The interior of the hotel is also similar to the outside, with blue and white as the main colors. Behind the check-in desk, a smiling butler robot said kindly, "Welcome to Cretan Dream! I'm Luke the housekeeper, how many people need to check in?"
Lucille said to the robot skillfully, "They are my friends, no need to enter the system. Turn off the vacancy of the honeymoon suite on the third floor near the escape stairs."
Luke said cheerfully, "Okay, Lucille."
It seems that this Lucille is the owner of this hotel
The hallway is narrow, and there is a faint smell of smoke. There is no elevator, only a long and tortuous classical staircase. People often walk up and down quickly, and the group of people has to turn around and push each other awkwardly. The temperament of the residents here is slightly different from the people on the street outside. There is more vigilance in their eyes, and even men can occasionally be seen acting alone.
The three of them followed Lucille into the suite on the third floor closest to the escape stairs. The furnishings are very Mediterranean, but like most rooms in the normal world, every wall can be transformed into a screen. At this time, a 3D beach scene was played on one wall. The waves were slapping on the beach with silver lines, the soft breeze was blowing the flexible leaves of the palm trees, and occasionally seabirds swept by with a long sound. The scene is so vivid that one thinks it can blow the salty wind from the sea.
Zhang Xun once thought of transforming the walls of the Lab into this, but eventually gave up the plan due to lack of funds.
The suite has a huge bed that can sleep almost five or six people, and a whole shelf of wine, ranging from red wine to vodka. Diego's eyes glowed green as soon as he saw the rack of wine, and with a covetous face, he leaned over and poured himself a glass of vodka.
Lucille leaned against the bar, looking at James and Zhang Xun with sharp gray eyes, "Who are you from Paradise Lost?"
James glanced warily at Diego, who said, "You can trust her, she's going to kill herself to help us."
Zhang Xun then said, "My name is Zhang Xun, and I am the mechanic of Paradise Lost."
Lucille raised an eyebrow. "Mechanic? What crime did you commit? Was it driven out or ran away?"
Before Zhang Xun could speak, James replied first, "I offended a chief, and I can't go on."
Lucille's critical gaze shifted to the hunter, "I seem to have seen you, you occasionally haunt near Hope Town. Are you a hunter?"
"My name is James."
"A mechanic, a hunter, and an alcoholic." Lucille chuckled, cupping her cheeks with her hands. "Interesting combination. How much money do you have?"
The rapid change in the topic made Zhang Xun unable to react, and he realized that he didn't even have a dime on him.
All the money is still in the Lab…
Diego said in a familiar way, "Let's be old-fashioned, we'll help you work and pay off your debts."
However, James smiled calmly, "It's not necessary." Then he took off his backpack, dug into it for a long time, and actually took out a thick stack of coins.
Zhang Xun opened his mouth slightly, he still didn't know that James was so rich? Hidden rich
Then why does he wear that fur coat all day long
Lucille took the wad of money with satisfaction, her critical eyes turning into admiration. Today in the ordinary world, few people use paper money, and they all use Buttons for electronic money transmission. But in the black market, paper money remains the safest and least traceable currency. Anyone who knows how to pay with paper money must know the rules.
"Okay, you live here now, it's very safe. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. I'll make arrangements and come back to you." After Lucille finished speaking, he docked the information transmission channel with the three of them, and stroked himself gracefully. With silver hair, Chong Zhang Xun threw a wink and left.
The three women's clothing bosses looked at each other and looked at the big bed in unison.
"Hey, how are you two sleeping? I'll warn you first, I'm not sleeping well." Diego grinned at them both, showing his white teeth.
… … … … … … … … …
The in-house restaurant and bar are combined. Dim lighting and punk music, tables of people—mostly women—either chatting in low voices, or drinking and eating in silence, pervading a slightly repressed, private atmosphere that invites any sudden entry of outsiders It feels like sitting on pins and needles.
So Zhang Xun regretted his decision to come here for a drink.
James still didn't trust Lucille very much and insisted on going out and checking his surroundings to make sure he wasn't being followed or tapped. Diego himself was sleeping with a bottle of wine in his room. Zhang Xun wanted to use the computer in the room to check Pan's core modules, but his ears hurt due to Diego's thunderous snoring, so he wanted to go to the bar to find something to eat.
It was getting late at this time, and he was a little cramped and sat on a corner sofa seat with some scrutiny.
"Hello, I'm your waiter Enoch, what would you like?"
Very magnetic male voice, rarely heard in the ordinary world. Zhang Xun turned his head and saw a very well-made bionic service robot. He is tall and straight, with a soft and delicate facial contour, which looks like a handsome man in ancient Greece, with dark brown hair that is neatly combed back, but a pair of clear blue eyes, which makes Zhang inexplicably so. Xun thought of the other pair of eyes, and there was a fine pain in his heart.
He cleared his throat, trying to hide his emotions.
In fact, it is not necessary, after all, the other party is just a service robot.
"Any recommendations?"
“Today’s specials are roasted rabbit with Greek salad, roasted potatoes and onion soup. Our lemongrass chicken pasta is also doing well,” introduced the robot, who calls himself Enoch, dutifully and tenderly.
Zhang Xun looked at the menu absentmindedly and said, "Then let's roast rabbit meat."
