Chapter 280: 280 Beneficial for Physical and Mental Health (Second Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 280: 280 Beneficial for Physical and Mental Health (Second Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets) In the early morning, Luo Xiyun woke up from her sleep and saw the familiar ceiling, feeling momentarily disoriented. She reached out to her side, only to grasp emptiness.

It dawned on her that she wasn’t in that villa, and Chen Xu wasn’t lying beside her.

She sat up and turned her head toward the window. The window was not shut properly, and occasionally the wind blew in, lifting the curtain. The lifted corner revealed a patch of golden sunlight streaming in, forming a bright spot on the red wooden floor. When the curtain fell back into place, the bright spot disappeared.

Everything here was exactly the same as the room in the villa, even the pattern and color of the quilt covering her was identical.

But she knew, no matter how similar it was made, this was not the same room as before, because it lacked one thing.

She got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, looked at her reflection in the mirror, her complexion rosy and her skin radiant, looking starkly different from before she drifted into the dream.

She opened the cabinet beneath the mirror, and saw a collection of skincare products, each adorned with fine patterns. She picked one up and read the instructions and effects printed on the bottle.

Her lips quivered, and her heart throbbed with pain.

After getting together with Chen Xu, she started maintaining her daily skincare routine at home, and they didn’t live together, so Chen Xu probably didn’t know.

Previously, even sending flowers had to involve Secretary Jin. Now, he had thoughtfully prepared skincare products for her in advance.

Was this change because of those two women?

She closed her eyes for a while and then opened them again. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, “You two have already broken up…”

She stared at the mirror for a few seconds, placed the bottle back, and was about to close the cabinet when she paused. After only a second, she pulled it open again, as if talking to herself, “I can’t be outdone by them.”

Saying that, she began selecting bottle after bottle…

…

Forty minutes later, Luo Xiyun left the room. The dining table was laid with several breakfast items.

“Good morning,” Chen Xu greeted her as he came out of the kitchen.

She remained cold-faced and unresponsive, walked into the kitchen, took out a food container, and served herself some porridge.

Chen Xu asked, “Have you decided which industry you want to choose?”

Just as she finished serving herself, she put the spoon back into the pot, turned to look at him, and said, “I choose artificial intelligence.”

Artificial intelligence?

Chen Xu was slightly taken aback, but from her somewhat mocking gaze, he could tell she did it on purpose.

Yang Jinxia had already set her sights on this industry and had started making arrangements. It was fair to say she had secured an entry ticket.

Now, by saying she also wanted to enter the artificial intelligence field, it was clear she intended to compete with Yang Jinxia.

“Alright then.”

Chen Xu’s expression remained unchanged, and he immediately agreed, “When do you plan to start learning?”

At this, Luo Xiyun hesitated a moment, not expecting him to agree so readily and unsure how to respond. She looked away, “The sooner, the better.”

Chen Xu said, “Then let’s start today. Sit down, I need to understand your basics first before I can arrange your courses.”

Luo Xiyun hesitated, then sat down.

Chen Xu served himself a bowl of porridge, took a sip, then asked, “Have you studied programming before?”

Luo Xiyun shook her head.

“How much do you know about computer basics?”

Luo Xiyun looked at him and remained silent.

“Can you reinstall an operating system?”

“No.”

Chen Xu nodded, “Hmm, you studied business so you should be good at math, that’s an advantage. I know how to arrange your courses now.”

Luo Xiyun silently ate her porridge, but her gaze suddenly became determined.

If initially mentioning artificial intelligence was to irk Chen Xu, now she had made up her mind to master the field.

Chen Xu felt a chill down his spine, sensing her intentions, but he dismissed it.

Now he was in debt over his head, facing challenges as they came.

Previously, he had wanted a stable life, stable relationships. Accidentally, he had created this situation. Initially, he was uneasy and hesitant, but after all these experiences, his outlook had changed. This colorful life wasn’t so bad after all.

…

After breakfast, Chen Xu took Luo Xiyun to the location of the mainframe, where he had built a large laboratory that could accommodate various large machines.

