MTL - Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!-Chapter 108
In the bustling shopping mall, when the anxious old man found his grandson who was running around, he found a big gift box in his hand.
"Running around without seeing you, I'm so anxious." The old man patted his chest and asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"
With a joyful smile on his face, the little boy pointed to the counter behind him: "Grandma, a big brother said that I am today's lucky star, and this is for me."
The old man was taken aback, and looked at the busy salesperson at the counter. The salesperson who had communicated with Pei Qingyuan in advance immediately smiled and nodded at her: "This kid is a lucky customer we randomly selected."
"There is such a good thing..." The old man thanked again and again, "Thank you, you are so kind."
Seeing the simple old man walking away with his grandson, Ji Tong whispered to the people around him, "Thank you, host."
Pei Qingyuan saw the golden light quietly appearing on Ji Tong's neck, and a silent smile appeared in his eyes.
He was also a lucky one to be chosen.
The two played outside for most of the day. When they returned to school, their roommates Huang Wen and Cui Yinan, who lived in other cities, had already returned a day earlier, and the whole dormitory building was lively again.
As soon as Ji Tong and Pei Qingyuan entered the door, Huang Wen, who was completely tired of playing games at home for a week, immediately let out a long sigh, dropped his mobile phone and poked his head out from under the bed curtain: "You two are back, I'm bored to death."
When Ji Tong asked for a gift last time, he planned to give Pei Qingyuan a mouse: "Brother Pei, the mouse is on your desk. You can try it later, if it doesn't work, you can change it."
Just as Pei Qingyuan thanked him, he heard him say again: "By the way, what did you give Xiaotong? Did you give me a matching keyboard? What are you two doing during the holidays?"
Ji Tong was vague: "No, I gave something else."
Of course the details cannot be told to the roommate.
Cui Yinan was much more careful than Huang Wen, and immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere between the two, and also noticed the necklace hanging around Ji Tong's neck, and said sincerely: "This necklace is pretty."
Brother Pei's aesthetics are really good.
Huang Wen immediately stretched his neck to join in the fun: "It looks good, which girl gave it to me? It's very tasteful."
He thought of Ji Tong's circle of friends queuing up under the Ferris wheel a few days ago, and gossiped: "Are you really off the list? What type? I'm betting on a Yujie type! It seems to be more suitable for you. When will you bring a girlfriend?" Come have dinner with us."
Ji Tong tried his best to hold back his laughter, and at the same time secretly glanced at the host's expression from the corner of his eye.
A certain "Yujie-type girlfriend" froze, watching Xiao Huang silently.
Xiao Huang didn't realize it, and turned to Cui Yinan excitedly, "What kind of bet are you betting on? Treat yourself if you lose!"
I bet you a big headed ghost.
Cui Yinan, who gave Pei Qingyuan and Ji Tong a good luck talisman as a gift, rolled his eyes, thinking that he should also give a good luck talisman to the rough roommate.
"Happy birthday, bring the cake!" He changed the subject without revealing anything to save Xiao Huang, "It's the last day of the holiday, and I need something sweet."
He looked behind the two of them: "Hey, is there no cake?"
"Thank you." Pei Qingyuan accepted the gift, "I will send a cake in the evening."
Ji Tong added: "The cake is quite big, and there will be a lot of snacks. Can you call some familiar students from our class over?"
He Shiwen insisted on making an extra-large cake for Pei Qingyuan, saying that it would have to be bigger than in high school. The young He Xingxing made a suggestion beside him: Since the cake is so big, it would be too wasteful to put only candles. Serve with anything that fits in the cake.
Ji Tong likes fancy things the most, so he nods repeatedly.
Considering that it must be Ji Tong's first birthday like this, Pei Qingyuan didn't refuse, and even took the initiative to accompany Ji Tong and He Xingxing to choose a celebration toy.
It will surely amaze everyone later.
The two roommates didn't know what kind of cake they would see, so they said cheerfully, "No problem, it's more crowded."
"Just make it a party. It's still early for Xiaotong to go to bed. Do you want to buy some barbecue drinks? Old Cui, where did you buy the barbecue when you came back from running last time?"
