Chapter 6 The Dream of Love
*
Roger's heart was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, Luo Li had already nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I am indeed a robot!" β
At this moment, Roger really had thousands of grass and mud horses running through in his heart.
Miss Liu looked at Roger, then at Lori, and suddenly took a few steps back, clutching her stomach and laughing.
"Oh my God, you...... You're ...... with a robot."
Her unbridled laughter succeeded in attracting the attention of everyone around her. The guests next to him were all looking at Roger, whispering and muttering, and Roger only felt that the eyes of those people were like flames, burning his whole body to smoke.
ββ¦β¦ Just graduated...... School Flower ...... Ah, Dr. Luo, you're so funny! Miss Liu almost burst into laughter.
Roger jumped to his feet, quickly scanned the bill with his PED, then picked up Lori and ran out.
"Hahaha......" Miss Liu's laughter still echoed behind her, and it took a while to completely disappear.
Roger dragged Lori across several blocks before he stopped under a large tree on the side of the road.
"Xiaoli, you ......"
He really wanted to point at Luo Li's nose and reprimand her fiercely, but when he saw her dazed look, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, so he had to sigh heavily.
"Brother Roger, it's me who is not good, don't be angry." Lori said timidly.
Roger couldn't help but say, "Didn't I tell you not to let others know that you are a robot?" β
Luo Li lowered her head and said, "But...... Robots can't lie to humans......"
"Damn!" Roger punched the trunk of the tree next to him, causing him to grin in pain, "Do you know that guy was a bad guy just now, and she deliberately spilled juice on you!" β
Luo Li nodded and said, "Well, I know." β
Roger said, "Then do you know what you should have done at that time?" You should grab the cup and pour the rest of the juice on her face! β
Luo Li shook her head in horror and said, "No, Brother Roger, robots are absolutely not allowed to attack humans!" β
"What are you afraid of, it's just a glass of juice, and she won't be hurt, it's not an attack!" Roger said.
Luo Li said: "No, even if it is a hostile act!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Roger was speechless, he suddenly remembered something, took out his PED and dialed Zhang Gu's phone.
"Mr. Luo, hello." Zhang Gu said with a smile.
Roger was on the fire and snorted angrily.
Zhang Gu said: "Mr. Luo, your robot has been in delivery for more than a month, how do you feel?" Okay? β
"Not good!" Roger said coldly.
Zhang Gu was taken aback: "Oh? What's going on? Did something go wrong? β
Roger walked away a few steps and said, "I said Manager Zhang, what's going on with your robot?" Someone deliberately tricked her, but she let others bully her like a fool, how could this be? β
When Zhang Gu heard him say this, he smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Luo, this is not strange. Robots, of course, can't fight back, can't scold back! β
Roger said: "But you are making a simulated robot!" Since it is a simulation, she should have the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of human beings! But she can't even get angry, what is this called 'simulation'? β
Zhang Gu said: "Mr. Luo, you don't know this, in fact, when the current software engineers edit the robot's control software, they will deliberately simplify the angry emotion module, because this is completely unnecessary." - Think about it, if a robot loses its temper at every turn, is it okay? β
Roger said, "Who said it wasn't necessary? I think it's necessary! What's the point of a robot that doesn't have a temper at all, but only giggles? β
"Forehead......" Zhang Gu seemed to be a little speechless.
Roger said, "Manager Zhang, can you help me make up for her anger module?" β
"This ......" Zhang Gu looked a little embarrassed.
Roger said, "Didn't you say that your goal is to give your customers the most enjoyable experience?" Can't even such a small request be satisfied? I don't need her to have a big temper, at least not to be angry when she is being bullied! β
Zhang Gu hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you think of a way!" β

After talking to Zhang Gu, Roger took Luo Li home.
It wasn't long before a strange call came in. Roger answered the phone, and across from him was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, as thin and thin as Zhang Gu.
"Mr. Roger? I am Li Jie from the maintenance department of Turing Company, and it was Manager Zhang who asked me to contact you! β
"Hmm, hello." Roger nodded.
Li Jie said: "Mr. Luo, Manager Zhang said that you want to add an angry emotion module to your simulation robot, right?" β
Roger nodded and said, "Yes." β
Li Jie smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, you are really interesting, to tell you the truth, it is the first time I have met a customer who took the initiative to ask for the addition of the robot anger module!" β
"What do you mean?" Roger was still indignant about what happened tonight, so he felt very harsh when he heard this, and said coldly, "You mean my brain is not normal?" β
"Oh, no, no, you misunderstood, I mean...... You have a lot of personality! Li Jie smiled wryly.
Roger snorted lightly and asked, "Do you guys have an anger module?" β
"Yes, Mr. Luo." "But what I want to say is that our anger module has been weakened, which means that after installing it, the robot's anger threshold is about twice that of a normal person. β
Roger frowned and said, "Why weaken?" Isn't it okay to use the normal threshold? β
Li Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, this threshold is already very high!" Trust me, no matter how high you are, you won't be able to stand it! β
Roger thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then you can send it first." β
"You know all about the installer, right?" Li Jie asked.
Roger nodded, "Clear." β
"Okay, I've got it for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. β
Roger hung up the phone and downloaded the package from the PED from Li Jie.
