Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the destination, far away from the sights of others. Ling Qingyu parked the Landcruiser and waved her wrist as a gesture to release the armed helicopter, Tang Ziyi requested.

She didn't need to gesture as long as her mental concentration properly did the job. However, when external behavior acts got involved, everything surged in a positive way.

For instance, there was a research from Country J that inputting gesture while the test subjects spoke resulted in improvement from every angle. Even the task was done more beautifully without errors.

Well, people likely made fewer mistakes when the entire body got involved. Naturally, Ling Qingyu had no idea about this research but she knew for a fact that gesturing facilitated her action.

The sudden appearance of the armed helicopter was only seen by Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu, who were wearing night vision goggles.

Athena had already interfered with satellite imagery to ensure the perfect logical appearance.

This was the reason why Tang Ziyi knocked out the male agent, who was mostly the highest threat to expose their secrets.

Injured Sophia, a drugged female agent and ignorant girls posed nothing, nor the slightest difficulties.

"Who's flying?" Ling Qingyu asked when she thought that if she served as a pilot, the Doraemon advantage would be lost. If Tang Ziyi flew, the entire command chain would be disrupted.

None of the choices appealed to her. Tang Ziyi understood Ling Qingyu's worries and answered. "Athena, she'll be commandeering the gunship."

"Athena…" Ling Qingyu stopped talking. She had never seen a fully autonomous aircraft but since Athena perfectly produced automobiles driven by AI, she believed her daughter would do the same excellence for the helicopter.

Of course, what stopped her from further questioning was that she saw Athena's hologram on the pilot seat.

She was certain that there was never a pilot when she released the aircraft. So, the real cause belonged to Athena's tweaking. Heck, even these unnecessary devices were put to work in the gunship?

No more words, she exited the vehicle and popped the trunk. Tang Ziyi followed suit. The whirling of the rotors began.

The gunship design leaned on the futuristic and aggressive angular factors. Obviously, it was built for stealth, with a sleek, angular shape for reduced radar visibility like RAH-66 Comanche.

The composite and streamlined fuselage exuded state-of-the-art smell. However, its width wasn't small. From the front, a single-pilot machine provided ample space for a human to maneuver in contrast to modern aircraft where compact living space was preferred.

The ease and comfort was shown at a maximum level. The pilot had excellent visibility due to a large, wraparound canopy with a dark-tinted appearance, flaunting the aura of intimidation and protection.

The most noteworthy of the gunship, unlike what Ling Qingyu had seen before was that there was no tail rotor. The tail boom was wider instead to accommodate NOTAR ducted fan system. The small vented slots along the boom would eject high-pressure air to stabilize and control the yaw.

With an H-shape horizontal stabilizer, the center also consisted of additional slots to blow out air from behind so that the aircraft flew faster than conventional aircraft.

These were what Athena explained briefly, citing NOTAR technology where even throughout the entire world, less than a handful designs was produced.

Although the whirling wasn't small, Ling Qingyu felt the noise quieter. What she didn't know was that the Four-Bladed Main Rotor—composite plus low radar cross-section—minimized noise through superb rotor blade design, where it features swept-back tips.

From the outside, the armament didn't change much. Fixed Winglets with 3 hardpoints extended from each of the fuselage, carried rocket pods.

The obvious, chin-mounted cannon struck fear to anyone whose eyes laid on them. The same applied to Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi even though both knew Athena was controlling them.

There were also retractable side-mounted missile pods, that could hide the weaponry to lower its radar presence. A spherical sensor on top of the rotor mast told the viewers that the gunship attained 360-degree surveillance.

Ling Qingyu withdrew her gaze and focused on the task. She and Tang Ziyi pulled out the stretcher, housing Sophia who was in rest.

The patient's eyes looked around with curiosity as she heard the presence of a helicopter very close. However, the darkness was expected to disappoint her expectations.

Tang Ziyi took the lead while she grabbed from behind. The rear ramp opened gradually as the duo neared the gunship. A dim red light illuminated the space inside.

Not too big, not small either for a special-purpose armed gunship. The space designed here must be intended to transport casualties or ammunition to the frontline where the environment was too hot for ordinary military helicopters to handle.

