Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 375: Farewell, My Baby Bottle

Beep beep beep~

The familiar OA message notification sounded. Zhou Yaling opened it and, as expected, it was a message from Zero.

A string of blue text, presumably the download link for some materials.

Zhou Yaling, full of excitement, opened the link and watched as it downloaded at over 700K per second. Seeing the file’s compressed size, she widened her eyes.

Over 200G of materials??? Bro, are you serious?

Are you sure it’s all study materials?

Just a moment ago, she was full of joy, but now Zhou Yaling felt a headache coming on.

The campus network speed at school can only manage 800K at best. How long will this 200-plus G compressed file take to download?

Should I use mobile data?

These materials are not just a bit much, they are overwhelmingly much.

Just then, Zero sent another message.

Upon seeing it, Zhou Yaling shivered a little, her hand holding the mouse shook.

Oh my God, this is just the beginner’s material. There’s also intermediate and advanced.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yaling replied to Zero.

"The file is too big, and the internet speed is too slow to download. Think of a way."

"???"

"The crappy internet speed, just wait."

Just when Zhou Yaling thought Zero was going to change the speed limit, Zero sent a new link.

"Alright, it can be viewed online now."

"If the browsing link isn’t accessed for over a week, it will self-destruct, as it takes up too much server resources—it costs money."

Zhou Yaling twitched her mouth, thinking, whether or not it costs money, what does it have to do with an AI like you?

She knows very well that the supercomputer in the tech park is the one that consumes the most electricity.

Last time she heard from her brother that the daily electricity bill is a fortune.

Zhou Yaling really didn’t want to deal with this AI, Zero, often it was quite annoying.

Upon opening the new link and seeing the thoughtful directory, her good feelings for Zero rose slightly.

"So there really are so many small videos. No wonder the file is so large."

Zhou Yaling sighed with relief, thankful that it wasn’t all books; otherwise, it would be life-threatening.

Suddenly, Zhou Yaling noticed the laptop’s camera was on, the faint red light unmistakable.

Her face darkened instantly; she didn’t need to think to know that besides Zero, no one would bother hacking her lousy computer.

As if sensing Zhou Yaling’s change in expression, the camera light went off immediately.

"Bro, can you keep your AI in check? That thing secretly turned on the camera trying to catch me in an embarrassing moment."

Shortly after, Zhou Yaling received a reply from Mo Jingchun.

"Artificial stupidity, it’s normal, you need to accept Zero’s flaws."

"Ha, I’m starting to suspect it’s you."

"Give it up, you look like a plain flower, what’s there to see?"

"I’ve got so many employees under me, plenty of pretty ones. Have I found you a sister-in-law?"

Zhou Yaling pouted.

Just then, she looked up to find one of her roommates had come to the library too.

They exchanged glances, with no particular wave of emotion in their eyes.

Watching her roommate head to another study room, Zhou Yaling raised her eyebrow.

Is this... an academic competition?

Or was she inspired and is preparing for grad school exams?

"Whatever, who cares about her. After graduation, we’ll probably stay out of touch."

With that, Zhou Yaling dove back into her studies.

In the evening, wearing pajamas, Candy stood on a small stool, locking eyes with her brother.

Mo Jingchun handed the milk powder can directly to his sister.

"Here, pour the last bit into the bottle."

"A few days ago, we agreed that once this last can of milk powder is gone, we won’t drink it anymore."

"Mm~" Looking at the empty milk powder can, then at the milk powder in the bottle, the little one smiled and nodded.

"Once you finish this last bottle, big brother will throw away the bottle, okay?"

Without any hesitation, she responded firmly, "Okay!"

At that moment, the little one hadn’t fully realized the seriousness of the situation, a smile on her face, cheerfully, even with a bit of excitement.

The little one didn’t consider how sad the upcoming farewell would be.

After preparing the milk, Mo Jingchun handed the bottle to the little one.

Chin in hands, he watched Candy roll on the sofa, lovingly drinking milk from the bottle.

At that moment, Candy was completely immersed in the joy of drinking milk.

Visibly, the milk in the bottle gradually decreased until she had to tilt the bottle to drink the last bit.

After drinking the last bit, Candy sat up and shook the bottle, making a clattering sound.

Chin in hands, Mo Jingchun quietly watched the little one, and gently said:

"Now throw away the bottle."

At that moment, the little one realized what was happening, speechless and choked up.

Looking at the bottle in her hand, her heart filled with reluctance.

The little one kissed the bottle, muttering to herself:

"Bottle, we’re saying goodbye now..."

"Goodbye... I won’t have you anymore."

The little one’s lips moved, sneaking a glance at her brother.

Her little hand tightly gripping the bottle, feeling at a loss for where to put them.

Seeing her brother silent, Candy looked at her brother with pitiful eyes.

Her brother remained silent, so Candy looked back down at the bottle in her hand.

"In our home..."

"We’ll forever..."

"Say no more goodbyes."

The little one started to choke up.

Yet she bravely held back her tears.

Gazing at the nearby trash can, Candy reluctantly placed the bottle inside.

In the next moment, Candy clung to her brother’s leg, choking as she gazed at the bottle lying quietly in the trash can.

"Did brother take it away?"

At this moment, the little one could no longer hold it in and cried.

Their little eyes fixed on the trash bag in brother’s hand.

Sitting on the floor, with nowhere to place her little hands, she could only touch her little feet.

Watching her brother turn away, the little one sitting on the floor chased after him, crying as she followed behind.

Until the trash bag was tossed into the smelly big bin, the little one dove directly into her brother’s embrace.

Seeing the little one trying so hard not to cry, Mo Jingchun felt a tinge of regret.

But if she doesn’t kick the habit, her teeth will develop poorly.

In severe cases, she might develop buck teeth.

Who knows how long it took, the little one, seemingly cried out, fell asleep in Mo Jingchun’s arms.

Gently laying her on the bed and tucking her in, Mo Jingchun went downstairs.

Opening the smelly trash can, Mo Jingchun retrieved the trash bag he had tossed and retrieved the bottle.

After washing and drying it, Mo Jingchun placed the bottle into the display cabinet in his study.

"Hopefully, when you see the bottle again in the future, you’ll feel a tiny bit of joy."

With a casual flick, he turned off the study’s light and returned to the bedroom.