He opened the drawer and pulled out an importer from inside. This toy was brought by Luo Li herself in her backpack that day, and it was also Luo Li's only accessory. Because Lori's body is fully enclosed, if you want to upgrade the software, you must import it through this importer in the form of a short-range wireless network.
"Xiaoli, sit still and don't move, I'm going to help you update the software." Roger said.
"Okay, Brother Roger." Lori sat down at the table and closed her eyes.
Roger turned on the power of the importer, first transferred the plug-in package sent by Li Jie from the PED to the importer, and then began to connect with the data interface in Luo Li's body.
Enter your product key to start importing your new plugin. The importer's progress bar crawled slowly, and it took five or six minutes for the mood module to load.
Roger looked at Luo Li, who opened his eyes again, and asked, "Xiaoli, how do you feel?" β
This is the first time that a new program has been introduced to her, and Roger is a little worried about whether there will be any unexpected problems. Fortunately, Luo Li nodded at him and said, "Brother Roger, I feel okay." β
"Don't you feel like you've changed from before?" Roger asked, looking at her.
Luo Li shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem to be." β
Roger thought for a moment, and suddenly reached out and pinched her snow-white arm.
Luo Li looked at him a little strangely and said, "Brother Roger, why are you pinching me?" β
Roger frowned, reached out and pinched it again.
"Oops, it hurts!" Lori withdrew her hand.
Roger's heart was in ecstasy, because he clearly saw a trace of annoyance on Luo Li's face just now.
That's enough, so much better.
Roger hurriedly took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoli, I just wanted to do a test to see if the plug-in I installed for you just now has any effect." - Hurt you, didn't you? I'm sorry! You're not mad at me, are you? β
Luo Li said: "Brother Roger, you pinched me a little bit, but I won't be angry with you." β
Roger smiled and hugged her into his arms and said, "That's good, that's good, my Xiaoli is so good!" Awesome! β

Over the next few weeks, Lori was running steadily.
The high threshold anger emotion module didn't affect her much, she was still gentle and well-behaved, like a cute little angel.
Roger's life is still full of fun and sunshine, and he is by Lori's side almost every day except for work hours.
Or rather, it's enjoying the fun of Lori being by his side.
He often took her out to play, just like other men and women in love. They go shopping hand in hand, drink coffee together, watch movies together, and go to the playground together. At these times, Lori behaves like a normal girl, even applauding for a great performance in the circus and screaming on the shuttle car in the playground.
But will robots really be happy? Or are their joys, sorrows, and sorrows all illusions, but actually just a surge of electricity in an integrated circuit?
Roger once couldn't help but call Li Jie and asked him this question. Li Jie's answer to him seemed to be very philosophical: "Mr. Luo, in a sense, maybe everything is an illusion!" Just like yourself, how do you know if your joys and sorrows are essentially just a stream of brainwaves in your brain? β
Roger was dumbfounded by him, and did not continue to dwell on the issue. Maybe Li Jie is right, but in fact, all joys, sorrows, and sorrows are illusions.
Roger let go of the tangled and fell into a deeper and deeper feeling of love from then on. Every time he walks in the crowd holding Lorry's hand and sees the amazing and envious glances of the people around him, Roger feels that he is the happiest person in the world.
On a weekend night, Roger took Lori to a bar once.
The bar is called "Sweet Memories" and is located in an alley not too far from Roger's house. Roger had passed under its sign many times, but this was the first time he had walked through its doors. The environment is not bad, and the soft lighting combined with the quaint dΓ©cor does give a very warm and nostalgic feel.
They sat down at a booth against the wall, Roger opened the drink list on the counter, browsed it, chose a cheap dark beer, and then said to Lorry, "Xiaoli, what do you want to drink?" Order it yourself. β
Luo Li flipped through the wine list and said with a smile: "Brother Roger, the wine here is so expensive, do you really want to invite me to drink?" β
Roger said: "Of course, you can order whatever flavor you like, it doesn't matter, I can afford a glass of wine." β
Lori pursed her lips and smiled, ordering the cheapest soda. But after a while, a waiter came up to them and said, "Excuse me, you two, do you need anything to drink?" β
Roger shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?" β
The waiter smiled and said, "You haven't reached the minimum consumption level of our store, so ......"
Roger had no choice but to look at Luo Li helplessly and said, "Xiaoli, why don't you change something else?" β
Luo Li thought for a moment and said, "Then please bring me a glass of margarita." β
"Okay, please wait." The waiter said yes and left.
"I heard that this cocktail is more suitable for girls, so I wanted to try it." Lori smiled at Roger.
Roger looked at her with some surprise and said, "Who did you listen to?" β
Luo Li pointed to her forehead and said with a smile: "I just checked the wine knowledge base on the Internet. β
"Oh." Roger then remembered that she had a brain that could connect to the World Wide Web anytime, anywhere.
I almost forgot she was a robot again.
The waiter quickly brought the mixed drink, and Lori picked up her margarita, took a sip, and then made an intoxicated expression.
"Is it good?" Roger asked, holding his stout.
"Well, it's not bad." Luo Li said.
Roger laughed, believing that she really liked the taste.
At this time, the lights in the middle of the bar suddenly turned on, and a pot-bellied man stood under the light, smiling at the customers around him: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 'Sweet Memory', I am the manager of our store." In order to make everyone have a more romantic evening, we are fortunate to have the famous beautiful musician Miss Linda to play a live song for everyone,ββ Miss Linda! β
