Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

...

A group of assistants stood up, watching from afar as their supervisor was invited into the carriage, chatted for more than ten minutes, and then walked out with a confused look, returning to them.

"Uh... Expert Bai Mo indeed helped us optimize the algorithm.

"He roughly explained the principle.

"He broke our algorithm into seventy-eight steps.

"Normally, you complete the first step to know what to do for the second step.

"Finish the second step to know what to do for the third step.

"But...he used a supercomputer, not caring about computing power. He created a predictive algorithm that massively predicts what needs to be done for the second, third, fourth steps...and every step thereafter, solving every possible outcome in advance.

"It’s like playing chess; some see three moves, some see five moves, and he used a supercomputer to see the whole game?"

As Cai Xiaozhen spoke, the assistants all frowned.

The principle is relatively simple.

But the specific implementation is very baffling.

It gives the feeling that Cai Xiaozhen is bragging, making it hard for them to believe.

Cai Xiaozhen sat down on a small stool, opened his laptop, his email, and the newly received source code file, showing it to the assistants.

The source code file was enormous, scrolling down with the wheel, taking quite a while.

The assistants all gathered around, seeing familiar fragments in this code...pasted from their source code.

But the rest are entirely new code.

The kind of single statements they understand, but when connected, they seem obscure.

"What is this, did he handcraft a state machine?"

"This part, like a signal system. See, this class is input, this one is output."

"Is this function an ant colony algorithm?"

"What is this framework like?"

"Uh...let’s not look at it for now."

"Who’s major in mathematics? Old Xu, can you understand it?"

"Uh..."

Old Xu seemed bewildered.

"A bit...can understand a bit...uh...a bit like the secant method..."

"And what about this?"

"Gauss elimination? A bit different, the transformation is quite strong..."

The assistants were all confused.

"Brother Cai, can you forward a copy to me?"

"Give me a copy too, to admire later?"

"Isn’t this confidential?"

Cai Xiaozhen himself was also confused.

"The brain of Ancient Immortal has this computing power. The confidentiality level of this is not high."

Some assistants were still skeptical.

"How long did it take him to write this segment?

"Brother Cai borrowed a supercomputer, sent him the source code, received the interface from the supercomputer on our end. Excluding testing and deployment, he took...less than twenty minutes?"

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions strange.

They developed the previous program, a dozen people, working day and night for over two months!

Is the gap between people really so large?

They all chuckled, changing the topic.

"Sigh, does this mean our City Defense Array, with these four hundred forty-five array stakes, will be completely finished soon?"

"Haha, it really seems so!"

They each secretly glanced at the distant official vehicle, looking at the black car window, their eyes drifting, feeling very unreal.

"Is this what an expert is?"

"Don’t be fooled by the expert sitting in the car, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking cola comfortably; when problems arise, the expert can truly solve them for you!"

"A human Spark Level scientist?"

"Spark, scientists are understandable. But if you say he is human, I suddenly have some doubts!"

...

Dusk falls.

A convoy of official cars drove on the road.

Bai Mo sat in the carriage, feeling quite speechless.

"Do we really have to stay at a hotel?

"Can’t we go back to West University?"

Wu Qingyun at the back solemnly shook her head.

"The Array Team needs to reach the corresponding location at the first moment when the purple air comes from the east tomorrow morning, so we need to find a hotel nearby to stay.

"Expert Bai Mo, you also need to stay at the hotel!

"What if we stay at West University and are found by the enemies of Sequence Six?"

Bai Mo frowned, not knowing what to say.

Swipe...

In the twilight hotel parking lot.

Cars stopped one by one.

When Bai Mo, Old Zhang, Wu Qingyun, and Fang Xiaoyu got out of the car, they saw Cai Xiaozhen and his dozen assistants had already prepared beside them, each looking at Bai Mo, their eyes full of admiration!

They used that code for an afternoon and found it incredibly useful!

They studied those algorithms for an afternoon and basically didn’t understand them!

