Chapter 987: Shocked, Shocked

How many mainstream languages are there in the world?

English, French, Spanish, German, and Daxia.

These are the most mainstream.

This person is truly all‑round; knowing these languages, one can almost communicate with people all over the world.

Such talent, far too much talent. A person like that doing such a job.

Waste.

He said, not without regret.

"What a pity, madam, you should have better job opportunities."

The woman rolled her eyes at him.

Do you think this is somewhere else? It's Daxia; talent is never in short supply there.

Someone like him may not have a million, but still has several hundred thousand.

Because Romance languages share a common root, after learning one, picking up the others becomes much easier.

The key point is that one's level is limited to simple conversation; many people, if they study earnestly, can reach that in about a year.

If you go work elsewhere, they won't take you either.

At her level, being an international flight guide here is most suitable; not only does she earn money, but she can also improve her spoken skills by communicating with people from around the world.

"You're welcome, sir; this is our Qiongzhou Life Assistant download code."

"Our Qiongzhou Life Assistant actually knows even more languages."

"It can solve most of the problems you encounter in Qiongzhou."

"If you like, over there you can see, for just 2 dollars, you can buy a device that connects to your phone for conversation."

"It can receive sound and also output sound."

"Paired with a Bluetooth headset, it lets you communicate between people in Qiongzhou even better."

Selling something?

"Thanks, I think I don't need it."

Lao Jieke took the card in hand and hurried away from here.

This woman wants me to spend money.

It must be a trick.

"Brothers, I got the card; I'll download it first, then we can see if this thing is really as awesome as they say."

Click to download.

The internet speed here is fast; in less than a minute, the download finished.

Then install.

A prompt for an unknown source then popped up; turn it off and continue.

Soon the Life Assistant was installed.

Bind your phone number and passport.

Soon a prompt to name the Little Assistant appeared.

Lao Jieke thought for a moment and entered Weiwei.

Soon Weiwei went online.

【Hi, hello, esteemed traveler, may I ask how I should address you?】

The other side's question sounded natural; for a moment, Lao Jieke thought he was talking to a person.

Not only him, but the Live Broadcast Room's fans were also shocked for a moment.

"My god, is she Artificial Intelligence? Are you sure there's no human behind?"

"That's amazing; does Qiongzhou give out such powerful Smart Assistants at the entrance?"

"Oh, buddy, I feel like I'm falling in love."

……………

Lao Jieke stared wide‑eyed, looking incredulous, staring at his phone.

"Whoa…"

"Are you this smart?"

【Yes, I am the latest version of the Life Assistant, my name is Weiwei, may I ask how to address you?】

"Ah, ah, sorry, that was really shocking just now; I am Jack, many people call me Lao Jieke."

【Alright, Lao Jieke, I detect you are at the exit gate; do you need to retrieve your luggage?】

"I need it, Weiwei, I don't know which way to go."

【It's simple; I've already started the terminal map for you; please follow my directions.】

【Is there anything else you need to resolve at the terminal?】

"Ah, I might also need to hail a taxi, book a hotel."

"After getting the luggage, can you navigate me to the pick‑up point?"

【Happy to serve you, but you may have more options, such as trying the subway, driverless bus, driverless taxi, or a car‑pool ride.】

【Regarding the hotel, do you have any requirements?】

Lao Jieke instantly detected two driverless entities.

"Weiwei, the driverless you mentioned, is it the same as what I think of as driverless?"

【Jack, you need to be clearer; what do you think it looks like?】

"For example, someone operating remotely, or it can only travel on dedicated lanes?"

Sorry, Lao Jieke, doing that would be too costly; Qiongzhou's driverless vehicles are barrier‑free, all operated autonomously by the vehicles.

No human assistance is needed.

Could it be that you've already reached the level of advanced intelligent driving?

No, Lao Jieke, I think you have a slight misunderstanding about Qiongzhou's driverless system.

Qiongzhou's driverless system is a product of autonomous driving technology combined with the Internet of Things.

Vehicles operating in Qiongzhou must be equipped with IoT Crystal Elements.

Vehicles can communicate with each other.

Cars without autonomous driving capability are restricted in Qiongzhou; other vehicles automatically monitor them and constantly check for violations.

Therefore, reckless driving in Qiongzhou incurs high costs.

So you don't need to worry about safety.

Any risk will be sensed by the vehicles immediately.

It's many times safer than human driving.

Internet of Things? What's that?

Isn't that just a concept?

How come things change when you get to Qiongzhou?

"Weiwei, what is the Internet of Things?"

It's the automatic connection of machines that have IDs.

It uses blockchain technology.

In Qiongzhou, all machines have IDs.

Shocked!!!!!

Lao Jieke was shocked, the live broadcast room was shocked……

"Are we living on the same Lanxing?"

"I feel like they and we are not living on the same Lanxing."

"Qiongzhou must have been built by aliens."

………

At that moment, Lao Jieke walked to the baggage claim area.

"Lao Jieke, may I be authorized to assist you with the baggage claim procedures?"

"Authorize, authorize, just let me see how it helps."

"Ding, please proceed with the normal baggage claim procedure and sign."

A signature panel popped up.

Lao Jieke signed; there was also a background on it, a baggage claim signature.

"Ding, your baggage has been ready; please collect it at gate A3."

Lao Jieke realized he seemed to be right at gate A3.

Soon a robot came over, pushing his luggage.

He was shocked again.

The robot also gave a voice reminder.

"Please check if your luggage is intact; if there are valuables, inspect them on the spot; if there is any loss, we will retrieve the surveillance footage to determine responsibility."

The luggage was in great condition, with not a single scratch.

Moreover, some dirt on his suitcase was also cleaned.

"You also helped clean the suitcase?"

"Yes, a clean suitcase lets you start off pleasantly."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Lao Jieke really felt a bit moved.

He had never been treated so gently before; all this came from a machine.

"Please don't be polite; is there anything else you need?"

Lao Jieke waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, you're great, you're really great; I'm happy to have met you."

"Meeting you makes me happy too, Mr. Jieke; I wish you a wonderful journey."

"If there's no problem, I'll get back to work."

"Goodbye!"
