I Really Like That Guy! - v13 Chapter 3

Arlo communicated to the assistant that she wanted to buy the android number seventy-eight.

Although in her capacity, it is fine to take it directly for research reasons, but just in case, Arlo still intends to go through the proper channels, so that the robot completely belongs to her.

The assistant’s expression remained unchanged behind the screen, and he repeated: “Doctor, are you sure to buy the No. 78 bionic robot?”

“Yes, you send the purchase contract as soon as possible.”

The assistant nodded, “Okay, wait a moment.”

After a while, the assistant replied: “I have sent you a contract. Since you are an insider of the company, there are certain preferential policies, and considering the failure of the 78th, the boss said that the price will be reduced by 50%. , giving you a 50% discount.”

Arlo opened the terminal and looked at the electronic contract in the email. The contract contained seventy-eight body information, instructions for use, precautions, as well as how to maintain the android, and the rules of the robot. There were a lot of them.

In the future, the world will implement paperless reading. If these contents are printed on paper, I am afraid that the manual will be half a centimeter thick.

A Luo hurriedly skipped some basic information and went directly to the final payment interface. When she saw the numbers on the screen, she couldn’t help smacking her tongue even though she had expected it.

It is indeed a high-end brand bionic person, even if it is 50% off, the price is still ridiculously expensive.

Fortunately, her salary is still generous, and she can be regarded as a high-income group, otherwise she really can’t afford him.

Just when Arlo was paying for the purchase, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small robot icon next to the payment interface. The little robot pulled the window frame with its two small hands, and looked inside with a probing head, looking very curious.

“Do you want to confirm the payment?” The system issued a soft female voice.

A Luo nodded, a light swept across her face, and the next second showed that the payment was successful, and then the online bank also sent her a balance reminder.

[The current deposit balance of your central bank savings card is 5,212,730 yuan. ]

The little robot probably found that A Luo ignored him and climbed in from the window with his short legs. He was like returning to his own home in the online world. He walked freely without saying anything. He could touch everything on the terminal at will. and changes.

His chip is the most advanced electronic chip on the market. Hundreds of millions of integrated circuits are burned on a small chip, and its functions are very powerful.

The little robot walked over to the balance reminder, looked at it with a probe, and a “?” symbol appeared on the top of the villain’s head.

Then, he stretched out his little hand and fiddled with the numbers a few times, and then Arlo saw that the number on it had changed. It was originally more than 5.2 million. The little robot added a zero at the back, and it became five. Thousands.

A Luo looked at it and couldn’t help bending the corners of his eyes.

“Dr. Xia, did you find out what’s wrong with No. 78?” The assistant asked when she saw that her expression had changed before hanging up the communication.

A Luo’s eyes were still focused on the little robot, and he said casually, “No, so I plan to buy him and study it carefully.”

Assistant: “…you are really dedicated.”

At the end of the communication, Arlo raised his finger, touched the little robot on the screen with his fingertips, carefully lifted him, and took him to the side.

“It’s useless, the digital currency is stored in the online bank, and all you change is the content of the email.”

It should have understood her words, and the little robot lowered its head in frustration. This depression can still be felt even through the screen.

Due to the behavior of the little robot chasing arrows, she turned off the sight-catching system, so she needed to swipe with her hands to operate anything.

The fingers quickly clicked on the screen to close the mail and payment windows. The little robot stood on the table and looked up at her movements with its little head raised.

His icon is a standard system style, with a cylindrical body, plus four cylindrical hands and feet, a small round head, and two big yellow eyes like light bulbs on the head.

Arlo thought about it, opened the system mall, and picked out a system skin gift package.

“I bought you a set of clothes, and you can play by yourself.” After a while, she said sternly, “Remember your responsibilities, the electrical system and various equipment maintenance at home, my personal itinerary and to-do list. , these are all things you have to do.”

Any robot understands its role, it’s something that is etched into their system, and they inherently know how to serve humans.

Arlo knew that the robot in front of him was different.

He is new to this world, he is a new life.

The little robot didn’t seem to hear her. It happily trotted into the system backpack and found the appearance package that it just bought.

This package is not just for robots, but the overall appearance of the terminal.

A Luo originally didn’t care about the appearance of the system. She didn’t pay attention to whether her terminal interface looked good or not, and she didn’t have the intention to change it. She thought it was all meaningless.

It’s like that although she is engaged in the research of androids, she has never thought of buying a android. In her eyes, even if a android looks like a human, it is still a cold machine in essence.

It’s a little ridiculous to look to machines for companionship and solace.

