Chapter 750 - 748: Home_1

Chapter 750: Chapter 748: Home_1Lu Xiang came home early today.

As she entered, the lively scene in the living room left her stunned for quite a while, and had she not seen a few familiar faces, she might even have thought she had entered the wrong house.

Yeying was on all fours, its body arched, confronting an electronic dog, and it was also making a "hissing" sound. After facing off for a moment, they joyfully chased each other around the room, making a mess of the carpet and sofa.

She was not unfamiliar with the electronic dog; Tesla Technology also had the same model, priced at 5999 watts, marketed for its built-in artificial intelligence that could perfectly imitate the behavior of a pet dog. The electronic dog was widely praised when it was first launched, and many lonely corporate singles would buy one to keep at home.

Lu Xiang had heard that before the Third War, owning dogs was very common all over the world. However, in these times, only those with more money than they knew what to do with could afford to keep living pets.

The electronic dog perfectly solved the problem for ordinary people who wanted to own a pet. Unlike real dogs, they didn’t need to be fed and wouldn’t produce any unpleasant odors when left at home, assuring their masters they would wait patiently for them to return, even after a week and a half of overtime work at the company.

But this electronic dog didn’t look brand new—its paint had come off in several places, and there were traces of damage likely caused by sharp objects on its hind legs.

"Is this a new artificial intelligence friend you’ve made?"

She glanced over at Song Lan, who was dozing on the sofa. If she remembered correctly, he claimed he was going to confront his artificial intelligence about the matter when he had hung up the phone earlier.

Now it seemed that his warm and hospitable artificial intelligence friends had even given him a present.

"This is a new member of the household."

Song Lan opened his eyes to a slit, introducing the situation to Lu Xiang.

The electronic dog was very fond of sticking close to him, so he had naturally brought it back from the Artificial Lake Park. And considering the future, it was possible that "King" might communicate with him through this electronic dog.

After arriving home and pondering for a while, he guessed that the "Mother" the "King" had mentioned might not refer to any real person, but to artificial intelligence created by humans. In an age where technology was highly advanced and AI was ubiquitous, she could appear anywhere in the world at any time.

In terms of positioning, she was hostile to lifeforms created by the collective consciousness.

As for the real purpose of the mysterious device installed in the brains of commoners, it seemed he would only find out the next time the "King" visited him.

"A new member? What’s its name?"

Lu Xiang wasn’t opposed to having an electronic pet dog at home.

"Dog."

"Hmm?"

"It’s named Dog."

This time, Song Lan had opted for a minimalist approach. He felt the name directly and clearly identified the electronic dog’s status, and neither Lu Xiang nor any other member of the Bug Swarm could criticize his naming skills.

The electronic dog accepted its new name. Hearing its master call, it stopped playing with Yeying, turned its head towards Song Lan, and "woofed" twice.

"Dog, this is the true owner of the house. If you offend her, she’ll kick you out and make you sleep on the streets."

It was as if the electronic dog understood human language. After Song Lan’s hint, it immediately ran over to Lu Xiang in a bid to ingratiate itself.

Lu Xiang picked up the electronic dog, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

The reason she knew so much about electronic dogs was that back when she was in Qiming Academy, she had always wanted to buy one. She was actually very interested in keeping small animals, and the credits she earned at school were more than enough to cover the cost of an electronic dog and its routine maintenance. However, she ultimately did not do so.

Because, that was not in line with the image she had always presented to others.

"Don’t listen to him. I won’t kick you out."

She gently stroked the electronic dog’s head, feeling its icy and smooth surface, which truth be told wasn’t much different from other electronic products.

These electronic dogs had swept the United Government several years ago when the Tesla Technology re

The only regret was that Song Lan’s lifestyle habits made her feel like she had prematurely entered middle-aged life.

Just like now, in front of him on the coffee table stood a thermos, filled with goji berry water.

"What are we eating today?"

Lu Xiang hesitated momentarily before deciding to put work aside for the time being and enjoy this feeling of coming home.

"You decide."

"Dry pot potato slices, Spicy Chicken, and cabbage."

"Understood!"
