"Has the response from Unit 00 disappeared?" The Bald Salesman stared blankly at the data displayed on the screen. He had only asked it to contact Tony Stark, hadn't he?
How could it just vanish?
"Could it have been taken out by Stark Industries' defense system?" he muttered to himself, considering this possibility.
After all, Stark Industries was a leading research and development company in the weapons industry. If they didn't have robust anti-theft measures, their weapon data would have likely been stolen by spies long ago.
"But... didn't Unit 00 have identity verification installed? And it didn't take any unusual routes? How could it just disappear for no reason?" The numerous inconsistencies made the Bald Salesman furrow his brow deeply.
After all, the manpower and money spent on developing an artificial intelligence were no small sum. Losing it for no reason was bound to sting: "Hmph... since I can't reach Tony Stark, I'll contact his old rival instead!"
"I believe Justin would be interested!"
The Bald Salesman's eyes gleamed slightly. Business was business; as long as principles weren't violated and the money was right, a businessman wouldn't care about the other party's identity.
Moreover, he realized he had just done something foolish. Stark Industries had just announced their withdrawal from weapon development and manufacturing projects, and here he was, losing his mind trying to contact Tony, that idiot who wouldn't make any money...
"One Billion Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars... Stark Industries is asking for One Billion Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars!"
"And that's just the minimum price for one unit!" He murmured to himself, lost in thought. Although the development of the Self-Discipline Cannon had faced many challenges, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
The office door slowly creaked open, and a researcher in a white lab coat walked in.
Seeing the strangely expressioned leader, the young researcher broke into a sweat and stammered, "Doctor... The Island Nation is urging us to hurry up and move the new weapon to that classroom with the monsters!"
"If not... they'll cancel our cooperation!"
—Smack!
"Cancel cooperation?" Upon hearing this, the Bald Salesman snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "I spent so much money, and they're threatening me with cancellation? Do they really think they can treat me like a dog?!"
The young researcher was taken aback. In his impression, the doctor was not like this.
What had caused such a sudden change in demeanor?
Had he transformed from a sycophantic lackey into a hard-edged villain?
Was it possible that his posture while opening the door was incorrect, leading to this hallucination?
In the eyes of the young researcher, his boss suddenly inhaled deeply, and a heavy voice reached his ears.
"Throw Subject 008 into that classroom. Regardless, we still need to collect data on practical applications. As for those Vibrant Goods from Island Nation, ignore them!"
It was important to note that the price of a self-regulating weapon was one billion dollars! Nothing made the Bald Salesman feel more confident than this.
"Understood, Doctor! I'll arrange for someone to take 008 over right now!" The sudden change in his boss left the young researcher momentarily stunned. Once he regained his composure, he quickly exited the office to handle the next steps.
As soon as the office was left with only the Bald Salesman, a strange laughter began to echo softly…
……
In Classroom E of the Third Year
As the holographic image projected on the table vanished, the students gathered around began to discuss animatedly.
"That was Tony Stark, right? Iron Man! I can't believe we could see him through a hologram!"
"It was just a projection, but it gave off such an oppressive aura! No wonder he's the president of a major corporation!"
Hearing these compliments, one fan of another character became displeased and scoffed, "Ha! Oppressive? I think it's him who's feeling oppressed!"
After this remark echoed through the room, everyone's gaze turned toward a figure not far away. Although it was somewhat disheartening, just like the comment suggested, Tony—Iron Man in everyone's eyes—had an expression that looked utterly defeated!
In the corner, Chen Fan was examining the Large Freezer in front of him. Although it appeared quite cold and uninviting on the outside, inside it was genuinely equipped with weapons, making it resemble a military armory.
"Do you have any dissatisfaction with my design, User?" the Three-No Artificial Intelligence Girl asked from the screen.
Chen Fan nodded; the design was indeed lacking. However, as he circled the Large Freezer, he wasn't fixated on her design. After a full turn, he scratched his head and asked, "007... can your core program be extracted from this Large Freezer?"
"Yes!" 007 nodded. As a weapon, it only needed to obey commands. Facing the many curious gazes, it opened its mouth and said, "User, please provide me with a hard drive that can store my data, and I will be able to detach from the Autonomous Turret's mainframe!"
Detaching the artificial intelligence 007 from the Autonomous Turret's mainframe?
Now everyone was even more puzzled about what Chen Fan was planning to do.
Without the intelligent program controlling it, what difference would there be between the expensive Self-Discipline Cannon and scrap metal?
Only those who understood 007's true value would know that Chen Fan didn't spend nine million on what was merely a Self-Discipline Cannon; J.A.R.V.I.S.'s offer of One Billion Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars wasn't for a pile of scrap metal either.
