Chapter 174 "Smart Friend" Part [-]

That afternoon, after the confirmation phone rang.

A customer service guy told me some details.

I thought about it and said, "Just a complete set, you can decide on the set meal."

"We have two packages, you can choose regular and VIP. There is also a limited bright silver exploration version in VIP, which is the virtual friend version."

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

"Then let's cross off the deposit first, and then the designer will make an appointment to come to your door tomorrow. This amount will be refunded or supplemented. If you cancel the subscription, the deposit will not be refunded."

I hung up.

Within a few minutes, more than [-] yuan was debited from my account.

Inflation in [-] is not yet inflationary, but housing prices are rising.

My house at this time was only 300 square meters, but it was worth [-] million in the urban area.

In comparison, 90 is considered a large expense.

And this 90 is actually just a deposit, and it is non-refundable.

After thinking about it for a moment, I felt like I was sold, but luckily I still had enough money on hand.

At about ten o'clock the next morning, the doorbell rang.

Since there was no express delivery or takeout, I opened the door in a daze.

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

Standing at the front was a woman, smiling and saying: "Hello, we are the winning team of the [-] Red Dot Design Award. Can we go in? Can we help you see how to transform your home?"

Before the woman finished speaking, the man behind her shouted in surprise: "It's really Jock. He is the king of e-sports, Jock."

Everyone looked at me and whispered to each other.

"Sorry, you made a mistake." I said subconsciously.

"I know you haven't broadcast live for a long time, and everyone says you've given up." The man said.

"If you mention this again, please leave." I said, and now I began to regret it.

The man realized something was wrong and shut up, and the others also stopped discussing.

The woman in the front row said with a smile: "Sorry, we will punish him when we get back. We will keep all the secrets of our customers. Can we go in first?"

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

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

Seven people were observing in the room. The woman in the lead looked at it for a long time and said: "There are seventeen types of Xiaomi equipment. 63 is the price of the equipment. We charge a decoration fee of 30, which is the 93 deposit."

"Ok." I said.

"We would like to ask if you will install all of these seventeen devices?" The woman smiled and handed over a form.

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

I took the form and looked down column by column. In the last column were two words: AR.

"What is this AR?" I asked in confusion.

"VIP's customized version of virtual reality technology. When the time comes, you set a character. The character will appear in your home, of course it is virtual. One-to-one artificial intelligence will be your housekeeper friend in the future." The woman said.

I nodded my head and said, "I want everything in the form."

The woman nodded and took out a room card from her pocket and said: "This is the nearest hotel near your home. You can come and have a look at any time. You need to give our team a week to change your residence. Of course, you can now I’ll 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 her head.

I took a look at the location on the room card, and it was nearby.

"I don't have anything to take away. You can modify the things here as you like." After saying that, I left the key and left the room.

I stayed alone in the hotel for a week, during which I also doubted this team.

But after I checked online, I found that Xiaomi’s virtual butler service invites a team of designers for private customization.

And the price I paid was for the most luxurious limited edition.There aren't many that can be found online, but they are definitely not scammers.

A long week passed.

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

I didn’t even bring any clothes, so I didn’t change my coat. I bought underwear at the supermarket downstairs for a whole week.

If I don’t go, I’m afraid that they will continue to discuss me, the most successful loser.

The hotel room 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 house.

I looked at the key and said, "Have you finished the renovation?"

The man smiled and said: "Yes, I promise to make your eyes light up. I'm sorry Mr. Jock, I should respect the privacy of my customers. So this time I specifically asked me to give you the key, and I wanted to apologize to you by the way." "I took the key, waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's all trivial."

The man left happily, and I went down to hand over the room card and returned home.

As soon as the door was opened, a crisp startup sound sounded.

The chair floated over slowly, and I sat on it out of habit.

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

At this time, a translucent picture appeared in the sky, allowing me to choose my appearance, body shape, personality, and hobbies.

One by one, I selected my favorite one from the options I could find, and finally pressed OK.

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

I'm very satisfied with the sound and appearance.

It reminds me of something, because it is made according to the appearance of first love.

I reached out to touch it, but it was through the virtual image.And the area blocked by my hand no longer displays the screen.

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 the chair.

Looking at the projector above her head from a quiet distance, this thing is her true body.

The entire ceiling seemed to be a single steel plate, and the projector relied on magnetism to hover above and project 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 No.60 third-generation smart housekeeper, which controls everything in the entire room through Bluetooth."

"And you?" I said.

After a few seconds.

"Master hasn't given me a name yet." The virtual image opened its mouth and smiled in front of me.

I see the smart points, but there are still many shortcomings.

For example, regarding reaction time, I thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Xiao Ai."

After waiting for a few more seconds, Xiao Ai smiled and said, "Okay master, is there anything else that Xiao Ai needs to do next?"

"Can you cook for yourself?" I asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, Master, please order on the tablet over there. We will contact the nearby merchant market to purchase raw materials according to the cost of your order, and bake them." Xiao Ai pointed to the tablet on the table in the distance.

"Take out? Or cook it yourself? But aren't you virtual? How can you cook without hands and feet?" I asked in confusion.

"You can tell this just by looking at it. The tablet on the table has switched to recipe mode for you." Xiao Ai said.

"Why can't you continue to submit a virtual recipe for me to order?" I asked subconsciously.

Wait for a few seconds.

"I will report this situation to my superiors and optimize future updates." Xiao Ai said.

I looked at the tablet and ordered an omelette rice.

A text message was sent to my mobile phone, and 60 yuan was handed over from my account.

I waited curiously, not knowing what would happen.

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

An old man stood at the door of my house. He smiled at me with the order in his hand and then stuffed a bag of things into the black box on the wall.I took the order receipt and scanned it, and a green check appeared on the machine.

I asked doubtfully: "What did you put in it?"

The uncle looked at me and smiled and said, "That's what you bought, right? Eggs and rice. Just throw them in. I'm the one delivering the food."

After the uncle left, a little brother came over with a box of meat in his hand and also threw it in.Then he scanned the small ticket in his hand like the uncle just did, and did not forget to smile at me when he left.

I closed the door and went to the kitchen, where the ingredients that the uncle and brother had brought were transported on a conveyor belt.

Scanning, checking, flushing and stuffing into the machine, I looked at it at a loss.

After ten minutes, the machine was turned on.

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

Xiao Ai, who was originally projected aside, smiled and said: "Master, your omelette rice is ready."

I looked at Xiao Ai, and the projection above seemed to lock onto me again.After saying this to the air, Xiao Ai adjusted her angle again and stood one meter away, facing me.

I thought, I spent 90 to buy a housekeeper.

But in my eyes, there is still a big gap between this butler and my friends.

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