Chapter 1165
Naoko Akagi: What do you mean I'm suited to playing basketball?
拍干净手上的灰尘，崔命嘴角的笑意藏都藏不住，揍了一顿六分仪源堂，他的心情好得离谱，连空气中残留的垃圾桶臭味，都没能冲淡这份愉悦。他轻轻啧了一声，心底暗自感慨：哎暴力，真是可怕。
But the next second, that feeling was replaced by an overwhelming sense of pleasure, and he couldn't help but add in his mind: But damn, it works really well!
Choi Myung whistled lightly, his steps becoming much lighter. He was extremely happy at the moment, his whole body exuding a relaxed aura—after all, dealing with Rokubungi Gendo using violent means was just too damn satisfying!
"Oh, it's rare to have such a good mood." Cui Ming raised his hand to touch his chin, his smile widening. He then took out his phone, dialed the number of Ikari Yui's school, and casually yet politely asked for leave for Ikari Yui. After hanging up, he turned and walked into the research institute to continue his unfinished research.
Upon entering the research lab, Naoko Akagi was already wearing a white lab coat and waiting beside the instruments. Cui Ming walked up to her and casually joked, "Akagi, are you really not planning to play basketball?"
"."
Upon hearing this, Naoko Akagi paused, slowly turned her head, and gave Choi Myung a speechless look, her eyes full of disdain as if to say, "What nonsense are you spouting?" After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, her tone flat but tinged with helplessness: "Why do I play basketball?"
“I feel your surname is quite suitable,” Cui Ming said earnestly, but a mischievous smile was hidden in his eyes.
Naoko Akagi's lips twitched, her speechlessness deepening as she thought to herself: Don't think I don't know what you're talking about just because I don't read manga.
Seeing that Akagi Naoko's expression was growing colder, Cui Ming quickly waved his hand and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Just kidding, just kidding, I was just trying to ease the tension."
"Fine, let's begin." Naoko Akagi didn't bother arguing with him, turned her gaze back to the instruments, and resumed her previous indifferent tone, preparing to delve into the research.
"Alright." Cui Ming also put away his joking expression, took out the relevant data, and his tone became serious. "As you said before, we started to check the data of the supercomputer, etc. There are some problems with your data. Take a look here."
Hearing Cui Ming's words, Akagi Ritsuko, who was standing nearby, quickly came over. Her face showed no anger, but rather a serious expression. After all, she knew that although Cui Ming seemed casual at times, he was a genuine high-IQ talent.
Of course, Cui Ming knew in his heart that he was not a born genius. The reason he had such abilities was simply because he had reincarnated many times, seen and learned a lot, and accumulated a lot of knowledge over time. Even if he was not a born genius, in these research-related matters, Cui Ming's rigor and professional level, based on the experience accumulated over many reincarnations, were more than enough to support this research, and even better than many professional researchers.
The research progressed smoothly, and Ritsuko Akagi's previously tense lips gradually relaxed, her complexion softened, and the seriousness between her brows faded, replaced by a sense of ease. The time she had spent working with Choi Myung had inexplicably brought her joy—Choi Myung, seemingly carefree, was exceptionally reliable at work, with clear thinking and efficient actions, making their collaboration remarkably smooth. She didn't need to exert herself much; after all, Choi Myung was truly excellent at teamwork.
While her hands continued moving, Ritsuko Akagi's gaze kept drifting uncontrollably towards Choi Myung beside her. Her eyes were gentle, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness. Each time she stole a few seconds' glance, she would quickly look away, pretending to focus on the instruments and data in front of her, afraid that Choi Myung would discover her little actions.
Meanwhile, Cui Ming was completely absorbed in his work, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes focused and meticulous, his fingers moving rapidly across the instruments, meticulously checking each set of data, his expression incredibly serious. In fact, he had already noticed that Akagi Naoko had been secretly glancing at him, but he didn't bother to point it out—compared to that, the supercomputer he was researching was the most important thing.
At this moment, Naoko Akagi was focused on studying the institute's supercomputer, which was the core hub of the entire research, carrying countless key data. Cui Ming knew that if this thing had any problems, it would be a huge trouble, and all subsequent research would be put on hold, or even cause more serious problems.
The thought of supercomputers made Cui Ming's thoughts drift back to the past, and he secretly complained to himself: I was really disgusted by that damned Star Guide AI Mary Sue!
That Mary Sue AI is absolutely outrageous. It's really something else. It secretly put all the weapons that the Star Guides were researching into the simulation training, just to test which weapon would be useful to it and which would make it more "dazzling". Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.
Despite his complaints, Cui Ming had to admit that he was actually grateful to this damn AI. If it weren't for all those messy simulations and deliberately tricky scenarios she created, he wouldn't have been trained into the strictest "father" of the Star Guides, nor would he have developed such keen insight and solid practical skills.
Thinking of this, Cui Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself: That Star Guide guy, he doesn't seem to know about all the despicable things Mary Sue has done, right? If he knew that the weapon he had painstakingly researched was being used as her "tool" by an AI, I wonder how angry he would be.
Thoughts flashed by, and Cui Ming immediately regained his composure, focusing all his attention back on the supercomputer data in front of him. His fingertips continued to tap rapidly on the keyboard, and his expression returned to its previous seriousness—right now, he should focus on doing the research in front of him well; if something went wrong, it would only cause more trouble later.
Ritsuko Akagi finished checking the data in her hand, looked up at Cui Ming, and saw that he was still focused. Her eyes softened even more, and she asked softly, "The data here has been checked. Shall we proceed according to the original plan? If there are any adjustments needed, just let me know."
Cui Ming didn't even look up, his fingers flying across the keyboard: "No need to adjust, just follow the original plan. If we encounter any abnormal data, we'll stop and check it immediately. We absolutely cannot be careless."
Naoko Akagi nodded slightly upon hearing this and remained silent, though her gaze would occasionally drift unconsciously to Cui Ming, secretly thinking: "If I could continue cooperating with him like this, it wouldn't be so bad." (End of Chapter)
