40: android bodyguard

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the thick curtains of the hotel suite, casting dappled shadows on the carpet.

Lei Jun was already awake, sitting on the living room sofa and browsing pagani's official configurator on her phone.

Su Man walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Seeing the spirited Lei Jun, she mumbled, "Jun Jun, why are you up so early..."

Lei Jun raised her head and smiled slightly, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up. Do you have any plans for today?"

"Nope." Su Man yawned and collapsed onto the adjacent sofa.

Lei Jun: "Then let's have breakfast, and you can accompany me to the dealership."

"Buying a car?" Su Man's sleepiness instantly vanished halfway, and her eyes lit up. "Yes, yes!"

She was full of anticipation at the thought of witnessing Lei Jun's shopping spree again.

She immediately thought of Lin Wei.

Lin Wei sighed, marveling that she and Lei Jun had become friends—what a wonderful fate.

After completing all the procedures, the three separated outside the showroom.

Lin Wei and Su Man returned to school, while Lei Jun drove back to the hotel.

Soon after the car started, the familiar system prompt sounded in her mind:

[Congratulations, host, your System Level has been raised to Level 9!]

[Source of Wealth: As a Godly Tycoon, you receive a cash reward of 8 mao for every second you live on Earth.]

[Upgrade Experience: 0/30,000,000]

[godly tycoon coins: 4000]

[Detection: host has completed a large consumption, triggering a Critical Reward. Congratulations, host, you have gained one lottery draw opportunity!]

8 mao per second is 69,120 yuan per day.

Upgrading requires 30 million experience, so the next goal will require even larger consumption.

She was full of anticipation for the new lottery opportunity, especially after yesterday's car accident; she was more focused on improving her personal safety factor.

"Start the draw."

She silently recited in her mind.

A virtual turntable surrounded by a pale golden halo reappeared. The pointer spun rapidly, finally stopping on an icon that shimmered with a cold metallic luster, its pattern resembling the silhouette of a future warrior.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Future Technology · Customized Bionic Guard - T0 Model!]

[Guard Details]

[Origin: Crafted using cutting-edge bio-nanotechnology and an Artificial Intelligence core from the 22nd century. Perfectly simulates human physiology, but its functions far surpass those of an ordinary person.]

[Appearance: The system defaults to generating the East Asian female image that best fits the host's aesthetic and requirements: 172cm tall, well-proportioned and athletic build, with a capable and cold demeanor.]

[Strength: Maximum explosive force can reach 5 tons, capable of easily twisting steel bars with bare hands.]

[Speed: 100-meter dash time is under 5 seconds, possessing super strong jumping ability and reaction speed.]

[Defense: Skeleton contains built-in superalloy supports, and the lower layer of skin has a liquid nano-protective layer, which can effectively withstand close-range shots from ordinary pistols and even submachine guns.]

[Combat: Built-in database of all mainstream and non-mainstream global fighting techniques, with exceptional combat analysis capabilities. Unarmed, it can easily handle an attack by 50 or more trained adult males; when equipped with suitable weapons, it theoretically possesses the ability to counter an entire company.]

[Skills: Proficient in all conventional and special driving techniques (aircraft, ships, tanks, etc.), hacking technology, advanced medical first aid, multiple foreign languages, crisis management, intelligence analysis, and more.]

[Loyalty: Absolutely loyal to the host. Core programming is set so that the host's safety is the highest priority.]

[Delivery Method: The system will implant legal identity information for it, and it will arrive at the host's current location within 5 minutes via a plausible method.]

After Lei Jun finished reading the system's introduction, a surge of surprise and relief welled up in her heart.

This was simply a tailor-made, perfect guard!

Far surpassing any Bodyguard she could have found through ordinary channels before.

With her by her side, harassment and danger like yesterday's should be completely eliminated.

A long-lost sense of security spontaneously arose.

A few minutes later, as Lei Jun waited in the hotel lobby lounge area, a young woman wearing a well-tailored black suit skirt, with a tall stature and sharp yet respectful eyes, walked directly toward her.

Her steps were steady, and her aura was reserved yet impossible to ignore.

"Miss, hello. I am the guard who has been ordered to report for duty."

The woman's voice was cool and clear, carrying a sense of convincing strength.

She looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, her appearance beautiful yet imbued with a heroic spirit. Standing there, she was like a sheathed sharp sword.

Lei Jun assessed her and was extremely satisfied.

This ability, which surpassed human limits, was exactly what she needed most right now.

"Very good. You will follow me from now on. I shall give you a name..." She thought for a moment. "Let's call you Lei Ying. Like a shadow following me, protecting me completely."

"Yes, Miss. Lei Ying thanks you for the name." Lei Ying bowed slightly, her movements clean and precise.

Lei Jun: "System... or rather, the one who arranged for you to come, what kind of identity background has been prepared for you?"

She needed to know if this identity could withstand scrutiny.

Lei Ying took a black ID holder from the inner pocket of her suit jacket and handed it to Lei Jun with both hands.

"Miss, my public identity is Special Service Consultant of the Dragon Country National Special Service Bureau, also known as Bureau 749."

Lei Jun examined it.

The ID was exquisitely made, featuring the national emblem and watermarks. The position column listed "Special Service Consultant," the unit was the "National Special Service Bureau," and it even included a clear, verifiable firearm permit.

Lei Jun nodded in satisfaction, praising the system's thoughtfulness.

She had vaguely heard rumors about Bureau 749, suggesting it was a division that handled special and highly confidential incidents, imbued with a strong sense of mystery.

This identity was not only legal and compliant but also highly deterrent, enough to make most ill-intentioned individuals back off.

The firearm permit further solved the legality issue of carrying a weapon.

It was too perfect.

A wave of joy rose in Lei Jun's heart.

Exceptional strength, solid identity, absolute loyalty. This reward provided by the system was fantastic.

Her previous worries about safety vanished at this moment.

With Lei Ying present, she could enjoy life and explore the world more confidently.

"Very good, Lei Ying." Lei Jun handed the ID back, a satisfied smile on her face. "From now on, I entrust my safety to you."

"I will not fail your trust, Miss."

Lei Ying answered briefly and firmly. There was no ripple in her eyes, only absolute obedience and focus.

"Since safety is no longer a concern, why not indulge in some dressing up?"

Lei Jun, on a whim, decided to treat herself well.

She took Lei Ying to a shopping center and immediately began shopping.

Walking into the Chanel flagship store, Lei Jun's aura immediately attracted the attention of the senior sales assistant.

Her gaze swept around, and she quickly selected a light beige tweed suit from the early spring resort collection, elegant in tailoring yet fashionable.

Next, she paired it with a pair of classic high heels in the same color scheme and a limited-edition quilted handbag.

After changing into it in the fitting room, her entire demeanor became more noble and refined.
