Chapter 76
Chapter 75
The slanting light of the setting sun fell on the children, and Xiao Mei’s voices became more and more joyful, echoing in the quiet room.
Pei Qingyuan thought, he seemed to have seen this scene somewhere.
The clouds floating outside the window, the clean light at dusk, and the small back.
A dream that was about to be forgotten suddenly came to mind.
Even though they were in different rooms, different colors, and even different shapes, he seemed to see the intersection of two worlds. The backs of the strange boy and the familiar child overlapped unknowingly.
Pei Qingyuan actually didn’t know why he set those two fixed responses for the jelly bean robot.
An impulse that sank into the depths of his subconscious prompted him to make this decision.
He guessed it was inspired by his fairy-tale dreams.
If he dreams of that strange boy again next time, he must write down all the details of the dream as soon as he wakes up, instead of just retaining a vague impression.
Pei Qingyuan secretly made up his mind, and remembered a question that had never been answered.
Why does he dream of this back figure that he has never seen in reality again and again?
He thought for a long time, and finally felt that maybe it was his imagination of Ji Tong who was about to grow up.
He doesn’t know what it’s like to be an artificial intelligence, but during the Chinese New Year with Ji Tong, Fang Hao and Fu Yinyin, it can be seen that they like the excitement and celebration that belong to the human world.
The back side of liking excitement is fear of loneliness.
Even though many details have gradually been forgotten, Pei Qingyuan still clearly remembers that in his dream there was the loneliest and palest room he had ever seen so far. The reality is so close, yet so far away.
Is that his brain’s imagination of the daily situation of these AI systems?
Pei Qingyuan couldn’t be sure.
But he began to look forward to the next time he entered this dream.
When this task is completely completed and he can receive the reward, he will meet the boy Ji Tong who appears in a brand new appearance.
On that day, will the teenager in his dream turn around and have the same face?
In Pei Qingyuan’s drifting thoughts, Ji Tong beside him first looked back at him.
His eyes are always bright, like the stars that often shine in the night, always filled with innocent joy.
But at this moment, Pei Qingyuan saw the crystal water in his eyes, quietly soaking the stars shining in the dark brown eyes, and the reflection of himself close at hand was flowing in the stars.
Ji Tong rubbed his eyes casually, and the watery light disappeared, as if he just yawned with tears.
“I’m very happy, thank you host.” He said happily, “I was very envious of Aunt Shi before, Professor Xiao designed Xiaoming for her, but now, I have Xiaomei made by the host himself.”
Ji Tong shook his head, and said with emotion in a strange tone: “I turned out to be an artificial intelligence with an artificial intelligence assistant.”
Pei Qingyuan was amused by his tone: “Well, you are Xiaomei’s master.”
This is a robot designed by Ji Tong, and it is also named by Ji Tong. He originally wanted to give it to Ji Tong as a gift.
He has Ji Tong’s company, he has teachers and friends like other ordinary people, and he also has a major that he wants to fight for in the future.
Compared with him who is free, Ji Tong, who came here entirely to help him grow up, may need a little beauty more.
Ji Tong carefully wiped the host’s workbench with a paper towel, tiptoed and carefully put Xiaomei on it, letting it bathe in the pale golden light of the setting sun, looked at it for a long time, and then turned to look at him with a smile .
“Ruan Ruan, shall we go out for dinner?”
“good.”
“what to eat?”
“What do you want to eat?”
Ji Tong wants to eat anything.
So during the 20 days of waiting for the score, Ji Tong took the host to eat a free buffet for children under 1.2 meters several times, taking advantage of the advantage of the cubs.
Pei Qingyuan learns to drive during the day and eats buffet at night. This is the longest and free holiday in his life, which is extremely fulfilling.
physical fulfillment.
He learned to drive very quickly, and he basically got started right away. The theoretical knowledge is almost unforgettable. The amazed coach immediately made an appointment for the test for him, hoping that he could pass all the subjects as quickly as possible and get a driver’s license.
