“Bzzz… Hello, Master! I’m your chat robot, 99.”
Du Yue turned around and asked Xia Ju, “You named it 99?”
Xia Ju shook her head. “No, it’s manufactured with the number 99.1 just called it 99 because I thought it was troublesome. 99, say hello to the young lady.”
“In this world, only Master is my young lady. No one else is worthy.”
Du Yue was speechless. Xia Ju slammed 99 onto the table. “I told you that there’s something wrong with its brain. I didn’t expect it to still be like this after using the brain tonic. It’s better to let it soak in it for a few more years!”
Du Yue, who had previously expressed her disagreement, nodded with a serious expression. “You’re right. It should sit in there more!”
Although 99’s body was already swaying, it could still speak. “Master, you’ve finally come to find me. I’ve been waiting for you for so long that the flowers have withered.”
121 said, “Please, you old thing. Can you not pollute everyone’s ears with so many flowery words?!”
“What do you know?! Little brat, I’ve been charged many times more than you.”
In the following period of time, Du Yue and the other two became spectators. 99 and 121 started quarreling under the attention of the three of them. Xia Ju originally wanted to throw 99 into the brain tonic, but seeing that it was in a heated argument with 121, she dispelled the idea. Xia Ju approached Du Yue and whispered, “The two of them can go and do a podcast.”
Du Yue nodded. “Yes, if they were to do a podcast, they would crush those in the industry.”
Humans needed to rest, but 99 and 121 could talk non-stop. The two robots had a wide vocabulary, so it was very interesting to listen to them talk to each other.
After listening for a while, Du Yue finally remembered about the Snowy Cold Fruit. She took one and handed it to Xia Ju. “Try this.”
Xia Ju took the Snowy Cold Fruit from her hand, her eyes filled with doubt. “What is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
“It’s called the Snowy Cold Fruit. We found it in the wild when we were in the first base,” Du Yue explained seriously. “From the time it sprouts to the time it blooms, both its leaves and fruit are pure white. Moreover, it grows in a forest of ice and snow. It’s very difficult to pick, but it tastes very good.”
Hearing Du Yue’s explanation, Xia Ju was a little curious. “The temperature is so low in the extreme cold, but it can still grow and mature. It’s so magical. I’ll take some time to study it and see how it can grow in such a cold environment.”
As she spoke, Xia Ju looked at the few Snowy Cold Fruits on the table. “Can you give me all of these? 1 want to take them away for research.”
Du Yue originally only wanted to give Xia Ju a taste of a new flavor. She did not expect Xia Ju to not want to eat the fruits but take them away for research.
“Sure.” Du Yue nodded. “Take them all. If it’s not enough, 1 have more in my space.” There were still tens of thousands of kilograms of Snowy Cold Fruits in the space, enough for Xia Ju to study them until the end of time.
Xia Ju shook her head. “These few are enough.”
Seeing Xia Ju carry the Snowy Cold Fruits back to her room, Du Yue remembered that she did not take 99 with her. Just as she was about to call her, she saw Xia Ju quickly slam the door shut. Du Yue blinked. “Did she do it on purpose? She doesn’t want 99 anymore?”
He Xing nodded. “Yes, it’s obvious.”
Although it was quite interesting to watch 99 and 121 quarrel, it was also very noisy after a long time. At night, Du Yue and He Xing decisively turned off the two robots at the same time. With a click, the whole world returned to its usual peace and quiet. Du Yue rubbed her ears. “I suddenly feel that it’s actually quite good to be alone. I don’t need anyone to chat with.”
He Xing smiled and hugged her in his arms. “Okay, then turn them on when you need them.”
“Yeah.”
Her days as a couch potato at home were dull and comfortable. When Du Yue came back to her senses, she realized that a week had passed. In the past few days, Xia Ju seemed to have disappeared except during mealtimes when she made a brief appearance. Du Yue once again sighed at Xia Ju’s scientific research spirit. At the same time, she was also very curious about what magic the Snowy Cold Fruit had to make Xia Ju forget to eat and sleep for so many days. Although Du Yue did not know how far Xia Ju’s research had progressed, she had an inexplicable feeling that Xia Ju was not researching the Snowy Cold Fruit just to eat it. If she just wanted to eat it, the tens of thousands of catties worth of Snowy Cold Fruit in Du Yue’s space would be enough for the three of them to eat until the end of time..
