Chapter 1162: 1161 Harvest

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tan Rou left Wang Si’s house with the nursing robot. When she went downstairs, she met Zhuang Liu at the stairwell, who was about to go upstairs. She was a little surprised. “Why are you here?”

Zhuang Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tan Rou walk down safely. “I’m here to look for you. I’m sorry, I didn’t investigate properly when I was looking for volunteers and included people like Wang Si.”

Tan Rou smiled. “You don’t have to apologize. I have to thank you. If you hadn’t invited Wang Si in, I wouldn’t have had the chance to get the experimental data of robots protecting humans. This experiment made me realize many shortcomings, but it also provided me with a direction for future improvements, so I’m still very happy.”

Zhuang Liu blamed himself. “I only heard about the newspaper from Xiao Mo this afternoon. It’s a paper newspaper, the spread of news is very slow, so when I heard the news, many hours had already passed. There’s no way to stop the news from circulating. I called you, but no one picked up, so I went to the company to look for you.”

Tan Rou rummaged through her pockets. Other than a pack of napkins and a wallet, there was nothing else. “Oh, I used my phone to record the conversation. After recording, I put my phone next to the keyboard, so I didn’t bring it with me.”

Zhuang Liu apologized, “I’m sorry…”

Tan Rou interrupted him. “This is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself anymore. And didn’t I say it already? This experiment has really helped me a lot. If you blame yourself again, I’ll be angry.”

Since Tan Rou had said this, Zhuang Liu could no longer show that sad expression. “Alright, then I’ll treat you to a meal to make up for my mistake.”

“Only a meal?” Tan Rou asked.

Zhuang Liu did not even think about it. He replied subconsciously, “I’ll pay for the research funding for this robot. Before your robot goes on the market, this promise will be effective.”

Tan Rou revealed a satisfied smile. “You said this yourself, I didn’t force you.”

“Of course, I won’t go back on my words,” Zhuang Liu said.

They were not people who lacked money. A few million or tens of millions were just a small amount to them. Any property that the two of them owned in the capital was worth more than a few million.

Tan Rou nodded. “I’m hungry. I’m giving you a chance to treat me to a meal. Seize it.”

“Alright, then let’s go to your favorite restaurant often,” Zhuang Liu chuckled.

Tan Rou ordered the dishes in advance. “I want some prawns. Do they have them now?”

“As long as it’s something you want to eat, it’ll be available in any season,” Zhuang Liu replied domineeringly.

Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu had the ability to do so. “Then let’s go quickly!”

Zhuang Liu glanced at the robot behind Tan Rou. “How do we arrange this robot? Is it going to eat with us?”

The nursing robots could walk on their own. Not only could they take the stairs, but they could also take the elevator. If the program and route were designed well, their behavior would not be much different from that of a human four or five-year-old child.

Tan Rou looked back at the robot, then turned around and pressed on its limbs and neck a few times. The robot, which was about 1.7 meters tall, immediately turned into a small robot that was only one meter tall which could now fit into the back of their car.

Zhuang Liu was very surprised. Although he had seen this robot before, he had only seen it once and did not know much about it.

“This robot can change its dimension? What other functions do I not know?” asked Zhuang Liu.

Tan Rou revealed a proud smile. “There are many functions that you don’t know about. It’s just that it’s still in the experimental stage, so we can’t input too many instructions to the robot. We’ll add more instructions when the system matures in the later stages.”

Zhuang Liu was looking forward to it. “I really hope I have a robot like this when I’m old.”

“When that time comes, I’ll be by your side. Why do you still need a robot?” Tan Rou asked.

Zhuang Liu’s heart felt warm. “When you’re old, I’ll be by your side too. The two of us will support each other until the end of our lives.”

Tan Rou placed the folded robot into the trunk of her car. “Let’s go eat.”