When Pei Qingyuan is practicing the car, Ji Tong will become a small porcelain cat ornament to accompany him. The ornament is made in the shape of a cat mushroom. On the back is a black heart with a pleasant smile. His head and paws will follow the movement of the car. Move forward and flick.
The coach was not surprised when he saw this car decoration that he would bring every time he came. He thought it was for relieving tension. He had seen all kinds of magical items from many students.
But a tall boy with a ceramic cat always makes people feel weird and cute.
“This cat ornament is quite cute. Is it a lucky cat?” The coach poked the cat’s paw with a thoughtful expression on his face. “You learned how to drive so fast, is it also related to the good luck you got? Where did you buy it? I also wonder.” buy one.”
After he asked, the ceramic cat’s paws shook even more vigorously.
Pei Qingyuan: …
Ji Tong clearly came to help him increase the difficulty.
If he can resist looking at this cute cat who is always shaking his head and paws in front of the windshield, he will probably not be distracted by anything when he officially hits the road in the future.
Moreover, it is not an ordinary beckoning cat.
Pei Qingyuan observed carefully, “No. 1 Scholar” was inconspicuously written on the cat’s left paw, “100 million” was written on the right paw, and “I will do” was written on the back of the ear.
As soon as he drove, the warm-colored head and paws of the cat ornament would shake like a small windmill, occasionally falling into his eyes, and would quickly form a reflexive and precise association of “the top 100 million must go”.
This is a practice cat with Ji Tong’s characteristics.
In the swaying and calling of the cat, the day of scoring has arrived.
Pei Qingyuan, who has a system, knows his college entrance examination ranking one step ahead of everyone else.
As soon as Ji Tong saw the flashing green light on the task panel, he immediately reported to the host excitedly: “Ruan Ruan, the task panel is on!”
The panel lights up to indicate that the task has progressed.
The interview has not yet started, so what this progress means is self-evident.
He really did.
In the first second when the scoring system was opened, Ji Tong couldn’t wait to access the information and quickly read the data in the system.
142 points in Chinese, 150 points in mathematics, 149 points in English, and 296 points in comprehensive science.
The total score is 737 points.
Ji Tong happily circled around him, walking up and down non-stop, trying to calm down his inner excitement: “737 points, so high!”
He couldn’t help but count with his fingers: “It would be great if there were Olympiad bonus points this year. If we add 20 points, it will be 757 points, which is higher than the full score. I think this top-of-the-table score alone can achieve The amount of 100 million…”
Pei Qingyuan quietly looked at the screen showing the score, Ren Jitong chattered happily in his ear, and in a dream come true, his cell phone began to ring one after another.
The first one to call in was the class teacher Zhou Fang.
As soon as she got connected, her voice, which was almost a little hoarse with excitement, came out enthusiastically: “Xiao Pei, you are the number one student in the college entrance examination!”
“It’s not just our city’s top scorer, it’s our province’s top scorer! No, I dare say, in the whole country, this will be the highest naked score this year.”
The originally noisy air on the other end of the phone quieted down after these words, and Zhou Fang’s tone even choked with sobs.
He seems to have overachieved.
In the glare of the afternoon sun, all the scenery in front of me was so vividly and clearly engraved in my eyes.
Seeing Ji Tong stop walking back and forth, Pei Qingyuan widened his eyes slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth, showing him a pure and bright smile.
“The host is really powerful.”
He heard an earnest, golden voice.
There will be more voices full of admiration in the future.
All the classmates and friends Pei Qingyuan knew expressed congratulations to him in different ways. Professor Xiao called, Pei Huaishan called, and even Luo Xiuyun, who was afraid to call directly, sent a long text message.
The admissions teachers from several top prestigious schools in the city who had already been waiting for the number one prize arrived at the downstairs of Pei Qingyuan’s house two hours after the score was awarded, and Zhou Fang, who was full of spring, took him upstairs. The position of parents, to help their students as a staff member.
Among them, the teachers from the Admissions Office of Jiangyuan University were in the most wonderful mood.
“This is the fourth time we’ve seen this name.”
