The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 132
Advertisement
A reporter in the crowd raised his hand with excitement. Yang Dao saw him and came back to the podium. He asked with a smile, "Hello, are you done checking the features?"
The reporter spoke, "Yes, President Feng, I want to ask you, is this mobile assistant artificially intelligent technology?'
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "I wish it was, unfortunately, for the time being, it is limited to the primary level." His words just fell when a lady raised her hand.
Yang Dao nodded to her and the lady spoke. "Hello, President Feng, I am Rosa Gears from Tech Daily. Firstly, congratulations on the success of your products. I wish you all the best for LISA as well."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Thank you, please ask your question." he had a smile stuck on his face.
Rosa asked, "What do you mean by LISA being a primary level artificial intelligence?"
The boy replied, "This is my personal way of thinking, dividing an AI into three stages. The primary level is LISA mobile OS. The program has no capability of self-execution nor can it decide. The program will follow your commands. For instance, if you want it to show you the mailbox, your mailbox will be opened but you will have to manage the content by ourself. As for medium level, the program will help you manage your mails, as you command it to. For example, if you want to delete stuff then just tell the program to delete it and done."
He took a pause, noticing that everyone was looking at him. He said, "The higher level of artificial intelligence will ask for your commands on its own initiative. You received an email, it will ask you how to respond to it. You are doing research work, it will help you manage your notes. Help you perform calculations, and so on. The applications and potential are limitless." His words were agreed upon by almost everyone present.
Nothing is ever completed without an obstacle. Soon a person raised his hand. Yang Dao nodded to him and said, "Hello, I am Richard Cosmos. I report for Crypto Daily. I have three questions for Young President Feng, may I?"
Yang Dao nodded, and the reporter started. "A few days ago, Young President Feng was embroiled in a brawl with a few other youngsters, the video went viral and the whole nation supported you, the government even imposed some policies to suppress the Crypto nation citizens here. Was that planned?" his words were a retaliating shower of bullets against Yang Dao's icing bombardment. The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.

On the internet, comments paused, and then they restarted, "Shameless Cryptonian. Always thinking they are bigger and higher than the rest of the people in the world."
"Agreed. Did they not see how that girl was being insulted and how their students acted like rabid dogs?"
Suddenly the crypto nation people also started spitting profanities, "Humph, you people have no insight. Also, the things this guy is selling to you, we already have it."Hey why bother with these hilly billies. I want to watch how this kid will react to Mr. Cosmos?"
They even placed bets on the answers. Yang Dao on the podium smiled and said, "You say that the fight was planned? How do you think I did that? Maybe paid him money? Did him some other favor? Right? Otherwise, how would a proud citizen of your Crypto Nation act like a rabid dog in heat?"
The people on the internet froze again. They did not expect the boy to come back so strongly. Before they could react, however, Yang Dao spoke again, "As for the governmental policies, it is not only The Jewel Nation that has chosen them, even the allied nation got inspired by how your national policies and adapted them. Do you mean to say that you are trying to suppress the world by doing this? If I am correct even the nations Crypto nation claims to be an ally with are given the same treatment there as the rest right? "
Someone on the internet commented, "This boy is awesome. I will definitely support his products. Hahaha, these are all high caliber ammunition he has."
Soon a lot of such comments followed, "Yeah, he is a Bomber after all."
"Supporting him means we join him. So what are we? Bombing Buddies?" someone gave a random name to the people supporting Yang Dao. The next moment everyone slammed it with upvotes.
They even called out the crypto nation netizens, who were even placing bets just now. Yang Dao asked, "Also before you deny you are not arrogant, tell me why are you not wearing the armband? Does this not mean that you place yourself above the government of my country?"
He made the reporter lose face to a great degree. This event was for his product launch and not propaganda, but if someone wanted to come and smear it with trash, then he had no qualms about teaching them a good lesson. When all was said and done, Richard Cosmos could only take out the red armband, wear it around his right arm and leave the venue, otherwise, he might get deported by the authorities.

The people kept asking questions, and they were all answered as well. In the end, Yang Dao said, "Before we end this segment, I would say, any reporters except for the crypto nation can take these mobile phones back with them. You can test this thing to its limit, write a review so that we grow and improve our shortcomings. Also, I suggest you not hand it over to anyone for an in-depth inspection. That will render it useless."
A lady stood up and said, "President Feng, did you adapt this policy from Crypto nation as well?" The boy nodded to her with a smile on his face.
It may be called adaptation, but the message was simple and crude, 'We don't give a fuck about Crypto nation.'
Yang Dao said, "Now after a break of five minutes, the Dao Technologies will hold a launch for another product." his words made the media stunned.
They all raised their hands asking what is the next product and blah blah blah. The boy, however, said, "Hahaha, calm down please, the next product will be shown to you in a few minutes. You will obviously know what it is. Please relax for the time being and refresh your moods."
With that, the boy walked off the podium and came to Feng Yun. He asked in a low voice, "What do you think will be the impact of breaking up with that Crypto reporter?"
Feng Yun smile and said, "Doesn't matter, we are not selling in their market anyway, as for our market, we will know when you announce the release date. The product is good, just like hotcakes in a bakery. Don't worry it will sell."
Yang Dao nodded and after a rest of few minutes, he received a call. The caller was Icarus, he informed him that the car is now ready for the world. Mary walked up to the podium and said, "May I have your attention, please? Ladies and Gentlemen, for the second product launch, please step out of the building. I apologize for the inconvenience, but the product cannot be bought inside the building."
The people became curious and after the impression cast over them by LISA mobile OS, they were curious about the second product. So, they all walked outside the edifice on Mary's invitation. Outside they found an ice blue-colored car parked right in front of the entrance. They all knew this car, Torque Motors, Commuter. It was the best vehicle in its class last year.
Yang Dao walked outside along with Feng Yun. he asked the reporters, "Do you all find something different in this car?"
The reporters were confused. Suddenly Yang Dao said, "LISA WAKE UP." and the next moment the car's headlights flashed and a sweet voice sounded, "Oh, hello master."
The reporters were shocked, the netizens were shocked. They had not expected this at all. Yang Dao gauged their reactions and said, "This vehicle is like the mobile phone you own. It can drive itself, this vehicle is road tested by Icarus and Senior Ray. They both worked very hard on writing the algorithms, they will also be the ones to answer your questions. As to check out whether or not this is a genuine product. How about you all take a test drive inside?"
The reporters did not share his enthusiasm. Yang Dao did not understand why nobody wanted to ride. Suddenly Feng Yun came forward. "How about an interview with me over the recent changes and waves? The venue is this car. You can choose for yourself." with those words she walked up to the car and sat down inside.
One reporter did not dare to delay and grasped the opportunity. His teammate also followed and sat down in the front passenger seat. A few seconds later, the car moved. All the people shifted the camera to the front seat where they all witnessed the steering wheel slowly turn and the car moved out onto the road. They could only regret not being able to grasp the chance.
Now the first experience in the driverless car was hoarded by one channel. You can imagine the amount of attention they will get after this. The reporters who were left behind cast their gaze at Yang Dao, but the boy just smiled at them with not a single word. He just left the Q&A section for Icarus and Ray to handle.

Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope.

The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