At this moment, looking at Bai Mo again, their eyes were extremely eager.

It felt like the task of protecting Expert Bai Mo was simply extremely glorious!

"Come, Expert Bai Mo, walk in the middle.

"The rest of us, scatter according to the rehearsed formation. Guard front, rear, and sides."

Bai Mo felt extremely awkward, and then, under the cover of a scattered formation, walked out of the parking lot and into the hotel lobby.

The formation arranged by Cai Xiaozhen was actually quite effective, blocking all directions appropriately without attracting attention, just right.

Upon reaching the hotel lobby, however, Cai Xiaozhen somehow managed to check in without using an ID card or taking photos, taking them upstairs to their rooms.

...

Not long after the group left.

A man with a full beard came to the hotel front desk.

"Miss, what’s the best room type in our hotel?"

This person was the streamer Hu Shanjiu!

In his mind, Ancient Immortal was perplexed.

"Are you crazy? How much money do you have in total? You’re staying in the best room type?"

Hu Shanjiu just chatted with the hotel front desk without much explanation.

He had long noticed the convoy earlier, and also noticed the group of people earlier.

He discovered that the walking formation of that group was very special...appeared casual, but from any direction, they could block the person in the middle.

Plus, he recognized Cai Xiaozhen!

Needless to say, that group must be protecting a big shot from the Immortal Committee.

"What? One night costs fifteen hundred and eighty?"

He grimaced, took out his phone and ID, and checked in.

Since there’s a big shot from the Immortal Committee, the big shot must stay in the most expensive room type and must bring bodyguards!

He just stayed with the big shot, so if there was any danger, causing a commotion, the big shot’s bodyguards would help him solve it!

"Heh."

He admired his own cleverness, grinning widely.

In his mind, Ancient Immortal still didn’t understand.

"Are you insane? How much money do you have? Spending fifteen hundred eighty just for one night?"

Hu Shanjiu took photos and received the room card, heading towards the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, he looked at the golden room card in his hand.

How much money?

Anyway, he’s a person about to die, what’s the point of saving money?

When close to death, enjoying oneself, isn’t that good?

...

"Wow, this, isn’t bad at all."

In the resplendent guest room, lights were on brightly.

Under the crystal chandelier, the dining table was littered with dishes, piled with bones.

Croissant lay in the master’s arms, covering its belly, squinting its eyes, licking the oil on its mouth.

Fang Xiaoyu and Wu Qingyun also ate happily, slumped back in their chairs.

Bai Mo glanced around this opulent guest room, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Luckily this place is near the suburbs.

"If it were in the city center, how much would this night cost? What a waste!"

Fang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.

"Expert Bai Mo, the money in your account couldn’t be spent in a lifetime, stop calculating these things."

After speaking, she got up and left, returning to her own room.

Bai Mo awkwardly smiled, looking at Wu Qingyun.

"You should also go back to your room to rest."

Only to see Wu Qingyun shake her head.

"I will sleep right here."

Bai Mo was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean? Isn’t this biggest and best room mine? Where do I go?"

Wu Qingyun shook her head.

"You’re sleeping here too.

"I need to protect you closely."

Bai Mo looked down, exchanging puzzled glances with the Croissant in his arms.

This...is this appropriate?

Croissant’s eyes widened in even more disbelief.

"Aow?"

How could the master sleep here?

The master should go back to Fox Mountain to sleep with it and its brothers!

Wu Qingyun seemed to realize Bai Mo misunderstood.

"This guest room is a suite, with three rooms."

Ah?

Only then did Bai Mo sigh in relief, laughing out loud.

"Oh, then no problem!

"You sleep in the big one, I’ll take the small one."

Bai Mo didn’t care about room size, simply showing some gentlemanly conduct.

Yet saw Wu Qingyun seriously nodding.

"Very reasonable!

"In the conventional thinking, you should stay in the master bedroom.

"You staying in the secondary bedroom is perfect to fool any potential assassins!"