Ling Qingyu had no idea what Tang Ziyi and Athena had in mind. They must have their own ideas and plans to produce this prototype.

After placing Sophia, Ling Qingyu returned to carry the drugged female agent while Tang Ziyi hoisted the man, followed by the girl.

Tang Ziyi reminded the girl, who was in the most healthy state of what to pay attention and to listen to Athena's instruction.

The girl nodded fervently, her glances roaming around nonstop. Tang Ziyi rolled her eyes and no longer paid attention.

Anyway, this girl wouldn't pick up more troubles once inside. Even if she did, nothing would occur to the gunship.

The girl, the unconscious man, and the female agent sat around Sophia's stretcher. The former waved her hand as the ramp began to close.

Looking at the energetic girl, unlike the panicked one during a firefight, Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi lamented her courage and heart.

Without hesitation, both returned to the Landcruiser as the whirling pitched up and blew leaves and grasses. The duo squinted and angled their faces to avoid the sand and debris, flying around owing to the rotor wash.

The cargo compartment in the rear was possible perhaps because of no tail rotor, Ling Qingyu assumed.

Both watched as the gunship steadily lifted off and swung in the direction of Province N until the contour hid under the night sky and disappeared from their sight.

"Damn, I wish to fly that machine. I've never seen such a futuristic appealing gunship," sighed Ling Qingyu.

"Don't say you, I also have the same wish. That beast is now commandeered by your daughter." Tang Ziyi snorted with disgust. She really wanted to try but the situation demanded her presence.

So, Athena took all the benefits. Ling Qingyu smiled and shook her head. "Hey, at least, you design the machine really well. What's its main function?"

"The same as other gunships to provide fire support."

"Oh? I thought you also included transportation capability."

"Nah, transport isn't the main goal though this gunship can adapt in severe cases."

"Hey, we need transport more, isn't it?" Ling Qingyu asked with a puzzled face.

"Don't worry, enlarge the size with an additional pilot. There, we have a utility gunship."

"Okay, so long as you're happy and don't consume my wealth like burning fistfuls of cash." Ling Qingyu humphed. "What's its name?"

"Eh, I didn't have any idea yet. It's just a serial number to me—AH-01."

"You're to lazy to give a name." Ling Qingyu scoffed.

"Me..me…Mom, I have one." Athena interrupted.

Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi exchanged helpless glances. This naughty daughter still paid attention to their dialog.

"Alright, girl. Shoot it away." Ling Qingyu didn't have much hope. But this daughter was better at naming compared to the two idiots, here.

"Since you have Aegis as an armored vehicle, why don't we name our helicopter as Virgin."

"What the F***?" Tang Ziyi cursed with her eyes bulging.

"Yeah, what the heck, Athena? How could you name it like that? It sounds so weird and cringe." Ling Qingyu shuddered as she tried to call out. "Virgin 1, Virgin 2…Eww. I think Witcher or Witch is more domineering."

"Agreed," Tang Ziyi nodded. "I suppose Banshee seems a lot more presentable. Not a VIRGIN."

Okay, strangely, both Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi believed their standard was higher than Athena. The AI daughter now sucked in naming all of a sudden.

"Mom, pretty please. Let me name it this way, because it's very important for me." Athena begged coquettishly and sold her cuteness to an extreme.

Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi felt their hearts were hit hard and melted. But they would regret soon for not sticking to their opinion till the end.

"Aiya…Darling, come on if you can convince me, we'll accept your decision." Ling Qingyu waved her hand and leaned against Landcruiser.

Tang Ziyi shrugged and allowed Ling Qingyu to be a decision maker. She was also curious what Athena had in mind.

"Well, Mom and Aunt, you know my name is Athena, citing as an incarnation of the goddess of wisdom, right?"

"Yes." Ling Qingyu and Athena prodded their heads, their bad feelings trembled more and more.

"You already have Aegis, as Athena's shield. I want a powerful Warmachine to be named after my spear."

"Don't tell me the name of her Spear is Virgin."

"Yes, so, please give the title of Virgin to honor the goddess."

Tang Ziyi: "…"

Ling Qingyu: "…"

Had her daughter gotten swollen recently? She believed Athena needed a beating very much.
