The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 221
Advertisement
Feng Yun was shocked to see the computer perform in front of her. She asked Yang Dao when did he even complete this thing. The boy smiled and replied, "The source code comes from Lisa, Mobile Operating System. You remember the market interface we launched so that the developers can code and develop their own apps for the OS."
Feng Yun nodded. The boy continued, "So, in the agreement we signed with these developers, we asked them to allow us to copy the source code. We obviously paid them with the term where they get eighty percent of the money made by their apps. They were all happy, so they opened the source code to us. I asked our technicians to upload them all to a server connected to our system on the floor below.
Remember when I coded first. I had a self-learning algorithm posted then when I hacked into Crypto Nation Closed net, things became easier. Crypto nation has a AI developed, so I just copied some codes from there to provide my system a base. Then tweaked with it a bit. The rest came from the codes of other developers. Copied and arranged the needed parts. That was much easier than typing the whole patch.
After a month of self debugging and coding, this is the result" {Disclaimer: Tech geeks, I do not know how to code an AI so just go with the flow here?}
Yang Dao was done explaining, and he stood up. Feng Yun asked, "Where are you going? Today is your day off."
The boy replied, "To the Military Cantonment. Baibai asked me to bring over the cubs when I come back. Do you want to come?"
Feng Yun smiled and put her arm over his shoulder as she said, "Nope, I have slept little in the past few years. I will rest today. You go. Be careful on the road. Carry your firearm on you. Also, your ID."

Yang Dao smiled and nodded. He came out of the room and picked up his car keys with the wallet and other essentials. Then he beckoned the two cubs on the balcony. They immediately followed him. The cubs were getting smarter at a quick speed. Within eight days of training with Sushi, they have become capable of interacting with Yang Dao.
They can understand the basic signs and gestures if not human speech. Sushi had them focus the source energy they absorbed directly into their brain. This way they will nourish the rest of the body more efficiently. Only with a better brain can they grow strong. A beast's body was stronger than that of a human in normal circumstances, but they lacked intellect. So this was what Sushi came up with.
The boy walked forward with the cubs in tow. The elevator descended and Yang Dao came to the parking. He saw his black car standing there. He smiled and walked forward. He was now wearing a holster on the side of his thigh. His silver gun rested inside.
Getting inside the car, he revved it. The cubs sat in the passenger seat. Yang Dao floored the accelerator and drove out. His first destination was the fuel station. An attendant stood there. Yang Dao parked the car in front of a vacant station and lowered down the window. He said, "Full tank please."
The attendant smiled and after tweaking with the fuel pump, he picked up the hose and inserted it into a hole in the side of the car. The rest of the attendants were normal, but the people were surprised. They have never seen such a beautiful car. Yang Dao was used to this and did not react. The fueling was done after a few minutes and the boy paid with his own card. Then he drove out of the fueling station.

The second destination was the military cantonment. He drove on the road and on the way he picked up a bouquet of white lilies. After half an hour, he drove the car past the last barricade and parked in the parking space.
He got off the car and the two cubs followed him on both sides. They showed a vigilant look. Sushi had trained them to be guards of the boy. This was the first thing they were taught by the tiny Sylph. Yang Dao was about to enter the facility when he heard a cheery voice from behind. "Dao?"
He turned his head and found Kaya looking at him a few meters away. She smiled after seeing him and almost flew over to his side. She whispered. "Please help me for old times' sake?"
Yang Dao asked, "What is the matter?"
Kaya was about to say when a guy in a navy uniform walked over with a smile. He said, "Kaya, where did you vanish to? I thought you bailed out on me."
The girl smiled and said, "No, I actually came to meet my boyfriend, Dao. Let me introduce you two," she pointed at Yang Dao and said, "This is Captain Feng Yang Dao, my boyfriend." then she pointed at the man and said, "This is Commander Terrence Lewis, my childhood friend."
She did not introduce the rest of the details purposefully. Yang Dao heard the person was a commander, so he saluted him with a military code of conduct. The guy was slightly surprised, and he only nodded subconsciously. Yang Dao suddenly spoke up, "Report, Sir. Commander Kaya is not my girlfriend, the reason she said so is to not make you feel bad and end the friendship between you, too. I have no right to talk between you two, but I hope you can consider what she feels like and stop being too clingy. Please respect yourself."
His words shocked not only Terrence but also Kaya. The girl did not expect Yang Dao to pull such a card on the person. Terrence, however, was angry. How can a lower-ranking guy teach him?
He asked in a cold voice, "Go out of the building and kneel. How dare you talk back to a superior ranking officer?"
