Chapter 313: Exhausting All Means

Sun Cheng held the steering wheel, driving the car quickly along the highway.

He was in a very good mood right now, humming a tune, and his peripheral vision frequently darted to the rearview mirror, his eyes shimmering with tenderness.

However, although his attention was not fully focused, this did not in the slightest affect his steady control of the car as he drove toward his destination.

Although Sun Cheng had only been driving for a few months, ever since he bought his first car, he had driven at least two or three hundred kilometers every day, sometimes even double that; his total mileage on the road had long since exceeded ten thousand kilometers, so he could be considered a qualified veteran driver.

It certainly could not be the recent achievements of his company that caused his spirits to soar at this moment, especially since his personality had become increasingly dull.

To tell the truth, although Cybertron Technology was the first, and also the most crucial, piece Sun Cheng had placed in the real world, its success would indeed help Sun Cheng better conquer the Transformers Great Universe.

However, this was actually a reverse multiple-choice question.

Because in the Transformers Great Universe, Sun Cheng had already achieved some results and had even established a force of his own.

Holding a large amount of black technology from the mechanical civilization—Cybertron—in his hands, he knew better than anyone that the success of the Cybertron Technology Company he founded in the real world was an inevitable result; it was merely a matter of time.

Therefore, the reason he was in such high spirits at this moment was naturally not because the company's cloud storage product had finally made a breakthrough, but because of the young beauty sitting quietly in the passenger seat, holding a Mechanical Dog.

Ye Qi!

"... What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that they were about to exit the highway, Sun Cheng couldn't help but relax his mind a little more, finally opening his mouth to ask Ye Qi, who was sitting in the passenger seat with her head lowered, fiddling with the Mechanical Dog.

To keep her here, he had spent a lot of effort recently, even more than the energy he had spent on the company.

Ever since she graduated from university, Ye Qi had stayed in Shencheng to develop her career; she had been there for two or three years. Since becoming a streamer, her income might not have been comparable to those big internet celebrities in the circle, but because of her natural beauty and her mastery of both singing and dancing, she naturally had fans who liked and followed her.

Sun Cheng estimated that Ye Qi's monthly income was no less than ten thousand yuan, and she had long been financially independent; it was not easy to make her give up the familiar Shencheng to develop in Nandu.

For this, he had also racked his brains.

A few days ago, under the pretext of taking her to tour Nandu and his company, Sun Cheng had kept her for a few more days after she finished gathering with her streamer friends in her circle.

During these few days, apart from attending a development meeting at Cybertron Technology, Sun Cheng had handed most of the company's work to Wang Lu, focusing on taking Ye Qi out for a good time in Nandu for two days, and later dragging her to the company for a look; in total, he had delayed her for four full days.

Behind the scenes, however, he had used those four days to secretly select and purchase a villa in the Xixia District.

At the thought of this, the smile on the corners of Sun Cheng's mouth grew a little wider.

The villa he chose was no ordinary residence; he was now fully confident that he could keep Ye Qi here.

Her fair, tender hands gently stroked the Mechanical Dog in her arms. In this sweltering June weather, even though the car's air conditioning was on full blast, the cold touch of the metal felt exceptionally refreshing.

Ye Qi clearly liked the Mechanical Dog that Sun Cheng had given her. Hearing his voice, she didn't stop stroking it, but she did look up at him with a faint smile on her face.

"... I'm not thinking about anything. A-Cheng, is Xiaobai really a product of your company?"

After asking the question, Ye Qi lifted the Mechanical Dog she was holding, turned its cheeks toward herself, and lowered her head to stare at its pair of azure electronic eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Sun Cheng smiled slightly, steered the car steadily off the highway, and then replied, "Why? Is it not easy to use?"

"No, it's more like..." Ye Qi shook her head hurriedly, her nose tip brushing gently against the Mechanical Dog's nose, before she turned her head to look at Sun Cheng again. "It's more like it's incredible. It can automatically search for Wi-Fi and connect to the internet, it can act as a mobile shooting device, it can store images, and it can even emit colorful lights..."

"Unh-huh..."

Humming through his nose, a trace of pride flashed in Sun Cheng's eyes.

This Mechanical Dog was a bodyguard he had custom-designed for Ye Qi's safety, and he had naturally put a lot of thought into it to ensure she would keep it by her side.

In addition to its impressive combat capabilities, Sun Cheng had also added many small features to it, most of which were things Ye Qi could use in her work.

She would never even imagine that, besides having the ability to protect her, this little guy was also a spy Sun Cheng had planted by her side.

As long as it was within a certain range of Ye Qi, it would activate a covert surveillance system, continuously filming Ye Qi and feeding all the captured data back to a server Sun Cheng had installed in Base No. 1.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to expose these various underhanded methods himself.

Driving into a high-end residential complex with perfect security facilities, Sun Cheng drove toward the villa he had just acquired while not forgetting to reply, "Xiaobai is indeed a product our company is currently testing. I mentioned it to you before, right? But to make it more convenient for you to use, I used a bit of authorization to add some features that are more suitable for you!"

"Is that so? Then I'll give you credit for your thoughtfulness!" Ye Qi said with a sweet smile at him upon hearing this. "It wasn't in vain that I've been doting on you all these years!"

She fiddled with the Mechanical Dog in her arms, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she hurriedly asked again, "I almost forgot to ask you. Your company... um, Cybertron Technology... doesn't it deal in cloud storage and mobile hard drives? How come it designs robots like Xiaobai?"

"I never said my company only deals in cloud storage and mobile hard drives. In fact, we are an enterprise that focuses on intelligent machinery; cloud storage and even mobile hard drives were just the products we launched in the early stages!"

While he was answering, the car had already turned several corners in the complex and arrived just in front of a three-story detached villa with an attic.

"We're here!"

Reducing his speed even further, Sun Cheng rolled down the car window, drove the car a little closer, and then took a key from his pocket and pressed it toward the locked garage of the villa in front.

The next moment, the rolling shutter door of the garage, which was equipped with a smart lock, began to rise slowly.

Just as he was about to drive the car into the garage, suddenly, Xiao Wu, which Sun Cheng kept in his inner pocket, began to vibrate violently.
