Chapter 727: Unless...
Dr. Feng’s daily routine did not change much aside from the addition of Luan in between his busy schedule.
But instead of complaining, he was very interested in tackling the problem in front of him. Luan’s presence was akin to a breath of fresh air in his monotone life, sparking a fighting spirit within him which he thought had long been doused by years of constant work around the clock.
Luan kept to his words. He mainly stayed in the corner of the room, gazing out at the distance with a wistful look on his face. Sometimes, when Dr. Feng was too immersed in his work, he would sneak a few glances without letting the other party know.
Within a short few days, he merged perfectly into the environment of Dr. Feng’s office and was taken as a new ornament by the other researchers.
Everyone thought that the Head Administrator was working on a new system update, and when they saw Luan’s sophisticated virtual body in his office, they all praised him to the Ninth Heaven, "Head Administrator’s skill has gone up a notch again! Look at this appearance, it’s so vivid and life-like! So beautiful! Perfect!"
Each time, Dr. Feng could only reply with a dry ’haha’, but his desire to know where Luan came from blazed even stronger.
After a few days, he managed to set a few hours aside in his tight schedule to finally tinker with the new ornament in his office. He did not even waste a single second and gestured for Luan to come close. "Come, we have a deal to fulfill."
Amused at the man’s excited appearance, Luan hid a smile and obediently complied, standing where the man ordered him to. When Dr. Feng came close, he lowered his lashes and gazed quietly at his face, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Utterly oblivious, Dr. Feng was absorbed in connecting his processor to Luan’s body, itching to dissect him bit by bit. However, he had to do it very, very carefully as he had promised Luan not to mess with his basic configuration. For such a sophisticated virtual character like Luan, his main source code ought to be complex with layers of stringent security. Dr. Feng had foreseen long hours of working on it, but he did not mind at all. As long as he could satisfy this surging curiosity, he was willing to put in time and effort – even if it would take him months to solve it.
