Chapter 597: Chapter 187: Testing the Waters in the Open World! - Part 2

Ke Jin couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

"Perhaps your East Intelligence Group’s AI is quite impressive, but as the last line of defense guarding humanity’s sanctuary, I can only say that you at East Intelligence still need to practice."

After pondering for a moment, Ke Jin asked again.

"Brother Tong Zi, do you know the answer to this question?"

The system had no response, as if it didn’t want to bother with Ke Jin at all.

"Brother Tong Zi, it can’t be that you can’t answer a question that Zhizi barely managed, can it? That can’t be, that can’t be right."

[According to the Super Search Function, by integrating and simulating human cognitive maps, the conclusion is —— discharge from the hospital.]

Ke Jin: "???"

Damn it, Brother Tong Zi!

Even a super intelligence knows about being discharged.

But then again.

Brother Tong Zi usually ignores me unless it’s about mission-related matters.

Why is it that today, upon seeing an AI sister, you just can’t hold back?

Just because I mentioned you’re not on par with the sister, you get all worked up?

Unrequited love, is that it?

While Ke Jin was amusing himself, Zhou Weiyi had already come downstairs, wearing a crisply tailored suit, and was striding towards the lobby.

Since East Intelligence Technology’s core technology is extremely valuable globally,

the entire building is under strict control, with access on each floor requiring corresponding facial key authentication.

Not to mention Ke Jin, even if the CEO of Tengjing came, a high-level executive from the designated floor would have to come down to receive him, otherwise, he’d just have to wait in the lobby.

In the whole company, aside from Mr. Yuan Wencheng, the chairman who possesses all access rights,

the only one who can enter any floor of the company through facial recognition is the sole heiress of East Intelligence Group.

Of course, even being the heiress of East Intelligence only granted her entry rights to various floors of the group.

She still couldn’t access departments dealing with core technology with her authority level, and in some cases, her weight was not even comparable to veteran technical backbones like Zhou Weiyi.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I just had to deal with an urgent matter," Zhou Weiyi said as he approached with a brisk, meteoric gait, shaking hands with Ke Jin and patting him on the shoulder with a smile: "You dashing young man, you’ve gotten more handsome in just a few months."

"By the way, I saw you communicating with Zhizi when I came downstairs. How was your experience with our East Intelligence Group’s humanoid receptionist?" Zhou Weiyi asked.

"Needs practice," Ke Jin replied.

Zhou Weiyi: "??"

He looked at Ke Jin in surprise, only to find that the latter’s expression showed no sign of surprise.

He immediately began to mull over it in his mind.

No, wait.

Our East Intelligence’s Zhizi 1.0 series is equipped with the seventh version of the core processing chips from East Intelligence GPT, capable of loading questions with extremely fast response times.

The accuracy of answering questions is as high as 99%.

As long as the relevant instructions are input, she can freely combine and provide multiple optimal solutions.

To speak without exaggeration, she could act as a personal nanny, resolving an entire day’s food and travel plans without any problems.

There are only two of them in the whole of East Intelligence right now.

One is placed at the main entrance for show.

The other is at Mr. Yuan’s home, serving as a super housekeeper.

Every visitor to East Intelligence, including some high-tech tycoons from developed countries, has been amazed upon meeting Zhizi, all expressing their astonishment.

You brat, what kind of grand scenes have you seen to say something like ’needs practice’...

But then, it’s just as they say, the calf does not fear the tiger when it’s new.

Zhou Weiyi didn’t mind it.

The interlude was quickly turned over, and under Zhou Weiyi’s guidance, Ke Jin entered his open-plan design office.

The office had no doors, just a short corridor for transitioning.

Employees could walk in and out directly.

In Zhou Weiyi’s own words,

as the person in charge of overseeing the cutting-edge technology at East Intelligence, having a door here would actually erect a barrier between the employees and the general manager.

Allowing employees to see at any time what their boss is up to, to be aware that the boss is diligently exploring new horizons with them, rather than hiding behind a door flirting with secretaries or playing indoor golf.

Setting an example is very important.

After a bit more small talk, Ke Jin revealed his purpose for the visit.

He expressed his desire to further collaborate with East Intelligence.

And he proposed the idea of an ’open-concept game theme park.’

Taking Disney Shanghai’s Pirates of the Caribbean ship as an example, he inquired if East Intelligence could create a similar holographic game park for top-tier players.

This almost caused Zhou Weiyi, who was sipping tea, to spray it out.

"You’re all brains, kid, but do you have any idea how much that would cost... Let’s just take the Disney example you mentioned. We at East Intelligence were also involved in part of that Pirates of the Caribbean project. The entire project cost about 5 to 6 billion to create."

"If you want to build an entire amusement park like that, you’re looking at a starting investment of a hundred billion."

A hundred billion-yuan order project isn’t something trivial for East Intelligence; it’s a major formal collaboration.

At that point, with so many eyes watching, East Intelligence wouldn’t be able to greenlight it for a top player just on the heiress’s personal favor, like we did with the SW production line.

You should know that for SW, both the first-ranked player and East Intelligence are losing money.

It’s a case where the machinery doesn’t make any profit, and the top player earns a reputation among gamers and subsequent card sales.

East Intelligence earns a favor and a ticket for angel investing in the gaming industry.

It’s like betting that the top player won’t turn ungrateful in the future.

However, when creating SW, the top player wasn’t saying they wouldn’t pay.
