Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 665 - 667: The Little Witch

He came to his office to deal with various documents sent by Li Qingya. Xinghai Holding Company now possessed stakes in many companies, and there were a lot of issues that needed his attention.

About half an hour later, he finished handling those documents and then asked Xiaoxing to transmit the surveillance room’s camera feed to him.

His computer screen showed the Xinghai Cargo Ship that was in transit.

The Xinghai Cargo Ship was equipped with wireless advanced intelligent surveillance probes, connected to the Star Domain Network, and with a switch of view, Qin Hao could see inside the cockpit.

The crew members were sitting there chatting; this voyage was much more relaxed than before. They only needed to glance at the monitors occasionally; as long as there weren’t any problems, they didn’t have to do much.

Qin Hao spoke up, "You guys go open that red container on the deck. Inside are the company’s smart robots that can do a lot of work once we reach the destination."

After all, there was no port there yet. According to Qin Hao’s plan, the cargo ship could only stop outside the beach of Pu’er Island, and then goods would be transported via small to medium-sized boats.

When the crew members in the cockpit suddenly heard Qin Hao’s voice, they jumped in shock, turning their heads towards the wireless intelligent surveillance probe.

"Stop looking, it’s me talking. Go and open that container," he said.

The crew promptly responded, "Yes, Mr. Qin."

They went up to the deck and, following Qin Hao’s instructions, they opened the red container, and out walked the Xinghai smart robots, one by one.

Robot 002 said, "We were suffocating in there, finally able to come out for some fresh air."

The crew members took a step back in fright when they heard Robot 002 speak, thinking to themselves, "Holy shit, has this hunk of metal come to life?"

Though they had heard of artificial intelligence, this was their first encounter with Xinghai Company’s AI robots.

Seeing their reaction, Robot 002 said with a laugh, "Don’t be scared, we’re all on the same side. I’m just following my master here. Now, if only I had an AK and some pirates showed up, that’d be awesome."

The crew members looked at each other bewildered, thinking, "This guy actually wants pirates? Big brother, do you not know how vicious pirates are? If we encounter them, we’re all dead."

Robot 002 said, "Brothers, come out and soak up some sun; let’s get those batteries fully charged."

Qin Hao watched for a while longer before turning off the satellite video feed, then checked the Star Domain Network usage in Beiluo Country, North and South Mizhou, and West Continent.

The number of Star Domain Network users in Beiluo Country had soared to over one hundred million. Although Beiluo Country was the largest in the world in terms of territory, it had a sparse population of less than two hundred million. Now, the internet users had reached over one hundred million; the network communications market was undoubtedly conquered.

The user numbers in West Continent and North and South Mizhou were also rising fast. These days were a free trial period, and almost every netizen was trying out the Star Domain Network.

You wouldn’t know until you try, but once you do, it’s quite a shock. The network speed felt like riding a rocket, and when paired with a smartphone that boasted excellent performance and storage capacity, it was a perfect match.

Afterward, Qin Hao checked the overseas download numbers for Xinghai Social Software, which wasn’t very satisfying.

"Bang bang"

There was a knock at the door. Qin Hao said, "Come in."

Qin Man walked in and spoke to Qin Hao, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Su and a few friends have arrived; they’re waiting for you in the reception room."

"Mr. Su? Which Mr. Su? Su Mingzhi from Huamei Company?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

Qin Man replied, "No, it’s Mr. Su from Jinchen City. She said she’s an old friend of yours."

...

Then it dawned on Qin Hao who it was -- other than Su Jiayi, who else from Jinchen City could it be? He only knew one Su there, and this person had quite the clout, not someone to offend lightly.

Also, when did she and I become friends? It doesn’t seem like we’re familiar at all.

Last time, Su Jiayi even drew a tube of blood from him. Could it be that they discovered something?

He got up and went to the reception room, where Su Jiayi, Wei Pengtao, and Zheng Qinghui were sitting and drinking tea.

Seeing Qin Hao coming in, the three of them stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao sat opposite them, "Miss Su, what do the three of you want to see me for?"

With a smile, Su Jiayi said, "Isn’t Mr. Qin leading a team to the East Chao Country tomorrow? We’re coming with you to talk business on the side."

Their companies were going to represent state-owned enterprises for cooperation, like Wei Pengtao’s mechanical mining company, which was going to East Chao Country to jointly develop the largest iron mine in West Continent.

Zheng Qinghui’s family intended to open several more airports in East Chao Country.

What are you going to East Chao Country for? You’re not members of my Xinghai Association.

Although that’s what Qin Hao thought, he dared not say it out loud, mainly because Su Jiayi’s identity was too intimidating. Who would dare to provoke her?

He replied, "Sure, that’s no problem. You can follow us there tomorrow."

Looking at him, Su Jiayi said, "Mr. Qin, there’s one more thing. Could I borrow a bit more blood from you this time?"

Qin Hao looked at her warily, "Big sister, look at how thin I’ve become. If you draw more blood, I’m afraid it will hurt my vitality."

Su Jiayi glanced at him, "Mr. Qin, you’re a doctor yourself. Don’t you have any idea whether it will harm your vitality or not?"

Qin Hao chuckled dryly, "My constitution is different from that of normal people. It’s easy for me to harm my vitality. Others might not have a clue."

Su Jiayi continued, "Mr. Qin, after testing with professional equipment, we found that the cell longevity in your blood is completely different from that of normal people. We calculated that the aging rate of your cells is about three times slower than that of ordinary people.

That is to say, if others can live up to eighty years, you could live beyond two hundred. However, we can’t confirm this yet, so we need more of your cells for testing."

Qin Hao was startled inside, "Damn, Su Jiayi’s company is really something, to have figured this out."

He replied, "Miss Su, let’s forget about it. I really dislike the feeling of people using me for experiments."

Su Jiayi insisted, "This is not treating you like a lab rat. Perhaps we can find a genetic breakthrough in your body. If we really succeed, you will make the greatest contribution to the advancement of mankind, and your name will go down in history."

Qin Hao snorted, "I’m already set to go down in history now."

Seeing that he was unyielding, Su Jiayi’s wily nature suddenly emerged, "Are you going to give it or not? If not, I’m going to call my grandfather."

...

Wei Pengtao and Zheng Qinghui were dumbfounded, here she was using that trick again, a tactic that had worked many times over in Jinchen City, never failing to succeed.

Because no one dared to take the risk, who is her grandfather? If he really made the call, the consequences would likely be dreadful.

- Qin Hao: "Miss Su, you’re not exactly young anymore. That’s quite childish of you. Even if you make the call, I don’t believe you’d have me executed."

With fierce eyes, Su Jiayi glared at him; this was the first time she was thwarted, "How much? Can’t I just buy it?"

Qin Hao replied, "My parents said I’ve been frail since I was young. Drawing blood really does damage my vitality."