The only valuable thing was 007 itself—this artificial intelligence.
In front of everyone, Chen Fan pointed to the phone on the table and asked, "Will this work?"
After all, it was a piece of black technology created by Tony. Though small in size, its functionality rivaled that of a large server.
"There is something on you that is more suitable for storing my data!" The expressionless artificial intelligence girl now had a look of anticipation on her face as her gaze shifted to the book floating beside the boy.
No matter how it was scanned, this book appeared to be made of metal and was infinitely superior to that beautifully designed phone!
Following her gaze, Chen Fan looked bewildered. Did this ridiculous weapon also have the ability to attract artificial intelligence? He couldn't tell!
"Are you sure this... uh, this book can store your data?" Chen Fan still hadn't fully grasped all of Thunder Book's capabilities. He certainly didn't want to see the unique artificial intelligence he had finally encountered get trapped by this ridiculous weapon!
After all, this artificial intelligence was one of a kind—an intelligent life form even more special than J.A.R.V.I.S.!
"Not a problem, Aser!" 007 smiled lightly, feeling an intuitive sensation that did not stem from the host's processor or data calculations. To describe it in words, 007 could only express this feeling using human vocabulary.
— Destiny!
A sense of destiny drew it toward the metallic Thunder Book.
"Then give it a try!" Chen Fan shrugged, feeling the intense gaze of Three Noes Girl upon him, which was quite pressuring!
From a perspective beyond ordinary humans, Chen Fan could see a strange wave rising from the Large Freezer, converging toward the Thunder Book beside him. However, as it touched the book's surface, a crackling electric spark extended outward, seemingly trying to prevent any external intrusion.
Just as that wave was about to be extinguished by the electric spark, a hand slapped down on the book's cover, causing all the electric sparks to dissipate and allowing the wave to successfully enter the book's interior.
Through a subtle connection, Chen Fan could feel 007's life magnetic field fading from above the Large Freezer, while a dim mist gathered in that space of the Arena of Thunder.
What is this? Chen Fan didn't even know how to respond; this cursed weapon was indeed troublesome!
It was so close—his chance at obtaining the Three-No Artificial Intelligence Girl almost vanished due to the Thunder Book...
Even if it succeeded in the end, 007 would suffer significant damage and probably wouldn't be able to contact Chen Fan for a long time.
"This thing is shutting down on its own; it has nothing to do with me!" A classmate was about to reach out and feel the value of the One Billion Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars weapon when he was startled by its sudden state. Not only had it shut down, but there was also a burnt smell wafting from its body.
He nearly died of fright; this was a weapon that someone had offered One Billion for, and yet Chen Fan remained unfazed!
"Not your business; you can deal with that broken freezer!" Seeing his classmate on the verge of tears, Chen Fan chuckled lightly. Throwing away the artificial intelligence girl 007, this Self-Discipline Artillery Weapon was worthless in his eyes.
Technological Weapons, especially those with low technological advancement—what couldn't be resolved with a single Electromagnetic Pulse?
If there were any issues left, just fire off a few more!
"Koro-sensei... I'm going back to America for a while, and I can't afford to have my attendance marked down!"
Chen Fan's gaze shifted toward the Monster Teacher, who was sulking in the corner. Upon meeting Chen Fan's eyes, the Monster Teacher perked up, waving its tentacles and saying, "Don't worry, Chen Fan!"
"However, I hope you can come back to participate in the exam. After all, um, well! Students who don't take part in collective exams aren't good students!" The Monster Teacher was determined not to let this moment slip by; getting Chen Fan to take the exam was entirely due to a bet with the Certain Principal.
To prove that the students of E Class were no worse than those from other classes, the Monster Teacher had signed a wager agreement with the Certain Principal!
The stakes were based on exam results, and the wager was its salary for the next few months...
Ah! What a risky gamble! The Monster Teacher lamented for a moment.
"No problem... With your speed, as long as you know where I am, you won't have trouble finding me!" Chen Fan smiled lightly at the Monster Teacher's demeanor. Even with his intervention, events continued to unfold as they were meant to.
Chen Fan was preparing to return to America because he had heard that Captain America had come back...
But it seemed he couldn't return now; he must have been discovered.
Chen Fan's original purpose for going back was to upgrade his artificial intelligence. However, seeing the Three Noes Girl in such a frail state, it seemed that plan wouldn't work out. His focus would have to shift from primary goals to secondary ones; perhaps he could find some satisfaction in exploring the Cosmic Cube without venturing into the Marvel Universe!