"Okay, I'll buy barbecue later, and you can buy drinks."
"No, why do you always ask me to carry heavy things?"
"Maybe I hope you will wake up sooner."
Although this room is a mixed dormitory, everyone's major is different from the college, but the other students in the class basically live on the same floor, and you can meet them in the building from time to time, and the boys from the Electronic Intelligence Institute headed by Ouyang Yu often come to visit. Over the next month, they got to know Cui Yinan and Huang Wen quite well.
While waiting for the cake to arrive, Ji Tong turned on the computer and concentrated on watching the video.
Tangdou Robot was launched today. As the result of an old traditional home appliance company’s first foray into the smart field, it has attracted the attention of many people in the industry. Many evaluation videos have been released, and of course some of them were contacted by the marketing department of Deng Shu’s company. of.
In the video, the first reaction of different bloggers seeing the jelly bean robot is basically to laugh, thinking that this shape is too funny.
When it was really tested, most of the bloggers were amazed.
"This stability and flexibility... Coupled with this price, it can be said to be very conscientious."
"To be honest, it dances silkier than many people, and the mechanical parts are quite well-made. Then I will test the built-in AI, starting with the accuracy of its speech recognition under different noise environments..."
There are also bloggers who don't engage in serious evaluations and adopt a funny style.
As a commodity, the jelly bean robot still follows the two modes designed by Pei Qingyuan, one-to-one intelligent companion mode and general standby mode. The former has a setting similar to the lock screen password of a mobile phone. Only when the robot name is called correctly can it be used. Full functionality.
Because Tangdou Robot is positioned as a service robot, it will record a large number of user data and behavior traces to better complete the interaction between it and users. Under this premise, the one-to-one model is very interesting. Safety settings.
The premise of using these two modes is to give it a name first. In the step of naming, netizens give full play to their wild imagination.
"The name I set for it is Dad. Although it is a bit awkward to call it, the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
The blogger explained solemnly: "When I was a child, my parents always liked to look through my diary, and it didn't work with a lock. Today, I bought this and came back and I'm ready to move, but I don't believe they dare to call a robot Dad."
There are also bloggers who directly demonstrate their cordial interaction with robots.
In the picture, the young man holding back a smile and pretending to be serious shouted: "I call you, do you dare to agree?"
The jelly bean robot named "I call you, do you dare to agree?" quickly raised its mechanical arm to make a move, and the oval belly flashed with colorful lights, and happily responded: "Hey!"
Ji Tong laughed while watching, and Pei Qingyuan also watched with him.
After a while, Huang Wen and Cui Yinan, attracted by the laughter, involuntarily approached.
A group of male college students staring at the computer screen silly.
"This looks so interesting. I regret it. I shouldn't have been reserved last time when Brother Pei asked me if I wanted it."
"The cold jokes and jokes it tells are very new. I haven't heard of them before. I want to buy one for my grandma to relieve boredom. Isn't this only for children?"
Pei Qingyuan, the only one who did not join the silly music camp, explained: "No, it is common to all age groups. There are special built-in children's mode and elderly mode, but it is relatively more popular with children at present."
After all, this look may seem a little naive to some adults.
The robot samples brought by Deng Shu were enough, so Pei Qingyuan asked Huang Wen and Cui Yinan to choose the color they like, and the two immediately happily picked one, and ran back to the bunk to study.
When Ji Tong was watching the video with gusto, a series of notification sounds suddenly sounded in the phone.
He glanced at it, it was a message from the group chat of the RS Cup team.
At first, there were only him, Pei Qingyuan, and Xie Yuchi in this group. After deciding to make a robot Mayou, they gradually absorbed other members, such as Ouyang Yu, who was in Ji Tong's class.
Now it was Xie Yuchi who excitedly sent a lot of news.
[Xie Yuchi: This image is so cool! ! ]
[Xie Yuchi: I am sorry for the ridicule when I first saw this robot. ]
[Xie Yuchi: So handsome, so handsome, so handsome! How did you invite him? ]
Ji Tong blankly opened the picture he sent, which was full of artistic graffiti covering a whole wall.
