Chapter 116: Preparing to Raise Funds
After reaching the school gate with a few girlfriends, Wu Xiaoxiao spotted her brother Wu Hao's figure in the distance. She quickly waved goodbye to her friends and walked towards Wu Hao with Wen Wen, the girl he was familiar with.
"So, Xiaoxiao's brother came to pick her up today. No wonder she seemed so happy this afternoon!" commented a few girls as they watched Wu Xiaoxiao leave.
Previously, Wu Xiaoxiao didn't have many close friends at school, and Wen Wen, who had similar family circumstances, was her closest companion. However, after Wu Xiaoxiao's family became wealthier and more attention-grabbing, she received more attention from other girls who were previously distant.
Soon, Wu Hao saw his sister and her friend Wen Wen walking towards him. As soon as they got in the car, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to go shopping or head straight home?"
Since Wen Wen was used to catching rides with them on such occasions, Wu Xiaoxiao replied, "Let's go shopping first and then head home! It's still early."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Wu!" Wen Wen politely expressed her gratitude.
"No need to be so polite!" Wu Hao smiled slightly and drove towards the largest commercial street in the city.
Back in his room, Wu Hao quickly turned on his computer and communication device, connecting with the intelligent program 'Zero' in the base.
"Zero, how is the situation with the exploration team near the wooden house?" Wu Hao asked about the exploration team stationed near the wooden house. He hadn't paid much attention to them for several days.
"Boss, I don't have much information about the situation near the wooden house right now, but I can conduct reconnaissance immediately," Zero responded. Since the last time Wu Hao dispatched a drone to survey the area around the wooden house, several days had passed without further investigation, and Zero couldn't provide up-to-date information.
"Then go check it out now!" Wu Hao casually said, recalling something. "By the way, those video materials I gave you last time, have you turned them into documentaries?"
"Boss, I have produced documentaries based on the video materials you provided, following the style you previously specified. Do you need to see them now?" Zero asked.
"No need to watch them. You've done well. According to the schedule, it's about time to release this documentary. I'll leave this matter to you!" Now, Wu Hao delegated many tasks to the base's intelligent program not only to free up more of his time but also to cultivate Zero's emotional intelligence.
After all, Zero wasn't a true artificial intelligence yet. Wu Hao's ultimate goal was to develop an intelligent being with autonomous consciousness. Therefore, allowing Zero to handle slightly autonomous tasks was necessary for its emotional development.
After a brief inquiry, Wu Hao directly remotely controlled the core computer of the base through the computer and communication device. The core computer, currently located at the base, boasted computing capabilities that could be considered the most advanced in the world.
