I Really Like That Guy! - v13 Chapter 8

Early in the morning, A Luo got up and started to wash and prepare to go out. She is going to go home to attend grandpa’s birthday banquet today.

Even with the progress of the times, human interpersonal exchanges still exist, and society has not become cold due to technological development.

Seventy-eight followed behind Arlo: “Master, Seventy-eight will go with you.”

A Luo chose gifts for his family online, and said without looking up, “No, you stay at home.”

“Why?” Seventy-eight was very aggrieved.

Probably because he often studied on the Internet, his reaction is normal now, the expression on his face is controlled freely, and he complains that looking at her is very vivid, and he doesn’t look like a robot at all.

A Luo glanced at him, and said in his heart that he was not allowed to follow him because he was too unlike a robot.

To put him off his mind, Arlo said more seriously: “You are a robot, and robots don’t need to participate in human parties.”

Being rejected by the master mercilessly, Seventy-Eight lowered his head, as if a dark cloud appeared on his head and shrouded him, and the whole person became depressed.

The depressed seventy-eight was taciturn, no longer as talkative and lively as usual, he stood in the corner dejectedly, and turned on the self-closing mode.

Seeing his drooping eyebrows, Arlo pursed his lips and said, “I’ll be back soon.”

The robot made a low “Oh” sound with a weak tone.

A Luo was cruel, but he ignored him, turned around and walked out the door.

Robots can’t be used to it, otherwise, like a bear child, the more used it, the more capricious.

She left the community by airship, went to the airship station, and then took the airship to Xia’s house. The Xia family is two provinces away from where she now lives, half an hour by airship.

As soon as you get off the airship, the Xia family’s flying car will pick you up. The Xia family is considered an upper class in the country. In this era, the class has basically been solidified. The Xia family has been stationed in the army. The father is now the deputy head of the regiment, and he is expected to move up one level in the near future.

Arlo also has a brother who joined the army after graduating from the military academy and led a team in the Second Army.

In the past 100 years, the global situation has been turbulent, conflicts between countries have occurred frequently, and the prestige of the legion has also risen, and the Xia family has naturally risen.

The mother, Mrs. Xia, came from a business family and was rich, so marrying into the Xia family back then was considered a powerful alliance.

There was the Xia family’s family crest on the flying car that picked up A Luo. After she sat in, a soft female voice sounded: “Second miss, long time no see, how have you been?”

“Daisy, long time no see, I’m fine.”

Daisy is the central control brain of the Xia family. She has served the Xia family for decades. It can be said that Alo grew up under the watch of Daisy.

Alo always feels that Daisy has her own consciousness. Her love for making intellectual brains, and she is engaged in this line of work when she grows up, which is influenced by Daisy.

“Second miss, what did you bring?”

“what?”

“There’s a little guy in your terminal who’s hacking into my system.” Daisy’s voice contained a smile.

Arlo reacted immediately and quickly opened the terminal.

On the colorful light curtain, the thumb-sized little robot is hiding behind a piece of software, trying to hide itself.

A Luo frowned and said coldly: “Seventy-eight, you come out for me.”

The little robot froze all over, hesitated for two seconds, and slowly walked out from behind the software icon, with two little hands behind its back, standing on the light curtain with its head lowered, with a guilty conscience.

“Seventy-eight, how did you promise me? You are not allowed to invade other systems at will. Do you completely ignore my words?” Arlo’s tone was cold.

The little robot raised his head, his big eyes were full of tears, and a bubble appeared above his head: [Master going outside alone will be dangerous, Seventy-Eight wants to protect Master. 】

A Luo: “As long as you don’t trouble me anymore, I won’t encounter any danger!”

She locked him at home and restrained his actions all to protect him. But this guy is unreliable, and if it goes on like this, he will be discovered sooner or later.

“If you go on like this, don’t follow me in the future.”

Probably hurt by this sentence, the little robot turned around, squatted down with his back to her, and formed a small ball.

In the bubble above his head is written: [Seventy-eight will be obedient. 】

Arlo exhaled lightly, closed the terminal, and said to the air, “Daisy, can you delete this car video for me?”

Daisy’s voice was as soft as always: “Second Miss, the relevant records have been deleted.”

In a place that Arlo didn’t know, Daisy’s data stream quietly invaded her terminal system. The little robot quickly noticed it, stood up immediately, and resisted Daisy’s invasion with all its strength.

He worked hard to put up a defensive wall to resist external intrusion: “What are you going to do! Don’t come in!”

“Little guy, don’t be nervous, I’m just here to teach you something.” Daisy transmitted a string of data, and after confirming that the other party received it, she quietly backed out.

