Zhao Mei was speechless, not wanting to discuss with a non-human object from the distant future the issue of this person in front of her, whose vision and touch were exactly like a human, triggering her uncanny valley effect. She said bluntly, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. So, how do you actually turn on this bionic gene-powered android you're talking about?"
[Host, you only need to press and hold the back of his neck for five seconds. This smart butler has been bound to your DNA, please feel free to use it.]
Zhao Mei gently touched the back of the android's neck and found a smooth, barely noticeable bulge. After pressing on it for five seconds, the "person" in front of her suddenly moved. Zhao Mei was so scared that she wanted to leave immediately, but her curiosity made her feet seem to be nailed to the floor.
"Powered on, now performing initial setup..."
"Hello, please give me a name." He raised his head and looked at Zhao Mei with his dark and lifeless eyes. The mechanical sound he made scared Zhao Mei so much that she got goose bumps all over her body.
"Zhao Jing, let's call him that."
"Okay, I'm Zhao Jing, at your service. Please choose my voice." Zhao Jing played more than 20 different built-in male voices, and finally Zhao Mei chose a clear young man's voice.
"The eleventh sound has been set for you. Please continue to set it up..."
Sure enough, Zhao Mei could accept it much better after switching to a normal voice. However, this startup setting was too much! After being questioned for half an hour, Zhao Mei was almost like a robot in the end. Finally, she heard a word that made her feel relieved.
"Congratulations, your startup setup is complete. Next, we will wake up "Zhao Jing" to officially start serving you..."
Zhao Jing's eyes closed gently, his eyeballs rolled twice, and then he opened his eyes. His black eyes were full of luster, his face showed expression, and he stood up from the box.
Only after Zhao Jing stood up did Zhao Mei see the clothes in his arms. It was a simple-looking suit. After putting it on, he smiled at her and said his first words.
"Hello, Miss Zhao. My name is Zhao Jing. Over the next few days, I will take care of every aspect of your daily life, including but not limited to your health, food, clothing, travel, and accommodation. I apologize for the fact that I may have startled you while I was booting up. I'd also like to explain that, aside from the somewhat rudimentary built-in boot system, I'm a fairly mature android. Serving you is my sole purpose, so there's no need to worry."
In fact, after Zhao Jing said the first sentence, Zhao Mei had already felt that although he and she had subtle differences, at least their brains were very similar, and they were even the same species. The level of technology was so amazing that it could be said that no matter the facial expressions or the subtle tone when speaking, they were no different from normal humans.
Moreover, this was an excellent butler with all-around skills that was bound to her DNA. Zhao Mei quickly overcame her psychological discomfort and spoke to him normally: "Then my butler, can you show me around my house?"
Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Miss. Please follow me and I'll show you around."
Zhao Jing walked in front and took Zhao Mei to visit the whole house bit by bit. There were three floors in total, four living rooms, five bedrooms, and a large sauna room on the bedroom balcony. Walking back and forth made Zhao Mei feel that she was lucky to have called Zhao Jing, otherwise she would have gotten lost until dark.
So far, everything that appeared before Zhao Mei's eyes was still within the scope of normal people's understanding. The four-meter-long crystal chandelier was not difficult to explain. The 100-square-meter cloakroom on the basement floor and the huge home theater were not too outrageous. After watching it in a daze, Zhao Mei did not think it was too outrageous.
Until Zhao Jing pushed open the last door underground for Zhao Mei with a smile, Zhao Mei could not deny that she was so shocked at that moment that she felt as if her soul had left her body.
Before Zhao Mei's eyes lay a double-story library with an eight-meter-high ceiling. Looking at the bookshelves lining the walls, the large artistic landscape light in the center, and the staircases winding up to the second floor, Zhao Mei felt her vision blur and her legs go weak.
She leaned over slightly, looking at Zhao Jing's face as he asked her nervously, and felt a buzzing in her head. For a moment, Zhao Mei couldn't tell whether it was tears of joy that had been suppressed for a long time and finally broke out, or uncertain sadness.
Emotional outbursts always come so suddenly. She burst into tears, not knowing what she was crying about. She just squatted down, hugged herself, and cried heartbreakingly. In that moment, she thought a lot: If I had the system earlier, would I not have been bullied? If I had the system earlier, would my parents not have been chased for debt in their 50s and 60s? Would I have been able to happily fish, cook, and travel?
What Zhao Mei wanted most at this time was to go home.
Zhao Mei cried for a while, feeling satisfied. She looked up and saw a handkerchief appear in front of her. She didn't know where Zhao Jing had conjured it from, but after Zhao Mei wiped her tears and took back the handkerchief, Zhao Mei couldn't help but laugh. "What are you doing? Aren't you a very experienced housekeeper? Isn't it normal for people to suddenly burst into tears?"
Zhao Jing held his forehead slightly. "But Miss, this happened too suddenly. You suddenly lost your balance, squatted down, and started crying loudly. And from what I observed, you didn't have any physical symptoms... But if it's an emotional problem, I've evaluated it and it seems that I really can't help..."
Zhao Mei's face flushed. "Hahaha, it's really sudden, but I just miss home, that's all. Yeah, just missing home. I might go back in a couple of days."
"Okay, miss. I will arrange everything for you after your trip. Please rest assured." Zhao Jing found his familiar and confident territory again. "Then miss, will you have dinner at home today? It's time to start preparing dinner now."
"Of course, there is a car that needs me to sign for tonight." After Zhao Mei said this, she left the family library that left a deep impression on her, and Zhao Jing followed closely behind.
Of course, there was no food to cook at home. Zhao Mei ignored Zhao Jing's guilt and chose to use high technology, Kangaroo Takeout, to deliver a large bag of fresh ingredients. She asked Zhao Jing to cook well and went upstairs to complete her daily tasks.
After reaching the second floor, Zhao Mei was struck by the 200-square-meter master bedroom for the second time. She was immediately ejected onto the bed. After taking a deep breath and feeling the decadent capitalist life, she called out to the system: "Xiao Lan! I want to start my daily task now! How long will it take?"
[In real time, based on the host's intelligence and overall attributes, it will only take at least two hours. Please rest assured. Then, the mission challenge will begin for you now.]
"Wait!? What do you mean with my strength, I only need at least two hours..." Zhao Mei opened her eyes wide and was pulled into the system space before she could finish her protest.
