The Urban Dao Child

After the press meet finished the press rushed back to their own offices to publish and broadcast the news they have just covered. Yang Dao did not make a big fuss about the event as he stated the bot to be in the experimental period and to be the prototype. 

He also stated that the company forum will add a  Suggestions tab to let the consumers provide them a few ideas about what features will they need in the bot. After a discussion, the bot will be put up for sale. 

The media will never let go of such a juicy piece of meat. They all contacted their offices and bosses to directly get themselves a slot on about the news. 

... 

While the people were boiling up about Neo, on the web forums, Yang Dao's sketching skills had already started to draw aggro of the keyboard warriors. The people were all excited to see the handsome male god working by himself to paste the sheets together. 

A few comments were highlighted below the posts. The people expressed themselves as; 

'Is this not the boy who won that car race and saved that beauty driver?'

'This child is so bright. He first invented that cleaning ball (Robo-aid) and now this, sketch. Why is my son not like him?' 

'Awesome!! I was scared out of my wits when I saw the tiger turning its head but it was just my hallucination. The sketch is so life-like. Why is god so unfair?'

Such comments continued to be posted on the internet. Soon, the people around Yang Dao also knew and started to call him over to check whether he actually drew this. The Dao Child did not shy away from the exposure. After the trip to the sacred realm, his mind had gone through a growth spree. 

In these two weeks (inside the sacred realm) he has understood that nothing can disturb you if you do not want to be disturbed. At this moment, Yang Dao was skimming through some documents in the office, and on his table, the laptop was placed. Just a few moments ago, Yang Dao had given RAFL, permission to monitor the activities of the scientists included in the graphene development project. 

Once the project completely bears fruit the impact will be significant. Graphene will replace a lot of things in the market and those who can monopolize it will score. Unlike the rest of the people, Yang Dao had low to no interest in money or luxury. What he wanted was to make everyone get what they deserved and make a prosperous society. 

Although he knew that prosperity will come to an end too, he still needed to strive. This was the cycle of nature and life. The prosperity of society depends on how people treat nature. Thus, he had already developed plans for the future growth of the company.

Yurika walked inside Yang Dao's office and said, "Dao, Sister Tina was asking about where you went. So I told her that you went on for military training. Yang Dao nodded, and asked, "Say, how about opening a restaurant?"

Yurika was dazed by the sudden question, she asked, "What are you up to?" 

"You remember when I went on the camping trip, I bought a few recipes?" he asked. 

Yurika nodded and the boy continued speaking, "Those recipes have yet to be shared with the world, and I came up with some very interesting dishes as well. So I was thinking if we could make it a venture. The dishes are all simple. We can sell them at a low price. Ummm, we do not need to open a shop specifically, just have a few food vans set up. They can park in different areas of the city and sell." 

Yurika said, "If that is the case, we can make a good profit." 

Yang Dao said, "Nope, the profit is to be used in purchasing, eco-friendly consumables. Do you remember the bamboo cups and banana leaves? Promote those to be used more." 

His idea was simple, and the plan was simple. Yurika nodded and even took notes of the key points. Half an hour later, Yang Dao said, "Come, let us go grab some Ice cream, I will drop you home, then I go to sapphire lake residence. You can talk to the manager of Paradise Hotel. They can gather vans and trainee staff that are below the mark to work in the hotel." 

Yurika nodded and then she stood up with him. Yang Dao closed the laptop and walked outside the office. It was seven in the evening and the televisions and billboard screens around the city were all flashing with the news of Dao Technologies introducing the new robot. 

Under his instructions, the company had opened a pop-up survey on the official website where the consumers can input their suggestions regarding the feature they needed for the robot. Yang Dao was unaware of the wave he had created by his sudden unveiling. He was not bothered by it, so he came out of the company and suddenly said, "Oh, Rika, can you get someone to cover this sketch with some glass or acrylic? The paper will last longer that way." 

Yurika shook her head and said, "Aye boss."

Yang Dao chuckled at the exasperated expression she had. The two rode Quinn and came to a roadside ice cream shop. Yang Dao ordered two different ones and the two people ate ice cream in silence. This was their response to something good happening. 

The world around them, however, was not so calm. Some major experts in robotics and computer operations were at this moment hold emergency meetings. They were concerned about how did this company achieve this milestone. They all have been trying for a long time but their robots were still not so smooth and fluent, whether it was body movement or communication. 

In the crypto nation, a man with glasses sat in a chair. His eyes focused on the Television screen. He said, "They seem to have grown a bit. How about a test?" his eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness.
