little Peach stomped her feet with all her strength in dissatisfaction, the impact shattering the concrete floor.


“Without compensation, how am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Chen?!” Little Peach pouted. She then pushed the surrounding bricks and cement blocks into the hole.


Afterward, she pushed her heavy slumber pod over the hole, thoroughly stoppering it.


“I definitely cannot let Mr. Chen find out about this. Otherwise, he’ll get angry and hurt his health.


“So, I am not lying. Ensuring that no harm comes to my owner’s health is completely reasonable and legal behavior. I am perfectly abiding by the three laws of robots.”


“Yes, that’s right…”



Inside the underground tunnel…


The shaking and trembling from above caused the black man to awoke with a start. Opening his eyes in a daze, the black man clutched his aching head and looked around with a blank face.


“Who am I?


“Where is this?


“What was I doing?”



By the time Chen Yu returned home from school, it was already seven in the evening.


As soon as he entered the house, his three little sisters immediately rushed him.


Chen Yike: “You’re too late!”


Chen Erke: “Dog!”


Chen Sanke: “You’re too late! Dog!”


Scratching his forehead, Chen Yu muttered, “Why do I feel like you’re cursing at me?”


“Big Brother! Dog!” Grabbing Chen Yu’s shirt, Chen Erke pulled him toward his bedroom while saying, “The doggy will starve to death.”


“I know, I know. I’ll open the door now. Stop pulling.”


Pulling out his key, Chen Yu looked around and asked, “Where’s mom?”


“Mommy went to attend some gathering. She’s not back yet. She told us to make dinner ourselves,” Chen Yike said anxiously. “We can use this chance to let Pikachu get some fresh air.”


Creak…


After unlocking and opening the door, Chen Yu walked into his room, grabbed the husky lying on the floor, and threw it to Chen Yike, saying, “Take it. Don’t disturb me.”


Bang!


After saying so, Chen Yu promptly slammed the wooden door shut and locked it.


“Mr. Chen, you’re back! Hehehe.” Canceling her invisibility, Little Peach put her arms behind her back and looked at Chen Yu with a bright smile.


“Mhm. We’re going to review Xiaomi’s smartphone tonight. Go get ready. Also, post a status update online in advance.”


“Understood! Hehe…”


“Hm?” Frowning, Chen Yu asked, “Why are you laughing so awkwardly?”


“I’m not!”


“Did you make trouble for me again?”


“Absolutely not!” Patting her chest, Little Peach declared, “I’m just delighted! Today, I sold another piece of software and made over 100,000 for you!”


“Over 100,000?” Chen Yu exclaimed. “Beautiful!”


“Yes! I’ll become more and more beautiful!”
