Chapter 48

However, the CPU is still just a concept for now. After all, researching such a thing isn't something one person can accomplish alone. Although the current CPU is simple, and there are similar processing devices on GameTV, to truly create a CPU that can support a microcomputer, funding is essential. Catherine is also very attentive to this area, after all, the world's first microcomputer was born in 1966, and she wants to release hers before then.

Being the first to market has significant advantages.

Just like Seymour Cray, who is now in seclusion, is working on a computer to release it before IBM.

Since Catherine has handed over her work to Bruce, she has temporarily become more relaxed.

On the other hand, Mars also mentioned that he could contact many of his comrades, but they are all quite old, the youngest being 40.

This isn't a problem; soldiers who participated in World War II are the best instructors.

Moreover, she doesn't necessarily have to recruit retired soldiers... the international situation is chaotic, and there are many people who can't survive. Why not form a foreign legion worldwide?

After all, the French Foreign Legion is the most combat-effective unit in France...

However, this matter isn't fully prepared yet, and the company hasn't even been established, so many things can't be done for now.

As for the "Magic Chess" series, although business is busy, with a well-established sales department, Catherine doesn't have to handle matters there personally.

Incidentally, Catherine's "Harry Potter" somehow seemed to have offended the Puritans, but fortunately, the controversy quickly died down. Catherine thought about it and realized that the origin of Hogwarts in "Harry Potter" was problematic.

Hogwarts is a magic school that accompanied British Puritans to America, and they probably have issues with the connection between Puritans and magic.

Friday, October 6th, in the afternoon.

Catherine is now in a villa in the southern suburbs of New York.

"From now on, this will be our secret base~" Lily smiled.

"Oh, my God, you actually bought it?"

Catherine was somewhat incredulous.

They had talked about buying a villa, but she didn't expect them to actually go through with it.

Ada shrugged, "Not yet, we just rented it for a month. We don't have enough money yet."

That makes sense. Although the fashion company is profitable, the largest shareholders are Catherine and Homer, and Homer wouldn't possibly co-invest in a house with a group of young girls.

But Catherine was moved.

Even though they haven't gone inside, the villa looks quite nice from the outside.

It has an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool. The indoor pool is made of one-way glass facing the road, and the environment inside the villa is quiet. The back door leads to a residential area with a supermarket, which is quite convenient.

"Then let's buy it, I can help with the funding."

Catherine suggested.

"Kate, you're so nice~" Lily happily hugged Catherine.

"But... what about the property deed?" Jenny seemed to care about this.

"Just put all our names on it!" Lily smiled.

"Alright, let's go inside and take a look!" Ada couldn't wait.

"Relax, didn't we come here before..." Lisa held a bag containing the swimsuits she designed, "Well, I can't wait either."

As soon as they entered the house, Catherine noticed that it wasn't decorated and looked a bit empty, but the basic renovation was complete. It seemed to be a newly built house.

The villa has three floors, with the third floor being an attic, but even the attic is spacious.

There is a bathroom at the back, and outside the bathroom is a corridor leading to both pools.

The indoor pool faces the city, but because of the one-way glass, no one can see inside from the outside, while from inside, the view of the outside is clear, which is quite nice.

The outdoor pool is accessible through the corridor on the other side. It has sun loungers for sunbathing, and the surroundings are lush with green trees, completely blocking the outside view, making it feel like a paradise.

"This place is really nice, even better than my grandfather's house."

Jenny praised. She had only heard about it from Lily, Ada, and Lisa, but now that she was here, she realized the environment was really great.

"New York has such a good place... I didn't know."

Catherine was also a bit envious.

If she had known about this place earlier, she would have bought it long ago.

"Let's go swimming!" Lisa suggested, then took out all the swimsuits she had prepared.

"Which pool should we go to?"

"Let's go to the outdoor one. Although it's still hot, it's already October, and soon it will be too cold. The indoor pool has air conditioning and water heating, so we can use it even in winter."

Everyone agreed.

So, Lisa distributed the swimsuits she had made, and they all went to the changing rooms to change.

"Kate~ You've grown even more!"

As Catherine came out of the changing room, Lisa said this to her.

"Really?"

Catherine hadn't noticed this issue. She had only recently felt that her bra was a bit tight, but she hadn't realized anything else.

She looked down and saw that her chest did seem a bit larger.

She was wearing a white one-piece swimsuit that exposed her entire back, but from the front, it didn't look too revealing. However, the swimsuit did highlight her figure. Although she was only 13, her body was already developing, growing strong and healthy.

Catherine didn't show any abnormal reaction. She had come to a realization: the most important skill she needed with this group of girls was a thick skin. As long as her face was thick enough, no problem would be a problem.

"Kate, what's wrong with your feet?" Ada noticed Catherine's feet.

"Nothing." Catherine also looked down.

But she did notice that her feet seemed a bit deformed...

Uh.

This was caused by practicing ballet.

Although Catherine values her self-care, some things are unavoidable.

After Ada pointed it out, Lisa also noticed, "Oh my God, Kate! Your feet are like this!"

To be honest, Catherine's feet didn't look bad at first glance, and her foot shape was quite perfect, just a bit off. Lisa was overreacting.

"Practicing ballet is like this," Jenny added.

"How can this be?"

Lisa seemed more anxious than Catherine.

"Maybe you should see a doctor and see if there's a way to correct it."

"It can be done with some external devices. This kind of corrective guidance is quite common..." Jenny added.

Catherine then looked at her seriously.

After all, who doesn't want to be perfect?

Catherine hadn't paid much attention to this before, but it's not too late to correct it now.
