Chapter 124: Rong Yuan's Day (Part 2)
"It's true that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden. If this guy knew that Skynet and Crow are one and the same, do you think he would dare to run away with the money?" Rong Yuan said to Wandou with a sneer.
Pea blinked and said, "The conditions are insufficient to judge."
"Don't just talk about the calculation results of the optical computer," Rong Yuan looked at it and asked, "What are your own thoughts?"
Question marks appeared in Pea's eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe... you don't dare?"
"Humph, that's the guy. It's better for him to disguise himself." Rong Yuan said coldly, "Find him for me...If you can't kill him, I'll take his last name!"
The couple's family was so poor that they didn't even have a smartphone, so they were in the blind spot of Wandou's monitoring network. Rong Yuan didn't think it was necessary to keep track of the recipients of Freemasonry like he did with wanted criminals. Although the optical computer had strong capabilities, it was limited after all, and there was no need to waste resources in such places. Generally, in such cases, when they go to the hospital to register for treatment, the same information will be archived in the optical computer. Wandou will pay attention to it every one or two weeks, and stop paying attention after the merits are collected. If the recipient applies for assistance again later, Wandou will sort out the previous archived records and their detailed expenditure list, and re-examine it to confirm that there is no waste and that there is indeed a need for assistance, then there will be a second assistance.
——In Freemasonry, merits are not earned immediately after money is sent, but only after the other party actually uses the money to solve the problem, and sometimes this cycle can last for several months. Therefore, Rongyuan and Wandou did not discover the behavior of the husband named Dai Ping at first, until the merits were deducted, and they went back to check again and found out about it, at which time Dai Ping had disappeared.
In the entire Sugar Country, there is no one whom Pea cannot find, unless he is dead.
Fifteen minutes after the merit was withheld, Wandou found Dai Ping's whereabouts. He took the money and was staying in a small hotel in City Z.
"Rongyuan, should we expose his location and actions on Skynet, or report to the police?" Pea was ready to go. From the experience gained from the Internet, it thought this was a commonly used and easy-to-use method.
But Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "Not appropriate."
"Why?" asked Pea.
"There was a student in my elementary school named Miao Xuan. When he was in his early teens, he was about 1.8 meters tall. He was tall and strong. He looked like an adult when standing in a team. He was also very strong. But even such a person was often bullied by those thin and small classmates who were not even as tall as his chest. He was beaten to tears several times." Rong Yuan told a story that was irrelevant to the question, and then asked Wandou: "Do you know why this is the case?"
After that conversation, Rongyuan often discussed problems with Wandou. At first, Wandou always spoke mechanically, but over time, it gradually began to think independently, express its own opinions, and become more flexible in handling affairs. However, at such times, Wandou always had to think for a while before answering, and was not very confident in his answer.
After a few seconds, Pea asked hesitantly, "He didn't resist?"
"Then why didn't he resist?" Rong Yuan asked again.
So Pea thought again, and this time it took it more than a minute before it said, "It's because... he is very strong, and if he fights back it will cause serious harm to others, so..." Pea looked at Rong Yuan carefully and tentatively concluded, "Is he a very kind person?" The last word was involuntarily raised in tone, turning it into a question.
Rong Yuan smiled and patted its head, saying: "You don't even have the courage to protect yourself. This is not kindness, this is cowardice."
"There are many reasons for not resisting. On the surface, it's because when he was growing up, all the elders around him told him that since he was so tall and strong, he should give way to other children and not bully others. When he was bullied, he would question: How could others bully you? Or he would say that fighting between children is nothing. Over time, he got used to being bullied and his position at the bottom. He would just hold his head and endure the beatings and scolding from others without using his strength."
"The deeper reason is that he probably feels inferior to others because he is different from ordinary people, and he doesn't want to become more different in the eyes of others, right?"
Pea didn't understand.
Rong Yuan said: "It's like a tiger that lives among cats and wants to be friends with them, so it pulls out its claws and teeth and allows the cats to bully it without resisting, to prove that it is safe and harmless, so that it can be recognized by other cats and dogs. Because it knows that it is much stronger than cats and dogs, and whenever it shows its teeth, even cats and dogs around it that are not targeted by it will be scared away for fear of being hurt by it. It will be isolated, and the cats and dogs may even call many friends to join forces to beat it to death."
Pea pondered for a while, then asked, "...Skynet is also a tiger, right?"