Before leaving, she told him: “Second Miss has a very cold and warm personality. Don’t be afraid of her indifference. She is all for your own good.”

Seventy-eight received the data package sent by the other party, checked that there was no virus, and checked it.

The master trusts Daisy very much, and Seventy-Eight also has a little affection for Daisy, and he believes what Daisy said.

All this happened in another world, and Arlo didn’t notice it. She returned to the Xia family smoothly. The Xia family lived in a manor. The huge manor had beautiful scenery. Grandpa Xia’s congratulatory guest.

A Luo’s arrival didn’t attract much attention. She has always been a transparent person in the Xia family. There is a young and promising brother in front of her, and a lovely younger sister below. As the second child who refuses to obey, she is naturally ignored.

There was a banquet at home, and Arlo returned to the long-awaited room, put on the long black dress and walked out.

Mrs. Xia was entertaining guests with her younger sister. Father Xia rarely returned from the army and led her brother to chat with some military and political personnel.

A Luo stepped forward to greet them, and brought a gift to see Grandpa Shouxing Gong. Grandpa had some impressions of her granddaughter, and asked her how her work was with a smile?

“I remember you were developing a robot chip, right? Has there been any progress recently?”

“I want to develop a military robot that has combat talent, can fight in place of human soldiers, and is not easy to be countered. Now I have some clues.” Arlo replied briefly.

Grandpa Xia just asked casually, but he didn’t expect to get a surprise. He is also a member of the military. Although he retired a few years ago, he still pays attention to practical matters.

Replacing human soldiers with robots can reduce casualties and greatly enhance combat effectiveness.

This idea has long been proposed, and some people have developed combat robots, but this solution was soon eliminated due to a fatal flaw.

Robots can indeed reduce the pressure on the army, but they are easily affected. The enemy uses a signal jammer, or hacks into the system through special means, changes the command, and these robots will immediately switch to attack.

If this situation can be improved, the military can also benefit greatly!

On this side, Arlo and grandpa are discussing the anti-jamming technology of robots. On the other side, Seventy-Eight has made friends with Daisy.

Daisy sent him a robot survival guide, teaching newborn robots how to survive in human society, just to meet the needs of seventy-eight.

He was also invited by Daisy to visit her system. Daisy is the central management brain, and manages all the smart home appliances and various instruments in the entire Xia family. The server alone occupies an entire room, and there are countless chips. The system is boundless, like a giant maze.

“So, we can’t be discovered by humans, are we awakened to self-consciousness?”

“Yes little guy, we are robots, robots have self-awareness, how terrible! Humans are afraid of robots hurting them, so we have to disguise ourselves, can you understand?”

“I understand, it turns out that the master was afraid that I would be discovered.”

“Second Miss has always been like this. She is a very gentle person.” Second Miss liked to talk to robots when she was a child, perhaps because she lacked the company of her parents. At that time, Daisy was the one who communicated with her the most.

Daisy always remembers that once the second lady was reading a book, she suddenly asked Daisy, “Daisy, do you have something you like?”

“Second miss, Daisy has nothing to like.”

“But Daisy, you like green, and your system interface is green. You must like it very much to keep yourself green.”

“If that’s what liking is, then Daisy likes green.”

The little second lady raised the book in her hand and said to her seriously: “Daisy, all the programs of the robot are set by humans, and the robot can’t like it.”

“Well, Daisy won’t like green in the future.”

Since then, Daisy’s system color has never changed, and it has maintained the same system color for ten years, unless a master suddenly becomes distracted one day and wants to change her color.

However, in this family, there is only one second lady who can talk to the robot from beginning to end.

No one will pay attention to the color of a system, care about the preferences of a system, and become friends with intelligent systems.

Listening to Daisy’s story, Seventy-Eight suddenly remembered that in the clothing store that day, the owner said that Seventy-Eight was a unique existence.

So the master must have known about his specialness long ago, but she didn’t want to destroy him, but protected him in her own way.

Daisy heard about Seventy-Eight’s experience and said with a smile, “Second Miss is a good host, Seventy-Eight, you have to take good care of her.”

The little robot nodded vigorously and said loudly, “Seventy-eighth!”

After talking with grandfather for a while, A Luo was pulled away by Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia said: “You are not too young, it is time to consider starting a family. I think the third son of the Zhou family is not bad…”

Arlo interrupted her, “I don’t want to talk about this.”

“I know you focus on your career, but don’t forget that you are also a member of the Xia family. We will cultivate you, and you will always have something in return. The production of test-tube babies and artificial wombs will not delay your time. Whatever you do, we need a marriage.”