"Okay, do you need a drink?"
Zhang Xun usually seldom drinks while eating, but tonight he suddenly wanted to drink a little, but not holding a bottle like Diego... He looked at the list of very particular cocktail names on the menu, After a while, he said, "A glass of whiskey."
The dishes and wine were brought up quickly. But in the end, Zhang Xun's meal didn't take a few sips, but he ordered another glass of wine.
"Is the food unpalatable?" Enoch reappeared beside him at some point, and asked with concern slightly bowing his body.
Zhang Xun glanced at him a little surprised, thinking that the complexity of the neural network of this robot might be more complicated than he imagined, and the expression was so sincere.
"No, I'm not too hungry." Zhang Xun twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.
Enoch did not leave as he thought, but asked further, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at the robot.
Can read emotions
Looking at the poverty level of this hotel, can they afford such a sophisticated service robot
This made Zhang Xun a little interested. After all, he hasn't had much chance to talk to the robots of the normal world.
"How do you judge that I'm in a bad mood?" Zhang Xun asked with great interest.
Enoch stared at him intently with his unblinking blue eyes, and replied earnestly, "The inside of your eyebrows are slightly raised, the corners of your mouth are drooping, and your shoulders are sagging, typical of sad body language. And you eat very little, but When I keep consuming alcohol, it is likely that I hope to use alcohol to stimulate the secretion of dopamine, so that I can feel a short-term pleasure and reduce my inner pressure."
Zhang Xun laughed twice and continued to ask, "If I'm really in a bad mood, do you have a solution?"
The corners of Enoch's mouth drew a perfect arc, "I can offer you several solutions that are suitable for you. For example, you can talk to me about your unhappiness. There is enough research to show that talking about pain can reduce pain. Or , I can give you hugs or other physical touches you want, which is also backed by a lot of research and can be effective in calming negative emotions.”
If it weren't for the other party's serious answer, Zhang Xun would almost think that the robot was molesting him...
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Enoch even more confused. He tilted his head slightly and said, "It seems that your pain has been alleviated, but I haven't implemented any measures yet."
"No, no, you've done a great job. Thank you." Zhang Xun smiled at the robot, and when he saw the service level evaluation page displayed on the robot's badge, he stretched out his hand and gave him a full score of five stars. " You are a great robot."
If it was the former Zhang Xun, he would not say thank you to the robot. In the past, he was just like everyone else, just using AI as a tool. Anyway, they have no feelings, and no matter how rude they are, they will not feel any difference.
But now Zhang Xun knows that sometimes his attitude towards them affects not them, but himself.
Enoch showed a very happy expression, probably a trigger expression set after getting a full score evaluation, "Thank you very much for your affirmation, I am very happy to be able to serve you."
Zhang Xun thought that was the only intersection between him and the robot.
Until the next morning, Zhang Xun heard someone knocking on the door, and the other two just turned over and didn't get up. He had to yawn and put on his nightgown, grabbed the voice changer and stuck it to his throat. Opening the door, he said, "Who is it?"
"Hello, Ms. Lucille has a message for you."
Why does the voice sound so familiar
Zhang Xun then opened the door a little, and looked out.
Isn't that Enoch the service robot from last night? !
I saw Enoch, still wearing the black vest and white shirt suit he used to work in the restaurant, stood upright at his door, holding a tray in one hand in the manner of an English housekeeper, with a lonely folded piece of paper on it.
"You...you wait a moment!"
Zhang Xun quickly picked up the wig and put it on his head, closed his pajamas and fastened the straps, and then closed the bedroom door to prevent the other two gentlemen who were too late to put on women's clothes. Then he opened the door.
Enoch stood there in the exact same posture, smiling, "Good morning." Then he stepped into the room.
Zhang Xun closed the door, picked up the note from the tray and looked at it. Lucille's handwriting was so flamboyant that it was hard to read. It was barely recognizable that she was saying that she had contacted some friends, but the road to New Zealand was not smooth. She was still making new arrangements, so they should not be in a hurry.
Probably worried that the information will be intercepted, so you choose to send the letter with pen and paper
But he wasn't familiar with Lucille either, not sure if it was from her. Fortunately, Button vibrated on the back of his hand, and a line of words appeared in his eyes, "You have a new message from Ms. Lucille, do you want to check it?"
Lucille's message was also very simple, basically letting them read the letter she left in the hotel.
It looks like it's really her...
"Thank you." After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he turned around and put the note on the table, intending to wait until Brother Diego wakes up to show him. But when he turned around, he found Enoch still standing there.
"Uh, why are you still here?" Zhang Xun had a slight headache.
Enoch said, "Ms. Lucille modified my parameters to make me special for the three of you. So I'll stay here. You can rest assured that I can go into standby without making any noise or leaking. Any of your privacy including conversations, images, etc. to third parties…”
"Wait a minute... Just for us? What do you mean?" As Zhang Xun said, he picked up the note and turned it to the back, but he really saw what she wrote, "I left a modified robot for you to be a bodyguard. Take it with you if you need to leave the hotel these days."
Zhang Xun frowned and looked at Enoch, only to see that the latter was already standing in a corner of the room, with straight eyes and a smile at the corners of his mouth, as if he had entered a standby state...
Why do I always feel that the smile of this robot is a bit... cunning