Now, he was using it as a classroom, with four chairs, each with a terminal in front, directly connected to the mainframe, ready to pull up any necessary data.

The mainframe contained a highly efficient learning system, part of the colonization package, which could tailor its teaching to each individual’s characteristics. If one was willing to put in the effort, the learning efficiency was extremely high, just like having one-on-one lessons with a top teacher.

Over the past three years, Chen Xu spent time every day learning new knowledge in this learning system. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was more than ten times more efficient than studying by himself.

Chen Xu had Luo Xiyun sit in a chair and taught her how to operate it, then went to continue his unfinished experiment.

He immersed himself among a pile of machines, occasionally glancing at Luo Xiyun. His slightly agitated heart from the failed experiment immediately calmed down. Then he tried again.

Unconsciously, the morning passed.

When Chen Xu brought lunch, he saw Luo Xiyun still sitting in her chair and tapped on the table.

Luo Xiyun took off her glasses and asked him, “What is it?”

“Let’s eat first, you’ve been studying all morning.”

Luo Xiyun really was hungry and stood up.

Next to them was a table specifically for eating. The lunch was quite lavish, three dishes and a soup.

Luo Xiyun saw the soup in the pot was milky white. She scooped it with a spoon and found it was crucian carp soup. To obtain crucian carp in such an environment showed that Chen Xu had put forth effort.

She didn’t ask and silently filled a bowl, starting to drink.

Chen Xu too said nothing, focusing on eating while thinking.

After lunch, Luo Xiyun returned to her chair to continue her studies.

Chen Xu cleaned up and left, as he had many tasks to handle and couldn’t spend all his time studying.

The production line of robots based on high-strength silicon molecular materials was soon to be completed. He had been assembling this line for months and wouldn’t abandon it halfway.

Once this line was finished, the problem of insufficient labor would be effectively resolved.

Moreover, he had removed the backdoor in the installation program for these robots — the one causing them to crash whenever there was a signal interruption.

This backdoor had severely affected the robots’ efficiency, and he hadn’t had the authority to alter it in previous models. But these robots were being made by him, so he could set them up any way he wanted to.

Chen Xu remained in that factory until four in the afternoon, realizing it was impossible to finish today’s tasks, and paused his work, planning to resume tomorrow.

He went to the laboratory and unsurprisingly found Luo Xiyun still sitting there studying. He approached and tapped on the table again.

Luo Xiyun took off her glasses and looked at him, saying, “It’s not dinner time yet, is it?”

“You’ve been sitting here almost the entire day; this won’t do. Get up for some exercise, let’s go next door and play badminton.” Chen Xu was holding a pair of badminton rackets.

Luo Xiyun crossed her arms over her chest and said, “If it’s exercise, I can run alone.”

The implication was that she didn’t want to play with him.

Chen Xu nodded, “Indeed, running is a good idea. However, in such a large base with only the two of us, our biggest enemy is actually loneliness. You must have felt that. Playing together not only gives us physical training but also benefits our mental health.”

“There are many bio-humans here in the base, right? I can talk to them.”

Chen Xu explained, “Bio-humans, in essence, are robots donning human skins. They only understand obeying orders and completing tasks; they know nothing else. They wouldn’t understand if you try to chat with them.”

Luo Xiyun furrowed her brows recalling that she indeed hadn’t seen Chen Xu interact with any bio-humans recently.

Chen Xu added, “Come on, proper exercise and rest can enhance your learning efficiency.”

Luo Xiyun eventually stood up and followed him to the next room. She took a racket and positioned herself on the other side.

“Here we go.”

Chen Xu served the shuttlecock.

As Luo Xiyun watched the shuttlecock fly over, she swung her racket instinctively, hitting it hard back. Watching the shuttlecock rocket towards Chen Xu like a bullet was quite satisfying.

Then she put all her strength into each hit.

After a while, her arms started to feel a bit sore and weak, but she didn’t care. Each time she saw the shuttlecock fly over, she smashed it hard, imagining it was Chen Xu’s face.

PS: There will be another update later; it might be quite late, so you can read it tomorrow morning.
