Zane was all smiles, "Do you know about the internationally renowned DO Group?"


    Mirabe had just grabbed her mouse to scroll through her emails. Hearing Zane''s words, she almost lost her grip. She looked at Zane again, "DO Group?"


    "Yes." Seeing Mirabe''s reaction, Zane figured she might not have heard of the DO Group and started to fill her in, "This DO Group owns the world''s most advanced artificial intelligence system, standing at the pinnacle of the inte technology pyramid..."


    Mirabe''s lips twitched slightly, realizing it was indeed thepany she recognized.


    "...In short, this group, providing full-intelligence security systems to several powerful countries, is quite impressive. They are now developing the fourth generation of Al robots. That''s why they are particrly interested in our research on artificial life systems, especially the information database you wrote about. And this email is from theirpany."


    Zane said, prompting Mirabe to continue reading the email.


    Just by listening, Mirabe had already guessed the gist of the email, and after reading it, it was indeed as she had thought.


    "How did they know we developed an artificial life system?" Mirabe put down the mouse, asking in surprise.


    "It''s strange to me too, somehow they just found me out of the blue and sent this email, asking if we were interested in a coboration," Zane exined slowly.


    In fact, the email had arrived a couple of days ago, but he only opened it today.


    At first, he thought it was a scam email. However, after seeing a contact number at the bottom, he somewhat impulsively made a call to inquire, only to find out the email was genuine.


    It was indeed from the DO Group.


    After listening, Mirabe simply gave Zane a look, "What''s your n?"


    "What n?" Zane was still in the thrill of being approached for coboration, not having thought about anything specific yet.


    Mirabe twirled her fingertip at her temple, simply saying, "The price can''t be low."


    "Price?" Zane paused, then quickly caught on, his cheeks twitching.


    How could he forget that her joining the research team was predicated on there being a financial reward?


    "Nothing''s certain yet. We have to


    wait at least until the project with the Technology Institute is over before we can consider a coboration. After all, this also involves patent rights," Zane added.


    "Oh, so aside from showing me this, is there anything else you wanted?" Mirabe asked, suddenly less interested.


    Zane: "..."


    Anyone else would be thrilled to be approached by an international conglomerate for a coboration, but this little one, aside from caring about the price, seemed indifferent to everything else. ''


    Zane sighed lightly, not mentioning the email anymore, and moved on to the main topic, "The system at the Technology Institute has been fully integrated, using the n you modifiedter."


    "That''s good," Mirabe nodded, not at all surprised.


    "Although the system has been


    integrated, there will definitely need to be adjustments to the detailster on. You''ll go directly to theboratory at the Technology Institute then," Zane continued.


    "Understood."


    Mirabe thought about the not-so-advanced technology at the Technology


    Institute and figured the adjustments would be more than just minor.

    In the afternoon, after herst ss, Mirabe had just left the academic building when her phone vibrated in her pocket.


    It was a call from James.


    Walking outside, Mirabe answered the phone, and his cool voice came through first.


    "I''m waiting for you at our usual spot outside your department."