Rong Yuan nodded with approval and said, "That's right, Skynet is too powerful, and this power itself is frightening. The public opinion you see now is all praising it, because Skynet has always shown its side of helping people and doing good, and it is safe and harmless. But as long as it shows a little aggressiveness, there will be people who want to destroy it out of fear."
Dai Ping's case will indeed cause public outrage. If the Internet is used, it will easily ruin his reputation and make him have no place to stay. However, if Skynet is the one leading this process, netizens may feel happy at first, but they will inevitably feel fear when they think back after the incident. Because Skynet can take revenge on Dai Ping who embezzled charity funds, it is possible that this method will be used on anyone else, and its fair position and aura of justice will be overshadowed from then on. Because people will involuntarily think: Is my camera still safe? Is my online account still safe? Will my privacy be leaked by Skynet? What if Skynet wants to doxx me? They will substitute Dai Ping's experience into themselves, and the initial praise for this website will become a fear of avoiding it. If someone deliberately guides it, it will be easy to make public opinion turn to the side that is unfavorable to Skynet. At that time, it may be Skynet that will be ruined.
"Then...what should we do?" Wandou asked. Judging from Rong Yuan's expression, it was impossible not to teach Dai Ping a lesson, but using the Internet was not appropriate, and Wandou was at a loss.
——Does Rong Yuan have to transform into a crow and go into battle to teach him a lesson himself?
It's not impossible. After all, Rongyuan now lives alone in the suburbs. He doesn't have to report to school every day and has free time. If he disappears for a few days, no one will notice.
Wandou felt that this was even more inappropriate. Moreover, Rong Yuan had said last time that he would give up his identity as Crow. If he did something like this again, even if it would prevent the police from associating it with Crow, he would not be able to deceive himself.
Pea made a secret decision that if Rong Yuan wanted to teach Dai Ping a lesson like he did to Wang Chunshan, it would definitely persuade him well.
——But if Rong Yuan is determined to do it, it...it can't stop him!
Pea was feeling worried, but when she heard Rong Yuan giving her instructions, her already big eyes widened even wider - is this even possible?
…
Dai Ping's matter was handed over to Wandou, and Rongyuan just had to wait for the results . After selecting the next batch of donors from the recent help-seeking information, Wandou also strengthened the follow-up tracking and observation. But this is not a long-term solution. There are now more fund-seeking information on the Internet than cattle hair. The initial investigation was already very cumbersome and time-consuming. Coupled with the follow-up tracking, Wandou also felt very tired.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely leave this kind of thing to the optical computer, as the optical computer does not have sufficient independent judgment capabilities.
Moreover, there are many variables in such one-to-one money transfers and letting the help-seekers solve the problem themselves. Sometimes, even if everything is done very well, because of a problem in one link, the merits obtained in the end are very small or even deducted into a negative number.
The amount of money in Skynet's account has accumulated to a considerable amount, but the efficiency of converting this money into merit is very low. The same amount of money can be used to buy dog food to feed dogs and gain more merit. For Rong Yuan, Freemasonry has become a chicken rib, useless to eat and a pity to throw away. He spent a lot of energy and resources, but the final benefits were not proportional.
Rong Yuan thought that he should spend the money in a different way.
He needs an agent.
…
After instructing Wandou to select some suitable agents from the database, it was time for lunch. After lunch, Rongyuan took a short break, napped for about ten minutes, and then started his research on marshmallows.
In fact, the first batch of finished products has come out, and there is still a gap between them and the real fluffy marshmallows, but it is not beyond Rong Yuan's original expectation. However, Rong Yuan strives for perfection and conducts repeated experiments to find the best ratio of materials. At the same time, after reading the information brought back from the moon, he constantly has new ideas and often overturns the previous experiments and starts over, so he has been unable to get the final results.
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The later you get, the more tedious the work becomes. New problems in the details need to be corrected. It also requires a lot of patience, and you can't be careless at all. Rong Yuan was actually a little impatient. He naturally liked to solve problems with great momentum, rather than spend a long time and countless repetitive work to find the most correct method. What he had to do now was such a job. If it weren't for the countless merits that could be expected in the future, he might have given up and changed to another way.
After spending the whole afternoon in the lab, Rong Yuan took time to rest in the evening. His way of resting was also different - jogging for half an hour, learning a new fighting technique and practicing it for half an hour, taking a shower, reading for the rest of the time, solving a few problems when he was interested, and then turning off the lights to sleep, falling asleep in seconds, and waking up on time at six in the morning the next day.
While Rong Yuan was asleep, Wandou also started to deal with Dai Ping.
