Chapter 240: Wow, Future Technology!
"Ding-dong..."
At that moment, Ren heard the doorbell.
"Hello, I'm here."
He went straight to open it, and sure enough, it was Sakura.
"Sakura, you're very punctual," Ren said to Sakura with a smile.
Last night, Sakura had told him via Penguin that she would come over to play with him today during the holidays.
Ren also knew this in advance.
"On time?"
Sakura was a little embarrassed. She was still in bed.
They had agreed that she would go to Ren's house at 11 in the morning.
But it was already almost 12.
So, naturally, she was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, this counts as commuting time."
Ren said, "At least I give Yuta, Hiroki, and the others an hour of commuting time."
What he hated most in his previous life was that the damn boss didn't give them time to get to work and demanded they clock in on time.
Now that he is a boss, he naturally won't do these things that ruthlessly exploit employees.
So Ren told Yuka and the other two that they could take an hour to get to work.
That is, if they started work at 10, they only had to arrive at 11.
At first, Yuka and the other two didn't take it seriously, and they still arrived punctually at 10 in the morning.
Later, they were late for several days, but they found that Ren didn't blame them, so they started working at 11.
At the same time, they began to feel that Ren was the best mangaka in the world! What a deal! And with this schedule system, the work intensity is not high.
Although Ren is a bit strange, he is very easy to get along with.
They won't be scolded for being distracted at work, and Sensei Ren will cook for them.
The most important thing is that Ren often teaches them everything he knows!
Awesome! Sensei Ren! My Superman! Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta have secretly decided during this time that they are willing to go through fire and water for Sensei Ren in the future!
In fact, the most important thing is that Ren didn't have to rush to finish the manuscript, not to mention that he had three assistants: Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta.
He had plenty of time and didn't have to worry about the low quality of the manga.
So Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta could come later.
After all, even if Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta were asked to work 996 and 007, the performance and sales of Chainsaw Man would not increase much.
So it would be pointless to ask the three of them to work hard.
What Ren cares about most is their future.
So, let's just relax.
Sakura, a little helpless, said, "Ren, you have a good character. You are strict with yourself and lenient with others. Others have double standards for the outside world, but you have double standards for yourself."
"Sakura, you're the same."
Ren blinked and said, "You've always been like this, always so strict with yourself, but so good to others."
Sakura was stunned for a moment; she... was right.
"Sometimes you have to relax your demands," Ren told her in a low voice.
Then he smiled at Sakura.
"Well, then I'll relax today," Sakura chuckled and said.
"Huh? What's this?".
She came to the living room and saw what Ren had just exchanged from the system.
She looked at something that looked like a headset and asked with curiosity.
"This."
Ren picked it up carelessly and put it in Sakura's ear.
Sakura was stunned for a moment, but she still blushed and asked Ren to help her put on the headset.
"It seems to be like this... and then it starts."
After Ren helped Sakura install it, he started the [Simultaneous Interpreter] according to the item introduction he had just seen in the system.
"This is a simultaneous interpreter."
Then he smiled and said, "It can directly and simultaneously interpret foreign languages without distinction, for example...".
"Awesome, I'm slowly understanding everything!".
And in Sakura's ears, a mechanical voice came directly: "Awesome, I'm slowly understanding everything!".
"This is Spanish."
Ren blinked and said, "Currently, this simultaneous interpreter should be limited to the six working languages of the United Nations, but it's great, right?".
"Ren, where did you get this...?" Sakura asked with curiosity, listening to the function of the simultaneous interpreter.
This simultaneous interpreter... sounds very useful.
After all, most people don't even learn English well, and even with a good score on the university entrance exam, it can't be heard or used in real life.
How many people can really use it in daily life? Not to mention reaching the level of simultaneous interpretation.
And don't say that this simultaneous interpreter includes the six official languages of the United Nations.
It is very convenient for some company employees who have to trade cross-border.
"I bought it," Ren said openly. "And these two, they were all bought."
"And these two?"
