Chapter 1012 [Xiangmi 1 Life 1 21]
Zhou Shengren slowly opened the door and walked into the room, his eyes falling on the new thing in the room. It was a brand new robot, standing quietly in the corner, as if waiting for his arrival.
Zhou Shengren approached the robot curiously and looked at it carefully. The robot's shell showed a silver-gray metallic texture, with smooth lines and a simple and elegant design. He gently pressed the power button on the robot, and with a "beep", the robot's eyes lit up and emitted a slight buzzing sound.
"Hello, my master." The robot said in a slightly mechanical voice.
Zhou Shengren looked at the robot in surprise, then asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"My number is 0018, master, you can call me Eighteen." The robot answered crisply.
"Okay, Eighteen." Zhou Shengren nodded, approving the name.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Eighteen's tone was very respectful.
Zhou Shengren thought about it and decided to learn about the robot's functions first, so he asked, "What can you do?"
Eighteen immediately replied: "I can play songs, do the Yangko dance, clean the house, cook, etc."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Zhou Shengren couldn't help but admire, "Then show me a Yangko dance."
"Okay, master, let's start dancing the yangko now." There seemed to be a hint of excitement in Eighteen's voice. It quickly adjusted its posture, and its two robotic arms began to twirl handkerchiefs and dance.
Eighteen's movements were very flexible, and its body twisted to the rhythm of the music at a very fast speed, which was dazzling. Zhou Shengren was amused by Eighteen's performance and laughed out loud. He thought this robot was really interesting.
In a moment of carelessness, the handkerchief seemed to have wings and flew over Zhou Shengren's head with a whoosh. Zhou Shengren was very angry. He picked up the handkerchief and asked Eighteen, "Eighteen, what's wrong with you? How could this handkerchief fly away by itself?"
Eighteen scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained, "I'm sorry, Master, this is my first time practicing and I'm not very experienced yet, so it's a little awkward. But don't worry, I know how to do it now and I won't drop it again!"
After hearing what Shiba said, Zhou Shengren looked at him doubtfully, then threw the handkerchief back to Shiba and said, "Okay, then try again."
Shi Ba quickly took the handkerchief and continued to spin it carefully. This time, the handkerchief really didn't fall off. Seeing this, Zhou Shengren nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, not bad, keep it up!"
However, unexpectedly, Eighteen seemed to be completely unable to withstand the praise. Just as Zhou Shengren finished his words, the handkerchief suddenly flew to Zhou Shengren's head again, as if it was cast by magic, and landed exactly on the same spot as before, with no deviation at all!
"Eighteen, you continue." Zhou Shengren said expressionlessly, and at the same time casually threw the handkerchief in his hand into Eighteen's robotic hand.
However, something unexpected happened - the handkerchief seemed to be cast under a magic spell. After drawing an arc in the air, it flew back to Zhou Shengren's head exactly, and landed in exactly the same position as before!
Zhou Shengren couldn't help but widen his eyes and look suspicious. He didn't believe it was just a coincidence, so he decided to try again.
He picked up the handkerchief and threw it hard at Eighteen again, secretly praying that this time it would be different. But the result disappointed him greatly, as the handkerchief seemed to have eyes and flew back to his head accurately.
Zhou Shengren's brows furrowed more and more, and he began to wonder if Eighteen was deliberately teasing him. After all, such a coincidence was too incredible.
"Eighteen, did you do this on purpose?" Zhou Shengren finally couldn't help but ask, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his tone.
Eighteen's electronic eyes flickered a few times, as if thinking about how to answer. After a while, it said in an emotionless mechanical voice: "Master, no, I really didn't mean it. It's all because I'm not very experienced, so I made such a mistake. Besides, robots don't lie, please believe me."
Zhou Shengren looked at Eighteen's serious expression, and his doubts were slightly relieved. Although he was not completely convinced by Eighteen's explanation, he could not find a better reason to refute it.
"Okay, I'll trust you for once." Zhou Shengren sighed helplessly and decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Just then, Lian Sui came over and shouted to Zhou Shengren with a smile: "Xiaoren, it's time to eat!"
When Zhou Shengren heard Lian Sui's call, he quickly responded, "Okay, Sister Lian Sui, I'll be right there."
However, when Lian Sui's eyes fell on the item in Zhou Shengren's hand, she couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression and asked curiously: "Hey, Xiaoren, is this the thing your future sister-in-law gave you? How come it can move?"
Seeing this, Zhou Shengren smiled and explained, "Sister Lian Sui, this is not an ordinary thing. It is a robot given to me by my sister-in-law. It is called Eighteen. Come, Eighteen, say hello to Sister Lian Sui."
As soon as he finished speaking, the robot Zhou Shengren called Eighteen actually started to move like a human. It said in a clear voice, "Hello, Lian Sui, you can call me Eighteen."
Lian Sui was obviously very curious about this talking and moving robot. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, hello, Eighteen! Xiaoren, this robot is so rare. I have never seen it before. It must be very expensive, right?"
Zhou Shengren nodded and replied, "Yes, Sister Lian Sui, I don't know the exact price, but I know it is very valuable now."
"Oh my god, isn't fourth uncle so awesome? He actually has such a golden child like fourth uncle and aunt." Lian Sui exclaimed, his face full of envy.
Zhou Shengren looked at Lian Sui, raised his lips slightly, and said jokingly: "If Big Brother knew that you framed him like this, he would definitely come after you."
Lian Sui smiled disapprovingly and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Goddess Lin's family background seems too good to be true."
Zhou Shengren nodded, indicating that he agreed with Lian Sui's opinion. Then he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I remember Sister Lian Sui, do you like my sister-in-law?"
Lian Sui's face turned red, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "Yes, I am her loyal fan. I didn't expect that we would become a family in the end. I can see the goddess' face often in the future."
Zhou Shengren couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He said, "I think the possibility of your doing this is quite small. After getting married, people will definitely move out and it's unlikely that they will live in the old house."
“Ah, but it doesn’t matter. I can go and take care of Goddess Lin. I cook delicious food.” Lian Sui said confidently, as if she had become Goddess Lin’s exclusive chef.
After hearing this, Zhou Shengren smiled and responded: "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are not bad, and she has a robot at home that can cook, so she doesn't have to cook by herself at all."
Lian Sui was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly regained his smile and continued, "Then I can go and help with the housework. I'm really good at tidying up the room."
However, Zhou Shengren shook his head and explained, "This sister-in-law's family also has special robots to take care of these things. Even tidying up the flower garden is done by robots, so there is no need for human intervention at all."
After hearing this, Lian Sui couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, I suddenly feel so poor now. Compared with my sister-in-law's family, there is a huge difference."
Zhou Shengren quickly comforted him, "Haha, don't say that. Everyone has a different way of life. We also have our own happiness."
Lian Sui nodded, smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I know, but I suddenly envy my sister-in-law's high-tech life. I feel like I'm a little bit rich."
