Disregarding the people outside, as Tong Xueping followed Running Dog into the laboratory, what she saw made her think that this was an alien base. Everything here gave off a strong sci-fi vibe. If someone wanted to make a sci-fi movie, this would be the perfect laboratory set for it…

As soon as she entered, the first thing she saw was a private laboratory that looked like a big iron box. Running Dog introduced it as they walked. “This is Miss Chuyin’s personal laboratory. The laboratory uses a bio-detector at the door. If it detects an unknown person trying to enter the laboratory, the laboratory door will emit 30,000 watts of electricity to stun the intruder.”

Such a horrifying defense system for just a laboratory. Tong Xueping suddenly leaned towards the outside.

On the left of Li Chuyin’s laboratory was a big piece of empty land. There was a crowd of people there with their full attention focused on arranging some computers. On the ground around them were cables as thick as a person’s thumbs and circuit wires about the thickness of the last finger.

Although Tong Xueping was bursting with curiosity, she didn’t dare to go over to ask them what they were doing. Heaven knew if those people had any defense systems around them.

“These are the virtual reality internet technology games currently being developed.” Running Dog introduced. “This is the post-development work of Dream Dota League. Oh, Miss Tong Xueping, please do not walk carelessly around here. It would be disastrous if you were to trip on the power cables.”

“Okay, okay.” Tong Xueping nodded quickly.

On the right was another large group of people sitting in a circle. They were working on the computers. Sitting in the crowd was a girl with blue hair tied into a ponytail. Right in the middle of the crowd was a large open space where two people were dancing to faint music. Tong Xueping was stunned the moment she saw them. She froze for an instant before exclaiming. “Hatsune Miku! And Luo Tianyi! God, they are the kids’ hot favorite now!”

The Hatsune Tianyi Duo was the favorite virtual duo of the children in the Heavenly State. Although Tong Xueping was just an intern reporter for the Tianjing Children’s Channel, she knew of them.

The problem was that, after Tong Xueping got over her shock, she pointed at Lin Chuyin in the crowd. She said in surprise, “That… that is also Hatsune Miku?!”

“That is Miss Lin Chuyin.” Running Dog explained. “She is the leading scientist beside Young Master and the person who made me. In human terms, I should call her Queen Mother.”

Queen Mother… that’s a really good title!

The area following this one was emptier, but helmets were strewn all around the place. Tong Xueping was completely befuddled. She asked curiously, “Those helmets are…”

“Oh, that is something we might start working on in the future.” Running Dog advanced with Tong Xueping. “I am unable to divulge too much now. Actually, I am not very sure what those are for either.”

All right. Although she had no idea what those were for, they sure looked impressive…

The human and the robot continued on their way and soon arrived at an opulent room. Running Dog said, “Young Master is right inside. Miss Tong Xueping, please enter.”

“Young Master… is inside?” Tong Xueping gulped. She looked at the sci-fi style door with uncertainty.

With that thought, the door slowly opened. Taking just a glance inside, Tong Xueping was completely stunned…

Before she came, she had imagined the countless things Hong Dali might be doing. For example, he might be doing some research, thinking of new ideas, or perhaps sleeping…

However, she had never imagined that at that moment in time, Hong Dali was happily lying with his head on Li Nianwei’s lap. Li Nianwei was even peeling grapes for him.

If that was all, it would still be okay. The crux was that there was still a gorgeous lady adjusting the sound on the microphone and a cameraman carrying a video camera!

“This… this is…” Tong Xueping started sweating profusely. “Young Master, you are…”

“Aiya, Miss Tong Xueping is here?” Upon seeing Tong Xueping enter the room, Hong Dali sat up slowly. He spoke to the pretty lady who was adjusting the sound on the microphone. “Sister Anqi, please teach her how to do the interview later. No need for me to say so much.”

“Okay, Young Master.” Tang Anqi smiled and said to Tong Xueping, “When you’re doing your interview later, don’t point the camera directly at Young Master. Young Master’s face must be covered by a mosaic. You must also not include anything work-related in your interview. Young Master is usually very busy with work and any mention of it gives him a headache.”

Hearing that, Tong Xueping’s mouth gaped open in wonder. This… this method of interviewing someone was too far-fetched…

“Then… all right, then…” Tong Xueping could only agree.

And so the interview began…

…

Half an hour later.

At the door of the laboratory.

