Chapter 314 She Must Protect
Zhu Haoting stood at the school gate, and several classmates immediately surrounded her.
"What did you gain today?" Zhu Haoting asked.
"I bought two bags, and these are the only two bags left in the store." One of the girls proudly opened her schoolbag and took out two bags of snacks, which were the orange-raspberry flavored Ququ Roland puff bombs. The other two students, a boy and a girl, looked ashamed and said, "Sorry, we didn't buy any, the convenience store near my home is out of this flavor."
"Ah, thank you. I'm so happy. I'll give you the money later." Zhu Haoting took the two bags of puffs and showed a sincere smile to the girl who bought them. Then she turned to the other two students and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't buy them. It was just a side trip." Her expression was particularly sincere, but there was a hint of disappointment in her tone, which immediately made the two students feel more ashamed, as if they had done something wrong to her.
Zhu Haoting was born with fair skin, white teeth, bright eyes, a generous temperament, and excellent academic performance, which naturally attracted a group of peers to surround her. Although she was only a primary school student, Zhu Haoting realized her advantages very early. In her opinion, it was never a big deal to ask her followers to help her.
"Ji Chunfei said he was also asking someone if he could buy this through a fixed channel," a girl said. "Today he also asked if he could join our after-school homework group."
The after-school homework group is a mutual aid group that the class teacher arranges students to form spontaneously after class. In a sense, the mutual aid group that Zhu Haoting is in now is a small group centered on Zhu Haoting, who has the best grades. Currently, many students in the class want to join.
"Ji Chunfei." Ji Chunfei is a boy sitting in the back row of the class. He is usually introverted and uncommunicative. It would be great if he could have a fixed channel. Zhu Haoting smiled and said, "If he wants to join, it's fine as long as everyone agrees."
When her group dispersed, a girl asked Zhu Haoting curiously, "Why do you like this taste so much?"
"My sick cousin really wants to eat this flavor." Zhu Haoting said calmly, "I want to fulfill her wish."
"Oh, so that's how it is." The girl looked touched and said that she would help Zhu Haoting take care of it when she saw it in the future.
Zhu Haoting once again showed a happy and sincere smile to express his gratitude to the girl.
When the last classmate left, Zhu Haoting had returned to her community. She turned into a green bush in a secluded area of the community and took out a bag of Ququ Roland Puff Bombs from her schoolbag.
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss…”
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss…”
She tore open the bag and tapped it a few times, making a soft hissing sound. After a while, the bushes shook a few times, and a fluffy little thing appeared. Its appearance was cuter than all the plush toys in the store. It stood upright two meters away from Zhu Haoting, its eyes fixed on the bag in Zhu Haoting's hand.
"Look, I brought you your favorite flavor." Zhu Haoting said as she picked up the bag of snacks.
But the little thing just stared at the snack in her hand and didn't move forward. Zhu Haoting knew that although it looked so cute, it was actually a very cunning and cautious little animal. Even though Zhu Haoting had been showing goodwill to it with puff bombs for many days, it still didn't want to get close.
Throwing the puff bombs on the ground for it to eat won't work either. This little thing is very clean. Once it touches the ground, it won't touch it again. Zhu Haoting sighed and threw the whole bag over.
The little creature swiftly caught the snack bag and sniffed it. Zhu Haoting didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the little creature had a satisfied expression on its face. It nodded at Zhu Haoting, and the little girl suddenly felt dizzy. "Oh, I'm so cute" This exaggerated sentence appeared in her mind.
It’s so cute and healing. Zhu Haoting thought, I must have it! I must take it home! !
The little thing suddenly hugged the puff bag, raised its ears, and rushed into the bushes and green plants.
"Meng Meng... " Zhu Haoting reached out her hand to it, but the little thing had already run away without a trace. Strange, it would not have left so quickly before. She stood up puzzled and went to the place where the little thing was just now, where only the quiet green plants were left.
She turned and walked out of the corner, and saw several stern-looking men in black walking hurriedly in the community.
Man in black?
It was not long after she first spotted Meng Meng that she also saw these suspicious men in black on the road. Zhu Haoting's imaginative little head immediately realized the crisis. Could it be that this little thing was being hunted by some bad guys? It was true. She looked through the illustrations but couldn't find out what kind of animal the little thing was. Could it be that the little thing escaped from some research institute...
This won't do! Zhu Haoting thought to herself, Mengmeng is mine, I was the first to find it, and only I can take it home. She looked at the men in black, and a sense of mission arose spontaneously.
This little thing must be protected by her.
It was a peaceful weekend.
Xiao Zhen opened the door as usual and walked into his own dining room. Then he stared at the table for ten seconds, and finally couldn't help pointing at the table and said, "What is this?"
"Your dining table." Mr. Cat said coldly.
"Of course I know this is the dining table in my house." Xiao Zhen pointed at an object that was slowly moving on the table, "But what is this!!" The metal object leisurely stretched out its front legs towards Xiao Zhen.
Mr. Cat glanced at him with an idiotic look on his face, "This is a little robot. Has your IQ dropped to the point where you can't even tell a robot apart?"
