Yang Dao was working out in the gym. A personal trainer was assigned to him as soon as he showed his key card. The trainer was named, Wayne Flint. He was a retired special ops soldier. His physique was not as exaggerated as that of a bodybuilder.

He had sharp eyes, a pointy nose, pointy chin. He was handsome but standing in front of the 'eye-candy' incarnate, Yang Dao. He felt a little shabby. At this moment, Yang Dao was doing some weighted squats.

It was his third set with 20 repetitions each. This was the last set. As soon as he finished the last rep. Wayne Flint helped him put down the barbell on his shoulder. The weight of the barbell was a hundred kilograms.

The trainer sighed and spoke in admiration, "Young Master, you are the first person I have ever met to lift such a heavyweight on his own for three sets. You should join the army." his tone was filled with awe and excitement. (✪▽✪).

Yang Dao smiled and replied, "Instructor Wayne, I would like to join the army but the age of application is 19. I am 16. We will have to wait for some time." he spoke calmly.

Unaware that his words caused a great shock to the trainer by his side. ΩДΩ

Yang Dao took out a hand towel, cleaned his sweaty neck then went to another spot for another exercise. He worked out for a couple of hours before leaving. The gym staff was very happy with him as Yang Dao would return the dumbbells, barbells, and weight plates to the place where he found them. This was a rare thing among people.

The boy wearing a gray waist jogged his way back home. He did come across some hungry gazes but ignorance is bliss. Then the elevator took him up to his house. Yang Dao opened the door with the keycard and entered inside. He saw a trolley of food parked in the living room. The food was untouched. He walked inside his room and took a shower, changed in a clean pair of t-shirt and lower he walked out.

Professor Dew was sitting on the dining table with food in front of her. She smiled, "I thought it would be rude if i ate alone. So, I waited. Come it's all re-heated." her soft tone sounded normal to Yang Dao.

He nodded, sat down on a chair, then ate the food with great enthusiasm. Today's menu was fish soup, triple egg ommollete, and a wholesome glass of banana and nuts smoothie. After eating he let out a content burp.

Professor Dew couldn't help but chuckle at him. Yang Dao was embarrassed, he said, "Excuse me."

Then he washed the dishes despite the protest put up by the professor that she would clean her own dishes. After half an hour when Yang Dao was done cleaning his house, he took a broken mobile and his note book. He said to the beauty professor, 'Professor, let's go downstairs."

The lady nodded and after locking the house they came to the flat downstairs. In the equipment ordered asked by Kylie there was also a precision tool kit to assemble the system. Yang Dao used that tool kit to dis assemble the mobile phone which looked like a transparent screen. He sighed and said, "You have to give it to the Crypto Nation, these guys make the best tech in the world."

Professor Dew who was inspecting some of the parts chimed in agreement, "That is for sure. You see these transmitters embedded in the chipset? I have never seen this sort of an arrangement." she sounded very excited as she took down notes on the chipset.

Yang Dao removed the inbuilt-storage disk from the mobile and heaved a sigh of relief. On the outer edge of the mobile phone, there was a gasket filled with liquid nitrogen. If there was even a slightest of error in opening the back cover of the phone. Then the gasket will burst and your phone will become scrap along with the data.

Professor Dew asked him, "This connector slot is so different, how will you connect it with the notebook?"

Yang Dao took out a data cable and the connecting slot from the mobile that was used to connect the storage disk. Then he cut the data cable, his actions made Professor Dew surprised. She did not expect him to do something like this. The boy meticulously used a plucking tool to separate the optics from the data cable and soldered it with the connector slot. His actions were fluid as if he had done it many times.

Then he blew on the soldered joints to cool them down. He opened his notebook. Before connecting the storage-disk to his notebook, he made sure that the notebook was not connected to the internet. He inhaled deep and muttered, "Let's see what this thing holds for us."

He connected the cable to the notebook, and instantly a prompt sounded, Todong. This sound meant the connection was successful.