The teacher looked at the colleague next to him with emotion.
“Yeah, the first time I was on the recommended recommendation list from Chengde Private High School, the second time I was cancelled, the third time I was asked by Professor Xiao, and then I was recommended by the No. 2 Middle School and passed smoothly. take an exam.”
The colleague carefully recalled what happened every time he heard this name in the past, and finally stopped at a long sigh with mixed flavors.
“The fourth time is to become the champion of the provincial college entrance examination.”
A big red banner was quickly hung up at the gate of No. 2 Middle School to celebrate the birth of the first city champion and provincial champion in this school. After other teachers and students heard the great news, they also followed You Rongyan and happily told people they knew .
Because this time not only Pei Qingyuan scored the remarkable high score, but also many students from the No. The No. 2 Middle School deserves its name. Quite a few parents of junior high schools who are concerned about the teaching level of high schools are discussing this high school that has suddenly made great efforts this year.
The school leaders soon announced that they would give a high scholarship to the provincial champion who had brought infinite glory to the school, and several famous schools vying for the champion rushed to promise various advantages.
People around were talking about these rewards and auras with relish, and the local media also contacted this freshly-baked provincial champion, wanting to arrange an interview.
Pei Qingyuan agreed in a normal tone.
He has been waiting for this interview for a long time.
From the day he knew about this task, Pei Qingyuan has been thinking about a question.
What kind of things do people like to spread?
After reading many professional books on communication and psychology, and studying many cases that became popular overnight on the Internet in recent years, Pei Qingyuan came to his own conclusion.
In the ordinary life that follows the rules most of the time, novelty and contrasting things attract people’s attention the most.
At the same time, this new thing that breaks the conventional understanding must be discovered by their own keen eyesight, rather than being deliberately stuffed into the field of vision.
As the pioneers who discovered the mysterious treasure, they will instinctively have the urge to spread it.
This conclusion applies to ordinary netizens who have never met each other across the Internet, and it also applies to the reporter who is about to talk face-to-face.
Therefore, Pei Qingyuan’s preparation for the second half of the task is to do nothing specially.
One of the most special and strange things he has ever seen is the day he is experiencing right now.
——After Ji Tong appeared, the days were quietly reshaped by countless fragments.
When Li Yayi and her partner carrying the camera walked out of the elevator, they had already drawn up the framework and draft of this report in their hearts.
It is certainly worth reporting that a provincial number one scholar with a rare high score came out in the city, but most of the people who will pay attention to this report are silent middle school students and parents, so it is difficult to cause a sensational effect that can jump out of the circle.
Moreover, all the reports on the number one scholar in the college entrance examination are similar, nothing more than focusing on the hero’s talent and hard work, talking about the ups and downs or help brought about by his or her family environment, and then writing about hobbies, the focus is to emphasize his or her How amazing her score is in the history of this city, either the highest naked score, the highest total score, or the perfect score in some single subjects, and so on.
Li Yayi thought of the colleague in the next door team who had robbed an unbelievable and bizarre case, and her eyes showed envy.
She also wants to do such topical news.
Before the visit, Li Yayi did some preliminary research on the No. 2 Middle School forums and social networking sites. She knew that the provincial number one scholar was very powerful in the eyes of her classmates, and she was also very handsome.
It’s a pity that the number one scholar is very powerful is completely nonsense. The outstanding appearance cannot be the focus of the report.
In short, this will probably be another ordinary press release whose name is hidden and mixed into other top scholar reports, with a high probability of being indistinguishable.
Thinking of this, Li Yayi couldn’t help sighing.
After finding the door of the provincial champion’s house according to the address, she restrained her thoughts, tidied up her demeanor, and knocked on the door lightly after getting ready.
In any case, do the interview at hand first.
When the door opened, even though she had expected it, Li Yayi still felt a bright light in her eyes.
The quasi-college student in front of him lost his greenness and was much taller than her, with a handsome appearance, but there was no expression on his face, showing a sense of alienation and coldness.
The provincial champion is also the champion in terms of appearance.
