I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 882: Heartbeat Q&A

“When will I need you to eavesdrop on me?” I disapproved of Professor Bai’s suggestion.

“It could be useful in various situations.” Professor Bai drummed rhythmically on the table with his fingers, “For example, when you get kidnapped or are under surveillance and it’s inconvenient for you to convey information to the outside world. In that case, you could pass information to us.”

Huh, Professor Bai’s scenario seems very interesting, it would be like a spy tool. Maybe I’ll be able to put it to use.

Imagination scenario 1:

In the examination room, I wore a hidden Bluetooth headset, then switched to the surveillance mode and put it in my desk. I turned on the remote monitoring function, and then asked Professor Bai and others from Happy Science to pay attention and see if an invigilator was coming over.

(Wait a minute, if I could do that, I might as well use my camera to scan the test paper and let Professor Bai tell me the answers directly. However, that would be no different than cheating with a normal phone and it wouldn’t show off all of its capabilities as a spy tool.)

Imagination scenario 2:

I was kidnapped by the 18 Bronzemen of the Shaolin Temple for some reason. Just when they were about to give me a beating with folding stools, my phone rang. Professor Bai remotely controlled my phone and played ‘The Most Dazzling Folk Style’ at the maximum volume. The 18 Bronzemen suddenly started to sway uncontrollably along to the beat. I took the opportunity to grab a folding stool and achieved a shocking 18 kill-streak with lightning speed.

As I was letting my imagination run wild, Professor Bai glanced at Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai, who were sitting in the back row of the conference room and then asked me:

“Do you want to know how favorably those two girls feel about you?”

That’s enough, do you think we’re playing a dating sim like Heartbeat Memorial? How would I see how much favorability Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai have for me? Would I see numbers jumping above their heads once I pay and become a VIP member?

“Oh, you may have misunderstood.” After seeing my skeptical expression, Professor Bai explained, “The so-called favorability can’t be seen with your eyes, nor can an accurate number representation be given. It’s measured through a mobile app I developed to make judgments.”

I showed him a look of disdain: “That would be no different than those fortune-telling apps on Android.”

Professor Bai sat up slightly in his chair. “Although the application has a simple interface, it’s by no means anything like those fortune-telling apps. It’s basically a simple interface for the karma calculation software. It can be used to predict the future within a narrow range.”

I was already tired of making a comeback about ‘predicting the future’, so I asked: “What narrow range?”

“You can only have text chats with girls simulated by the program…”

“Hey, that’s worse than a dating sim. It’s basically a chat program like SimSimi. If you want to install that application on my phone, that means you’re predicting a lonely future for me.”

Professor Bai glanced at Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai again, and at the same time lowered his voice:

“It’s not a lonely chat program with a computer, but it’s simulated based on real information in the database and through complex calculations of the calculation program. It’s a chat program that actually mimics a person’s personality and knows how to communicate with others. After saying something to it and receiving a likely reaction from the other person is essentially like a prediction of the future.”

“Really?” I frowned and expressed my disbelief. However, Professor Bai took out his phone and said that with a simple experiment, he could make me believe in the power of the calculation program.

After typing a line of text on his phone, Professor Bai placed the mobile phone face down on the table, cleared his throat, and asked me with a very serious expression: “Will you marry my granddaughter?”

“Holy shit, there was actually someone willing to marry your mentally ill son?”

Even though I knew that what Professor Bai said was done as an experiment, I still couldn’t help but blurt that out immediately.

Professor Bai laughed after he had achieved his goal, “Actually, I don’t have a granddaughter, and my son isn’t married, but you can pick up my phone and look at it now.”

I frowned slightly, turned over Professor Bai’s phone on the table, and saw the application with the simple interface that Professor Bai mentioned.

How simple was the interface? Well, have you seen the QQ interface from ten years ago? I saw it in a post called ‘Ten Year Review of QQ’s History’. It was when QQ’s icon was not a penguin but a pager. The application’s interface was as simple as QQ’s interface from that time. Professor Bai basically copied the interface of the original version of QQ.

At this moment, the chat window named ‘Ye Lin’ was open. The question Professor Bai had just asked to the virtual chat bot was naturally: “Will you marry my granddaughter?”

The virtual Ye Lin’s answer was:

“Come on, your son is mentally ill and has a split personality, who would be willing to marry him?”