The reporters were impatient after waiting for so long. They wanted to rush in and report in Tong Xueping’s place. Suddenly, someone with sharp hearing called out, “They’re coming out! I hear footsteps!”

“Where? Where? Hurry! Let me see, let me see!””How did the interview go? I have been a reporter for so many years and this is the first time I have seen something like this!””Stop talking, let’s find out when they come out!”

It turned out that the one who exited was the beautiful reporter Tang Anqi. Once the 1.76m tall beauty stepped out of the laboratory, she smiled and said, “We apologize for letting everyone wait. The interview has ended. You may all go back.”

Hearing that, everyone gaped. One reporter asked quickly, “This… the interview has ended? We still don’t know anything!” Another person said, “Yes! How are we going to report to our superiors when we get back?” Someone else cried out, “You have to at least tell us something. Otherwise, I will get reprimanded by my leader when I go back!”

“I’m unable to divulge anything at the moment. All I can say is…” Tang Anqi smiled. “The report will be on Tianjing Children’s Channel on TV and on Heavenly State online gaming website. They’ll be aired concurrently at 8 PM tonight.”

After waiting for half a day, this was all the news they got? A simultaneous report by some other station to be aired at 8 PM?

The reporters were confounded. They were so exasperated they pulled their hair out.

What else could they do? Hong Dali was a super engineer recognized by Heavenly State. The state had obviously backed him in his technological research. Now they even had a super cool Mechanical Holy Garment. Who would dare to offend him?

“This… all right.” There was nothing the reporters could do. In the end, they could only helplessly reply, “In that case, that’s what we will report to our leaders…”

…

At 1 PM that afternoon, almost every media company in the Heavenly State had a newsflash: “Young Master Dali expresses his desire to keep news of Mechanical Man a secret. Our company was unable to acquire any details. All we know is that Tianjing Children’s Channel and Heavenly State online gaming website will both air the interview concurrently at 8 PM tonight. We apologize for not being able to provide more details.”

Almost all media companies announced the same thing. In an instant, everyone’s interest was piqued.

There was absolutely no leaked news on the mysterious and extremely powerful Mechanical Man. The only leaked videos available on the internet were the few videos that were taken with smartphone cameras, and they were of very bad quality. There was absolutely nothing else!

Something like that had never happened before.

Numerous people were waiting in front of the TV or the computer for 8 PM to arrive. They were all waiting to watch the exclusive report on Hong Dali’s Mechanical Man. Such a situation had not arisen in a long time. Almost everyone in Heavenly State was talking about Hong Dali’s Mechanical Man.

In the beginning, people were wary of the credulity of the Mechanical Man. They were curious as to whether the previously viral videos on the web were legitimate. After all, no one could even imagine a weapon of such great power.

Just at that moment, So Cool video-sharing website released the latest high-resolution video of Mechanical Man’s weapon!

That was the High-Pressure Electric Pulse Light Beam that Lin Chuyin had fired at full power previously.

Everyone was so amazed that their eyeballs practically fell out of their sockets onto the floor.

This high-resolution video of Mechanical Man’s weapon went viral through the entire Heavenly State.

Countless people watched it, downloaded it, talked about it, and enjoyed it. The reason was that this was a superweapon created by Hong Dali! “I am Mechanical Man, I speak for myself!” This refreshing statement erupted like bamboo shoots from the ground after a rain shower, flooding the entire internet.

On that day, Mechanical Man’s words appeared on almost all the Weibo posts forwarded, commented on, or reposted by people. Many more simply posted the link. Below the link were the comments: “Mother asked me why I was kneeling to the computer.””The computer indicates that people may rise.””This is one year worth of my knees, Young Master. Please accept them!”

It didn’t matter if they were sincere or if they were just joining in on the fun. Anyway, Dali’s Technology and Mechanical Man instantly became the hottest topics on Weibo.

The Director of So Cool, Wu Youdao, was seated in his office, humming to himself and sipping a drink. In his hand was a lighted cigarette and he looked extremely pleased.

In just an afternoon, the number of unique IPs visiting So Cool increased by 30%, and the number was still rising. According to the report by his secretary, they were beginning to build overseas video website servers. People everywhere were very interested in the video Young Master Hong Dali had made.

“Aiya, today is such a good day.” Wu Youdao sighed. “Working with Young Master is indeed rewarding!”

As the number of visitors to So Cool rose at rocket speed, the exclusive interview with Hong Dali officially begun on Tianjing Children’s Channel and the Heavenly State online gaming website at 8 PM…
