Chapter 38 – What Have You Done?

Mr. Lee, Character Technology: Mr. Sinker, are you free lately? I have a rather large job, can you take it?

Shen Yu read the news, this Mr. Li is an old acquaintance, the project just submitted is their company.

Character Technology is a company that specialises in outsourcing software systems. Some of the next orders that they can’t do with their own technicians, they will then find a way to outsource them.

This is one of the most criticised aspects of the outsourcing industry. Not only do the layers of outsourcing cost a lot of money, but the quality of what is developed is not guaranteed and when problems arise, the responsibility is shifted downwards.

But for many companies without a technical gene, who are only good at operations, trying to build their own technical team is obviously a much more costly option, and without technical experience, they end up having to find an outsourcing company to do it.

Shen Yu has worked with Mr. Li many times.

Previously, he has taken on jobs personally, and given the time and workload, he usually does not take on large ones.

Now that Shen Yu and Zhao Yage have set up Three Blues Studio, with the help of Brother Duck and Chicken Girl, there are many more options to choose from.

Shen Yu got interested and messaged back to Mr. Li, who had just been at work and hadn’t checked his phone, and the message he sent was over 40 minutes old.

Sinking Fish: What project?

Mr. Li of Character Technology: It is a feature upgrade in the beauty camera app, including AI face changing, 3d fun emoji pack, portrait into anime style and other features.

It was almost time for school, so Shen Yu and Mr Li chatted as they packed their things for school.

Asaba Rika is on the first floor, I don’t know what he’s doing, probably taking a nap.

If it was before, Shen Yu would have gone straight out the door.

After thinking about it, I opened WeChat and sent her a message.

Sinking Fish: I’m off to school.

Luo Yan : Mmmmmm!

Asaba Rika is quick to reply to messages, unlike Shen Yu who turns off the alert and picks it up when it vibrates.

When she saw Shen Yu’s message that she was going out, she dropped her pen and ran to the window of her room on her bare little feet, shaking her hand at Shen Yu, who was walking out into the courtyard.

“I’ll take care of the family! Shen Yu come back early!”

Shen Yu turned his head to look at the bright sunlight and he squinted slightly.

In the first floor window she is wearing a beige halter top, her hair up behind her head, revealing her long, snow-white neck, and her little hands are waving vigorously.

Shen Yu :””

As for that, I’m just going to school, it’s like I’m going to war.

Shen Yu turned his head and took two steps outside, not looking back but still raising his own hand and waving it in the air to show that he knew.

There was an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, the feeling that someone at home was waiting for him to return.

When Shen Yu closed the courtyard door and left, Asaba Rika returned from the window and sat down at the table to continue drawing the cartoon.

It was only then that Bai Xiaomeng snapped out of the comic and ran super fast to the window, by which time Shen Yu had disappeared.

“Meow?”

Kam!

Reading the book is a mistake!

This is supposed to be my meow’s job, and I can’t believe it’s being taken!!!

” Xiaomeng come and see, this one of mine is super sweet.”

“Meow.”

Bai Xiaomeng doesn’t want to pay any attention to her and sits crouched by the window, sulking.

“I’ll draw the next one if you don’t come.”

“?”

Bai Xiaomeng ran over to look at it again, for nothing, but when Shen Yu came back later, he had to run faster than Asaba Rika.

Sinking Fish: Send me the specific demand file.

Mr. Lee, Character Technology: pieces

The upgrade that Mr. Li sent us was not too difficult for Shen Yu, and I think he was approached for this job because he thought the face recognition feature of the AI that he had done for his company was good.

Whether it’s an AI face swap or a camera feature like 3d fun emoji packs or portraits turned into anime style, the core part of what it takes to do better than other apps is still the algorithm of face recognition.

This includes live detection, face detection, face tracking, face matching, face attributes, etc. The corresponding data is captured by the camera and then passed through the algorithm, allowing the program to output the corresponding results.

Beauty apps are now popular for fun play, matching these real faces to the corresponding effects of cartoon characters.

Shen Yu has also thought of a good helper in Asaba Rika.

She has a good art background and can still give Shen Yu a lot of help, and if Shen Yu can provide cg face swap resources, the offer will also be included.

I didn’t think it would be useful to recruit her!

When he came to school, Shen Yu talked to Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage about it during recess and showed them the demand file.

“Where I ticked the boxes, the algorithm might be more complicated, I’ll do those parts, and then these pieces on the architecture, Liangji you can do that, right?”

Unlike Shen Yu, this was his first time working on an outsourcing project and there is a difference between paper and practice.

“It shouldn’t be a problem, you’re still here, if there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you.”

“OK, you’ll get familiar with it with more practice.”

” Yage, then the front-end pieces, and some of the ui changes are yours as well.”

“OK.”

Zhao Yage looked at Shen Yu’s reorganized demand file and wondered, “Are you taking on this cg resource too? Who will do the original artwork for the face swap?”

” Rika, let her try it.”

Zhao Yage nodded, as Asaba Rika was the boss’s wife anyway, so even if the original artwork didn’t work out, Shen Yu would be the one to wipe her ass.

“I think she’s clumsy.”

“It’s quite silly, teaching her to recognize the road at noon could make me live.” Shen Yu looked disgusted.

Zhao Yage naturally saw it in his eyes, this scumbag, so disgusted at the mention of Asaba Rika, really still has the idea of starting and ending a relationship in his heart!

“I’m not finished, what I mean is that she is indeed clumsy and if there is anything she doesn’t do well, you have to be more forgiving, you always have to learn to be tolerant when you live together.”

“?”

Shen Yu stared at her as if he didn’t know Zhao Yage, and touched her forehead.

Zhao Yage has been in a frenzy since our lunchtime meal, and now he’s back on his feet.

“Yage, are you nuts? Or did Rika feed you some kind of ecstasy, why are you taking care of her so much all of a sudden?”

“I just can’t stand to see her all alone and bullied over here!”

With that, Zhao Yage walked away with a grunt.

Shen Yu and Ke Liangji looked at each other, both confused.

Shen Yu : “Her relatives are here?” .

Ke Liangji : “Who?” .

Shen Yu : “It’s just that girls always have a few days when they are more abnormal.”

Ke Liangji : “Hasn’t she always been quite abnormal?”

Shen Yu thought about it, but yes, Zhao Yage did not look like a normal girl.

Other girls show the gentle side to the boys, but not her, only the rough side to the boys.

Shen Yu: “Did she say anything to you today?” .

“She said if I was like you, she’d rip my head off and pound it with a hammer.”

Ke Liangji shivered and said, “What the hell did you do? Don’t make me do what you did and then she’ll kill me!”

Shen Yu was even more confused: “What did I do?”

Ke Liangji couldn’t figure it out either and said breathlessly, “It can’t be that you did something to your far distant cousin, and you’re not that kind of person.”

“Get out.”