Therefore, her light-brain interface has always been its own system theme, simple gray and white, eliminating all bells and whistles.

However, looking at the silly appearance of the little robot just now, for some reason, she suddenly felt that he might like those gadgets that she thought were gimmicky.

Sure enough, the performance of the little robot completely confirmed her guess.

He stomped his feet, took out a set of clothes from the spree, and the next second the clothes were changed to him, and it suddenly changed from the original gray form to a pink ball robot.

The ball robot has no hands and feet. It only has a pink ball body and a small head above the body. When walking, it rolls around on the screen.

The light brain screen was also changed to a girly pink color, and every software icon also changed.

The little pink ball rolls around, rolls around, hits the edge of the screen, and then bounces with a puff.

Seeing him having a good time, Arlo didn’t even notice it, and the corners of her mouth kept rising.

When it was almost time to eat, Arlo turned off the terminal, walked to the sofa and sat down, picking up the test tube on the table.

The glass test tube contained a pink translucent solution, and Arlo uncorked the bottle and drank the solution in the test tube.

The solution is a little viscous, and the taste is lightly sweet, with the fragrance of strawberries.

This is a nutrient solution that replenishes the body’s energy. It contains all the trace elements needed by the human body, and can also make you feel full. It is the perfect meal replacement product.

The nutrient solution is convenient and hygienic to eat, and it can also supplement the energy needed by the body. The price is much cheaper than buying vegetables and cooking by yourself.

The global climate has also undergone major changes due to urbanization expansion and land development, and the cost of growing natural food has increased. Today, people who can eat three meals a day are basically only the upper class.

Arlo can actually afford such a life, but she still chooses nutrient solution because she can’t cook.

There are cooking robots on the market, but unfortunately the food they cook is too unpalatable.

After drinking the nutrient solution, he sat and read a book for a while. When it was 1 noon, A Luo got up and took a nap.

The alarm time is set in half an hour, which is her usual routine.

After the last batch of robots went on the market, they were sold out in a short period of time. The boss gave Arlo a half-month vacation, which was a long time. Most people might choose to go on a trip, but she didn’t want to go anywhere, she just wanted to study at home and do research.

After half an hour, Arlo woke up.

Not awakened by a familiar alarm clock, but by some robot.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a man squatting beside the bed, staring straight at her with clear eyes, a professional smile on his face, and calling in a rigid mechanical voice: “Master, get up~”

Arlo: “…”

If it wasn’t for the fact that she bought a robot, most people would be scared to death.

She sat up on the bed and the man immediately brought a glass of ice water diligently.

But as soon as he took the cup, Arlo felt that the cup was not ice water, but a glass of warm water.

“I want to drink ice water.” She frowned.

The robot bent over, with that stereotypical smile on its face, and said, “The book says that drinking ice water is not good for your health, and drinking warm water is more comfortable.”

The master bought him the appearance, and he spent a lot of money to buy him. Seventy-eight felt that he would work hard to repay the master!

During the time when the master was sleeping, Seventy-Eight read countless books on the Internet, and learned a lot of knowledge about how to be a good robot and how to properly serve human beings.

Arlo: “…Where did you learn it?”

Seventy-Eight: “In the book “How Humans Live Comfortably”, Seventy-Eight has learned how to become a useful robot, and I hope the owner is satisfied.”

It was obvious that he was speaking in a rigid mechanical voice, but she could hear the expectation of compliment from it.

A Luo looked at the cup in his hand for a long time, and finally drank this cup of warm water.

She was about to get out of bed, but just as she took off her feet, the robot immediately knelt down on one knee and put her feet in the slippers with both hands.

Before she could ask, the robot raised its head and said expectantly, “This is what I learned in “The Self-cultivation of a Robot Butler”, do you like it, Master?”

His face should have tended to be alienated and indifferent, his complexion was cold and white, and his amber eyes had a cold feeling.

But at this moment, the corners of his mouth were raised, his lips were grinned, and he showed a standard smile with four teeth, like an inferior workplace salesperson. In short, how to see how it violates.

A Luo: “…” She still couldn’t bear to dispel his enthusiasm.

Facing the bright eyes of the robot, Arlo choked, and then reluctantly said, “It’s okay.”

Seventy-eight still couldn’t understand the expressions of human beings, and only thought that he had been affirmed by the master. He stood up happily, took the cup in A Luo’s hand, and said cheerfully: “Master, Seventy-eight has also learned to make money, you Deposits at the central bank have been altered by me…”

Arlo: “What???”

Her eyes were dark and she almost fainted.

The next moment, the personal terminal rang a melodious bell, as if some kind of life-threatening spell.