Aloofness is a very common attribute among academic masters and gods, Li Yayi thought.
Despite the cold demeanor, the other party’s tone was quite polite: “Please come in, here are the slippers.”
Li Yayi and his camera colleagues followed him into the room, and took a rough look around the surrounding environment. The bedroom door was closed, and the living room was furnished very warmly, with cute little ornaments scattered everywhere, making people feel happy just looking at it.
The house was quiet, as if no one else was there, Li Yayi asked curiously, “Where are your parents?”
Pei Qingyuan said calmly: “They’re not at home.”
Li Yayi was a little surprised. At this moment, the colleague who was carrying the camera touched her elbow. She followed her and suddenly laughed.
Why is there such a weird Spring Festival couplet pasted on the kitchen door?
It doesn’t match up with this rather cold-looking **** of learning.
Li Yayi thinks this Spring Festival couplet is very interesting, but it is a pity that it belongs to the privacy of life that has nothing to do with grades, so it is not convenient to shoot.
However, combined with the overly cute arrangements at home, does this mean that the number one scholar in front of him will have an unknown side? For example, the surface is cold and the actual sand sculpture?
After a brief communication with Pei Qingyuan, Li Yayi took out her notebook and signaled her colleagues to turn it on and get ready to start working.
Originally, she only wanted to do a text interview with photos, but now, she thinks she can leave a preparatory video material.
With renewed hope, Li Yayi started this interview.
“Student Pei, you set a record for our city’s college entrance examination score,” she said with a smile, “Can you tell me about your current mood?”
Classmate Pei said lightly: “I’m very happy.”
Li Yayi nodded, waiting for him to continue, but the air seemed to freeze, and there was no sound.
Li Yayi didn’t realize that the interviewee had finished answering the question until the interviewee gave her a slightly surprised look.
“Cough, then, is it convenient to disclose which college you finally chose?”
“Jiangyuan University.”
“I heard that you obtained the recommendation qualification of Jiangyuan University before the college entrance examination. I thought you continued to take the college entrance examination because you wanted to choose other prestigious schools. Can you tell me why you still chose Jiangyuan?”
“This is the most suitable place.”
“Which aspects are suitable?”
“all.”
“…So that’s the case, why don’t we talk about some light topics first, besides studying, what else do you do?”
“Play basketball and read books.”
“It’s really necessary to combine work and rest. What kind of books will Pei read?”
“a lot of.”
“…”
After several rounds, Li Yayi finally recognized a cruel fact.
Without the cold face joker she imagined, without the other side she thought, this provincial number one scholar is just as cold and uncommunicative as he looks.
She looked around at the surrounding furnishings again, and she always felt that this should not be the case.
The cold, expressionless boy lives in a warm and lovely home all day long, and he doesn’t seem to feel anything unusual.
This ubiquitous sense of contradiction thoroughly stimulated her curiosity.
With the keen intuition of a journalist, Li Yayi felt that she must have overlooked something.
The photography colleague also felt the same way. During the break time when Li Yayi tried to organize his thoughts after calling a stop, he looked at the living room with extra serious eyes.
When his eyes swept over the workbench that looked like a desk, he suddenly let out a snort.
In the corner of the workbench is a toy with a unique appearance. Judging by the shape of its limbs, it may be a robot, or a toy imitating a robot.
Because there are too many decorations in this room, they ignored this corner just now.
The things on the desk are obviously very important to the students.
“Is that a model?” Reminded by her colleagues, Li Yayi inexplicably felt that this would be a breakthrough point, and immediately asked Pei Qingyuan, “Can I take a closer look?”
After getting the other party’s nod and acquiesce, the two walked towards this peculiar desk together.
Carrying the video camera that was still recording, the photography colleague asked Li Yayi beside her in a low voice: “What do you think this is?”
Li Yayi was also very curious, but before she could speak, a strange toy with a pair of long mechanical legs suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, and then a mechanical female voice sounded, politely said: “Hi, are you calling me?”
The two were caught off guard by the question, their faces showed panic, and they took a big step back in unison. .
