The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao had just told Mary that he is waiting for someone when the intercom in the office rang. The boy clicked the button and put it on speaker. Debbie spoke from the other side, "Young Master, a lady is here to see you. Her name is Kylie Dew, she is a professor at the National University."

Yang Dao replied, "Send her up, please. Thank you."

Debbie replied, "Right away, sir." and then the call disconnected. Yang Dao raised his head and said to Yurika, "Get the research team report to me after lunch. I have things to discuss with them."

Yurika nodded. Mary said, "We will go and handle our own work."

Yang Dao said, "Wait, I intend to hire this person in the research group. We need a computer freak in the future and she can fulfill that. You guys stay here and that will help make decisions. Consider it as a surprise interview."

The three were talking when the door of the room was knocked. Yang Dao said, "Come in." and the door was pushed in from outside. Yang Dao smiled and greeted the lady coming inside, "Long time no see, Professor."

Kylie Dew bloomed in a smile. She wore a professional dress. The reason was that she had a lecture to attend at the university after this meeting. She replied, "I am good, how have you been. You totally vanished after the award ceremony. Also, it was too one-sided, a few people in the rival colleges claimed they will beat you next year."

Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Who knows. Also, my notebook?"

Kylie Dew came forward and she placed her bag at the top of the table and took out Yang Dao's laptop notebook from it. She said, "RALF has been uploaded in it" she also took out the charger from the bag as she spoke.

Yang Dao said, "Thank you. Also, Professor, would you like to join the Dao Technologies as a presiding computer research advisor?"

Kylie Dew did not even think twice and said, "Nope. You have the help that you need. I will not be joining. Yes, if you need any help. You can tell me. I can help you recruit some good technicians if you need."

Yang Dao glanced at Mary, who nodded faintly. The former smiled and said, "We will be needing such people in the future. I will trouble you then."

Kylie nodded with a smile. She did not seem to be as affectionate with Yang Dao as she was a few months ago. Yang Dao was relieved and said, "I will show you all something. Come along."

With that said he held the laptop in his handstand walked out of the cabin. Kylie Dew was aware of what Yang Dao will be showing them so she followed quickly. Mary and Turika also became curious and they both followed as well.

They did not know what the boy had in his mind but they knew that he was not a person who would waste their time. They came to the elevator and descended one floor. The eleventh floor was the place where they had the lab set up for research.

Yang Dao and the other came to the general area where Frieda was staring at the computer screen. The boy said, "Senior, good morning."

The girl turned her head around and saw the person she wanted to see the most. She did not even reply to his greeting and said, "You came, finally. Please look at this code, I cannot find the flaws."

Yang Dao gave her a wry smile and said, "You are rushing things again, Senior. Did you forget what I told you the last time."

The girl replied with a sigh and said, "I remember but I cannot help but get paranoid."

Yang Dao shook his head and walked over to the computer. He placed his laptop next to it and connected it with the CPU of the computer. He switched the laptop on and when the black screen appeared. He said, "RALF, are you there?"

Everyone was confused when a bomb exploded in their minds. The laptop speakers echoed with a voice, "Yes, administrator."

Kylie Dew has been watching over the system growth but she had never talked to it. At this moment she heard the voice and was stunned. This was brilliance. The response time was instant. This response time itself was the indicator of the brilliance of this AI.

Frieda was frozen in her chair and was looking at the laptop with wide eyes. Mary asked, "Dao, what is it?"

Yang Dao smiled and said, "RALF, introduce yourself."

An artificial voice sounded, "Yes, Administrator. Hello, I am RALF. I am an artificial intelligence program created by Yang Dao, the administrator. My processing speed is 8.42938 GHz. The speed is upgradeable with the advancement of the equipment..."

RALF went on for a few minutes before he finished wrapping up the stuff about himself. Yang Dao said, "RALF, I have connected you to a computing unit. Can you help me debug the code displayed on the screen?"

RALF replied, "Certainly, Sir." and the computer screen started to move. The codes that had any flaws were debugged. RALF spoke up again, "Sir, do I have the permission to optimize the program?"

Yang Dao said, "Yes."

He paused and continued, "Inside this mainframe, there are schematics of a prototype robot. Your second task is to optimize all those schematics and use the equipment inside the lab to remotely create a robot. Can you do that?"

RALF replied, "Certainly, Sir." and the computer screen started to flash quickly.

Yang Dao said, "Senior Freida, we can now have a Humanoid Robo, produced just like you wished. How about it? You design the body and I designed the mind." calmly.

Frieda was excited and her face was flushed. She stood up and hugged Yang Dai tightly. She did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. Yurika and Mary smiled at each other. They have become good friends with Frieda Foster and knew that this girl was very driven to complete her dream project.

Yang Dao was stunned by the hug but he sensed that the lady meant nothing more than thank him. he said, "It's okay. We are all friends. RALF will help us a lot in the future."

Frieda nodded as she broke the embrace. Then she sat down in front of the computer again. Yang Dao shook his head and said, "What happened here, stays here. I don't wish to see any word out of this place."

The people immediately calmed down. They all knew the significance of this development. Treasure and trouble go hand in hand.
