02 took out his phone, opened an app, and handed it to Xia Chuhe: "Try playing with this. This is something 123 made before."

The app is a stick figure parkour game, with two dimples drawn on the stick figure's round face.

Xia Chuhe played two games casually, and his operation was smooth and fluid.

02. Open a map app on the watch: "This was also made by 123 before. It can connect to the official map and you can download the latest map for free every time."

The official map app requires a certain number of points to unlock each update, so 123 essentially created a cracked version that can be updated in real time.

02 lowered her eyes, wishing she could rip her heart out for Xia Chuhe to see: "And this, this is from an unknown person..."

"That's enough." 123 interrupted 02.

123 groped around on his head for a while, then lifted it up forcefully, revealing a bald head and a mottled face.

Although her skin was connected, it gave her a broken appearance, as if it would crumble if wiped.

123 Pinch the wire connecting the mechanical carrier and close your eyes.

Before long, Xia Chuhe saw that the cracks on her face had deepened, almost revealing the muscle texture.

02. A pained expression appeared on his face.

123 opened his eyes indifferently, the blue light in his eyes flashing and disappearing.

The little figure on the desktop ran a few steps and stopped beside Xia Chuhe: "Hello, Miss Xia, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Xia Chuhe felt that the atmosphere in the store was a bit serious at the moment, and the voice of the little robot sounded too much like AI, so she blurted out: "Xiao Ai, tell me a joke."

The little man said, "The triangle went to the barbecue stall and ordered five skewers of large kidneys, but waited for a long time and they never came, so it became an isosceles triangle."

Xia Chuhe smiled and handed the medicine to 123: "Try it, you won't regret it. Remember to use it for injection."

123 hesitantly accepted the medicine.

Xia Chuhe said, "By the way, puns are really funny, I have one too. Do you know why gorillas walk so quietly?"

02&123: "..."

Xia Chuhe said to himself, "Because gorillas tap their breasts when they walk."

123 didn't laugh, but went behind the counter and started looking for syringes.

She needs to inject herself with medication every week to maintain genetic stability; she's gotten used to injecting herself with drugs.

Despite 02's repeated assurances that Xia Chuhe was not a liar, 123 still didn't trust her. The reason she just recorded data into the chip was to stop 02 from begging Xia Chuhe.

02 and Xia Chuhe stared intently at 123, one with concern in his eyes and the other with scrutiny.

123 touched his bald head, no hair was growing back, and his body showed no obvious changes; he was still tired and weak.

123 turned to face 02 and Xia Chuhe: "I told you, it's no use."

“Your face…” 02’s lips trembled, unable to speak.

She scrambled through the shop and found a small mirror, placing it in front of 123.

In the mirror, 123's face became fuller at a visible speed, and his skin gradually smoothed out.

123 stared blankly down, feeling the power surging within her body, like withered trees blossoming in spring, or parched land receiving timely rain. Suddenly, she took two steps to Xia Chuhe, knelt down, and pressed her forehead to the ground.

Xia Chuhe quickly jumped away: "No, no, no, that'll shorten your lifespan. Let's just do normal transactions. I won't hold back when I'm inspecting the app."

02 was also wiping away tears behind the counter, laughing and crying at the same time.

Unable to bear the atmosphere, Xia Chuhe blurted out, "Xiao Ai, play a song for us."

The sun shines brightly, and the flowers smile at me.

"Shut up!"

Xia Chuhe felt utterly powerless. None of the nameless people were normal; even robots would mutate when they entered their territory.

123 got up and laughed: "I only imported a joke and a song into its database as a test. If you like these, I'll import all the data collected from the store."

Xia Chuhe shuddered and decided against it, thinking he was not worthy of such a treat.

123 now looks like a normal person. At first glance, she's just an ordinary girl with no hair. She has regular features, lively eyes, and a spirited demeanor.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still see many fine white marks on her face, which appear to be scars left after wounds have healed.

It may take a long time; the scar may fade by the time the hair grows back.

123 asked, "Is 'Xiao Ai' its name?"

It's weird.

“No, I… I knew an AI before,” Xia Chuhe denied.

"Oh, then give it a name. Although it only has the most basic learning ability right now, it can still remember its own name. Once I upgrade it, it will be able to learn many things."

Xia Chuhe waved his hand: "I'm not good at naming things, you can come up with one for it. I'll leave it with you for now, you can do whatever you want with it."

Xia Chuhe didn't think much of this little mechanical man.

Even if the little robot had a "brain" like Xiao Ai, Xia Chuhe didn't know what he could do with it. It was too small; it would probably take it two or three days to mop the floor in the yard.

Xia Chuhe was more concerned with application development: "Let's talk about serious matters!"

As previously agreed upon with 02, the two signed an agreement in which Xia Chuhe specified in detail the functions that the application needed to include.

This app is similar to the official forum, allowing users to freely post, exchange messages, trade, and offer bounties. It also features private chat and anonymity functions.

Unlike other apps, this one is invitation-only; only those who receive a real-time invitation code can download and register it, and Xia Chuhe is the administrator with the highest privileges.
