The Urban Dao Child

After that night, time seemed to have grown wings and flew away in a blink. Today was the new year, and also Yang Dao’s birthday. The Dao Child has now mastered two elements and was about to enter another sacred dimension to learn about the laws of life and death.

The sacred realm they were going to was known as the realm of life and death. The Azure Dragon was the overlord of this realm. It was decided that they will all leave after celebrating Yang Dao’s birthday.

Feng Yun held a big feast for him at the Dao courtyard Mansion. She called all the people from his orphanage, his classmates, his cycling club members, some of the high-ranking staff in his company, and finally, she also invited a few high society business giants.

The past six months have completely changed the face of the Jewel Nation lifestyle. You will not recognize the country if you are coming back from some other nation and the time you have been away from home exceeded six months. The roads were ruled by driverless cars, the street sides were loaded with holographic billboards.

People were using handsfree mobile. Yes, Dao Technology introduced a device that projected the phone screen directly at your retina. You only need gestures to operate the mobile phone. The world was shocked. The company made a fortune as it made the technology available to the whole world. Not only this, Dao Technologies invested in every potential project they could find and get their hands on.

The deliveries were now done using cluster drones. However, everything was supervised and operated by humans. The people were happy with a thing they can control but not a robot that can be independent. They all had stigmas after all. Another thing that Yang Dao held back on was too much development. He set up a recycling plant and everything the company manufactured was made with recycled material.

If someone wanted to buy his mobile. They will have to exchange their old phone for it. The data they had will be transferred to the new phone while they will be charged half the money. The company raked money and Yang Dao gained fans. At this moment, a lot of people were gathered in the serene garden of the Dao Courtyard Mansion.

Yang Dao was upstairs and beside him stood a dashing man wearing a steward suit. This man was not a human but the robot Frieda had created for Yang Dao as a gift. This thing was loaded with RALF’s program.

Frieda had gifted this steward to Yang Dao one month earlier than his birthday, and RALF had adjusted to his body completely. His throat was fixed with a speaker from where the sound was emitted via small radio.

At this moment, the dao child was getting ready for the banquet. He wore a simple mink style tuxedo, the coat and the pants were of moonlight blue color. He was standing in front of the big mirror. RALF from the other side said, “Administrator, the watch.”

He extending in his hands toward him with a luxurious yet simple watch held in them. Yang Dao took the watch and put it on his wrist. Then he said, “RALF, change my address designation to Master, instead of Administrator.”

Ralf nodded and replied, “Understood, Master.”

The AI can now compete with humans in everything and even defeat them. However, Yang Dao had put a limit on his skills in front of commoners. The eyes of the bot were designed by himself. They could work two ways, one was to record the scenes and the other was to project images. The storage he used was cloud storage that worked just like the human brain. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Yang Dao nodded and said, “RALF, what is the situation of the fusion reactor?”

RALF said, “The reactor is working and the reaction is stable.” the voice was calm.

Yang Dao said, “Hmmm, arrange for the media to come over at the end of the banquet. It is time to gift the nation something and also, send a gift to the enemies in the shadows.”

RALF nodded and said, “The invites have been sent to the prominent news channels. For better reach, I have taken the liberty to invite some social media celebrities as well.”

Yang Dao nodded. He was about to say something when the door of the room was pushed open. Feng Yun and Laohu Bai walked inside the room. The ladies were adorned with jewels and they wore gowns.

Laohu Bai had a white off-shoulder gown while Feng Yun had a similarly designed vermillion gown. The former wore pearl jewelry while Feng Yun had rubies, looking pretty in her light. They looked at Yang Dao and Feng Yun said, “Dao, did you not say you will wear a black and white suit?”

She was confused about it. The boy said, “That suit seemed too monotonous with the setting today. Everyone downstairs is wearing black suits. As the birthday boy, I must stand out. No?”

Laohu Bai chuckled and walked forward. She said, “Are we finally acting willful, Master?”

Yang Dao chuckled along with her. Ever since he mastered the earth element. He became even more stable and calmer than before. The three people chatted with each other and then they walked out of the room. Outside the room, two Leopards were waiting for him. They were given a slight upgrade by advancing in the level of elemental cultivation.

They both were more muscular, their eyes were more spiritual and the elegance they emitted was also a lot higher. Their fur was as if glowing. The people were not afraid of them anymore. They stood up beside him like two guards. Yang Dao said, “Luster, Shadow, where is Sushi?”

The tiny sylph was supposed to be with the two of them but he did not know where she went. Shadow raised her paw and signaled to him that Sushi went downstairs, followed by a lick of her mouth to indicate that Sushi went to eat.

Feng Yun said in exasperation, “She seems to be having fun, as always. This tiny one is too willful.”

Yang Dao said, “It is okay. She has taken that after her master.”

Laohu Bai chuckled, “The food hunters.”

The mood was merry. RALF came out and said, “Master, we shall get going. The guests have has been waiting. Mister Jinshi and Elder Atsuji have their hands full with guests.”

Yang Dao nodded and they all left for the banquet.. The boy reminisced how a year has passed since he left the orphanage to start a new journey, and how the journey was completely different from his expectations.
