The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao kissed Feng Yun, and the two people were engaged in the soft sensation for a few minutes before they opened their eyes and woke up. Yang Dao gazed in the sparkling eyes in front of him and he jerked away from the kiss. He did not dislike this feeling for the first time. Yet his heart was not calm.

Feng Yun sensed his unease and smiled. She said, "Dao, this will have to wait until you have mastered the laws of the heavens. I can tell you that the journey ahead of you is still very long, but hugs and kissing once in a while are okay. Also, keep it a secret until we ascend."

Her words attracted Yang Dao's attention and drew him out of his daze. He asked, "Ascend?"

Feng Yun smiled and said, "Ascend to the Dao Palace in the Heavenly Palace. You can put that aside now. Go to bed. Also, you can sleep here if you want to." She invited him.

Yang Dao shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I just came because of the dream." Having said that, the boy ran outside like a gust of wind. Feng Yun was surprised, and then she chuckled. Shaking her head, the girl went to bed.

...

In his room, the boy tried to sleep for a long time but tonight the sleep evaded him. Helpless, the boy laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He sighed and then keep reminding himself that what happened was wrong and taboo. He used a self-hypnotizing trick he read in a book. The reason he did this was to stop himself from losing control.

Feng Yun had told him to wait until they ascend and the journey was long so, he shifted his focus on the journey ahead of him. Unknowingly, he fell asleep while hypnotizing himself. The rest of the night flew by quickly. Yang Dao woke up right on time. He took a shower and after changing into his casual jeans and shirt, he rushed to the study.

In the living room, Feng Yun was drinking her morning tea. Lisa stood behind her respectfully. The house was cleaned by the Robo-Aid. The two people saw Yang Dao coming out of his room. Feng Yun said, 'Good morning, Dao."

Yang Dao replied, "Good morning, Sister Yun. I will have my breakfast in the study. I have an important thing to check." he ran inside the study and started his computer.

Lisa came in after a few minutes, pushing a trolley. The breakfast was served on it. She looked at the boy, gazing at the computer screen with all his focus. His fingers danced over the keyboard, producing rhythmic music. The boy stopped suddenly. His eyes widened, and a smile spread over his face.

Suddenly he stood from the chair and shouted, 'YES. FINALLY."

Lisa flinched back, and Feng Yun came over when the boy shouted. She asked, "Dao, what happened."

Yang Dao forgot last night self hypnotizing and rushed up to her and gave her a big hug. He was laughing with joy. Feng Yun raised her eyebrow. This boy had seldom lost his calm in front of her. This was not the end. The boy even rushed to Lisa and hugged her as well.

Feng Yun asked him again, "Dao, what happened?"

The boy said, "You will see soon." then he came in front of the computer and typed a code. Then he pressed the enter key. Suddenly the screen turned black and a green progress bar came up.

Yang Dao stood up and ate the omelet and toast on the trolley and then he said, "Lisa, can I have some fruits as well, I feel like eating something sweet."

Lisa nodded and said in her sweet voice, "Yes, Young Master. Just a minute." she was thrilled to serve him. Even though the boy was not always around but he was the closest she had to a friend. She came back holding a plate of fresh peaches and grapes. Yang Dao smiled and ate the fruits.

Feng Yun waited on the side patiently with a smile on her face. After five minutes when the boy finished his meal, the computer made a sound.

Initiation complete, AI is online. Please assign a name to the program.

The sound was actually a mechanical voice. It made Feng Yun and Lisa shocked. They did not expect something like this. Feng Yun looked at the boy, who was wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue. Yang Dao smiled at her and said, "Assing the name, RALF AI."

The computer spoke again, "Command confirmed, Assigned name RALF AI. Voice Signature Registered. State the name and designation to the voice signature."

The system was asking Yang Dao to state his name and designation in the system. This program acted like a bird, the first voice it heard was registered automatically, the rest will have to be set manually.

Yang Dao spoke, "Name, Yang Dao. Designation, Administrator." the computer replied instantly.

Identity and designation set. RALF greets the Administrator.

Yang Dao smiled and said, "RALF tell me what are the requirements to make you upgrade?"

The computer replied, "The system will need..." the computer went on and on about the requirements to make it upgrade to the next level. Right now, it was five levels above the mobile operating system but the performance was painfully limited. The reason being the lack of hardware.

The hardware it needed was not the CPU set-up on the floor below, but the additional tools. The purpose of RALF was like a manager. What it lacked was knowledge. Knowledge was the biggest tool he lacked.

Yang Dao said, "Start learning all the knowledge from the internet. Mask the IP and avoid governmental portals."

RALF replied, Yes, Administrator. and it began learning from the internet.

Feng Yun asked, "When and how did you make this?" she was shocked to witness what just happened in front of her. Even if this program was in the initial stage, it was something that will change the pace of things drastically.
