Chapter 214
At Storm Group.
Everyone was busy preparing for the official launch of their new smartphone.
Ben, in his office, played the love simulation game produced by Leo’s company and couldn’t help but laugh, “As expected.”
He had known for a while that isabella possessed some kind of precognitive ability.
So, when he heard that Leo’s company was developing a love game, he had a hunch.
This game would likely bear some similarities to Susan’s game.
Now, with Isabella releasing her game just before the official launch of Future One, his suspicions were confirmed.
Although Isabella’s game was crudely made, its setting and male character designs were strikingly similar to
Susan’s game.
Ben knew this was a result of Isabella using her precognitive ability to get ahead.
But what about others?
They would simply judge based on the chronological order of release, assuming Susan’s game copied Isabella’s.
If Susan were to be branded a copycat, it could potentially ruin her career.
However, Ben wasn’t worried.
In fact, he felt somewhat relieved. Intelligence, after all, is what it is.
Indeed.
Intelligence is what it is.
What does it matter if one has the ability to foresee the future? It doesn’t change their intellect.
Since Isabella likes to be clever, let her taste the consequences of her own making.
The next day.
The Future One smartphone was released as scheduled.
Stores of Storm Group, both online and offline, were swamped with customers.
Soon, the first group of people got their hands on the Future One smartphone,

Chapter 214
Among them was Tyler, a popular Internet streamer.
He focused his live streams on evaluating various electronic products.
This time, he had managed to get his hands on one of the first batch of Future One smartphones.
Eager to share his experience, he hadn’t even opened the phone himself before starting a live stream to unbox it
with his audience.
He quickly updated his stream’s title.
[Evaluating the Future One Smartphone!]
Just the title alone drew in a whopping 100,000 viewers in a flash, and the numbers kept climbing.
Tyler couldn’t hide his excitement. Though he was somewhat well–known in the streaming world, his previous peak viewership, achieved during his evaluation of the Allure series phones, was only around 500,000.
Now, within just ten minutes of streaming, he had already hit that number.
Today, he was sure to set a new personal record.
[Stop dawdling, anchor, open the box already!]
[I tried to get the Future One during the online presale and it sold out in a second. I tried again in–store today and the line was 300 feet long. No chance for me!]
I
[I feel you, too! I couldn’t get one either, so I’m watching the anchor’s review first. If it’s really good, I’ll keep trying. If it’s just okay, I might just give up.]
[Open the box, anchor, open it!]
After quickly glancing at the barrage of comments, Tyler said, “I know you guys are eager, so let’s cut to the chase. and open it up!”
Tyler opened the Future One’s box and took out the phone.
The comments exploded in excitement.
[The design looks amazing! It’s even better looking than the official images.]
[Ah, I love it so much! As someone who values aesthetics, I’ve decided to line up again tomorrow. There’s no way I won’t get one.]
The appearance of the Future One was indeed stunning.
Tyler began to describe it, ‘Guys, I got the Azure Color Version. Look at the back of this phone – it’s a gradient blue,

looking both classy and incredibly beautiful. Even a man who doesn’t care about looks, I find it really attractive. There are three other colors available from the manufacturer, and I bet they are all equally stunning.”
[Enough talking, anchor. Turn it on. Let’s see the features,] the viewers continued to urge.
“Alright, don’t rush. Let’s test it out one by one,” Tyler sald and began testing the phone with professional software.
The results left him momentarily speechless.
“Wow, Storm Group really lives up to their name. Their last phone, Allure One, was already top of its class in performance. While everyone is still trying to catch up to the Allure series, they’ve gone and made another huge leap. The performance of Future One surpasses the Allure series in every aspect. It’s truly the king of smartphones!”
[Wow, so awesome!]
[Yes, that’s so great.]
[The performance is really impressive! That camera has me all excited. It feels even better than a professional DSLR costing thousands.]
[This operating speed is like lightning fast.]
[Everyone agrees that Future One will surpass the Allure series. But that

[Right, let’s test out the artificial intelligence.]
The viewers‘ requests were definitely to be met.

Tyler chuckled and responded, “Alright, I’ll test the Al for you guys. Those who think I’m doing a good job,
remember to donate me.”
In a flash, Tyler received a lot of donations.
Tyler, pleased, quickly said, “I’m opening the personal assistant feature now.”
As Tyler fiddled with the phone, he chatted with his audience.
“The personal assistant can be visualized on the phone screen. Hmm, I’ll choose a mature lady character. Guys, you can actually customize her personality. The more specific the customization, the higher the intelligence level of the assistant, according to the official statement. I don’t have much time today, so I just do a quick edit.”
Tyler Inputted, [Pretentious, sharp–tongued, saying the opposite of what she means. Occasionally gets angry.]
The audience burst into laughter.

[So the anchor likes this kind of style.]
[I like a pretentious mature lady too.]
[Crying, are we cute girls destined to be unloved?]
[Go away. You say you’re a cute girl, but when you turn on the camera, you’re a slovenly man.]
[The guy above, have you been traumatized or something? Share it, let’s all have some fun.]
As everyone chatted merrily, the personal assistant was set up.
A realistic mature lady character appeared in the bottom right corner of Tyler’s phone screen, looking almost like a
real person.
The screen was immediately filled with wolf whistles.
[She’s so beautiful, oh my!]
“Quick, anchor, tease her a bit. I’ll donate you.”
“Me too.”
Tyler didn’t expect that just the appearance of the Al character would cause such a stir.
He hurriedly said, “I’m starting to interact with her now.”
He pressed the dialogue button and cautiously said, “Hello.”
The pretentious mature lady character raised an eyebrow, huffed dismissively, and then ignored Tyler.
Tyler was speechless.
The screen erupted with laughter again.
[This character really has a personality. Keep going, anchor!]
Taking a deep breath and encouraged by his viewers‘ eagerness, Tyler said, “Keep donating, guys. I’ll keep going.”
But, as a straightforward guy, he really didn’t know how to chat with girls.
After some hesitation, Tyler ventured, “How old are you?”
The Al character frowned and huffed again.
Feeling awkward, Tyler tentatively guessed, “Thirty?”

This comment hit a nerve.
The Al character got angry: Thirty? I am forever eighteen! I advise you, if your eyes are useless, please donate them to someone in need!”
Suddenly, a bunch of web pages popped up on his phone.
Tyler looked at them.
[Organizations accepting cornea donations.]
[Cornea donation hotline: *****]
Tyler was speechless.
The audience was rolling with laughter.
This personal assistant was quite something.
Feeling a bit embarrassed but trying to keep up, Tyler coughed and said, “Please find me a lyric song.”
The pretentious character, seemingly displeased with him, started pulling up a bunch of music while continuing to snipe at him.
“A lyric song? I didn’t expect someone as ugly as you to like lyric songs. It’s surprising – someone as unattractive as you trying to be peculiar.”
Tyler: “… Hey! You can’t even see me, how can you call me ugly?”
The pretentious character scoffed coldly, “All phones from Storm Group share an image library. Here, take a look at these selfies. If they’re not ugly, what are they?”
