No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1836: Golden Lotus Extra (13)

Hannah put down the paintbrush, rubbed its head with both hands, and bent down to kiss its forehead, "Thank you, Dayuan."

Dayuan was so happy, it was like it was flying!

Its eyes were filled with excitement.

She kissed me! She kissed me! Hannah kissed me!

Jinlian looked disdainful, muttering, "Bootlicker."

It decided it would stop liking Dayuan from now on!

Jinlian jumped off Hannah’s lap and knocked over the bouquet of flowers as a show of its anger.

But Hannah just said to it, "Don’t run around."

Jinlian: "..." It became even angrier.

It felt that Hannah didn’t care about it at all. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Jinlian ran away.

Dayuan was genuinely playing hide-and-seek with Dahuang and didn’t notice it.

Halfway through, seeing no one chasing after it, Jinlian squatted in the bushes, covered with dry leaves on its head, feeling like it was abandoned by the whole world.

Never mind.

Anyway, it’s used to it.

Since gaining consciousness, the people and other AIs around it have never liked it.

They all thought it was a defective product, useless, unable to help its owner and only adding to the trouble. It wasn’t as smart as Dalang, nor as good at pleasing people as Dayuan.

It was sure to be discarded.

The more Jinlian thought about it, the sadder it became, and the sadder it felt, the more... sleepy.

In the interstellar age, AI was created from the start to assist humans.

Without its own consciousness, its sole purpose was to obey commands.

Until technology became more advanced.

Just like a painting that started with stiff lines gradually becoming more intricate, from formless to tangible, AI also began to have its own body.

Actually, Jinlian appeared very early, just like Dalang, they were both first-generation products.

But then, due to being too old and outdated, it was abandoned in the junkyard.

Later, it and Dalang were found and taken away by someone.

What happened during that time, Jinlian doesn’t know, perhaps Dalang does, but it never mentioned it.

When Jinlian regained consciousness again, it was already assigned as a support system to the interstellar livestream platform.

Hannah wasn’t its first owner, but she was the first to treat it well, not despise it, not hit it, not scold it, and even took it away from the livestream platform.

It really liked Hannah.

Just like for a dog, its owner is its whole world and happiness.

In truth, it’s not that it wanted so desperately to become human, it just wanted to prove that it wasn’t so useless, and not a defective product, that it could do what other AIs could.

But looking at it now, it seemed like it was still that useless.

It couldn’t even do a little thing right, only holding back others, actually from the very beginning, even without it, Hannah could have completed her tasks well, right?

She was so talented, she deserved a better AI, like Dalang.

Thinking of this, it felt even more sorrowful.

Jinlian turned over, picking up more fallen leaves on its body.

What would it take to become as capable as Dalang?

As the sun set, each household started fires for cooking, and the kids who’d played enough outside picked up their school bags from the ground and ran towards home.

Tomorrow would be the first day of summer vacation, no need to do homework or go to bed early tonight, the children were especially happy, and it seemed like the whole of Buli buzzed with excitement.

The twilight glow covered the entire small town.
