Chapter 81: Advanced Toys

After Liu Ben's somewhat sarcastic remark, Wu Hao merely smiled casually and didn't pay much attention to it. After finishing their lunch, the two continued driving towards Wu Hao's village.

Now, the road from the town to Wu Hao's home had been newly renovated, becoming a village-level cement road that could accommodate two vehicles.

In less than half an hour, Wu Hao, followed by Liu Ben, arrived at the entrance of his new home in the village.

"Look, isn't that Wu's kid's car? Why is there a van following behind?"

"That van must be carrying their New Year goods. Tsk tsk, Hong Guojia has indeed raised a good son! Not only did he contribute money to repair our village road, but he also built such a huge house in the village. I heard that the cost of that house alone was in the tens of millions!" The villagers along the way observed as Wu Hao's car passed by their village entrance, engaging in conversations.

"Tens of millions in cost? That's a lot! But wasn't Wu's kid the one who won only a few million in the lottery?"

"You don't know this. Last time, I heard Hong Guo say that their son Wu Hao seemed to have made quite a bit of money by investing in stocks with that money! Otherwise, how could he spend so much money on building a house?"

"Oh, is that so! No wonder Wu Hao isn't often at home. Turns out he's out there making big money!" Although he didn't understand what stock investment was, it sounded impressive, indicating that it was a lucrative business.

As it turned out, during a previous phone call with his family, Wu Hao's parents asked him what he had been busy with lately. At the same time, they also got an idea of the approximate cost of their new villa.

After all, even though the villagers were all from a farming background, not all of them were inexperienced. Some of them could roughly estimate the cost of the newly constructed villa. Nowadays, whenever something happened to any household, news would quickly spread within a radius of ten miles.

So, even though Wu Hao's parents didn't know the specifics, these rumors soon reached their ears. When faced with their parents' inquiries, Wu Hao quickly came up with an excuse, saying that he had been investing in stocks and earned quite a bit of money since winning the lottery, reassuring them not to worry about financial matters.

"So, you're Hao'er's classmate! Please come in!" Zhang Huilan quickly smiled and greeted them.

"No need to be so polite, Aunt. I'll bring the goods into your house first! Wu Hao bought a lot of things from my place this time!" Liu Ben smiled and then opened the car trunk to start unloading the items. Wu Hao also joined in and helped.

However, Wu Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the side, exclaimed when she saw the fireworks being unloaded from the car one after another, "Wow, brother, why did you buy so many fireworks?"

"Hehe, didn't you always like watching fireworks before? This time, I bought more so we can have a fireworks party. Isn't that nice?" Wu Hao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Huilan, standing nearby, laughed and complained, "You, always spending money recklessly."

Soon, with the help of Wu Hao, dozens of boxes of fireworks and some New Year goods were unloaded from the car and placed in different areas of the villa.

"Sis, what's this thing on the back seat of your car?" Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the white plastic device holding a large white object and asked.

"Oh, this! It's a 'toy' I had someone buy for you from abroad," Wu Hao thought for a moment and directly gave the object the title of a toy.

In fact, toys like this, similar to the large white object, were already available on the market. However, Wu Hao's version appeared more high-end. As long as no one opened it to reveal any special functions in front of them, pretending it was a sophisticated toy would not be a problem.

To prevent the device from being recognized by others, Wu Hao had already set up special programs inside it. Its health check function was only accessible to his parents and sister, and it would display its intelligent conversational abilities only to them.

In front of others, it would only show basic toy abilities, such as simple conversations and walking.

There are already various types of humanoid robots in the world, so as long as this large white object didn't exhibit any extraordinary abilities in front of outsiders, it wouldn't cause much of a stir. At most, it would be seen as a high-end toy.
