There was an "antique" computer on the table. In today's world where quantum computers were already running Earthbreaker, this heavy LCD screen desktop could be considered a product of the previous "era." It might not be able to play games with a keyboard and mouse, but it was more than enough to surf the internet.
Roddy registered an account on a website that did not require a mobile phone to authenticate. He then bought the cockpit of Earthbreaker with cash on delivery. After that, he taught Kardashian Pinyin and how to operate the computer. The latter's learning ability was comparable to that of an AI. After half an hour, Roddy did not need to say anything. Kardashian could operate the computer on her own.
Kardashian first glanced at the news website to understand the concept of "nine-year compulsory education." Then, she typed in "elementary school mathematics" and silently scrolled the mouse. After the two of them took turns to shower, she continued to sit in front of the computer and read seriously. Roddy glanced at it and realized that the content had changed to middle school physics. It was not appropriate for him to say something like "Let's hurry up and go to bed," so he went to sleep first.
However, when he woke up the next day, Roddy found that she was still sitting in front of the computer. Even her posture had not changed.
"Sister, you didn't sleep last night, did you?"
He sat up with sleepy eyes and found that Kardashian was reading advanced mathematics. He suddenly felt a little scared. What would such an existence with such a strong brain become after learning the knowledge of countless people in the modern world?
Although Kardashian was full of energy, her body was not as strong as when she was in the Dragons. At this time, there were dark circles under her eyes, but she could not stop studying. It was as if she had taken drugs. She replied without turning her head, "Why are you awake?"
After saying that, she glanced at the clock and realized that it was already six in the morning. Her movements were a little stiff as she rubbed her cheeks. It was obvious that she was very sleepy. Roddy thought that she was too embarrassed to sleep in the same bed with him, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up and sleep. Your body can't stand it."
She didn't think too much because she couldn't even lift her eyelids. Fortunately, she lay down on the bed next to her. Just as Roddy tucked her in, Kardashian suddenly said, "Roddy, are you willing to trust me?"
This question was out of the blue, but Roddy couldn't possibly have another answer. He said in a low voice, "Sister, of course I believe you. What happened?"
However, Kardashian did not respond. Roddy took a closer look and found that she had overused her brain. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Turning his gaze back to the browser that was still open, Roddy found that the "Advanced Mathematics" teaching page was still open. There were other high school and university courses in other subjects. Looking through the browsing history, Roddy was a little stunned when he saw the hundreds of PDF documents. In one night, did she learn almost all the basic science and technology courses in junior high and senior high school, and even freshman and sophomore year?
From this moment on, Roddy suddenly realized that his "space-time prison" this time had already caused something to go on the track of losing control.
He couldn't predict what the result would be, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't stop what he had to do. Rody did not think that he could hide here forever, so he did not dare to waste any more time. After having breakfast with the elderly couple, he used the excuse of losing his mobile phone and borrowed Uncle Zhang's mobile phone to register for Taobao. He also bought himself and Kardashian an authentication-free alternate account of "Earthbreaker".
After that, Roddy found an excuse to go to the canteen and buy a lot of snacks. The consequence of overusing his brain was that the body's calories were consumed quickly. Kardashian hid in the house and couldn't come out to eat. To prevent her from getting hungry, Roddy specially bought a lot of meat pies and other "hard stuff."
He came back and sat in front of the computer, trying to find clues, but his eyes unconsciously moved to Kardashian's face. Roddy vaguely felt that it wasn't a good idea to let her learn this systematically, but after thinking about it, this feeling mainly came from "fear." He didn't know if this Dragons would become unfamiliar to him.
After all, humans and Dragons were different. Their starting points were different, and the difference in intelligence was like heaven and earth. He was already past the age where he could learn the most. This could be seen from the fact that he spent so much effort learning magic. It was almost impossible for him to absorb knowledge like a sponge at any time like the Dragons. In the future, the gap between the two of them would only get bigger and bigger.
During the time in the Magic Tower and the "Prison of Time and Space", the two of them had similar strength, which made Roddy unconsciously ignore this gap. But now the fact suddenly made him come back to his senses. The gap produced "unfamiliarity," and "unfamiliarity" meant "alienation." Thinking of this, Roddy felt uncomfortable.
But he soon realized that the problem had nothing to do with Kardashian, but with himself.
"Phew —"
From entering the "Prison of Time and Space" until now, the two of them had been living together. Their days were no different from cohabiting boyfriend and girlfriend. Plus, after a few fights, the feelings that grew in the bottom of his heart were difficult to control. Although "time breeds affection," there was always "sharing weal and woe". But after sighing, Roddy also knew that he had to face reality: the two of them were not the same kind of people. It was fine to be friendly and cooperate, but crossing the line … would be troublesome.