In front of the background of silver-gray sci-fi texture, a deep black hat dimly reflects the appearance of the future world, like complicated fabric shading, and also like condensed spider webs, and the long mechanical limbs below are shining with cold inorganic matter of gloss.
In the center of the gloomy limbs, the huge oval body of the robot reflects the hazy glory of the old world, and the slightly childish and weird temperament suddenly seems appropriate, and a sense of interlacing of the past and the future emerges vividly on the paper.
Ji Tong was shocked instantly, his eyes revealed surprise.
[Ji Tong: Really handsome! ! Who drew it? ]
[Xie Yuchi:? ? ? do not you know? This graffiti is now very popular on the Internet. Many foreigners don't know that it is a robot product that has just been launched. I think it is specially arranged by Mr. Deng's company to promote it. ]
[Xie Yuchi: It is the work of a domestic artist living overseas. He is very mysterious and has a free-spirited style. I don’t think he has advertised for any brand. ]
Although Xie Yuchi has a cold and world-weary iceberg face, he is actually very fashionable and lively, and he is keen on chasing various trends. It can be seen from the exaggeratedly colored comic joint sweater on him when we first met.
Ji Tong noticed that the host was also looking at the phone, and immediately leaned over: "Did you see the group chat? Isn't the jelly bean in that picture very handsome?"
Pei Qingyuan's expression became a little weird after seeing that picture.
"En." He simply responded, sliding his finger on the screen with a little hesitation.
Ji Tong was not very satisfied with the host's flat reaction. After all, he created the image of Jelly Bean. At this moment, he was very excited to see such an excellent derivative work.
He emphasized passionately: "This artist painted jelly beans so coolly, I want to print out this painting and stick it on the wall. Is he contacted by Uncle Deng? It's really amazing."
So Pei Qingyuan's expression became more subtle.
"No." He paused, and said frankly, "I know him."
Like the mouse given by Huang Wen and the good luck charm given by Cui Yinan, this was also a birthday present for him.
While Ji Tong and Xie Yuchi were admiring the graffiti in the group chat, Pei Qingyuan saw the message from the artist before.
[Pei Siyou: Happy birthday, a small gift for you, isn't it cool? ]
[Pei Siyou: I have something to go back to China next week, see you then. ]
There were only a few words on the screen, without mentioning the turmoil of last year's life experience, as if nothing had happened, and the memories of many years ago have not been completely erased because of the disappearance of the blood relationship.
When Pei Qingyuan lived in Pei's family, apart from his grandfather Pei Huaishan, the person he had the best relationship with was Pei Huaishan's youngest son, who was also his uncle at the time, Pei Siyou.
Compared with his career-obsessed "father" and his controlling "mother", he was closer to his uncle Pei Siyou in his childhood.
Because Pei Qingyuan was reticent since he was a child, Pei Siyou, whose personality is completely opposite to his, liked to tease him very much, in a way similar to Ji Tong who liked to see him wearing a dinosaur sweater.
In a childhood full of heavy studies and various specialty trainings, it became one of the few times when Pei Qingyuan could get a moment of respite.
But then the relationship between Pei Siyou and his elder brother deteriorated day by day. One is free and willful, while the other is chasing fame and fortune, but the former is always suspected by the latter.
In order to avoid more disputes, Pei Siyou simply went abroad to engage in art, and occasionally took his father to relax and vacation, and the relationship with his brother's family became estranged. He only chatted with his nephew Pei Qingyuan during the New Year and holidays.
Over time, Pei Qingyuan's impression of this uncle gradually became blurred, but what he remembered most clearly was his cynical personality and outstanding artistic talent.
…and some important features that suddenly dawn on you today.
A novel protagonist with a similar style to Ji Yanxing, the drawing of robots is very cool and won Ji Tong's favorite painting skills, and there is also a social account profile picture wearing a suit and playing handsome.
The real elements are full.
Hearing that the host said he knew the person who painted this painting, Ji Tong's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Really? Who is it?"
Pei Qingyuan thought for a while before answering him.
"It's my uncle." He considered every word carefully, and said in a cautious tone, "It's also your uncle."
