After hanging up the video call, Glek turned on his personal computer and began browsing information about hovercars and nanny robots.
The prices of different hovercars vary greatly, with cheaper hovercars costing only a few hundred thousand interstellar coins, while more expensive ones can cost as much as tens of millions of interstellar coins.
Therefore, ordinary families generally cannot afford to buy private hovercars, but it's not a big problem, as it's also very convenient to travel by hoverbus.
Of course, you get what you pay for. The more expensive the hovercar, the better its performance in all aspects. For the wealthy, hovercars are a symbol of their status.
After searching for a long time, Glek finally posted on the interstellar network to ask for the opinions of some young girls before choosing a hovercar suitable for women to drive.
This hovercar is luxurious in both its exterior and interior, and is completely customized according to the customer's needs. The color of the hovercar can be changed with one click, and it can also be turned into a cute and compact bedroom. Not to mention the other basic configurations, compared to this hovercar, the hovercar from Glek is a base model.
Putting aside the car's performance, its fancy features alone are enough to attract girls.
Of course, all these gimmicks weren't done for nothing. This hovercar is priced at 1.59 million interstellar coins, and its target users are the young ladies from wealthy families.
As it turns out, the designer of this hovercar understood girls' minds quite well. After its launch, the hovercar sold very well and became the dream car for many girls.
After choosing the hovercar, Glek then began selecting a nanny robot for Xia Qingqing.
Nanny robots have always been popular in the interstellar community and are an indispensable helper for most families. Whether it's doing housework or helping to take care of children, nanny robots can handle it all.
Many parents are too busy with work to take care of their children, so they leave them with nanny robots.
Of course, there are many types of nanny robots. The most common type can only complete the housework assigned by the owner according to the pre-set program.
More advanced nanny robots possess the ability to think independently and can directly act as family butlers.
More advanced nanny robots, in addition to the functions mentioned above, also come with attack and defense capabilities, but they are more expensive.
The nanny robot used by the Glek family is the second type, which is perfectly adequate for a family like theirs.
Considering that it was inconvenient to recharge the nanny robot in Xia Qingqing's dimension, Glek chose a nanny robot that could directly use energy blocks.
This nanny robot is priced at 880,000 Star Coins and comes with a free Energy Block.
If the nanny robot operates around the clock, the energy from one energy block can last for one year.
Each additional energy block costs 30,000 Star Coins, so Glek bought 10 energy blocks directly.
Because the hovercar is a custom-made model, it will take 3 days to arrive.
The nanny robot happened to be in stock, and after Gleek placed the order, a dedicated person delivered it to their door in less than 2 hours.
Mrs. Carl came out to check when she heard the commotion and saw that her son had bought a new nanny robot. She couldn't help but grumble a bit:
“Greek, Ruth can handle all the household chores perfectly well. Why did you buy another robot? Do you have money to burn? Stop buying these useless things. You should save your money and get yourself a better mech.”
When Glek was admitted to the Interstellar Military Academy, his family gritted their teeth and bought him a mecha, but their resources were limited, so they only bought an ordinary second-generation mecha.
You have to understand that the mechs have already been updated to the fourth generation. A decent fourth-generation mech costs tens of millions of interstellar coins. Back then, their family simply couldn't afford it, so they had to make do with Glek.
Now that they finally have some savings, the Carls discussed getting their son a fourth-generation mech.
As a result, the silly son spent over a million interstellar dollars to buy a nanny robot that Mrs. Karl considered useless. How could she not feel heartbroken?
Knowing that his mother had misunderstood him, Glek quickly explained, "Mom, this robot wasn't bought for the family; it's for trading goods with Xia Qingqing."
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you say so sooner?" Mrs. Carl touched her nose somewhat embarrassedly.
"It was my fault. I'll definitely let you know in advance next time," Glek said obediently, admitting his mistake.
Hearing her son's quick apology, Mrs. Carl suddenly felt like she had been making a fuss over nothing. She said seriously, "It's my fault for blaming you before I even knew the truth. We should send the robot over to them quickly, or they'll be waiting impatiently."
"Okay," Glek replied with a smile, and then directly transferred the nanny robot to Xia Qingqing. Worried that Xia Qingqing wouldn't know how to use it, he thoughtfully sent her instructions on how to turn it on and off and how to use it.
After ending her video call with Glek, Xia Qingqing rode her bicycle to the nearby countryside.
She rode for about an hour, stopping and starting along the way. She dug up different kinds of plants and put them into the system's warehouse, and also filled a large bucket with soil.
Upon arriving at the destination, Xia Qingqing traded some vegetable seeds and fertilized chicken, duck, and goose eggs with the villagers. She also traded candy with two seven- or eight-year-old boys for six bird eggs.
Live animals cannot be kept in the system's warehouse, and it's unknown whether these eggs can successfully hatch into chicks or ducklings; Glek will have to try to find out.
After Xia Qingqing arrived home, she received the nanny robot sent by Gleek.
This is a nanny robot that looks like a woman. It's a little different from what Xia Qingqing imagined. This robot looks like a real person, but its dull gaze and motionless body look a little strange.
This robot is about 1.7 meters tall, with realistic skin that feels warm to the touch. It has an Asian face with black hair and black eyes.
This was probably chosen by Glek based on her appearance.
Xia Qingqing was quite satisfied with this detail. If someone accidentally saw it one day, she could explain that it was a new friend she had made. It would be hard to explain if the robot looked like a Westerner, as foreigners were quite rare at this time.
Following the instructions Glek had given her, Xia Qingqing found a hidden switch on the back of the robot. When she pressed the switch, the robot seemed to come to life instantly.
Her gaze was fixed on Xia Qingqing, and she uttered a gentle female voice:
"Hello, Master. I am the No. 1 Nanny Robot. I am happy to serve you."
