Chapter 157: The Difference Engine and the Popularization of Artificial Intelligence

Healing the hidden trauma in Tsunade's heart and convincing her to take on the role of Hokage was by no means an easy task, nor could it be accomplished with just a few words.

Tsunade did not immediately accept Naruto's invitation, yet she did not offer a harsh refusal either. After a brief moment of silent contemplation, she slowly said, "Allow me to consider this matter."

Seeing this, Naruto shifted his request, sincerely inviting Tsunade to reside in the Land of Waves for a period and take a proper look around. After a brief moment of thought, Tsunade agreed.

Following this, the three of them quietly ate their food, and the atmosphere grew rather awkward for a while. At that moment, Wu Wei's phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he recognized Sun Yu's number and realized it must be Meng Ran calling. Without trying to hide it from the other two, he answered, and Meng Ran's voice duly came through from the other end.

Moreover, knowing that his future energies could no longer be entirely devoted to the Institute of Science and Technology as before, a new vice-director was appointed to the institute, a position taken up by Xu Guangqi.

Realizing that tomorrow they would rendezvous with the main force of the Liao army, Chen Ao tossed and turned all night, finding it difficult to fall asleep. Early the next morning, the heavy dark circles under his eyes genuinely startled Xuan Ning. Believing that Chen Ao was worrying about how to escape, Xuan Ning could only offer a few gentle words of comfort.

Hearing this, Chen Ao froze, dazed for a long while. He truly had not considered this aspect. Despite knowing that so many figures from the pugilistic world were involved in this affair, he had never once thought about getting himself entangled in it.

Immediately afterwards, another vampire viscount bared his fangs, licked the corner of his mouth, and spoke with an eager expression.

Furthermore, the most crucial part was that the meat of this magical beast differed from ordinary meat he had consumed before. Eating too much ordinary meat would quickly bring a feeling of fullness, whereas consuming the meat of the magical beast transformed directly into pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, ensuring one never felt too full to eat more, no matter the quantity.

The Macaque King was also profoundly impressed by the Great Sage's divine skills, capacity, and strategic intellect, feeling deep down in his heart that he truly fell short compared to this stone monkey born of heaven and earth.

The Golden-Horned Boy accepted it and, taking the Silver-Horned Boy with him, headed straight for Mount Yalong. Only after the two boys had walked far away did Lord Taishang heave a heavy sigh of relief, then stepped upon a propitious cloud and flew toward Mount Cuiyun.

After passing through a gloomy tunnel, the group finally arrived before a metal door belonging to the underground fortress, prompting Wang Kaixuan to speak up in immediate astonishment.

"Can this fat old fool speak like a civilized human being? What does he mean by calling it 'this sort of trash'?" Master Jiu, having long been accustomed to acting overbearing and relying on his son being the magistrate of Miyun, paid no heed whatsoever to Zhu Qijun and Zhang You and their companions.

He had originally thought it was an order, but it turned out to be a message sent by that "Brother Pig in Society" who had previously spent five hundred to buy three pairs of shoes from him.

Guided by Liu Yang's negotiations, he followed the boss up to a private room on the upper level. Pushing the door open, he found two figures already seated at the table.

He had originally expected the first level to contain monsters of at most level three, but to his surprise, level-four zombies had actually appeared.

Snow did not frequently visit this city. Located in the south and sitting at a relatively low altitude, snow was a luxury for the people of C City. Every year, flocks of locals would fly up north to catch a glimpse of the boundless scenery where "thousands of miles are locked in ice, and ten thousand miles are fluttering with snow."

"You had better take good care of it. If you lose it, I will not spare you," Feng Liyan said in an overbearing and forceful tone.

Old Dingtou had never mentioned these matters to Qian Yang because Qian Yang's techniques had not yet reached the level where he could study discarded raw jade stones. The last time Qian Yang asked Old Dingtou why he had chosen that seemingly mediocre pine-patterned stone back then, he had merely brushed the question aside with a casual remark.

The most critical factor was that reporting it to the police right now might very well result in them treating it as a false alarm, or alternatively, prompting premature action that would easily alert the enemy.

Otherwise, pinned down by that pair of ice-cold eyes, Wang Bo felt a strong impulse to slip away.

Liu Yang was a competent subordinate and an equally competent businessman; although he wore a green hat of betrayal on his head, one had to acknowledge his business acumen.

A moment later, the Heavenly Dog's entire body finally erupted with a powerful spiritual radiance, and opening wide its jaws, it spat Zhang Chu out in a single breath.