Damn it, although it wasn’t 100% the same, it basically had the same meaning. Did Professor Bai fool me? Did he make a guess based on his understanding of me? Or was it really the calculation program that made a predication based on my data in the database?

“That doesn’t count.” I shook my head and said, “You suddenly said that you had a granddaughter and that Fang Xin had a daughter. I was so surprised that I just blurted it out. Ask me something else.”

Professor Bai took the phone back from my hand, “Ye Lin, do you know how much power the calculation program consumes for such a simple question? Moreover, if you take precautions in advance, there will be a lot more variables added and make the results of the simulated chat meaningless. By the way, I named this application ‘Heartbeat Questions and Answers’. What do you think, it suits it pretty well, right?

Damn, not only did you copy QQ’s interface from ten years ago, you also copied the name from the game ‘Heartbeat Memories’. If the application was installed on my phone, the friends displayed would be Xiao Qin, the class leader, Winnie, and Gong CaiCai, which would barely fit the name of ‘Heartbeat Questions and Answers’. Since you only have me as a friend on your own app, how would it be considered ‘Heartbeat Questions and Answers’? Who needs a person over 60 years asking questions to a middle school boy?

However, I have to admit that Professor Bai successfully captured my interests. If I can really know a girl’s answer to a certain question in advance with a high amount of accuracy, then couldn’t I use it as practice for a confession? Moreover, many questions that are absolutely embarrassing to ask face to face can also be asked to learn the other party’s reaction.

For example, if I ask the virtual class leader: “Can I touch your breasts?” If even the virtual class leader scolds me, then I can imagine that if I ask the same question in the real world, I will probably be shot.

Seeing my hesitation, Professor Bai assured me that the application he wrote definitely did not contain backdoor programs because it was set to run only on the ‘backdoor mode’ of phones like mines.

“If you’re worried, you can ask Dr. Yu to check it out later. You can show him the source code of the application. Anyway, this is just an input-feedback interface of the calculation program. The code is simple and clear, and you can tell whether there’s something hidden at a glance.”

Professor Bai’s words impressed me, and I had Dr. Yu to support me. I asked Professor Bai for the application installation package and installed “Heartbeat Questions and Answers” ??myself.

The first installation failed because I didn’t switch from ‘safe mode’ to the backdoor mode. As expected as Professor Bai said, ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ will perform a self-check when it’s running. If there’s no special key set by Fang Xin in the hardware chip, it will automatically shut down.

There was no point hiding it anymore. I quickly shook the phone 7 times and switched the phone to the backdoor mode in front of Professor Bai.

Actually, just shaking the phone isn’t enough. It has to be shaken ‘three times, one time, three times’. Otherwise, if you shake it randomly for more than seven times, it would automatically switch modes.

After switching modes, a small dead pixel would appear on the screen. Dr. Yu set it up like this to help me distinguish what mode I was using.

After the application was installed, the simple interface of ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ automatically appeared and exchanged data with the database. After waiting for more than a minute, 4 avatars appeared on my friend bar, and their names were: Xiao Qin, class leader, Gong CaiCai and… Professor Bai.

I leaned back, and my eyes immediately became wary when I looked at Professor Bai.

I didn’t expect that, I didn’t expect Professor Bai to be gay like Peng TouSi. Otherwise, why would your name appear in my friend-list on ‘Heartbeat Q&A’? Who wants to have a virtual conversation with you? I want to put you on the blacklist, where’s the blacklist function? Since it’s a copy of QQ, why doesn’t it have the blacklist function?

Seeing the obvious expression of disgust on my face, Professor Bai quickly explained: “My avatar isn’t used for the virtual Q&A, it’s a shortcut to contact me. You can think of me as a customer support representative. if you have any problems that you want me to help solve, you can use that avatar to report the situation to me.”

Professor Bai’s avatar looked quite similar to him, an elderly scientist wearing glasses, while the avatars of Xiao Qin, the class leader, and Gong CaiCai were more interesting, respectively it was a bandaged fist, a double-barrelled shotgun, and a melon.

Where did you find these icons? Forget about the fist the and shotgun, but does the melon refer to Gong CaiCai’s breasts? Do you want to say that Gong CaiCai’s breasts are her main body? Gong CaiCai even gave you a Teacher’s Day gift!

Thinking back, I think my avatar in ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ on Professor Bai’s phone was a cartoon gray wolf. I don’t know if it was designed for me because I call myself a ‘metal-blooded lone wolf’.
