In the afternoon of the same day, after confirming that the phone rang.

A customer service told me some details.

I thought about it and said, "It's good to have a full set, you can look at the package." ”

"We have two packages, and there's also a limited edition Bright Silver Discovery Edition, which is the Virtual Friend Edition. ”

"Yes, it's the friend version. I said.

"Then we'll cut out the deposit first, and then tomorrow the designer will make an appointment to come to the door. The money will be refunded and the deposit will not be refunded. ”

I hung up.

Within a few minutes, more than 900,000 yuan was swept off my account.

The inflation in 2049 is not yet inflationary, but house prices are rising.

My house was only 60 square meters at this time, but it was worth 3 million in the city.

In comparison, 900,000 is also a lot of money.

And the 900,000 is actually just a deposit, and it will not be refunded.

After thinking about it for a moment, I had the feeling that I had been sold, but fortunately, I was still rich in savings.

At about 10 o'clock the next morning, the doorbell at the door was ringed.

Without couriers and takeaways, I opened the door in a daze.

I was startled when I opened the door, and a team of seven appeared in front of me.

Standing at the front was a woman who smiled and said, "Hello, we are the winning team of the Red Dot Design Award 2047. Can we go in? Help you see how we can remodel your home?"

Before the woman could finish speaking, the man behind her shouted in surprise: "It's really Jock, he's Jock, the king of e-sports." ”

The crowd looked at me and whispered to each other.

"I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. I said subconsciously.

"I know you haven't been live for a long time, and everyone says you've washed your hands. The man said.

"If that's the case, please leave. I said, and now I'm starting to regret it.

The man closed his mouth when he noticed something was wrong, and the others stopped discussing.

The woman in the front row smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we'll punish him when we go back." We'll keep all the secrets from our customers, can you let us go in?"

I was silent for a moment, and the man lowered his head.

"Okay. I opened the door and invited them in.

Seven people observed in the room, and the woman in the lead looked at it for a long time and said: "There are a total of seventeen Xiaomi devices, and six hundred and thirty thousand is the price of the equipment. We charge a decoration fee of 300,000 yuan, which is 930,000 yuan of the deposit. ”

"Okay. I said.

"We want to ask if you want to install all of these seventeen devices?" the woman smiled and handed over a form.

I took a look, and this set of equipment can buy and cook on its own. Automatically boil the water heated bed, clean and wash.

I took the table and looked down at the column, and the last column had two words written on it: AR.

"What is this AR?" I said, puzzled.

"VIP is a customized version of virtual reality technology, when you set a character. Characters will appear in your home, virtually, of course. One-to-one artificial intelligence is your butler friend in the future. The woman said.

I nodded my head and said, "I want all of the form." ”

The woman nodded, took out a room card from her pocket and said, "I'm the closest hotel near your house, you can come and see it at any time." You'll need to give our team a week to change your accommodation, and of course now can give you an hour to prepare what you want to take away. ”

I took the key card and asked again, "Does it take a week to install?"

The woman nodded.

I glanced at the location on the room card, and it was nearby.

"I don't have anything to take with me, and you can transform the things here. With that, I left the key and left the room.

I spent a week alone in the hotel, during which I doubted the team.

But after I checked it on the Internet, I found that Xiaomi's virtual butler service will invite a team of designers to customize it privately.

And the price I paid was the most luxurious limited edition. Not much can be found online, but it's certainly not a scammer.

A week has passed.

And this week, I didn't go back to take a look.

I didn't even bring any clothes, but I bought my underwear at the supermarket downstairs for a whole week.

I wasn't going because I was afraid that they would continue to talk about me, about me, the most successful loser.

The hotel's key card also expired, and the knock on the door came as promised.

The man from the seven-person design team who recognized me showed up at the door and handed me the key to my door.

I looked at the key and said, "You're done?"