"Fate, but not fate?"
Roddy looked at the law of entropy on the screen that he could not understand and unconsciously thought of this word.
But as soon as he said it, he realized that he had said something wrong. He turned his head to look at Kardashian and saw that she was still sleeping soundly. Only then did he relax. But when he got up to leave, he did not notice that Kardashian's eyelashes moved slightly, and the hands hidden under the quilt were slowly clenched …
*****
At the same time, the Changping Public Security Bureau set up a special task force to investigate the serious injury that occurred in the Thirteen Tombs Reservoir area.
The situation was a little strange. The police rushed to help the "victim" investigate the assailant, but the group of hooligans wrapped in bandages did not seem to be enthusiastic about providing clues. They hemmed and hawed and did not give any details, which brought great difficulty to the investigation.
When such news was reported to the "big boss," Wang Baogang, the bald man in his fifties, was naturally furious. Wang Baogang was the chairman of "Jin Mao Entertainment Film and Television Company," but in private, he also had a lot of shares in the gray industry chain in various fields. But as a gangster in his early years, his temperament was naturally not as good as those overseas returnees who came from a decent background.
"Who the f * ck asked you to call the police? Is your brain filled with sh * t?! Are you tired of living? "
At this time, he was in the office scolding his subordinate on the 3D monitor. The bracelet in his hand was thrown aside, and the 3D projection of the teacup hit the wall with a "clang". He was so angry not just because his subordinate messed up. In fact, with his reputation, if it was just a case of filing a case at the police station, it could be settled with a phone call. However, this "special task force" was suddenly set up and a deputy supervisor was sent. This was not something he could intervene in.
There seemed to be an invisible net slowly opening behind him. Although he was not the target, he was also caught in it …
Wang Baogang did not go to school for many years, but he was very sensitive to official matters. After he finished scolding his subordinate, he had to think about the wording. Then, he picked up a quantum encrypted line and dialed an overseas number.
The first person who picked up the phone was the secretariat. After confirming his identity and reporting the matter, the call was transferred to another line. After that, the 3D screen no longer showed the image of the person on the other side. Only a slightly cold male voice could be heard after the call was connected, "I saw the report."
"Sir, this is really a bit strange, I …"
Wang Baogang's forehead was sweating profusely. There was no one in front of him, but he stood up and bowed to talk. The quantum phone did not have the delay of the satellite phone, so he had the opportunity to quickly explain the incident. The person on the other side paused and continued, "I got it. Stop tracking."
"Sir, I —"
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
The phone was cut off, and Wang Baogang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the chair and panted for a long time. It was very stressful to deal with this "boss" who was in England but could speak fluent Chinese. Great wealth and great danger were often decided in a few words. However, the other side was also a person of his word. If he said "it has nothing to do with", the other side would not pay attention to this in the future. However, he was actually very curious. Why would such a mysterious but powerful person care about a civilian like Roddy?
But Wang Baogang knew that these thoughts could only rot in his stomach.
In an office thousands of miles away, the middle-aged man known as "Sir" slowly stood up from a high-tech office chair made of fiber materials.
The decoration here was a condensation of the most advanced technology on Earth. The development of quantum computers made artificial intelligence a reality. The mechanical face projected on the wall was the "first" secretary of "Sir" here. The thin "Sir" wore a custom-made suit and held a black cane made of unknown material in his right hand. He was handsome and in his fifties, but he looked like he was in his forties. It was the age when men were full of charm.
The "Sir" behaved like an old-fashioned aristocrat — but everyone knew that his "Sir" had been bestowed by the Queen ten years ago on the grounds of outstanding service to the United Kingdom. Although it was not the kind of title that could be bought with money, it was still incomparable to those old families that had been passed down for hundreds of years. However, his actual social status was simply incomparable to those old nobles.
"The target has been disturbed. Now give up physical search. Instead, monitor inside the server. Once you log in or have a keyword prompt, immediately lock down. "
"Recorded, Sir. The data monitoring department will immediately carry out your orders."
"Arrange a plane to the Imperial Capital."
"Sir, do we need to inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the grounds of a 'business visit'?"
"No need. Send a letter over there. This is just a private operation."
"Okay, Sir."
When the emotionless AI electronic voice sounded, "Sir" had already walked out of the office. The skywalk composed of display glass was the most distinctive feature of this base. If one was a little further away, one could see rows of huge server matrices with a very sci-fi style. These were only the devices that carried out heat dissipation and energy conversion for the quantum server. In the center of the base was a hemispherical all-glass building that covered an area of more than 3,000 square meters. It was the world's first and only commercial quantum computer used for game data processing.
