Chapter 661: How Do You—
Lu Yizhou had no idea why his heart skipped a beat when he heard Dr. Feng say that. Anticipation, thrill and a hint of anxiety swelled in his heart in equal measure. Not only that, he even felt mildly nauseous.
Suppressing the turbulent emotions, he trailed behind the other, entered the building and was immediately greeted by a lively voice of a female receptionist. "Good morning. May I help—" Her eyes rounded in shock when they landed on Lu Yizhou, it was as if she had seen a ghost. Then she shot a few meaningful glances at Dr. Feng, obviously flabbergasted at the blonde-haired young man’s abrupt appearance.
"It’s okay," Dr. Feng waved his hand in dismissal. "It’s me who decided to bring him here."
Lu Yizhou shot him a speechless look. What did he mean by that? Was the female receptionist under some sort of preconception that Lu Yizhou was the one who threatened Dr. Feng to bring him here?
"Oh!" The woman heaved an obvious sigh of relief and proceeded to offer Lu Yizhou a big smile. "I have heard a lot about you, Mr. Lu. Welcome to our research institute! Here, we are focused on– oh, well, you will be able to hear it soon from Dr. Feng himself..." She intended to explain their scope of jobs to Lu Yizhou only to catch a glimpse of Dr. Feng’s obvious displeasure. Almost immediately, she clamped her mouth shut and her entire person wilted like a wet radish.
Dr. Feng did not linger for long in the lobby. He raised the terminal on his wrist — a new one, Lu Yizhou noticed — and brought it to the scanner beside the elevator. Immediately afterward, a familiar mechanical voice sounded.
[Current time 7.18 am. Welcome back, Admin God, to the research institute. The documents you asked for have been sent to your terminal. Please check it and tell me if there is any problem.]
Lu Yizhou’s eyes widened and for a brief second, he thought he had returned to the simulator. It was the exact same emotionless voice as the one who had always reported the completion of each mission to him!
"Okay, thank you," Dr. Feng replied lightly. He turned to see Lu Yizhou’s stunned look, then decided to explain out of goodwill. "The whole building’s security is based on AI created by me. If it doesn’t recognize you, then the alarm in the whole building will be turned on at once. I am sure you know this voice very well already. This is the same main system as the simulator."
