The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 540: Robots

Half a month had passed, and even if they crawled from the northeast, they should have arrived in Shanghai by now.

Not only did he buy plane tickets for them, but he also gave them 50,000 yuan. The most simple and effortless method was for them to take a car ride back to Shanghai.

Furthermore, the Messier 87 was watching over them… It was unlikely that something could have happened to them.

“Did something happen?” The empress turned to look at him.

When Ren Baqian explained this matter to the empress, she shook her head and said, “Each and every member of the winged cavalry is a specially selected elite. They will not die even if thrown into dangerous places. Furthermore, this is Earth!”

Although you are very confident, Your Majesty, your winged cavalry has already been whittled down from 1500 to 700…

This was the opinion of Ren Baqian, but he didn’t dare to voice it out loud.

“I am not worried that something happened to them, I am worried about what happened to other people,” Ren Baqian said. What he was most worried about was whether those three people were locked up in some secret place.

Even though an intelligent Earth Wheel expert wasn’t invincible in the city, they still could make other people tremble.

The key to the problem was the word, “intelligent.”

The aboriginals weren’t stupid, but their brain structure was very simple.

Compared to the people on Earth, they were like innocent lambs, except when it came to killing people. They were lax and being conned was a common thing.

The empress snapped her fingers. Like sword fingers, she rubbed her middle and index fingers with her thumb and produced an audible sound of swords swishing.

Ren Baqian looked in the direction that these fingers pointed and saw a hole appearing on the wall. Even a snap of her fingers was so awesome—the empress certainly lived up to her name…

“I will call the Messier 87 to see whether they know about their whereabouts?” Ren Baqian took out his phone to call Yang Sen.

“Mister Ren…” Yang Sen sighed when he received the call. Ever since he became the chief of the Messier 87, he had been sighing more often than before.

“What is it?” Ren Baqian felt that Yang Sen’s tone was different and wondered whether those two rascals were in some big trouble.

“Nothing much. Mister Ren, go ahead and speak,” Yang Sen said.

“It’s about my two subordinates that I left in the northeast. Do you know where they are?” Ren Baqian asked.

“Mister Ren, they are your subordinates. Why are you asking me? Can your tone be less harsh?” Yang Sen replied in relief. He wasn’t the one who suggested the actions of those three people.

Although he had already guessed from their irregular actions and the routes they took, he was certain after hearing from Ren Baqian and no longer needed to figure out whether there was something else behind their actions…

“In this territory, Chief Yang definitely knows more than me.” Ren Baqian laughed.

“I certainly know where they are. They are the distinguished guests of the three fatties from the neighbouring country!” Yang Sen said.

“Pfft!” Ren Baqian blurted out! His voice became shriller as he asked, “What? Those three fatties?”

Three fatties? The northeast region wasn’t too far from it, but how did those aboriginals end up there? How did they become their guests of honor?

What the hell happened during these six months when he was absent?

“How did they get there?” Ren Baqian asked in amazement.

“You’ll need to ask them. This is all we know. However, I need to tell you this, your two subordinates… During this period, they smashed up a bathhouse and a teahouse, destroyed a drug trafficking den and two prostitution dens, and ran through 13 red lights on horseback! They also injured seven policemen, six city officials, and two traffic police. Fortunately, no one died…” Yang Sen said softly.

Ren Baqian’s face darkened with each sentence from Yang Sen.

When Yang Sen finished speaking, Ren Baqian was speechless. As for running 13 traffic lights, where did they get the horses from?

As for destroying a drug den and two prostitution dens, what were they doing there? Ren Baqian had been living on Earth for so long and hadn’t even gone near such places.

“Well, can you help me to send a message? Tell them to come back here by hook or by crook!” Ren Baqian said sulkily. He wasn’t prepared to go to the northeast to get those two back. This matter could be handled more reliably by the Messier 87.

“I’ll do my best.”

“You must bring those two back and tell them that the big boss will skin them alive!” Ren Baqian continued.

“I didn’t say that! That’s not what I said!” the empress said indifferently.

“They have gone over the limit!” Ren Baqian didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

“Oh! If they are too much, just give them a few strokes of the cane!” the empress said.

Ren Baqian grinned. Did the empress know the word, “law” and what it meant?

Ren Baqian pondered and sighed.

Well, whatever you say is the law.

Ren Baqian sat on the sofa and stopped thinking about the problem concerning those two guys. Together with the empress, he joined in to play an online game, “King of Glory,” which they hadn’t played for some time.

However, half an hour later, a fellow player started complaining, “You two elder brothers, do I have enmity with you? Why do you keep contending against me? Why am I always on your team?”

Ren Baqian replied after a pause, “This is love! Love! Love!”

“Big brother, I am still a child! Your love is too heavy. It’s better spread your love equally to other players!” that guy wailed.

After tricking a few fellow players, the two were satisfied and signed off.

As the two watched television shows for a while, Ren Baqian saw an advertisement for an educational robot that caught his attention.

It reminded him that he had no time to teach those students of his. Letting them wander with the army for a few months wasn’t a solution. Giving them a robot and then answering their questions when he had the time would speed up their education.

After thinking about this, Ren Baqian took out his phone to search for information about robots and realized that Earth had made great progress in robotics over the last three years.

Modern human beings were becoming lazier and lazier, their expectations were getting higher and higher, and the huge demand had promoted the rapid development of robotics.

The robot shown in the advertisement was produced by a company that he had never heard of before.

He continued to search further and was surprised to find out that this company used to produce inflatable dolls.

This caused his eyes to almost pop out.

Initially, this company made inflatable dolls. Next, it produced “adult” robots. At present, even some overseas brothels were using these robots to satisfy some people, and the evaluation wasn’t bad.

Since last year, they formed a new company called Linkage Intelligence to produce educational robots, and their main product now was a home educational robot that was well received.

Whether it was speech recognition or verbal communication, it was rather logical.

Seeing this, Ren Baqian became interested in this company.

However, the products were just home educational robots and were far from what he wanted. Furthermore, they needed to connect to the internet.

The most basic requirement that Ren Baqian needed was a robot with its own databank.

This wasn’t really a problem because a product acceptable to society needed to be mass produced at a reasonable price with functions that suited the users.

It would certainly not be the most high-end product.

He needed to know whether this company had the capability to meet his requirements.

At this point, he made a phone call to that company.

Ren Baqian felt that being rich was a happy thing and that this was especially so on Earth. As long as the technology was available, money could solve most of the problems.

This was also the aim of the other party, and they were very interested to hear about his requirements.

Both sides talked for more than half an hour before finally arranging a personal appointment for Ren Baqian to visit their laboratory the next day.