Sakura looked again at the two objects in Ren's hand and asked with curiosity.
"This one."
Ren took a pair of square-framed glasses with a metallic texture and pressed them to turn them on.
"Sir, nice to meet you. My name is Ai. Please allow me to enter your biometric data for your convenience."
Suddenly, the glasses emitted a magnetic voice.
"I am the AI smart butler."
Ren replied, "Okay, enter it."
"I have entered the iris data of both eyes. Please enter your fingerprint data."
The AI smart butler continued.
Ren entered his fingerprint data following the instructions.
"I have entered your biometric data. How should I address you?" asked the smart butler respectfully.
"Call me Ren Amamiya or Ren," Ren replied naturally.
"In that case, I will call you Mr. Amamiya. Should I adjust the conversation mode to the single bone conduction conversation?" asked the AI smart butler.
"Not for now..." Ren replied in amazement.
I must say that this future technology is really impressive...
Why does this AI smart butler feel so human? Will technology develop so quickly in the next fifty years? Speaking of which, the items that this [Futures Market (Master)] will open in the next fifty years, in other words, aren't they equivalent to the technological level of forty years from his previous life? After forty years of technological development in his previous life, was he able to develop such advanced things?
It's truly incredible.
"This... this..."
Sakura felt incredible and said, "I feel like these glasses seem very powerful...".
"Miss, thank you for your compliment."
The AI smart butler, Ai, replied to Sakura and said.
"Sir, I have helped you detect nearby electronic devices via radio. Can I help you connect to your network?".
In fact, he asked again, "After connecting them, I just need your command and I can help you turn them on directly when they are connected to the power source."
"So powerful."
Ren felt that these glasses were really impressive. Why did he feel... a bit like the smart glasses that Iron Man gave to Spider-Man in the Marvel movie he had seen in his previous life?
Ai, the AI smart butler, also has some of Jarvis's style.
Couldn't he believe that human technology was so powerful fifty years later?
This is definitely like a human, not like an artificial idiot like the system.
Sakura also exclaimed, "It really feels like a déjà vu of future technology. Ren, where did you buy them?".
"Sakura, do you like them?" Ren smiled and said. "How about I buy you a pair when the time comes and give them to you as a gift?".
Anyway, there are still some left in the system's mall, and he can continue to exchange them during this month.
"Ah... Don't spend money on them," Sakura said, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, for me these glasses are just a small amount of money!".
Ren patted his chest and said.
He now has more than a million points, and these AI Smart Butler Glasses cost only 70,000 points, which is not very expensive.
The only thing that can be considered expensive is the [Digital Life Chip] he has in his hand.
It cost him 200,000 points to buy it.
He just wants to be new.
"Well..."
Sakura looked at Ren and said, "Then I'll prepare a gift for you when the time comes."
You can't just let Ren pay, gifts are relative.
Like feelings...
"Alright," Ren said with a smile.
"What do you think of this? What is this?"
Sakura looked at the last chip in Ren's hand, which looked like a computer CPU but didn't look like a CPU at all, and asked with curiosity.
"This..."
Ren thought about it and said, "It's useless for now, so I won't introduce it."
"Well."
Seeing this, Sakura stopped asking.
"Well, it's noon, let's go out to eat. By the way, Ai, switch to bone conduction mode."
Ren didn't take off his glasses and said directly, "So, where do you want to go to play today on vacation? I can accompany you all day."
"Yes, Mr. Amamiya."
Ai, the AI smart butler, switched the mode directly, and now only Ren can hear what he says.
"Actually, I want to try the popular escape room lately..." Sakura said with enthusiasm.
"Escape from the secret room?" Ren thought for a moment and said. "Alright! Today I will risk my life to accompany Miss Sakura!".
Upon hearing the name "Miss Sakura," Sakura's face became a little strange.
She suddenly remembered Makima's name in Chainsaw Man, which also included the word "Miss."
Speaking of Makima, she really wanted to know... What is her true identity?
