Chapter 680

Both of them were satisfied.

Mr. Martin, unable to contain his excitement, could not wait to experience Dahlia’s services firsthand.

He was eager to see what this virtual assistant could offer.

Meanwhile, Darwin was particularly intrigued by Tinkerbell, who had remained quiet throughout the proceedings. The blank slate of her personality intrigued him, as it provided an opportunity for him to design her according to his preferences. He had already started envisioning new virtual assistants he could create.

As Darwin, now renowned for his abilities, entered a simple program into the black box’s control panel, he focused on selecting the virtual assistant, Dahlia, and began entering a series of codes.

The harem spirit and the others expected this to happen and quickly glanced at the screen, even though they didn’t understand the programming language. Max ensured that all the codes were in English before leaving.

The harem spirit caught a glimpse of a few words as Darwin typed.

“Owner”. “Goodnight”, and “Coax”.

However, she could not read the code consisting of symbols.

The harem spirit was speechless.

He wants me to coax him to sleep, how shameless could he be?

Whatever, I’ll keep up with the act.

After Darwin hit the Enter key, the harem spirit immediately stepped forward, speaking softly, “Master, it’s late. Don’t work anymore… I’d worry about you if you stay up. Please lie down and let Dahlia coax you to sleep.”

“Dahlia can help you relax and lull you to sleep. Master, please lie down quickly.”

Darwin lay on the sofa.

The harem spirit sang, “Oh~ why is the master still keeping his eyes open, the master is not well!”

Darwin straightened up and exclaimed, “It’s possible! Mr. Martin, what I just input was a simple command, but the virtual assistant can learn independently. As a result, she can take specific actions based on her knowledge…”

Mr. Martin and Mr. Young were concerned about being deceived by Max.

Now they feel reassured.

With a stroke of his pen, Mr. Martin approved 500 million dollars for Darwin to construct a smart house!

The three of them never imagined that this would be their first “useless expenditure”.

…

After Max left with Lilly, he went straight to the laboratory.

“Uncle Max, are we moving today?” Lilly inquired.

Max sighed, “There are too many things to do. Let’s organize and document them today. The moving team sent by your Uncle Anthony will arrive tomorrow, and everything will be transported together.”

Lilly became ecstatic, “So, will Uncle Max also be in Alfornada from now on?”

Max caressed her hair, “Yes, and I can accompany you in the future!”

Lilly nodded joyfully, “Yeah!”

“Uncle Max, should Lilly help you move?”

As she spoke, Lilly happily took out the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.

Max looked at her with bewilderment, “How can we move everything with this tiny object…”

The object appeared to be a palace, but it was merely a small pendant.

To his surprise, the small pendant shook right before his eyes.

Suddenly, the table in front of Max vanished!

His expression changed, and his eyes widened.

Where did the table go?

What happened to the large table?

Lilly shook the Palace of the Ruler of Hell and asked, “Uncle Max, what else do you need to move?”

Max felt a buzzing sensation in his head and quickly responded, “Lilly, put the table back!”

Lilly blinked innocently and confirmed that this area was not under surveillance, which was why she had taken it out.

She obediently put the table back and inquired, “Uncle Max, are there any other security cameras here?”

Max was filled with dread, “It’s not about security cameras…”

His location was classified, so naturally there would not be any surveillance cameras behind him. His permissions were simply encrypted…

However, with such a large table suddenly disappearing without anyone seeing him taking it out, there were bound to be suspicions.

Lilly pointed to the typhoon outside and suggested, “Lilly has an idea. Just say that the typhoon blew it away!”

She continued, “Or, just say you don’t know. Let them investigate. They won’t be able to find out.”

As long as Uncle Max leaves without any trace, and there are numerous surveillance cameras outside that did not capture him taking anything, what’s the harm if others are surprised?

Under Blake’s guidance, Little Hades had gradually become mischievous.

Max sighed.

“Enough, let’s not cause any trouble.” Max silently put the Palace of the Ruler of Hell back on Lilly’s wrist.

He also studied scientific concepts like space and wormholes. Compared to that, Lilly was like a younger brother to him.

After organizing his belongings, Max took Lilly back home.

The vehicle sent by Anthony arrived the next day. Since these were delicate instruments, a professional moving team was hired, which was why Max had to wait for Anthony.

Max had already started copying the data two days ago, and now it was complete. To facilitate the copying, he purchased two specialized docking instruments, which were placed downstairs. Since they needed to be taken upstairs, the process was much quicker.

He asked someone to pack up the laboratory instruments and then began to move.

Everyone in the research institute knew about such a big movement, and they all came over to inquire.

“Mr. Max, are you leaving?”

“Mr. Max, how can we continue to research this project without you?”

“Mr. Max, don’t go… At worst, we’ll talk to Mr. Martin and the others for you. What happened, can’t we talk about it?”

Max shook his head, “You don’t need to do that.”

Lilly told the truth to them, “My Uncle Max has researched capable virtual assistants, and those two said that they would take away Uncle Max’s virtual assistant, Stacy.”

“Uncle Max spent a total of 200 million dollars on researching Stacy, and they said they would only give Uncle Max 1 million dollars!”

There was an uproar when everyone heard it.

Two hundred million dollars, and they’re only offering him one million dollars?

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and was extremely angry.

“Isn’t this an obvious robbery?”

“This is unacceptable!”

“Mr. Max, go talk to Mr. Martin and the others!”

Max was noncommittal.

Lilly continued, “They have gone too far! They want Uncle Max to hand over all the research, and if he doesn’t agree to hand over Miss Stacy to them, they will take away all of Uncle Max’s hard work!”

“They’re also very rude. They came into our house without our consent. They sat down and ate the food we made before we could have a bite. Their parents didn’t teach them manners.”

From Lilly’s words, everyone roughly figured out what happened that day.

Barging into someone’s house uninvited and eating other people’s food without their consent…

Did they think that was their house?

Scumbags!

Max said casually, “Thank you for working with me for so many years. I hope our paths cross in the future.”

Max’s assistant had been sensing something amiss for the past few days, but Max and the others did not say anything.

Now, the assistant removed their lab coat on the spot and threw it on the ground, declaring, “Mr. Max, I’ll go with you.”

Max raised an eyebrow and cautioned, “Don’t act impulsively.”

The assistant responded, “I’m not acting on impulse.”

Ever since the joint venture, the laboratory had become less and less like a laboratory.

In the past, everyone focused on their research.

Now, there was competition.

With the recruitment of new talents by the group, their treatment and the treatment of those from the group were governed by different systems. Although their laboratory was financially constrained, it still fell under the country’s jurisdiction in the name.

The laboratory had only been spun off this year—the lithography machine project was too costly, so certain labs were consolidated and converted into a joint venture, with the claim that it was an upgrade in management…

Naturally, such divisions were not entirely based on merit, and the director lacked sophistication, resulting in their laboratory being integrated.

However, they had a stable job. As long as one didn’t resign, they could spend their whole life sipping tea and waiting for retirement.

However, it was different for those who came from the group. They were paid by the group and wanted to take their belongings with them.

Max’s eyes dimmed, and a sudden urge welled up within him.

How dare you joke with me? I’m taking everything from this laboratory!

“Have you thought it through?” Max asked, her tone serious. “Are you coming with me?”

The assistant nodded resolutely, “Yeah!”
