Chapter 753: How to Split the Cake (2)!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Jiang Youdao heard Zhou Chao’s offer to hand over the technology to him, a trace of warmth flashed in his heart. Although he didn’t know the specific value of this technology, just the fact that it could change the nature of the desert made its value no less than that of a Fortune 500 company!

In the face of interests, sometimes even familial bonds can be fragile.

“Alright, when the time comes, I’ll have the old master provide specific experimental data, so I can handle some matters.” Jiang Youdao didn’t refuse Zhou Chao’s proposal. Although he was worried that Zhou Chao might have ulterior motives, these things had to be done.

“Dad, how secure is the computer at home?” Zhou Chao asked, looking at the black computer on the desk.

Jiang Youdao hesitated for a moment, not reacting immediately. “The computer at home?”

“Yeah, if it’s safe, I’ll directly send the files to your computer.”

“Oh, the computer at home is absolutely safe. The old master sometimes needs to work at home, so the computer has been specially handled. You can rest assured!” Jiang Youdao said confidently.

Zhou Chao didn’t say much more when he saw his father-in-law’s expression. He took out his phone and said softly, “Xiao Guo, check if the computer is safe. If it is, transfer the desertification data files directly to the computer!”

The phone lit up, and a cute voice sounded, “Okay, Brother Chao, I’ll check it now. Please wait...”

Jiang Youdao was completely bewildered. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Guo’s voice again, “Check complete, no abnormalities found on the computer. Beginning transfer of relevant files... Transfer complete. Do you have any further instructions?”



“No, you can rest now!” Zhou Chao gently tapped his phone after speaking.

“Okay, Brother Chao!” The screen of the phone dimmed automatically after the response.

Watching Zhou Chao’s phone, Jiang Youdao stuttered a bit and asked, “Xiao Chao, is this... is this your artificial intelligence?”

“Yeah, it’s a little gadget I researched myself!” Zhou Chao nodded with a slight smile.

“Why do I feel like your little gadget is much more advanced than any I’ve seen before?” Comparing it to a project he had visited before, the difference in intelligence alone was significant.

Although he wasn’t an expert in this field, he still had some insight, and just now it quietly entered the computer on the desk.

“Of course, Xiao Guo can be said to be the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world right now!” Zhou Chao was very proud of this aspect, which was also something he created with his own hands.

Jiang Youdao didn’t take Zhou Chao’s words to heart. Instead, he took out his own phone and made a call.

Watching his father-in-law’s actions, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but wonder if he was coveting his artificial intelligence.

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment. His father-in-law’s suggestion was reasonable. He realized he had been too simplistic in his thinking.

“Alright, Dad, you handle the arrangements!”

Jiang Lao returned home quite quickly, taking less than twenty minutes.

“Oh, what are you two chatting about? You seem so engrossed!” As soon as he entered the study, Jiang Lao saw Zhou Chao and Jiang Youdao deep in conversation.

“Dad / Grandpa,” both of them quickly stood up.

Jiang Lao waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formality. After all, they were all family.



“Youdao, was there something you needed when you called me just now?” Jiang Lao asked as he sat down on his recliner.

Jiang Youdao glanced at Zhou Chao and then proceeded to explain the whole situation in detail, even taking the opportunity to praise Zhou Chao.

Jiang Lao, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up, his eyes shining as he looked at Zhou Chao. “You’re becoming more and more mysterious. Every time we meet, you give me a surprise.”

Zhou Chao scratched his head, momentarily unsure how to respond to Jiang Lao’s words.

Jiang Lao didn’t say much more. He got up and walked over to the computer, sitting down. Seeing a file named “Desertification” on the desktop, he opened it and began reading.

Soon, Jiang Lao became engrossed in the document. Zhou Chao and Jiang Youdao exchanged a glance, then quietly tiptoed to the chairs nearby and sat down, sipping their tea in silence.

After what seemed like a while, a knock came at the study door. Only then did Jiang Lao tear his gaze away from the computer.

The study door opened, and Jiang Li walked in carrying two fruit plates. Upon seeing her, Zhou Chao quickly got up to greet her.

Taking the fruit plates, he said somewhat tenderly, “You should rest properly. Why did you personally bring the fruit plates?”

“I saw you chatting for so long, so I cut some fruit for you to refresh yourselves!” Jiang Li said with a smile.

“You...” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but gently pinch Jiang Li’s cheek.

“Ahem, can you two lovebirds pay attention to the occasion? There are still two people sitting here!” Jiang Youdao couldn’t help but speak up.

“Dad~” Jiang Li directly rolled her eyes at Jiang Youdao.



“Alright, alright, Xiao Li, you go and rest first. We still have some things to discuss with Xiao Chao, and it might take a while,” Jiang Lao intervened.

Jiang Li obediently nodded at her grandfather’s words, shyly glanced at Zhou Chao, tiptoed to give Zhou Chao a kiss, then turned and left the study.