"Of course I know it's a robot. But why would it appear on my dining table?" Xiao Zhen said, "Do you know someone is coming over soon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Li appeared in the restaurant. Facing the little robot on the table, she seemed extremely calm. Under Xiaozhen's surprised gaze, she placed a plate of apples in front of the little robot and said, "I'll leave this to you." The little robot's forelimbs ejected a blade and it began to peel the apple skillfully.
"Aunt Li, you're not surprised at all."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "I was surprised when I first saw it. This is a high-tech robot brought back by Mr. Yan. It can help peel apples. It's great."
"My dad brought it back?"
"Well, yes."
The style of this little robot is obviously a variant of the interstellar universal robot series, and it is definitely not a product of Earth's technology. Could it be that Yan An brought a little robot home during that unexpected interstellar trip? Considering the industries that Yan An has created in the interstellar, this is not surprising.
But Yan An, who soon appeared in the restaurant, denied it.
"I didn't bring this little robot back with me."
"What is this?"
"It was brought by A-mi, uh, Mr. Cat." Yan An explained, "I signed an agreement not to reveal Mr. Cat's identity and the things about the aliens to your mother, Aunt Li, and the others, so I said that this is a small robot secretly developed by the company. Look, it can peel apples."
"..." Xiao Zhen turned to look at Mr. Cat, "So, you brought this!"
"Did I deny it?"
"…Why did you bring a little robot home??"
“It can peel apples.”
“…”
"It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten it." Mr. Cat said sarcastically, "How heartless."
"What?" Xiao Zhen turned around and looked at the robot carefully. It was about the size of a bottle of toilet water. Its metal forelimbs were working at high speed. In the blink of an eye, it peeled the apples cleanly. It was very particular about peeling the skin. It cut all the way to the end without any break in the middle. The peeled apples were rounder and more delicate. Aunt Li, who had returned to the restaurant, praised it again.
But he didn't have any deep friendship with a little robot in his past memories, but if he had to say something about the robot...
"Long time no see, Mr. Yan Zhen." The little robot slid to the corner of the dining table and greeted him with the electronic voice of a tablet.
Hearing this familiar name, Xiao Zhen blurted out: "Roken M89?"
"I am Roken M90," the little robot replied, "I inherited most of M89's data. Thank you for saving its (my) mind chip."
"Ah, so you are now Roken M90!"
"I'm happy to continue serving you."
During the unforgettable journey in Hope Township, Xiao Zhen certainly would not forget the loyal and reliable robot Roken M89. Seeing it reborn with a brand new look, he couldn't help but say, "Your appearance has really changed a lot. I mean, Roken M89 used to be taller than me, but now you are not even as tall as a mineral water bottle."
"There is no necessary correlation between my body size and my performance. My high-speed computing ability and logical thinking ability have not declined at all. I am the most advanced technology of the Galactic Federation's artificial intelligence." Roken M90's electronic eyes flashed, "It was Mr. Cat's order to become this size."
"Oh? Why? Is it more compact and more convenient to move around?"
Mr. Cat said, "Because it is convenient for peeling apples."
Roken M90 echoed, "Yes, for peeling apples."
“…”
Xiaozhen lost interest in talking to Mr. Cat.
He turned and went back to his room.
After turning on the computer, Xiao Zhen casually opened the chat software, and the class group and classmates group were filled with a series of 99+ chat records. He clicked in and saw his beautiful school anniversary photos without surprise. Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched. Since the school anniversary ended, his classmates would talk about their unforgettable school anniversary performances when they had nothing to do. Xiao Zhen didn't want to pay attention to them at all. He closed the class group, and then a conversation window popped up.
"My magical girl Zhenzhen..." A PS5 avatar kept flashing along with exaggerated expressions.
Xiao Zhen looked at the conversation window and typed, "Choi Mingzhi? Your avatar has become PS5."
Choi Mingzhi: "I've changed it for a month! Did you just notice it now?"
Xiao Zhen: "Oh."
Cui Mingzhi: "Hehe, let me tell you, PS5 is awesome."
Xiao Zhen: "Oh."
Choi Ming-chi: "I wouldn't mind if you came to my house to play PS5..."
Xiao Zhen: "Oh."
Cui Mingzhi: "You haven't been hiding anything from me and Liu Xingquan recently, have you?"
Xiao Zhen: “No.”
Cui Mingzhi: “Really?”
Xiao Zhen: "Really not."
Cui Mingzhi: "Humph, you two should stop forming a heartless clique. Next time you do something awesome, you must call me."
Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched and she was about to quit the chat, but she saw Choi Mingzhi's PS5 avatar flashing and he sent another message.
Cui Mingzhi: "Tomorrow when you pass by the convenience store below your house, please check for me if they have the Ququ Luolan brand of puffs."
Xiao Zhen: "Isn't there a convenience store near your house?"
Cui Mingzhi: "My orange-raspberry flavored puffs are all sold out. I want this flavor. Please help me check it out when you go to school tomorrow."
Xiao Zhen: "Why do you want this too? Is it so delicious?"
Cui Mingzhi: "Brother, please help me take a look. I will report back to you one day."
Seeing his strong request, Xiaozhen agreed.
It turns out that Choi Ming-chi’s taste is similar to that of elementary school girls, Xiaozhen thought.
