Extra 2: The Robot's Mission

The new father and mother were cooking in the kitchen, listening to the stern voice of the little guy correcting 001 at the dining table outside.

"No, not the master, but a good friend!"

"Hello, Master."

"I'm your good friend. My name is Chu Yun, not Master."

"Hello, Master."

This went on for a long time until little Chu Yun accepted that his powerful new friend was actually a fool.

"Mom, what are we eating today?"

Chu Yun jumped down, took 001's hand, and took him to visit the kitchen.

"001 Look, Mom and Dad are cooking for us. Wow, today we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Dad made it so delicious."

Xiao Chuyun praised the robot very considerately. Every minute and every second that the robot was turned on was spent on learning. It knew that the red and yellow dish was called scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and that its owner loved it.

It was led by its owner to the bedroom again. The small one was very clean and warm. The robot had no sense of smell, but it could tell that the smell in the bedroom was the scent of milk, which came from its owner.

"001, come here, we'll sleep together tonight. This is your quilt, that's your pillow, and this is daddy's pajamas, new and never worn. You can wear it."

001 rolled his eyes, scanning everything in the house one by one, storing it in the chip.

Chu Yun was a little distressed because his new friend didn't seem to be very talkative.

"Are you scared? I'm a good person and I will always treat you well."

001 looked at its master, a tiny creature not even as tall as his knees, and recognized this sentence, storing it in its chip.

"001 is not afraid."

Problems arose at night. 001 didn't need to eat, but Xiao Chuyun insisted on feeding it.

"My friend will go hungry!"

The couple held their foreheads in their hands. This child is good in every way except that he tends to get stubborn when it comes to things he has decided on.

"001 doesn't need to eat. He's a robot."

Chu Yun shook his head: "He is my friend."

001, with a funny cartoon band-aid on his face, sat at the dining table and said seriously:

"Chu Yun is the owner of 001."

Xiao Chuyun corrected him again.

"A friend."

"Yes, Master."

…

Seeing her son about to cry, the mother quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat. 001's food is like a battery. Once it's fully charged, he won't be hungry anymore, right, 001?"

"The battery is currently in good condition."

After dinner, Chu's mother went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. 001's body was stiff and its joints were rusty, so it couldn't do the technical work of washing dishes.

Chu's mother sighed. The only benefit was that she could accompany Chu Yun and talk. Her son seemed to like it very much, so she didn't say much.

"001, you need to take a shower before you can get into bed."

Big Iron Head 001 stood in the bedroom, analyzing the pros and cons of this sentence, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Water molecules can damage brain chips and cause machine malfunctions."

Xiao Chuyun didn't understand a word he said. His friend spoke incoherently, didn't eat, and didn't care about cleanliness. This was not good.

"Then I'll help you."

The next day, Xiao Chuyun knocked on the door early in the morning, crying.

"Mom and Dad, 001 is dead, hurry up and take him to the hospital."

After asking, I found out that Xiao Chuyun brought a basin of water to wipe 001 yesterday. Fortunately, the chip was not soaked in water, but the wires short-circuited and shut down.

So 001 was sent for repair again. Every robot on Tianlan Star has a warranty and can be sent at any time if there is a malfunction within one year.

Chu Mu sighed inwardly, thinking that this warranty would definitely pay for itself.

"Don't worry, 001 will be back tomorrow."

Xiao Chuyun was frightened. 001 fell asleep after he gave him a bath yesterday. He didn't think much about it and thought his friend might be too tired.

Unexpectedly, 001 couldn't wake up.

"Mom, did I do something wrong?"

"Yunyun's original intention was good, but 001 is a robot, unlike us. He can only accompany you. You must protect him well."

I have never heard of any child whose friend is a robot. Chu Yun admitted at this moment that 001 is really different from them, and Chu Yun felt a little proud.

"I see."

As expected, 001 was really sent back the next day. In order to express his apology, the person in charge of the robot exhibition took the initiative to contact Chu's parents and offered to replace them with a new model of robot.

Chu Yun refused, so they carried out a major repair and upgrade for 001.

The transformed 001 no longer had the scary cracks on its body, but it was still as cold as ice.

"001, do you still recognize me?"

"Hello, my master."

Still that idiot 001.

The biggest surprise came to the new father and mother. After the upgrade, 001 could do some simple tasks, such as washing dishes, and his movements were as agile as those of a normal person.

This made everyone feel relieved. Chu's parents thought that the money was not wasted, and little Chu Yun was even happier that his friend would not fall again.

001 lived in Chu's house like this. Chu Yun's small bed could not accommodate 001, so little Chu Yun asked to change to a bigger bed. The couple, who were crazy about doting on their baby, naturally agreed.

"001, you're so cold."

001 detects that the little master is cold, the constant temperature system is triggered, and its body begins to warm up.

"Wow, 001 turned out to be so warm."

001 doesn't need sleep. His eyes see the night as bright as the day. When the little master fell asleep, his soft arm was rubbed red by his hard iron arm.

Even so, the little master is still craving for the warmth on his body.

001 took the initiative and placed the pillow under his body, allowing his master to sleep peacefully on the soft pillow.

Xiao Chuyun's May Day holiday is over, and he is going to school. Before leaving, he told 001 to wait for him at home. 001 nodded, but in fact, it was only Xiao Chuyun who was reluctant to leave. He said goodbye to 001 with tears in his eyes.

"Be sure to wait for me, I will be back soon."

Chuyun has always been obedient at school, never crying or making a fuss. This is the first time she has acted like this, and it makes the couple feel bad to see it.

"School will be over in two hours. Yunyun can play with the other kids for a while and then go home."

Chu Yun got in the car, and his father took him to school on his way to work, but unexpectedly, 001 got in the car right after him.

"001, stop making trouble and stay home."

001 turned a deaf ear: "The master needs me."

Chu Yun was so moved by these words that he hugged 001 and burst into tears:

"Mom, I don't want to be separated from 001..."

It's a headache for a first-time mother. What's going on? I just calmed down the little one, and now the older one is making a fuss again.

The children of the Rainbow Light Kindergarten were doing exercises. There was a row of parents at the door who were reluctant to leave and were looking through the railings. Among them was a tall figure.

"This is a robot. It's amazing."

"Whose? How much does it cost..."

"It can also take care of children. Do you want to buy this for our daughter too?"

"It's ridiculously expensive, so I'd better save the money."

Xiao Chuyun, who was doing exercises inside, turned his head frequently. He knew that 001 was watching him from behind, so he secretly waved to 001.

001's eyes flashed, as if trying to figure out what this action meant. After searching its powerful database, it raised its large mechanical hand and waved it stiffly.

Xiao Chuyun laughed secretly, 001 is so stupid.
