Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Workaholic Dad 23
On the way home, 9972 was still thinking about Wangwang's behavior just now.
Wangwang did not interrupt when Zhuozhuo first mentioned selling robots, but spoke only after Zhuozhuo and Dr. Wei finalized the cooperation. There is a big difference between the two.
Wangwang was personally made by Dr. Wei and the entire laboratory, so there would be no quality issues. Therefore, it must have recognized the keywords the first time. However, after collecting and analyzing external information, that is, thinking, it concluded that the cooperation between Zhuozhuo and Dr. Wei would not be achieved.
So, Wangwang just stayed quiet.
But after receiving Qin Jin's hint and approval, Zhuozhuo and Dr. Wei's cooperation will surely succeed. Wangwang is worried about being cashed out by Zhuozhuo, so he asks,
Because the previous hosts were unable to gain Qin Jin's trust, they had no way of understanding Dr. Wei's research progress, and basically did not survive to this period, so this was the first time that 9972 saw the research results of the laboratory during the bottleneck period.
Now it seems that it is indeed at the world's leading level. If it can be successfully converted into a product and put on the market, it will definitely bring about a revolution. No wonder Dr. Zhong Wei in the original book was able to produce the 001 robot so quickly after overcoming the bottleneck period.
Although Dr. Wei appears to be a kindly, inventive uncle in front of Zhuozhuo, he's also a character with both good and evil sides in the original book. For example, after China was hit with technological sanctions, Dr. Wei refused official recruitment because he wasn't prepared to pursue legitimate research.
Also, everyone thinks that 001 is so indifferent to life and inhumane because that is the nature of Qin Jin, the prototype. However, Dr. Wei, the producer, has not modified the operating logic of 001.
The main system's plan targets Qin Jin, not Dr. Wei, because according to calculations, after Dr. Wei learns to love, he will almost never choose illegal research again. This would inevitably delay the birth of 001, significantly altering the plot.
Zhuozhuo didn't know that her father in this world was almost not Qin Jin. After returning from the laboratory, she began to ask indirect questions and test what kind of woman Qin Jin liked.
Qin Jin put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "Why are you asking these questions?"
[Because she's going to tell Dr. Wei that she's going to tailor a companion robot just for you.] 9972 silently gloated.
Zhuozhuo didn't want to lie, so he simply hugged Qin Jin's arm and shook it, pleading, "Dad, please tell me."
As a six-year-old, it was surprising that Zhuozhuo had thought of customizing a companion robot for Qin Jin. She had no idea that robots needed to be pre-set with different personalities, voices, appearances, and other details. So when Dr. Wei asked about these things, Zhuozhuo was completely stunned and could only quickly "press" Qin Jin.
Qin Jin guessed Zhuo Zhuo's intention, but he deliberately teased her, talking about other things instead of what she wanted to hear. When Zhuo Zhuo got angry, Qin Jin hugged her and coaxed her softly. After she was coaxed, he slowly stated his request.
It can be a long string of adjectives, which can be summarized as: strong career ambition, outstanding abilities, and good at raising children.
Zhuozhuo didn't think much about it, and was glad that he had recorded the conversation in advance with a children's watch. He quickly sent the recording to Dr. Wei.
After a while, Dr. Wei gave T Zhuozhuo a steady expression of "OK", but he himself was clicking his tongue in the laboratory, saying that Qin Jin was so shameless, fooling a child. What kind of ideal woman was this? This was clearly a realistic description of Qin Jin's own personality.
9972 was in a state of uncertainty. If the current trend continued, Dr. Wei might avoid illegal research, delaying the creation of 001. But Zhuozhuo's actions had actually prompted Dr. Wei to begin creating a robot based on Qin Jin even sooner.
In this way, even if Dr. Wei's methods are not as radical as in the original book and progress is slower, it is still possible for 001 to be born on time.
This strong sense of fate was the self-correction of the small world. However, 9972 had never expected such an unformed small world to be capable of this. It had never encountered such a situation before, perhaps because the previous host cooperation had failed to successfully cause any impact.
Sad.
Probably to watch the fun, Dr. Wei's work progressed very quickly. After the humanoid robot was made, he specifically called Zhuozhuo over to inspect it.
Zhuozhuo looked at the tall silver robot, listened to the familiar voice and way of speaking, and fell into confusion. She ran to Qin Jin and took his hand, hesitantly saying, "Dad, the robot looks like you."
Qin Jin gave Dr. Wei a cold look. He had only told Zhuo Zhuo about her personality traits, and that Dr. Wei was definitely acting like this on purpose. Seeing that Zhuo Zhuo seemed frightened, Qin Jin gently comforted her, "Don't worry, these can all be changed."
With Zhuozhuo around, Dr. Wei wasn't afraid of Qin Jin's cold face. He smiled and said, "Why should we change it? I plan to adjust the robot's appearance to look like you later." Without waiting for Qin Jin to speak, he said to Zhuozhuo in a bewitching tone, "When the time comes, the robot will be like Qin Jin. Then you'll have two fathers. How wonderful!"
From the perspective of completing the mission, 9972 also wanted to persuade Zhuozhuo to agree with Dr. Wei's statement. Unexpectedly, Zhuozhuo, who had quickly accepted Qin Jin as his father, shook his head and said seriously, "Qin Jin has only one father. No matter how similar the robot is to him, it is not him."
