The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 331 - Graduation (1).

Yang Dao asked the people to hide the car till the official event begins. The people agreed to it, after all, they were going to hold this presentation in front of the media. This event was not going to be a small one or low-profile by any means. 

A podium was set up by the new student volunteers and they all gazed at Yang Dao with complicated eyes. The boy was younger than them and still, he was the first to graduate, and that too from four courses. They were all confused about whether to worship him or to beat him to a pulp for raising the bar so much. 

On the other side, the video of the ghost car was getting more and more popular with every passing hour. The media was keen on such news like always and they carried out a small investigation. The results all led this car to Yang Dao. The people were already going to meet the guy at the early graduation ceremony being held at the college campus. They decided to ask him questions then. 

They all arrived at the college campus at the agreed time and found that the faculty was already at the spot and so was Yang Dao. Old Man Newt stood on the podium and said, "Thank you everyone for coming over today. The event today is the early graduation of one of the most brilliant students passing out from our institution.

You people already know about his different identities so that saves me the trouble to give him an exaggerated introduction. The student we are talking about is none other than the young man, Feng Yang Dao." 

He paused shortly and said, "Now I will be calling over to the mic, the principal, Madam Aislinn Jasper." 

The reporters were not the only people at the event, the students were also allowed to come over. Yang Dao's classmates were all there and they clapped loudly as the principal came over. The principal let the people clap for a bit and then she raised her hand to make them calm down in an instant. 

The lady's actions surprised the reporters. They did not expect the lady to have such good control of the situation in the college. The students all fell silent and the lady spoke, "When we all say that we will give it our all to pursue our dreams. However, do we give it our all? I do not know about anyone else, but I feel like, even I have at some moment slacked off in my pursuit of dreams. 

Yang Dao is the one person who gives me the inspiration to keep on moving forward. At the age of sixteen, he became the youngest student to top the entrance examinations and now at the age of seventeen years and a few months, this guy again is here to shock us all by graduating from college ahead of time. 

He did not drop any of his subjects for this and neither has he taken any examination. Yet the college faculty voted to let him pass, the reason behind this decision will be put in front of everyone. I would like to present to you, Feng Yang Dao."

Under the applause from the students, Yang Dao walked over from the side. He bowed to the principal slowly and after she gestured him to take the podium, the boy took the mic. 

He tapped the mic twice and spoke with a smile, "Hello ladies and gentleman. Thank you for finding time and coming over. I know that you may have a lot of questions for me, but let me first present to you my graduation projects." he paused and said, "I have four courses. Two major and two minor. The major once are, Physics and computer operations. While the minor ones are Arts and psychology. 

The projects I have prepared for the courses are two prototype devices for the major courses, one art piece and a thesis for the minor ones. Let us talk about my thesis first, the topic I selected was Human Nature. 

I want to say that when we are born, we are just plain normal humans. We have no tags of religions, casts, creeds or even a name. However, as we group up, we forgive this. We become the part of a race that is not visible to us. 

I would like to use an example here, the leaders of the countries all wish to be supreme and they all might even have the idea to rule the world. I want to ask you, what is so good about ruling the world. Can your armies outnumber the masses, or do you plan to eradicate the masses with those weapons you all create? If so, then what will you be ruling? A graveyard? 

The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. I may be sounding hypocritical to you right now, but it is not a bad thing to be rich. What makes the difference is how you use your wealth. My sister owns, one office building, one courtyard mansion, and two suite apartments. I own a office building. As for the factories we now, I cannot recount them. 

Yet, the treatment we provide to our employees is the best. They get an accommodation and the company never undermines there achievements. That is leadership, to make a company/society that can work on its own. You earn good so you have the right to wear good. But would it be too much to contribute a small part of it to the society? I think no. 

Contribution can alleviate a lot many things, such as pollution, global weather anomalies, social distress and poverty. If the people of a nation stop using personal vehicles for just one day in a week, the carbon emission will fall down. This practise may not have effect in the short term but it the long term it will save the planet. 

Our planet is not going to end on its own, but the humans themselves will be the reason of this end. The resources we have on our planet will not end on their own but the ill-management caused by the humans will be the reason. It will all come down to the age of cannibalism if the humans did not learn to contribute. If humans did not savor and culture the humanity between each other first the world will end. 

The conclusion of my research is that the humans do not understand the meaning of humanity so they must first learn what humanity is before they call themselves human."

The atmosphere was quite and the reporters could not help but clap after the speech. They thought they were inside a humanity seminar. Yang Dao smiled and continued the piece of Art I prepared is a portrait similar to the one in my office, the white tiger. The one I made this time is called The Azure Dragon. Due to it's size being too big, you can look at it after the event the principal confiscated it." 

He made a painful face to make the people laugh. Then he said, "The next project is for the Computer operations. This is a prototype device which is made and designed solely by me using the three dimensional printers. This device is called RCP-001. Since it is a prototype I have not assigned a name to it." 

He took out a small device that could be hung over his ear. He pressed a button on the side of the device and it lit up. Yang Dao said, "This device is capable of projecting your computer at home to anywhere in the world. It uses a holographic projector and that projector, will cast an exact copy of your computer screen to any sort of surface in front of you." 

He displayed how the device worked under the low exclaimaion of the people. he said, "The few aspects that stops this project from being put into production are the lack of privacy and battery power at the moment but this will be solved very quickly and hopefully in a few months you all will be using it." 

A wave of applause erupted once again. Yang Dao said, "Now, the last project. This one surely will be a shocker for you all. As it might change the face of transportation as it is. This project is also a prototype model. I call it Quinn .2, yes, I modified my favorite car for this one." 

He waved his hand and with a whizzing voice a car came in front of everyone. The car was Quinn but it had no tires. The people were shocked to see that this car was actually floating. Icarus and the rest stood in the crowd and the boy said, "This perverted monster. What did he eat to design something like this." 

Kiya stomped on his foot and said, "Curse him again and I cut off your tongue." 

The people behind them chuckled. The reporters were busy taking pictures and making videos.. They even forgot Yang Dao at this moment.
