“Not really.” He Xing chuckled. “Although I haven’t watched any dramas, I have external help by my side now. My colleague who works with me is an internet-addicted teenager. I learned everything from him.”

Du Yue was curious. “Does he have a girlfriend too?”

“No, he’s a single pringie!”

Du Yue was speechless. That was right. Only people who had never been in a relationship before were true love experts! If one experienced it personally, one would be confused and would only be waiting for others to give one pointers!

A few days later, when Du Yue went out again, she heard many people around her discussing the digging robots. The people who lived here were all capable people or their family members. They more or less had some connections and could inquire about a lot of internal information. When Du Yue went out to go to the toilet, she could hear a lot of gossip. Other things aside, what made Du Yue the most speechless was that she heard others discussing that since they could make digging robots, why could they not work harder to make robots that did house ch.o.r.es? It would be great if robots could do all kinds of housework for humans and even help coax children.

Hearing their discussion, Du Yue was speechless.

This group of people had become too greedy even though they were already many times happier than most people. When He Xing came back at night, Du Yue told him what she had heard. He Xing raised his eyebrows. “Don’t worry, I won’t make one for them.”

Du Yue was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted. “You mean, you can really make robots that can do housework?”

He Xing nodded. “Sure, it’s very simple. No matter what type of robot it is, there would be many similarities in the development process. If you want it, I’ll make it for you.”

If Du Yue wanted it, he could make one.

Du Yue did not want it, but she was curious. “Then, can the robot communicate with people? Do they have their own thoughts?”

He Xing and Du Yue looked at each other, and He Xing immediately guessed what she was thinking. “You want a robot that can chat with you?”

That made sense. He went out early and returned late every day. Xia Ju was also focused on studying her nutrient solution. Other than eating and going to the toilet, Du Yue would not take half a step out of the bedroom. Du Yue could only play with herself every day. It was really quite boring. “If you want it, I don’t have to make one. I can just buy one.”

“From the interstellar? The interstellar still sells such things?”

The corners of He Xing’s mouth curled up slightly. “Yes. The interstellar is far away, and many people would want someone to chat with when they go out. Therefore, someone specially developed this kind of robot.”

“Then how many things do you need to exchange for one?”

He Xing shook his head. “I don’t know either. Let me ask.”

Du Yue reacted. “You haven’t bought it before?”

He Xing was not embarra.s.sed that Du Yue had seen through him. He smiled. “Yeah, I’ve never bought it. I was used to being alone in the past and didn’t have anything to say to others. I’m only chatty with you.”

Even though Du Yue had watched countless dramas and read many romance novels, she still felt her face burn when He Xing stared at her with such affectionate eyes and said these words with a smile.

While Du Yue was still blushing, He Xing had already asked about the price. “It’s quite cheap. It’s only about ten catties of food. If it’s vegetables and fruits, it would be cheaper.”

Du Yue glanced at the Snowy Cold Fruits in her s.p.a.ce and had an idea. “Then let’s buy them with Snowy Cold Fruits! We won’t be able to finish all of them anyway!”

As Du Yue spoke, she took out a bag of five catties of rice, some Snowy Cold Fruits, and a scale.

After weighing six catties of Snowy Cold Fruits, Du Yue did not put the rest of the fruits into the s.p.a.ce. She could let Xia Ju taste them during dinner.

The speed of interstellar delivery was very fast, especially for this kind of thing that was in stock. The chat robot was very small, not even as big as Du Yue’s palm. It was like a small toy. It had a round head, a short and thick neck, a round belly, and a pair of short and fat hands and feet.. Du Yue stared at it for a long time, then turned to ask He Xing, “How do 1 use it?”
