1041 Strangers

After staying in the empty viewing hall for a while, Lin Chi took the elevator back to the first floor, stood on both sides of the hall on the first floor, and used the welcome robot in the shape of a human woman, waved his hands to him enthusiastically, and said goodbye to the guest loudly in a voice that was indistinguishable from a human being:

"I wish you good health and goodbye!"

- These robots look quite human-like, but unfortunately the built-in "thinking" is not even as good as that of pet dogs. Compared with the welcome robot, the Frankenstein who traveled with Lin Chi is more like a real human.

Noticing that the camera on his shoulder was aimed at a welcoming robot on his right, Lin Chi also realized something and asked, "Do you want this kind of body?" ”

"I want to." Frankenstein's answer was succinct.

"It looks like it's expensive." Lin Chi smiled.

- This kind of welcome robot used in public places and large buildings is much more expensive than those vending robots in small shops. Still, for Frankenstein, who once stole a lot of money from the Fed, it's okay to buy this kind of thing.

"I can pay." Frankenstein whispered.

"Of course, because I'm not going to pay." Lin Chi said the speech of "Note Gusheng", and a slight smile appeared on his face.

After the end of the campaign against the TDK-131 virus, Frankenstein has been roaming the online world on weekdays, occasionally "possessing" his mobile phone or drone. The old-fashioned dancing robot provided by Lin Chi has not been used by Frankenstein for a long time.

If it wants to, give it a new body. But before that, Lin Chi still had something to say:

"You can use the body of the welcome robot, but you can't leave the house." He reminded.

Even in 2035, the perpetrators will still exist, and according to what Lin Chi knows, there are thieves who will specifically destroy robots, and then pull them away and sell them as scrap metal to recycling stations.

"Got it." Frankenstein replied immediately, and then he was silent, probably back in the online world, and began to inquire about the model and price of the welcome robot.

Walking back into the neighborhood through the street, Lin Chi noticed that the guests in front of the "Midnight Dessert House" had dispersed, and the fluorescent signboard had dimmed, and it looked like it was about to close.

At this time, several robots at the door had long since disappeared, and a chef with a single ponytail was standing outside the door, as if he was about to lock the door.

The girl locked the door of the dessert house, picked up a paper bag by the door, perhaps because she was tired from the day, and her steps were a little vain, she had just turned around, and her body suddenly tilted, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Then, using the powerful arms powered by the exoskeleton, he jerked out and supported her wobbly body from her side.

"Are you alright?" Lin Chi glanced at the girl.

"Ah, thank you......" The girl raised her head in surprise, and when she saw Lin Chi, a smile finally appeared on her solemn face: "Long time no see, thank you." ”

"You don't have to be so tired." Lin Chi looked at the girl's dull-skinned cheeks.

"I'm just happy that everyone finally recognized me." Speaking of this, the little chef of the Midnight Dessert House laughed again: "I'm so happy to see the food I make can be liked by so many people, really." ”

"Ha, I said you should transform this." After making sure that the girl was fine, Lin Chi took his right hand back.

Seeing the successful transformation of the restaurant that no one cared about, Lin Chi felt a sense of relief that "his daughter has grown up" for a while. However, that feeling didn't last long, and was interrupted by a weird female voice ringing on his phone:

"Good work."

Hearing this, the little chef was startled, looked around and asked, "Who?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's my friend." Lin Chi pointed to the camera on his shoulder: "She doesn't know how to speak, so take care of it." ”

"It's okay, I'm not very good at talking!" The little chef straightened his back proudly.

- What kind of glorious history is this?

Lin Chizheng secretly complained in his heart, and Frankenstein's voice sounded again in the speaker of his mobile phone: "I want to eat it too." ”

"Ah, of course. Tomorrow you can come to the store, I can give you a free dessert of your choice, and there is a discount for regular customers! The girl raised her head and looked at Lin Chi.

"She's still in the hospital and can't eat dessert." Lin Chi casually said a plausible-sounding reason: "Now she can't leave the ward, so she asked me to take her out to have a look." ”

"Oh, that's it, then it's better to take care of your illness, and you can come together when you're well!" The little chef waved his hand to Lin Chi as he spoke, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the community: "Goodbye." ”

Seeing the girl's figure disappear outside the gate, Frankenstein whispered, "She has a crush on you." ”

"I know." Lin Chi smiled.

"But you didn't debunk her, and you didn't respond." Frankenstein continued to speak.

"Which magazine are you a gossip reporter for?" Lin Chi said angrily.

He had indeed sensed the girl's intentions a long time ago, but he had never said anything.

Although she chose to eat and chat at a restaurant in the community because she was too lazy to go too far, the girl may have misunderstood something. Lin Chi knew that if he continued to develop according to the romance routine, he would probably become married to that girl eventually. In the real world, I really don't have any friends of the opposite sex except for the girl. But......

"Why didn't you respond to her? Whether it is accepted or rejected, a reply should be given. Frankenstein asked.

"The relationship between people is not as simple as you think." Lin Chi sighed: "Moreover, we are indeed not very suitable, to be exact, she and I are not all the way." ”

"Reproductive isolation?" Frankenstein uttered a word that almost made Lin Chi vomit blood.

"That's not what it means, we're all human, it's just that we don't agree on ideas, and she doesn't seem to realize it." Lin Chi explained.

Despite his general remarks, Frankenstein seems to sense something, and suddenly asks a pointed question:

"Are you resentful of humans?"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Chi looked up at the building across the street.

"I've found that your pursuits are different from those of other humans." Frankenstein said coldly: "You are more enthusiastic about the other 'world', and you over there and you here are not like the same person." ”

"Ha, there's a reason for that......"

Lin Chi, who was too lazy to continue this topic, walked to the main entrance of the apartment building: "Let's go home first, it's not too early." ”

"The body model is chosen." Frankenstein said.

"OK, I'll place an order for you, as long as you pay." Lin Chi nodded.
