Lu Xiang went home early today.

When she entered the door, the lively scene in the living room made her stunned for a long time, and if she hadn't seen those familiar faces, she would have even thought that she had entered the wrong door.

I saw the night heron on all fours, hunched over, confronting an electronic dog, and making a "hissing" sound in its mouth, the two sides confronted each other for a moment, and then happily chased and played in the room, making a mess of the carpet and the sofa.

She is no stranger to this electronic dog, Tesla technology has the same model, the price is 5999 watts, the selling point is that its built-in artificial intelligence can perfectly simulate the behavior of a pet dog, this electronic dog was widely praised when it was first launched, and many lonely single company people will buy one and put it at home.

Lu Xiang heard that before the Third World War, dog ownership was very common all over the world, but in this year, only those who have too much money to spend will have spare money to keep live pets.

The electronic dog perfectly solves the problem of ordinary people who want to have a pet, compared to a real dog, they do not need to be fed, and they will not produce an unpleasant smell when placed at home, even if the owner is in the company and a week of work, they will be at home and wait for them to come back.

It's just that the dog doesn't look like it's brand new, it has paint off in several places, and the hind legs still have signs of being damaged by sharp objects.

"Is this your new AI friend?"

She glanced at Song Lan, who was napping on the sofa, and if she remembered correctly, when she hung up the phone earlier, Song Lan claimed that he was going to find his own artificial intelligence to ask things clearly.

Now it seems that those hospitable AI friends also gave him a gift.

"It's a new member of the family."

Song Lan's eyes opened a slit and introduced Lu Xiang.

The dog likes to stick to him, so he brought it back from the artificial lake park, and in the long run, maybe the "king" will communicate with him through the dog in the future.

After arriving home, after some thought, he guessed that the "mother" mentioned by the "king" may not be a real person, but an artificial intelligence created by humans, who can appear in any corner of the world at any time in this era of highly developed technology and ubiquitous artificial intelligence.

From a standpoint, she is hostile to the life created by the aggregate of consciousness.

As for the true purpose of the unknown device she installed in the brains of civilians, I am afraid we will only know when the 'King' visits him next time.

"New members? What's its name? ”

Lu Xiang is not averse to raising an electronic pet dog at home.

"Dogs."

"Huh?"

"It's called a dog."

Song Lan adopted a minimalist style this time, he felt that this name could not only directly and clearly indicate the identity of the electronic dog, but also not be attacked by Lu Xiang or other people in the swarm of his name.

The electronic dog also accepted its new name, and when it heard its owner calling for itself, it stopped playing with the night heron, turned its face sideways and barked at Song Lan twice.

"Dog, this is the real owner of this house, and if she offends her, she will sweep the floor out and let you sleep on the street."

The electronic dog seemed to be able to understand human language, and after Song Lan mentioned this, it immediately ran to Lu Xiang flatteringly.

Lu Xiang picked up the electronic dog, and a flush appeared on his cheeks.

The reason why she knows a lot about electronic dogs is because she has always wanted to buy one when she was at Qiming College, she has always been interested in raising small animals, and the credits she earned in school are enough for her to pay for electronic dogs and routine maintenance, but she didn't do it in the end.

Because, that doesn't match the image she has always given people.

"Don't listen to him, I'm not going to kick you out."

She gently touched the head of the electronic dog, which felt cold and smooth, and it felt no different from ordinary electronic products.

It was several years ago that this batch of electronic dogs swept the coalition government, when Tesla Technology's R&D team was still a little conservative, and after the concept of electronic pets was widely accepted, the second and even third generations of products began to continue to let themselves go, and they achieved the ultimate in appearance and performance.

At present, high-end electronic pets have private customized services, usually with two options: animal and humanoid.

Today's animatronic pets look and feel just like real animals, and as for humanoid animatronic pets, they can often function beyond pets.

It appears that the dog has been abandoned by its previous owner.

"You can live here in peace from now on."

Lu Xiang bent down to put the electronic dog back on the ground, and under the call of the night heron, it quickly followed again, and temporarily formed a demolition team with the night heron.

The arrival of the electronic dog greatly satisfies the needs of the night heron to play and play, she is still at the age of playing, but the big city is not good, people here live in high-rise buildings, more than ninety percent of the people are otaku, after work to lie home, life and entertainment often do not leave the house half a step.

Among them, Lu Xiang is the representative of workaholics, not to mention playing with her, every day when he sees each other, Lu Xiang has endless work; Although Song Lan is very idle most of the time, his range of activities at home often does not go too far beyond the sofa, and since Yelu moved in, she has contracted errands such as going downstairs to buy things and getting couriers.

And now, the night heron has finally waited for a "good comrade-in-arms" who can usually accompany her to play outside.

"It's nice outside, you go outside to play, and call you when it's time to eat later."

In order to prevent further damage to the living room of the apartment, Lu Xiang spoke.

"You don't have to call us, I can smell it!"

Night Heron said proudly.

In this radius, only Song Lan can cook, and she can smell the fragrance even downstairs.

When it comes to eating, there is no need for someone to call her.

Instructed by their superiors, the night heron and the dog ran out one after the other.

Lu Xiang changed out of the uniform of the law enforcement department, and reluctantly and comfortably cleaned up the living room that had been messed up by the night heron and the electronic dog, and she had already begun to consider whether to buy a set of dedicated artificial intelligence housekeepers.

Either way, this apartment is becoming more and more of a home away from home.

The daughter-like night heron, the family's pet dog, and her husband who leaned on the sofa after work early, think back to a few months ago, when she came home every day, the living room was always surprisingly quiet, without the slightest breath of life.

The fly in the ointment is that Song Lan's living habits make her always feel that she has entered a middle-aged life in advance.

Just like now, there is a thermos cup on the coffee table in front of him, soaked in wolfberry water.

"What are you going to eat today?"

After a little hesitation, Lu Xiang decided to leave his work behind for the time being and enjoy the feeling of going home for the time being.

"You decide."

"Potato chips, spicy chicken, and cabbage."

"Order!"
