"Principal Xu, that’s hardly anything to say, we should learn from each other. Alright, I’ll have the logistics department see if there are any empty rooms next to your daughter’s apartment."

Ding Yue said enthusiastically.

Xu Dongcheng’s daughter Xu Meijia, naturally lived in a suite apartment. However, Mei Jia was not a cold and rich beauty, she shared a slightly larger apartment with a few good girlfriends.

Since Principal Xu Dongcheng came, in order to give him more time to spend with his daughter Mei Jia, it was natural to arrange accommodation close by. Surely, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have Principal Xu Dongcheng stay at the Mist City Arts and Science University’s Campus Hotel, right?

The Campus Hotel is next to the Central Sports Ground and that’s quite a distance from the apartment building where Mei Jia lives!

"Great, that would be a big help, Principal Ding."

Principal Xu Dongcheng replied happily but felt like it was quite a bother for Principal Ding to make arrangements.

"What bother? Not at all, it’s a small matter."

After saying this, Ding Yue chatted a bit more with Principal Xu Dongcheng, mainly to tell him that he would send the address after Principal Xu reached Mist City Arts and Science University and that he could simply go directly to the apartment building.

After ending the call, Ding Yue turned to his buddy Huang Youjie and said: "Huang, please have your logistics department check if there are any available rooms near the apartment where Mei Jia lives. Make arrangements, Principal Xu Dongcheng from Westlight University will be visiting."

"Sure thing."

Upon hearing this, Huang Youjie nodded right away and then passed on the instructions to handle this matter.

There were definitely other vacant rooms near the apartment where Mei Jia lived. After all, not everyone lived in such luxurious suite apartments, so there were a number vacant.

Usually, such controlled suite apartments were used by Mist City Arts and Science University to accommodate guests in the past.

However, since the construction of the Campus Hotel at Mist City Arts and Science University, the university now has two hotels, so it’s definitely more convenient to accommodate guests in hotels.

But Principal Xu Dongcheng was an exception, it would not be at all convenient to let Principal Xu Dongcheng stay in a hotel.

Soon, the logistics department had made the arrangements.

After giving these instructions, Ding Yue returned from the football team’s rest room at the Central Sports Ground to the VIP stand.

"Director Xiao, Director Zhang."

Ding Yue greeted Director Xiao Wenxing of the Education Department and Director Zhang of the Sports Bureau when he saw them.

Although Governor Li wouldn’t attend the closing ceremony of the National University Sports Games, both Director Xiao and Director Zhang were present.

With these two directors present, the event certainly had the appropriate level of grandeur.

In fact, since the opening ceremony of this year’s National University Sports Games, Mist City Arts and Science University had a significant presence thanks to their excellent athletes.

Staff members were actively preparing for the closing ceremony.

Volunteers were also serving the participating teams from various universities around the Central Sports Ground.

Many universities taking part in this edition of the National University Sports Games stayed to attend the closing ceremony, with only a few teams having urgent matters to attend to and not present at the venue.

The music for the "March of the Athletes" echoed above the Central Sports Ground, and the spectators were waiting for the start of the closing ceremony. These were the same spectators from the previous football match, while many more were actually watching the livestream.

"Bin, is Big White all ready?"

Although the upcoming event was the closing ceremony of the National University Sports Games, Ding Yue was already inquiring about the status of his artificial intelligence robot Big White.

"Yes, yes, all checks are complete. Big White is still our impressive Big White. I’ve asked the secretary to bring Big White over."

Xu Bin nodded affirmatively and replied with certainty.

For the football match viewing, Ding Yue did not have Big White accompany him, so at the moment Big White was not by his side. Since Big White needed some minor upgrades and checks for this challenge, it had stayed with the computer science department these past few days, entrusted to the teams from the computer science and mechanical engineering departments for modifications and upgrades.

"All upgrades and modifications have been completed. According to the various events of the challenge, we have the absolute confidence to handle Google Company’s AlphaGo with ease."

Xu Bin continued with confidence.

"Who knows what kind of features Google Company’s AlphaGo has been upgraded with; they are definitely well-prepared for this challenge."

Ding Yue stroked his chin, muttering as he analyzed.

Considering Google Company from The United States, they undoubtedly would have made thorough preparations for this artificial intelligence robot challenge. As to what preparations they have made, that remains unknown.

However, from the content of the challenge events, it can be deduced that it won’t be that simple.

Because one of the challenge items between the two artificial intelligence robots includes "Combat Challenge."

As the challenge is approaching, the competition events for the two AI robots have been confirmed and published on the internet.

Among them is the most classical challenge, which is Go!

AlphaGo has previously challenged Xia Country’s Go master, Ke Jie, and ultimately Ke Jie lost to this artificial intelligence.

This time, AlphaGo will play what’s known as an AI match against Big White in Go.

Of course.

Go is just one of the events of the challenge.

The second event is competitive sports!

What’s called competitive sports, undoubtedly, refers to a major showdown in some sports events, which seamlessly connects with the upcoming National University Sports Games; quite fitting.

The third event is combat.

Each event is more challenging than the last. After all, Go is just a test of the AI robot’s computational power. While sports are about the coordination between the AI robot’s mechanical body and its intelligent program, frankly, it’s about seeing whose moves are more agile.

As for the combat challenge, it’s actually a project proposed by Google Company, mainly to see which of the two AI robots can fight better.

Google Company wants to use this challenge to completely defeat Big White, the AI robot from Mist City Arts and Science University, and then elevate their AlphaGo to a God-like status.

Capitalist businessmen always have profit on their minds, and they think that Big White, looking simple and naive, will definitely be easy to defeat.

"We must have confidence in Big White. Yue, didn’t you have us install a secret weapon in Big White?"

Xu Bin said with a smile.

"That’s true."

Hearing this, Ding Yue pondered for a moment and then said, "Hopefully, we won’t need to use the secret weapon we installed in Big White."

"I think, in terms of Go and competitive sports, Google Company’s AlphaGo robot probably won’t pose too much of a threat to Big White. They will surely focus their effort on combat sports because when it comes to combat challenges, the two robots will really collide head-on."

Huang Youjie was analyzing.

"Big White has the National Arts System; it’s not afraid of combat."

Ding Yue shook his head and said, "However, I’m worried Google Company’s AlphaGo might resort to underhanded tactics. People from The United States might very well be capable of such actions."

"Indeed, these foreigners will stop at nothing to win. After all, beating our Big White is quite important for Google Company’s grand strategy in AI robot development."

Xu Bin agreed with Ding Yue’s statement.

Google Company will definitely be looking to introduce various models of artificial intelligence robots in the future, and winning this challenge with AlphaGo is an important step for their future launch of related AI robot products.
