Before Cosmos saw Anthony begin, the bloke always felt that this might just be a joke.
After all, a child of just a few years old, even if they seem a bit mature for their age, was still a child.
However, upon witnessing Anthony's swift fingers, Cosmos was thoroughly convinced.
He turned his head to look at Dave, his expression one of wanting to say something, yet holding back.
After seeing Dave's accustomed gaze, Cosmos finally put away his ignorant demeanor.
After all, he had already been burned once for misjudging people at Natasha's place. This time, he absolutely couldn't let it happen again!
Shifting his gaze, he walked straight toward Anthony, and he watched for a while standing behind him. Anthony had a lollipop in his mouth, his little hands dancing on the keyboard at full tilt. His proficiency made it seem as simple as writing one, two, three.
The screen reflected Anthony's expression, he looked cool and aloof.
Leaning over, Cosmos was at eye level with Anthony, watching line after line of code appeared on the screen. He couldn't help but ask, “Did Natasha teach you all of this?”
“What?” Anthony raised an eyebrow.
“Fine. Just do as you please,” Cosmos said.
Anthony tilted his head to look at him. “Do you know my mom?”
“Last time she came to give it a try, and she went solo for the whole event,” Cosmos said.
Upon hearing this, Anthony casually nodded. “I see,” He said, and then refocused his attention back to typing his code.
Cosmos, still quite curious, leaned in close to his ear. “So, this thing can be learned, right?”
“What?”
Cosmos pointed his chin toward the monitor in front of him.
Only then did Anthony react, his gaze fixed on the monitor as he asked without blinking. “What do you think?”
“I think...” Cosmos was about to say something, but upon seeing Anthony's move, his eyes lit up instantly, and even his words paused. He stared straight at the screen, his gaze filled with disbelief. However, after Anthony completed a difficult move, he was completely stunned.
“What do you think?” Anthony asked, sucking on his lollipop and turning his head to glance at him again.
Cosmos was tongue tight, he found himself forgetting what he had just said, as he listened to Anthony's words.
After a while, he looked at Anthony. “I think... I mean what do I think?” Cosmos said. Then remember his question as he looked at Anthony “How do you manage to chat with me while doing such a difficult task?”
“Is it difficult?” Anthony retorted.
Cosmos was speechless.
Glancing back, he saw Dave who was behind him and wanted to complain. However, Dave was busy on his phone, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.
Cosmos narrowed its gaze, looking at Anthony. “Kid, you're getting a bit audacious, aren't you?”
Anthony merely glanced at him lightly, responding with nothing but a smile.
Really? Am I?
However, since Anthony didn't come as Anonymous, he naturally wouldn't use that identity to pressure him. Hence, he continued to operate the computer with his hands.
Cosmos bore no malice towards Anthony, but rather, he was filled with admiration. From Natasha to Anthony, these were the two times he had been questioning his own skills.
Moreover, these were the surprises he hadn't anticipated.