The little guy's sweet words always come so unexpectedly that Qin Jin's heart almost softens into a pool of sweet water. He can't help but squat down on one knee and rub his face against Zhuo Zhuo's.
Dr. Wei was so jealous that he was about to change his words, but Zhuozhuo suddenly looked at him with shining eyes and said firmly, "Uncle Wei, you must make this robot exactly like Daddy and teach him all the skills of love."
Before Dr. Wei could react, Qin Jin already had a bad feeling. Before he could stop him, Zhuozhuo turned around, looked at him and said loudly, "Dad, I want you to know that your inability to find a wife has nothing to do with your appearance or personality. It's your own fault. You're being passive and slacking off!"
Qin Jin: “…”
Dr. Wei laughed out loud, "Pupuhahaha".
Qin Jin ignored Dr. Wei's ridicule and looked down at the ground, as if hurt. He said softly, "Zhuozhuo, are you going to force Dad to do something he doesn't want to do?"
This was the first time Qin Jin had shown a "vulnerable" expression in front of Zhuo Zhuo, and the first time he had said such accusatory words. Zhuo Zhuo was very flustered and looked at Qin Jin anxiously, saying anxiously and self-blamingly, "Dad, I'm sorry, please don't be sad."
Qin Jin's heart tightened at the sight of this. He regretted scaring Zhuo Zhuo, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "I know Zhuo Zhuo wants someone to accompany his father, but you are not me. How do you know that I must find a partner?"
"Because Dad is very lonely, Auntie, Grandma, Sister Li, Aunt Sun, Uncle Qian and many others think that Dad needs to get married." Zhuo Zhuo followed Qin Jin's words and began to think about it. He found the problem, "Dad, I didn't ask you, so you just believed what others said."
It’s obviously Qin Jin’s business, and who can understand Qin Jin better than Qin Jin himself?
Qin Jin said with relief, "That's right, you can't just follow what others say. You have to think for yourself and make your own judgments. Zhuozhuo is really amazing for realizing your mistake so quickly."
After being praised, Zhuozhuo smiled again and said excitedly, "I should also ask Dad if he likes his current life, because everyone has different preferences. For example, Dad likes honey and bitter melon but not shrimp. I don't like honey and bitter melon, but I love shrimp."
"Yes, Zhuozhuo is so smart." Qin Jin hugged Zhuozhuo into his arms and said slowly: "Dad likes his current life very much and doesn't want anyone to join in."
Any relationship is exclusive, and it is not yet time for Qin Jin to make changes.
Zhuozhuo thought seriously, "If I force Dad to get married, he'll definitely be very sad. This is a case of good intentions leading to bad consequences."
"Zhuozhuo is right." Qin Jin felt that his little girl was so smart that no other child her age could compare to her. He praised her generously, which made Zhuozhuo shy. She leaned into Qin Jin's arms and said, "Dad, I won't make this mistake again."
"With daddy around, Zhuozhuo can make mistakes." Qin Jin now felt that even if Zhuozhuo blew up the planet, he would risk his life to clean up the mess for her.
Dr. Wei watched in amazement. Qin Jin, with his domineering, overbearing personality, could actually teach Zhuo Zhuo the principles of "You are not fish" and "Others are hell." This probably demonstrates the importance of instilling correct universal values in children, regardless of their own moral character.
Could Qin Jin stop being so annoying when teaching a child? Dr. Wei was about to vomit. He smiled and said, "Zhuozhuo, the production line for the Wangwang second-generation robot is complete, and the materials have been purchased. The robot will be produced soon. You can tell your buyer that the payment is ready."
In fact, Qin Jin had already paid for the robot that Zhuozhuo had customized, but she worked so hard that the adults couldn't bear to tell her that she didn't have to do it anymore.
Zhuozhuo's attention was immediately drawn to her, and she looked at Dr. Wei eagerly, "How many more days will it take?" It was too fast, and Zhuozhuo was a little nervous. She thought it would take at least a year.
Qin Jin was most aware of the progress, but Zhuo Zhuo was unaware and subconsciously asked Dr. Wei. Dr. Wei observed Zhuo Zhuo's expression, considered it for a moment, and said, "It will be ready in half a month."
Zhuozhuo breathed a sigh of relief; half a month was enough time for her to notify the buyer. With something on her mind, Zhuozhuo couldn't stay here any longer. After saying goodbye to the robot and Dr. Wei, she urged Qin Jin to leave.
On the way home, Zhuozhuo was thinking to himself, his expression changing from one moment to the next, which was very adorable. When he got home, Zhuozhuo asked the housekeeper to help him find the atlases sent from various places. After making a selection himself, he asked Qin Jin for his opinion.
Qin Jin already understood what Zhuozhuo was planning to do, but pretended not to notice. He said, "These places are all beautiful. What does Zhuozhuo want to use them for? Different needs lead to different choices of locations."
Zhuozhuo, still unfamiliar with technical terms, said childishly, "I want to hold a party, invite a lot of people, and let Wangwang demonstrate his abilities. That way, more people will buy it."
After a while, Zhuozhuo was no longer satisfied with just selling robots; she wanted to sell many more. Having grown up with Qin Jin, and influenced by him, Zhuozhuo naturally came up with the idea of holding a product launch conference.