The man smiled and said, "Yes, it's guaranteed to make your eyes shine." Also sorry Mr. Jock, I should respect the privacy of my clients. So this time I specifically asked me to come and give you the key, and by the way, I want to apologize to you. ”

I took the key, waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's all trivial." ”

The man left happily, and I went down and handed in my room card and went home.

As soon as I opened the door, a crisp boot sound sounded.

The chair actually floated over slowly, and I habitually sat on it.

The artificial female voice said, "Hello master, please set the form and appearance for me." ”

At this time, a translucent picture appeared in the air, which made me choose such a body shape and personality hobby.

I chose the one I liked the most from the options I could find and pressed OK at the end.

After half a minute of waiting, a virtual character was projected in front of me, and he said with a smile: "Hello master." ”

I was very satisfied with the sound and the appearance.

Reminds me of something, because it's pinched according to the look of first love.

I reached out to touch it, but through the virtual image. And the place that is blocked by my hand is not on the display.

After a few seconds of response time, the image moved a few steps to the left and said, "Master, you almost hit me." ”

I looked around and stepped on my chair.

Looking at the projector above her head from a quiet distance, it was her body.

The entire ceiling appeared to be a single sheet of steel, and the projector was magnetically hovering and projecting her.

I pointed to the projector above and said, "What is this device called?" ”

After a few seconds of delay, the virtual image said: "This is Xiaomi's 63rd generation smart butler, controlling everything in the entire room through Bluetooth. ”

"And you?" I said.

A few seconds later.

"The master hasn't named me yet. The virtual image opened its mouth and smiled in front of me.

I see where the intelligence is, but there are still a lot of shortcomings.

For example, when it comes to reaction time, I thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Satsuki." ”

After another few seconds of waiting, Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Okay master, is there anything that needs to be done next for Xiao Yue?"

"Can you cook for yourself?" I asked, thinking.

"Yes master, please order on the tablet over there. According to the cost of your order, we will contact the nearby merchant market to purchase the raw materials and cook them. Satsuki said, pointing to the tablet on the table in the distance.

"Takeout? or do you make it yourself? But aren't you virtual? How can you cook without hands and feet?" I asked, puzzled.

"You can see this by looking at it, the tablet on the table has switched to recipe mode for you. Satsuki said.

"Why can't you just keep submitting a virtual recipe for me to order?" I asked subconsciously.

A few seconds of waiting.

"I will report this situation to my superiors and make improvements for future updates. Satsuki said.

I looked at the tablet and ordered an omelet rice.

A text message came from my phone, and sixty yuan was handed over from my account.

I waited curiously, not knowing what to expect.

At this time, I heard a sound outside the door, and I opened the door.

An uncle stood in front of my house, smiled at me with the order in his hand, and stuffed a bag of stuff into a black box on the wall. I took the order receipt and scanned it, and a green tick appeared on the machine.

I wondered, "What are you stuffing into it?"

The uncle looked at me and smiled and said, "What did you buy?" Designated to throw it in, I am the delivery person. ”

After the uncle finished speaking, he left, and a little brother came over and threw a box of meat in his hand. Then he swept the small ticket in his hand like the uncle just now, and didn't forget to smile at me when he left.

I closed the door and went to the kitchen, where the ingredients of my uncle and brother had been transported by a conveyor belt.

The scan, inspected, rinsed, and stuffed into the machine, and I looked at a loss.

Ten minutes later, the machine was turned on.

A decent omelet rice appeared in front of me, and the robot vacuum cleaner slowly came over and stretched out its mechanical hand to grab the plate. It was sent out of the kitchen and placed on the dining table in the hall.

Xiao Ai, who was originally projected on the side, said with a smile: "Master, your omelet rice is ready." ”

I looked at Xiao Ai, and the projection above seemed to re-lock me. Xiao Ai, who said this to the air on the side, adjusted her angle again and stood a meter away facing me.

I thought, I did buy a housekeeper for 900,000 yuan.

But in my eyes, this housekeeper still has a big gap with his friends.

"Will you be my future friend?" I said with a wry smile.
