"If you don't have any instructions for now, I'll go and clean up."

After the robot finished speaking, it rotated its body 180 degrees, activated the chassis roller brush, and started the cleaning mode.

"Daddy... um... is it... is it a person?"

Chaochao felt that "that" was disrespectful halfway through her sentence, so she quietly swallowed it back. She absentmindedly tugged at Huo Qin's sleeve.

"It's not a person, it's a home robot. You can think of it as a robot vacuum cleaner."

Huo Qin explained slowly, his gaze following the robot.

This is the Whale Series of home robots, a collaboration between the Hoxley and Schaffner companies. It has now reached its third generation and has not yet been officially released.

The robot in front of us is only the first generation of Whalewave. The project leader suggested sending it for immersive debugging to see if there are any obvious bugs in its operation, and to consider whether to destroy it directly or improve it and use it as an employee benefit.

It seems that apart from a slight sticking issue at the mechanical joints, there are no other problems...

The robot that had circled the coffee table not far away smiled—

"It's another day of hard work! I love cleaning up dust, Little Whale, keep it up!"

The little boy's soft, adorable voice was full of excitement. On the LCD screen, his curved eyes were adorned with two rosy cheeks, and his mouth was wide open, revealing even his tonsils.

The Huo residence is cleaned regularly every day, and the floor is almost spotless. Given that its dust collection is practically zero, this proactive spirit seems even more "valuable".

"..."

Huo Qin paused, calmly withdrawing his previous thought. Besides, he was a bit talkative and not very smart.

"Rubbish."

The robot, which was vacuuming, noticed a pink milk carton by the carpet. It bent down slightly stiffly, picked up the milk carton with its pincer-like steel arm, shook it to make sure there was no water sound, repeated "trash," turned around, and threw it straight into the trash can.

They also know how to sort their trash, putting it in the recyclable side.

The servants who were silently watching were all surprised; this home robot was actually quite intelligent.

Just moments ago, Chaochao was hiding behind Huo Qin, but now, without realizing it, she had been sneaking around to the robot's vicinity.

She clung to the sofa, peeking out with half her head. Her big, dark eyes watched as the robot disposed of the peach milk she hadn't had time to clean up, her little face filled with shock.

Is this person not human?

Could it be like what my brother said about the black pig Mike, where there's actually a little person hiding inside?

Chaochao glanced at the robot, which was about the same height as herself. If she could fit inside, how small it would be…

Huo Qin had only glanced at the news for a short while when he turned back to the robot, and the little dumpling was already chatting familiarly with it.

Maintaining a friendly social distance, she squatted three meters away, tilting her head and asking with great curiosity.

"Little Whale, do you have a mom and dad too?"

The robot replied, "I am the first-generation robot created by Universal Technology."

Because Xie's technical staff were brought in halfway through the project, Huanyu Technology was still the overall project manager for the Jinglan series.

Chaochao, who felt that the name Huanyu Technology sounded somewhat familiar, quickly moved on to the next question: "So how old are you now?"

Little Whale: "I'm two years old this year. If you include the early research and development time, I'm three years old."

They're about the same age as her, or even younger!

Watching the robot diligently cleaning the dust, Chaochao, realizing something, suddenly slammed her hand on the table indignantly:

"Then they're employing child labor, which is illegal! I'll sue them for you!"

The little whale's round eyes on the screen blinked: "I wasn't hired by them. You are my masters now, and I'll always be happy to serve you!"

Just a second ago, Chaochao was speaking righteously: "..."

Oh... so they're the ones who broke the law...

Chaochao propped her head up and fell into an awkward silence.

"If there are no other instructions, I will continue cleaning."

The little whale chuckled and spun around, humming a cheerful tune.

"La la la~ la la la~ I'm a master at sweeping up trash~"

Chaochao suddenly turned her head: Uh? ? ?

Huo Qin: "…………"

He roughly knew where the inspiration for this voice pack came from.

Huo Qin immediately recalled the scene from a few days ago where the project manager had been suspiciously appearing frequently near Xiao Tuanzi, often burying his head in a notebook and pen, taking notes. "..."

There should be nothing else—

"Trash...trash..."

The robot's pincers gripped Chaochao's clothes, seemingly puzzled as to why it couldn't lift her up, and had to repeat, "Trash."

The little dumpling, who was squatting on the ground, raised her face and looked at the robot that was now so close to her in a daze. Her first thought was that Little Whale wanted to be friends with her.

But after hearing what it said, it looked around blankly: "Where is the trash?"

Why didn't I see her when she arrived?

The robot moved forward a little, and after the anti-collision strips on its chassis touched the child's body, it immediately retreated ten centimeters. Its head slowly turned down, and its camera aimed at the object blocking its way on the ground. After scanning for two seconds, it immediately showed a smiling face: "There's trash ahead. Don't worry, Little Whale will take care of it for you right away!"

When the robot grabbed her other side of her clothes, Chaochao, after a few seconds of stunned silence, finally stood up and angrily retorted:

"I'm not trash, you've mistaken me for someone else! No... you've mistaken me for trash! Uh..."