Yang Dao quickly used the mouse-pad to open the storage disk. When he completed the operation he could not help but sigh as he shook his head. Professor Dew was the same, she said, "So many encryption for an assistant program?"

Yang Dao corrected her, "Not just any assistant program. The best mobile assistant program." their was a bitterness in his voice.

Professor Dew sighed, "What now? This thing came to a dead end again." her eyes were gled to the notebook screen.

On the screen a progress bar was blinking. Data scrap in progress. The storage disk was encrypted to scrap all the data as soon as it is connected to any offline device, and if it is connected to the online device then it will send the details over. Yang Dao disconnected the cable. and walked up to the window inside the room.

He looked out at the sapphire lake in front of him. He said in a solemn voice, "As I thought, our direction is wrong."

Professor Dew just sat there calmly listening to him, the boy continued, "We are trying to achieve something the others have not. So why do we need their stuff? If it was possible to use this technology to achieve atomic fusion, they would have done so already."

Professor Dew spoke up, "True that." keeping her voice low.

Yang Dao continued, "Hmm so we develop our own Artificial intelligence."

His words shocked the professor she stood up from her seat and asked, "Are you for real now, student Dao? Do you think it is easy to create something like that?"

Yang Dao shook his head, "Nothing is easy in this world. Don't worry, I will have some people come over to help us. Instead of going right on to the artificial intelligence, we start from the roots. Automated translator, file compiler, voice controlled mobile assistants. Build everything and then combine what we learn. Everything in this world comes from nothing and then goes back to nothing. So why do we covet what others have?"

Professor Dew was surprised to see how this young man looked at the world. This sort of perspective was expected from some elders yet this boy in front of her only sixteen years old has such thoughts.

She sighed at herself. Giving up too easily. She spoke, "Student Dao, I now give you an annual project. If you can finish a BETA version of the mobile assistant by the end of the semester, you will pass my subject without examination. But we will need the program as a proof. How about it? Do we have a deal?" her words were to motivate Yang Dao to work faster and get to his goals faster.

Yang Dao was obviously happy about it. He nodded with a sunny smile on his face. Then he said, "Professor, you can start coding the basic operations in the computer. I need to go out for a bit then I will take over after coming back."

Professor Dew nodded and went to work. Yang Dao checked the time and messaged Ray on his mobile. Ray replied that he doesn't have any classes in the noon but does have two in the evening. Yang Dao communicated with him and the two decided to go out now and get him a new bike before the evening practice.

Yang Dao told Professor Dew about it and went upstairs. Then he called Feng Yun. The call connected and he described ho whe was planning to advance with the artificial intelligence and Atomic Fusion. Feng Yun approved of it and they disconnected the call.

...

The ruby tower, Feng Yun's office, at this moment a girl was sitting in the couch with a gun tied to her thigh. This girl was the same person who killed Robert. She asked Feng Yun who had just disconnected Yang dao's call.

"Yunyun, I think we should train Young Master in some combat. He cannot identify killing intent or malice, although we are here to protect him but he should be able to protect himself as well. We cannot be around him always or his growth will be hampered." her tone was serious at this moment and her words were correct. They will need to wait till Yang Dao learns all four elements before they could be by his side.

Feng Yun replied her with a smile, "Aren't you going to meet him soon. You will see that he is not as naive as you think he is. Also, do me a favor, have him learn how to drive. Last looking at his face when Quinn was denied, I wanted to cry."

The girl replied as she played with her white hair, "Okay, I can do that. Anyways, the old man will also meet him sooner. So he can be given Quinn to drive around. Who asked second brother to park it in your garage? I want to see his face when young master takes away the car. Hahahaha, will be fun." this was her personality. Bubbly and naughty.

The two women joked with each other while Yang Dao got out of the house wearing a jeans and shirt. His hair fluttered with the wind as he stepped out of the residential complex to meet Ray who was waiting for him in a car.
