DCBS: Chapter 41

“Two exploding custard croissants, one coconut milk square cube, a total of…”

In front of the cash register, Pei Qingyuan took the tray handed by the customer, neatly packed the soft and fragrant bread in small bags and checked it out for the customer. Then he handed the neatly folded paper back to the customer.

“You are welcome to come next time.”

His movements were so fast that the two girls who came to check out didn’t have time to secretly take photos. They instinctively looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing.

“Hey, I told you to turn on the camera in advance.”

“Ahem, I didn’t think of it. Hurry and try the croissants while they are hot. If they are delicious then we can buy them later.”

“Nonsense, you aren’t here to buy bread…”

Pei Qingyuan pretended not to hear these whispers and watched the two laughing customers push open the door and leave.

Through the clean glass windows, one could see the store owner He Shiwen and the pastry chef being busy together in the back kitchen.

Another salesperson was organizing the shelves. Pei Qingyuan stood alone at the cash register, waiting for the next customer to choose their bread and walk toward him.

At the same time, Ji Tong’s solemn question echoed in his mind.

“…Last question. What are the rules that guide the search direction of genetic algorithms?”

“The Probabilistic Optimization Method,” Pei Qingyuan quickly replied. “There is no need for definite rules.”

The moment he spoke, he instantly heard Ji Tong’s suddenly happy voice, “The class quizzes are all correct. Class is over!”

Pei Qingyuan finally relaxed but Ji Tong seemed to be looking forward to leaving class more than him and let out a long sigh of relief.

The host was dedicated to working and learning for half the day. It had to be said that this bakery part-time job was very suitable for people to think due to the mechanical labor. He gained money and knowledge, so it was a double harvest.

It was Ji Tong who taught this knowledge to Pei Qingyuan and tested it, but he often taught without thinking. He was like an emotionless broadcasting machine and directly let the data judge whether the host’s answer was correct or not.

It was because these awkward and complicated nouns sounded really overwhelming.

After all, he was just a stupid human disguised as an artificial intelligence. He used to study hard every day when he was a human being. Now he could quickly acquire a large amount of data without using his brain so he naturally chose to abandon knowledge and eat more cheese.

Once Ji Tong’s voice completely disappeared, the colorful light on the dial gradually dimmed. Pei Qingyuan skillfully shifted his gaze toward the door of the store, waiting for the wind chimes to ring.

The croissant trend had passed and there weren’t many people queuing up at the Xingyue Bakery recently. People who liked to chase trends had long been attracted by the next hot spot.

Still, on the whole, the daily turnover of the store was much higher than the past. Many customers who lived nearby would also pick up some other pastries when coming to buy the exploding custard croissants. Then after tasting them, these customers found that the taste was good and they gradually became regular customers.

In this regard, the owner He Shiwen was happy. He had long been worried that everyone would be tired of croissants and had developed many new products. In this way, every day would be so busy that he didn’t have time to slack off.
