251: Chapter 250: Zero Egg Release (Part 2)

December 21, 2018, 7:01 AM.

As the phone rang, Ju Dongke opened his eyes with extreme reluctance, squinting at the constantly flickering phone screen.

It wasn't a ringtone, it was a call, with the contact name "Tie Zhu".

"This guy, what kind of nonsense is he up to? What time is it even?"

Ju Dongke muttered to himself, still reluctantly tapping to answer.

Since Tie Zhu was his best bud, he had to give him this much face. If it were an emergency and he delayed it, getting complained at by his brother would be a minor issue, but if it caused some unforeseeable and serious consequences, that would be a huge problem.

Perhaps the guy went mountain climbing and broke his leg, who knows?

As soon as the call connected, before Ju Dongke could even speak, Tie Zhu's loud, excited voice came through.

"Dongzi! Quick! Get on the website!"

Ju Dongke was stunned by the volume, confusedly asking, "What thing?"

"The website! Frontier Technology's official website!" Tie Zhu said hurriedly, "Frontier Technology just released an announcement, they are starting to deliver zero egg!"

"What?"

Ju Dongke yawned groggily and replied, "Let Frontier Technology deliver it if they want, why are you so... Wait, what did you say?!"

Ju Dongke suddenly raised his voice.

"zero egg! Dongzi, Frontier Technology is going to deliver zero egg!"

"Are you serious?"

"Would I lie to you?" Tie Zhu urged, "The first batch is 1000 units. Hurry up and go online to see if your time has changed. If it has, you absolutely must tell your brother!"

Ju Dongke didn't hear anything after that. He decisively tossed his phone aside, picked up the laptop he had left on the side last night, and skillfully opened the official website of Frontier Technology Company.

Sure enough, there was an announcement at the top of the website marked with a striking red tag. Checking the release time, it was exactly 7:00 AM.

The content of the announcement was very simple. Ju Dongke just glanced at it briefly, then quickly clicked open his personal status bar.

Looking at the envelope marked with a small red dot, Ju Dongke's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Please let me be selected, please let me be selected."

Ju Dongke muttered silently in his heart and clicked the icon.

The logo, which he was already more than familiar with, appeared. A few seconds later, a string of numbers appeared before Ju Dongke's eyes.

"Estimated time for zero egg to reach you: 24 hours and 58 minutes."

It changed, it really changed!

Ju Dongke clenched his fist in excitement.

This number, when he checked it last night, was still over ten days, but this morning it had directly turned into 24 hours and 58 minutes.

Ju Dongke knew very well what this meant.

"Dongzi, Dongzi, speak, what's the situation?"

From the phone on the side, Tie Zhu, having received no response for a long time, shouted loudly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ju Dongke's mouth. He directly took a screenshot of the screen, opened WeiChat, found the contact, and chose to send it.

Immediately, Tie Zhu's voice came through the phone in disbelief.

"Holy crap! Dongzi, you really got selected! Awesome!"

Ju Dongke chuckled: "I'm also a person with an intelligent assistant now, the world's number one Artificial Intelligence. Envious?"

"Pfft, I bought one too. You're just getting it a few days earlier than me, what are you showing off for."

Listening to Tie Zhu's obviously stubborn voice, Ju Dongke's smile became even more relaxed.

"I've decided!"

Tie Zhu's voice was firm and powerful: "I'm going to sleep at your place tonight! I want to be the first person to receive zero egg!"

"In your dreams!"

Ju Dongke decisively objected: "You can only be the first person to watch me receive zero egg!"

"Damn!!! Where's the brotherhood!"

Ju Dongke laughed, hung up the phone, and cast his gaze back to the computer screen.

Time was still changing minute by minute, but Ju Dongke already had expectations.

What could be more satisfying than the feeling of getting something back after losing it?

Originally, looking at the news and hot topics over the past two days, he had suspected that Frontier Technology was going to delay the launch. This time, he could finally set his mind at ease.

However, what is this?

Looking at the few lines of small text below the countdown on the screen, Ju Dongke couldn't help but read them aloud.

"Delivery options: You can choose the traditional delivery method or the autonomous delivery method."

Autonomous delivery method?

What does this mean?

Ju Dongke clicked it out of curiosity.

"You have selected the autonomous delivery method. Please note, due to the special nature of the delivery, please ensure you arrive at an open-air area within five minutes before the countdown ends. Do not stay in indoor areas with weak signals, elevator shafts, or basements."

"This is..."

A glimmer of surprise appeared in Ju Dongke's eyes.

The news that zero egg was about to be delivered quickly hit the hot list. By noon, this news had once again surpassed the gossip about a certain celebrity and climbed to the top of the list.

In just half a month, Frontier Technology Company or terms related to Frontier Technology Company had hit the top of the hot search list three times in a row. This left all parties stunned and also made the scalpers who had been manipulating the hot search list for years tear up.

If only they had this ability; with this kind of capability, why would they need to be scalpers? They could just start a company; wouldn't that be better?

Grow big and strong, and create new glory.

This was the ultimate dream in every scalper's heart.

Unfortunately, this would always just be a dream.

Frontier Technology official website, forum section.

The forum area was currently on fire.

"Having an Egg, No Heartache": "Awesome! Frontier Technology is awesome! President Wang is awesome! Everyone is awesome! Being able to deliver is awesome!"

"Light of Huaxia": "The guy above is already crazy, let's bury him. *Ahem*, it's my turn to speak... Frontier Technology is awesome!!!"

"Ant Stepping on Elephant": "Seeing Frontier Technology so resilient, I'm relieved. It seems the previous acquisition turmoil didn't affect Frontier Technology at all."

"There Are Always Bitches Who Want to Harm Me": "Small company, big ambitions! This wave from Frontier Technology is impressive, a real slap in the face. I just wonder what the company behind the scenes will think when they see this scene?"

"Cute Little Phoenix": "Why hasn't my countdown changed???"

Beijing.

A Middle-aged man gently placed his tablet on the coffee table in front of him and sighed softly: "Turning hands to make clouds and covering hands to make rain, impressive."

The beautiful woman beside him smiled and said: "What, are you tempted?"

"To say I'm not tempted would be a lie." The Middle-aged man asked: "You and I both attended the press conference, what do you think?"

"It's quite good." The woman filled her teacup with water and said: "In terms of the degree of intelligence alone, I haven't seen any company that can compare to it."

Who "it" was, both of them knew clearly.

"But this is also the part I find strange." The woman looked up at the Middle-aged man: "Didn't you rush to Hanzhong City in a hurry to observe Frontier Technology back then? Why did you go quiet after coming back?"

"Frontier Technology stands too high."

The Middle-aged man sighed again.

The woman seemed to realize something: "You predicted this would happen?"

"It was inevitable."

The Middle-aged man said indifferently: "There is an old Huaxia saying, 'The innocent are not guilty, but holding a jade ring is a crime'; and another saying, 'The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind'."

"Frontier Technology's profile is too high. Whether it's the Mark I System or zero egg, these are not things that a small company can control. This turmoil is definitely not over yet."

"Who wins and who loses, there is no final result yet." The Middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said calmly: "We still need to wait a bit longer."

"Wait longer?" The woman looked at the Middle-aged man, seemingly sensing something, and smiled: "If we keep waiting, won't we miss the opportunity? Adding flowers to the brocade is never as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather."

The Middle-aged man remained silent.
